Privacy policy

    We are very pleased about your interest in our company. Data protection has a particularly high priority for comscoot GmbH. The use of the comscoot GmbH website is possible without any indication of personal data. However, if a data subject wants to use special enterprise services via our website, processing of personal data could become necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we generally obtain the consent of the data subject.

    The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, e-mail address, or telephone number of a data subject shall always be in line with the General Data Protection Regulation and in accordance with the data protection provisions applicable to comscoot GmbH. By means of this privacy policy, our company would like to inform the public about the nature, scope and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process. Furthermore, data subjects are informed of their rights by means of this data protection declaration.

    As the controller, comscoot GmbH has implemented numerous technical and organisational measures to ensure the most complete protection of personal data processed through this website. Nevertheless, Internet-based data transmissions can always have security gaps, so that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to submit personal data to us by alternative means, for example by telephone.

    1. definitions

    The data protection declaration of comscoot GmbH is based on the terms used by the European Parliament and the Council for the adoption of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our privacy policy should be easy to read and understand for the public as well as for our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to explain the terms used in advance.
    We use the following terms, among others, in this privacy policy:

    (a) personal data
    Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter “data subject”). An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.

    (b) person concerned
    Data subject means any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data are processed by the controller.

    c) Processing
    Processing is any operation or set of operations which is performed upon personal data, whether or not by automatic means, such as collection, recording, organisation, filing, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.

    (d) restriction of processing
    Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting their future processing.

    e) Profiling
    Profiling is any form of automated processing of personal data which consists in using such personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyse or predict aspects relating to that natural person’s performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, location or change of location.

    f) Pseudonymisation
    Pseudonymisation is the processing of personal data in such a way that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organisational measures which ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.

    g) Controller or person responsible for processing
    The controller or person responsible for processing is the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which alone or jointly with others determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data. Where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union or Member State law, the controller or the specific criteria for its designation may be provided for under Union or Member State law.

    (h) Processors
    Processor means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.

    i) Recipient
    Recipient means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body to whom personal data are disclosed, whether or not a third party. However, authorities that may receive personal data in the context of a specific investigation mandate under Union or Member State law shall not be considered as recipients.

    j) Third party
    Third party means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body other than the data subject, the controller, the processor and the persons authorised to process the personal data under the direct responsibility of the controller or the processor.

    k) Consent
    Consent shall mean any freely given specific and informed indication of the data subject’s wishes in the form of a statement or other unambiguous affirmative act by which the data subject signifies his or her agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her.

    comscoot GmbH
    Südbahnweg 17-19, 8403 Lebring
    Phone: +43 (750) 22 70 60
    E-Mail: [email protected]
    Website: https://www.comscoot.com

    3. Cookies

    The internet pages of comscoot GmbH use cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored on a computer system via an internet browser.
    Many websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a string of characters by which Internet pages and servers can be assigned to the specific Internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This enables the websites and servers visited to distinguish the individual browser of the person concerned from other internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific internet browser can be recognised and identified via the unique cookie ID.
    Through the use of cookies, the comscoot GmbH can provide the users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the cookie setting.
    By means of a cookie, the information and offers on our website can be optimised in the interests of the user. Cookies enable us, as already mentioned, to recognise the users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to use our website. For example, the user of a website that uses cookies does not have to re-enter his or her access data each time he or she visits the website because this is done by the website and the cookie stored on the user’s computer system. Another example is the cookie of a shopping basket in the online shop. The online shop remembers the items that a customer has placed in the virtual shopping basket via a cookie.
    The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of an appropriate setting of the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Furthermore, cookies that have already been set can be deleted at any time via an internet browser or other software programmes. This is possible in all common internet browsers. If the data subject deactivates the setting of cookies in the Internet browser used, not all functions of our website may be fully usable.

    To manage the cookies and similar technologies used (tracking pixels, web beacons, etc.) and related consents, we use the consent tool “Real Cookie Banner”. Details on how “Real Cookie Banner” works can be found at <a href=”https://devowl.io/de/rcb/datenverarbeitung/” rel=”noreferrer” target=”_blank”>https://devowl.io/de/rcb/datenverarbeitung/</a>.

    Legal bases for the processing of personal data in this context are Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c DS-GVO and Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest is to manage the cookies and similar technologies used and the related consents.

    The provision of personal data is neither contractually required nor necessary for the conclusion of a contract. You are not obliged to provide the personal data. If you do not provide the personal information, we will not be able to manage your consents.

    4. collection of general data and information

    The website of the comscoot GmbH collects a series of general data and information whenever a data subject or automated system calls up the website. This general data and information is stored in the server’s log files. The following data may be collected: (1) the browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system accesses our website (so-called referrer), (4) the sub-websites which are accessed via an accessing system on our website, (5) the date and time of access to the website, (6) an Internet protocol address (IP address), (7) the Internet service provider of the accessing system and (8) other similar data and information that serve to avert danger in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.
    When using these general data and information, the comscoot GmbH does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. This information is rather required in order to (1) correctly deliver the content of our website, (2) optimise the content of our website as well as the advertising for it, (3) ensure the permanent functionality of our information technology systems and the technology of our website as well as (4) to provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for prosecution in the event of a cyber attack. Therefore, the comscoot GmbH analyzes anonymously collected data and information on one hand for statistical purposes and on the other hand for the purpose of increasing the data protection and data security of our enterprise, with the aim of ensuring an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from any personal data provided by a data subject.

    5. how to contact us via the website

    The website of comscoot GmbH contains legal information that enables a quick electronic contact to our company as well as direct communication with us, which also includes a general address of the so-called electronic mail (e-mail address). If a data subject contacts the controller by e-mail or via a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject are automatically stored. Such personal data provided on a voluntary basis by a data subject to the controller shall be stored for the purposes of processing or contacting the data subject. This personal data will not be passed on to third parties.

    6. routine deletion and blocking of personal data

    The controller shall process and store personal data of the data subject only for the time necessary to achieve the purpose of storage or where provided for by the European Directive and Regulation or other legislator in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject.
    If the purpose of storage no longer applies or if a storage period prescribed by the European Directive and Regulation or another competent legislator expires, the personal data will be routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with the statutory provisions.

    If the personal data has been made public by comscoot GmbH and our company is the responsible party pursuant to Art. 17 Para. 1 DSGVO to erase personal data, comscoot GmbH shall, taking into account the available technology and the cost of implementation, implement reasonable measures, including technical measures, to inform other data controllers which process the published personal data, that the data subject has requested from those other data controllers to erase all links to or copies or replications of the personal data, unless the processing is necessary. The employee of comscoot GmbH will arrange for the necessary action to be taken in individual cases.

    e) Right to restriction of processing

    8. privacy policy on the use and application of Google Analytics (with anonymisation function)

    The controller has integrated the Google Analytics component (with anonymisation function) on this website. Google Analytics is a web analysis service. Web analysis is the collection, collation and evaluation of data on the behaviour of visitors to websites. Among other things, a web analysis service collects data on which website a data subject came to a website from (so-called referrer), which sub-pages of the website were accessed or how often and for how long a sub-page was viewed. A web analysis is mainly used to optimise a website and to analyse the cost-benefit of internet advertising.
    The operator of the Google Analytics component is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.
    The controller uses the addition “_gat._anonymizeIp” for web analysis via Google Analytics. By means of this addition, the IP address of the internet connection of the person concerned is shortened and anonymised by Google if access to our internet pages takes place from a member state of the European Union or from another state party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.
    The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyse the flow of visitors to our website. Google will use the data and information collected for the purpose of evaluating your use of our website, compiling reports on website activity for website operators and providing other services relating to website activity.
    Google Analytics sets a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. What cookies are has already been explained above. By setting the cookie, Google is enabled to analyse the use of our website. Each time a data subject accesses one of the individual pages of this website operated by the data controller on which a Google Analytics component has been integrated, the internet browser on the data subject’s information technology system is automatically triggered by the respective Google Analytics component to transmit data to Google for the purpose of online analysis. As part of this technical procedure, Google obtains knowledge of personal data, such as the IP address of the person concerned, which Google uses, among other things, to trace the origin of visitors and clicks and subsequently to enable commission calculations.
    By means of the cookie, personal information, for example the access time, the place from which an access originated and the frequency of visits to our website by the data subject, is stored. Each time you visit our website, this personal data, including the IP address of the internet connection used by the data subject, is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may share this personal data collected through the technical process with third parties.
    The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website, as already described above, at any time by means of an appropriate setting of the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the internet browser used would also prevent Google from setting a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. In addition, a cookie already set by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time via the internet browser or other software programs.
    Furthermore, the data subject has the option to object to the collection of data generated by Google Analytics and related to the use of this website as well as to the processing of this data by Google and to prevent such processing. For this purpose, the data subject must install a browser add-on at the link https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptoutherunterladen. This browser add-on tells Google Analytics via JavaScript that no data and information about visits to Internet pages may be transmitted to Google Analytics. The installation of the browser add-on is considered by Google as an objection. If the information technology system of the data subject is deleted, formatted or reinstalled at a later point in time, the data subject must reinstall the browser add-on in order to deactivate Google Analytics. If the browser add-on is uninstalled or deactivated by the data subject or another person within his or her control, it is possible to reinstall or reactivate the browser add-on.
    Further information and Google’s applicable privacy policy can be found athttps://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/und at http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.htmlabgerufen. Google Analytics is explained under this link https://www.google.com/intl/de_de/analytics/genauer.

    If you do not want Google to receive data from your browser when you call up the pages, you can find the link to the opt-out solution for Google Analytics here: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de, This plug-in prevents the browser from requesting the Analytics code so that Google does not receive any data when the page is called up. The plug-in is only available for Internet Explorer 7 and 8, Firefox 3.x and Chrome. According to Google, the browser blocks the Google Analytics script after installation. For more information on terms of use and data protection, please visit http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.htmlbzw. at http://www.google.com/intl/de/analytics/privacyoverview.html.
    This website uses the “demographic characteristics” function of Google Analytics. This allows reports to be created that contain statements about the age, gender and interests of the site visitors. This data comes from interest-based advertising from Google and visitor data from third-party providers. This data cannot be assigned to a specific person. You can deactivate this function at any time via the ad settings in your Google account or generally prohibit the collection of your data by Google Analytics as shown in the item “Objection to data collection”.

    8.2 Google Remarketing

This is a retargeting technology that allows us to retarget visitors to our website through targeted advertising on the websites of the Google advertising network. The insertion of advertising takes place through the use of so-called cookies.
    For this purpose, cookies are placed on your computer, which third-party providers, including Google, use to record which of our websites have been visited with your browser. With the help of this information, our advertisements can then be presented to you at a later time on other websites, e.g. within the scope of Google search or on websites of the Google network. Further information on data protection at Google and on how remarketing works can be found at: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/. You can also deactivate the storage of cookies here through the settings of your browser and/or object to the collection within the scope of Google Remarketing through the https://www.google.com/policies/technologies/ads/widersprechen.

    8.3 Google AdWords
    comscoot GmbH nutzt zudem Google Conversion Tracking, einen Analysedienst der Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; “Google”). Google AdWords sets a cookie on your computer (“conversion cookie”) if you have accessed our website via a Google ad. These cookies lose their validity after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. If you visit certain pages of ours and the cookie has not yet expired, we and Google can recognise that someone has clicked on the ad and thus been redirected to our page. Each AdWords customer receives a different cookie. Cookies can therefore not be tracked via the websites of AdWords customers. The information collected using the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. AdWords customers learn the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page tagged with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information with which users can be personally identified.
    If you do not wish to participate in tracking, you can object to this use by preventing the installation of cookies through a corresponding setting in your browser software (deactivation option). They will then not be included in the conversion tracking statistics. For more information on terms of use and data protection, please visit: http://www.google.de/policies/privacy/.

    9. legal basis of the processing

    Art. 6 I lit. a DSGVO serves as the legal basis for our company for processing operations in which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, as is the case, for example, with processing operations that are necessary for the delivery of goods or the provision of another service or consideration, the processing is based on Article 6 I lit. b DSGVO. The same applies to processing operations that are necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, for example in the case of enquiries about our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation by which the processing of personal data becomes necessary, such as for the fulfilment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. c DSGVO. In rare cases, the processing of personal data might become necessary to protect vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were to be injured on our premises and as a result their name, age, health insurance details or other vital information needed to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. Then the processing would be based on Art. 6 I lit. d DSGVO. Ultimately, processing operations could be based on Art. 6 I lit. f DSGVO. Processing operations which are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases are based on this legal basis if the processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject are not overridden. We are permitted to carry out such processing operations in particular because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this respect, he took the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the controller (recital 47, second sentence of the GDPR).

    10. legitimate interests in the processing pursued by the controller or a third party

    If the processing of personal data is based on Article 6 I lit. f DSGVO, our legitimate interest is the conduct of our business for the benefit of the welfare of all our employees and our shareholders.

    11. duration for which the personal data are stored

    The criterion for the duration of the storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After expiry of the deadline, the corresponding data is routinely deleted if it is no longer required for the fulfilment or initiation of the contract.

    12. legal or contractual requirements to provide the personal data; necessity for the conclusion of the contract; obligation of the data subject to provide the personal data; possible consequences of not providing the data

    We would like to inform you that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or may also result from contractual regulations (e.g. information on the contractual partner). Sometimes, in order to conclude a contract, it may be necessary for a data subject to provide us with personal data which must subsequently be processed by us. For example, the data subject is obliged to provide us with personal data if our company concludes a contract with him or her. Failure to provide the personal data would mean that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded. Before providing personal data by the data subject, the data subject must contact one of our employees. Our employee will inform the data subject on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of the personal data is required by law or contract or is necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data and what the consequences of not providing the personal data would be.

    13. existence of automated decision making

    As a responsible company, we do not use automatic decision-making or profiling.

    14. improving interaction

    To improve the interaction with our visitors, we use a Java-Script plugin from uptain GmbH (“uptain-Plugin” https://www.uptain.de). This allows us to analyse your use of the website and improve our customer approach (e.g. through a dialogue window). For this purpose, we collect information about your usage behaviour, i.e. movement of the cursor, length of stay, links clicked on and, if applicable, information provided. The legal basis of the processing is our legitimate interest in direct marketing and the provision of our website (Art. 6 para. 1 lit f DSGVO). As a processor, uptain GmbH is strictly bound by our instructions. The information collected will not be disclosed to third parties unless we are required to do so by law. Insofar as the information collected by the uptain plugin contains personal data, this is deleted immediately after your visit to our website.

    You can deactivate the use of the uptain plugin at any time via the following link: https://www.comscoot.com/datenschutz?__up_tracking_unsubscribe
