Data Privacy

Privacy policy

1. General information

The protection of your personal data is very important to Simplifier AG. It is important to us to inform you about which personal data we collect while visiting our web pages and when registering, how they are used and what options are available to you. This data protection policy provides answers to the most important questions.

2. What general data and information is collected by Simplifier AG?

The Simplifier AG website acquires a number of general data and information each time a person or an automated system accesses the website. This general data and information is stored in the log files of the server. You can enter the:

  • used browser types and versions,
  • the operating system used by the requesting system,
  • the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrer),
  • the subwebsites which are accessed via an accessing system on our website,
  • the date and time of access to the website,
  • an Internet Protocol (IP) address,
  • the Internet service provider of the accessing system and
  • other similar data and information used for security purposes in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.

3. When and for what purpose does Simplifier AG collect general data and information?

Simplifier AG does not use the general data and information to identify the person targeted. Rather, this information is required to correctly deliver the contents of our website, to optimize the contents of our website as well as the advertising for it, to ensure the permanent functionality of our information technology systems and the technology of our website and to provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for criminal prosecution in the event of a cyber attack.

These anonymously collected data and information are therefore evaluated by Simplifier AG statistically and with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in our company in order to ultimately ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data processed by us. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a person concerned.

4. When does personal data have to be provided, is there an obligation to do so and what are the consequences of not being provided?

Simplifier AG collects, stores or uses data only for its own business purposes.

Principally, our websites are available to all users without the collection of personal data. Personal data will only be requested, processed and used to the extent necessary to provide services or content that you have requested.

The availability of personal data is partly required by law (e.g. due to tax regulations) or may result from contractual regulations (e.g. information on the contractual partner). When concluding a contract, it may be necessary that you provide us with personal data which must subsequently be processed by Simplifier AG, otherwise the contract with you cannot be concluded. You may contact our data protection officer before providing personal data. The latter can clarify on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of your personal data is required by law or contract or necessary for the conclusion of the contract and what consequences the failure to provide the personal data has.

5. Usage of cookies

Cookies” are sometimes used on our websites. This standard technology conceals small text files which are stored on the device you are using and which, among other things, make it possible to make visiting a website more comfortable or safer. Cookies can also be used to better match the offer on a website to the interests of visitors or to improve it in general on the basis of statistical evaluations.

You can decide yourself whether or not the browser you are using allows cookies. Please note that website functionality may be limited or even disabled if cookies are not allowed.

If you allow us to use cookies through your browser settings or consent, the following cookies may be used on our websites:

  • Website session cookies: These cookies serve as an identification feature for the duration of your visit to our website. This only applies to the current session.

6. Usage of Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google Inc. (Google Inc., 600 Amphitheatre Parkway, MountainView, CA 94043, USA). Google Analytics uses “cookies”, which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyze how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. In principle, Google automatically anonymizes IP addresses on our website by means of shortening them. Only in exceptional cases IP addresses are transmitted to Google servers in the USA, where they are made anonymous by shortening them. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide the website operator with other services relating to website and Internet use. The IP address transmitted by your browser in the context of Google Analytics is not merged with other Google data. You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser, however please note that if you do this you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website. You can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and relating to your use of the website (including your IP address) and from processing this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under the following link: Browser Add-On to disable Google Analytics

If you allow us to use cookies through your browser settings or approval, the following Google Analytics cookies may be used on our websites:

  • The tracking provider Google Analytics uses various forms of cookies, which serve to provide general information about:
    • Evaluation of usage statistics,
    • Distinguishing between users and sessions,
    • Identification of new visitors to the website,
    • Measurement of the duration of website visits,
    • Identification of visitor sources

Further information on terms of use and data protection are available at:
http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html or:
http://www.google.com/intl/de/analytics/privacyoverview.html.

7. Google Tag Manager

This website uses the Google Tag Manager. This service allows website tags to be managed through an interface. The Google Tool Manager only implements tags. This means that no cookies are used and no personal data is collected. The Google Tool Manager triggers other tags, which in turn collect data if necessary. However, the Google Tag Manager does not access this data. If a deactivation has been made at domain or cookie level, it remains valid for all tracking tags if they are implemented with the Google Tag Manager.

8. Usage of LinkedIn Analytics for web analysis

LinkedIn Analytics, a web analysis service of LinkedIn (LinkedIn Corporation, 2029 Stierlin Court, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA), collects and stores data on this website from which user profiles are created using pseudonyms. These usage profiles are used to analyse visitor behaviour and are evaluated to improve and design our offer in line with demand.

Cookies may be used for this purpose. The pseudonymised user profiles are not combined with personal data about the bearer of the pseudonym without the express consent of the data subject to be given separately.

You can object to the collection and storage of data by LinkedIn for the purpose of web analysis at any time with effect for the future. You can find more information following the link: https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy

9. Usage of Google Remarketing and DoubleClick

This website uses the remarketing function of Google Inc. This makes it possible to present interest-related advertising to website visitors within Google’s advertising network. For this purpose, a so-called “cookie” is stored on the visitor’s computer. The string contained in it serves to recognize a visitor when he or she visits websites that are part of the Google advertising network. This may include advertisements that refer to content previously viewed on websites that use Google Remarketing.

Google uses the so-called “DoubleClick” cookie for this purpose. This is the same cookie that is used on websites that run advertising programs from Google subsidiary DoubleClick. No advertising from third parties is placed on our pages. The DoubleClick cookie is used here for remarketing purposes only.

Google does not collect any personal data with the remarketing function according to its own statements. However, if you do not wish Google to use the “interest-based advertising” function, you can deactivate it in the settings located at: http://www.google.com/settings/ads . Alternatively, you can also configure your browser so that it accepts no cookies or only certain cookies. Please note that this may limit the functionality and convenience of websites. You can also disable the use of cookies for interest-based advertising via the Advertising Network Initiative. To do this, follow the instructions at: http://www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp.

10. Usage of AdRoll Retargeting Technology

This website uses AdRoll retargeting technology (AdRoll, 972 Mission St, 3rd Floor, San Francisco, CA 94103, USA). This makes it possible to target those Internet users who have already visited our website with advertising material to third party sites. From studies we know that the insertion of personalized, interest-related advertising for the Internet user is more interesting than advertising that has no such personal reference. The insertion of the advertising media during retargeting is based on a cookie-based analysis of the previous user behaviour. Of course, no personal data is stored and the use of retargeting technology is also carried out in compliance with the applicable legal data protection regulations. You can generally read more about Adroll’s Privacy Policy and Guidelines: http://www.adroll.com/about/privacy and additionally you can disagree to the anonymous analysis of your surfing behaviour (opt-out) https://app.adroll.com/optout/safari.

11. What is “Conversion Tracking” and how is it used?

Our websites use Google Conversion Tracking. When you access our websites via a Google ad, Google AdWords stores a cookie on your computer. This cookie loses its validity after 30 days and serves only to recognize whether they visit our web pages within this time. It is not possible to draw any conclusions about you personally. The information collected using the conversion cookie is used to compile statistics on our conversion rate. This means that we know how many users come from a Google ad. If you do not wish to participate in the tracking process, you can deactivate cookies for conversion tracking by setting your browser settings to block cookies from the “googleadservices.com” domain..

12. What is “A/B Testing” and how is it used?

We continuously improve the user-friendliness of our website and workflows for our customers. For this purpose, we use A/B testing technology from time to time. This involves modifying small parts of our website for certain user groups in order to be able to measure improvements or deteriorations under real conditions. In order to be able to carry out the selection of test variants and the measurement of these tests properly, our website technology uses a short-lived session cookie as well as a cookie, which can be valid for a longer period of time (up to several years). Both cookies do not allow any conclusions to be drawn about your person and we do not pass on any further data to third party providers. If you do not wish to participate in the A/B tests, you can disable cookies for conversion testing by setting your browser to block cookies.

13. Embedded videos and images from external websites.

Some of our pages contain embedded content from Google (Google Forms and Google Captcha), YouTube (Google), Citrix (GoToWebinar registration) or Instagram. With the sole call of a side from our Internet offer with merged videos or pictures from our YouTube and/or Instagram channel no personal data, with exception of the IP address, are transmitted. In the case of Google and YouTube, the IP address is transmitted to Google Inc, 600 Amphitheatre Parkway, MountainView, CA 94043, USA, in the case of GoToWebinar/Citrix to Citrix Systems, Inc. 4988 Great America Parkway Santa Clara, CA 95054, USA and in the case of Instagram to Instagram Inc. 181 SouthPark Street Suite 2 San Francisco, California 94107, USA.

14. Social plug-ins from Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn

On our website we offer you the possibility of using so-called “Social Plugins” of the companies:

  • Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA;
  • „Tweet“-Schaltfläche von Twitter Inc., 795 Folsom St., Suite 600, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA;
  • „Recommended-Button“ von LinkedIn Corporation, 2029 Stierlin Court, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA;

For the protection of your data we rely during the implementation on the fact that the Plugins on the web page are represented only as a diagram, which contains a linking on the appropriate web page of the Plugin offerer. By clicking on the graphic you will be forwarded to the respective services of the providers. Only then are their data sent to the respective services. If you do not click on the graphic, there will be no exchange between you and the social networks mentioned above.

Information about the collection and use of your data in the social networks can be found in the respective terms of use of the respective providers.

15. Where is your data used?

Your data will be used in Germany. Data processing also takes place abroad only in individual cases and to the extent permitted by law.

16. How safe are your data?

To prevent unauthorized access and misuse of your data, we have taken extensive technical and operational security precautions in accordance with German law.

17. Will your data be transmitted to third parties?

Yes, some data must be forwarded under strict contractual and legal conditions.

To external service providers for data processing: When service providers come into contact with our customers’ personal data, this takes place within the framework of so-called order data processing. This is expressly provided for by law (§ 11 Federal Data Protection Act). Simplifier AG remains responsible for the protection of your data even in this case. The service provider works exclusively in accordance with our instructions, which we ensure through strict contractual regulations, technical and organisational measures and supplementary controls.

We do not pass on any further data to third parties unless you have given your express consent or this is provided for by law.

18. Newsletter

Information on the newsletter and consents

With the following information we inform you about the contents of our newsletter as well as the registration, dispatch and statistical evaluation procedure and your rights of objection. By subscribing to our newsletter you agree to the receipt and the described procedures.

Contents of the newsletter

We will only send newsletters, e-mails and other electronic notifications containing advertising information (hereinafter “newsletters”) with the consent of the recipients or a legal permission. If the contents of a newsletter are specifically described within the scope of a registration, they are decisive for the consent of the users. In addition, our newsletters contain information on legal topics, especially in the field of marketing law, data protection and our law firm (this may include references to blog articles, lectures or workshops, our services or online appearances).

Double-Opt-In and logging

To make registration easier, we do not use the double opt-in procedure. In each of our forms, however, the user has the option of registering for further information covering the area of interest by ticking the “I have read and accept the data protection regulations” checkbox.

Subscriptions to the newsletter are logged in order to be able to prove the registration process in accordance with legal requirements. This includes the storage of the login and confirmation time, as well as the IP address. Also the changes of your data stored with HubSpot are logged.

Usage of the “HubSpot ” mail service provider

The newsletter is sent via “HubSpot “, a newsletter distribution platform of the US provider HubSpot, Inc., 25 First Street, 2nd Floor, Cambridge, MA 02141 USA.

The e-mail addresses of our newsletter recipients, as well as their further data described in the context of these notes, are stored on the servers of HubSpot in the USA. HubSpot uses this information to send and evaluate the newsletter on our behalf. Furthermore, HubSpot can use this data according to its own information to optimize or improve its own services, e.g. to technically optimize the sending and presentation of the newsletter or for economic purposes, in order to determine from which countries the recipients come. However, HubSpot does not use the data of our newsletter recipients to write them down or pass them on to third parties.

We trust in the reliability and IT and data security of HubSpot . HubSpot is certified under the US-EU data protection agreement „Privacy Shield“ and thus commits itself to comply with EU data protection regulations. Furthermore, we have concluded a „Data-Processing-Agreement“ with HubSpot . This is a contract in which HubSpot undertakes to protect the data of our users, to process them on our behalf in accordance with their data protection regulations and in particular not to pass them on to third parties. The data protection regulations of HubSpot can be viewed here.

credentials

To subscribe for the newsletter, it is sufficient in principle if you enter your e-mail address. Optionally, we ask you to enter your first and last name. This information is only used to personalise the newsletter. Furthermore, we ask you also optionally to indicate companies. We only use this information to adapt the contents of the newsletter to the interests of our readers.

Statistical surveys and analyses

The newsletters contain a so-called “web-beacon”, i.e. a pixel-sized file that is retrieved from the HubSpot server when the newsletter is opened. Within the scope of this retrieval, technical information, such as information about the browser and your system, as well as your IP address and time of retrieval are initially collected. This information is used to technically improve the services based on the technical data or the target groups and their reading behaviour based on their retrieval locations (which can be determined using the IP address) or access times.

The statistical surveys also include determining whether the newsletters are opened, when they are opened and which links are clicked. For technical reasons, this information can be assigned to the individual newsletter recipients. However, it is neither our endeavour, nor that of HubSpot, to observe individual users. The evaluations serve us much more to recognize the reading habits of our users and to adapt our contents to them or to send different contents according to the interests of our users.

Online access and data management

There are cases where we direct the newsletter recipients to the web pages of HubSpot . For example, our newsletters contain a link with which the newsletter recipients can call up the newsletter online (e.g. in case of display problems in the e-mail program). Furthermore, newsletter recipients can subsequently correct their data, e.g. the e-mail address. Likewise, the privacy policy of HubSpot is only available on their site.

In this context we pointed out that cookies are used on the websites of HubSpot and thus personal data are processed by HubSpot , its partners and service providers (e.g. Google Analytics). We have no influence on this data collection. Further information can be found in the privacy policy of HubSpot .

Cancellation/Revocation

You can cancel the receipt of our newsletter at any time, i.e. revoke your consent. At the same time your consents to its dispatch via HubSpot and the statistical analyses expire. A separate cancellation of the dispatch via HubSpot or the statistical evaluation is unfortunately not possible.

You will find a link to cancel the newsletter at the end of each newsletter.

Legal basis of the basic data protection regulation

In accordance with the provisions of the Basic Data Protection Regulation (BDPR) applicable from 25 May 2018, we inform you that your consents to the sending of e-mail addresses are based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a, 7 BDPR and § 7 para. 2 no. 3 and para. 3 UWG. The use of the shipping service provider HubSpot, carrying out statistical surveys and analyses as well as logging of the registration procedure, are based on our legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. We are interested in using a user-friendly and secure newsletter system that serves our business interests and meets the expectations of our users.

We would also like to point out that you can object to the future processing of your personal data at any time in accordance with the statutory provisions of Art. 21 BDPR. The objection may be lodged in particular against processing for direct marketing purposes.

19. Contacting Simplifier AG

20. Handling your personal data

We only handle personal data as far as this is possible in accordance with data protection regulations. We also take all necessary technical and organisational security measures to adequately protect your personal data from unauthorised access and misuse at all times.

Insofar as we store or process personal data, this is done within a high-security computer centre. To protect the security of your data during transmission, we use encryption methods (e.g. SSL) via HTTPS. Our servers are protected by firewall and virus protection. Back-up and recovery procedures as well as role and authorization concepts are a matter of course for us.

Our employees are obliged to observe the regulations of the Telemedia Law, the Federal Data Protection Law and the EU-BDPR when handling data.

21. Handling of customer data with the CRM system that is used

For processing customer service inquiries and for customer communication by e-mail or telephone in accordance with your consent, your personal customer data will be stored and processed in our HubSpot CRM system. By default, HubSpot hosts customer data in Europe (based on the IP address used during registration).

Data provided or transmitted with the establishment of contact or in a personal conversation will be used in this system for sales, business and advertising purposes for further use. If you no longer agree, you can object to this at any time by writing or by contacting us as explained under point 16.
