2. Hosting

External Hosting

This website is hosted by an exter­nal service provi­der (hoster). The perso­nal data coll­ec­ted on this website is stored on the hoster’s servers. These may include IP addres­ses, cont­act requests, meta and commu­ni­ca­tion data, contract data, cont­act data, names, website acces­ses and other data gene­ra­ted via a website. The hoster is used for the purpose of fulfil­ling the contract with our poten­tial and exis­ting custo­mers (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR) and in the inte­rest of a secure, fast and effi­ci­ent provi­sion of our online offer by a profes­sio­nal provi­der (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR).

Order processing

We have concluded a contract for order proces­sing (DPA) with the above-mentio­ned provi­der. This is a contract prescri­bed by data protec­tion law, which ensu­res that it proces­ses the perso­nal data of our website visi­tors only in accordance with our instruc­tions and in compli­ance with the GDPR. 

3. General notes and mandatory information

Privacy

The opera­tors of these pages take the protec­tion of your perso­nal data very seriously. We treat your perso­nal data confi­den­ti­ally and in accordance with the statu­tory data protec­tion regu­la­ti­ons and this data protec­tion decla­ra­tion. When you use this website, various perso­nal data is coll­ec­ted. Perso­nal data is data with which you can be perso­nally iden­ti­fied. This privacy policy explains what data we coll­ect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this is done. We would like to point out that data trans­mis­sion on the Inter­net (e.B. when commu­ni­ca­ting by e‑mail) may have secu­rity gaps. A complete protec­tion of the data against access by third parties is not possible.

Note on the responsible body

The party respon­si­ble for data proces­sing on this website is: Cube Consul­ting Carl U. Bauer Lange Horst 32 45527 Hattin­gen Phone: +49 151 5076 9595 E‑Mail: cube@cube-consulting.eu Respon­si­ble body is the natu­ral or legal person who alone or jointly with others deci­des on the purpo­ses and means of proces­sing perso­nal data (e.B names, e‑mail addres­ses, etc.).

Storage period

Unless a more speci­fic storage period has been speci­fied in this data protec­tion decla­ra­tion, your perso­nal data will remain with us until the purpose for data proces­sing ceases to apply. If you make a legi­ti­mate request for dele­tion or revoke your consent to data proces­sing, your data will be dele­ted unless we have other legally permis­si­ble reasons for storing your perso­nal data (e.B. tax or commer­cial reten­tion peri­ods); in the latter case, the dele­tion takes place after these reasons have ceased to exist.

Note on data transfer to the USA and other third countries

Among other things, we use tools from compa­nies based in the USA or other third count­ries that are not secure under data protec­tion law. If these tools are active, your perso­nal data may be trans­fer­red to and proces­sed in these third count­ries. We would like to point out that in these count­ries no level of data protec­tion compa­ra­ble to that of the EU can be guaran­teed. For exam­ple, US compa­nies are obli­ged to hand over perso­nal data to secu­rity autho­ri­ties without you as a data subject being able to take legal action against this. It can ther­e­fore not be ruled out that US autho­ri­ties (e.B secret services) process, evaluate and perma­nently store your data on US servers for surveil­lance purpo­ses. We have no influence on these proces­sing activities.

Revocation of your consent to data processing

Many data proces­sing opera­ti­ons are only possi­ble with your express consent. You can revoke your consent at any time. The lega­lity of the data proces­sing carried out until the revo­ca­tion remains unaf­fec­ted by the revocation.

Right to object to data collection in special cases as well as to direct marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)

THE RESPECTIVE LEGAL BASIS ON WHICH PROCESSING IS BASED CAN BE FOUND IN THIS DATA PROTECTION DECLARATION. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA CONCERNED UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING WHICH OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS OR FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE OR DEFENCE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ARTICLE 21 (1) GDPR). IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA CONCERNING YOU FOR THE PURPOSE OF SUCH ADVERTISING; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING INSOFAR AS IT IS ASSOCIATED WITH SUCH DIRECT ADVERTISING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL THEN NO LONGER BE USED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT MARKETING (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21 PARA. 2 GDPR).

In the event of viola­ti­ons of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a super­vi­sory autho­rity, in parti­cu­lar in the Member State of their habi­tual resi­dence, their place of work or the place of the alle­ged infrin­ge­ment. The right to lodge a complaint is without preju­dice to any other admi­nis­tra­tive or judi­cial remedy.

Right to data portability

You have the right to have data that we process auto­ma­ti­cally on the basis of your consent or in fulfilm­ent of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a common, machine-reada­ble format. If you request the direct trans­fer of the data to another control­ler, this will only take place to the extent that it is tech­ni­cally feasible.

SSL or TLS encryption

This site uses SSL or TLS encryp­tion for secu­rity reasons and to protect the trans­mis­sion of confi­den­tial content, such as orders or inqui­ries that you send to us as the site opera­tor. You can reco­gnize an encrypted connec­tion by the fact that the address line of the brow­ser chan­ges from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your brow­ser line. If SSL or TLS encryp­tion is acti­va­ted, the data you trans­mit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Information, deletion and correction

Within the frame­work of the appli­ca­ble legal provi­si­ons, you have the right at any time to free infor­ma­tion about your stored perso­nal data, their origin and reci­pi­ent and the purpose of the data proces­sing and, if neces­sary, a right to correc­tion or dele­tion of this data. You can cont­act us at any time if you have any further ques­ti­ons on the subject of perso­nal data.

Right to restriction of processing

You have the right to request the rest­ric­tion of the proces­sing of your perso­nal data. You can cont­act us at any time. The right to rest­ric­tion of proces­sing exists in the follo­wing cases:

  • If you dispute the accu­racy of your perso­nal data stored with us, we usually need time to verify this. For the dura­tion of the audit, you have the right to request the rest­ric­tion of the proces­sing of your perso­nal data.
  • If the proces­sing of your perso­nal data was/is unlawful, you can request the rest­ric­tion of data proces­sing instead of deletion.
  • If we no longer need your perso­nal data, but you need it to exer­cise, defend or assert legal claims, you have the right to request the rest­ric­tion of the proces­sing of your perso­nal data instead of deletion.
  • If you have filed an objec­tion pursu­ant to Article 21 (1) GDPR, a balance must be struck between your inte­rests and ours. As long as it is not yet clear whose inte­rests prevail, you have the right to request the rest­ric­tion of the proces­sing of your perso­nal data.

If you have rest­ric­ted the proces­sing of your perso­nal data, this data may only be proces­sed – apart from its storage – with your consent or for the estab­lish­ment, exer­cise or defence of legal claims or for the protec­tion of the rights of another natu­ral or legal person or for reasons of important public inte­rest of the Euro­pean Union or a Member State.

Objection to advertising e‑mails

The use of cont­act data published within the scope of the imprint obli­ga­tion for the purpose of sending unso­li­ci­ted adver­ti­sing and infor­ma­tion mate­ri­als is hereby rejec­ted. The opera­tors of the pages expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of the unso­li­ci­ted sending of adver­ti­sing infor­ma­tion, such as spam e‑mails.

Matomo

This website uses the open source web analy­sis service Matomo. Matomo uses tech­no­lo­gies that enable the cross-page reco­gni­tion of the user for the analy­sis of user beha­vior (e.B. cookies or device finger­prin­ting). The infor­ma­tion coll­ec­ted by Matomo about the use of this website is stored on our server. The IP address is anony­mi­zed before storage. With the help of Matomo, we are able to coll­ect and analyze data about the use of our website by website visi­tors. This allows us to find out, among other things, when which page views were made and from which region they come. In addi­tion, we coll­ect various log files (e.B IP address, refer­rer, brow­sers and opera­ting systems used) and can measure whether our website visi­tors perform certain actions (e.B clicks, purcha­ses, etc.). This analy­sis tool is used on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. f GDPR. The website opera­tor has a legi­ti­mate inte­rest in the anony­mous analy­sis of user beha­viour in order to opti­mise both its website and its adver­ti­sing. If a corre­spon­ding consent has been reques­ted (e.B. consent to the storage of cookies), the proces­sing takes place exclu­si­vely on the basis of Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR. a GDPR; the consent can be revo­ked at any time.

IP anonymization

When analy­zing with Matomo, we use IP anony­miza­tion. Your IP address is shor­tened before the analy­sis, so that it can no longer be clearly assi­gned to you.

Hosting

We host Matomo exclu­si­vely on our own servers, so that all analy­sis data remains with us and is not passed on.
