Data processing on this website

Each time the website of Wurm GmbH und Co. KG Elektronische Systeme is accessed by a particular person or an automated system, it collects a general set of data and information about them. This general data and information is stored in log files on the server. This information can include 

  • the types and versions of browser used,
  • the operating system running on the system accessing our website,
  • the website sub-pages you have viewed,
  • the date and time of access to the website,
  • the internet protocol address (IP address),
  • the name and size of the up- or downloaded files
  • other similar data and information to be used for the purpose of security in case of attacks on our IT systems.

In using this general data and information, Wurm GmbH und Co. KG Elektronische Systeme draws no conclusions about the person concerned. This information is actually required for

  • presenting content correctly on our website,
  • optimising the content on our website,
  • ensuring the long-term functionality of our IT systems and technology on our website, and
  • providing the law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for prosecution in the case of cyber attacks.

The collected data and information are therefore evaluated by Wurm GmbH und Co. KG Elektronische Systeme primarily for the purpose of increasing the data protection and data security in our company, and finally ensuring an optimal level of protection for the personal data which is processed by us.
The IP address of your computer is deleted after 30 days.

  

Processing of personal data

Personal data is only processed via the automatic logging described above when you inform us about this yourself, e.g. using the contact form, or when you decide to use products requiring registration or when you want to use the online services of  Wurm GmbH & Co. KG Electronic Systems.

  

Access to the knowledge platform “FreshLab”

The data collected and processed by us when using “FreshLab” can generally be divided into the following categories:

    • Contact information such as name, address, telephone number, email address, title, place of work, etc.
    • Profile information if you create a profile or account with us, including username and password
    • Technical information such as technical data on use and display, including IP addresses, when you visit our websites or applications, also on third-party websites
    • Transaction information such as calling up of knowledge content

Access to the online services or the use of products requiring registration is only possible by means of corresponding license agreements. This presupposes that a corresponding user account already exists or a new account is created. For this purpose you will be asked to provide personal details (name, email address) and further information. Only information required for establishing the contractual relationship or for carrying out the services is designated as mandatory information.

Access to FreshLab requires that you have an account in the Wurm Infocenter and log into FreshLab with these access data.  If you do not have an account yet or if you have problems/questions in connection with our Infocenter, you can contact the sales partners (contact persons) named there. Clicking on the respective link will open an e-mail form and you can send your request by entering your name, company and e-mail address (mandatory fields) as well as other optional information. Any further processing will be carried out only in order to fulfil your request and will be carried out by the contact person named in each case. When you log in to FreshLab, your username, the IP address currently used by your PC and the login time are stored for verification purposes.

 

The usage of the FreshLab knowledge platform is possible via various login procedures, as with the InfoCenter.

    • Login with OneID: With OneID you can use your mobile device for authentication for FreshLaband other applications. To use OneID, you need a unique, personally identifiable email address or mobile phone number and a mobile device running the iOS or Android operating system. Authentication is realized via an application (app) that has to be installed and set up on your mobile device. If the installation was successful, you can bind the used device to your OneID access data via the key symbol and immediately log in to all applications that have been activated for you.
    • user name and password (admins only)

If you get in contact with Wurm GmbH & Co. KG Elektronische Systeme by email, please note that we use the STARTTLS encryption process. If your server supports this encryption process, this will ensure secure communication between our email server and yours. Otherwise the data will usually be sent unencrypted. In this case, the confidentiality of the transferred information cannot be guaranteed. We have no control over the path taken by your email over the public internet to our company and cannot therefore guarantee the security of your data. Once your email has reached our email server, we protect your data with highly technical and organisational measures.

                                                                             

Transmission of data to third parties

Wurm GmbH & Co. KG Electronic Systems will not as a matter of principle transmit your personal data to third parties outside the company network, unless:

  • transmission is necessary for the purpose of carrying out or billing services, if the service involves making use of the products or services of an independent partner company or if the data is needed for the purpose of carrying out the service for a partner company (if you are not advised otherwise, such vicarious agents are only authorized to use the data that is absolutely necessary for this service); an automatic email is generated and sent to the relevant sales partner for the billing (personal user contract).
  • you have given your consent to transmit the information, or prosecuting authorities or courts demand information based on applicable laws for the purpose of prosecution.
  • in order to carry out the processing and handling process, if we have to make use of service providers in order to process the contract data, the contractual relations are regulated as stipulated by Art. 28 GDPR, which contains the legally required points relating to data privacy and data protection.

 The knowledge platform content is stored in the Microsoft Azure Cloud with servers hosted in Europe. Microsoft bases this storage on the EU standard contractual clauses. Your profile data taken from the Infocenter when you first log in to the knowledge portal and any comments in the form of an anonymous rating function are also stored there.

The communication tool integrated in the knowledge platform, which is intended for live training or online seminars, is also located on this cloud server. The data protection settings of this tool have been implemented in a correspondingly user-friendly manner (privacy by default).

The right to access your personal information

You are entitled to information about the personal data concerning you that are processed by us.

The right to rectification

You may request the correction of incomplete or incorrectly processed personal data.

The right to erasure

You are entitled to have personal data concerning you deleted, especially if one of the following reasons applies:

  • Your personal information is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed.
  • You revoke your consent to the processing of your data.
  • You have asserted a right to object to the processing.
  • Your data was processed unlawfully.

The right to erasure does not exist, however, if if is in conflict with the legitimate interests of the responsible person. This can be, for example, if:

  • personal data are required to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.
  • deletion is not possible due to storage requirements

However, if data cannot be deleted, there may be a right to restrict processing (see below).


Right to restriction of processing

You have the right to require us to restrict the processing of your personal data if

  • you deny the accuracy of the data and we therefore check its accuracy
  • the processing is unlawful and you refuse deletion and instead demand the restriction of use
  • we no longer need the data, but you need them to assert, exercise or defend your rights.
  • you have objected to the processing of your data, and it is not yet clear whether our legitimate reasons outweigh your reasons.

Right to data portability

You have the right to receive the personal information that you have provided us in a structured, common and machine-readable format and you have the right to transfer this data to another person without hindrance from us, provided the processing is based on your consent or a contract and processing is done by us using automated procedures.

Withdrawal

The data subject shall have the right, at any time, to object to the processing of personal data relating to him or her under Art. 6, S. 1(e) or 1(f) for reasons arising out of their particular situation; this also applies to a profiling based on these provisions. If the processing of your personal data is based on a consent, you have the right to revoke this consent at any time.

 

Standard deadlines for the deletion of the data

Insofar as a statutory retention provision does not exist, the data will be automatically deleted or destroyed if they are no longer necessary for achieving the purpose of the data processing including billing (cf. regulations regarding cookies). There is a legal retention period for data with tax relevance, which is usually 10 years; other data according to commercial regulations (business letters) are usually kept for 6 years. Finally, the storage period can also be based on the statutory limitation periods, which may usually be three years, for example, according to §§ 195 ff. of the German Civil Code (BGB), but also up to thirty years in some cases.

 

Automated decision making

As a responsible company, we renounce the use of automated decision making or profiling.

 

Right of appeal to a supervisory authority

Each data subject has a right of appeal to a supervisory authority under Article 77 GDPR if they consider that the processing of personal data concerning them infringes the GDPR.

 

The supervisory authority responsible for us is:

Landesbeauftragte für den Datenschutz und die Informationsfreiheit Nordrhein-Westfalen
