Data Privacy Statement
As of: 01/01/2025
For reasons of readability, the simultaneous use of the language forms male, female and diverse (m/f/d) is avoided. All references to persons apply equally to all genders.
logicline GmbH, as the operator of the website, logicline.de, takes the protection of personal data very seriously. We treat personal data confidentially and in accordance with the legal data protection regulations and on the basis of this data protection declaration. The legal basis can be found in particular in the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) and the Act on Data Protection and the Protection of Privacy in Telecommunications and Digital Services (Telecommunications Digital Services Data Protection Act – TDDDG). By means of this data protection declaration, our company would like to inform the public about the type, scope and purpose of the personal data collected, used and processed by us. Furthermore, data subjects are informed about their rights by means of this data protection declaration.
As the controller, logicline GmbH has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection of personal data processed through this website. However, Internet-based data transmissions can generally 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.
This privacy policy informs you in accordance with Art. 12 ff. DSGVO about the handling of your personal data when using our website. In particular, it explains what data we collect and what we use it for. It also informs you about how and for what purpose this is done.
This privacy policy explicitly refers to the specific data processing procedures that take place when you visit our website at logicline.de. It also covers our websites hackathon-stuttgart.de, logicline.ch, service-digital.de.
1. Definitions
The data protection declaration of logicline GmbH is based on the terms of the GDPR. Our data protection declaration 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 terms used in advance below.
Personal data
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.
Processing
Processing is 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 , reading, querying, using, disclosing by transmission, dissemination or any other form of provision, comparison or linking, restriction, deletion or destruction.
Restriction of processing
Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting its future processing.

Profiling is 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
Pseudonymization is 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
The controller is the natural or legal person who, alone or jointly with others, decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data. Where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union or Member State law, the controller or the specific criteria for their nomination may be provided for by Union or Member State law.
Processor
A processor is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.
Recipient

However, 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.
Third party
A third party is 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.
Consent
Consent of the data subject is any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject’s wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her.

4. Cookies
Cookies are text files that are stored on a computer system via an internet browser.
So-called “session cookies” are stored temporarily in the main memory and automatically deleted when the browser is closed. So-called “permanent cookies” are stored on the hard disk for a specified, longer period of time; they are automatically deleted after the specified period of time has expired.
The main purpose of cookies is to make using a website easier, more effective and safer. We use cookies to be able to identify you throughout your session after you have logged in to logicline.de. After your session has ended, the corresponding session cookie automatically expires.
We use technically necessary, functional and analytical cookies. The legal basis for the use of technically necessary cookies is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f DSGVO, whereby our legitimate interest lies in providing a well-functioning website. Any use of cookies that is not technically necessary constitutes data processing that is only permitted with your express and active consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. a GDPR. This applies in particular to the use of advertising, targeting or sharing cookies. Beyond that, we only pass on your personal data processed by cookies to third parties if you have given your express consent to do so in accordance with Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. a GDPR. Consent to the use of cookies, insofar as they are not absolutely necessary, can be revoked at any time with effect for the future. The cookie banner displayed on the website allows you to specify your preferences regarding cookies.
5. Server Log Files
If you visit our website to find out about our range of services or to use them, the basis for the temporary storage and processing of the access data is Art. 6 Para. 1 Clause 1 lit. b GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the fulfillment of a contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In addition, Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f DSGVO serves as the legal basis for the temporary storage of technical access data. Our legitimate interest here is to provide you with a technically functional and user-friendly website and to ensure the security of our systems.
For the purpose of the technical provision of the website, it is necessary for us to process certain information that is automatically transmitted by your browser so that our website can be displayed in your browser and you can use the website. This information is automatically collected each time you visit our website and automatically stored in so-called server log files. The stored data records contain the following data:
Date and time of access
Name of the page accessed
IP address
Referrer URL (the URL from which you came to the web pages)
The amount of data transferred
The operating system used
Product and version information of the browser used
The storage of the aforementioned data is necessary for technical reasons to provide a functional website and to ensure system security. This also applies to the storage of your IP address, which is necessary and, under further conditions, can at least theoretically enable it to be assigned to you. Beyond the purposes mentioned above, we use server log files exclusively for the needs-based design and optimization of our internet offering in a purely statistical way and without any reference to you as an individual. This data is not merged with other data sources, nor is it evaluated for marketing purposes.
The access data collected in the course of using our website is only stored for the period of time for which this data is required to achieve the above purposes. For IT security purposes, your IP address is stored on our web server for a maximum of 7 days.
6. Registration on our Website
You have the option to register on our website. In doing so, we process the following personal data:
First and last name
E-mail address
IP address
Date and time of registration
The storage of the IP address as well as the date and time of registration is carried out in the knowledge that this is the only way to prevent the misuse of our services and that this data makes it possible to investigate criminal offences if necessary. This data is not passed on to third parties unless there is a legal obligation to do so or if the passing on of the data serves the purpose of criminal prosecution.
Your registration, with the voluntary provision of personal data, enables us to offer you content or services that, due to the nature of the matter, can only be offered to registered users. You are free to modify the personal data provided during registration at any time or to have it completely deleted from our database.
7. Captcha
We use the Friendly Captcha tool from Friendly Captcha GmbH (Am Anger 3-5, 82237 Woerthsee, Germany, hereinafter “Friendly Captcha”) on our website to ensure that actions on our site are carried out by a natural person and not by a programmed bot.
To do this, Friendly Captcha creates an individual “crypto puzzle” for each visitor to the site, which the web browser solves in the background while the visitor is filling out a form. Friendly Captcha uses neither cookies nor tracking methods. According to Friendly Captcha, your IP address is processed during the process. However, this is anonymized via one-way hashing before processing, so that site visitors cannot be personally identified.
We use Friendly Captcha based on our legitimate interest in a functioning and technically secure website that does not allow abusive access or spam attacks by bots. Due to the high data protection standards and the fact that Friendly Captcha does not collect personal data, there are no apparent conflicting interests of data subjects that outweigh our interest. The legal basis is therefore Art. 6 Para. 1 Sentence 1 lit. f GDPR.
Further information can be found at https://friendlycaptcha.com/de/legal/privacy-end-users/
8. Subscription to our newsletter and other information
To subscribe to our newsletter or other marketing information, simply provide your email address. Our newsletter contains information about our company and our range of services.
The newsletter registration is done using the so-called double opt-in procedure. This means that after submitting your data, you will receive an e-mail asking you to confirm your registration. We will not share your e-mail address without your consent. You can cancel the newsletter at any time. A link to cancel your subscription can be found at the end of each newsletter.
logicline GmbH informs its customers and business partners about company offers at regular intervals by newsletter. In principle, you can only receive our company newsletter if (1) you have a valid e-mail address and (2) you have registered to receive the newsletter or other marketing information. A confirmation e-mail will be sent to the e-mail address you entered for the first time for the newsletter mailing. This is a double opt-in procedure, i.e. after sending your data, you will receive an e-mail asking you to confirm your registration.
When you register for the newsletter, we also store the IP address of the computer system used at the time of registration, as assigned by the Internet Service Provider (ISP), as well as the date and time of registration. The collection of this data is necessary in order to be able to trace any misuse.
The personal data collected as part of a registration for the newsletter will only be used to send our newsletter or other marketing information. There is no disclosure of personal data collected by the newsletter service to third parties. You can cancel the subscription to our newsletter or other marketing information at any time. You can revoke your consent to the storage of personal data that you have given us for the newsletter subscription at any time. For the purpose of revoking your consent, there is a corresponding link in each newsletter. Furthermore, you can also unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time directly on our website or inform us of this in another way.
9. Newsletter Tracking
The newsletter of logicline GmbH contains so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic embedded in e-mails sent in HTML format to enable log file recording and analysis. This allows a statistical evaluation of the success or failure of online marketing campaigns. Based on the embedded tracking pixel, we can recognize whether and when an e-mail was opened by you and which links in the e-mail were accessed.
Such personal data collected via the tracking pixels contained in the newsletters are stored and evaluated by us in order to optimize the delivery of the newsletter and to better adapt the content of future newsletters to the interests of the data subjects. These personal data are not passed on to third parties. You are entitled at any time to revoke the separate declaration of consent given via the double opt-in procedure. After a revocation, these personal data will be deleted by us. We automatically interpret a cancellation of the newsletter as a revocation.
10. Contact Forms
If you contact us by email or using our contact form, the personal data you provide will be stored automatically. Such personal data transmitted to us on a voluntary basis will be stored for the purposes of processing or contacting you. This personal data will not be passed on to third parties.
11. Deletion and Storage Period
Your personal data will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies. Storage may continue if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in EU regulations, laws or other provisions to which we are subject. Blocking or deletion of the data also takes place when a storage period prescribed by the standards mentioned expires, unless there is a need for further storage of the data for the conclusion or fulfillment of a contract.
12. Rights of the Data Subject
As a data subject within the meaning of the GDPR, you have the following rights:
Right of access (Art. 15 GDPR):

13. Data protection provisions about the application and use of Google Remarketing
We have integrated Google Remarketing services into our website. Google Remarketing is a function of Google AdWords that allows you to display ads to Internet users who have previously visited the company’s website. The integration of Google Remarketing therefore makes it possible to create user-based advertising and thus to display ads that are relevant to the interests of the Internet user.
The operating company of the Google Remarketing services is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
The purpose of Google Remarketing is the insertion of interest-relevant advertising. Google Remarketing allows us to display ads on the Google advertising network or on other websites, which are tailored to the individual needs and interests of Internet users.
Google Remarketing sets a cookie on your information technology system. The definition of cookies is explained above. With the setting of the cookie, Google enables a recognition of the visitor of our website if he calls up consecutive web pages, which are also a member of the Google advertising network. With each call-up to an Internet site on which the service has been integrated by Google Remarketing, the web browser of the data subject identifies automatically with Google. As part of this technical process, Google receives information about personal data, such as the IP address or the surfing behavior of the user, which Google uses, among other things, to display interest-relevant advertising.
Every time you visit our website, personal data, including the IP address of the internet connection used, is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass on this personal data collected through the technical process to third parties.
You can prevent the setting of cookies through our website at any time by means of a corresponding adjustment of the Internet browser used, and thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. Furthermore, already set cookies may be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or other software programs.
Furthermore, you have the option to object to interest-based advertising by Google. To do this, go to www.google.de/settings/ads from each of the Internet browsers you use and make the desired settings there.
Further information and Google’s current data protection provisions can be found at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/](https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/).
14. Use of SalesViewer® Technology
This website uses SalesViewer® technology from SalesViewer® GmbH to collect and store data for marketing, market research and optimization purposes based on the website operator’s legitimate interests (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR).
For this purpose, a javascript-based code is used to collect company-related data and the corresponding usage. The data collected using this technology is encrypted using a non-reversible one-way function (so-called hashing). The data is immediately pseudonymized and is not used to personally identify the visitor to this website.
The data stored by Salesviewer is deleted as soon as it is no longer required for its intended purpose and the deletion does not conflict with any statutory retention requirements.
You can object to the collection and storage of data at any time with effect for the future by clicking on this link https://www.salesviewer.com/opt-out to prevent SalesViewer® from collecting data on this website in the future. This stores an opt-out cookie for this website on your device. If you delete your cookies in this browser, you will have to click on this link again.
15. Data protection provisions about the application and use of Google-Ads
We have integrated Google Ads on our website. Google Ads is a service for Internet advertising that allows the advertiser to place ads in Google’s search engine results and the Google advertising network. Google Ads allows an advertiser to pre-define specific keywords that will trigger an ad on Google’s search results only when the user uses the search engine to retrieve a keyword-relevant search result. In the Google advertising network, the ads are distributed on topic-relevant websites by means of an automatic algorithm, taking into account the previously defined keywords.
The operating company of Google Ads is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
The purpose of Google Ads is to advertise our website by displaying interest-relevant advertising on the websites of third-party companies and in the search engine results of the Google search engine and by displaying third-party advertising on our website.
If you access our website via a Google ad, a so-called conversion cookie is stored on your IT system by Google. A conversion cookie loses its validity after thirty days and is not used to identify the data subject. If the cookie has not yet expired, the conversion cookie is used to determine whether certain sub-pages, such as the shopping cart from an online shop system, have been accessed on our website.
The data and information collected through the use of the conversion cookie is used by Google to create visitor statistics for our website. These visitor statistics are in turn used by us to determine the total number of users who have been referred 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 that could be used to identify you.
Each time you visit our website, personal data, including the IP address of the internet connection used, is transmitted to Google in the United States of America and processed. Google may pass on this personal data collected through the technical process to third parties.
You can prevent the setting of cookies through our website at any time by means of a corresponding adjustment of the Internet browser used, and thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. Already set cookies may be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or other software programs.
Furthermore, you have the option to object to interest-based advertising by Google. To do this, go to www.google.de/settings/ads from each of the internet browsers you use and make the desired settings there.
Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of Google may be retrieved under https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/](https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/).
16. Data protection provisions about the application and use of LinkedIn
We have integrated components from the LinkedIn Corporation on this website. LinkedIn is a web-based social network that enables users to connect with existing business contacts and make new business contacts. Over 400 million registered people in more than 200 countries use LinkedIn. This makes LinkedIn currently the largest platform for business contacts and one of the most visited websites in the world.
The operating company of LinkedIn is LinkedIn Corporation, 2029 Stierlin Court Mountain View, CA 94043, UNITED STATES. For privacy matters outside of the UNITED STATES LinkedIn Ireland, Privacy Policy Issues, Wilton Plaza, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland, is responsible.
Each time our website receives an access request equipped with a LinkedIn component (LinkedIn plug-in), this component causes the browser used by the data subject to download a corresponding display of the LinkedIn component. Further information about LinkedIn plug-ins can be found at https://developer.linkedin.com/plugins](https://developer.linkedin.com/plugins). As part of this technical process, LinkedIn receives information about which specific subpage of our website you are visiting.
If you are logged in to LinkedIn at the same time, LinkedIn recognizes which specific subpage of our website you are visiting each time you visit our website and for the entire duration of your stay on our website. This information is collected by the LinkedIn component and assigned to the respective LinkedIn account by LinkedIn. If you click on a LinkedIn button integrated into our website, LinkedIn assigns this information to your personal LinkedIn user account and stores this personal data. If you do not want this information to be transmitted to LinkedIn, you can prevent the transmission by logging out of your LinkedIn account before accessing our website.
At https://www.linkedin.com/psettings/guest-controls, LinkedIn offers you the option to unsubscribe from e-mail messages, text messages and targeted ads, as well as to manage your ad settings. LinkedIn also uses partners such as Quantcast, Google Analytics, BlueKai, DoubleClick, Nielsen, Comscore, Eloqua, and Lotame, who may set cookies. Such cookies may be rejected at https://www.linkedin.com/legal/cookie-policy. The applicable data protection provisions for LinkedIn is available at https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy. The LinkedIn Cookie Policy is available at https://www.linkedin.com/legal/cookie-policy.
17. Data protection provisions about the application and use of Matomo
On this website, we have integrated the Matomo component. Matomo is an open-source software tool for web analysis. Web analysis is the collection, gathering and evaluation of data on the behavior of visitors to websites. Among other things, a web analysis tool collects data about the website from which a data subject came to a website (so-called referrer), which sub-pages of the website were accessed or how often and for how long a sub-page was viewed. A web analysis is mainly used to optimize a website and for the cost-benefit analysis of internet advertising.
The software is operated on the controller’s server, and the log files, which are sensitive under data protection law, are stored exclusively on this server.
The purpose of the Matomo component is to analyze visitor flows on our website. We use the data and information obtained, among other things, to evaluate the use of this website in order to compile online reports showing the activities on our website.
Matomo sets a cookie on your information technology system. The setting of the cookie enables us to analyze the use of our website. Each time you access one of the individual pages of this website, the Matomo component automatically causes the internet browser on your IT system to transmit data to our server for the purpose of online analysis. As part of this technical process, we obtain knowledge of personal data, such as the IP address, which, among other things, helps us to track the origin of visitors and clicks.
The cookie is used to store personal information, such as the access time, the location from which access was made and the frequency of visits to our website. Each time you visit our website, this personal data, including the IP address of the internet connection used, is transmitted to our server. This personal data is stored by us. We do not pass this personal data on to third parties.
You can prevent our website from setting cookies at any time by adjusting the settings on your internet browser accordingly, thereby permanently objecting to the setting of cookies. Adjusting your internet browser in this way would also prevent Matomo from setting a cookie on your IT system. Furthermore, a cookie already set by Matomo can be deleted at any time via an internet browser or other software programs.
Furthermore, you can object to the processing of personal data. To do this, you can set “Do Not Track” in your browser.
However, if you set the opt-out cookie, it is possible that our website will no longer be fully usable.
Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of Matomo may be retrieved under https://matomo.org/privacy/](https://matomo.org/privacy/).
18. Data protection provisions about the application and use of YouTube
We have integrated components from YouTube into this website. YouTube is an online video portal that allows video publishers to upload video clips free of charge and other users to view, rate and comment on them, also free of charge. YouTube allows the publication of all types of videos, which is why complete film and TV shows, as well as music videos, trailers or videos made by users themselves, can be accessed via the online portal.
YouTube is operated by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
Each time you access one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by us and on which a YouTube component (YouTube video) has been integrated, the Internet browser on your information technology system is automatically prompted by the respective YouTube component to download a representation of the corresponding YouTube component from YouTube. Further information about YouTube can be found at https://www.youtube.com/yt/about/de/]. As part of this technical process, YouTube and Google receive information about which specific subpage of our website you are visiting.
If you are logged into YouTube at the same time, YouTube recognizes which specific page of our website you are visiting when you access a page that contains a YouTube video. This information is collected by YouTube and Google and associated with the respective YouTube account.
If you do not want this information to be transmitted to YouTube and Google, you can prevent it by logging out of your YouTube account before accessing our website.
YouTube’s data protection policy, which can be found at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/, provides information about the collection, processing and use of personal data by YouTube and Google.
19. Data protection provisions about the application and use of Active Campaign
We use the ActiveCampaign service, provided by ActiveCampaign, LLC, 1 North Dearborn Street, 5th Floor, Chicago, IL 60602, USA, to manage and execute our email marketing and to analyze the effectiveness of our campaigns. Personal data such as name, email address, usage data (e.g. opening and click rates of emails) and other information provided voluntarily are processed.
The processing is carried out on the basis of your consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) point a GDPR, provided that you have given your consent. The data may be transferred to the United States, whereby ActiveCampaign is required by the conclusion of EU standard contractual clauses to ensure a level of protection corresponding to European data protection. Your data will only be stored for as long as it is necessary to carry out the marketing measures or until you revoke your consent. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future, for example by using the unsubscribe link in our e-mails.
Further information on data processing by ActiveCampaign can be found in their privacy policy at: https://www.activecampaign.com/legal/privacy-policy.
20. Chatbot
The user can exchange text messages with a chatbot via logicline. The chatbot is a text-based dialog system that allows you to chat with a computer program. General questions about the platform and how to use the expertise network can be easily asked online. The answer is provided fully automatically based on text analysis and machine learning. By evaluating user responses to suggested answers with several possible outcomes, the chatbot learns to provide more accurate answers. In addition, the database is continuously improved by the editorial maintenance of the underlying data. The chatbot provides users with non-binding answers to general questions. It is not necessary to enter personal data (e.g. first and last name, age, etc.) to use the chatbot. The chatbot does not require this data. However, if personal data is provided when using the chatbot (so-called unsolicited personal data), this will also be processed to the extent described above.
The data entered is processed in order to provide general information. The processing takes place in a dialog, similar to a conversation, and is fully automated on the part of the chatbot. The data collected is used solely for the continuous improvement of the chatbot and for quality assurance of the information provided by employees.
The described processing is carried out on the legal basis of Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f. DSGVO, whereby our legitimate interest lies in providing an effective and user-friendly platform.
21. Legal basis for processing
Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR serves our company as the legal basis for processing operations in 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 you are a party, as is the case, for example, when processing operations are necessary to provide a service, the processing is based on Article 6(1) sentence 1 lit. b GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures, for example in the case of inquiries about our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation that requires the processing of personal data, such as to fulfill tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. c 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, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data. We are permitted to carry out such processing operations in particular because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this respect, it took the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the controller (recital 47, sentence 2, GDPR).
22. Period for which personal data will be stored
The criterion for the duration of the storage of personal data is the respective legal retention period. After the deadline, the corresponding data is routinely deleted if it is no longer required to fulfill the contract or to initiate a contract.
23. Legal or contractual provisions for the provision of personal data; necessity for the conclusion of the contract; obligation of the data subject to provide the personal data; possible consequences of not providing the data
We will 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 on the contractual partner). Sometimes it may be necessary for the conclusion of a contract that a data subject provides us with personal data that we must subsequently process. For example, the data subject is obliged to provide us with personal data when our company enters into a contract with him or her. Failure to provide personal data would mean that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded. Before the data subject provides personal data, the data subject must contact one of our employees. Our employee will explain to the data subject on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of personal data is required by law or contract or is necessary for the conclusion of a contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data and what the consequences of not providing the personal data would be.
24. No automated decision-making or profiling
As a responsible company, we do not use automatic decision-making or profiling.
