What are personal data?

The term personal data is defined in the Bundesdatenschutzgesetz (German Federal Data Protection Act) and the GDPR. According to these laws, these are individual details about personal or factual circumstances of a specific or identifiable natural person. This includes, for example, your civil name, your address, your telephone number or your date of birth.


Legal basis for the processing of personal data

In accordance with and for the performance of our contract pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. b) GDPR with you, we process your data:

  • to provide you with the Platform and related services and content;
  • to notify you of changes to our services;
  • to provide you with user support;
  • to enforce our terms, conditions and policies;
  • to administer the Platform, including troubleshooting;
  • to allow you to share and interact with User Content with other users.

In order to provide an effective and dynamic Platform in accordance with our legitimate interests under Art. 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR, we may use your data for the following:

  • to ensure your safety and security, including reviewing user content, messages and related metadata for violations of our Terms of Use;
  • to ensure that content is presented in the most effective way for you and your device;
  • to understand how users use the Platform so that we can improve, promote and develop the Platform.

When we process your data to fulfill our legitimate interests, we conduct a balancing test to determine whether the use of personal data is truly necessary to achieve our business purpose. When we conduct this balancing test, we also consider the privacy rights of our users and take appropriate precautions to protect their personal data.

Unless otherwise stated in the following sections, personal data is generally collected, processed or used when using our platform so that we can meet our quality standards. Within the registration process, the master data of users is therefore initially collected:

  • Salutation
  • First and last name
  • E-mail address

Through the use of the platform, additional personal data is collected in order to ensure the most trustworthy networking of members within the platform. The following data must be taken into account:

  • Profession, department;
  • Aggregated data on usage behavior

We additionally learn about the use of web-based structures certain technical information based on the data transmitted by your browser (for example, browser type/version, operating system used, web pages visited with us including dwell time, previously visited web page). The following data may be collected:

  • Information about the browser type and version used;
  • the user’s operating system;
  • the user’s Internet service provider
  • the IP address of the user;
  • Date and time of access;
  • Websites from which the user’s system accesses our website;
  • Web pages that are accessed by the user’s system via our website.

Use of cookies

The internet pages use cookies. Cookies are data that are stored by the Internet browser on the user’s computer system. The cookies can be transmitted to a page when it is called up and thus enable the user to be assigned to it. Cookies help to simplify the use of Internet pages for the user.

It is possible to object to the setting of cookies at any time by changing the setting in the Internet browser accordingly. Set cookies can be deleted. Please note that if cookies are deactivated, it may not be possible to use all functions of our website to their full extent. The user data collected in this way is pseudonymised by technical precautions. It is therefore no longer possible to assign the data to the calling user. The data is not stored together with other personal data of the users. When accessing our website, users are informed by an info banner about the use of cookies for analysis purposes and are referred to this data protection declaration. In this context, there is also a note on how the storage of cookies can be prevented in the browser settings. The legal basis for the processing of personal data using technically necessary cookies is Art. 6 Paragraph 1 lit. f) GDPR. The legal basis for the processing of personal data using cookies for analysis purposes is Article 6 (1) lit. a) of the GDPR if the user has given his or her consent. For information on whether and to what extent cookies are used on our website, please refer to our cookie banner and our notes in this data protection declaration.


Registration

If you want to use the solutions of rapidmail, you must register beforehand. We store and use your personal data, which you transmit to us in the course of registration or an order process, on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. b) GDPR exclusively for processing your orders. We use your e-mail address for notifications regarding the status of your order or for sending you corresponding receipts. Finally, we collect the following data during this processing:

  • Salutation;
  • First and last name;
  • E-mail address;
  • Profession, department;
  • Aggregated data on usage behavior.

If, after the conclusion of a contract, there is an obligation to provide us with your payment data (e.g. account number in the case of direct debit authorization), this data is required for payment processing. Payment transactions via the common means of payment (Visa/MasterCard, PayPal, direct debit) are made exclusively via an encrypted SSL or TLS connection via our central payment processing service provider Payone GmbH. With encrypted communication, your payment data that you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties. In doing so, we may transmit data to other responsible parties (such as Payone GmbH) whose use as payment service provider is necessary for the secure execution of the payment.

You can invite other users of the Platform to join you on the Platform via our user management. We will use the contact information you have for that person and give you the option to send that person an email or message inviting them to join your profile. When processing personal data that is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Article 6(1)(b) DSGVO serves as the legal basis. Account holders themselves are responsible for the proper configuration of authorizations within the user administration, in particular the viewing of recipient data, in accordance with our GTC.


Create recipient lists and mailings

Within the scope of our existing order processing pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR, you provide rapidmail with personal data about the recipients for your future mailings in accordance with instructions. In this context, you act as the responsible party within the meaning of Art. 4 (7) GDPR and are responsible for the lawfulness of the collection and disclosure of this personal data pursuant to Art. 6 GDPR to rapidmail. Our legal basis is formed against this background by the fulfillment of our obligations under the service agreement, the GTC and our order processing pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. b) GDPR. We would like to point out at this point that you may only use personal data of recipients who have

  • have consented via a secure double opt-in procedure;
  • are in a business relationship with you and have not objected to the purpose of the mailing;
  • have a recorded consent according to Art. 6 (1) lit. a) GDPR in conjunction with Art. Art. 7 GDPR to register for a mailing.

Contact opportunities

On the internet pages there is a contact form which can be used for electronic contact. Alternatively, it is possible to contact us via the provided e-mail address. If the data subject contacts the data controller via one of these channels, the personal data transmitted by the data subject is automatically stored. The storage is solely for the purpose of processing or contacting the data subject. The data will not be passed on to third parties. The legal basis for the processing of the data is Art. 6 Paragraph 1 lit. a) GDPR if the user has given his or her consent. The legal basis for the processing of data transmitted in the course of sending an e-mail is Art. 6 Paragraph 1 letter f) GDPR. If the e-mail contact is aimed at the conclusion of a contract, the additional legal basis for processing is Art. 6 (1) lit. b) GDPR. The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer necessary for the purpose for which it was collected. For personal data from the input mask of the contact form and those sent by e-mail, this is the case when the respective conversation with the user has ended. The conversation is terminated when it can be concluded from the circumstances that the matter in question has been finally clarified. The personal data additionally collected during the sending process will be deleted after a period of seven days at the latest.


Routine deletion and blocking of personal data

The controller shall process and store personal data relating to the data subject only for as long as necessary to achieve the purpose of storage. In addition, data may be stored for as long as this is provided for by the European or national legislator in Union regulations, laws or other provisions to which the controller is subject. As soon as the storage purpose ceases to apply or a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned regulations expires, the personal data is routinely blocked or deleted.

Duration of storage of personal data

Personal data is stored for the duration of the respective legal retention period. After expiry of the period, the data is routinely deleted, unless it is necessary for the initiation or fulfillment of a contract.

If your personal data is processed, you are the data subject within the meaning of the GDPR and you are entitled to the following rights in relation to the person responsible:

Right of access by the data subject acc. to Art. 15 GDPR

You have the right to request information whether your personal data are transferred to a third country or to an international organization. In this context, you may request to be informed of the appropriate guarantees in accordance with Art. 46 GDPR in connection with the transfer.

Right to rectification acc. to Art. 16 GDPR

You have the right to obtain from the data controller the rectification and/or integration of any personal data processed concerning you if it is incorrect or incomplete. The data controller shall make the correction without delay.

Right to erasure acc. to Art. 17 GDPR

(1) You may request the controller to delete your personal data immediately and the controller is obliged to delete such data immediately if one of the following reasons applies:

  1. The personal data concerning you are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.
  2. You revoke your consent on which the processing was based in accordance with Article 6 (1) (a) or Article 9 (2) (a) of the GDPR and there is no other legal basis for the processing.
  3. You object to the processing in accordance with Article 21 (1) GDPR and there are no legitimate reasons for the processing which take precedence, or you object to the processing in accordance with Article 21 (2) GDPR.
  4. The personal data concerning you have been processed unlawfully
  5. The deletion of personal data concerning you is necessary to comply with a legal obligation under Union law or the law of the Member States to which the controller is subject.
  6. The personal data concerning you have been collected in relation to information society services offered, in accordance with Article 8 (1) of the GDPR.

(2) If the controller has made your personal data public and is obliged to delete them in accordance with Article 17 (1) of the GDPR, he shall take reasonable measures, including technical measures, taking into account the available technology and implementation costs, to inform data controllers who process the personal data that you, as a data subject, have requested them to delete all links to these personal data or copies or replications of these personal data.

(3) The right to erasure shall not apply where the processing is necessary

  1. for the exercise of the right to freedom of expression and information;
  2. to comply with a legal obligation to which the processing is subject under Union or national law to which the controller is subject, or to carry out 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 relating to public health pursuant to Art. 9, para. 2 lit. h and i as well as Art. 9 para. 3 GDPR;
  4. for archiving purposes in the public interest, for scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes pursuant to Art. 89 para. 1 GDPR, insofar as the right referred to in para. 1 is likely to render impossible or seriously prejudice the attainment of the objectives of such processing, or
  5. to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.

Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority acc. to Art. 77 GDPR

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, place of employment or place of the alleged infringement, if you consider that the processing of your personal data infringes the GDPR. The supervisory authority to which the complaint has been lodged will inform the complainant of the status and outcome of the complaint, including the possibility of a judicial remedy under Article 77 of the GDPR.

Right to data portability acc. to Art. 20 GDPR

You have the right to receive your personal data, which you have provided to the responsible person, in a structured, common and machine-readable format. In addition, you have the right to transfer this data to another responsible party without hindrance by the responsible party to whom the personal data has been made available, if

  1. the processing is based on consent pursuant to Art. 6 Para. 1 letter a) GDPR or Art. 9 Para. 2 letter a) GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Art. 6 Para. 1 letter b) GDPR and
  2. the processing is carried out using automated procedures. In exercising this right, you also have the right to request that your personal data be transferred directly from one responsible party to another, insofar as this is technically feasible. The freedoms and rights of other persons may not be impaired by this. The right to data transferability shall not apply to the processing of personal data necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.

Right to restriction of processing acc. to Art. 18 GDPR

Under the following conditions, you may request the restriction of the processing of your personal data:

  1. if you dispute the accuracy of your personal data for a period of time that allows the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data;
  2. if the processing is unlawful and you refuse to delete the personal data and instead request the restriction of the use of the personal data;
  3. if the controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but you need them for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims; or
  4. if you have lodged an objection to the processing pursuant to Article 21 (1) of the GDPR and it is not yet clear whether the legitimate reasons of the controller outweigh your reasons.

If the processing of your personal data has been restricted, these data – apart from their storage – may only be processed with your consent or for the purpose of asserting, exercising or defending legal claims or protecting the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of major public interest of the Union or a Member State. If the restriction on processing has been restricted in accordance with the above conditions, you will be informed by the controller before the restriction is lifted.

Notification obligation regarding rectification or erasure of personal data or restriction of processing acc. to Art. 19 GDPR

If you have exercised the right to rectify, erase or limit the processing, the controller is obliged to notify all recipients to whom the personal data concerning you have been disclosed of this rectification, erasure or limitation of processing, unless this proves impossible or involves a disproportionate effort. You have the right to be informed of these recipients by the controller.

Right of objection acc. to Art. 21 GDPR

You have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of your personal data carried out on the basis of Article 6 (1) (e) or (f) GDPR; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. The controller will no longer process your personal data unless it can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims. If your personal data is processed for the purpose of direct marketing, you have the right to object at any time to processing of your personal data for such marketing; this also applies to profiling, insofar as it is related to such direct marketing. If you object to processing for direct marketing purposes, your personal data will no longer be processed for these purposes. You have the possibility, in connection with the use of information society services – notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC – to exercise your right to object by means of automated procedures using technical specifications.

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 similarly significantly affects you. This does not apply if the decision

  1. a. is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between you and the controller,
  2. is permitted by legal provisions of the Union or the Member States to which the controller is subject, and these legal provisions contain appropriate measures to protect your rights and freedoms as well as your legitimate interests, or
  3. is done with your explicit consent.

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

With regard to the cases mentioned in a. and c., the controller shall take reasonable steps to safeguard the rights and freedoms as well as your legitimate interests, which include, at a minimum, the right to obtain the intervention of a person on the part of the controller, to express his or her point of view and to object to the decision.


Data transmission to third countries

The controller may transfer personal data to a third country. In principle, the controller may provide various appropriate safeguards to ensure that an adequate level of protection is provided for the processing operations. It is possible to transfer data transfers on the basis of an adequacy finding, internal data protection rules, approved codes of conduct, standard data protection clauses or an approved certification mechanism pursuant to Art. 46 (2) (a) – (f) GDPR.

If the person responsible undertakes a transfer to a third country on the legal basis of Art. 49 (1) (a) GDPR, you will be informed at this point about the possible risks of a data transfer to a third country.

There is a risk that the third country receiving your personal data may not provide an equivalent level of protection compared to the protection of personal data in the European Union. This may be the case, for example, if the EU Commission has not issued an adequacy decision for the third country in question or if certain agreements between the European Union and the third country in question are declared invalid. Specifically, there are risks in some third countries with regard to the effective protection of EU fundamental rights through the use of monitoring laws (e.g. USA). In such a case, it is the responsibility of the controller and the recipient to assess whether the rights of data subjects in the third country enjoy a level of protection equivalent to that in the Union and can be effectively enforced.

However, the basic data protection regulation should not undermine the level of protection of natural persons ensured throughout the Union when personal data are transferred from the Union to controllers, processors or other recipients in third countries or to international organizations, even if personal data are further transferred from a third country or from an international organization to controllers or processors in the same or another third country or to the same or another international organization.


Cooperation with other processors and third parties

In order to achieve the above-mentioned purposes, we use service providers as processors in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR, for example as IT service providers, for sending e-mails and SMS or for contacting us by telephone. These service providers may be based both within and outside the European Union or the European Economic Area. We ensure through contractual agreements (so-called „order processing agreement“) with the service providers that they process personal data in accordance with the requirements of the GDPR, even if the data processing takes place outside the European Union or the European Economic Area in countries in which an adequate level of data protection is otherwise not guaranteed and for which no adequacy decision of the European Commission exists. For more information about the existence of a European Commission adequacy decision and adequate safeguards, and to obtain a copy of those safeguards, you may contact our Data Protection Officer. In addition, we transfer data to third parties only if there is a legal obligation to do so. In this case, the transfer is based on Art. 6 (1) p. 1 lit. c) GDPR.

In the context of processing on our behalf, a third-party provider provides the services for hosting and displaying the platform for us. This serves to protect our legitimate interests in a correct presentation of our offer, which are overriding in the context of a balancing of interests.

If we process data in a third country (i.e. outside the European Union (EU) or the European Economic Area (EEA)) or if this occurs in the context of the use of third-party services or disclosure, or transfer of data to third parties, this will only occur if it is done to fulfill our (pre-)contractual obligations, on the basis of your consent, due to a legal obligation or on the basis of our legitimate interests. Subject to legal or contractual permissions, we process or allow the processing of data in a third country only if the special requirements of Art. 44 et seq. GDPR are met. I.e. the processing is carried out, for example, on the basis of special guarantees, such as the officially recognized determination of a level of data protection corresponding to the EU or compliance with officially recognized special contractual obligations (so-called „standard contractual clauses“).

CaptchaFox

Description and purpose

This website uses the „CaptchaFox“ service. This service is offered by the provider Scoria Labs GmbH. CaptchaFox is an innovative, data protection-friendly protection solution to make it more difficult for automated programmes and scripts (so-called „bots“) to use this website. In this context, we have integrated a CaptchaFox programme code into our website (e.g. for contact forms) so that the visitor’s end device can establish a connection to the CaptchaFox servers in order to receive a calculation task or similar from CaptchaFox. The visitor’s end device solves the calculation task (puzzle), which requires certain system resources, and sends the calculation result to our web server. This web server contacts the CaptchaFox server via an interface and receives a response as to whether the puzzle was solved correctly by the end device. Depending on the result, we can add security rules to requests via our website and, for example, process or reject them.

CaptchaFox processes and stores the following data in the process described above:

  • Anonymised IP address of the requesting computer.
  • Information about the browser and operating system used.
  • Anonymised counter per IP address to control the cryptographic tasks.
  • Website from which the access took place.
  • The version of the widget.
  • A time stamp.

This data is used exclusively to protect against spam and bots as described above. CaptchaFox does not set or read any cookies on the visitor’s end device. IP addresses are only stored in hashed (one-way encrypted) form and do not allow us or CaptchaFox to draw any conclusions about an individual person.

Legal basis

The legal basis for the processing is our overriding legitimate interest in protecting our website from abusive access by bots, i.e. spam protection and protection against attacks (e.g. mass requests), Art. 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR.

Recipient

The recipient is Scoria Labs GmbH, Agnes-Bernauer-Str. 151, 80687 Munich, Germany.

Transfer to third countries

Data is not transferred to a third country.

Objection

In accordance with Art. 21 (1) GDPR, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data at any time. If you exercise your right, processing for this purpose will no longer take place. Further information on this can be found above in our privacy policy under „Rights of data subjects“.

Duration of data storage

If personal data is collected, it will be deleted after 30 days at the latest.

Contractual and legal obligation

There is no contractual or legal obligation to provide the data.

Webanalytics Matomo

Description and purpose

Our website uses Matomo (formerly Piwik), an open source software for statistical analysis of visitor access. The provider of Matomo is InnoCraft Ltd, 150 Willis St, 6011 Wellington, New Zealand. Matomo uses cookies, which are stored on your computer and which enable an anonymised analysis of your use of the website. A conclusion on a specific person is not possible, because your IP address is anonymized immediately after processing and before saving. Matomo is used for the purpose of improving the quality of our website and its contents. This enables us to find out how the website is used and thus to constantly optimize our offer. If individual pages of our website are called up, the following data are stored: 1. two bytes of the IP address of the calling system of the user 2. the called up website 3. the website from which the user has reached the called up website (referrer) 4. the sub-pages that are called up from the called up website 5. the duration of stay on the website 6. the frequency of calling up the website. The software runs exclusively on the servers of our website. A storage of the personal data of the users takes place only there. The data will not be passed on to third parties. The software is set up in such a way that the IP addresses are not stored completely, but 2 bytes of the IP address are masked. In this way, it is no longer possible to assign the shortened IP address to the calling computer. The processing of the users‘ personal data enables us to analyze the surfing behavior of our users. Depending on the configuration of the use of Matomo, your personal data may therefore be processed.

Legal basis

The legal basis for the processing of your personal data is Art. 6  (1) (a) GDPR.
