For analyzes, statistical evaluations, targeting and retargeting, e.g. to show you advertising, we use products from other providers on this website, based on what is known as cookie technology, among other things. This is also done on the basis of your consent in accordance with Section 15 (3) sentence 1 of the German Telemedia Act in conjunction with Article 5 (3) sentence 1 of the ePrivacy Directive.

3. Which personal data are processed?

We process the data that we need for the purposes stated in this data protection declaration. If you are a registered user, we process your name, your function and position in the company, your job title, your field of activity, the branch of your company, the markets in which your company is or would like to be active. In addition, your address and the contact details, at which we can also reach you electronically if necessary. If you are already a customer, we save all accounting data that we need to invoice our services, possibly including your bank details, your conditions with us and tax-relevant data.

If you as the author (e.g. in accordance with Section 5.2 of our General Terms of Use for registered users as so-called contributor users) write contributions for us, we process your contributions, authorship and information and communication with you related to the execution of the contract. We are also obliged by copyright to publish your name as the author, unless you have expressly waived your name. This applies to all types of use and media mentioned in Section 5.3.7 of the General Terms of Use for registered users on which the contribution is published.

To optimize our offers, we may also save data that is publicly available on the Internet about your company, for example, or compare the currentness of your data with data from suitable, freely available databases.

In addition, we collect data about your interests, which we derive from your inquiries and the use of our online portals, because our goal is to only make you offers that correspond to your wishes and interests. If we use technical processes for this purpose, e.g. based on cookie technology, you can find further information and your existing rights in this regard in the section on cookie declaration.

As part of the success measurement of our editorial newsletters (see section Editorial newsletters (e.g. by email) and email success measurement), we process the information about which news and offers you open and click on. This is also part of the contractual services that we offer you, e.g. on the basis of our general terms of use for registered users.

Some data are also transmitted automatically (especially technical usage data). Your computer automatically provides us with information such as IP address, browser type or access times when you use our online portals. We need this data for the optimal presentation of our online offers on your hardware.

4. Duration of storage of your personal data

We store your data for as long as this is necessary for the provision of our services or the execution of the contract to you or we have a legitimate interest in further storage.

Insofar as the processing takes place on the basis of your consent or on the basis of one of our legitimate interests, the data in question will no longer be processed for the associated purpose after receipt of your revocation or objection and, if necessary, deleted, unless there are statutory exceptions. Regardless of this, the data that are subject to commercial or tax retention requirements will only be deleted after the statutory deadlines have expired. Finally, the storage period is also assessed according to the statutory limitation periods, which, for example, according to §§ 195 ff. Of the German Civil Code (BGB) can be up to thirty years, whereby the regular limitation period is three years.

Under certain circumstances, your data must also be kept longer, e.g. if a ban on data deletion is ordered for the duration of the proceedings in connection with an official or judicial process.

Information on the storage duration of the cookies we use can be found in the cookie statement.

5. Recipients of the data

The data is processed centrally at we.CONECT Global Leaders GmbH, Reichenberger 124, 10999, Berlin and used in joint responsibility with the companies involved for the purposes stated in the Purposes and legal bases section.
Please address your rights mentioned in the section “Exercising your rights” to we.CONECT Global Leaders GmbH using the contact options given in the section responsible and data protection officer or at https://privacy.we-conect.com/

6. Order processing

In some cases, we are supported in data processing by service providers who process personal data on our behalf. We have bound these service providers to us through an order processing contract in such a way that they are only allowed to process the data for our business purposes and on the basis of our instructions. The service providers primarily include technical service providers (including affiliated companies) for the maintenance, hosting and support of our IT infrastructure, including this website, as well as service providers for mailings, lead campaigns and other marketing activities.

7. Tracking and other cookie technology service providers

Tracking und weitere auf der Cookie-Technologie basierende und auf unseren Webseiten implementierte technische Verfahren werden durch Drittanbieter erbracht und in diesem Zusammenhang auch Daten an diese Drittanbieter weitergeben. Informationen zu den eingesetzten Cookie-Verfahren und den entsprechenden Drittanbietern, die die technischen Tools anbieten, können Sie dem Abschnitt Cookie Erklärung entnehmen.

8. Passing on your data to third parties

With your consent, we also pass on your data to those customers whose services you have accessed on one of our online portals (e.g. the whitepaper of a specific manufacturer). When you call up the service, we point out which company it is and with the download you can decide whether you consent to the use of your data by this company and download this third-party offer. These companies are themselves responsible in terms of data protection law. This information is only passed on for the purposes of advertising, market research or opinion polls.

Articles and other published information about the authors can be called up by registered users worldwide. If the contributions are published in digital media, they can be found using search engines and linked to other information, from which personality profiles of the authors can possibly be created. Insofar as you consent to publications, the content can “multiply” further by dividing the original publication without us having any influence on the distribution activities by users and can be used for purposes that we cannot control.

9. Data transfer to third countries

As a rule, we do not transfer your data to other countries or third countries (countries that are neither members of the European Union nor the European Economic Area) or to international organizations. A transfer of data to third countries can take place as an exception, as far as this is necessary for the execution of services for you, is legally required or you have given us your consent. Some of the service providers who process personal data on our behalf are located in third countries that do not have the same level of protection for your personal data as in the EU, be it due to a lack of laws, a lack of rights or a lack of supervision in these countries. Some recipients, in particular the providers of social media channels or registered users who process your data, are also located in such third countries. The transfer of personal data to such third countries outside the EU only takes place if the European Commission has adopted a so-called adequacy decision (Art. 45 (3) GDPR) (see here) or guarantees in accordance with Art. 46 GDPR are, in particular, standard data protection clauses issued by the European Commission in accordance with Art 46 Paragraph 2 Letter c GDPR (see here). You can receive a copy of this on request (e.g. by e-mail) – for contact details see the section responsible and data protection officer above or at https://privacy.we-conect.com/ .

Information on any transfers of your data to third countries can also be found in the data protection regulations of the recipients who carry out a third country transfer. You can also find information on this under Advanced settings of our cookie management tool, in which our cookie-based processing is described.

12. Further special agreements

Editorial newsletters (e.g. by email) and email success measurement: You can subscribe to free editorial newsletters on our website. The data requested by you during registration will be transmitted to us:

1. First name, surname

2. Company name

3. Business email address

4. Job title

5. Telephone number

6. Further information if necessary

In addition, the following technical data is usually collected when registering:

1. IP address of the calling computer

2. Date and time of registration

For the processing of the data, your consent is obtained during registration and reference is made to this data protection declaration. You can access the exact content of the declaration of consent and further information on your consent here.

The legal basis for the processing of the data after registration by the user is the fulfillment of the contract in accordance with Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Letter b GDPR, otherwise the consent of the user (Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Letter a GDPR). The same applies to the dispatch of the editorial newsletter; The additional legal basis here is Section 7 (2) No. 3 UWG.

The purpose of collecting your email address is to deliver the newsletter. The collection of other personal data during the registration process serves to prevent misuse of the services or the email address used.

Right of revocation with regard to subscription to the newsletter You can revoke your subscription to editorial newsletters and any consent you have given in this regard at any time. For this purpose, there is a corresponding link in every editorial newsletter with which it can be unsubscribed. Alternatively, you can unsubscribe using our contact form https://www.we-conect.com/newsletter-unsubscribe/, or you can unsubscribe from receiving individual newsletters in your account settings (eg under “My Account”), if this is the case on the portal on which you have registered and from which you will receive editorial newsletters by e-mail. The revocation does not affect the legality of the data processing carried out on the basis of the consent until the revocation.

In our editorial newsletters, success is measured with an evaluation of the opening rate of the e-mails and a click evaluation within this. We use this technique to determine the level of interest in certain topics and to measure the effectiveness of our communication measures. We use the evaluated data from the performance measurement to fulfill our contractual obligation to provide you with a personalized user experience in our media world on the basis of the user contract that you conclude with us when you register for our services (see section Purposes and legal bases). In this case, the legal basis is Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR. Insofar as the evaluation does not serve to fulfill the contract, the legal basis is our legitimate interest in the evaluation according to Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Letter f GDPR.

Right of objection with regard to success measurement By exercising your right of revocation with regard to consent given to receiving editorial newsletters (see above), you can also object to the processing of your data for the purposes of success measurement. In addition, you can terminate the user contract on which the registration for our services is based at any time or, if you are a consumer, revoke it within 14 days of the conclusion of the contract (for details, please refer to the relevant terms of use for the respective service). In the event of cancellation or consumer withdrawal, we will completely delete your user account with your data, with the exception of the data, which are subject to a statutory retention requirement, and at the same time stop measuring success.

The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer required to achieve the purpose for which they were collected or if you exercise your right of withdrawal. Your email address will therefore be stored as long as the subscription to editorial newsletters is active.
