BESTVISO GmbH Data Protection Policy<\/h4>\n

We appreciate your interest in our company. Data protection is of particularly great significance for the management of BESTVISO GmbH. Generally, it is possible to use the BESTVISO GmbH websites without furnishing any Personal Data (as defined below). Insofar as the Data Subject (as defined below) wishes to avail himself or herself of our company\u2019s particular services via our website, it is possible, however, that the processing of Personal Data will be necessary. If it is necessary to process Personal Data and if no legal basis exists for such processing, then BESTVISO GmbH will generally secure the data subject\u2019s consent.<\/p>\n

The processing of Personal Data, e.g., the name, address, email address, or telephone number of a Data Subject, shall always be effected in accordance with the European Union\u2019s General Data Protection Regulation (the \u201cGDPR<\/em>\u201d) and in agreement with the country-specific data protection regulatory provisions applicable to BESTVISO GmbH. By means of this Data Protection Policy, our company wishes to inform the public concerning the nature, scope, and purpose of the Personal Data collected, used, and processed by us. Furthermore, by means of this Data Protection Policy, the rights to which Data Subjects are entitled shall be clarified to the Data Subjects.<\/p>\n

As Controller (as defined below) for the processing, BESTVISO GmbH has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures in order to ensure the most comprehensive, seamless protection of the Personal Data processed over this website. Nevertheless, internet-based data transfers can, as a general matter, manifest security gaps, such that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every Data Subject (as defined below) has the discretion to transfer Personal Data to us via alternative routes, e.g., over the telephone.<\/p>\n

1. Definition of terms<\/h4>\n

The Data Protection Policy of BESTVISO GmbH is based on terms used by the European drafters of directives and regulations in the course of promulgating the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our Data Protection Policy should be readable and comprehensible, in a straightforward manner, for the public as well as for our clients and business partners. In order to guarantee such, at the outset we would like to outline the terminology used.<\/p>\n

In this Data Protection Policy, we use, among others, the following terms:<\/p>\n

a) Personal Data<\/h4>\n

\u201cPersonal Data<\/em><\/strong>\u201d means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (the \u201cData Subject,\u201d as defined below); 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.<\/p>\n

b) Data Subject<\/h4>\n

The \u201cData Subject<\/em><\/strong>\u201d is every identified or identifiable natural person whose Personal Data are processed by the Controller (as defined below) responsible for the processing.<\/p>\n

c) Processing<\/h4>\n

\u201cProcessing<\/em><\/strong>\u201d means any operation or set of operations which is performed on Personal Data or on sets of 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.<\/p>\n

d) Restriction of Processing<\/h4>\n

\u201cRestriction of Processing<\/em><\/strong>\u201d means the marking of stored Personal Data with the aim of limiting their processing in the future.<\/p>\n

e) Profiling<\/h4>\n

\u201cProfiling<\/em><\/strong>\u201d 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.<\/p>\n

f) Pseudonymization<\/h4>\n

\u201cPseudonymization<\/em><\/strong>\u201d 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.<\/p>\n

g) Controller or Controller for the Processing<\/h4>\n

\u201cController<\/em><\/strong>\u201d or \u201cController for the Processing<\/em><\/strong>\u201d means the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of Personal Data. If the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union or Member State law, then the Controller or the specific criteria for its nomination may be provided for by Union or Member State law.<\/p>\n

h) Processor<\/h4>\n

\u201cProcessor<\/em><\/strong>\u201d means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body engaged in processing Personal Data on behalf of the Controller.<\/p>\n

i) Recipient<\/h4>\n

\u201cRecipient(s)<\/em><\/strong>\u201d means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or another body, to which the Personal Data are disclosed, whether a third party or not. However, public authorities which may receive Personal Data in the framework of a particular inquiry in accordance with Union or Member State law shall not be regarded as Recipients.<\/p>\n

j) Third Party<\/h4>\n

\u201cThird Party<\/em><\/strong>\u201d means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or body, other than the Data Subject, controller, processor, and persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or processor, are authorized to process Personal Data.<\/p>\n

k) Consent<\/h4>\n

\u201cConsent<\/em><\/strong>\u201d of the Data Subject means any freely given specific, informed, and unambiguous indication of the Data Subject\u2019s wishes by which he or she, by a statement or a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of Personal Data relating to him or her.<\/p>\n

2. Name and address of the Controller for the Processing<\/h4>\n

The Controller within the meaning of (i) the GDPR, (ii) any other data protection laws applicable in the Member States of the European Union, and (iii) any other provisions having a data-protection character is:<\/p>\n

BESTVISO GmbH
Ludwig-Erhard-Stra\u00dfe 37
D-20459 Hamburg
Germany
T. +49 (0) 40 52 47 89 02-0<\/a>
Email: info@bestviso.com<\/a>
Website: www.bestviso.com<\/p>\n

3. Cookies<\/h4>\n

BESTVISO GmbH\u2019s websites use cookies. Cookies are text data files that are deposited and stored on a computer system using a web browser.<\/p>\n

Numerous websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique label of the cookie, consisting of a character sequence through which websites and servers can classify the specific web browser on which the cookie has been stored. This makes it possible for the websites visited and for the servers to distinguish the individual browser of the Data Subject from other web browsers that contain other cookies. A particular web browser can be recognized and identified through the unique cookie ID.<\/p>\n

By using cookies, BESTVISO GmbH can provide users of this website with user-friendlier services that would not be possible without the cookie setting.<\/p>\n

By means of a cookie, information and offers on our website can be user-optimized. As already mentioned, cookies make it possible for BESTVISO GmbH to recognize users of our website. The purpose of such recognition is to make using our website easier for users. For example, the user of a website that uses cookies does not have to enter his or her access data each time he or she visits the website, because these access data are managed by the website and by the cookie deposited on the user\u2019s computer system. An additional example is the online shop\u2019s shopping basket cookie. The online shop uses a cookie to note which articles a customer has placed into the virtual shopping basket.<\/p>\n

By means of the appropriate setting on the web browser used, the Data Subject can prevent cookies from being set by BESTVISO GmbH\u2019s website, and, by extension, permanently object to having cookies set. Furthermore, cookies already set can be erased at any time through a web browser or other software programs. Such is possible in all web browsers currently in use. If the Data Subject deactivates cookies from being set in the web browser used, then under certain circumstances, not every function of BESTVISO GmbH\u2019s website will be usable to the fullest possible extent.<\/p>\n

4. Recording of general data and information<\/h4>\n

Each time BESTVISO GmbH\u2019s website is retrieved by a Data Subject or by an automated system, BESTVISO GmbH\u2019s website records a series of general data and information. These general data and information are stored in the log files of the server. The following can be recorded: (1) the browser types and versions being used, (2) the operating system being used by the system gaining access, (3) the website from which a system gaining access reaches our website (so-called referrer), (4) the subpages which are directed to our website through a system gaining access, (5) the date and time access is gained to the website, (6), an Internet protocol address (IP address), (7) the Internet service provider of the system gaining access, and (8) any other similar data and information that serve to avert hazards in the event of attacks on our IT systems.<\/p>\n

In the course of using these general data and this information, BESTVISO GmbH does not draw any inferences about the Data Subject. Rather, this information is needed (1) to properly deliver the content of our website, (2) to optimize the content of our website as well as the website\u2019s advertising, (3) to guarantee the ongoing functionality of our IT systems and of the technology of our website, as well as (4) to provide the criminal justice authorities, in the event of a cyberattack, with information needed for prosecution. These anonymously collected data and this anonymously collected information are therefore evaluated by BESTVISO (i) statistically and (ii) with the objective of increasing data protection and data security in our company in order to ensure an optimal level of protection for the Personal Data processed by us. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from all of the Personal Data furnished by the Data Subject.<\/p>\n

5. Subscription to our newsletter<\/h4>\n

On BESTVISO GmbH\u2019s website, users are provided the opportunity to subscribe to the company newsletter. The specific Personal Data to be transferred to the Controller for the Processing in the course of ordering the newsletter are determined by the input screen used for this purpose.<\/p>\n

Through a newsletter, BESTVISO GmbH informs its clients and business partners at regular intervals about the company\u2019s offers. Our company\u2019s newsletter can generally be received by the Data Subject only if the Data Subject (1) has a valid email address, and (2) registers to have the newsletter sent. For legal reasons, when the Data Subject\u2019s email address is entered for the first time, a confirmation email is sent, using the double opt-in procedure. This confirmation email serves the purpose of reviewing whether the holder of the email address, as the Data Subject, has authorized receipt of the newsletter.<\/p>\n

Additionally, in the course of newsletter registration, BESTVISO GmbH stores (i) the IP address assigned by the Internet service provider (\u201cISP\u201d) of the computer system used by the Data Subject as of the date of the registration, and (ii) the date and the time of registration. Collection of these data is necessary in order to be able to reconstruct any (possible) subsequent misuse of the Data Subject\u2019s email address, and therefore serves the purpose of legally protecting the Controller for the Processing.<\/p>\n

The Personal Data collected in the course of subscribing to the newsletter are used exclusively for the purpose of sending our newsletter. Furthermore, subscribers to the newsletter might be informed insofar as such is necessary for operating the newsletter service or for registration relating to such, as such could be the case in the event of changes to the newsletter offering or in the event of any change in technical circumstances. The Personal Data collected in the course of the newsletter services are not shared with third parties. Any subscription to our newsletter can be canceled by the Data Subject at any time. It is possible to withdraw, at any time, the consent to the storage of Personal Data issued to us by the Data Subject for purposes of sending the newsletter. Each newsletter is furnished with a corresponding link for the purpose of withdrawing consent. Furthermore, it is possible to unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time on the website of the Controller for the Processing or to inform the Controller for the Processing of such via other means.<\/p>\n

6. Newsletter tracking<\/h4>\n

BESTVISO GmbH\u2019s newsletters contain so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic that is embedded in emails that have been sent in HTML format, in order to enable log data files to be recorded and analyzed. In this manner, a statistical evaluation can be conducted of the success or failure of online marketing campaigns. By means of the embedding tracking pixels, BESTVISO GmbH can detect whether and when an email has been opened by a Data Subject and which of the links in the email have been retrieved by the Data Subject.<\/p>\n

Personal Data collected through the tracking pixels contained in the newsletters are stored and evaluated by the Controller for the Processing in order to optimize transmission of the newsletter and to continue to better adapt the content of future newsletters to the interests of the Data Subjects. These Personal Data shall not be shared with any third parties. At any time, Data Subjects have the right to withdraw the consent declaration separately given in this regard via the double opt-out procedure. After any withdraw, these Personal Data shall be erased by the Controller for the Processing. Unsubscribing from receipt of the newsletter shall be automatically construed by BESTVISO GmbH as a withdrawal.<\/p>\n

7. Contact over the website<\/h4>\n

Based on regulatory provisions of law, the BESTVISO GmbH website contains information that enables contact to be rapidly made with BESTVISO GmbH, as well as direct communication with BESTVISO GmbH, which likewise encompasses a general address of the so-called electronic mail (email). Insofar as a Data Subject initiates contact with the Controller for the Processing via email or a contact form, the Personal Data transferred by the Data Subject shall be automatically stored. Such Personal Data transferred on a voluntary basis by a Data Subject to the Controller for the Processing shall be stored for purposes of contacting or handling queries from the Data Subject. These Personal Data shall not be shared with third parties.<\/p>\n

8. Subscription of comments in the blog on the website<\/h4>\n

In general, third parties can subscribe to comments made in the BESTVISO GmbH blog. In particular, it is possible for a commentator to subscribe to the commentaries following his or her commentary to a particular blog contribution.<\/p>\n

Insofar as the Data Subject opts to subscribe to comments, the Controller for the Processing will send an automatic confirmation email in order to review, using the double opt-in procedure, whether the holder of the email address entered has really opted for such. The option to subscribe to comments can be terminated at any time.<\/p>\n

9. Routine erasure and blocking of Personal Data<\/h4>\n

The Controller for the Processing processes and stores Personal Data of the Data Subject only (i) for the period of time which is necessary for the purpose of attaining the purpose of storage or (ii) insofar as such has been intended by the drafters of the European directives and regulations or by other lawmakers in laws or regulations to which the Controller for the Processing is subject.<\/p>\n

If the storage purpose no longer exists or if a storage period prescribed by the drafters of European directives and regulations or by another competent lawmaker expires, then the Personal Data, as a routine matter and in a manner commensurate with statutory rules and regulations, shall be blocked or erased.<\/p>\n

10. Rights of the Data Subject<\/h4>\n

a) Right of confirmation<\/h4>\n

Each Data Subject has the right, granted by the drafters of European directives and regulations, to demand from the Controller for the Processing a confirmation of whether the Personal Data concerning the Data Subject is being processed. If a Data Subject wishes to avail himself or herself of this right of confirmation, then for this purpose he or she can contact an employee of the Controller for the Processing at any time.<\/p>\n

b) Right to access<\/h4>\n

Each Data Subject whose data are being processed has the right granted by the drafters of the European directives and regulations to receive from the Controller of the Processing, at any time and at no charge, access to the stored Personal Data concerning his or her person and to receive a copy of this accessed information. Furthermore, the drafters of the European directives and regulations have accorded the Data Subject the access to the following information:<\/p>\n
