III. General Information on Data Processing
1. What are personal data?
Personal data within the meaning of the GDPR include all information relating to the personal or material circumstances of an identified or identifiable natural person (see Art. 4(1) GDPR). Such information will regularly include not only a person’s name and (e-mail) address, for example, but also the IP address and any other information that could permit identification of that person.
2. Scope of Processing of Personal Data
In principle, we process personal data of our users only to the extent necessary to provide a functional website as well as our content and services. The processing of personal data of our users takes place regularly only if the processing of the data is permitted by legal regulations or with the consent of the user.
3. Legal basis for the processing of personal data
Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for the processing of personal data, Art. 6 (1) (a) EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis.
For the processing of personal data that is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR constitutes the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures or steps prior to entering into a contract.
Insofar as the processing of personal data is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR serves as the legal basis.
In the event that the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, the legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (d) GDPR.
If the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and if the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not override the first-mentioned interest, Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing.
4. Data deletion and storage period
The personal data of the data subject will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies. Storage may also take place if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in EU regulations, laws or other provisions to which the controller is subject. The data will also be blocked or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless there is a need for further storage of the data for the conclusion or fulfilment of a contract.
IV. Provision of the website and creation of log files
1. Description and scope of data processing
Each time our website is accessed, our system automatically collects data and information from the computer system of the calling computer.
The following data is collected:
- Date and time of access
- Browser type, Browser version, Browser language
- City/Region/Country
- IP address of the user
- User's system used
The data is stored in the log files of our system. IP addresses are only stored anonymously. This is done by storing the IP addresses in the log files by default by replacing the last three digits, which are selected randomly. The creation of a personal reference is no longer possible.
2. Legal basis for data processing
The legal basis for the temporary storage of data and log files is Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR.
3. Purpose of data processing
The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to enable delivery of the website to the user's computer. For this purpose, the IP address of the user must remain stored for the duration of the session.
The storage in log files takes place in order to ensure the functionality of the website and to ensure the technical administration of the network infrastructure. In addition, the data serves us to optimize the website and to ensure the security of our information technology systems and we use the data to create and evaluate internal statistics. An evaluation of the data for marketing purposes does not take place in this context.
These purposes also constitute our legitimate interest in data processing in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.
4. Duration of storage
The data is collected as soon as the website is accessed and deleted as soon as it is no longer necessary to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. In the case of the collection of data for the provision of the website, this is the case when the respective session has ended.
If the data is stored in log files, this is the case after seven days at the latest. Further storage is possible. In this case, the data is anonymized so that an assignment to a specific user is no longer possible. Backups are kept in encrypted form for 14 days.
5. Possibility of objection and removal
The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of the data in log files is absolutely necessary for the use of the website. Consequently, there is no possibility of objection on the part of the user.
V. Contact form and e-mail contact
1. Description and scope of data processing

- First and last name (required)
- E-mail address (required)
- Telephone number
- Enterprise
- Country (required)
- User's question (required, depending on the contact form)

Alternatively, it is possible to contact us via the e-mail addresses provided. These are listed here: https://utimaco.com/company/contact-us. In this case, the user's personal data transmitted with the e-mail will be stored.
We process the user's personal data in order to process his or her contact request. If the user wishes to receive information about our products, the answer to his request can also be taken over by one of our sales partners in certain cases. An overview of the sales partners we use can be found on our Partner Locator on the partner website under https://utimaco.com/partners. For this purpose, we forward the user's data in such a case to the responsible partner. Both we and our sales partner have a legitimate interest in contacting you regarding product issues in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.
In addition, the user can indicate in the contact form that he or she wishes to be informed by us from time to time about our products and services. He or she can give his or her consent to this, regardless of sending the contact form, by activating a check box. In this case, we will inform the user by e-mail and/or telephone about our products and services. In all other respects, the provisions of the newsletter under chapter VII. apply.
As part of our contact form, we use a so-called marketing automation tool called Pardot.Further information can be found in this privacy policy under chapter X.
2. Legal basis for data processing
The legal basis for the processing of data in the context of establishing contact is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. If the e-mail contact is aimed at the conclusion of a contract, the additional legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR.
If the user declares his or her consent to receive information about our products and services, the legal basis for this is Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. In all other respects, our regulations for receiving the newsletter in accordance with chapter VII. of this Privacy Policy apply.
3. Purpose of data processing
The processing of personal data in the context of establishing contact serves us on the one hand to process such contact requests. The personal data processed during the sending process from the input mask also serves to prevent misuse of the contact form and to ensure the security of our information technology systems. On the other hand, we process personal data of the user in the context of our marketing activities. This is our legitimate interest in data processing.
4. Duration of storage
The data is collected as soon as it has been transmitted via contact form or message and will be deleted as soon as it is no longer necessary to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. For the personal data from the input mask of the contact form and those sent by e-mail, this is the case when the respective conversation with the user has ended. The conversation is terminated when it can be inferred from the circumstances that the facts in question have been conclusively clarified and no communication between us and the user is to be expected. This is the case no later than 18 months after the last contact by us or the user. In addition, we may retain data if you have given us permission to do so or if legal disputes arise and we use evidence under legal statutes of limitations, which can be up to thirty years; the regular statute of limitations is three years.
5. Possibility of objection and removal
The user has the possibility to object to the processing of personal data at any time. In such a case, the conversation cannot be continued. The objection can be declared to us by sending an e-mail to dataprotection@utimaco.com.

The revocation can be declared to us by sending an e-mail to dataprotection@utimaco.com or by activating the unsubscribe link contained in each newsletter.
In this case, the user's data will be deleted immediately, unless the deletion is contrary to reasons grounds from the law. More information can be found under chapter XIII.

In our download area on our website https://utimaco.com/de/downloads "Downloads" there is the possibility to download various documents or to receive a download link. This is done by providing a few personal data. If the user provides his or her data, the processing of the data takes place with the consent of the user. The user will be informed of this before submitting any data and his or her consent will be obtained by activating a check box. In addition, cookies are used when initiating downloads (more on this in our Cookie Policy, see chapter IX.).

In the opinion of the European Court of Justice, there is currently no level of protection in the United States that is essentially equivalent to the GDPR. In addition, the legal remedies guaranteed to EU citizens by the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union are limited. This applies in particular to legal protection options against the processing of personal data. There is a risk that the user's personal data may be processed by US authorities for control and monitoring purposes without the possibility of a legal remedy.
Inaddition, we may process personal data of the user in the context of our marketing activities based on our legitimate interest in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR, provided the conditions are met.
The legal basis for the processing of data in compliance with our legal obligations in this context is Article 6 (1) (c) GDPR.
3. Purpose of data processing
By collecting the data, we can constantly optimize and continuously improve the offers on our website. In addition, we can identify which users are interested in our download content and better adapt it to demand.
The personal data processed during the sending process from the input mask also serve to prevent misuse of the download option and to ensure the security of our information technology systems. This is also our legitimate interest in data processing.
The country information is also checked for the purpose of fulfilling our legal obligations.
4. Duration of storage
The data will be collected and deleted upon transmission as soon as they are no longer required to achieve the purpose for which they were collected.
5. Possibility of objection and removal
The user can at any time object to the data processing in an e-mail to dataprotection@utimaco.com as described under chapter XI. and to revoke a consent given by him or her for the future. In this case, the user's data will be deleted immediately, unless the deletion is contrary to grounds arising from the law (see chapter XIII.).
If the data is required to fulfil legal obligations, premature deletion of the data is only possible unless contractual or legal obligations prevent deletion.

The personal data processed during the sending process from the input mask also serve to prevent misuse of the contact form and to ensure the security of our information technology systems.
2. Legal basis for data processing
The legal basis for the processing of data in the context of the newsletter subscription is the consent of the user in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR.
The consent given also refers to the transfer of at least part of the personal data to the United States as a third country in accordance with Art. 49 (1) (a) GDPR. In the opinion of the European Court of Justice, there is currently no level of protection in the United States that is essentially equivalent to the GDPR. In addition, the legal remedies guaranteed to EU citizens by the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union are limited. This applies in particular to legal protection options against the processing of personal data. There is a risk that the user's personal data may be processed by US authorities for control and monitoring purposes without the possibility of a legal remedy.
The consent given also extends to the above under section VII.1. described so-called newsletter tracking.
We also process personal data of the user to prevent misuse of the service or email address in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.
3. Purpose of data processing
The collection of the user's e-mail address serves to deliver the newsletter. The other data regarding newsletter tracking is processed by us so that we can optimally align our newsletters to the wishes and interests of our subscribers. This allows us to send personalized newsletters to the respective recipient.
Insofar as personal data is processed as part of the registration process for the purpose of preventing misuse of the services or the e-mail address used, this is our legitimate interest in data processing.
4. Duration of storage
The data from the input mask will be collected and stored and deleted when it is transmitted as soon as it is no longer necessary to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. If a user unsubscribes from the subscription, his or her data will be stored for the purpose that no newsletter may be sent to him. In addition, the user is shown that he or she has unsubscribed from the subscription at an earlier point in time and that he or she can order the newsletter again.
5. Newsletter dispatch via Pardot
We use our marketing automation tool Pardot to send our newsletters. The operating company is salesforce.com Germany GmbH, Erika-Mann-Straße 31-37, 80636 Munich, Germany. The data stored during the newsletter registration (e-mail address, name, company, IP address, country, time zone/date as well as the time of your registration) will be transmitted to a server of the company salesforce.com Germany GmbH in Germany and stored there. The e-mail address is initially stored only for the purpose of sending the user an e-mail in which he or she can confirm the inclusion in the e-mail list ("double opt-in"). If the e-mail address has been confirmed, it will be stored permanently in Pardot until the e-mail address is deleted by its owner by revocation or by us manually.
Further information on data protection at Pardot and a transfer to so-called third countries can be found in this privacy policy under section 4 in chapter X.
6. Possibility of objection and removal
The user can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time by revoking his or her consent for the future. Details can be found in the confirmation e-mail as well as in each individual newsletter. Each newsletter contains an unsubscribe link corresponding to this purpose. In addition, the user can unsubscribe from the newsletter by e-mail to dataprotection@utimaco.com. In this case, the user's data will be stored for the purpose that the user may no longer be sent a newsletter, that he or she will be informed of this and that he or she can order the newsletter again. In addition, the deletion may be precluded by grounds arising from the law. More information can be found in chapter XIII.
If the data is required to fulfil legal obligations, premature deletion of the data is only possible unless contractual or legal obligations prevent deletion.

If the registration serves the fulfilment of a contract to which the user is a party or the implementation of pre-contractual measures, the additional legal basis for the processing of the data is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR.
If the user makes a download of goods controlled by export law, Utimaco is legally obliged, if it is a download to a server outside the European Union, to report this download to the Federal Office of Economics and Export Control (BAFA). Its legal basis is the obligation in the General Authorization No. 16 (Telecommunications and Information Security) issued by the BAFA from and in the General Export Permit No. EU 001. The legal basis for the processing of the data in this context is Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR.
3. Purpose of data processing
Upon completion of the registration, the user receives direct access to the download files provided by us. The processed data is required by us in order to enable the download and to ensure the provision of the respective software or other documents to the user. In addition, we process data of users who log into the portal in order to constantly optimize and continuously improve it.
The user's registration is required for export control checks and then for the fulfilment of a contract with the user or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. If the user downloads goods controlled by export law outside the European Union, the data will also be processed for the purpose of being able to make the legally required reports to the BAFA described above. These purposes also constitute our legitimate interest in data processing.
4. Duration of storage
The data is collected as soon as the registration in the portal takes place and deleted as soon as it is no longer necessary to achieve the purpose for which it was collected.
This is the case for the data processed during the registration process for the fulfilment of a contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures if they are no longer necessary for the execution of the contract or the pre-contractual measures. Even after conclusion of the contract, there may be a need to store personal data of the contractual partner in order to comply with contractual or legal obligations, such as in particular to make the legally required export reports to the BAFA and to keep this documentation within the statutory retention periods.
5. Possibility of objection and removal
The user can object to the data processing at any time by e-mail to dataprotection@utimaco.com. In this case, the user's data will be deleted immediately, unless the deletion is contrary to grounds arising from the law. Further information can be found in chapter XI. The use of the portal is then no longer possible.
If the data is required for the fulfilment of a contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, premature deletion of the data is only possible unless contractual or legal obligations prevent deletion.

In addition, in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR, a data processing agreement has been concluded with salesforce.com Germany GmbH, which contains further suitable guarantees for data transfer to third countries in the form of standard data protection clauses. Salesforce has also taken additional measures to achieve an adequate level of data protection, in particular when dealing with government inquiries, which can be viewed on Salesforce data protection pages under https://www.salesforce.com/eu/company/privacy/.

5. Purpose of data processing
We use these services to analyze the use of our website so that we can constantly optimize it and make it more user-friendly.
In addition, Pardot is an integrated software solution with which we cover various aspects of our online marketing. These include content management (website), e-mail marketing (newsletters and automated mailings, e.g. to provide downloads), social media publishing & reporting, reporting (e.g. traffic sources, accesses, etc.), contact management (e.g. user segmentation), landing pages and contact forms.
These purposes also constitute our legitimate interest in data processing in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.
6. Legal basis
The legal basis for the processing of the data is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR or, if the user has given his consent , Art. 25 (1) and Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR.
We would like to point out that the consent you have given also applies to the transfer of at least part of your personal data to the United States as a third country in accordance with Article 49 (1) (a) GDPR. In the opinion of the European Court of Justice, there is no level of protection in the United States that is essentially equivalent to the GDPR. In addition, the legal remedies guaranteed to EU citizens by the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union are limited. This applies in particular to legal protection options against the processing of personal data. There is a risk that your data will be processed by US authorities for control and monitoring purposes without you being granted any means of legal remedy. For this reason, the transmission of your data therefore takes place on the basis of the consent given by you.

In addition, he/she can at any time object to the data processing in an e-mail to dataprotection@utimaco.com as described under chapter XI. and revoke any consent given by him or her for the future.

XI. Use of Plugins
Information about the cookies we use and their functions can be found in our Cookie Policy. There you will also find information on how to change the cookie settings in your browser.
1. YouTube
YouTube is a video portal of YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave, San Bruno, CA 94066, USA (hereinafter "YouTube"). We have integrated at least one plug-in from YouTube in our online services. When you activate the PlugIn, your browser establishes a direct connection with the YouTube servers. This transmits the information to YouTube that your browser has visited the corresponding page of our online services, even if you do not have a YouTube account or are not logged into your account. This information is transmitted by your browser directly to a YouTube server in the USA and stored there.
If you are logged into your YouTube account at the same time, it is also possible to assign the page view to your YouTube account and you would enable YouTube to assign your surfing behavior directly to your personal profile.
If you wish to prevent this transmission and storage of your data and your behavior on our online services by YouTube, you must log out of YouTube before visiting our website and delete any cookies placed by YouTube.
For more information on the collection and use of your data by YouTube, please refer to their privacy policy at https://www.YouTube.com/static?template=privacy_guidelines and Google's privacy policy at https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/.
The legal basis for the processing of data is § 25 (1) TDDDG and Art. 6 (1) a DSGVO.
We would like to point out that the consent you have given also relates to the transfer of at least parts of your personal data to the US being a third country pursuant to Art. 49 (1) a) DSGVO. In the opinion of the European Court of Justice, there is no level of protection in the USA that is essentially equivalent to the one provided by the GDPR. In addition, the legal protection options guaranteed to EU citizens by the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union are limited. This concerns in particular legal protection options against the processing of personal data. There is a risk that your data will be processed by US authorities, for control and for monitoring purposes, without you being granted legal remedies. For this reason, the transfer of your data is therefore based on the consent you have given.
2. Google Maps
On our website, we use Google Maps (API) from Google LLC., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA ("Google") on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO, § 25 para. 1 TDDDG).
Google Maps is a web service for displaying interactive maps in order to visually present geographical information. By using this service, our location is displayed to you and it is easier for you to contact us. For example, you can display specialist dealers in your vicinity or plan a journey quickly and easily.
When accessing those sub-pages in which the map of Google Maps is integrated, information about your use of our website (such as your IP address) would be transmitted to Google servers in the USA and stored there in the event that you give us your consent for the integration of Google Maps via the Consent Banner. This occurs regardless of whether Google provides a user account through which you are logged in or whether no user account exists. If you are logged in to Google, your data will be directly assigned to your account.
If you do not wish to be associated with your profile at Google, you must log out of Google before giving your consent and calling up a corresponding subpage with Google Maps map. Google stores your data (even for users who are not logged in) as usage profiles and evaluates them.
Such evaluation is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. a DSGVO on the basis of your consent. Google in turn uses the data to display personalized advertising, market research and / or design its website to meet your needs. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, whereby you must contact Google to exercise this right, as we have no influence over this.
If you do not agree to the future transmission of your data to Google in the context of the use of Google Maps, you also have the option of completely deactivating the Google Maps web service by turning off the JavaScript application in your browser. In this case however, Google Maps and the map display can no longer be used.
You can view Google's terms of use at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/terms/regional, the additional terms of use for Google Maps can be found at https://www.google.com/intl/de_US/help/terms_maps.
Detailed information on data protection in connection with the use of Google Maps can be found on the Google website ("Google Privacy Policy"): https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy.
We would like to point out that the consent you have given also relates to the transfer of at least parts of your personal data to the US being a third country pursuant to Art. 49 (1) a) DSGVO. In the opinion of the European Court of Justice, there is no level of protection in the USA that is essentially equivalent to the one provided by the GDPR. In addition, the legal protection options guaranteed to EU citizens by the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union are limited. This concerns in particular legal protection options against the processing of personal data. There is a risk that your data will be processed by US authorities, for control and for monitoring purposes, without you being granted legal remedies. For this reason, the transfer of your data is therefore based on the consent you have given.
XII. Links to Social Media
On our website you will find links to the social media services of Kununu, Twitter, LinkedIn, Xing and YouTube. You can recognize links to the social media presences by the respective company logo. If you follow these links, you will reach the respective Utimaco social media company presence. When you click on one of the links, a connection to the servers of the social media service is established. This transmits to these servers that you have visited our website. In addition, further data is transmitted to the provider of the corresponding service. These are for example:
- Address of the web page on which the activated link is located
- Date and time when the website was accessed or the link was activated
- Information about the browser and operating system used
- IP address
If you are already logged in to the corresponding social media service at the time the link is activated, the provider may be able to determine your user name and possibly even your real name from the transmitted data and assign this information to your personal user account with the social media service. You can exclude this possibility of assignment to your personal user account if you log out of your user account beforehand.
The servers of the social media services are located in the US and other countries outside the European Union. The data may therefore be processed by the provider of the social media service in countries outside the European Union. Please note that companies in these countries are subject to data protection laws that do not generally protect personal data to the same extent as they do in the member states of the European Union.
Please note that we have no influence on the scope, type and purpose of the data processing by the respective provider. For more information on the use of your data by the social media services integrated on our website, please refer to the privacy policy of the respective social media service.

2. Purpose and legal basis
We ourselves maintain the websites in order to communicate with the visitors of these pages and to inform them about our product offering.

We have no influence on data generation and presentation.
In addition, your personal data will be processed by the providers of the social media for market research and advertising purposes.
