Thank you for your interest in our company. Data protection is of particularly high importance for the management of DEVDEER GmbH. In principle, the websites of DEVDEER GmbH can be used without providing any personal data. However, if a data subject wishes to use special services of our company via our website, the processing of personal data may become necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we generally obtain the consent of the data subject. The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, email address or telephone number of a data subject, is always carried out in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation and in compliance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to DEVDEER GmbH. By means of this privacy policy, our company would like to inform the public about the type, scope and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process. Furthermore, data subjects are informed of their rights by means of this privacy policy. As the controller, DEVDEER GmbH has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection possible for the personal data processed through this website. Nevertheless, internet-based data transmissions may in principle have security gaps, so absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transmit personal data to us by alternative means, for example by telephone.
The privacy policy of DEVDEER GmbH is based on the terms used by the European legislator when adopting the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our privacy policy should be easy to read and understand for the public as well as for our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to explain the terminology used in advance.
Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter “data subject”). An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.
Data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data are processed by the controller responsible for the processing.
Processing means any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organization, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.
Restriction of processing means the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting their processing in the future.
Profiling means any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyze or predict aspects concerning that natural person’s performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, location or movements.
Pseudonymization means the processing of personal data in such a manner that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organizational measures to ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.
Controller within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation, other data protection laws applicable in the Member States of the European Union and other provisions related to data protection is: DEVDEER GmbH Herderstraße 31 39108 Magdeburg Phone: +49 (0) 391 – 55 68 00 5 0 Email: hello@devdeer.com Website: http://devdeer.com Due to its size, DEVDEER GmbH is not required to appoint a data protection officer.
It may happen that content from third parties is integrated within this online offering, such as videos from YouTube, maps from Google Maps, RSS feeds or graphics from other websites. This always presupposes that the providers of this content (hereinafter referred to as “third-party providers”) perceive the IP address of the users. Without the IP address, they could not send the content to the users’ browser. The IP address is therefore required to display this content. We endeavor to use only content whose respective providers use the IP address solely for the delivery of the content. However, we have no influence if the third-party providers store the IP address, e.g., for statistical purposes. Where this is known to us, we inform users accordingly.
Your personal data will not be transferred to third parties for purposes other than those listed below. We only disclose your personal data to third parties if: - you have given your express consent (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR), - the disclosure is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding legitimate interest in not having your data disclosed, - there is a legal obligation for disclosure pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. c GDPR, and - it is legally permissible and necessary for the performance of a contract with you pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR. This includes in particular disclosure to opposing parties and their representatives (especially lawyers) as well as to courts and other public authorities for the purpose of correspondence and for the assertion and defense of your rights. The data disclosed may only be used by the third party for the stated purposes.
When you access our website https://devdeer.com, information is automatically sent by the browser used on your device to our website’s server. This information is temporarily stored in a so-called log file. The following information is collected without your intervention and stored until automated deletion: - IP address of the requesting computer, - date and time of access, - name and URL of the retrieved file, - website from which access is made (referrer URL), - the browser used and, if applicable, the operating system of your computer as well as the name of your access provider. The data mentioned are processed by us for the following purposes: - ensuring a smooth connection to the website, - ensuring a comfortable use of our website, - evaluation of system security and stability, and - for further administrative purposes. The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest follows from the purposes listed above for data collection. Under no circumstances do we use the collected data for the purpose of drawing conclusions about your person.
The website of DEVDEER GmbH collects a series of general data and information with each call-up of the website by a data subject or an automated system. This general data and information are stored in the server log files. Collected may be: (1) the browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrers), (4) the sub-websites which are accessed on our website via an accessing system, (5) the date and time of access to the website, (6) an internet protocol address (IP address), (7) the internet service provider of the accessing system, and (8) any other similar data and information that may be used in the event of attacks on our information technology systems. When using these general data and information, DEVDEER GmbH does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is needed to: (1) deliver the content of our website correctly, (2) optimize the content of our website as well as the advertising for it, (3) ensure the long-term viability of our information technology systems and website technology, and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for prosecution in the event of a cyber-attack. Therefore, DEVDEER GmbH analyzes anonymously collected data and information statistically, with the aim of increasing the data protection and data security of our enterprise and ensuring an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.
The controller processes and stores personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage, or insofar as this is provided for by the European legislator or another legislator in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject. If the storage purpose ceases to apply, or if a storage period prescribed by the European legislator or another competent legislator expires, the personal data are routinely blocked or erased in accordance with the legal provisions.
Every data subject has the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller confirmation as to whether or not personal data concerning him or her are being processed. If a data subject wishes to exercise this right to confirmation, he or she may contact an employee of DEVDEER GmbH at any time.
Every data subject has the right granted by the European legislator to obtain at any time, free of charge, information about the personal data stored about him or her and a copy of this information. Furthermore, the European legislator has granted the data subject access to the following information: the purposes of the processing; the categories of personal data concerned; the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data have been or will be disclosed; where possible, the envisaged period for which the personal data will be stored, or, if not possible, the criteria used to determine that period; the existence of the right to request rectification or erasure of personal data or restriction of processing by the controller, or to object to such processing; the existence of the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.
Every data subject has the right granted by the European legislator to obtain without undue delay the rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning him or her. Taking into account the purposes of the processing, the data subject has the right to have incomplete personal data completed, including by means of a supplementary statement.
Every data subject has the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller the erasure of personal data concerning him or her without undue delay where one of the following grounds applies and insofar as processing is not necessary: the personal data are no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed; the data subject withdraws consent on which the processing is based and there is no other legal ground for the processing.
Every data subject has the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller restriction of processing where one of the following applies: the accuracy of the personal data is contested by the data subject; the processing is unlawful and the data subject opposes the erasure of the personal data and requests the restriction of their use instead; the controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but they are required by the data subject for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.
Every data subject has the right granted by the European legislator to receive the personal data concerning him or her, which he or she has provided to a controller, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format.
Every data subject has the right granted by the European legislator to object, on grounds relating to his or her particular situation, at any time to processing of personal data concerning him or her which is based on Article 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR.
Every data subject has the right granted by the European legislator to withdraw consent to processing of personal data at any time.
The controller has integrated the component Google Analytics (with anonymization function) on this website. Google Analytics is a web analytics service. Web analytics is the collection, gathering and evaluation of data on the behavior of visitors to websites. A web analytics service collects, among other things, data about the website from which a data subject came to a website (so-called referrer), which subpages of the website were accessed or how often and for what duration a subpage was viewed. Web analytics is mainly used for optimizing a website and for cost-benefit analysis of internet advertising. The operator of the Google Analytics component is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA. For web analytics via Google Analytics, the controller uses the addition “_gat._anonymizeIp”. By means of this add-on, the IP address of the internet connection of the data subject is shortened and anonymized by Google when access to our website takes place from a Member State of the European Union or another contracting state to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyze visitor flows on our website. Google uses the collected data and information, inter alia, to evaluate the use of our website, to compile online reports for us which show the activities on our websites, and to provide other services related to the use of our website. Google Analytics sets a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. With the setting of the cookie, Google is enabled to analyze the use of our website. By each call-up to one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the controller and on which a Google Analytics component was integrated, the internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective Google Analytics component to submit data for the purpose of online analysis to Google. In the course of this technical procedure Google gains knowledge of personal data, such as the IP address of the data subject, which serves Google, inter alia, to understand the origin of visitors and clicks and subsequently to enable commission settlements. The data subject may, at any time, prevent the setting of cookies by our website through a corresponding setting of the internet browser used and may thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. Furthermore, a cookie already set by Google Analytics may be deleted at any time via the internet browser or other software programs. In addition, the data subject has the possibility of objecting to a collection of data generated by Google Analytics relating to the use of this website as well as to the processing of this data by Google and to prevent such. For this purpose, the data subject must download and install a browser add-on under the link https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. This browser add-on tells Google Analytics via JavaScript that no data and information about visits to websites may be transmitted to Google Analytics. Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of Google may be retrieved at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/ and at http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html. Google Analytics is further explained under this link https://www.google.com/intl/de_de/analytics/.
The controller has integrated Google AdWords on this website. Google AdWords is a service for internet advertising that allows advertisers to place ads both in Google’s search engine results and in the Google advertising network. Google AdWords enables an advertiser to predefine certain keywords by means of which an ad in Google’s search results will be displayed only when a user retrieves a keyword-relevant search result using the search engine. In the Google advertising network, the ads are distributed to topic-relevant websites by means of an automated algorithm and under consideration of the previously defined keywords. The operator of the Google AdWords services is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA. The purpose of Google AdWords is to promote our website by displaying interest-relevant advertising on third-party websites and in Google’s search engine results and by displaying third-party advertising on our website. If a data subject reaches our website via a Google ad, a so-called conversion cookie is placed on the data subject’s information technology system by Google. A conversion cookie loses its validity after thirty days and is not used to identify the data subject. Through the conversion cookie, it is tracked whether certain subpages—for example, the shopping cart of an online shop system—on our website were accessed. The conversion cookie enables both us and Google to track whether a data subject who reached our website via an AdWords ad generated revenue, i.e., completed or canceled a purchase. The data and information collected through the use of the conversion cookie are used by Google to create visit statistics for our website. These visit statistics are used by us to determine the total number of users conveyed to us via AdWords ads, i.e., to determine the success or failure of the respective AdWords ad and to optimize our AdWords ads for the future. Neither our company nor other Google AdWords advertisers receive information from Google by which the data subject could be identified. By means of the conversion cookie, personal information—such as the websites visited by the data subject—is stored. Upon each visit to our web pages, personal data, including the IP address of the internet connection used by the data subject, are therefore transmitted to Google in the United States of America and stored there. Google may pass these personal data collected through the technical process on to third parties. The data subject may, at any time, prevent the setting of cookies by our website through a corresponding setting of the internet browser used and may thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. Furthermore, a cookie already set by Google AdWords may be deleted at any time via the internet browser or other software programs. In addition, the data subject has the possibility of objecting to interest-based advertising by Google. For this purpose, the data subject must call up the link www.google.de/settings/ads from each internet browser used and then make the desired settings there. Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of Google may be retrieved at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/.
Our pages use functions of Google +1. The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. The plugins can be recognized, for example, by buttons with the “+1” symbol on a white or colored background. An overview of Google plugins and their appearance can be found here: https://developers.google.com/+/plugins. If you have activated the respective field next to the Google + button, allow plugins in your browser, and have not installed a script blocker, your browser may transmit personal data to Google. When logged in, data can be directly associated with your Google+ profile. The purpose and scope of data collection and the further processing and use of data by Google as well as your rights in this regard and setting options for protecting your privacy can be found in Google’s privacy notices: https://shorturl.at/hpMT4 Using the Google +1 button, you can publish information worldwide. If you are logged into Google+, Google can directly assign the visit to our website to your Google+ profile. For example, if you press the +1 button, the corresponding information is also transmitted directly to a Google server and stored there. The information is also published on Google+ and displayed to your contacts there. If you do not want Google to be able to associate your visit to our pages with your Google account, please log out of your Google user account and block the execution of scripts in your browser. To prevent script execution altogether, you can, for example, install a script blocker.
Article 6(1)(a) GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party—as is the case, for example, with processing operations necessary for the supply of goods or the provision of any other service—processing is based on Article 6(1)(b) GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of inquiries about our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation by which processing of personal data is required, such as for the fulfillment of tax obligations, processing is based on Article 6(1)(c) GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were injured in our company and his or her name, age, health insurance data or other vital information had to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third parties. Then processing would be based on Article 6(1)(d) GDPR. Ultimately, processing operations could be based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. This legal basis is used for processing operations which are not covered by any of the abovementioned legal grounds, if processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or by a third party, unless such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject. Such processing operations are particularly permitted because they were specifically mentioned by the European legislator.
Where the processing of personal data is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, our legitimate interest is the conduct of our business activities for the benefit of the well-being of all our employees and our shareholders.
We inform you that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g., tax regulations) or may also result from contractual provisions (e.g., information about the contractual partner). It may sometimes be necessary for the conclusion of a contract that a data subject provides us with personal data which must subsequently be processed by us. The data subject is, for example, obliged to provide us with personal data if our company concludes a contract with him or her. Failure to provide the personal data would mean that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded.
