Privacy statement

We are very pleased that you are visiting our website. Data protection is particularly important to us. In principle, it is possible to use our Internet pages without providing any personal data. However, if a data subject wishes to make use of special services via our website, it may be necessary to process personal data. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we generally obtain the consent of the person concerned.

The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, e-mail address, or telephone number of a data subject, is always in line with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and in accordance with the applicable country-specific data protection regulations. By means of this privacy policy, we would like to inform you and the public about the nature, scope and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process. Furthermore, data subjects are informed of the rights they are entitled to by means of this privacy policy.

As the body responsible for processing, Peakboard GmbH has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures (TOM) to ensure that personal data processed via this website is protected as completely as possible. However, Internet-based data transmissions can generally have security gaps, meaning that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transfer personal data to us by alternative means, for example by telephone.

Collection of general data and information

Our websites collect a range of general data and information each time the website is accessed by a data subject or an automated system. This general data and information is stored in the server's log files.

For example, the

(1) browser types and versions used,

(2) the operating system used by the accessing system,

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

(4) the sub-websites, which are accessed via an accessing system on our website,

(5) the date and time of access to the website,

(6) an Internet protocol address (IP address),

(7) the Internet service provider of the accessing system and

(8) other similar data and information used to avert threats in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.

When using these general data and information, no conclusions are drawn about the data subject.

Rather, this information is needed to

(1) to correctly deliver and display the content of our website,

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

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

(4) to provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for prosecution in the event of a cyber attack.

This anonymously collected data and information is therefore statistically evaluated by the person responsible on the one hand and also with the aim of increasing our data protection and data security in order to ultimately ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data in the server log files is stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.

Legal basis of processing

Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR serves us 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 a party, as is the case, for example, in processing operations that are necessary for the delivery of goods or the provision of another service or consideration, the processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of inquiries about our products or services. If we are subject to a legal obligation that requires the processing of personal data, such as to fulfill tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c) GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data could be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were injured on our premises and their name, age, health insurance data or other vital information would then have to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. Processing would then be based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. d) GDPR. Ultimately, processing operations could be based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. Processing operations that are not covered by any of the above legal bases are based on this legal basis if processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of us or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights and fundamental freedoms of the data subject do not prevail. We are permitted to carry out such processing operations in particular 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 data subject is a customer of the person responsible (recital 47 sentence 2 GDPR). If the processing of personal data is based on Article 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR, our legitimate interest is to conduct our business for the benefit of all our employees and shareholders.

Duration for which personal data is stored

The criterion for the duration of storage of personal data is the respective legal retention period. After expiry of the period, the corresponding data is routinely deleted, provided that it is no longer required to fulfill or initiate a contract or the deletion is not precluded by any further legal or legal requirements.

Webinar privacy information

As the responsible body, we process your personal data (mandatory information: last name, first name, email address, company) based on your webinar registration.

The purpose of data processing is to offer and conduct webinars and to contact you later for marketing purposes. When offering our webinars, we sometimes work with partner companies (“partners” for short), and the webinars may contain product information and information from our partners. We explicitly identify our respective partners when registering for webinars.

The legal basis for data processing is your consent in accordance with § 25 para. 1 TTDSG and Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR as well as our legitimate interest in offering you free and informative webinars, although the balancing of interests in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR has not resulted in any restriction of your rights and freedoms. If you do not provide the data, you will not be able to participate in the webinars.

If you are interested in our software and hardware solutions as part of the following contact, we will store the data you provide in our customer system (CRM). As a CRM system, we use the Dynamics 365 cloud service from Microsoft. The regulations for online services (OSTs) and the data processing and security regulations in addition to data protection (Data Protection Addendum, DPA; both can be found here: https://www.microsoft.com/licensing/docs), which are defined for Microsoft online services. Please also note the privacy policy (https://privacy.microsoft.com/de-de/privacystatement) and safety instructions (https://www.microsoft.com/de-de/trust-center) from Microsoft.

If we work with a partner for a webinar, depending on the agreement, we may share the information you provided during registration with the respective partner for further contact and marketing purposes. In this case, we conclude a joint responsibility contract with our partners in accordance with Article 26 (1) GDPR.

The data is stored by us and deleted in accordance with our data deletion concept no later than 2 years after the webinar has been carried out, unless there are legal storage requirements. If there is a contractual relationship between you and us after the webinar has been held, we will continue to store your personal data in our customer system (CRM) in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR.

For our webinars, we use the online service “GoTo! “from LogMeIn. For GoTo's data processing! Do the respective terms of use and data protection notices apply (https://www.goto.com/de/company/trust) from the provider.

You have the right to information, to correct, to delete, to restrict processing, a right of objection, a right to data portability, and a right to withdraw consent. In these cases, please contact us in writing via datenschutz@peakboard.com. You will receive a response as soon as we receive it.

Routine deletion and blocking of personal data

We process and store personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the storage purpose or if this has been provided for by the European legislator or another legislator in laws or regulations to which we are subject.

If the storage purpose ceases to apply or if a storage period prescribed by the European legislator of directives and regulations or another competent legislator expires, the personal data will be blocked or deleted routinely and in accordance with legal requirements.

Statutory or contractual requirements for the provision of personal data

We would like to inform you that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or may also result from contractual or pre-contractual regulations (e.g. information about the contractual partner). In order to conclude a contract, it may be necessary for a data subject to provide us with personal data, which must then be processed by us. For example, the data subject is obliged to provide us with personal data when we conclude a contract with them. Failure to provide personal data would mean that the contract with the person concerned could not be concluded. Before personal data is provided by the person concerned, the person concerned must contact one of our employees. Our employee will inform the person concerned on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of 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.

Registration on our website/use of input masks and forms

The data subject has the option to register on the controller's website by providing personal data or to enter personal information in input masks. This may be necessary, for example, to subscribe to a newsletter, to contact us via the contact form, to register for participation in events or other similar registration options. Which personal data is transmitted to the person responsible for processing is determined by the respective input mask that is used for registration. The personal data entered by the data subject is collected and stored exclusively for internal use by the person responsible for processing and for its own purposes. We may arrange for the transfer to one or more contract processors, such as a parcel service provider, who also uses the personal data exclusively for internal use attributable to the controller.

When you contact us (e.g. via contact form), personal data is collected. This data is stored and used exclusively for the purpose of responding to your request and for the associated technical administration. The legal basis for processing the data is our legitimate interest in responding to your request in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. If the purpose of your contact is to conclude a contract, the additional legal basis for processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR. Your data will be deleted after your request has been finally processed; this is the case when it can be inferred that the matter in question has been finally clarified and provided that there are no legal or legal storage obligations preclude deletion.

By registering on the website of the person responsible for processing, the IP address assigned by the data subject's Internet service provider (ISP), the date and time of registration are also stored. This data is stored in view of the fact that this is the only way to prevent misuse of our services and, if necessary, enables this data to solve crimes committed. In this respect, the storage of this data is necessary to secure the person responsible for processing. In principle, this data will not be passed on to third parties unless there is a legal or legal obligation to disclose it or the transfer serves law enforcement purposes.

The registration of the data subject, voluntarily providing personal data, enables the controller to offer the data subject content or services which, due to the nature of the matter, can only be offered to registered users or to those who explicitly request this. These persons are free to change the personal data provided at any time or to have them completely deleted from the data set of the person responsible for processing.

At any time upon request, we will provide any data subject with information about the personal data stored about the data subject. Furthermore, we correct or delete personal data at the request or notice of the person concerned, provided that there are no legal or legal storage obligations to the contrary. All employees of the person responsible for processing are available to the data subject as contact persons in this context.

SSL or TLS encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries that you send to us as the site operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection when the browser's address line changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock icon in your browser line.

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

Encrypted payment transactions on this website

If, after the conclusion of a paid contract, there is an obligation to provide us with your payment details (e.g. account number in case of direct debit authorization), this data is required to process payment.

Payment transactions using common means of payment (Visa/MasterCard, direct debit) are made exclusively via an encrypted SSL or TLS connection. You can recognize an encrypted connection when the browser's address line changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock icon in your browser line.

With encrypted communication, your payment details that you submit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Recipients or categories of recipients

Depending on the purpose for collecting the personal data, we transfer this data, for example, to the following recipients or categories of recipients or are they directly involved in the processing of personal data:

Provider
IT service provider
additional recipients depending on the tools used

Third country transfer

Depending on the purpose of collecting the personal data, a transfer to third countries takes place as follows:

google

Existence of automated decision-making

As a responsible company, we refrain from automatic decision-making or profiling.

Data protection in applications and during the application process

We collect and process the personal data of applicants for the purpose of processing the application process. Processing can also be carried out electronically. This is particularly the case if an applicant submits corresponding application documents electronically, for example by e-mail or via a web form on the website, to the person responsible for processing. If we conclude an employment contract with an applicant, the transmitted data will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in compliance with legal requirements. If the person responsible for processing does not conclude an employment contract with the applicant, the application documents will be automatically deleted no later than six months after notification of the rejection decision, provided that deletion does not conflict with any other legitimate interests under Article 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR of the controller. Other legitimate interest in this sense is, for example, a burden of proof in proceedings under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).

cookies

Our websites use cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored and stored on an information technology system (e.g. computer, notebook, smartphone, tablet) via an Internet browser.

Numerous websites 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 string of characters through which websites and servers can be assigned to the specific Internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This enables the websites and servers visited to distinguish the individual browser of the data subject from other Internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific Internet browser can be recognized and identified via the unique cookie ID.

By using cookies, we can provide 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 for the user. As already mentioned, cookies enable us to recognize users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to use our website. For example, the user of a website that uses cookies does not have to check the cookie banner every time they visit and make a selection here or, for example, re-enter their login data on the website, because this is taken over by the website and the cookie stored on the user's computer system. Another example is the cookie from a shopping cart in an online shop. This allows the online shop to remember the items that a customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart using a cookie.

The data subject can prevent cookies from being set by our website at any time by means of an appropriate setting of the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. In addition, cookies that have already been set can be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all common Internet browsers. If the data subject deactivates the setting of cookies in the Internet browser used, not all functions of our website may be fully usable.

When you download Peakboard Designer for free testing

Our software, the “Peakboard Designer”, is available for download on our website so that you can test our product and see for yourself its intuitive user friendliness and comprehensive solution orientation. The download is free of charge, but is subject to our terms and conditions. This means that we provide the “Peakboard Designer” for free download, but this is contractually linked (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR) to the receipt of product-related information emails that make it easier to get started with our software. You will also benefit from informative emails highlighting the benefits of our product, including references and useful information; you can unsubscribe from these email notifications at any time (based on our legitimate interest under Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR). We only process personal data for as long as is necessary. As soon as the purpose of data processing has been fulfilled, blocking and deletion will take place in accordance with the standards of the local deletion concept, unless legal regulations prevent deletion.

Consent consent tool

In order to be able to obtain the aforementioned cookies and your consent for them and also for any third-party connections (see section below), we use a cookie consent tool, which is also known as the “cookie banner” or (applicable) “consent banner”.

Deployment and use of other applications, plug-ins and tools

As you know from our entire range of products: We want to offer you the best possible service. We have therefore integrated various applications, plug-ins and tools (in future: “tools”) on our website. Depending on the function, these can, for example, optimize the loading times of our website, simplify use, help us improve our offering or increase security.

Under this button, you can make adjustments to the consent controlled via the consent tool: takes

The specific information on the tools used is explained below.

Data protection regulations about the application and use of Google Analytics 4

We have integrated the analysis tracking tool Google Analytics 4 from Google Inc. The operating company of Google Analytics is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA. For Europe, the company Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street Dublin 4, Ireland, is responsible for all Google services, although the supervisory authorities have identified a joint responsibility between the two Google companies.

Google Analytics is a data traffic analysis or web analysis service. This describes the collection, collection and evaluation of data (so-called “signals” or “signals”) about the behavior of visitors to websites. Google signals are session data from websites and apps that Google links to users who are logged into their Google account and have activated personalized advertising. By linking data to these logged-in users, cross-device reports, cross-device remarketing, and exporting cross-device conversions to Google Ads are possible.

If you have consented, Google may be able to determine how you interact in different browsers and on different devices. For example, Google and we could see how you search for products on our website, for example on a smartphone, and return later to complete purchases on a tablet or laptop.

After consent has been given, these actions can also be stored in cookies and/or sent to Google servers in the USA and processed there. Based on this, we receive reports from Google, which we can use to optimize our offer.

If you already have a Google account, it is also possible that Google will link this data together. However, Google itself does not share any data collected by Google Analytics unless required by law.

We would like to point out that, in the opinion of the European Court of Justice (ECJ), there is currently no adequate level of protection for data transfer to the USA and that there are therefore various risks associated with the lawfulness and security of data processing of your data as well.

Purposes of processing

The purpose of Google Analytics tools is to analyze visitor flows and user behavior on our website.

Privacy policy on the deployment and use of Google Tag Manager

We have integrated the Google Tag Managers code organization tool from Google Inc. The operating company of Google Tag Manager is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA. For Europe, the company Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street Dublin 4, Ireland, is responsible for all Google services, although the supervisory authorities have identified a joint responsibility between the two Google companies.

“Tags” are short sections of code. For example, they can record (track) your activities on our website. By integrating Google Tag Manager, we can centrally implement and manage these tags used on our website from various tracking tools. These do not have to be tags from Google itself, but can also be tags from other companies that can be integrated via the Tag Manager. This makes the range of usage options very extensive, which, for example, allows cookies to be set, user and browser data to be collected, or buttons can be integrated. However, the Tag Manager itself does not set cookies or collect data, as this simply acts as a manager of the implemented tags.

Google reserves the right to collect anonymized data about our use of the Tag Manager, which does not transfer any data that is managed by the tool as part of its regular functions.

As a precaution, we would like to point out that, in the opinion of the European Court of Justice (ECJ), there is currently no adequate level of protection for data transfer to the USA and that there are therefore various risks associated with the lawfulness and security of the processing of your data as well.

Purposes of processing

The purpose of Google Tag Manager is to technically and economically optimize our offering and to ward off any damage to our company. To do this, we have to implement and control various source code into the core of our website, which can be very complex and prone to errors. Google Tag Manager helps us here, as it greatly simplifies and centralizes this process and largely avoids errors.

legal basis

To use the tool, we require your consent, which is the legal basis in accordance with § 25 para. 1 TTDSG and Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) (consent). We obtain this consent through our consent tool described above and document this as well.

We also have a legitimate interest in technically and economically optimising our offer and to avert any damage to our company and in doing so rely on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) (legitimate interest). With the help of the tool, we may also identify website errors, identify attacks and improve profitability.
