Recipients of personal data

In the scope of our business activities, we cooperate with various external parties. In some cases this requires the transfer of personal data to these external parties. We only share personal data with external parties if this is required in conjunction with the fulfillment of a contract, if we are legally obligated to do so (e.g. sharing of data with tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest in the sharing pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, or if another legal basis permits the sharing of this data. When using processors, we only share personal data of our customers on the basis of a valid data processing agreement. In the case of joint processing, a joint processing agreement is concluded.

Revocation of your consent to the processing of data

A wide range of data processing transactions are possible only subject to your express consent. You can also revoke at any time any consent you have already given us. This shall be without prejudice to the lawfulness of any data collection that occurred prior to your revocation.

Right to object to the collection of data in special cases; right to object to direct advertising (Art. 21 GDPR)

IN THE EVENT THAT DATA ARE PROCESSED ON THE BASIS OF ART. 6(1)(E) OR (F) GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO AT ANY TIME OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA BASED ON GROUNDS ARISING FROM YOUR UNIQUE SITUATION. THIS ALSO APPLIES TO ANY PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. TO DETERMINE THE LEGAL BASIS ON WHICH ANY PROCESSING OF DATA IS BASED, PLEASE CONSULT THIS DATA PROTECTION DECLARATION. IF YOU LOG AN OBJECTION, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR AFFECTED PERSONAL DATA, UNLESS WE ARE IN A POSITION TO PRESENT COMPELLING PROTECTION-WORTHY GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING OF YOUR DATA THAT OUTWEIGH YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS, OR IF THE PURPOSE OF THE PROCESSING IS THE CLAIMING, EXERCISING OR DEFENCE OF LEGAL ENTITLEMENTS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(1) GDPR).

IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS BEING PROCESSED IN ORDER TO ENGAGE IN DIRECT ADVERTISING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO AT ANY TIME OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR AFFECTED PERSONAL DATA FOR THE PURPOSES OF SUCH ADVERTISING.

IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL SUBSEQUENTLY NO LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT ADVERTISING PURPOSES (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(2) GDPR).

Right to log a complaint with the competent supervisory agency

In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects are entitled to log a complaint with a supervisory agency, in particular in the member state where they usually maintain their domicile, place of work or at the place where the alleged violation occurred. The right to log a complaint is in effect regardless of any other administrative or court proceedings available as legal recourses.

Right to data portability

You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a commonly used, machine-readable format. If you should demand the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will be done only if it is technically feasible.

Information about, rectification and eradication of data

Within the scope of the applicable statutory provisions, you have the right to at any time demand information about your archived personal data, their source and recipients as well as the purpose of the processing of your data. You may also have a right to have your data rectified or eradicated. If you have questions about this subject matter or any other questions about personal data, please do not hesitate to contact us at any time.

Right to demand processing restrictions

You have the right to demand the imposition of restrictions as far as the processing of your personal data is concerned. To do so, you may contact us at any time. The right to demand restriction of processing applies in the following cases:

  • In the event that you should dispute the correctness of your data archived by us, we will usually need some time to verify this claim. During the time that this investigation is ongoing, you have the right to demand that we restrict the processing of your personal data.
  • If the processing of your personal data was/is conducted in an unlawful manner, you have the option to demand the restriction of the processing of your data instead of demanding the eradication of this data.
  • If we do not need your personal data any longer and you need it to exercise, defend or claim legal entitlements, you have the right to demand the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of its eradication.
  • If you have raised an objection pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, your rights and our rights will have to be weighed against each other. As long as it has not been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to demand a restriction of the processing of your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, these data – with the exception of their archiving – may be processed only subject to your consent or to claim, exercise or defend legal entitlements or to protect the rights of other natural persons or legal entities or for important public interest reasons cited by the European Union or a member state of the EU.

SSL and/or TLS encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as purchase orders or inquiries you submit to us as the website operator, this website uses either an SSL or a TLS encryption program. You can recognize an encrypted connection by checking whether the address line of the browser switches from „http://“ to „https://“ and also by the appearance of the lock icon in the browser line.

If the SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Objection to promotional e-mails

We herewith object to the use of contact information published in conjunction with the mandatory information to be provided in our Legal Notice to send us promotional and information material that we have not expressly requested. The operators of this website and its pages reserve the express right to take legal action in the event of the unsolicited sending of promotional information, for instance via SPAM messages.

4. Contact form, e-mail delivery and web analytics

Contact form

If you submit inquiries to us via our contact form, the information provided in the contact form (name, e-mail address, the chosen subject and your message) as well as your IP address will be stored by us for the purpose of handling your inquiry and in the event of follow-up questions. We do not share this information without your consent.

The processing of this data is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if your request is related to the execution of a contract or if it is necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective handling of inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).

The data you enter into the contact form shall remain with us until you ask us to delete the data, revoke your consent to its storage, or the purpose for which the information was stored no longer applies (e.g. after we have concluded our response to your inquiry). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.

Delivery via Brevo

For the technical delivery of the messages sent via the contact form as e-mail, we use the „Brevo“ service. The provider is Sendinblue GmbH, Köpenicker Straße 126, 10179 Berlin, Germany – a subsidiary of Sendinblue SAS, 106 boulevard Haussmann, 75008 Paris, France (hereinafter „Brevo“).

The data provided in the form (name, e-mail address, subject and message) as well as technical transmission data are transmitted to Brevo and processed on their servers within the EU in order to deliver the message to us. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in reliable delivery). We have concluded a data processing agreement (DPA) with Brevo. For more information, please see Brevo’s privacy policy: https://www.brevo.com/legal/privacypolicy/.

Free downloads and e-mail list (Brevo)

On this website you can request free materials (e.g. checklists and calculators, „kits“) by providing your e-mail address. The registration uses the double opt-in process: you will receive a confirmation e-mail and only become subscribed once you click the confirmation link. We store the e-mail address you provide, your language preference, the requested material, and – via Brevo – the time of the confirmation. After confirmation we may occasionally inform you about new materials and articles.

The processing is based on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You can withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future, for example via the unsubscribe link contained in every e-mail. The processing carried out prior to the withdrawal remains lawful. For the management of the list and the dispatch of the e-mails we use Brevo (see above); a data processing agreement (DPA) is in place, and processing takes place on servers within the EU.

Umami (web analytics)

This website uses the web analytics service „Umami“ (provider: Umami Software, Inc.) to statistically evaluate visitor access. Umami is designed for data minimization and operates without cookies and without recognizing individual persons. Only aggregated or anonymized usage data is collected (e.g. pages accessed, approximate origin, browser/device type used). Full IP addresses are not stored; no reference to an identifiable person is established.

The use is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. We have a legitimate interest in the statistical analysis of user behavior in order to optimize our offering. Since Umami does not set cookies and does not access information on the end device within the meaning of § 25 TDDDG, no consent is required. For more information: https://umami.is/privacy.
