They serve to make our Internet offer more user-friendly and effective overall.

How we use cookies

  1. Our website uses transient cookies and persistent cookies, the scope and functionality of which are explained below.
  2. Transient cookies are automatically deleted when you close your browser. Transient cookies in particular include session cookies. These store a so-called session ID, which can be used to assign different requests of your browser to a common session. This allows us to recognize your computer when you return to our website.

Objecting to processing based on a balance of interests

If we base the processing of your personal data on the balancing of interests pursuant to Article 6 paragraph 1 point f GDPR, you may object to the processing. This is the case if processing is not necessary to fulfill a contract with you, which we outline in the respective description of the function. When exercising such objection, we ask you to explain the reasons that arise from your particular situation, and explain why we should not process your personal data as carried out by us. In the event of your substantiated objection, we will examine the situation and either stop or adjust the data processing or point out to you our compelling legitimate reasons, on the basis of which we will continue processing.

Chat

With the chat function, we offer you the opportunity at various places on our website to get in direct touch with contact persons of itemis AG and to communicate textually with them. In doing so, we collect the texts entered by you in the chat window, in addition to the data mentioned in section “Collection of personal data when you visit our website”. We process them with your consent, which we ask you to provide before the chat starts.

The chat function is provided by our website operator and processor HubSpot Inc. under the domain usemessages.com. The legal basis for processing your data by the chat is your consent in accordance with article 6 paragraph 1 point a GDPR. We will delete chat recordings that have not been changed for at least 6 years. We will also delete your chat recordings if you withdraw your consent.

Newsletter

With your consent, you can subscribe to our newsletter, which we use to inform you about topics concerning our activities and our offers. The newsletter contains the published articles of the itemis blog.

For registration with our newsletter, we use the so-called double opt-in procedure. This means that after your registration, we will send you an e-mail to the specified e-mail address. In this e-mail, we ask you to confirm that you would like the newsletter to be sent to you. If you do not confirm your registration within 7 days, your information will be erased within one month. In addition to your e-mail address, we store your IP addresses and the time of registration and confirmation. The purpose of this procedure is to be able to prove your registration and, if necessary, to clarify a possible misuse of your personal data.

The only mandatory information for sending the newsletter is your e-mail address. The provision of further, separately marked data is voluntary. We use them to address you personally and to better tailor the information contained in the newsletter to your presumed interests. After your confirmation we will save your e-mail address for the purpose of sending the newsletter to you. The legal basis is Article 6 paragraph 1 point a GDPR.

You can revoke your consent in receiving the newsletter and unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time. You can declare your revocation by clicking on the link provided in every newsletter e-mail or by sending a message to the contact details given in the imprint. As soon as you have withdrawn your consent, you will no longer receive the newsletter. We will then delete your data stored for sending the newsletter after one month at the latest, unless we still need it for another lawful purpose described in this privacy policy.

We would like to point out that we evaluate your user behaviour when sending the newsletter. For this evaluation, the e-mails sent contain so-called web beacons or tracking pixels. These are single-pixel image files stored on our website. For such evaluations, we link the data mentioned in section "Collection of personal data when you visit our website" and the web beacons with your e-mail address and an individual ID. Links in the newsletter also contain this ID. With the data obtained in this way, we create a user profile to tailor the newsletter to your individual interests. We record when you read our newsletters, which links you click on in them and deduce your personal interests. We link this data to actions taken by you on our website.

You can object to this tracking at any time by unsubscribing from the newsletter and by not clicking on any links in newsletter e-mails you already received. Such tracking is also not possible if you have deactivated the displaying of images in your e-mail program. In this case, the newsletter will not be displayed in full and you may not be able to use all functions. If you display the images manually, the above tracking takes place.

The legal basis for processing your data for sending the newsletter is Article 6 paragraph 1 point f GDPR.

Comments in our blog

In our blog, where we publish various articles on topics related to our activities, you can make public comments. We will publish your comment with the user name you have entered at the corresponding post. We recommend that you use a pseudonym instead of your real name. User name and e-mail address are required, all other information is voluntary. When you make a comment, we also store your IP address. This storage is necessary for us to be able to defend ourselves against liability claims in cases of possible publication of illegal content. We need your e-mail address in order to be able to contact you if a third party should object to your comment as unlawful.

Please note that we store your comment permanently. We have a legitimate interest in the complete, permanent and comprehensible display of discussions resulting from comments on our website. We do not check comments before publication. We reserve the right to erase comments if they are objected to as being unlawful by a third party. The legal basis for the commentary function on our website is Article 6 paragraph 1 point f GDPR.

When writing your comment, you can check our e-mail service. It will send you a notification when other users leave a comment on the same blog post. For this service we use the so-called double opt-in procedure. This means that after your registration, we will send you an e-mail to the specified e-mail address. In this e-mail, we ask you to confirm that you wish notifications to be sent. You can unsubscribe from these notifications at any time by clicking on the link contained in the e-mail. We will store your personal data, including your e-mail address, your time of registration for the service, and your IP address until you unsubscribe from the notification service.

In the context of Google AdWords we use the so-called conversion tracking. When you click on a Google ad we have placed somewhere on the Internet, you receive a cookie for conversion tracking. This cookie expires after 30 days. It is not used for the personal identification of the user. If you visit certain pages of our website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can recognize that you clicked on the ad and were redirected to this page.

An advertiser's cookie cannot be traced by the websites of other advertisers. We receive anonymous statistics from Google showing us how successful individual ads are or how many users have clicked on which ad.

The data collected is anonymous to us as the operator of this website; we cannot draw any conclusions regarding the identity of users. However, the collected data will be transferred to Google, i.e., to the USA or to other countries, and will be processed there, so that Google may be able to relate them to you. We cannot influence how Google uses the data.

We process your data on the basis of Article 6 paragraph 1 point f GDPR. We have a legitimate interest in being able to display advertising for our products and services to users when they visit other websites and to measure the success of this advertising.

We have activated the "IP anonymisation" function on our website. By this, we instruct Google to truncate your IP address – within the member states of the European Union (EU) or in other signatory states to the European Economic Area (EEA) – and to transmit it only in abbreviated form to third countries. Only in exceptional cases the full IP address is transferred to a third country and shortened there. Google uses this information on our behalf to evaluate your use of our website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide us with other services relating to website and Internet use.
