Data protection

 

Basics

​

This data protection declaration is intended to inform the users of this website about the type, scope and purpose of the collection and use of personal data by the website operator SAS-Softec GmbH. 

The website operator takes your data protection very seriously and treats your personal data confidentially and in accordance with legal regulations. Since changes to this data protection declaration may be made due to new technologies and the constant development of this website, we recommend that you read the data protection declaration again at regular intervals. 

Definitions of the terms used (e.g. “personal data” or “processing”) can be found in Art. 4 GDPR. 

 

​

Access data

 

We, the website operator or site provider, collect data about access to the website based on our legitimate interest (see Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f. GDPR) and store this as “server log files” on the website server. The following data is logged like this: Website visited 

• Time at the time of access 

• Amount of data sent in bytes

• Source/reference from which you came to the page 

• Browser used

• Operating system used 

• IP address used

 

The server log files are stored for a maximum of 7 days and then deleted. The data is stored for security reasons, e.g. B. to be able to clarify cases of abuse. If data has to be kept for evidentiary reasons, it is excluded from deletion until the incident has been finally clarified. 

 

​

Range measurement & Cookies

 

This website uses cookies for pseudonymized range measurement, which are transmitted to the user's browser either from our server or the server of a third party. Cookies are small files that are stored on your device. Your browser accesses these files. The use of cookies increases the user-friendliness and security of this website. 

 

We use two types of cookies:

Session cookies (temporary): These cookies are deleted when you close your browser and do not collect any information from your computer. These cookies are used to store information in the form of session identification, which does not store users' personal data.

Persistent cookies (permanent/saved): These cookies are stored on your hard drive until they expire (i.e. based on their expiry date) or you delete them. These cookies are used to collect identifying information about the user, such as web surfing behavior or preferences for a particular website.

​

If you do not want cookies to measure reach to be stored on your device, you can object to the use of these files here: 

• Network Advertising Initiative cookie opt-out page: http://optout.networkadvertising.org/?c=1#!/

• US website cookie deactivation page: http://optout.aboutads.info/?c=2#!/

• European website cookie deactivation page: http://optout.networkadvertising.org/?c=1#!/

​

Collection and processing of personal data 

 

The website operator only collects, uses and passes on your personal data if this is permitted by law or if you consent to the data collection. 

Personal data includes all information that serves to identify you as a person and that can be traced back to you - for example, your name, email address and telephone number. 

You can also visit this website without providing any personal information. However, in order to improve our online offering, we store your access data to this website (without personal reference). These access data include, for example: B. the file you requested or the name of your internet provider. By anonymizing the data, it is not possible to draw conclusions about you personally. 

 

 

Handling contact details

 

If you contact us as the website operator using the contact options offered, your details will be saved so that they can be used to process and answer your query. This data will not be passed on to third parties without your consent. 

 

 

Google Analytics

 

Due to our legitimate interests in optimizing and analyzing our online offering within the meaning of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f. GDPR, this website uses the “Google Analytics” service, which is provided by Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheater Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA). The service (Google Analytics) uses “cookies” – text files that are stored on your device. The information collected by the cookies is usually sent to a Google server in the USA and stored there. 

Google LLC complies with European data protection law and is certified under the Privacy Shield Agreement: https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active

IP anonymization applies on this website. The user's IP address is shortened within the member states of the EU and the European Economic Area and in the other contracting states to the agreement. Only in individual cases is the IP address initially transmitted in its entirety to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. This shortening means that your IP address is no longer linked to a person. The user's IP address transmitted by the browser is not combined with other data stored by Google. 

As part of the order data agreement that we as website operator have concluded with Google Inc., Google Inc. uses the information collected to create an evaluation of website usage and website activity and provides services related to internet usage. 

The data collected by Google on our behalf is used to evaluate the use of our online offering by individual users, e.g. B. to create reports about activity on the website in order to improve our online offering. 

You have the option of preventing cookies from being stored on your device by making the appropriate settings in your browser. There is no guarantee that you will be able to access all functions of this website without restrictions if your browser does not allow cookies. 

You can also use a browser plug-in to prevent the information collected by cookies (including your IP address) from being sent to Google Inc. and used by Google Inc. The following link will take you to the corresponding plugin: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de

Alternatively, by clicking on this link (IMPORTANT: insert opt-out link), you can prevent Google Analytics from collecting data about you within this website. By clicking on the link above you will download an “opt-out cookie”. Your browser must therefore generally allow the storage of cookies. If you delete your cookies regularly, you will have to click on the link again each time you visit this website. Here you can find further information about data usage by Google Inc.:

Use of social media plugins from Facebook

 

Due to our legitimate interest in the analysis, optimization and operation of our online offering (within the meaning of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f.
