Cookies

We use session cookies on our website to make it easier for you to use our web pages. These are small text files that are stored on your hard drive for the duration of your visit to our website and, depending on the settings of your browser programme, are deleted again when you close your browser. You can switch off or disable the storage of cookies in your browser settings. Session cookies are automatically deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies survive the closing of the browser.

Server log files

The website provider automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:

• Browser type and browser version
• Operating system used
   
• Referrer URL
• Host name of the accessing computer
• Time of the server request
• IP address

This data is not merged with other data sources.

This data is recorded on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in ensuring that the website is displayed without technical errors and that it is optimised – to do this, the server log files must be recorded.
 

Enquiries by email, telephone or fax

If you contact us by email, telephone or fax, your enquiry, including all resulting personal data (name, enquiry) will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of processing your request. We will not pass on this data without your consent.
 

This data is processed on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR if your request is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of the requests addressed to us (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DS-GVO) or on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DS-GVO), provided that this has been requested.
 

The data you send to us via contact requests will remain with us until you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to store it, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g. after we have completed processing your request). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular statutory retention periods – remain unaffected.

Registration form for events
 

If you register for an event using the registration form, the information you provide in the registration form, including the contact details you provide there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing your registration and in the event of any queries. We will not pass on this data without your consent. This data is processed on the basis of Art. 6 (1) point a GDPR, provided that your registration is for a free event. If you register for a chargeable event, the data processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 (1) point b GDPR for the fulfilment of the contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures.

You can revoke your consent at any time. The consequence of a revocation is that we will immediately delete your data and will no longer include you in the list of participants in the free event; therefore, no place can be guaranteed for the event.
 

The data you entered in the registration form will remain with us until you ask us to delete it, revoke your consent to store your data or until the purpose for storing your data no longer applies (e.g. after the event has ended). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.
 

Inxmail

This website uses Inxmail to send newsletters and to send information and invitations to events (hereinafter collectively referred to as newsletter subscription). The provider is Inxmail GmbH, Wetzinger Straße 17, 79106 Freiburg (hereinafter Inxmail).
 

Inxmail is a targeted email marketing service that can be used to organise and analyse the sending of newsletters, among other things. The data you enter to subscribe to the newsletter is processed on Inxmail's servers.

You can find Inxmail's privacy policy at: https://www.inxmail.de/datenschutz..

Legal basis
 

Data processing is based on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You can revoke this consent at any time for the future.

Storage duration
 

The data you provide us with for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter will be stored by us or the newsletter service provider until you unsubscribe from the mailing list and will be deleted from the mailing list or after the newsletter has been cancelled. We reserve the right to delete or block e-mail addresses from our mailing list at our own discretion within the scope of our legitimate interest in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. Data stored by us for other purposes remain unaffected.
 

After you have been removed from the distribution list, your email address may be stored by us or the newsletter service provider in a blacklist if this is necessary to prevent future mailings. The data from the blacklist is used only for this purpose and is not merged with other data. This serves both your interest and our interest in complying with the legal requirements when sending newsletters (legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR). The storage in the blacklist is not limited in time. You can object to the storage if your interests outweigh our legitimate interest.

Contract data processing
 

We have concluded a contract for order processing (AVV) for the use of the above-mentioned service. This is a contract prescribed by data protection law that ensures that the personal data of our website visitors is only processed in accordance with our instructions and in compliance with the DS-GVO.

Zoom
 

We use the ‘Zoom’ tool to conduct telephone conferences, online meetings, video conferences and/or webinars (hereinafter: ‘online meetings’). ‘Zoom’ is a service provided by Zoom Video Communications, Inc., which is based in the United States.

Controller
 

The controller for data processing directly related to conducting online meetings is @-yet GmbH.

Note: Insofar as you access the Zoom website, the Zoom provider is the controller for data processing. However, accessing the website is only necessary for using Zoom in order to download the software for using Zoom.
 

You can also use Zoom by entering the relevant meeting ID and any other access data for the meeting directly into the Zoom app.

If you do not want to or cannot use the Zoom app, the basic functions can also be used via a browser version, which you can also find on the Zoom website.

What data is processed?
 

Various types of data are processed when using ‘Zoom’. The scope of the data also depends on the information you provide before or during an ‘online meeting’.

The following personal data is subject to processing:
 

• User information: first name, last name, telephone (optional), email address, password (if ‘single sign-on’ is not used), profile picture (optional), department (optional)
• Meeting metadata: topic, description (optional), participant IP addresses, device/hardware information
   
• For recordings (optional): MP4 file of all video, audio and presentation recordings, M4A file of all audio recordings, text file of the online meeting chat.
• When dialling in by phone: Information on incoming and outgoing phone number, country name, start and end time. Further connection data, such as the IP address of the device, may be stored.
   
• Text, audio and video data: You may have the option of using the chat, question or survey functions in an ‘online meeting’. In this respect, the text entries you make will be processed in order to display them in the ‘online meeting’ and, if necessary, to log them. To enable the display of video and the playback of audio, the data from the microphone of your end device and from any video camera on the end device will be processed for the duration of the meeting. You can switch off the camera or mute the microphone yourself at any time using the Zoom applications.
   

To participate in an ‘online meeting’ or to enter the ‘meeting room’, you must at least provide your name.

Scope of processing

We use ‘Zoom’ to conduct ‘online meetings’. If we want to record ‘online meetings’, we will transparently notify you in advance and, if necessary, ask for your consent. The fact that the meeting is being recorded is also displayed in the Zoom app. If it is necessary for the purposes of recording the results of an online meeting, we will log the chat content. However, this will not usually be the case. In the case of webinars, we may also process the questions asked by webinar participants for the purposes of recording and following up on webinars. If you are registered as a user with Zoom, reports on online meetings (meeting metadata, data on telephone dial-in, questions and answers in webinars, survey function in webinars) can be stored by Zoom for up to 12 months. Automated decision-making as defined in Art. 22 GDPR is not used.
 

Legal basis for data processing

Insofar as personal data of @-yet GmbH employees is processed, Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b) GDPR is the legal basis for data processing. If personal data is not required for the establishment, execution or termination of the employment relationship in connection with the use of ‘Zoom’, but is nevertheless an elementary component of the use of ‘Zoom’, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR is the legal basis for data processing. In these cases, we are interested in the effective implementation of ‘online meetings’. Otherwise, the legal basis for data processing when conducting ‘online meetings’ is Art. 6 (1) point b GDPR, insofar as the meetings are conducted within the framework of contractual relationships. If there is no contractual relationship, the legal basis is Art. 6 (1) point f GDPR. Here, too, our interest lies in the effective conduct of ‘online meetings’.
 

Recipients / Disclosure of data

Personal data processed in connection with participation in ‘online meetings’ will not be passed on to third parties, unless they are specifically intended for disclosure. Please note that content from ‘online meetings’, as with in-person meetings, is often used to communicate information with customers, prospects or third parties and is therefore intended for disclosure.

Other recipients
 

The provider of ‘Zoom’ necessarily obtains knowledge of the above-mentioned data to the extent provided for in our data processing agreement with ‘Zoom’.

Data processing outside the European Union
 

‘Zoom’ is a service provided by a provider in the United States. This means that personal data is also processed in a third country. We have concluded a data processing agreement with the provider of “Zoom” that meets the requirements of Art. 28 GDPR. An adequate level of data protection is guaranteed, on the one hand, by the conclusion of the so-called EU standard contractual clauses. Furthermore, the provider of Zoom is certified according to the so-called EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (DPF). As a supplementary protective measure, we have also configured Zoom in such a way that only data centres in the EU, the EEA or secure third countries such as Canada or Japan are used to hold ‘online meetings’.

Whistleblower reporting office
 

In order to fulfil legal requirements (e.g. the Whistleblower Protection Act), @-yet maintains an internal reporting system for the detection and prevention of violations of applicable law and company guidelines. This reporting system is available to employees within the meaning of § 3 para. 8 of the Whistleblower Protection Act and to customers, suppliers and business partners within the meaning of § 1 para. 1 of the Whistleblower Protection Act. Such reports can be submitted online using the web-based application. The so-called ‘Whistleblower Reporting Office’ is designed as an internal reporting office within the meaning of Section 14 HinSchG. The reporting office can generally be used anonymously. Should personal data arise in the course of your report, it will be treated in strict confidence and processed on the basis of Art. 6 (1) point c GDPR.
 

Furthermore, the whistleblower system is not intended for complaints. If you have any questions or suggestions of a different nature, please contact info@at-yet.de.

We ask you to use the whistleblower system responsibly.

LinkedIn

This privacy policy applies to the following social media presence

• https://de.linkedin.com/company/at-yet

Data processing through social networks

We maintain publicly available profiles in social networks. The individual social networks we use can be found below.

Social networks such as Linkedin etc. can generally analyze your user behavior comprehensively if you visit their website or a website with integrated social media content (e.g., like buttons or banner ads). When you visit our social media pages, numerous data protection-relevant processing operations are triggered. In detail:

If you are logged in to your social media account and visit our social media page, the operator of the social media portal can assign this visit to your user account. Under certain circumstances, your personal data may also be recorded if you are not logged in or do not have an account with the respective social media portal. In this case, this data is collected, for example, via cookies stored on your device or by recording your IP address.

Using the data collected in this way, the operators of the social media portals can create user profiles in which their preferences and interests are stored. This way you can see interest-based advertising inside and outside of your social media presence. If you have an account with the social network, interest-based advertising can be displayed on any device you are logged in to or have logged in to.

Please also note that we cannot retrace all processing operations on the social media portals. Depending on the provider, additional processing operations may therefore be carried out by the operators of the social media portals. Details can be found in the terms of use and privacy policy of the respective social media portals.

Legal basis

Our social media appearances should ensure the widest possible presence on the Internet. This is a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. The analysis processes initiated by the social networks may be based on divergent legal bases to be specified by the operators of the social networks (e.g., consent within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR).

Responsibility and assertion of rights

If you visit one of our social media sites (e.g., Linkedin), we, together with the operator of the social media platform, are responsible for the data processing operations triggered during this visit. You can in principle protect your rights (information, correction, deletion, limitation of processing, data portability and complaint) vis-à-vis us as well as vis-à-vis the operator of the respective social media portal (e.g., Linkedin).

Please note that despite the shared responsibility with the social media portal operators, we do not have full influence on the data processing operations of the social media portals. Our options are determined by the company policy of the respective provider.

Storage time

The data collected directly from us via the social media presence will be deleted from our systems as soon as you ask us to delete it, you revoke your consent to the storage or the purpose for the data storage lapses. Stored cookies remain on your device until you delete them. Mandatory statutory provisions - in particular, retention periods - remain unaffected.

We have no control over the storage duration of your data that are stored by the social network operators for their own purposes. For details, please contact the social network operators directly (e.g., in their privacy policy, see below).

Your rights

You have the right to receive information about the origin, recipient and purpose of your stored personal data at any time and free of charge. You also have the right to object, the right to data portability and the right to file a complaint with the responsible regulatory agency. Furthermore, you can request the correction, blocking, deletion and, under certain circumstances, the restriction of the processing of your personal data.

This website uses the open-source web analytics service Matomo (formerly Piwik).

With the help of Matomo, we are able to collect and analyze data about how our website is used by visitors. This allows us to determine, among other things, when which page views occurred and from which region they originate. Additionally, we collect various log files (e.g., anonymized IP addresses, referrers, browsers, and operating systems used) and can measure whether our website visitors perform certain actions (e.g., clicks, form submissions, etc.).

The use of this analysis tool is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior to optimize both its web offering and its advertising. If a corresponding consent was requested, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TDDDG, insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information on the user’s end device (e.g., device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TDDDG. Consent can be revoked at any time.

IP Anonymization

When analyzing with Matomo, we use IP anonymization. This means your IP address is shortened before analysis so that it can no longer be clearly assigned to you.

Cookie-less Analysis

We have configured Matomo so that Matomo does not store cookies in your browser.

Pseudonymization

Matomo typically stores user visits under a user ID. We have configured Matomo so that this user ID is replaced by a randomly generated pseudonym before it appears in the reports.

Hosting

We host Matomo exclusively on our own servers. All analytics data remains with us and is not shared with third parties.
