privacy policy

Introduction and terms

The operation of our website www.scalehub.com and
event.scalehub.com (in the following both also “website”) involves the processing of personal data.

This data will be handled by us in a confidential manner and processed in accordance with the applicable laws, especially the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and Germany’s Data Protection Act (BDSG). This Privacy Policy is designed to inform you about the personal data we collect from you, what we use it for, the legal basis for the usage and, where applicable, with whom we share it. They will also inform you of your rights in regard to the protection of your data.

Our Privacy Policy contains specialist terms used in the GDPR and BDSG. For your better understanding, we want to explain these terms in simple words:

Personal data

“Personal data” is all information relating to an identified or identifiable person (Art. 4 Par. 1 of the GDPR). Details of an identified person could be their name or e-mail address.

However, data can also be described as personal if, despite the fact that a person’s identity cannot be deduced directly from the data, their identity can nonetheless be deduced by combining the data with other information.

A person could, for example, be identified via their address or bank details, date of birth, username, IP address or location details. The key point is that any information that can be used in any way to identify a person can be described as personal data.

Processing

Under Art. 4 Par. 2 of the GDPR, “processing” describes any process applied to personal data. This especially includes the collection, capture, administration, classification, recording, amendment, printing, making available, use, disclosure, sharing, dissemination, provision, comparison, linking, restriction, erasure or destruction of personal data.

Processing parameters

We will process the personal data listed in detail under “Processing activities in detail” below, when you use the website. In this process, we will only process data from you that you actively enter on our website (e.g. by completing forms) or that you provide automatically when using our offer.

Your data will exclusively be processed by us and these data will, as a matter of principle, not be sold, leased or provided to any third parties. Insofar as we use external service providers for the processing of your personal data, that will be done in the context of a cooperation with a so-called data processor, where we act as principal and are authorized to give instructions to our contractors.

For the operation of our website, we use external service providers for hosting, and for the maintenance, update and further development. Insofar as other external service providers will be used for individual processing activities that are listed in “Processing activities in detail”, they will be specified there.

We do, in general, not transfer any data to any third countries and this is not planned for the future either. Any exemptions from this principle will be explained in the types of processing activities listed below.

The processing activities in detail

1. Description of processing

Whenever anybody visits our website, we automatically collect information that their browser transfers to our server. These data will also be stored in the so-called log files of our system. This concerns the following data:

  • Your IP address
  • Your browser software, its version and language
  • Your operating system
  • The website you were on before you came to ours (referrer website)
  • The pages you visit on our website
  • The date and time of your visit to our website
  • Data volumes transferred

Your IP address is recorded in full in the log files for your protection, because without the collection of your clear IP addresses our data center could not defend against cyber attacks.

2. Purpose

Your data are processed in order to facilitate access to our website, to ensure the website’s stability and security, and to enable the statistical evaluation and improvement of our online service.

3. Legal basis
The processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 f GDPR provided the logfile is essential to provide our services and is based on a consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1  a GDPR, if the logfile was not essential and then obtained by us via a cookie banner or cookie content tool. Such consent is voluntary.

4. Duration of storage

Your data will be erased as soon as they are no longer required for the purpose for which they were collected. Where your data have been collected for the purposes of providing our website, they will no longer be required for this purpose when your session ends. The log files will be deleted after 31 days.

1. Description of processing

Our website contains various contact forms for different purposes. These are a.) a general contact form, b.) a form to request an individual solution, c.) a form to arrange an appointment for a product demonstration and d.) a form to participate in ScaleHub events. In these forms, you will be asked to enter your e-mail address, first name and surname, as well as any additional information. All mandatory fields of the respective contact form are marked with an asterisk (*). Information in all other fields is voluntary. If you press the “Submit” button of the respective contact form, the data will be transmitted to us using SSL encryption (see section „Security measures“ below). Every contact form can only be transmitted if you accept our Privacy Policy by clicking the corresponding checkbox. You can also contact us via the e-mail addresses provided on the website. In this case, the personal data transmitted by e-mail will be processed by us.


2. Purpose

By providing a contact form on our website, we want to offer you a convenient way to get in touch with us. The data transmitted with and in the contact form or your e-mail will be used exclusively for the purpose of processing and responding to your request.


3. Legal basis

The processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller (Art. 6 Par. 1f of the GDPR). Our legitimate interest is the purpose mentioned in article 2. Insofar as the contact by contact form or e-mail is aimed at concluding or performing a contract, the data will be processed to perform a contract (Art. 6 Par. 1b of the GDPR). The latter concerns e.g. your registration for our events.


4. Duration of storage

We will delete the data as soon as they are no longer necessary to achieve the purpose for which they were collected. This is usually the case when the respective communication with you is finished. Communication is terminated when it can be inferred from the circumstances that your request has been finally clarified. If statutory retention periods prevent deletion, the data will be deleted immediately after the statutory retention period has expired.

1. Description of processing

We send a newsletter in irregular intervals. In the newsletter, we will inform you about our products, services and events. You will only receive our newsletter if you actively subscribe to our Newsletter or if you are an existing customer of ScaleHub.


You may subscribe to our newsletter by completing and sending a newsletter subscription form on our website. If you decide to subscribe to our newsletter, you only need to provide us with your e-mail address. All other data (such as e.g. your first name and name) can be given voluntarily and will only be used to personalize the e-mail. In addition, we have implemented a checkbox under our contact forms, which you only need to activate to subscribe to our newsletter.

In order to perform and verify newsletter registrations, we use the so-called double opt-in process. A registration involves several steps. First, you subscribe to our newsletter on our Website. Then, you will receive an e-mail from us to the e-mail address you specified. In this e-mail, we ask you to confirm that you have actually subscribed to the newsletter and wish to receive it. You confirm your subscription by clicking on a confirmation link in the e-mail. We will only include you in our newsletter distribution list after your successful confirmation and only then will you receive e-mails in the future. We will store date, time and your IP address in the double opt-in process, both during registration and upon confirmation.

If you have purchased goods or services from us and also provided your e-mail address in this context, we may subsequently use your e-mail address to send you an existing customer newsletter. In such a case, the newsletter will only send direct advertising for our own similar goods or services.

2. Purpose

The processing will be done to offer the newsletter function and to be able to send newsletter emails to subscribers. The collection and storage of date, time and IP address during the registration for the newsletter serves to document that the consent was granted and to protect against the abusive registration of email addresses.

3. Legal basis

The processing for our subscriber newsletter will be done on the basis on your consent pursuant to Art. 6 Par. 1a of the GDPR. You can ask us for the declaration of consent at any time. Your consent is voluntary. Collecting and storing of date, time and IP address during the registration for our newsletter is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller (Art. 6 Par.1f of the GDPR). Our legitimate interest is the purpose mentioned under point 2.

Our “existing customer”-newsletter is processed on the basis of Art. 6 Par. 1f of the GDPR in order to safeguard the overriding interests of the person responsible. Our legitimate interest lies in direct advertising to existing customers. This is permissible within the applicable framework of § 7 Par. 3 German Act Against Unfair Competition (UWG).

4. Storage duration and withdrawal of consent

If you fail to confirm your registration to our newsletter within 24 hours after receipt of the relevant subscription email, your data will automatically be deleted. We will process your personal data for the period in which you subscribe to our newsletter. You may terminate the receipt of the newsletter, at any time, by withdrawing your consent.

A simple statement will suffice (by e-mail to contact@scalehub.com). You may also unsubscribe to the newsletter by clicking on the unsubscribe link which is provided in each newsletter email. When you have withdrawn your consent, we will no longer send you any newsletters and your personal data will be removed from our active distribution list. We will take over your email address, in a restricted manner, to our so-called black list, in order to enforce your withdrawal. That enables us to ensure that you will not receive any newsletter from us in the future and that your email address will not be abused by any third parties.

5. Recipient and transfer to third countries

Within the framework of order processing we use the services of the Zoho Group (hereinafter “Zoho”) to manage our newsletter distribution list and to send e-mails.. With your newsletter subscription, the data provided – your e-mail address – during the registration process is transferred to Zoho and processed on servers also in the USA. Such transfer is based on EU Commission’s Model Contractual Clauses and we have entered into a Data Processing Addendum (DPA) that is based on the current EU Standard Contractual Clauses. The Data Protection Officer of Zoho can be reached by sending an email to dpo@zohocorp.com or by writing to: Data Protection Officer, Zoho Corporation BV, Beneluxlaan 4B, 3527 HT Utrecht, The Netherlands. Further information about Zoho`s Privacy Policy can be found here.

1. Description of processing

Our website uses “Google Analytics”, a web analysis service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (hereinafter referred to as “Google”). Google Analytics uses cookies (see section „Cookies“), which enable us to analyze your use of our website. We use Google Analytics in the offered version “Universal Analytics”, which allows this analysis across devices by assigning the data to a pseudonymous user ID. The information generated by the cookie is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, we use Google Analytics exclusively with IP anonymisation. As a result, your IP address will be shortened by Google in advance within member states of the European Union or in other signatory states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not combined with other data from Google. The statistics compiled by Google Analytics record in particular how many users visit our website, from which country or location the access takes place, which subpages are called up and via which links or search terms visitors reach our website. The Google Analytics user conditions can be found at https://marketingplatform.google.com/about/analytics/terms/de/. An overview of data protection at Google Analytics can be found at http://www.google.com/intl/de/analytics/learn/privacy.html . Google’s privacy policy can be found at https://policies.google.com/privacy.


2. Purpose


The processing takes place in order to evaluate the use of our website. The information obtained in this way serves to improve and design our online presence in line with requirements. The processing is also necessary to achieve the purpose. The data processing is necessary if it is suitable to reach the interest of the Processor, whereby no milder means, equally effective means is available. The Processor would like to know how his website is accepted and whether improvements are necessary. In order to improve it, he therefore needs information from users. The processing is limited to the necessary extent so that, for example, the data on the usage behavior of the data concerned are not combined with data from other websites. The legitimate interest of the Processor is countered by the interests and fundamental rights of users – in particular respect for their private lives and the protection of personal data pursuant to Art. 7 and Art. 8 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights (GRCh). A weighing of the interests shows that the legitimate interests of the Processor outweigh the interests of those affected. For the individual visitor or user of the website, it is objectively and reasonably foreseeable that the Processor will measure the range of his online offer, for example in order to tailor it to his needs. For this purpose, no continuous recognition and constantly more extensive profiling as well as no passing on of data to third parties are necessary. Statistical data on the target group, acquisition, behavior and conversions provide sufficient information about the general usage behavior, so that the provision of individual usage profiles is not necessary for the purposes pursued here. The impairment of the user is therefore to be assessed as low, with the result that the balance of interests is in favor of the Processor.


3. Legal basis


The processing is based on a consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 letter a GDPR. This is obtained by us via a cookie banner or cookie content tool. Such consent is voluntary.


4. Storage period and right to object


We have explained the storage period as well as your control and setting options for cookies in section „Cookies“. You can object to the data processing by Google Analytics at any time by downloading and installing the browser add-on offered by Google under https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en. The analysis data processed and stored with Google Analytics are automatically deleted by us after 14 months. You can withdraw your consent with regard to Google Analytics at any time in the settings of the cookie banner or the cookie content tool with effect for the future.


5. Recipient and transfer to third countries


Google Analytics works for us as a service provider within the scope of order processing. Google also processes your personal data in the USA and has subjected itself to the EU-US Privacy Shield.

1. Description of Processing

Our website uses the advertising service “Google Ads Conversion,” operated by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (hereinafter referred to as “Google”). Google Ads Conversion helps us to place advertisements on external websites to draw attention to our offers. Additionally, the service enables us to measure the reach and success of individual advertising measures. Our advertisements are delivered by Google via so-called “Ad Servers.” For this purpose, Google uses “Ad Server” cookies, which measure certain parameters for success, such as ad display or user clicks. If you reach our website through a Google ad, Google Ads stores a cookie on your device (see above section Cookies). According to Google, these cookies are not intended to personally identify you. Typically, the unique cookie ID, number of ad impressions per placement (frequency), last impression (relevant for post-view conversions), and opt-out information (marking that the user no longer wishes to be addressed) are stored as analysis values in this cookie. The cookies enable Google to recognize your internet browser. If you visit the websites of a Google Ads customer and the cookie stored on your device has not expired, Google and the customer can recognize that you clicked on the ad and were redirected to our website. Each Google Ads customer is assigned a different cookie. Therefore, cookies cannot be tracked across the websites of Google Ads customers. We ourselves do not process any personal data with our Google AdWords advertising measures. Google only provides us with statistical evaluations. Based on these evaluations, we can determine which of the advertising measures used are particularly effective. We do not receive any further data from the use of advertising materials; in particular, we cannot identify users based on this information. When you visit our website, a connection to Google’s servers is established. We have no control over the extent and further use of the data collected by Google through the use of Google Ads Conversion and therefore inform you according to our knowledge: By integrating Google Ads Conversion, Google receives the information on which subpage of our website you have accessed or clicked on an ad from us. If you are registered with a Google service, Google can associate the visit with your account. Even if you are not registered with Google or not logged in, there is a possibility that Google will learn and store your IP address.

Our website uses the advertising and remarketing service “LinkedIn Ads”, which is provided by LinkedIn Corporation, 2029 Stierlin Court, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“LinkedIn”). Via the “LinkedIn Ads”, it is possible for us to place advertisements onthe social network LinkedIn that are targeted to those LinkedIn users who have shown interest in our offer – e.g. through a previous visit to our website. For this purpose, we add the 
so-called “LinkedIn Insight Tag” to our website. This is a small JavaScript code snippet. With the help of the “LinkedIn Insight Tag”, we can also track and evaluate the effectiveness and reach of our advertising on LinkedIn by recording whether LinkedIn users interact with our ads on the social network and are redirected to our website by clicking on the ads. When you visit our website, you are connected to the LinkedIn servers and the “LinkedIn Insight Tag” is embedded in our website. In addition, LinkedIn may store a cookie on your terminal device. If you are logged in to LinkedIn or log in to LinkedIn later, your visit to our website will be assigned to your user account. The data collected about you by means of the “LinkedIn Insight Tag” are anonymous for us. They do not provide us with any conclusions about your person. However, a connection to your user profile is possible on the part of LinkedIn.
