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).

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

- 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.

Right to data portability

hindrance from us, provided the processing is based on your consent or a

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.
