Privacy Policy

In the course of using our website, your personal data (hereinafter only “data”) are processed. The data may include, for example, your name, address, e-mail address and other personal details. Any processing in this context basically represents any way of handling these data.

 

In the following you will therefore receive information on the processing of your data within the scope of its use by GWT-TUD GmbH on the basis of the provisions of the Basic Data Protection Regulation (DS-GVO) as well as the applicable federal and state data protection laws.

A Purpose and legal basis of our data processing

  1. Registration
    You can use our website to register with us. It is not possible to create a user profile without entering the mandatory data specified during registration. The legal basis for the processing of this data is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 b) DSGVO, as the processing is necessary for the execution of the contract existing between you and us.
  2. Extension of the user profile
    You then have the option of voluntarily providing further data and storing this data with us in order to use it in the context of using our services. The legal basis for the processing of this data is your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 a) DSGVO.
  3. History of use
    Within the scope of the contract with you, we also process data in order to show you uses from the recent past that have already taken place and to make corresponding proposals for further uses, including the services of partners. The legal basis for the processing of this data is also Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 b) DSGVO, as the processing is necessary for the execution of the contract existing between you and us.
  4. Newsletter
    We also process data in order to send you e-mails based on your consent to the sending of newsletters. The legal basis for the processing of this data is your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 a) DSGVO.

If you register for the newsletter on the website, you give us your consent to the regular sending of the newsletter, which can be revoked at any time. This consent is granted until it is revoked.

 

  1. Contact form
    The website provides a contact form for making contact. The data entered here will be stored on the server of the hosting provider, insofar as personal data is involved, and then forwarded by e-mail to the designated receiving mailbox. The forwarding of the data takes place exclusively within the server, so that a risk to the confidentiality of the data is effectively excluded. The legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 b) DSGVO.

 

The legal basis for the collection of the name differs from this in Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 f) DSGVO. The legitimate interest in this is a more personal approach to the inquirer.

 

Consent to the processing of further data from the contact form

In addition to the required mandatory data, you have the possibility to send us further contact information. In this respect, this is voluntary information for the processing of which you give us your consent with this information. The consent includes the processing of the same scope as that listed for the mandatory information.

This data will not be passed on to third parties. The data will be used exclusively for the processing of the inquiry. The legal basis for processing the data is Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Sentence 1 f DSGVO. The legitimate interest in the processing of the data lies in the execution of the contact. The data will be deleted once the purpose of the contact has ceased to exist or the communication has ended. If in the course of communication an offer process takes place, the processed data will be deleted after the expiry of the retention periods provided for this purpose.
  1. IT security
    Finally, we also process data in your and our interest in order to guarantee the integrity, confidentiality and availability of the data processing systems, i.e. in particular the security and availability of your data at GWT-TUD GmbH.

These receive only those data which are necessary for the fulfilment of the order.

These include the following categories of contractors: Identification service providers, software developers, server hosters, newsletter senders, customer support, web analysis service.

 

D Duration of data storage

For all processing operations carried out on the basis of a balancing of interests or consent, the duration of data retention is determined by the prior list of processing operations. If the processing is based on a contract, the data will be deleted after the purpose of the contract no longer applies, unless we are legally obliged to continue storing or keeping the data. Insofar as the data is still required for the processing of outstanding transactions, the deletion will take place at the earliest after these transactions have been completed.
