3. Collection of general data and information when you visit our website

 

Our website records on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f DSGVO a series of general data and information with each call by a data subject or an automated system. These general data and information are temporarily stored in the server's log files. Can be captured

 

  1. the operating system used by the accessing system and its interface,

  2. the browser types used, including language and version of the browser software,

  3. the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrer),

  4. the sub-web pages that are accessed via an accessing system on our website,

  5. the date and time of access to the website (including the time zone difference to Universal Time Coordinated (UTC),

  6. the amount of data transferred,

  7. an internet protocol address (IP address),

  8. the internet service provider of the accessing system

  9. other similar data and information that serve to avert danger in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.

 

When using this general data and information, the DRIVE does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is needed to

 

  1. deliver the content of our website correctly,

  2. to optimize the content of our website and the advertising for it,

  3. to ensure the long-term functionality of our information technology systems and the technology of our website,

  4. To provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for law enforcement in the event of a cyber attack.

 

This anonymously collected data and information is therefore evaluated statistically and also 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 in the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.

4. Provision of the online offer and web hosting

 

In order to be able to provide our online offer safely and efficiently, we use the services of one or more web hosting providers, from whose servers (or servers managed by them) the online offer can be accessed. For these purposes, we can use infrastructure and platform services, computing capacity, storage space and database services as well as security services and technical maintenance services.

The data processed as part of the provision of the hosting offer can include all information relating to the users of our online offer that is generated in the context of use and communication. This regularly includes the IP address that is necessary in order to be able to deliver the content of online offers to browsers, and all entries made within our online offer or from websites.

 

E-mail dispatch and hosting: The web hosting services we use also include the dispatch, receipt and storage of e-mails. For these purposes, the addresses of the recipients and senders as well as other information relating to the sending of e-mails (e.g. the providers involved) and the content of the respective e-mails are processed. The aforementioned data can also be processed for the purpose of recognizing SPAM. Please note that emails on the Internet are generally not sent in encrypted form. As a rule, e-mails are encrypted on the transport route, but (if no so-called end-to-end encryption method is used) not on the servers from which they are sent and received. We cannot therefore assume any responsibility for the transmission path of the e-mails between the sender and receipt on our server.

 

  • Processed data types: content data (e.g. text input, photographs, videos), usage data (e.g. websites visited, interest in content, access times), meta / communication data (e.g. device information, IP addresses), inventory data (e.g. names, addresses), contact data (e.g. email, phone numbers).

  • Affected persons: users (e.g. website visitors, users of online services).

  • Purposes of processing: contractual services and service, range measurement (e.g. access statistics, recognition of returning visitors), tracking (e.g. interest / behavior-related profiling, use of cookies), visit action evaluation, server monitoring and error detection, contact requests and communication, remarketing, profiling (creation of user profiles ), Conversion measurement (measurement of the effectiveness of marketing measures).

    Website: https://de.wix.com
    Data protection declaration: https://de.wix.com/about/privacy .

5. Security Measures

 

In accordance with the legal requirements, taking into account the state of the art, implementation costs, the type, scope, circumstances and purposes of the processing as well as the different probabilities of occurrence and the extent of the threat to the rights and freedoms of natural persons, we take suitable technical and organizational measures to avoid the risk to ensure an appropriate level of protection.

 

The measures include, in particular, securing the confidentiality, integrity and availability of data by controlling physical and electronic access to the data as well as the access, input, transfer, securing of availability and their separation. Furthermore, we have set up procedures that ensure the exercise of data subject rights, the deletion of data and reactions to the threat to the data. Furthermore, we consider the protection of personal data already in the development or selection of hardware, software and procedures in accordance with the principle of data protection through technology design and data protection-friendly default settings.

If it is possible for us or if it is not necessary to save the IP address, we will shorten or have your IP address shortened. If the IP address is shortened, also known as "IP masking", the last octet, i.e. the last two digits of an IP address, is deleted (the IP address in this context is an Internet connection through the online Access provider individually assigned identifier). The shortening of the IP address is intended to prevent or make it much more difficult to identify a person using their IP address.

 

In order to protect your data transmitted when you visit our website, we use TLS or SSL encryption. You can recognize such encrypted connections by the prefix “https: //” or the lock in the address line of your browser.

6. Transmission and disclosure of personal data

 

As part of our processing of personal data, it may happen that the data is transmitted to other bodies, companies, legally independent organizational units or persons, or they are disclosed to them. The recipients of this data can include, for example, payment institutions in the context of payment transactions, service providers commissioned with IT tasks or providers of services and content that are integrated into a website. In such a case, we observe the legal requirements and, in particular, conclude appropriate contracts or agreements with the recipients of your data, which serve to protect your data.

7. Data processing in third countries

 

If we process data in a third country (i.e. outside the European Union (EU), the European Economic Area (EEA)) or if the processing takes place in the context of the use of third-party services or the disclosure or transfer of data to other persons, offices or companies , this is only done in accordance with the legal requirements.

Subject to express consent or contractually or legally required transmission, we process or have the data processed only in third countries with a recognized level of data protection or on the basis of special guarantees, such as contractual obligations through so-called standard protection clauses of the EU Commission, the existence of certifications or binding internal data protection regulations ( Art. 44 to 49 GDPR). You can find more information on this on an information page of the EU Commission at https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/international-dimension-data-protection_de .

 

Note on data transfer to the USA

 

Among other things, we have integrated tools from companies based in the USA on our website. When these tools are active, your personal data can be passed on to the US servers of the respective companies.

For a long time, the basis for the data transfer was an adequacy decision by the EU Commission based on the agreement on the EU-US Privacy Shield, to which many American companies have committed. However, in a judgment of 16 July 2020, the ECJ declared this agreement to be invalid (C-311/18).

 

We would like to point out that the USA is not a safe third country within the meaning of EU data protection law. US companies are obliged to surrender personal data to security authorities without you as the person concerned being able to take legal action against this. It cannot therefore be ruled out that US authorities (e.g. secret services) process, evaluate and permanently store your data on US servers for monitoring purposes. We have no influence on these processing activities.

 

If we use the tools with your express consent, you have the option at any time to withdraw your consent to the processing of your personal data with effect for the future using our consent tool. Further information can be found in the respective chapters.

16. Use of social media plugins or links

 

We currently use the following social media plugins: Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn. We use the so-called two-click solution. This means that when you visit our site, no personal data is initially passed on to the plugin providers. You can identify the provider of the plug-in by the marking on the box above its initial letter or the logo. We give you the opportunity to communicate directly with the provider of the plug-in using the button. Only if you click on the marked field and thereby activate it will the plug-in provider receive the information that you have accessed the corresponding website of our online offer. Further data is also transmitted. In the case of Facebook, according to the provider in Germany, the IP address is anonymized immediately after collection. By activating the plug-in, your personal data will be transmitted to the respective plug-in provider and stored there (in the case of US providers in the USA). Since the plug-in provider collects data in particular using cookies, we recommend that you delete all cookies using the security settings of your browser.

 

We have no influence on the data collected and the data processing procedures, nor are we aware of the full scope of data collection, the purposes of processing or the storage periods. We also have no information on the deletion of the data collected by the plug-in provider.

 

The plug-in provider saves the data collected about you as a user profile and uses this for advertising, market research and / or needs-based design of its website. Such an evaluation takes place in particular (also for users who are not logged in) to display needs-based advertising and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, although you must contact the respective plug-in provider to exercise this. Via the plugins, we offer you the opportunity to interact with social networks and other users, so that we can improve our offer and make it more interesting for you as a user. The legal basis for the use of the plugins is Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. f GDPR.

 

The data is passed on regardless of whether you have an account with the plug-in provider and are logged in there. If you are logged in with the plugin provider, your data collected by us will be assigned directly to your account with the plugin provider. If you press the activated button and z. If, for example, if you link the page, the plug-in provider also stores this information in your user account and shares it publicly with your contacts. We recommend that you log out regularly after using a social network, but especially before activating the button, as this allows you to avoid being assigned to your profile with the plug-in provider.

 

If, alternatively, only links to the services are included, you will be forwarded to our respective page after clicking the link, ie only then will data be transferred to the corresponding service.

 

Further information on the purpose and scope of data collection and its processing by the plug-in provider can be found in the data protection notices of these providers, which are provided below.

Note on data transfer to the USA: The service provider is headquartered in the USA. In a judgment of July 16, 2020, the ECJ declared the agreement on the so-called EU-US Privacy Shield to be invalid (C-311/18).

We would like to point out that the USA is not a safe third country within the meaning of EU data protection law. US companies are obliged to surrender personal data to security authorities without you as the person concerned being able to take legal action against this. It cannot therefore be ruled out that US authorities (e.g. secret services) process, evaluate and permanently store your data on US servers for monitoring purposes. We have no influence on these processing activities.

20. Information on Google services

 

We use various Google services on our website. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. You will find more detailed information on the individual specific services provided by Google in the further course of this data protection notice.

 

By integrating the Google services, Google may collect information (including personal data) and process it. It cannot be ruled out that Google will also transmit the information to a server in a third country.

If you are logged into your Google account, Google can add the processed information to your account and treat it as personal data, depending on your account settings. You can find more information on this at https://www.google.de/policies/privacy/partners .

 

Google explains this:

“We may combine personal data from one service with information and personal data from other Google services. This makes it easier for you to share content with friends and acquaintances, for example. Depending on your account settings, your activities on other websites and in apps may be linked to your personal data in order to improve Google's services and advertising displayed by Google. ”( Https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies /privacy/index.html )

21. Use and application of Google Analytics for web analysis

 

We have integrated the Google Analytics component (with anonymization function) on this website. Google Analytics is a web analysis service. Web analysis is the gathering, collection and evaluation of data on the behavior of visitors to websites. A web analysis service collects, among other things, data on which website a person concerned came to a website (so-called referrer), which sub-pages of the website were accessed or how often and for how long a sub-page was viewed. A web analysis is mainly used to optimize a website and for the cost-benefit analysis of Internet advertising.

 

The operating company of the Google Analytics component is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland.

 

We only use Google Analytics with activated IP anonymization ("anonymize IP"). With this addition, the IP address of your Internet connection is shortened and anonymized by Google if our Internet pages are accessed from a member state of the European Union or from another state party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.

 

The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyze the flow of visitors to our website. Google uses the data and information obtained, among other things, to evaluate the use of our website, to compile online reports for us that show the activities on our website, and to provide other services related to the use of our website.

 

The legal basis for the processing of your data is your consent in accordance with. Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR.

 

Google Analytics places a cookie on your system. By setting the cookie, Google is enabled to analyze the use of our website. Every time one of the individual pages of this website is accessed, which is operated by us and on which a Google Analytics component has been integrated, the Internet browser on your system is automatically prompted by the respective Google Analytics component to provide data for the purpose of online analysis to submit to Google. As part of this technical process, Google gains knowledge of personal data, such as your IP address, which Google uses, among other things, to trace the origin of visitors and clicks and subsequently to enable commission accounting.

 

The cookie is used to store personal information, such as the access time, the location from which access was made and the frequency of your visits to our website. Each time you visit our website, this personal data, including the IP address of your Internet connection, is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. These personal data are stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass this personal data collected through the technical process on to third parties.

 

You can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of a corresponding setting in the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting in the internet browser used would also prevent Google from placing a cookie on your system. In addition, a cookie already set by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time via the Internet browser or other software programs.

 

You also have the option of objecting to the collection of the data generated by Google Analytics relating to the use of this website and the processing of this data by Google and to prevent this. To do this, you need to download and install a browser add-on from the link https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout . This browser add-on informs Google Analytics via JavaScript that no data or information on website visits may be transmitted to Google Analytics. The installation of the browser add-on will be considered an objection by Google. If your system is deleted, formatted or reinstalled at a later date, you must reinstall the browser add-on in order to deactivate Google Analytics. If the browser add-on is uninstalled or deactivated by you or another person who is attributable to your area of ​​control, you have the option of reinstalling or reactivating the browser add-on.

Note on data transfer to the USA: The service provider is based in the USA. In a judgment of July 16, 2020, the ECJ declared the agreement on the so-called EU-US Privacy Shield to be invalid (C-311/18).

We would like to point out that the USA is not a safe third country within the meaning of EU data protection law.

It cannot therefore be ruled out that US authorities (e.g. secret services) process, evaluate and permanently store your data on US servers for monitoring purposes. We have no influence on these processing activities.

23. Legal basis for processing

 

In the following we share the legal basis of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), on the basis of which we process the personal data. Please note that in addition to the regulations of the GDPR, the national data protection requirements in your or our country of residence and domicile may apply.

 

In addition to the data protection regulations of the General Data Protection Regulation, national data protection regulations apply in Germany. This includes in particular the law on the protection against misuse of personal data during data processing (Federal Data Protection Act - BDSG). The BDSG contains in particular special regulations on the right to information, the right to erasure, the right of objection, the processing of special categories of personal data, processing for other purposes and transmission as well as automated decision-making in individual cases including profiling. It also regulates data processing for the purpose of employment (Section 26 BDSG), in particular with regard to the establishment, implementation or termination of employment relationships and the consent of employees. Furthermore, state data protection laws of the individual federal states can be applied.

 

Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR serves our company as the legal basis for processing operations in which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose.

 

If the processing of personal data is necessary to fulfill a contract to which the data subject is party, as is the case, for example, with processing operations that are necessary for the delivery of goods or the provision of other services or consideration, the processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. The same applies to processing operations that are required to carry out pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of inquiries about our products or services.

 

If our company is subject to a legal obligation that requires the processing of personal data, for example to fulfill tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. c GDPR.

 

Ultimately, processing operations can be based on Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Processing operations that are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases are based on this legal basis, if the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the person concerned do not prevail. We are particularly permitted to carry out such processing operations because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this respect, he took the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the person concerned is a customer of the person responsible (recital 47 sentence 2 GDPR).

 

If the processing of personal data is based on Article 6 I lit. f GDPR, our legitimate interest is the efficient conduct of our business activities for the benefit of our employees and our shareholders.

24. Duration of storage of personal data

 

We process and store your personal data only for the period necessary to fulfill the storage purpose or if this has been provided for in laws or regulations. After the purpose no longer exists or the purpose has been fulfilled, your personal data will be deleted or blocked. In the case of blocking, the deletion takes place as soon as there are no legal, statutory or contractual retention periods to the contrary and there is no reason to assume that deletion would affect your interests worthy of protection, and deletion does not cause a disproportionate effort due to the special type of storage.

 

Otherwise, specific criteria for the retention period are listed in the individual sections of this data protection notice.

25. Update / delete your personal information

 

You have the option at any time to check, change or delete the personal data made available to us by sending us an email to

info@drive-consulting.de . In this way you can also exclude the receipt of further information for the future.

 

You also have the right to revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future.

 

The data processed by us will be deleted in accordance with the legal requirements as soon as the consent given for processing is revoked or other permits are no longer applicable (e.g. if the purpose of processing this data is no longer required or is no longer required for the purpose).

 

If the data are not deleted because they are required for other and legally permissible purposes, their processing will be limited to these purposes, ie the data will be blocked and not processed for other purposes. This applies, for example, to data that must be kept for commercial or tax law reasons or whose storage is necessary to assert, exercise or defend legal claims or to protect the rights of another natural or legal person.

26. Legal or contractual provisions for the provision of personal data

 

We explain to you that the provision of personal data is in part required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or may result from contractual regulations (e.g. information on the contractual partner). In order to conclude a contract, it may sometimes be necessary for a data subject to provide us with personal data that we subsequently have to process. For example, the person concerned is obliged to provide us with personal data when our company concludes a contract with them. Failure to provide personal data would mean that the contract with the person concerned could not be concluded.

 

Before the person concerned provides personal data, the person concerned must contact one of our employees. Our employee explains to the person concerned on a case-by-case basis 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 what consequences the failure to provide the personal data would have.

27. Existence of automated decision-making

 

As a responsible company, we do not use automated decision-making.

28. Changes to the data protection notice

 

Changes in the law or changes to our internal processes may make it necessary to adapt this data protection notice. We ask you to inform yourself regularly about the content of our data protection information.
