We collect data from you and process it. Which? Why? Where from? For how long? And are we allowed to do so at all?


Data categories

We process

- Information that you have given us on the occasion of your newsletter registration via SMS, e-mail or online or together with your business cards, such as contact details (e.g. address, e-mail address, telephone number),
- Verification data, which allow us to draw conclusions about the origin, correctness and status of a consent or registration (e.g. contact ID, registration status, bounce status, entry date, SMS message, IP address or mobile phone number of the entry, confirmation date, IP address of the confirmation, unsubscription date, IP address unsubscription, referrer),
- Usage data from which we can directly or indirectly determine how you react to information sent and/or provided by us.


Sources

- Some information, such as your contact information, we receive together with your consent via SMS, e-mail, online form or your business card from you,
- some information, such as verification data, is obtained from responses to e-mails or SMS sent by us to you and/or by you to us, as well as from the respective e-mails or SMS.


Purposes and legal basis

- If we send you the information you requested (e.g. newsletter, slides for the presentation, etc.), our processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit a GDPR.
- If we retain data that we are legally obliged to retain, this allows us Art. 6 para. 1 lit c GDPR.
- If we use your email address with your consent in the context of custom audience from Facebook or corresponding offers from other providers, our processing is based on Art. 6 (1) lit a of the GDPR.
- Since we have a legitimate interest in obtaining an overview of the success or failure of our information and/or advertising campaigns, Art. 6 (1) lit f GDPR allows us to process data that shows us whether and, if so, how you respond to the information we send you and the information we provide.
- Since we have a legitimate interest in being able to defend ourselves against unjustified claims by third parties, Art. 6 (1) lit f GDPR allows us to process such data as is necessary to defend against unjustified claims.


Storage period

After revocation of your consent, we will delete all data that was processed on the basis of the revoked consent, except for that which we still need or are required by law to retain in order to defend against unjustified claims. This data will be deleted when all claims have become time-barred and the retention periods have expired. The same applies to data whose further processing you have objected to within the scope of a right of objection to which you are entitled.

What do you need to know about your consent, your right of revocation and your right to object?

You can revoke your consent to receive our information (e.g. by SMS or e-mail) at any time with effect for the future. To do so, send us an e-mail to the e-mail address listed under "Who is responsible?" or use the unsubscribe link, which you will find in the footer of each e-mail.

If you do not want us to be able to track whether and how you have reacted to the content we send you (e.g. e-mails), you can object to the processing of your data for this purpose.

Do we disclose your data and, if applicable, to whom?


We disclose your data to external service providers who assist us in the following activities: Collecting your business card, storing and managing data (including sending SMS and emails), IT support, running events (including our webinars), evaluating our campaigns.

In doing so, we ensure that these service providers are carefully selected, contractually bound in accordance with data protection requirements, and audited. These service providers may also include companies that process your data outside the European Economic Area or are based there. Among these companies, we only select companies that process the data in locations for which there is an adequacy decision by the Commission (Article 45 GDPR). If this requirement is not met, we only engage these service providers if they provide sufficient security guarantees (Article 46 GDPR), for example by agreeing to the EU standard contractual clauses. On the pages of the European Commission, you can find out which countries are covered by adequacy decisions (as of November 2019: ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/international-dimension-data-protection/adequacy-decisions_en) and which EU standard contractual clauses may be applied (https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/international-dimension-data-protection/standard-contractual-clauses-scc_en).

Are we required to collect data? What happens if we do not collect this data?


There is no legal obligation to collect the aforementioned data. However, if we do not collect certain data, it may not be possible to pursue the purposes we pursue with this data, such as sending you the information you requested, and you may therefore not receive the information you requested.

What rights do you have?


You have

- a right of withdrawal, with which you can at any time withdraw your consent to the future storage and/or processing of data relating to you,
- a right of access, with which you can request information about the personal data that we have about you and numerous circumstances relating to the processing of this data (Art. 15 GDPR),
- a right to rectification, with which you can request the correction of incorrect and/or completion of incomplete data relating to you (Art. 16 GDPR),
- a right to erasure, with which you can essentially demand the erasure of such data whose storage and/or processing we are not - any longer - permitted to carry out (Art. 17 GDPR),
- a right to restriction of processing, with which you can, under certain circumstances, prevent data stored about you from being further processed for certain purposes (Art. 18 GDPR),
- a right to object to processing, with which you can, under certain circumstances, prevent such processing which is only permitted to us on the basis of a balancing of our and your interests (Art. 21 (1) GDPR),
- Right to object to the processing of your data for the purposes of direct marketing, with which you can prevent, for example, the sending of direct marketing by post, SMS, email, Whatsapp, etc. (Art. 21(2) GDPR),
- Right to data portability, with which you can request the surrender of data concerning you and which we have received from you digitally in a common exchange format from us (Art. 20 GDPR).

We do not use automated decision-making, so that you do not need the right - to which everyone is entitled - to personal knowledge and decision (Art. 22 GDPR).

If, after you have exercised your rights in this regard, we have had to restrict the processing of data, delete data or correct data, we are legally obliged to inform third parties to whom the data affected by your exercise of rights have been transmitted of the correction, deletion and/or restriction (Art. 19 GDPR).

How do we use Klick-Tipp?


(1) In our online communication with you, we use the services of KLICK-TIPP LIMITED, 15 Cambridge Court, 210 Shepherd's Bush Road, London W6 7NJ, United Kingdom. We obtain these services through a principal contractual relationship with Digistore24 GmbH, St.-Godehard-Straße 32, 31139 Hildesheim, Germany. Digistore24 is a reseller that procures products or services, such as Klick-Tipp, and sells them to buyers without significant further processing. With Klick-Tipp itself, we have additionally concluded an order processing in the sense of Article 28 DSGVO. This ensures that we have full control over the personal data processed there and that Klick-Tipp implements our instructions in a mirror image.

(2) We store your contact data at Klick-Tipp and, where applicable, process the data we process via the online marketing tools described in more detail in this privacy policy. This is because these providers are fully integrated with Klick-Tipp via a secure interface. Therefore, it is possible that Klick-Tipp takes note of this data, whereby - as already mentioned above - Klick-Tipp has no own right of use with regard to this data and is fully subject to our instructions.

(3) Furthermore, Klick-Tipp allows us to link your personal data with so-called tags. Klick-Tipp distinguishes between two types of tags:
SmartTags: when a contact registers via a registration form, he automatically receives a tag with the name of the registration form in question. Klick-Tipp also automatically sets the tags "Email received", "Email opened", "Email clicked" and "Email viewed in browser".
Manual tags: In addition to SmartTags, manual tags can be created. For example, you can tag contacts with the tag "Customer" or, more specifically, with the tag "Product B purchased".

(4) The details about these and other options we use at Klick-Tipp can be found in the Klick-Tipp manual.
