Data protection comprises the protection of personal data. This includes any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (who is called a data subject). This includes, e.g., information like the name, address, telephone number, or e-mail address, as well as any information that needs to be collected during the use of the Compensation Portal, for example, specifications concerning the beginning, ending, and extent of the use.

With the following information, we would like to provide you with an overview of the purposes, nature, and extent of the processing of your personal data as well as the corresponding legal basis on which we base the processing of your data.

3.1 Accessing and Using the Compensation Portal

When the Compensation Portal is accessed and used, the following data will be processed:

– Date and time of access
– IP address of the service provider
– Port number
– Command method
– URI Star and URI Query
– Protocol status
– Win32 status
– Time stamps
– Browser type/version
– Which type of operating system was used

We process such data in order to make the Compensation Portal available to be used by you as well as to ensure technical availability and safety, but also for the purpose of fault diagnosis and troubleshooting.

We base the processing of such data on the legal basis of Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR as well as paragraph 14 Section 1. The data processing is necessary to protect our legitimate interest in enabling our clients and prospective clients to use the Compensation Portal and to ensure its technical functionality.

When you access the Compensation Portal, such data will be processed automatically. Without the provision of such data, you cannot use our services.

We usually delete such data after the end of the calendar year, unless we need it for the purposes mentioned above in exceptional cases. In such cases, we will delete the data immediately after the purpose has expired.

3.2 Contact form

When you contact us via our contact form, the data you provide will be stored by us to answer your questions or to be available for follow-up questions.

The data entered in the contact form will be processed exclusively on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 letter a) GDPR). A withdrawal of your given consent is possible at any time. An informal notification by e-mail is sufficient for the withdrawal. The legality of the data processing operations carried out prior to the withdrawal remains unaffected by the withdrawal. We will store data transmitted via the contact form until you request us to delete it or until there is no longer any need to store the data and there are no compelling legal provisions to prevent deletion.

3.3 Newsletter

With your consent you can subscribe to our newsletter. We use the so-called double opt-in procedure to subscribe to our newsletter. This means that after your registration we will send you an e-mail to the specified e-mail address in which we ask you to confirm that you wish to receive the newsletter. If you do not confirm your registration within 30 days, your information will be blocked and then automatically deleted. In addition, we store your IP addresses and the time stamps of registration and confirmation.

After your confirmation, we will store your personal data for the purpose of designing the content and sending the newsletter. The legal basis is Art. 6 paragraph 1 letter a) GDPR.

You can withdraw your consent to the transmission of the newsletter at any time and unsubscribe from the newsletter. You can revoke your consent by clicking on the link provided in each newsletter e-mail or by sending a message to the contact details given in the imprint.

We will delete your personal data at your own request by unsubscribing from the newsletter or within 2 years after the newsletter has been discontinued if no other clear declaration of intent has been made by then.
