This privacy policy applies to the digital offering of Smart Reporting GmbH, which is accessible under this domain as well as various subdomains ("our website").

Objection to Promotional Emails

The use of contact information published within the scope of the legal notice obligation, the privacy policy, and other contact details published on the website is hereby objected to for the purpose of sending unsolicited advertising and informational materials.

Who is responsible, and how can you reach us?

Responsible Party

for the Processing of Personal Data in accordance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR):

Smart Reporting GmbH
Erika-Mann-Straße 69
80636 München

Data Protection Officer

Stephan Krischke, datenschutz@smart-reporting.com

What is this about?

This privacy policy fulfills the legal requirements for transparency in the processing of personal data. This includes all information related to an identified or identifiable natural person. This encompasses details such as your name, age, address, phone number, date of birth, email address, IP address, or user behavior when visiting a website. Information for which we cannot establish a reference to your person (or only with disproportionate effort), such as through anonymization, is not considered personal data. The processing of personal data (e.g., collection, querying, use, storage, or transmission) always requires a legal basis and a defined purpose.

Stored personal data is deleted as soon as the purpose of processing is achieved, and there are no lawful reasons for further data retention. We inform you about specific storage periods or criteria for storage in each processing operation. Regardless, we may store your personal data in individual cases for the assertion, exercise, or defense of legal claims and when legal retention obligations exist.

Who receives my data?

Transmission of your personal data to third parties for purposes other than those listed below does not take place.

We only disclose your personal data to third parties when:

You have given us your explicit consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1)(a) GDPR,
the disclosure is permissible for the protection of our legitimate interests under Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR, and there is no reason to believe that you have an overriding legitimate interest in not disclosing your data,
there is a legal obligation for the disclosure under Art. 6 (1)(c) GDPR, or
it is legally permissible and necessary for the performance of contractual relationships with you under Art. 6 (1)(b) GDPR.

To protect your data and, if necessary, enable data transmission to third countries (outside the EU/EEA), we have concluded data processing agreements based on the standard contractual clauses of the European Commission. If the standard contractual clauses are not sufficient to ensure an adequate level of security, your consent pursuant to Art. 49 (1)(a) GDPR can serve as the legal basis for the transmission to third countries. This may not apply when transferring data to third countries for which the European Commission has issued an adequacy decision under Art. 45 GDPR.

As part of the processing activities described in this privacy policy, personal data may be transferred to the USA. In particular, US investigative authorities can require US companies to hand over or disclose personal data, without the affected individuals being able to effectively take legal action against this. Therefore, there is generally the possibility that your personal data may be processed by US investigative authorities. We have no influence over these processing activities.

The data transfer to the USA takes place in accordance with Article 45(1) of the GDPR based on the European Commission's adequacy decision. The involved US companies and/or their US subcontractors are certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (EU-U.S. DPF). In cases where no adequacy decision by the European Commission exists (including US companies that are not certified under the EU-U.S. DPF), we have agreed upon other appropriate safeguards with the recipients of the data in accordance with Articles 44 ff. of the GDPR. These are – unless otherwise stated – the EU Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses according to the Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/914 of June 4, 2021. You can view a copy of these Standard Contractual Clauses at https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/HTML/?uri=CELEX:32021D0914&from=EN.

If the Standard Contractual Clauses are not sufficient to establish an adequate level of security, or if the conclusion of the Standard Contractual Clauses is not possible, your consent pursuant to Article 49(1)(a) of the GDPR may serve as the legal basis for the transfer.

Do you use cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are sent by us to the browser of your device during your visit to our websites and stored there. Alternatively, information can also be stored in the local storage of your browser instead of using cookies. Some features of our website cannot be offered without the use of cookies or local storage (technically necessary cookies). On the other hand, other cookies enable various analyses, allowing us, for example, to recognize the browser you are using when you revisit our website and transmit different information to us (non-essential cookies). Through the use of cookies, we can make our online offering more user-friendly and effective for you. This includes, for example, tracking your use of our website and determining your preferred settings (e.g., country and language settings). If third parties process information through cookies, they collect the information directly through your browser. Cookies do not harm your device, and they cannot execute programs or contain viruses.

Detailed information about the cookies we use for specific services is provided in the individual processing operations. You can find comprehensive information about the cookies used in the Cookie Settings or the Consent Manager of this website.

What rights do I have?

Under the conditions of the legal provisions of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), you, as the data subject, have the following rights:

Right of Access (Art. 15 GDPR): You have the right to information about the data stored regarding you, in the form of meaningful details about the processing, and a copy of your data.
Right to Rectification (Art. 16 GDPR): You can request the correction of incorrect or incomplete data stored by us.
Right to Erasure (Art. 17 GDPR): You have the right to request the deletion of data stored by us, provided that the processing is not necessary for the exercise of the right to freedom of expression and information, for the fulfillment of a legal obligation, for reasons of public interest, or for the assertion, exercise, or defense of legal claims.
Right to Restriction of Processing (Art. 18 GDPR): You can request the restriction of processing, if the accuracy of the data is contested, the processing is unlawful, we no longer need the data, and you object to its deletion because you need it to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims, or you have objected to processing under Article 21 of the GDPR.
Right to Data Portability (Art. 20 GDPR): You have the right to data portability, if you have provided us with personal data based on consent according to Article 6 (1)(a) GDPR or on the basis of a contract according to Article 6 (1)(b) GDPR, and this data has been processed by us through automated means. You will receive your data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, or we will transmit the data directly to another controller, where technically feasible.
Right to Object (Art. 21 GDPR): You can object to the processing of your personal data, if the processing is based on Article 6 (1)(e, f) GDPR and there are reasons arising from your particular situation, or if the objection is against direct marketing. The right to object does not apply if compelling legitimate grounds for the processing can be demonstrated, which override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or if the processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims. If the right to object does not exist for individual processing operations, this is indicated there.
Right to Withdraw Consent (Art. 7 (3) GDPR): You can withdraw your consent with effect for the future.
Right to Lodge a Complaint (Art. 77 GDPR): You have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority if you believe that the processing of your personal data violates the GDPR. Typically, you can contact the supervisory authority at your habitual residence, your place of work, or our company headquarters.

Automated decision-making in individual cases, including profiling, does not take place.

Website Provision

When you access and use our website, we collect the personal data that your browser automatically transmits to our server. The following information is temporarily stored in a so-called logfile:

IP address of the requesting computer
Date and time of access
Name and URL of the retrieved file
Website from which the access originates (referrer URL)
Used browser and, if applicable, the operating system of your computer, as well as the name of your access provider

Our website is not hosted by us but by a service provider who processes the aforementioned data on our behalf in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR.

Purpose and Legal Basis

The processing is carried out to safeguard our predominant legitimate interest in displaying our website and ensuring security and stability based on Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR. The collection of data and storage in log files are essential for the operation of the website. There is no right to object to processing due to the exception under Art. 21 (1) GDPR. If further storage of the log files is legally required, processing is carried out based on Art. 6 (1)(c) GDPR. There is no legal or contractual obligation to provide the data; however, accessing our website without providing the data is not technically possible.

Storage Duration

The aforementioned data are stored for the duration of displaying the website and, for technical reasons, for a maximum of 7 days beyond that.

Contact Form

Nature and Scope of Processing

In the course of contacting us (e.g., via contact form or email), personal data is collected. The specific data collected in the case of a contact form is apparent from the respective contact form. Additionally, you may voluntarily provide extra information that you deem necessary for processing the contact request.

When using the contact form, your personal data is not disclosed to third parties.

Purpose and Legal Basis

The processing of your data through the use of our contact form is for the purpose of communication and handling your inquiry, based on your consent according to Art. 6 (1)(a) GDPR. If your inquiry relates to an existing contractual relationship with us, the processing is carried out for the purpose of contract fulfillment based on Art. 6 (1)(b) GDPR. There is no legal or contractual obligation to provide your data, but processing your inquiry without providing information in the mandatory fields is not possible. If you choose not to provide this data, please contact us using alternative means.

Storage Duration

If you use the contact form based on your consent, we store the collected data from each inquiry for a period of three years, starting from the completion of your request or until the withdrawal of your consent.

If you use the contact form within the context of a contractual relationship, we store the collected data from each inquiry for a period of three years from the end of the contractual relationship.

Applicant Contact Form

Nature and Scope of Processing

We collect and process the personal data of applicants. The processing of such data can also take place electronically, for example, when applicants submit application documents by email or through a web form on our website. On our website, we offer the option to submit applications for advertised job positions to us via email.

Storage of your data in an applicant database beyond the current application process occurs only if you have given us separate consent for this.

Purpose and Legal Basis

The processing of your data in connection with your application is for the purpose of handling your application and deciding on the establishment of an employment relationship based on § 26 BDSG. In the event of the disclosure of your application documents to third parties, especially affiliated companies, and the storage of your data beyond the current application process, the processing of your data is based on Art. 6 (1)(1)(a) GDPR. There is no legal or contractual obligation to provide your data, but the processing of your application is not possible without the provision of information.

Storage Duration

Data of applicants will be deleted after 6 months in the event of rejection. In case you have agreed to further storage of your personal data, we will include your data in our applicant pool. The data will be deleted from the pool after 24 months.

Nature and Scope of Processing

On our website, you have the option to subscribe to our company's newsletter. The personal data transmitted to us when ordering the newsletter is determined by the input mask used for this purpose. We regularly inform our customers and business partners about our offers via a newsletter. You can only receive our company's newsletter if:

You have a valid email address, and
You have registered for newsletter delivery.

For the initial newsletter subscription, a confirmation email will be sent to the email address you provided, following the double opt-in procedure for legal reasons. This confirmation email verifies that you, as the owner of the email address, have authorized the receipt of the newsletter.

Upon newsletter registration, we also store the IP address assigned by your Internet service provider (ISP) at the time of registration, as well as the date and time of registration. Collecting this data is necessary to trace (potential) misuse of your email address at a later date and serves our legal protection.

The personal data collected during newsletter registration are used exclusively for sending our newsletter. Subscribers may also be informed by email if necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or related registration, such as in the case of changes to the newsletter offering or technical changes. Personal data collected during the newsletter service are not disclosed to third parties. You can unsubscribe from our newsletter at any time. The consent to store personal data that you provided for newsletter delivery can be revoked at any time. Each newsletter contains a corresponding link for revoking consent. Additionally, you can unsubscribe directly from the newsletter delivery on our website or inform us in other ways.

Purpose and Legal Basis

We process your data for the purpose of newsletter delivery based on your consent under Art. 6 (1)(a) GDPR. By unsubscribing from the newsletter, you can declare your revocation at any time, effective for the future, under Art. 7 (3) GDPR. There is no legal or contractual obligation to provide your data, but sending the newsletter is not possible without providing your data.

Storage Duration

We store the data you provided for newsletter subscription with us or the newsletter service provider until you unsubscribe from the newsletter. After unsubscribing, your data will be deleted from the newsletter distribution list. This does not affect data stored for other purposes.

Newsletter Tracking

Our newsletters contain so-called pixel tags. A pixel tag is a miniature graphic embedded in emails sent in HTML format to enable log file recording and analysis. This allows a statistical evaluation of the success or failure of online marketing campaigns. Based on the embedded pixel tag, the company can determine whether and when an email from you was opened and which links contained in the email were accessed by you.

Purpose and Legal Basis

We store and analyze personal data collected through pixel tags in newsletters to optimize newsletter delivery and better tailor the content of future newsletters to your interests. This personal data is not disclosed to third parties. Individuals are always entitled to revoke the separate consent given through the double opt-in procedure. After revocation, we will delete this personal data. We interpret an unsubscribe from the newsletter as an automatic revocation.

Such evaluation is carried out, especially under Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR, based on our legitimate interests in displaying personalized advertising, market research, and/or designing our website to meet your needs.

Registration of a User Account

Nature and Scope of Processing

For the use of specific areas of our website, you have the option to register a user account. The information collected during registration through mandatory fields is necessary to provide access to the user account. Additionally, you may voluntarily provide additional information for supplementary (convenience) functions. The processing of your personal data for the registration of a user account is carried out exclusively in accordance with this privacy policy.

Purpose and Legal Basis

We process your data for the purpose of providing a user account to fulfill a contract with you under Art. 6 (1)(b) GDPR. There is a contractual obligation to provide your data, as this information is necessary for identifying you and fulfilling our contractual obligations. There is no legal obligation to provide the data. Without providing this information, the registration of a user account and thus the conclusion of a contract are not possible.

Furthermore, the processing of additionally voluntarily provided information is carried out for the purpose of providing further (convenience) functions based on your consent under Art. 6 (1)(a) GDPR. By deactivating the functions/deleting the voluntary information in the user account, you can declare your revocation under Art. 7 (3) GDPR at any time, effective for the future.

Storage Duration

We store your personal data in the context of providing the user account for the duration of the contractual relationship. After the end of the contract/deletion of the user account, further storage of your data only occurs if there are legal retention obligations (e.g., tax and commercial law).

Additional information provided based on your consent will only be stored until you revoke your consent by deactivating the functions/deleting the data, but no longer than until the end of the contract underlying the provision of the user account.

Presences on Social Media Platforms

We maintain so-called fan pages, accounts, or channels on the social media platforms listed below to provide you with information and offers within social networks. This enables you to contact us and learn about our offerings through additional channels. Below, we inform you about the data that we or the respective social media platform process when you access and use our fan pages/accounts.

Data We Process from You

If you wish to contact us via messenger or direct message through the respective social media platform, we typically process your username through which you contact us. We may also store additional information you provide if necessary for processing or responding to your inquiry.

The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(1)(f) GDPR (processing is necessary to fulfill the legitimate interests of the data controller).

(Static) Usage Data Received from Social Networks

We receive automatically provided statistics concerning our accounts through insights functionalities. The statistics include, among other things, the total number of page views, likes, information about page activities and post interactions, reach, video views, and information about the gender distribution among our fans/followers.

The statistics contain only aggregated data that cannot be attributed to individual persons. They are not identifiable to us in this context.

With the transmitted statistical information, we are unable to draw conclusions about individual users. We use this information solely to address the interests of our users, continually improve our online presence, and ensure its quality.

Data Processed by Social Networks from You

To view the content of our fan pages/accounts, you do not need to be a member of the respective social network, and no user account for the respective social network is required.

Please note that the social networks may collect and store data from website visitors without user accounts when accessing the respective social network (e.g., technical data to display the website) and use cookies and similar technologies, over which we have no influence. Details can be found in the privacy policies of the respective social network (see the corresponding links above).

If you want to interact with the content on our fan pages/accounts, such as commenting, sharing, or liking our posts, and/or if you want to contact us via messenger functions, prior registration with the respective social network and the provision of personal data are required.

We have no influence on the data processing by the social networks in the context of your use. To our knowledge, your data are stored and processed by the social networks, especially in connection with the provision of the services of the respective social network. Additionally, the analysis of usage behavior (using cookies, pixels/web beacons, and similar technologies) is carried out to display interest-based advertising both within and outside the respective social network. It cannot be ruled out that your data may be stored by the social networks outside the EU/EEA and shared with third parties.

Due to the fact that the actual data processing is carried out by the provider of the social network, our access to your data is limited. Only the provider of the social network is authorized to have complete access to your data. Therefore, asserting corresponding rights (request for information, deletion request, objection, etc.) is most effectively done directly with the respective provider.

Purpose and Legal Basis:

We collect your data via our profile solely to enable potential communication and interaction with us. This collection typically includes your name, message content, comment content, and the profile information you "publicly" provide.

The processing of your personal data for the mentioned purposes is based on our legitimate business and communicative interest in offering an information and communication channel, according to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. If, as a user, you have given consent to the data processing to the respective social network provider, the legal basis for processing extends to Art. 6(1)(a), Art. 7 GDPR.

Google DoubleClick

Nature and Scope of Processing

We have integrated components of Google DoubleClick on our website. DoubleClick is a brand of Google, predominantly marketing special online marketing solutions to advertising agencies and publishers. DoubleClick by Google transfers data to the DoubleClick server with each impression as well as clicks or other activities.

Each of these data transfers triggers a cookie request to the browser of the affected person. If the browser accepts this request, DoubleClick sets a cookie in your browser.

DoubleClick uses a cookie ID that is necessary for the processing of the technical procedure. The cookie ID is, for example, required to display an advertisement in a browser. DoubleClick can also use the cookie ID to determine which advertisements have already been displayed in a browser to avoid double postings. Furthermore, DoubleClick can capture conversions through the cookie ID. Conversions are recorded, for example, when a user has previously been shown a DoubleClick advertisement and subsequently makes a purchase on the advertiser's website with the same Internet browser.

A DoubleClick cookie does not contain personal data but may contain additional campaign identifiers. A campaign identifier serves to identify the campaigns with which you have already been in contact on other websites. In the context of this service, Google acquires information about data that Google also utilizes for commission billing.

Google can track, among other things, that you have clicked on certain links on our website. In this case, your data are transmitted to the operator of DoubleClick, Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

Purpose and Legal Basis

We process your data with the help of the DoubleClick cookie for the purpose of optimizing and displaying advertisements based on your consent according to Art. 6 (1)(a) GDPR and § 25 (1) TDDDG. The cookie is used, among other things, to display and show user-relevant advertising and to create or improve reports on advertising campaigns. Furthermore, the cookie is used to avoid multiple displays of the same advertisement. With each call of one of the individual pages of our website on which a DoubleClick component has been integrated, your browser is automatically prompted by the respective DoubleClick component to transmit data for the purpose of online advertising and commission settlement to Google. There is no legal or contractual obligation to provide your data. If you do not give us your consent, a visit to our website is possible without restriction, but not all functions may be fully available.

In addition, we obtain your consent, which you grant in the consent manager (or other forms, registrations, etc.), in accordance with Art. 49 (1)(1)(a) GDPR before such a transfer to a third country. We would like to point out that there may be unknown risks in detail with regard to transfers to third countries (e.g., data processing by security authorities of the third country, the exact scope of which and its consequences for you we do not know, over which we have no influence, and which you may not become aware of under certain circumstances).
