General data collection when accessing our website

Data must be collected to provide the website and the data must be stored in log files to operate the website. However, the user has no option to object. Every time ALLPLAN's website is accessed, usage data is determined by the respective Internet browser and stored in server log files. The data sets saved here contain the following data: The date and time of access, name of the site accessed, IP address, referrer URL (origin URL from which you came to the website), the transferred amount of data as well as the product and version information of the browser used.

The user’s IP addresses are deleted or anonymized after the end of usage. During an anonymization, the IP addresses are changed so that the details of personal or professional relationships can no longer be assigned to a certain or identifiable natural person or it cannot be done without a disproportionately large amount of time, money and effort.

ALLPLAN analyzes these log file data sets in anonymized form to improve the website further and make it more user-friendly, to find and correct errors faster and to control server capacities. In addition, analyzing the log files makes it possible to identify and correct errors on the website faster.

As part of the consideration of interests as per article 6 (1) lit. f GDPR, we have taken into consideration and weighed our interest in the provision and your interest in a data protection-compliant processing of your personal data. Since the data below is sometimes technically required to provide our service so that we can offer you our website and also ensure stability and safety, especially in order to offer protection against misuse, we have come to the conclusion that this data (with a state-of-the-art guarantee of data security) can be processed, whereby your interest in a data protection-compliant processing is reasonably taken into consideration.

Collection, Processing and Use of Your Personal Data

ALLPLAN strictly complies with the statutory provisions, especially the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), when collecting, processing and using your personal data. ALLPLAN collects, stores and processes your data to fully complete your registration, application or shop order, including any subsequent warranties, for services, technical administrator and their own marketing purposes.

Your personal data is only disclosed to third parties or otherwise if this is required for the purpose of contract execution or billing or you have consented otherwise. As part of the order processing, the service providers (sales partners) utilized by ALLPLAN, for example, will receive the necessary data for the order processing. The data disclosed in this way may only be used by service providers to fulfill their task. Any other use of the information is not permitted.

For registration, ALLPLAN requires your correct name and address information. Additional payment information is required for your shop order. Your e-mail address is required so that ALLPLAN can confirm the registration or order entry, provide services (e.g. product downloads) and communicate with you. In addition, the e-mail address is required for identification (customer login).

Your personal data is then deleted if not opposed by retention obligations and if you have made a claim for deletion if the data is no longer required for the purpose intended with the data storage or if its storage is not permitted for other legal reasons.

The following personal data is generally collected and stored as part of the provision of services by ALLPLAN: Address data (name and address), email address as well as optionally the telephone number.

Personal data is also used to:

  • provide content requiring registration, including product downloads, webinars, shop orders;
  • conduct market research and provide information about news, offers and promotions, if consent for this was granted;
  • improve services on the website for users, which measure the interest in different services,

Secure data transmission

Your personal data is securely transmitted at ALLPLAN through encryption. This applies to all form processes (including registration, application, ordering). ALLPLAN uses the coding system SSL (Secure Socket Layer). However, no one can guarantee absolute protection. ALLPLAN uses technical and organizational measures to protect its website and other systems from loss, destruction, access, modification or dissemination of your data by unauthorized persons.

Disclosure of Data

Your personal data is not sent to third parties for purposes other than those listed.

We only disclose your personal data to third parties if:

  • you have given your express consent to do so,
  • the disclosure is required to assert, exercise or defend legal claims and there is no reason to assume that you have a predominant legitimate interest in the non-disclosure of your data,
  • in the event that there is a legal obligation to disclose, as well as
  • this is legally permissible and is required to implement contractual relationships with you.

The high European level of data protection generally does not exist for data transmission outside of the European Union. During data transmission, it may occur that there is currently no adequacy decision of the EU Commission in the sense of article 45 (1) (3) GDPR. In other words, the EU Commission has so far not positively determined that the country-specific data protection level corresponds to the data protection level of the European Union based on the GDPR, which is why we have created the aforementioned appropriate guarantees.

Possible risks that cannot be completely ruled out in connection with the data transfer in particular are:

  • Your personal data could possibly be processed beyond its intended purpose.
  • In addition, it is possible that you may not be able to sustainably assert or enforce your data protection rights, such as your right to information, correction, deletion or data transferability.
  • There may also be a greater likelihood that there can be an incorrect data processing and the protection of the personal data does not fully quantitatively and qualitatively correspond to the requirements of the GDPR.

 

Briefing on the rights of the party concerned

Each party concerned has the right to information as per article 15 GDPR, the right to correction as per article 16 GDPR, the right to deletion as per article 17 GDPR, the right to restriction of processing as per article 18 GDPR, the right to object as per article 21 GDPR as well as the right to data transferability as per article 20 GDPR. The restrictions as per §§ 34 and 35 BDSG [Federal Data Protection Act] apply for the right to information and the right to deletion.

 

Briefing on the option to complain

You also have the right to complain to the competent data supervisory authority about our processing of your personal data.

 

Briefing on the revocation of consent

You can always revoke your consent given to us to process personal data. This also applies to the revocation of declarations of consent, which have been given to us before the General Data Protection Regulation came into effect, i.e. before May 25, 2018. Please note that this revocation only be effective for the future. It does not affect processing that has occurred prior to the revocation.

 

Rights in the event of data processing for direct mail advertising

As per article 21 (2) GDPR, you have the right to object to the processing of personal data concerning you at any time. If you do object to the processing for the purposes of direct mail advertising, we will no longer process your personal data for these purposes. Please note that this objection only be effective for the future. It does not affect processing that has occurred prior to the objection.

 

Note on the right to object in the case of a consideration of interests

If we base the processing of your personal data on a consideration of interests, you can object to the processing. If such an objection is exercised, we ask you to explain the reasons why we should not process your personal data as we have described it. In the case of your justified objection, we will check the situation and either stop or adjust the data processing or explain to you our compelling legitimate reasons.

 

Links to other websites

Our websites may contain links to websites of other providers. Please note that this privacy policy only applies to the websites of ALLPLAN Deutschland GmbH. We have no influence over this and do not control whether other providers comply with the applicable data protection regulations.

 

Changes to the privacy policy

We reserve the right to modify or adjust this privacy policy at any time while observing the applicable data protection regulations.
