We
are very delighted that you have shown interest in our enterprise.
Data protection is of a particularly high priority for the management
of the European Science Communication Institute (ESCI) gGmbH. The use
of the Internet pages of the European Science Communication Institute
(ESCI) gGmbH is possible without any indication of personal data;
however, if a data subject wants to use special enterprise services
via our website, processing of personal data could become necessary.
If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no
statutory basis for such processing, we generally obtain consent from
the data subject.
The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, e-mail
address, or telephone number of a data subject shall always be in
line with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and in
accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations
applicable to the European Science Communication Institute (ESCI)
gGmbH. By means of this data protection declaration, our enterprise
would like to inform the general public of the nature, scope, and
purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process.
Furthermore, data subjects are informed, by means of this data
protection declaration, of the rights to which they are entitled.
As the controller, the European Science Communication Institute
(ESCI) gGmbH has implemented numerous technical and organizational
measures to ensure the most complete protection of personal data
processed through this website. However, Internet-based data
transmissions may in principle have security gaps, so absolute
protection may not be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject
is free to transfer personal data to us via alternative means, e.g.
by telephone.
1. Definitions
The data protection declaration of the European Science
Communication Institute (ESCI) gGmbH is based on the terms used by
the European legislator for the adoption of the General Data
Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our data protection declaration should
be legible and understandable for the general public, as well as our
customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to
first explain the terminology used.
In this data protection declaration, we use, inter alia, the
following terms:
Personal data
:
Personal data means any information relating to an identified or
identifiable natural person (“data subject”). An identifiable
natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly,
in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an
identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one
or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic,
mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural
person.
Data subject:
Data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person,
whose personal data is processed by the controller responsible for
the processing.
Processing
:
Processing is any operation or set of operations which is
performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or
not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organisation,
structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval,
consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or
otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction,
erasure or destruction.
Restriction of processing:
Restriction of processing is the marking of stored
personal data with the aim of limiting their processing in the
future.
Profiling
:
Profiling means any form of automated processing of personal data
consisting of the use of personal data to evaluate certain personal
aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyse or
predict aspects concerning that natural person’s performance at
work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests,
reliability, behaviour, location or movements.
Pseudonymisation:
Pseudonymisation is the processing of personal
data in such a manner that the personal data can no longer be
attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional
information, provided that such additional information is kept
separately and is subject to technical and organisational measures
to ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified
or identifiable natural person.
Controller or controller responsible for the
processing:
Controller or controller responsible for the processing is the
natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body
which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and
means of the processing of personal data; where the purposes and
means of such processing are determined by Union or Member State
law, the controller or the specific criteria for its nomination may
be provided for by Union or Member State law.
Processor
:
Processor
is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body
which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.
Recipient
:
Recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency
or another body, to which the personal data are disclosed, whether a
third party or not. However, public authorities which may receive
personal data in the framework of a particular inquiry in accordance
with Union or Member State law shall not be regarded as recipients;
the processing of those data by those public authorities shall be in
compliance with the applicable data protection rules according to
the purposes of the processing.
Third party
:
Third party is a natural or legal person, public authority,
agency or body other than the data subject, controller, processor
and persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or
processor, are authorised to process personal data.
Consent:
Consent of the data subject is any freely given, specific,
informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject’s wishes
by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action,
signifies agreement to the processing of personal data relating to
him or her.

4. Cookies
The Internet pages of the European Science Communication
Institute (ESCI) gGmbH use cookies. Cookies are text files that are
stored in a computer system via an Internet browser.
Many Internet sites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain
a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the
cookie. It consists of a character string through which Internet
pages and servers can be assigned to the specific Internet browser in
which the cookie was stored. This allows visited Internet sites and
servers to differentiate the individual browser of the dats subject
from other Internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific
Internet browser can be recognized and identified using the unique
cookie ID.
Through the use of cookies, the European Science Communication
Institute (ESCI) gGmbH can provide the users of this website with
more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the
cookie setting.
By means of a cookie, the information and offers on our website
can be optimized with the user in mind. Cookies allow us, as
previously mentioned, to recognize our website users. The purpose of
this recognition is to make it easier for users to utilize our
website. The website user that uses cookies, e.g. does not have to
enter access data each time the website is accessed, because this is
taken over by the website, and the cookie is thus stored on the
user’s computer system. Another example is the cookie of a shopping
cart in an online shop. The online store remembers the articles that
a customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart via a cookie.
The data subject may, at any time, prevent the setting of cookies
through our website by means of a corresponding setting of the
Internet browser used, and may thus permanently deny the setting of
cookies. Furthermore, already set cookies may be deleted at any time
via an Internet browser or other software programs. This is possible
in all popular Internet browsers. If the data subject deactivates the
setting of cookies in the Internet browser used, not all functions of
our website may be entirely usable.
5. Collection of general data and information
The website of the European Science Communication Institute (ESCI)
gGmbH collects a series of general data and information when a data
subject or automated system calls up the website. This general data
and information are stored in the server log files. Collected may be
(1) the browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system
used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing
system reaches our website (so-called referrers), (4) the
sub-websites, (5) the date and time of access to the Internet site,
(6) an Internet protocol address (IP address), (7) the Internet
service provider of the accessing system, and (8) any other similar
data and information that may be used in the event of attacks on our
information technology systems.
When using these general data and information, the European
Science Communication Institute (ESCI) gGmbH does not draw any
conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is
needed to (1) deliver the content of our website correctly, (2)
optimize the content of our website as well as its advertisement, (3)
ensure the long-term viability of our information technology systems
and website technology, and (4) provide law enforcement authorities
with the information necessary for criminal prosecution in case of a
cyber-attack. Therefore, the European Science Communication Institute
(ESCI) gGmbH analyzes anonymously collected data and information
statistically, with the aim of increasing the data protection and
data security of our enterprise, and to ensure an optimal level of
protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data of
the server log files are stored separately from all personal data
provided by a data subject.
6. Routine erasure and blocking of personal data
The data controller shall process and store the personal data of
the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose
of storage, or as far as this is granted by the European legislator
or other legislators in laws or regulations to which the controller
is subject to.
If the storage purpose is not applicable, or if a storage period
prescribed by the European legislator or another competent legislator
expires, the personal data are routinely blocked or erased in
accordance with legal requirements.
7. Rights of the data subject
Right of confirmation:
Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European
legislator to obtain from the controller the confirmation as to
whether or not personal data concerning him or her are being
processed. If a data subject wishes to avail himself of this right
of confirmation, he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of
the controller.
Right of access
:
Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European
legislator to obtain from the controller free information about his
or her personal data stored at any time and a copy of this
information. Furthermore, the European directives and regulations
grant the data subject access to the following information:
the purposes of the processing;
the categories of personal data
concerned;
the recipients or categories of
recipients to whom the personal data have been or will be
disclosed, in particular recipients in third countries or
international organisations;
where possible, the envisaged
period for which the personal data will be stored, or, if not
possible, the criteria used to determine that period;
the existence of the right to
request from the controller rectification or erasure of personal
data, or restriction of processing of personal data concerning the
data subject, or to object to such processing;
the existence of the right to
lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority;
where the personal data are not
collected from the data subject, any available information as to
their source;
the existence of automated decision-making, including
profiling, referred to in Article 22(1) and (4) of the GDPR and,
at least in those cases, meaningful information about the logic
involved, as well as the significance and envisaged consequences
of such processing for the data subject.
Furthermore, the data subject shall have a right to obtain
information as to whether personal data are transferred to a third
country or to an international organisation. Where this is the case,
the data subject shall have the right to be informed of the
appropriate safeguards relating to the transfer.
If a data subject wishes to avail himself of this right of
access, he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of the
controller.
Right to rectification:
Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European
legislator to obtain from the controller without undue delay the
rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning him or her.
Taking into account the purposes of the processing, the data subject
shall have the right to have incomplete personal data completed,
including by means of providing a supplementary statement.
If a data subject wishes to exercise this right to rectification,
he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of the controller.
Right to erasure (Right to be forgotten):
Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European
legislator to obtain from the controller the erasure of personal
data concerning him or her without undue delay, and the controller
shall have the obligation to erase personal data without undue delay
where one of the following grounds applies, as long as the
processing is not necessary:
The personal data are no longer
necessary in relation to the purposes for which they were
collected or otherwise processed.
The data subject withdraws
consent to which the processing is based according to point (a) of
Article 6(1) of the GDPR, or point (a) of Article 9(2) of the
GDPR, and where there is no other legal ground for the processing.
The data subject objects to the
processing pursuant to Article 21(1) of the GDPR and there are no
overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or the data
subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21(2) of the
GDPR.
The personal data have been
unlawfully processed.
The personal data must be erased
for compliance with a legal obligation in Union or Member State
law to which the controller is subject.
The personal data have been collected in relation to the
offer of information society services referred to in Article 8(1)
of the GDPR.
If one of the aforementioned reasons applies, and a data subject
wishes to request the erasure of personal data stored by the
European Science Communication Institute (ESCI) gGmbH, he or she
may, at any time, contact any employee of the controller. An
employee of European Science Communication Institute (ESCI) gGmbH
shall promptly ensure that the erasure request is complied with
immediately.
Where the controller has made personal data public and is obliged
pursuant to Article 17(1) to erase the personal data, the
controller, taking account of available technology and the cost of
implementation, shall take reasonable steps, including technical
measures, to inform other controllers processing the personal data
that the data subject has requested erasure by such controllers of
any links to, or copy or replication of, those personal data, as far
as processing is not required. An employees of the European Science
Communication Institute (ESCI) gGmbH will arrange the necessary
measures in individual cases.
Right of restriction of processing
:
Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European
legislator to obtain from the controller restriction of processing
where one of the following applies:
The accuracy of the personal
data is contested by the data subject, for a period enabling the
controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data.
The processing is unlawful and
the data subject opposes the erasure of the personal data and
requests instead the restriction of their use instead.
The controller no longer needs
the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but they are
required by the data subject for the establishment, exercise or
defence of legal claims.
The data subject has objected to
processing pursuant to Article 21(1) of the GDPR pending the
verification whether the legitimate grounds of the controller
override those of the data subject.
If one of the aforementioned
conditions is met, and a data subject wishes to request the
restriction of the processing of personal data stored by the
European Science Communication Institute (ESCI) gGmbH, he or she may
at any time contact any employee of the controller. The employee of
the European Science Communication Institute (ESCI) gGmbH will
arrange the restriction of the processing.
Right to data portability:
Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European
legislator, to receive the personal data concerning him or her,
which was provided to a controller, in a structured, commonly used
and machine-readable format. He or she shall have the right to
transmit those data to another controller without hindrance from the
controller to which the personal data have been provided, as long as
the processing is based on consent pursuant to point (a) of Article
6(1) of the GDPR or point (a) of Article 9(2) of the GDPR, or on a
contract pursuant to point (b) of Article 6(1) of the GDPR, and the
processing is carried out by automated means, as long as the
processing is not necessary for the performance of a task carried
out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority
vested in the controller.
Furthermore, in exercising his or her right to data portability
pursuant to Article 20(1) of the GDPR, the data subject shall have
the right to have personal data transmitted directly from one
controller to another, where technically feasible and when doing so
does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.
In order to assert the right to data portability, the data
subject may at any time contact any employee of the European Science
Communication Institute (ESCI) gGmbH.
Right to object:
Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European
legislator to object, on grounds relating to his or her particular
situation, at any time, to processing of personal data concerning
him or her, which is based on point (e) or (f) of Article 6(1) of
the GDPR. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions.
The European Science Communication Institute (ESCI) gGmbH shall
no longer process the personal data in the event of the objection,
unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the
processing which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the
data subject, or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal
claims.
If the European Science Communication Institute (ESCI) gGmbH
processes personal data for direct marketing purposes, the data
subject shall have the right to object at any time to processing of
personal data concerning him or her for such marketing. This applies
to profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct
marketing. If the data subject objects to the European Science
Communication Institute (ESCI) gGmbH to the processing for direct
marketing purposes, the European Science Communication Institute
(ESCI) gGmbH will no longer process the personal data for these
purposes.
In addition, the data subject has the right, on grounds relating
to his or her particular situation, to object to processing of
personal data concerning him or her by the European Science
Communication Institute (ESCI) gGmbH for scientific or historical
research purposes, or for statistical purposes pursuant to Article
89(1) of the GDPR, unless the processing is necessary for the
performance of a task carried out for reasons of public interest.
In order to exercise the right to object, the data subject may
contact any employee of the European Science Communication Institute
(ESCI) gGmbH. In addition, the data subject is free in the context
of the use of information society services, and notwithstanding
Directive 2002/58/EC, to use his or her right to object by automated
means using technical specifications.
Automated individual decision-making, including
profiling
:
Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European
legislator not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated
processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects
concerning him or her, or similarly significantly affects him or
her, as long as the decision (1) is not is necessary for entering
into, or the performance of, a contract between the data subject and
a data controller, or (2) is not authorised by Union or Member State
law to which the controller is subject and which also lays down
suitable measures to safeguard the data subject’s rights and
freedoms and legitimate interests, or (3) is not based on the data
subject’s explicit consent.
If the decision (1) is necessary for entering into, or the
performance of, a contract between the data subject and a data
controller, or (2) it is based on the data subject’s explicit
consent, the European Science Communication Institute (ESCI) gGmbH
shall implement suitable measures to safeguard the data subject’s
rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, at least the right to
obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express
his or her point of view and contest the decision.
If the data subject wishes to exercise the rights concerning
automated individual decision-making, he or she may, at any time,
contact any employee of the European Science Communication Institute
(ESCI) gGmbH.
Right to withdraw data protection consent:
Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European
legislator to withdraw his or her consent to processing of his or
her personal data at any time.
If the data subject wishes to exercise the right to withdraw the
consent, he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of the
European Science Communication Institute (ESCI) gGmbH.
11. Data protection provisions about the
application and use of Matomo
On this website, the controller has integrated the Matomo
component. Matomo is an open-source software tool for web analysis.
Web analysis is the collection, gathering and evaluation of data on
the behavior of visitors from Internet sites. A web analysis tool
collects, inter alia, data on the website from which a data subject
came to a website (so-called referrer), which pages of the website
were accessed or how often and for which period of time a sub-page
was viewed. A web analysis is mainly used for the optimization of a
website and the cost-benefit analysis of Internet advertising.
The software is operated on the server of the controller, the data
protection-sensitive log files are stored exclusively on this server.
The purpose of the Matomo component is the analysis of the visitor
flows on our website. The controller uses the obtained data and
information, inter alia, to evaluate the use of this website in order
to compile online reports, which show the activities on our Internet
pages.
Matomo sets a cookie on the information technology system of the
data subject. The definition of cookies is explained above. With the
setting of the cookie, an analysis of the use of our website is
enabled. With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this
website, the Internet browser on the information technology system of
the data subject is automatically through the Matomo component
prompted to submit data for the purpose of online analysis to our
server. During the course of this technical procedure, we obtain
knowledge about personal information, such as the IP address of the
data subject, which serves to understand the origin of visitors and
clicks.
The cookie is used to store personal information, such as the
access time, the location from which access was made, and the
frequency of visits to our website. With each visit of our Internet
pages, these personal data, including the IP address of the Internet
access used by the data subject, are transferred to our server. These
personal data will be stored by us. We do not forward this personal
data to third parties.
The data subject may, as stated above, prevent the setting of
cookies through our website at any time by means of a corresponding
adjustment of the web browser used and thus permanently deny the
setting of cookies. Such an adjustment to the used Internet browser
would also prevent Matomo from setting a cookie on the information
technology system of the data subject. In addition, cookies already
in use by Matomo may be deleted at any time via a web browser or
other software programs.
In addition, the data subject has the possibility of objecting to
a collection of data relating to a use of this Internet site that are
generated by Matomo as well as the processing of these data by Matomo
and the chance to preclude any such. For this, the data subject must
set a “Do Not Track” option in the browser.
With each setting of the opt-out cookie, however, there is the
possibility that the websites of the controller are no longer fully
usable for the data subject.
Further information and the applicable data protection provisions
of Matomo may be retrieved under https://matomo.org/privacy/.
12. Data protection provisions about the
application and use of Twitter
On this website, the controller has integrated components of
Twitter. Twitter is a multilingual, publicly-accessible microblogging
service on which users may publish and spread so-called ‘tweets,’
e.g. short messages, which are limited to 280 characters. These short
messages are available for everyone, including those who are not
logged on to Twitter. The tweets are also displayed to so-called
followers of the respective user. Followers are other Twitter users
who follow a user’s tweets. Furthermore, Twitter allows you to
address a wide audience via hashtags, links or retweets.
The operating company of Twitter is Twitter International Company,
One Cumberland Place, Fenian Street Dublin 2, D02 AX07, Ireland.
With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this Internet
site, which is operated by the controller and on which a Twitter
component (Twitter button) was integrated, the Internet browser on
the information technology system of the data subject is
automatically prompted to download a display of the corresponding
Twitter component of Twitter. Further information about the Twitter
buttons is available under
https://about.twitter.com/de/resources/buttons. During the course of
this technical procedure, Twitter gains knowledge of what specific
sub-page of our website was visited by the data subject. The purpose
of the integration of the Twitter component is a retransmission of
the contents of this website to allow our users to introduce this web
page to the digital world and increase our visitor numbers.
If the data subject is logged in at the same time on Twitter,
Twitter detects with every call-up to our website by the data subject
and for the entire duration of their stay on our Internet site which
specific sub-page of our Internet page was visited by the data
subject. This information is collected through the Twitter component
and associated with the respective Twitter account of the data
subject. If the data subject clicks on one of the Twitter buttons
integrated on our website, then Twitter assigns this information to
the personal Twitter user account of the data subject and stores the
personal data.
Twitter receives information via the Twitter component that the
data subject has visited our website, provided that the data subject
is logged in on Twitter at the time of the call-up to our website.
This occurs regardless of whether the person clicks on the Twitter
component or not. If such a transmission of information to Twitter is
not desirable for the data subject, then he or she may prevent this
by logging off from their Twitter account before a call-up to our
website is made.
The applicable data protection provisions of Twitter may be
accessed under https://twitter.com/privacy?lang=en.
13. Data protection provisions about the
application and use of YouTube
On this website, the controller has integrated components of
YouTube. YouTube is an Internet video portal that enables video
publishers to set video clips and other users free of charge, which
also provides free viewing, review and commenting on them. YouTube
allows you to publish all kinds of videos, so you can access both
full movies and TV broadcasts, as well as music videos, trailers, and
videos made by users via the Internet portal.
The operating company of YouTube is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon
House, Barrow Street, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland.
With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this Internet
site, which is operated by the controller and on which a YouTube
component (YouTube video) was integrated, the Internet browser on the
information technology system of the data subject is automatically
prompted to download a display of the corresponding YouTube
component. Further information about YouTube may be obtained under
https://www.youtube.com/yt/about/en/. During the course of this
technical procedure, YouTube and Google gain knowledge of what
specific sub-page of our website was visited by the data subject.
If the data subject is logged in on YouTube, YouTube recognizes
with each call-up to a sub-page that contains a YouTube video, which
specific sub-page of our Internet site was visited by the data
subject. This information is collected by YouTube and Google and
assigned to the respective YouTube account of the data subject.
YouTube and Google will receive information through the YouTube
component that the data subject has visited our website, if the data
subject at the time of the call to our website is logged in on
YouTube; this occurs regardless of whether the person clicks on a
YouTube video or not. If such a transmission of this information to
YouTube and Google is not desirable for the data subject, the
delivery may be prevented if the data subject logs off from their own
YouTube account before a call-up to our website is made.
YouTube’s data protection provisions, available at
https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/, provide information
about the collection, processing and use of personal data by YouTube
and Google.
14. Legal basis for the processing
Art. 6(1) lit. a GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing
operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing
purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the
performance of a contract to which the data subject is party, as is
the case, for example, when processing operations are necessary for
the supply of goods or to provide any other service, the processing
is based on Article 6(1) lit. b GDPR. The same applies to such
processing operations which are necessary for carrying out
pre-contractual measures, for example in the case of inquiries
concerning our products or services. Is our company subject to a
legal obligation by which processing of personal data is required,
such as for the fulfillment of tax obligations, the processing is
based on Art. 6(1) lit. c GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of
personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the
data subject or of another natural person. This would be the case,
for example, if a visitor were injured in our company and his name,
age, health insurance data or other vital information would have to
be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. Then the
processing would be based on Art. 6(1) lit. d GDPR. Finally,
processing operations could be based on Article 6(1) lit. f GDPR.
This legal basis is used for processing operations which are not
covered by any of the abovementioned legal grounds, if processing is
necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our
company or by a third party, except where such interests are
overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the
data subject which require protection of personal data. Such
processing operations are particularly permissible because they have
been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. He considered
that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a
client of the controller (Recital 47 Sentence 2 GDPR).
15. The legitimate interests pursued by the
controller or by a third party
Where the processing of personal data is based on Article 6(1)
lit. f GDPR our legitimate interest is to carry out our business in
favor of the well-being of all our employees and the shareholders.
16. Period for which the personal data will be
stored
The criteria used to determine the period of storage of personal
data is the respective statutory retention period. After expiration
of that period, the corresponding data is routinely deleted, as long
as it is no longer necessary for the fulfillment of the contract or
the initiation of a contract.
17. Provision of personal data as statutory or
contractual requirement; Requirement necessary to enter into a
contract; Obligation of the data subject to provide the personal
data; possible consequences of failure to provide such data
We clarify that the provision of personal data is partly required
by law (e.g. tax regulations) or can also result from contractual
provisions (e.g. information on the contractual partner). Sometimes
it may be necessary to conclude a contract that the data subject
provides us with personal data, which must subsequently be processed
by us. The data subject is, for example, obliged to provide us with
personal data when our company signs a contract with him or her. The
non-provision of the personal data would have the consequence that
the contract with the data subject could not be concluded. Before
personal data is provided by the data subject, the data subject must
contact any employee. The employee clarifies to the data subject
whether the provision of the personal data is required by law or
contract or is necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether
there is an obligation to provide the personal data and the
consequences of non-provision of the personal data.
18. Existence of automated decision-making
As a responsible company, we do not use automatic decision-making
or profiling.
Developed by the specialists for LegalTech at
Willing & Able that also developed the system for clickwrap
agreements. The legal texts contained in our privacy policy
generator have been provided and published by Prof.
Dr. h.c. Heiko Jonny Maniero from the German Association for
Data Protection and Christian
Solmecke from WBS law.
