DATA COLLECTION AND USE OF PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION

We collect personally identifiable information, such as your name, surname, email address and your industry directly from you when you choose to enter it into forms on our website, for example through the “Request a Demo”, “Schedule a Meeting”, “Download PDF” and “Subscribe” to our newsletter forms.
USE. We use this information for the purpose of responding to the request or inquiry you have submitted to us through the contact form or other entry field, to initiate business or perform under a contract (based on Art. 6 (1) b) GDPR).
We also use this information for our own marketing purposes (based on Art. 6 (1) f) GDPR), such as to send you the requested newsletter or other promotional emails. To do so, we enter the data you have provided into our CRM system.
At times, we might invite you to an event, which we believe you could benefit from or contact you via the email address you provided to expand our business relationship.
You may at any time revoke your consent and choose to stop receiving our marketing emails by following the unsubscribe instructions included in any of these communications.
NEWSLETTER.
If you request our newsletter, we will regularly inform you about our products and campaigns. We use a double opt-in procedure to subscribe.
When you subscribe, the data from the input screen is sent to us, via Pardot (see privacy settings) form and processed:
- your email address
- time of registration
- IP address used for the registration until you cancel the newsletter.
In our newsletter, we use technologies to measure interaction with the newsletter (e.g. opening of the e-mail, links clicked). We use these data in aggregate form for general statistical evaluations and to optimize and develop our contacts and customer communication. This is done with the aid of embedded graphics (pixels). We do not combine this data with personal data.
The legal basis for this is our foregoing legitimate interest under the terms of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. We wish to share topics with you that are actually relevant and try to better understand the interests of our readers.
If you do not wish your use pattern to be analyzed, you may cancel the newsletter or disable graphics in your email program at any time. The data relating to the interaction with our newsletter is stored pseudonymously for 30 days and then completely anonymized.

INFORMATION SHARING. We do not share your information with third parties for their promotional purposes.

Such third parties who provide services on our behalf are authorized to use your personal information only as strictly necessary to provide these services to us.

DATA COLLECTION AND USE OF PSEUDONYMIZED INFORMATION
THIRD-PARTY SERVICES.
We use services whose providers are partly located in so-called third countries, i.e. countries whose data protection level does not correspond to that of the EU. Insofar as this is the case and the European Commission has not issued an adequacy decision (Art. 45 GDPR) for these countries, we have taken appropriate precautions to ensure an adequate level of data protection for any data transfers. These include standard contractual clauses of the EU or binding internal data protection regulations. Where this is not possible, we base the transfer of data on exceptions of Art. 49 GDPR, in particular your express consent or the necessity of the transfer for the performance of the contract.
If a transfer to a third country is envisaged and no adequacy finding or suitable guarantees have been provided, it is possible that authorities in the third country in question (e.g. secret services) may gain access to the transferred data and that the enforceability of your data subject rights cannot be guaranteed. You will also be informed of this when your consent is obtained.
PASSIVE COLLECTION.
As is true of most websites, we gather certain information automatically. This information may include truncated Internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, the files viewed on our site (e.g., HTML pages, graphics, etc.), operating system, date/time stamp, and/or clickstream data to analyze trends in the aggregate and administer the site. Any session information is deleted upon termination of the respective browser session.
COOKIES
Our website uses cookies to make visiting as user-friendly as possible and to enable you to use certain functions. Cookies are small text files that are stored on the delegated hard drive of your browser and through which certain information flows back to the person who set the cookie (in this case to us). Cookies are used to improve the usability and effectiveness of our website.
Cookies are stored on the user’s computer, which transmits these to our website. Therefore, users have full control over the use of cookies. You may disable or restrict the transmission of cookies by changing your web browser settings.
Previously stored cookies can be deleted at any time. This may also be done automatically. If cookies are disabled for our website, you may no longer be able to use all of its functionality.
To enable you to select the data protection settings for your visits to our website that best suit your requirements, we give you the option of adjusting your preferences with respect to the following categories: marketing, functional, essential and analytics.
Regarding the analytics category, this website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses “cookies”, to help the website analyze how you use it.
The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website (including your IP address) will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. If the IP anonymization is activated on this website, your IP address will previously be truncated by Google within the EU member states or EEA member states. Only in exceptional cases will the IP address be transferred to Google on a server in the United States and thereafter be truncated.
On behalf of the website operator, Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity for website operators and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage. The IP address that was transmitted by your browser will not be combined by Google with any other data.

http://tools.google.com/dlpage.... Additional information thereto is available at http://tools.google.com/dlpage... and http://www.google.com/analytic... (general information to Google Analytics and privacy). This website uses Google Analytics with its extension code “gat._anonymizeIp()“ so that IP addresses will therefore only be processed in a shortened form to prevent persons from being identified. This anonymized data will be retained for 14 months.
We do not process any of this information, directly or indirectly, with the help of a third party or otherwise, to determine your identity.
