Privacy Policy

We place great importance on the transparent handling of personal data. This Privacy Policy explains what personal data we collect, for what purposes, and to whom we may share it. To ensure high transparency, this Privacy Policy is regularly reviewed and updated.

1. General Principles

1.1 What Data Do We Collect from You, and Where Do We Receive This Data?

Primarily, we process personal data that you provide to us or that we collect during the operation of our website. In some cases, we may also receive personal data about you from third parties. This data may include:

  • Personal identification details (e.g., name, address, etc.)
  • Contact details (e.g., mobile number, email address, etc.)
  • Online identifiers (e.g., cookie IDs, IP addresses)
  • Location and traffic data
  • Audio and visual recordings
  • Sensitive data

1.2 Under What Conditions Do We Process Your Data?

We process your data confidentially and in accordance with the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy. We strive for transparency and proportionality in processing.

If we are unable to follow these principles in exceptional cases, the processing may still be lawful because a legitimate justification exists. These justifications may include:

  • Your consent
  • The performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures
  • Our legitimate interests, provided that your interests do not outweigh them.

1.3 How Can You Withdraw Your Consent?

If you have given us consent to process your personal data for specific purposes, we will process your data within the scope of this consent, unless we have another legal basis.

You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time by sending an email to the address listed in the imprint. Previous data processing activities are not affected by the withdrawal.

1.4 When May We Share Your Data with Third Parties?

a. General Principle

We may need to use third-party services or affiliated companies to process your data (so-called processors). Categories of recipients include:

  • Accounting, auditing, and trustee companies
  • Consulting firms (e.g., legal, tax)
  • IT service providers (e.g., web hosting, support, cloud services, web design)
  • Payment service providers
  • Providers of tracking, conversion, and advertising services

We ensure that these third parties and affiliated companies comply with data protection regulations and treat your personal data confidentially.

In some cases, we may also be required to disclose your personal data to authorities.

b. Visiting Our Social Media Channels

We may have embedded links to our social media channels on our website. This is usually indicated by corresponding icons. If you click on the icons, you will be redirected to our social media channels.

The social media providers will be informed that you accessed their platform from our website. These providers may use the data collected for their own purposes. Please note that we have no knowledge of the content of the transmitted data or how the operators use it.

c. Data Transfer Abroad

In some cases, as part of the processing, your personal data may be transferred to companies abroad. These companies are required to adhere to data protection standards similar to our own. Transfers may take place worldwide.

1.5 How Long Do We Retain Your Data?

We store personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected.

Data stored during your visit to our website will be kept for twelve months. An exception applies to analytics and tracking data, which may be stored longer.

We retain contract data for longer periods as required by law. Specifically, we must retain business communication, contracts, and booking receipts for up to 10 years. If we no longer need such data to provide services, it will be blocked, and we will only use it for accounting and tax purposes.

1.6 How Do We Protect Your Data?

We will store your data securely and take all reasonable measures to protect it from loss, unauthorized access, misuse, or alteration.

Our contractors and employees with access to your data are required to comply with data protection regulations. In some cases, it will be necessary for us to forward your inquiries to affiliated companies. Even in such cases, your data will be treated confidentially.

On our website, we use the SSL (Secure Socket Layer) protocol in combination with the highest level of encryption supported by your browser.

1.7 What Rights Do You Have?

a. Right to Information

You may request information about the personal data we store about you at any time. Please send your request along with proof of identity to us.

You also have the right to receive your data in a common file format if we process your data automatically, and if:

  • You have given consent for the processing of this data, or
  • You have provided data in connection with the conclusion or performance of a contract.

We may limit or deny the information request if it conflicts with our legal obligations, legitimate interests, or the interests of a third party.

The processing of your request is subject to a statutory processing period of 30 days. However, this period may be extended due to high request volume, legal or technical reasons, or if we need further details from you. You will be informed in writing about any extension.

b. Deletion and Correction

You may request the deletion or correction of your data at any time. We may reject the request if legal provisions require us to retain the data for a longer period or if a legitimate basis opposes your request.

Please note that exercising your rights may conflict with contractual agreements and may have an impact on the execution of the contract (e.g., early termination or cost implications).

1.8 Changes to the Privacy Policy

We may modify this Privacy Policy at any time. The changes will be published on https://dmcsystems.tech, and you will not be separately informed about them.

2. Specific Data Processing Activities

2.1 Provision of the Website and Creation of Log Files

What information do we receive and how do we use it?

When you visit https://dmcsystems.tech, certain data is automatically stored on our servers or servers of services and products we use or have installed for system administration, statistical, backup, or tracking purposes. This data includes:

  • The name of your internet service provider
  • Your IP address (possibly)
  • Your browser software version
  • The operating system of the device used to access the URL
  • Date and time of access
  • The website from which you visit the URL
  • The search terms you used to find the URL

 

Why do we process this data?

This data cannot be attributed to specific individuals, and no combination with other data sources takes place. The storage of log files is necessary to ensure the functionality of the website and to secure our IT systems. This constitutes our legitimate interest.

How can you prevent data collection?

The data is stored only as long as necessary to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. Consequently, the data is deleted after each session. The storage of log files is essential for the website’s operation, and therefore you cannot object to it.

2.2 Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service from Google LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; “Google”). Google Analytics uses “cookies,” text files stored on your computer that analyze your use of the website.

The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website is generally transferred to and stored on a Google server in the USA. If IP anonymization is enabled on this website, Google will truncate your IP address within EU member states or other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be sent to a Google server in the USA and truncated there.

On behalf of the website operator, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activities, and provide other services related to website and internet usage.

The IP address transmitted by your browser in the context of Google Analytics will not be merged with other data from Google.

You can prevent the storage of cookies by adjusting your browser settings; however, please note that in this case, you may not be able to fully use all features of this website. You can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout

2.3 LinkedIn Insight Tag

We have integrated the LinkedIn Insight Tag on our website, a tool from LinkedIn, a service of LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Plaza, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland (“LinkedIn”).

The LinkedIn Insight Tag allows us to collect information about the visitors to our website, particularly regarding the types of LinkedIn features they use and how they interact with these features. This tool helps us create targeted advertisements within the LinkedIn platform and measure the effectiveness of these ads.

By using the LinkedIn Insight Tag, cookies are set on your device, which enable the collection of pseudonymized data such as the URL of the page visited, the referrer URL, IP address (in shortened form), device and browser characteristics, and timestamps.

The data collected by the LinkedIn Insight Tag is anonymous to us, meaning we do not receive personally identifiable data about individual users. However, this data is stored and processed by LinkedIn, allowing for a connection to the respective user profile. LinkedIn may use the data for its own advertising purposes according to LinkedIn’s privacy policy.

If you are a LinkedIn member and are logged into your LinkedIn account while visiting our website, the data collected by the LinkedIn Insight Tag will be linked to your LinkedIn account.

The use of the LinkedIn Insight Tag serves the purpose of analyzing and optimizing the effectiveness of our advertising efforts. The data processing is based on our legitimate interest in targeted advertising and analyzing the impact and efficiency of this advertising.

2.4 Font Awesome

Font Awesome is operated by Fonticons, Inc., located at 6 Porter Road, Apartment 3R, Cambridge, MA 02140, USA. Font Awesome is a collection of scalable vector icons that allows web developers to integrate various icons and social logos on their websites.

We use Font Awesome to integrate visual icons on our website. This may include, for example, icons for user interfaces, social media links, or other graphical representations that enhance the design and user experience of our website.

Font Awesome may load web fonts from Fonticons, Inc.’s servers when a user visits our website. In the process, the user’s IP address is sent to Fonticons, Inc. This is necessary for the user’s web browser to correctly display the Font Awesome icons.

Fonticons, Inc. temporarily stores the users’ IP addresses exclusively for the purpose of delivering the Font Awesome icons. No further storage or analysis of this data takes place.

2.5 Google Fonts API

On our website, we use the Google Fonts API, a service provided by Google LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; “Google”) to embed fonts. By embedding these fonts, your browser will establish a connection to Google’s servers when you access our website to download the fonts and display them correctly.

Through this connection, data, including your IP address and information about the browser you are using, may be transmitted to Google and stored on Google’s servers. These servers may be located in the USA or other countries.

If you want to prevent the transmission of data via the Google Fonts API, you can block access to the domain fonts.googleapis.com in your browser settings. Please note that in this case, our website may not display correctly.

2.6 YouTube

Our website includes videos from YouTube, a platform of Google LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; “Google”). When displaying videos or clicking on the play button, data, including your IP address and information about the browser you are using, is transmitted to Google’s servers and stored there. This data is used to provide the video, monitor performance, and improve the user experience.

If you are logged into your YouTube account, YouTube can associate your browsing behavior directly with your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.

2.7 WordPress

Our website is based on the WordPress platform, a content management system developed by Automattic Inc., 60 29th Street #343, San Francisco, CA 94110, USA. WordPress allows us to create, manage, and publish content.

When using our WordPress-based website, various data may be collected and stored, including your IP address, the date and time of access, and information about the browser you are using. This data is mainly used for administrative purposes and to ensure the smooth operation of the website.

Some WordPress features, such as comments or contact forms, may collect additional personal data if you use them.

2.8 Google reCaptcha

To protect against unwanted requests via the internet form on our website, we use the reCAPTCHA service from Google LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; “Google”). The query serves to distinguish whether the input is made by a human or abusively by automated, machine processing. During the query, information such as your IP address or behavior when filling out the form may be transmitted to Google.

For this purpose, your input is sent to Google and processed there. By using reCAPTCHA, you consent to your input contributing to the digitization of old works. If IP anonymization is activated on this website, your IP address will, however, be shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.

Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transferred to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of this service. The IP address transmitted by your browser within the context of reCAPTCHA will not be merged with other Google data.
