Data may be transferred to third countries within the context of the administration, development and operation of IT systems and only to the extent that a) the transfer is generally permitted and b) the particular requirements for a transfer to third countries are satisfied, in particular the data importer shall guarantee an appropriate level of data protection according to the EU standard contractual clauses for the transfer of personal data to processors established in third countries. The basis for this are the provisions of the GDPR and the German Federal Data Protection Act. Data may also be transferred when you use our web pages.

A processing of data takes place when using the service of Intercom to conduct product tours, to send messages and to provide information via the chat system.

Personal data is processed in order to enable you to use our website, to fulfil a contract with you as a customer or partner, and also to establish a contact or application relationship. The purposes of data processing and its necessity are primarily based on the purposes specifically defined by the aforementioned legal relationships.

In the context of a contract with you as a customer or partner, this includes in particular the establishment, development and fulfilment of such a contract, including elements relating to consultation and billing, in addition to the services ordered by you.

It may also be necessary for us to disclose your data to group companies or external service providers as part of order processing for the aforementioned purposes.

2.2. Processing in the balancing of interests (Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR)

To the extent necessary for our purposes, we process your data beyond the actual fulfilment of the pre-contract or contract in order to safeguard our legitimate interests or those of third parties, provided that your interests do not outweigh the prevention of such processing:

Anonymisation of IP addresses when using our website for statistical purposes, data security and website optimisation
Use of technically necessary cookies (essential) to ensure optimal functionality of the website and guarantee a user-friendly and effective website
Potential measures for the data security of our website such as, in particular, saving IP addresses, assuming that the specific threat situation makes this appropriate
Establishment and fulfilment of contact relationships to the extent required

Collection of outstanding debts; here we cooperate with reliable partners
Holding our webinars to the extent required

2.3. Processing in the context of your consent (Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR)

If you give us your consent to the processing of personal data for a specific purpose in accordance with the existing requirements (e.g. Receipt of a newsletter, use of Google Analytics, Google Ads, Microsoft Advertising und Microsoft Clarity to record user behavior, inclusion of the applicant in our talent pool, Meta Lead Ads for direct advertising measures, Meta Pixel to record the effectiveness of Facebook ads, use of LinkedIn Insight Tag to create reports on the website target group and ad performance), we will process this data within the scope of the consent. You can withdraw your consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

2.4. Processing due to legal requirements (Article 6 (1) (c) GDPR)

We will process your personal data insofar as we are subject to a statutory obligation, for example:

Statutory retention requirements or disclosure or supervisory obligations vis-à-vis public institutions within the legal framework
For the purpose of obtaining consent to data processing activities (e.g. with the consent management tool CookieFirst) and documentation matters

3. Data transmission to third parties

Within our company, your data can be accessed by people who are involved in its processing, to the extent necessary or appropriate. Service providers and vicarious agents used by us, for example, service providers in the area of IT services, telecommunications and logistics, can also receive access to the personal data for these purposes if they observe our written data protection instructions as well as general data secrecy as part of order processing and – to the extent applicable – the secrecy of telecommunications.

We cooperate with third parties for the purpose of collecting outstanding debts.

In particular, we do not share personal data with third parties for purposes of advertising or address trading.

When using our website, data will be transmitted to analysis services. If you send us your ideas via our weclapp Product Portal, your data will be transmitted to Productboard. If you use our product tours, if we send you a message via Intercom or if we provide you with information via the chat system, some data will be transmitted to Intercom.

4. Data transmission to third countries or international organisations

Data transmission to countries outside the EU or EEA (“third countries) will only take place if this is deemed necessary for the purpose of executing the contractual relationship. With respect to other contractual relationships, for example, a contact relationship or an application, such data transmission will only take place for the purpose of fulfilling this contractual relationship or where this is deemed appropriate based on a legitimate interest in exceptional cases. The same applies to the use of our web pages from locations outside the EU or EEA.

When using our website, data is transmitted to analysis services. If you send us your ideas via our weclapp Product Portal your data will be transmitted to Productboard.

5. Length of data storage

We store your IP address and usage data for the duration of your visit whenever you access our web pages. Furthermore, the IP address is stored to the extent appropriate for data security and information or preventing security or data protection breaches, whereby appropriateness is determined by the specific threat situation. In this case, the IP addresses are only stored for as long as is deemed appropriate for the aforementioned purposes, and generally speaking for a period not exceeding three months. In the event of a criminal charge or prosecution, or the enforcement of claims against individuals who have committed security or data protection breaches, the data can be stored and used until the matter is finally resolved or the claims are enforced.

We store the data for the purpose of establishing, developing and fulfilling a contract with you as a customer or partner. The data is deleted once it is no longer required. The data can be stored for the period in which claims against us can be asserted. If we are legally required to retain data, for example, because of tax or commercial obligations, we will store the data for the respective period (up to 10 years). If you as a payer raise an objection within the period prescribed, the data will be stored until the objections or collection of unpaid amounts have been resolved.

As part of a contact relationship, contact details and communications data are stored and used to the extent deemed necessary for the respective communication purpose or as deemed appropriate.

If you want to watch a webinar, your email address will be stored provided that this is required for the purposes of the webinar.

As part of an application relationship, contact details and application data are stored and used to the extent deemed necessary for the respective application purpose or as deemed appropriate. If the application is unsuccessful, the data will be deleted following communication of this decision, unless there are other legitimate interests on the part of the controller preventing this. Other legitimate interests in this context may include, for example, a burden of proof in proceedings in accordance with the General Act on Equal Treatment (AGG).

If you as an applicant grant us your consent to be included in the talent pool, your data will be stored until you revoke your consent or we delete your profile.

If you subscribe to our newsletter, we will store and use your data until you unsubscribe from the newsletter or we decide to cancel the newsletter. Your consent and the dispatch history will continue to be stored until any potential injunctive claims on your side become time-barred. However, we will no longer use the data to continue sending newsletters.

6. Collection of outstanding debts

Where, in the context of safeguarding our legitimate interests, the collection of outstanding debts is required from the contractual relationship or in some other way – and to the extent that these do not outweigh the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject that require the protection of personal data – we will assign legal persons the task of collecting the debts. The data required for the collection will be communicated to the assigned legal person. The legal basis is Article 6 (1) (b) and Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

When you click an ad delivered by Google, a cookie for conversion tracking is stored on your computer. These cookies have a limited period of validity, do not contain any personal data and are therefore not used for personal identification. If you visit certain pages on our website and the cookie has not yet expired, we and Google will be able to recognise that you have clicked the ad and proceeded to that page. Every Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. This means that there is no way that cookies can be tracked through the websites of Google Ads customers.
The information obtained using the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics. This allows us to see the total number of users that have clicked one of our ads and proceeded to a page featuring a conversion tracking tag. However, we do not receive any information that can be used to personally identify users. Your data may be transmitted to the USA. You can disable personalised advertising in the advertising settings for Google. Instructions are available at https://support.google.com/ads/answer/2662922?hl=en.

If processing takes place for other purposes, you have the right to object for reasons relating to your particular situation.

If you file an objection, we will no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for its processing, which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject or such processing is used for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

However, this does not apply in the case of processing for purposes of direct marketing. If you object to data processing for purposes of direct marketing, we will no longer process your personal data for these purposes.

You can revoke consent issued to us previously for the processing of personal data at any time. This also applies to the revocation of declarations of consent that were issued to us before the EU General Data Protection Regulation came into force, i.e. prior to 25 May 2018. Please note that such revocation only applies to the future. Processing that takes place prior to consent being issued is not affected by such.

Please contact our data protection officer if you have any questions concerning the processing of your personal data or your aforementioned rights.
