DATAGROUP takes the protection of personal data very seriously. We ensure that your personal data is treated confidentially and according to the relevant data protection regulations and this Privacy Statement.
The use of our website is generally possible without providing any personal data. If personal data (e.g. name, address or email address) is collected on our pages, this is always done on a voluntary basis. This data will not be disclosed to any third parties unless we have your express consent to do so.
We would like to point out that the transfer of data on the internet (e.g. during communication by email) may have security gaps. We cannot guarantee complete protection of your data against access by any third parties.
Personal data that you provide to us by email, telephone, mail or contact form will of course be treated confidentially. We will use your data exclusively for the purpose of dealing with the enquiry. The lawful basis for the data processing is Article 6 (1f) of the GDPR. The legitimate interest of DATAGROUP arises from the interest to respond to the enquiries of our customers, business partners and stakeholders with the aim of maintaining and promoting customer satisfaction.
As a basic principle, we do not disclose data to any third parties. Data may be processed on our behalf by data processors in exceptional cases. These data processors have been carefully selected, are audited by us and are bound by contract in accordance with Article 28 of the GDPR.
We may also be required to pass on enquiries to other companies within DATAGROUP where this is necessary for processing.
All personal data provided by you in the context of enquiries will be deleted or safely anonymised no later than 90 days after the final response on your enquiry has been given. The storage period of 90 days is explained by the fact that you may contact us again on the same subject after having received a response. We would then be able to refer to the earlier correspondence. Experience has shown that there are usually no further questions to our response after a period of 90 days.
The companies of DATAGROUP process the contact details of customers, stakeholders, suppliers and other business partners for communication by email, telephone, fax or mail. The lawful basis for the data processing is Article 6 (1f) of the GDPR. The legitimate interest of DATAGROUP arises from the interest to establish or conduct business relationships with customers, stakeholders, suppliers and other business partners by maintaining personal contact with contact persons.
As a basic principle, we do not disclose personal data to any third parties outside of DATAGROUP. Within DATAGROUP, data is shared, amongst others, to establish or conduct business relationships. Data may be processed on our behalf by data processors in exceptional cases. These processors have been carefully selected, are audited by us and are bound by contract in accordance with Article 28 of the GDPR.
Personal data for the purpose of conducting business relationships is stored as long as there is a legitimate interest.
You have the possibility to order our newsletter through different channels (this website, at fairs). The lawful basis for data processing in order to send out newsletters is your consent under Article 6 (1a) of the GDPR as well as § 7 (2) of the Unfair Competition Law.

Provided that you voluntarily provide any further personal details (name, surname, company, job title and selection of themes) we will use this data exclusively for the purpose of analysing the target group and for an internal analysis.
You will receive an email with a confirmation link after sending the registration form. Provided that you click on this link you are subscribed to the newsletter. You will be informed accordingly by another email. By confirming the registration, you give your consent to process your email address and your optional data for the purposes stated herein.

As a basic principle, we do not disclose your data to any external third parties. Provided that external data processors will be used to send advertising, they are contractually obligated under Article 28 of the GDPR and have been controlled to verify that appropriate organisational and technical security measures are in place.

The forwarded data will be stored in a database which will generate the examination papers and finally the eventual certificate. Data provided by applicants for events will not be disclosed.
Where required, we will store the data of participants in seminars and events for the duration of the legal retention periods. Subsequently, and apart from that, the data will generally be deleted.

We, DATAGROUP SE, in addition to the provider of the social media platform (platform provider) are jointly responsible as data controllers for the processing activities concerning your data. The platform provider in this respect primarily determines the purposes and means of the processing activities, which we can influence only to a limited extent. To the extent that we can exert influence over or set parameters regarding the processing of your data, we will, within our means, take actions to ensure that the platform provider processes your data in compliance with applicable data protection regulations.

Data processing is carried out in the interest of our public relations work and communication.
At no time is your data used or processed by us for any undisclosed purposes. To the extent that the platform provider leaves us room to exert influence over or set parameters regarding the processing of your data, we will design our social media pages to be as compliant as possible with applicable data protection rules. We therefore do not make use of demographic, interest-based, behavior-based or location-based target group classifications for the purposes of advertising, notwithstanding that such services may (by default) be provided to us by the social media platform Providers.
With regards to the receipt of the statistics provided by the platform provider, this may only be influenced by us to a limited extent and we do not possess the means to deactivate them completely. However, we make sure that no additional optional statistics are made available to us.

If you send us an inquiry through the social media platform, we may also, depending on your request, refer to other secure communication channels that guarantee confidentiality. You always have the option to send us confidential inquiries to the address given in the imprint.
The provider of the social media platform uses web tracking methods. Web tracking may also take place independently of whether or not you are logged in or registered on the social media platform. Unfortunately, we cannot influence or restrict the web tracking methods of the social media platform.
Please be aware that the platform provider may use your profile and behavioral data to evaluate, among other things, your habits, personal relationships and preferences. We have no influence on the processing of your data by the platform provider.

If the data is processed pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR (data processing for the purposes of the legitimate interests), you have the right to object to the processing at any time for reasons arising out of your particular situation. We will then no longer process your personal data, unless there are demonstrably compelling legitimate grounds for processing, which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the person concerned, or the processing serves the purpose of asserting, exercising or defending legal claims.
Pursuant to Art. 77 GDPR, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority if you believe that the processing of your personal data infringes applicable data protection regulations.
