When you contact us by e-mail, we process the data you provide us with (your e-mail address, your name, telephone number if applicable, and other details) in order to process and answer your questions; the legal basis is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

E. Web-Application app.holobuilder.com

We process stock data (e.g., names and addresses as well as contact data of users), contract data (e.g., services used, names of contact persons, payment information) for the purpose of fulfilling our contractual obligations and services pursuant to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit b. GDPR.

Users can optionally create a user account by viewing their orders in particular. In the context of the registration, the necessary compulsory data are communicated to the users. The user accounts are not public and cannot be indexed by search engines. It is incumbent upon the users to secure their data before the end of the contract in the event of termination. In the event of termination of the user account, we are entitled to irretrievably delete all user data stored during the term of the contract.

Within the scope of registration and renewed registrations as well as use of our online services, we store the IP address and the time of the respective user action. The storage is based on our legitimate interests, as well as the user’s protection against misuse and other unauthorized use. A passing on of these data to third parties does not take place in principle, unless it is necessary for the pursuit of our claims or there is a legal obligation according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR.

We process usage data (e.g., the websites visited on our website, interest in our products) and content data (e.g., entries in the contact form or user profile) for advertising purposes in a user profile in order to display to the user, e.g. product information based on the services they have previously used.

F. Newsletter

We offer the opportunity to register for our newsletter. The newsletter appears at irregular intervals and informs about new features and products of and related to HoloBuilder.

Purpose of data processing, legal basis and content of consent: Within the scope of registration, only your e-mail address is required. We send our newsletter only on the basis of the consent of the recipient according to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a, Art. 7 GDPR. By subscribing to our newsletter, you agree to receive information and promotional materials regarding HoloBuilder’s offers and promotions.

Double Opt-In procedure: We use the so-called double opt-in procedure when registering for the newsletter. After registration, the interested party receives an e-mail with a confirmation link to the given e-mail address, which he must click to confirm registration for the newsletter. We log the registrations for the newsletter in order to be able to prove the registration process according to the data protection requirements. In this context, we store the time of registration and confirmation as well as the IP address.

Information about the service provider: The newsletter is sent via “Pardot”, a newsletter dispatch platform of the US provider Pardot LLC, 950 East Paces Ferry Rd, Suite 3300, Atlanta, GA 30326, USA. You can view the privacy policy of the shipping service provider here: https://www.pardot.com/legal . Pardot LLC is part of the Salesforce.com, Inc. Group, Salesforce Tower, 415 Mission Street, 3rd Floor, San Francisco, CA 94105, USA. SalesForce.com, Inc. guarantees to comply with the European data protection level. Furthermore, according to its own information, the shipping service provider may use this data in pseudonymous form, i.e. without allocation to a user, to optimise or improve its own services, e.g. for the technical optimisation of the shipping and presentation of the newsletter or for statistical purposes, in order to determine from which countries the recipients come. However, the dispatch service provider does not use the data of our newsletter recipients to contact them or pass them on to third parties. The use of the dispatch service provider, the performance of statistical surveys and analyses as well as the logging of the registration procedure are carried out based on our legitimate interests according to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our interest is directed to the use of a user-friendly and secure newsletter system, which serves our business interests as well as the expectations of the users.

Statistical survey and analysis: The newsletters contain a so-called “web-beacon”, i.e. a file the size of a pixel, which is called up by the server of the dispatch service provider when the newsletter is opened. Within the scope of this retrieval, technical information, such as information about the browser and your system, as well as your IP address and time of retrieval are first collected. This information is used for the technical improvement of the services based on the technical data or the target groups and their reading behaviour based on their retrieval locations (which can be determined with the help of the IP address) or the access times. The statistical surveys also include determining whether the newsletters are opened, when they are opened, and which links are clicked. For technical reasons, this information can be assigned to the individual newsletter recipients. However, it is neither our nor the shipping service provider’s intention to observe individual users. The evaluations serve us much more to recognize the reading habits of our users and to adapt our contents to them or to send different contents according to the interests of our users.

Termination/revocation: You can cancel the receipt of our newsletter at any time, i.e. revoke your consent. At the same time, your consent to its dispatch by the dispatch service provider and the statistical analyses will expire. A separate revocation of the dispatch by the dispatch service provider or the statistical evaluation is unfortunately not possible. You will find a link to cancel the newsletter at the end of each newsletter. If users have only subscribed to the newsletter and cancelled their subscription, their personal data will be deleted.

G. Google Analytics

Functionality: This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses “cookies”, which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyze how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website will generally be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. However, if IP anonymisation is activated on this website, your IP address will be shortened beforehand by Google within member states of the European Union or in other signatory states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA where it will be shortened. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services relating to website activity and internet usage to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not combined with other data from Google.

You may refuse the use of cookies, however, please note that if you do this you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website. You can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) and Google from processing this data by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en.

This website uses Google Analytics with the extension “_anonymizeIp()”. This shortens the processing of IP addresses, thus excluding the possibility of personal references. If the data collected about you is related to a person, this is excluded immediately, and the personal data is deleted immediately.

Purpose: We use Google Analytics to analyse and regularly improve the use of our website. The statistics obtained allow us to improve our services and make them more interesting for you as a user. This website also uses Google Analytics for a cross-device analysis of visitor flows, which is carried out via a user ID. In the exceptional cases where personal data is transferred to the United States. The legal basis for the use of Google Analytics is Art. 6 Para. 1 Cl. 1 lit. a GDPR.

The input and transmission of personal data is encrypted using the SSL procedure (Secure Socket Layer).

A. What is SSL?

A website encrypted with SSL transmits personal data encrypted to the server so that it is impossible for third parties to intercept or read it. A certificate verifies our identity. Depending on your browser, you can recognize that a secure connection exists by the green address bar and/or the lock. By clicking on the lock or the green address bar you can read our online proof of identity.

B. What does SSL do?

By encrypting the transmission, you can assume that your entered data can only be read by us. You can see from the green address bar that you are connected to our server and that it is not a third-party site.

10. Use of cookies

In order to make visiting our website attractive and to enable the use of certain functions, we use so-called cookies on various pages on the basis of our legitimate interests in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

Cookies are pieces of information that are transferred from our web server or third-party web servers to the user’s web browser and stored there for later retrieval. Cookies can be small files or other types of information storage.

We use “session cookies, for example, to store your login status or the shopping cart function and thus enable the use of our online services at all. In a session cookie, a randomly generated unique identification number is stored, a so-called session ID. In addition, a cookie contains information about the e-mail address of a visitor and the language selected on our site. These cookies cannot store any other data.

Users are informed about the use of cookies within the framework of pseudonymous range measurement in the context of this data protection declaration. If the users do not want cookies to be stored on their computer, they are asked to deactivate the corresponding option in the system settings of their browser. Stored cookies can be deleted in the system settings of the browser. The exclusion of cookies can lead to functional restrictions of this online offer.

You may object to the use of cookies for range measurement and advertising purposes via the deactivation page of the Network Advertising Initiative (http://optout.networkadvertising.org/) and additionally the US website (http://www.aboutads.info/choices) or the European website (http://www.youronlinechoices.com/uk/your-ad-choices/).

11. Integration of third-party services and content

Within the scope of our online offer, we act on the basis of our legitimate interests (i.e. interest in the analysis, optimisation and economic operation of our online offer, according to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f. GDPR) when utilizing content or service offers from third-parties in order to integrate their content and services, such as videos or fonts (hereinafter uniformly referred to as “content”). This always presupposes that the third-party providers of this content perceive the IP address of the user, since they could not send the content to their browser without the IP address. The IP address is therefore required for the presentation of this content. We make every effort to use only those contents whose respective providers only use the IP address to deliver the contents. Third-party providers may also use so-called pixel tags (invisible graphics, also known as “web beacons”) for statistical or marketing purposes. “Pixel tags” can be used to evaluate information such as visitor traffic on the pages of this website. The pseudonymous information may also be stored in cookies on the user’s device and may contain, among other things, technical information about the browser and operating system, referring web pages, visit times and other information about the use of our online offering, as well as may be linked to such information from other sources.

The following presentation provides an overview of third-party providers and their contents, along with links to their data protection declarations, which contain further information on the processing of data and, in some cases already mentioned here, possibilities of objection (so-called opt-out)

▪ If our customers use the payment services of third parties (e.g. PayPal or Worldpay), the terms and conditions and data protection notices of the respective third parties, which are available within the respective websites or transaction applications, apply.

▪ External fonts and Google Maps APIs from Google, Inc., https://www.google.com/fonts (“Google Fonts”). The integration of the Google Fonts takes place by a server call with Google.
