III. General information on data processing

1. Scope of the processing of personal data

We generally process personal data of our users only to the extent that is necessary to provide a functional website with our contents and services. The personal data of our users is processed regularly only with the prior consent of the user. An exception is made in those cases where prior consent cannot be obtained for factual reasons and processing of the data is permitted by statutory provisions.

2. Legal basis for the processing of personal data

In cases where we obtain the consent of the data subject for the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis.

Where processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures.

If processing of personal data is necessary to comply with a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR serves as the legal basis.

In cases where the processing of personal data is necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. d GDPR serves as the legal basis.

If the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or of a third party and if the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not override this legitimate interest, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing.

3. Erasure of data and duration of storage

The personal data of the data subject will be erased or blocked as soon as the purpose of the storage ceases to apply. The data may be stored beyond this period if this has been stipulated by European or national legislators in EU regulations, laws or other provisions applicable to the controller. The data will also be blocked or erased on expiry of a storage period prescribed by the above-mentioned standards, unless there is a need for further storage of the data in order to conclude or perform a contract.

These purposes also constitute our legitimate interest in processing the data pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The interest of the users in protecting their personal data is taken into account adequately by making the IP address anonymous.

You have the right to request information about whether personal data concerning you is transferred to a third country or to an international organisation. In this context, you may request to be informed about the appropriate safeguards in accordance with Art. 46 GDPR relating to the transfer.

2. Right to rectification

You have the right to ask the controller to rectify and/or complete the data if the processed personal data concerning you is inaccurate or incomplete. The controller shall carry out such rectification without undue delay.

3. Right to restriction of processing

You may request that the processing of personal data concerning you be restricted if the following conditions apply:

(2) the processing is unlawful and you oppose the erasure of the personal data and request the restriction of its use instead;
(3) the controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but you need it for the purpose of establishing, exercising or defending legal claims, or
(4) if you have objected to the processing in accordance with Art. 21 para. 1 of the GDPR and it has not yet been established whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override your grounds.

Where the processing of personal data concerning you has been restricted, such data shall – with the exception of storage – only be processed with your consent or for the purpose of establishing, exercising or defending legal claims or for protecting the rights of another natural person or legal entity or on grounds of an important public interest of the Union or of a Member State.

If restriction of processing has been obtained pursuant to the above-mentioned conditions, you shall be informed by the controller before the restriction of processing is lifted.

4. Right to erasure

a) Obligation to erase

You can request the controller to erase personal data concerning you without undue delay and the controller is obliged to erase such data without undue delay if one of the following reasons exists:

(1) The personal data concerning you is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed.
(2) You revoke your consent on which the processing pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a of the GDPR was based, and there is no other legal basis for the processing.
(3) You object to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 para. 1 of the GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for processing, or you object to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 para. 2 of the GDPR.
(4) Personal data concerning you has been processed unlawfully.
(5) The personal data concerning you has to be erased for compliance with a legal obligation under Union law or the law of the Member States to which the controller is subject.

b) Information to third parties

Where the controller has made personal data concerning you public and is obliged to erase it pursuant to Art. 17 para. 1 of the GDPR, the controller, taking account of available technology and the cost of implementation, shall take reasonable steps, including technical measures, to inform controllers who are processing the personal data that the data subject has requested the erasure by such controllers of any links to, or copy or replication of, this personal data.

c) Exceptions

The right to erasure does not exist if the processing is necessary

(1) for exercising the right to freedom of expression and information;
(2) for compliance with a legal obligation due to which processing is required under Union law or under the law of the Member State to which the controller is subject or in order to perform a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller;
(3) for reasons of public interest in the field of public health pursuant to Art. 9 para. 2 lit. h and i and Art. 9 para. 3 of the GDPR;
(4) for archiving purposes related to public interest, for scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes pursuant to Art. 89 para. 1 of the GDPR, in so far as the right referred to in paragraph a) is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the achievement of the objectives of such processing, or
(5) for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

5. Right to notification

If you have asserted the right to rectification, erasure or restriction of processing vis-à-vis the controller, the controller is obliged to notify all recipients, to whom the personal data concerning you has been disclosed, of this rectification or erasure of the data or restriction of processing, unless this proves impossible or involves disproportionate effort.

You have the right to be notified about these recipients by the controller.

6. Right to data portability

You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you, which you have provided to the controller, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. Moreover, you have the right to transmit this data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to whom the personal data had been made available, provided that

(1) the processing is based on consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a of the GDPR or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a of the GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b of the GDPR and
(2) the processing is carried out by automated means.

In exercising this right, you also have the right to have the personal data concerning you transmitted directly from one controller to another, as far as this is technically feasible. Such transmission must not impair the freedoms and rights of other persons.

The right to data portability shall not apply to processing of personal data which is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.

7. Right to object

You have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning you which is carried out pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. e or f of the GDPR. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions.

The controller shall no longer process personal data concerning you, unless he can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or unless the processing is required to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.

If the personal data concerning you is processed for direct advertising purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for the purpose of such advertising. This also applies to profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct advertising.

If you object to processing for direct advertising purposes, the personal data concerning you will no longer be processed for these purposes.

In the context of the use of information society services – notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC – you have the option of exercising your right to object by automated means using technical specifications.

8. Right to revoke the declaration of consent under data protection law

You have the right to revoke your declaration of consent under data protection law at any time. Revocation of consent shall not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out on the basis of consent until such consent was revoked.

9. Automated decision in individual cases, including profiling

You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing – including profiling – which produces legal effects concerning you or affects you significantly in a similar manner. This shall not apply if the decision

(1) is necessary for entering into or for the performance of a contract between you and the controller,
(2) is authorised by statutory provisions of the Union or the Member States to which the controller is subject and these statutory provisions specify appropriate measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests, or
(3) is based on your explicit consent.

However, these decisions shall not be based on special categories of personal data pursuant to Art. 9 para. 1 of the GDPR, unless Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a or g of the GDPR applies and appropriate measures have been taken to protect rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests.

In the cases referred to in (1) and (3), the controller shall implement suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests, which shall include at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, right to express a personal point of view and the right to contest the decision.

10. Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority

Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular, in the Member State of your residence, your place of work or place of the alleged infringement, if you believe that the processing of personal data concerning you violates the GDPR.

The supervisory authority with which the complaint has been lodged shall inform the complainant of the progress and outcome of the complaint, including the possibility of a judicial remedy pursuant to Art. 78 GDPR.

YouTube is used to help make our online offers more appealing. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f of the GDPR.

For more information on how we handle user data, please refer to YouTube's Privacy Policy at: www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy.

Google AdWords and Google Conversion tracking

This website uses Google AdWords. AdWords is an online advertising program of Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, United States ("Google").

We use so-called conversion tracking within the context of Google AdWords. When you click on an advertisement displayed by Google, a cookie is set for conversion tracking. Cookies are small text files that the Internet browser stores on the user's computer. These cookies lose their validity after 30 days and are not used for personal identification of the user. If the user visits specific pages of this website and the cookie has not expired, Google and we can detect that the user has clicked on the advertisement and was redirected to this website.

Every Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. The cookies cannot be tracked via the websites of AdWords customers. The information collected using the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers receive information about the total number of users who clicked on their advertisement and were redirected to a website containing a conversion tracking tag. However, customers will not receive information that can be used to identify users personally. If you do not wish to participate in tracking, you can opt out easily by disabling the Google conversion tracking cookie via your web browser under User Preferences. You will then not be included in the conversion tracking statistics.

The storage of "conversion cookies" is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f of the GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the analysis of user behaviour in order to optimise his website as well as his advertising.

More information about Google AdWords and Google Conversion Tracking can be found in Google's Privacy Policy: www.google.de/policies/privacy/.

You can change your browser settings so that you are notified about cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, accept cookies for specific cases or generally exclude them as well as enable the automatic deleting of cookies when you close the browser. The functionality of this website may be restricted if cookies are disabled.

Facebook Pixel

This website uses the visitor action pixel of Facebook, Facebook Inc, 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA ("Facebook") to measure conversion.

This allows the behaviour of site visitors to be tracked after they have been redirected to the provider's website by clicking on a Facebook advertisement. As a result, the effectiveness of Facebook advertisements can be evaluated for statistical and market research purposes and future advertising measures can be optimised.

For us as the operator of this website, the collected data is anonymous and we cannot draw any conclusions about the identity of the users. However, the data is stored and processed by Facebook and hence a connection to the respective user profile is possible. Facebook can use the data for its own advertising purposes in accordance with the Facebook Data Usage Policy. This enables Facebook to display advertisements on Facebook pages and outside of Facebook. We, as the website operator, have no influence over such use of the data.

You will find further information on the protection of your privacy in Facebook's Data Policy: www.facebook.com/about/privacy/.

You can also disable the "Custom Audiences" remarketing feature in the Advertising Settings section at www.facebook.com/ads/preferences/. You must be logged in to Facebook to do this.

If you do not have a Facebook account, you can disable Facebook's usage-based advertising at the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance website: https://www.youronlinechoices.com.

 

Newsletter

Newsletter data

If you would like to subscribe to the newsletter offered on the website and our technical information via the CAD helpdesk, we require your e-mail address as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the e-mail address that has been provided and that you agree to receive the newsletter. Further data will not be collected or will only be collected on a voluntary basis. We use this data exclusively for sending the requested information and do not pass it on to third parties.

The data entered in the registration form for the newsletter and technical information will be processed exclusively on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a of the GDPR). You can, at any time, revoke the consent given by you for the storage of data, e-mail address and its use for sending the newsletter. The revocation will not affect the lawfulness of the data processing operations that have already been carried out.

The data provided by you for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter will be stored by us until you are removed from the subscriber list of the newsletter and deleted after you unsubscribe from the newsletter. Data that has been stored by us for other purposes (e.g. e-mail addresses for the member area) remains unaffected by this.

Dispatch service provider

The newsletter is sent by the mailing service provider HubSpot, Inc, 25 First Street, 2nd Floor, Cambridge, MA 02141 USA. You can view the privacy policy of the mailing service provider here: https://legal.hubspot.com/privacy-policy. The mailing service provider is used on the basis of our legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR and an order processing contract pursuant to Art. 28 para. 3 sentence 1 GDPR. 

The email addresses of our newsletter recipients, as well as their other data described in this notice, are stored on the servers of the mailing service provider. The mailing service provider uses this information to send and evaluate the newsletter on our behalf. Furthermore, the mailing service provider may, according to its own information, use this data to optimize or improve its own services, e.g. for the technical optimization of the mailing and the presentation of the newsletter or for economic purposes in order to determine from which countries the recipients come. However, the mailing service provider does not use the data of our newsletter recipients to write to them itself or pass it on to third parties.

The newsletters contain a so-called “web-beacon”, i.e. a pixel-sized file that is retrieved from our server when the newsletter is opened or, if we use a mailing service provider, from their server. As part of this retrieval, technical information, such as information about the browser and your system, as well as your IP address and time of retrieval, is initially collected. This information is used for the technical improvement of the services based on the technical data or the target groups and their reading behavior based on their retrieval locations (which can be determined with the help of the IP address) or the access times. The statistical surveys also include determining whether the newsletters are opened, when they are opened and which links are clicked. For technical reasons, this information can be assigned to individual newsletter recipients. However, it is neither our intention nor, if used, that of the mailing service provider to observe individual users. The evaluations serve us much more to recognize the reading habits of our users and to adapt our content to them or to send different content according to the interests of our users.

The data processing takes place on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You can revoke this consent at any time by unsubscribing from the newsletter. The legality of the data processing operations that have already taken place remains unaffected by the revocation.

The data provided by you for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter will be stored by us until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and deleted from both our servers and HubSpot's servers after you unsubscribe from the newsletter. Data stored by us for other purposes remains unaffected by this.

Product recommendations by e-mail

As a customer of Smap3D Plant Design GmbH, you will regularly receive product recommendations from us and, if applicable, from our sister companies Solid System Team GmbH and CAD Partner GmbH by e-mail. You will receive these product recommendations from us regardless of whether you have subscribed to a newsletter. In this way, we want to provide you with information about products, services and updates from our range of software and services. In doing so, we adhere strictly to the legal requirements. If you no longer wish to receive product recommendations or advertising messages from us, you can object to this at any time. To do this, you will find a link to your “Preference Center” in every e-mail. There, in addition to newsletters, you can also select and deselect product information or unsubscribe from all advertising information that we send you by e-mail.

 

Use of HubSpot CRM

We use the HubSpot Inc. subscription service to collect and manage data and generate leads. This also includes forms, blogs and landing pages for data collection from the HubSpot internet service. The operator of this service, content and services is HubSpot, Inc. located at 25 First Street, 2nd Floor, Cambridge, MA 02141. For example, when you use forms on our website, information about the use of this website and your IP address as well as the data you voluntarily provide will be transmitted to a HubSpot server in the USA and also stored on this server. The contractual partner is used on the basis of our legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR and an order processing contract pursuant to Art. 28 para. 3 sentence 1 GDPR. By using our website, you declare your consent to the described collection and processing of information by HubSpot, Inc. You can find out more about the data protection provisions and terms of use for HubSpot, Inc. here: https://legal.hubspot.com/privacy-policy

You can object to this at any time, either in full or for specific measures. A message in text form to the contact details given below (e.g. e-mail, fax, letter) is sufficient for this.

The data stored by Hubspot will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required for its intended purpose and the deletion does not conflict with any statutory retention obligations.

 

Vimeo

We integrate the videos of the platform “Vimeo” of the provider Vimeo Inc, Attention: Legal Department, 555 West 18th Street New York, New York 10011, USA. Privacy policy: https://vimeo.com/privacy.

 

Google reCAPTCHA

We use the Google reCaptcha service to determine whether a person or a computer makes a certain entry in our contact or newsletter form. Google uses the following data to check whether you are a person or a computer: IP address of the device used, the website that you visit with us and on which the captcha is integrated, the date and duration of the visit, the identification data of the device used Browser and operating system type, Google account if you are logged in to Google, mouse movements on the reCaptcha areas and tasks for which you have to identify images. The legal basis for the data processing described is Article 6 (1) (f) of the General Data Protection Regulation. There is a legitimate interest on our part in this data processing, to ensure the security of our website and to protect us from automated input (attacks).

 

Integration of third party services and content

Third party content, such as YouTube videos, RSS feeds or graphics from other websites may be integrated in our online offer. These providers have access to the IP addresses of the users since the content cannot be displayed without such access. We strive to use only the contents of providers who use the IP address solely for the delivery of the content. However, we have no influence on whether the third-party providers use and store the IP address, e.g. for statistical purposes. We will endeavour to provide clarification if we become aware of this.


Changes to our Privacy Policy

We reserve the right to modify this Privacy Policy from time to time so that it always meets current legal requirements or in order to implement changes to our services in the Privacy Policy, such as during the introduction of new services. The new Privacy Policy will then apply for your next visit.
