Privacy Policy

General

As the operator of this website and as a company, we come into contact with your personal data. This means all data that says something about you and with which you can be identified. In this privacy policy, we would like to explain to you how, for what purpose and on what legal basis we process your data.

The person responsible for data processing on this website and in our company is:

Digital Vital Innovation GmbH
Zollhof 30
40221 Düsseldorf
Telephone: 0231/586878-99
E-mail: datenschutz@divital.care

General Information

SSL or TLS encryption

When you enter your data on websites, place online orders or send emails over the Internet, you must always expect that unauthorized third parties will access your data. There is no complete protection against such access. However, we do everything we can to protect your data as best as possible and to close security gaps as far as we can.

An important protective mechanism is the SSL or TLS encryption of our website, which ensures that data that you send to us cannot be read by third parties. You can recognize the encryption by the lock icon in front of the Internet address entered in your browser and by the fact that our Internet address begins with https:// and not with http://.

How long do we store your data?

In some places in this privacy policy we inform you about how long we or the companies that process your data on our behalf store your data. If such information is missing, we store your data until the purpose of the data processing no longer applies, you object to the data processing or you revoke your consent to the data processing.

In the event of an objection or revocation, however, we may continue to process your data if at least one of the following conditions is met:

We have compelling legitimate reasons for continuing the data processing that outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms (only if you object to the data processing; if the objection is directed against direct advertising, we cannot provide legitimate reasons).

The data processing is necessary to assert, exercise or defend legal claims (does not apply if your objection is directed against direct advertising).

We are legally obliged to retain your data.

In this case, we will delete your data as soon as the requirement(s) no longer apply.

Data transfer to the USA

We also use tools on our website from companies that transmit your data to the USA and store it there and, if necessary, process it further. This is particularly important for you because your data does not enjoy the same protection in the USA as within the EU, where the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) applies. For example, US companies are obliged to release personal data to security authorities without you as the data subject being able to take legal action against this. It is therefore possible that US authorities (e.g. secret services) process, evaluate and permanently store your data on US servers for surveillance purposes. We have no influence on these processing activities.

Data protection officer

We have appointed a data protection officer for our company:

DataGAP GmbH
Bessemerstr. 82
D-12103 Berlin

Telephone: 030 – 577 10 513
E-mail: team@datagap.de

Your rights

Objection to data processing

IF YOU READ IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY THAT WE HAVE LEGITIMATE INTERESTS IN PROCESSING YOUR DATA AND THEREFORE BASE IT ON ART. 6 PARAGRAPH 1 SENTENCE 1 LIT. F) GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT TO THIS ACCORDING TO ART. 21 GDPR. THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING THAT IS CARRIED OUT ON THE BASIS OF THE MENTIONED PROVISION.

THE CONDITION IS THAT YOU PROVIDE REASONS FOR THE OBJECTION THAT ARISE FROM YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION. NO REASONS ARE NECESSARY IF THE OBJECTION IS DIRECTED TO THE USE OF YOUR DATA FOR DIRECT MARKETING.

THE CONSEQUENCE OF THE OBJECTION IS THAT WE ARE NO LONGER PERMITTED TO PROCESS YOUR DATA. THIS ONLY DOES NOT APPLY IF ONE OF THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS APPLIES:

WE CAN PROVE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING THAT OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS.
THE PROCESSING IS FOR THE PURPOSE OF ASSERTING, EXERCISING OR DEFENDING LEGAL CLAIMS.
THE EXCEPTIONS DO NOT APPLY IF YOUR OBJECTION IS DIRECTLY TO DIRECT MARKETING OR TO PROFILING RELATED TO IT.

Further rights
Revocation of your consent to data processing

Many data processing operations are carried out on the basis of your consent. You give this, for example, by ticking the appropriate box on online forms before sending the form or by allowing certain cookies when you visit our website. You can revoke your consent at any time without giving reasons (Art. 7 Para. 3 GDPR). From the time of revocation, we are then no longer permitted to process your data. The only exception: We are legally obliged to store the data for a certain period of time. Such retention periods exist in particular in tax and commercial law.

Right to complain to the competent supervisory authority

If you believe that we are violating the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), you have the right to complain to a supervisory authority under Art. 77 GDPR. You can contact a supervisory authority in the member state of your residence, your place of work or the place where the alleged violation occurred. The right to lodge a complaint exists in addition to administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to data portability

We must hand over data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract to you or a third party in a common machine-readable format if you request this. We can only transfer the data to another responsible party if this is technically possible.

Right to information, deletion and correction of data

According to Art. 15 GDPR, you have the right to receive information free of charge about which personal data we have stored about you, where the data comes from, to whom we transmit the data and for what purpose it is stored. If the data is incorrect, you have a right to rectification (Art. 16 GDPR); under the conditions of Art. 17 GDPR, you can request that we delete the data.

Right to restriction of processing

In certain situations, according to Art. 18 GDPR, you can request that we restrict the processing of your data. The data may then only be processed – apart from storage – as follows:

  • with your consent
  • to assert, exercise or defend legal claims
  • to protect the rights of another natural or legal person
  • for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a member state

The right to restrict processing exists in the following situations:

  • You have disputed the accuracy of your personal data stored by us and we need time to check this.

    In this case, the right exists for the duration of the review.
  • The processing of your personal data is unlawful or was unlawful in the past.
    In this case, the alternative right is to delete the data.
  • We no longer need your personal data, but you need it to exercise, defend or assert legal claims.
    In this case, the alternative right is to delete the data.
  • You have lodged an objection in accordance with Art. 21 Para. 1 GDPR and now your interests and ours must be weighed against each other.
    In this case, the right exists as long as the result of the balancing has not yet been determined. Hosting and Content Delivery Networks (CDN)

External hosting

Our website is located on a server of the following provider of Internet services (hosters):

Western Systems Informationssysteme GmbH
Wiesenstrasse 21
40549 Düsseldorf

Has a contract for order processing been concluded with the hoster?
Yes

How do we process your data?

The hoster stores all data from our website. This also includes all personal data that is collected automatically or through your input. This can include in particular: your IP address, pages accessed, names, contact details and inquiries as well as meta and communication data. When processing data, Western Systems Informationssysteme GmbH adheres to our instructions and only processes the data to the extent that this is necessary to fulfill the service obligation to us.

On what legal basis do we process your data?

As we address potential customers and maintain contact with existing customers via our website, the data processing by our hoster serves to initiate and fulfill the contract and is therefore based on Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b) GDPR. Furthermore, it is our legitimate interest as a company to provide a professional internet offering that meets the necessary requirements for security, speed and efficiency. In this respect, we also process your data on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f) GDPR.

Data collection on this website
Use of cookies

Our website places cookies on your device. These are small text files that are used for different purposes. Some cookies are technically necessary for the website to function at all (necessary cookies). Others are required to be able to carry out certain actions or functions on the site (functional cookies). For example, without cookies it would not be possible to use the advantages of a shopping cart in an online shop. Other cookies are used to analyze user behavior or optimize advertising measures. If we use third-party services on our website, e.g. to process payment transactions, these companies can also leave cookies on your device when you visit the website (so-called third-party cookies).

How do we process your data?

Session cookies are only stored on your device for the duration of a session. As soon as you close the browser, they disappear automatically. Permanent cookies, on the other hand, remain on your device if you do not delete them yourself. This can, for example, lead to your user behavior being analyzed permanently. You can use the settings in your browser to influence how it handles cookies:

  • Do you want to be informed when cookies are set?
  • Do you want to exclude cookies in general or for certain cases?
  • Do you want cookies to be automatically deleted when you close your browser?

If you deactivate or do not allow cookies, the functionality of the website may be restricted.

If we use cookies from other companies or for analysis purposes, we will inform you of this in this privacy policy. We also ask for your consent in this regard when you visit our website.

On what legal basis do we process your data?

We have a legitimate interest in ensuring that our online offerings can be used by visitors without technical problems and that all the functions they require are available to them. Necessary and functional cookies are therefore stored on your device on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. We use all other cookies on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a) GDPR, provided you give us your consent. You can revoke this consent at any time with effect for the future. If you have consented to the placement of necessary and functional cookies when asked for consent, these cookies will also be stored exclusively on the basis of your consent.

Server log files

Server log files log all requests and accesses to our website and record error messages. They also contain personal data, in particular your IP address. However, this is anonymized by the provider after a short time so that we cannot assign the data to you personally. The data is automatically transmitted from your browser to our provider.

How do we process your data?

Our provider stores the server log files in order to be able to track the activities on our website and to identify errors. The files contain the following data:

  • Browser type and version
  • operating system used
  • referrer URL
  • host name of the accessing computer
  • time of the server request
  • IP address (possibly anonymized)

We do not combine this data with other data, but only use it for statistical evaluation and to improve our website.

On what legal basis do we process your data? We have a legitimate interest in ensuring that our website runs error-free. It is also our legitimate interest to obtain an anonymized overview of access to our website. The data processing is therefore lawful in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f) GDPR.

Contact form

You can send us a message using the contact form on this website.

How do we process your data?

We save your message and the information from the form in order to be able to process your request, including follow-up questions. This also applies to the contact details provided. We will not pass the data on to other people without your consent.

In all other cases, it is our legitimate interest to process requests addressed to us effectively. The legal basis for data processing is therefore Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of your data, Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Letter a) of GDPR is the legal basis. In this case, you can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future.

  • Inquiry by email, telephone or fax
  • You can send us a message by email or fax or call us.

Analysis tools and advertising

We use the following tools to analyze the behavior of our website visitors and show them advertising.

WordPress Stats
What is WordPress Stats?

Tool for analyzing user behavior

Who processes your data?

Automattic Inc., 60 29th Street #343, San Francisco, CA 94110-4929, USA

Where can you find more information about data protection at WordPress Statistics?

https://automattic.com/privacy/

On what basis do we transfer your data to the USA?

Based on the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses (https://automattic.com/privacy/)

How do we process your data?

We are always interested in optimizing our website for users and placing advertising in the best possible way. WordPress Stats helps us with this. The tool records how many people visit our website and how they behave, which website they come to our website from, where they are located and which browser and operating system versions they use. WordPress Stats uses cookies, device fingerprinting and other technologies to recognize users. In detail, the following data is stored:

  • Referrer
  • IP address
  • Browser
  • Origin of website visitors (country, city)
Clicks, views and downloads on the website

Storage location is servers in the USA. Your IP address is anonymized after processing and before storage.

On what legal basis do we process your data? As a website operator, we have a legitimate interest in the anonymized analysis of user behavior for the purpose of optimizing our website and the advertising placed there. The data processing is therefore lawful according to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. In the event that you have, for example, consented to the storage of cookies or otherwise consented to data processing by WordPress Stats, Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a) GDPR is the sole legal basis. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future.

Plugins and tools

Google Web Fonts (local hosting)

We use fonts from the US company Google on our website. We have installed the fonts locally, so that there is no connection to Google’s servers when you visit our website.

Further information on Google Web Fonts can be found at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and in Google’s privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de.

Handling of applicant data

If you would like to work for us, we would be happy to accept your application. We treat all personal data submitted as strictly confidential. This also applies to data that we only collect later in the application process.

How do we process your data?

We store all data that we collect as part of the application process and use it to the extent that this is necessary to decide on the establishment of an employment relationship. In addition to contact and communication data and application documents, this also applies to notes that we make during job interviews. We only pass on your data within our company to people who are involved in processing your application.

If your application is successful, we save the data required to carry out the employment relationship in our data processing systems.

If we are currently unable to offer you a suitable position, we will be happy to add your data to our applicant pool with your consent. This means we can contact you if a position that matches your profile becomes available.

How long do we store your data?

If we are unable to make you a job offer, you reject a job offer or withdraw your application, we reserve the right to keep your documents and other application data for up to 6 months after the application process has ended. The reason is that we may need the data for evidential purposes in the event of a legal dispute. After the deadline has expired, we delete the data and destroy the documents. If a legal dispute is actually imminent or is already pending, we delete the data and documents when they are no longer required for evidential purposes.

We delete data in the applicant pool no later than 2 years after consent has been given. If you revoke your consent before this period has expired, we will delete it sooner.

The deletion of your data always assumes that we are not legally obliged to keep it for longer.

On what legal basis do we process your data?

We process your applicant data on the basis of Section 26 of the new BDSG (initiation of an employment relationship) and Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b) GDPR (general contract initiation).

The same applies if your application is successful.

If we cannot make you a job offer, you reject a job offer or withdraw your application, we have a legitimate interest in using your data for evidential purposes in a possible legal dispute. The data processing is therefore based on Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f) GDPR.

If you have expressly consented to the storage of your data, we will process your data on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a) GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future.

This GDPR-compliant privacy policy was created with the intelligent data protection generator of the PRIVE data protection software.
