Document:
(1)	The following provides information about the collection of personal data during your use of this website. Personal data is any information that can be specifically attributed to you, e.g. your name, address, email addresses, user behaviour, and IP address.
(3)	If we make use of commissioned service providers for individual functions of our offers or if we wish to use your data for commercial purposes, we will inform you of the respective processes as described in detail below. In so doing, we will also cite the set criteria for the storage period.
(1)	As a matter of principle, we collect and utilise users' personal data only to the extent required to ensure the functioning of our website and of our contents and services. The collection and utilisation of our users' personal data normally occurs after users have given their consent. An exception applies to cases in which prior consent can not be obtained for practical reasons and where the processing of the data is legally permitted.
(2)	If we have obtained consent for the processing of personal data from the data subject, art. 6, para. 1, point a of the GDPR acts as the legal basis. When the processing of personal data is required in order to fulfil a contract, to which the data subject is party, art. 6, para. 1, point b of the GDPR acts as the legal basis. This also applies to processing that is required in order to perform pre-contractual measures. If the processing of personal data is required in order to fulfil a legal obligation to which our company is subject, art. 6, para. 1, point c of the GDPR acts as the legal basis. In the event that vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person make processing personal data necessary, art. 6, para. 1, point d of the GDPR acts as the legal basis. If processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or by a third party and the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not override the former interests, art. 6, para. 1, point f of the GDPR acts as the legal basis for processing.
(3)	The personal data of the data subject are deleted or locked once the purpose of their storage no longer applies. Furthermore, data can be stored if provision has been made by the European or national legislator in ordinances, acts or other regulations in EU law to which the controller is subject. The data are also locked or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the stated standards expires, unless it is necessary to continue to store the data in order to conclude or fulfil a contract.
(4)	Furthermore, we may also disclose your personal data to third parties when we offer participation in campaigns, contests, contract conclusions, or similar services together with partners. You will receive further information on this when you provide your personal data or at the bottom of the description of the service being offered. If our service providers or partners are based in a country outside the European Economic Area (EEA), we will inform you of the consequences of this in the description of the service being offered.
In accordance with art. 17 of the GDPR, you have the right to request that personal data be deleted immediately, or alternatively the right to request the restriction of processing of the data in accordance with art. 18 of the GDPR.
(1)	If you have consented to the processing of your data, you can revoke this at any time in accordance with art. 7, para. 3 of the GDPR. Once communicated to us, such a revocation affects the admissibility of the processing of your personal data.
(2)	If we base the processing of your personal data on the balancing of interests, you may object to the processing. This is the case if processing in particular is not necessary for the fulfilment of a contract with you, which we will note in the subsequent description of each function. When such objection is raised, we ask that you explain the reasons why we should not process your personal data in the manner we have done. If your objection is justified, we will examine the situation and either cease or adjust the data processing or explain to you our compelling and legitimate reasons as to why we will continue to perform the processing as such.
(3)	Of course, you may object at any time to the processing of your personal data for advertising and data analysis purposes. You may inform us of your objection to such uses via the following contact details: DIAL GmbH, Bahnhofsallee 18, 58507 Lüdenscheid, dialogdialde.
The data processed by us will be deleted or have its processing restricted in accordance with art. 17 and 18 of the GDPR. Unless expressly stated in this data protection policy, the data stored by us will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required for its intended purpose and the deletion does not conflict with any legal storage obligations. If the data are not deleted because they are necessary for other legally permissible purposes, their processing is restricted. This means that the data is locked and not processed for any other purposes. This applies, for example, to data that must be kept for commercial or tax reasons. According to legal requirements in Germany, the records shall be kept in particular for 6 years in accordance with section 257, para. 1 of the German Commercial Code (HGB) (trading books, inventories, opening balance sheets, annual financial statements, commercial letters, accounting documents, etc.) and for 10 years in accordance with section 147, para. 1 of the German Tax Code (AO) (books, records, progress reports, accounting documents, commercial and business letters, for documents relevant to taxation, etc.).
If we process data in a third country (i.e. outside the European Union (EU) or the European Economic Area (EEA)) or if this is done in order to utilise third-party services, disclose or transfer data to third parties, then this will only happen in order to fulfil our (pre-)contractual obligations, on the basis of your consent, due to a legal obligation or on the basis of our legitimate interests. Subject to legal or contractual permissions, we process or have the data processed in a third country only if the special requirements of art. 44 ff. of the GDPR apply. This means, for example, that processing is carried out on the basis of special guarantees, such as the officially recognised establishment of a data protection level in compliance with the EU (e.g. by the "Privacy Shield" for the USA) or compliance with officially recognised special contractual obligations ("standard contractual clauses").
i)	Language and version of browser software.
(2)	The data are also stored in the logfiles of our system. These data are not stored together with other personal data of the user. The legal basis for the temporary storage of the data and logfiles is art. 6, para. 1, point f of the GDPR. The data are stored in logfiles in order to ensure that the website functions properly. In addition, the data helps us to optimise the website and to ensure the security of our information technology systems. An analysis of the data for marketing purposes does not take place in this context. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by the data subject.
(3)	The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer necessary to achieve the purpose for which they were collected. If data has been collected for the provision of the website, this occurs when the respective session ends. The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of data in logfiles is absolutely necessary for the operation of the internet site. As a result, the user may not object.
To protect the transmission of confidential content that you send to us (e.g. orders, inquiries), this website uses what is known as SSL or TLS encryption. These can be recognised by the lock symbol in your browser address bar. The address bar also changes from "http://" to "https://". This means that third parties are not able to read this data.
(2)	Temporary cookies, or "session cookies" or "transient cookies", refer to cookies that are deleted once the user leaves an online service and closes their browser. In such a cookie, the contents of a shopping cart in an online shop or a login status are stored, for example. "Permanent" or "persistent" cookies refer to those that remain stored even after the browser has been closed. In doing so, the login status can be stored, for example, if users visit the website after several days.
(3)	It is possible at any time to prevent the website's storage of cookies by adjusting the relevant settings of your Internet browser and thus permanently deactivating the storage of cookies. Furthermore, you may delete cookies which have already been stored via an Internet browser or another software program at any time. This can also be done automatically. This is possible in all standard Internet browsers. If you deactivate cookies, the functionality of this website may be limited.
Title, first name, last name, company, email.
The IP address of the user, date und time of the registration.
As part of this process, your consent is obtained for the processing of data and reference is made to this data protection policy. Alternatively it is possible to contact us via the email address provided. In this case, we store the user's personal data transmitted with the email. The data are not forwarded to any third parties in this context. The data are used exclusively to process the conversation. The legal basis for the processing of data when consent is given by the user is art. 6, para. 1, point a of the GDPR. The legal basis for the processing of data which are transmitted when sending an email is art. 6, para. 1, point f of the GDPR. If the aim of the email contact is to conclude a contract, then the additional legal basis for processing is art. 6, para. 1, point b of the GDPR. Processing the personal data from the input mask only assists us in handling the communication. If contact is made via email, this also includes the required justified interest in the processing of the data. The other personal data processed during the sending process serve to prevent misuse of the contact form and to ensure the security of our information technology systems. The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer necessary to achieve the purpose for which they were collected. For the personal data from the input mask of the contact form and those that have been transmitted via email, this is the case when the respective conversation with the user has ended. The conversation has ended when it can be seen from the circumstances that the issue being discussed has been conclusively resolved. The additional personal data collected during the sending process will be deleted at the latest after a period of seven days. The user has the option to revoke their consent to the processing of the personal data at any time. If the user contacts us via email, then they can object at any time to their personal data being stored. In this instance, the conversation can not be continued. All personal data that have been stored during the communication are deleted in this case.
(1) You can register on our website in several ways. You can book seminars and/or webinars and/or events and/or make use of support services and/or request and download material such as white papers about our products and services. To do this, it is necessary for the conclusion of the contract that you provide the personal data we require to process your order or your booking. Furthermore, you can give us feedback on customer satisfaction on our website. The mandatory information fields required for processing are specially marked. Other details are voluntary. We may also use the data you have provided to process your order or your booking. The legal basis for the processing of data when you give your consent is art. 6, Sect. 1, lit. a of the GDPR. To this end, we can pass on your payment data to our principal bank. The legal basis for this is art. 6, Sect. 1, sentence 1, lit. b of the GDPR. If the registration serves to fulfil a contract whose contracting party is the user or serves to implement pre-contractual measures, then an additional legal basis for the processing of data is art. 6, Sect. 1, lit. b of the GDPR.
(2) We use the so-called double-opt-in method for registering for support services, meaning your registration is not complete until you have confirmed your registration by clicking on the link contained within a confirmation email sent to you for this purpose.
(3) If you use our portal, we will store the data required to fulfil the contract and also details on the method of payment until you permanently delete your access data. Furthermore, we will store the voluntary data you have provided for the duration of your website use, unless you delete these beforehand. You can manage and change all information in the secure customer area. The legal basis is art. 6, Sect. 1, sentence 1, lit. f of the GDPR. In addition, we delete your data as soon as it is no longer necessary for its intended purpose and the deletion does not conflict with any statutory retention requirements.
(1) To conduct webinars, we use the GoToWebinar software solution. The GoToWebinar software solution is provided by LogMeIn Inc., 333 Summer Street, Boston, MA 02210, USA. The LogMeIn data privacy statement can be found here. LogMeIn processes your personal data in the USA, but has submitted to the EU-US Privacy Shield framework (https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt0000000013fAAA), thus providing a guarantee that they will comply with European data protection laws.
a) GDPR and Art. 6 Par. 1 s. 1 item b) GDPR.
(3) To conduct the webinar, an encrypted connection is established between you and the organizer of the webinar. Webinars are regularly recorded and played back when the webinar is accessed later. During and after the webinar, statistical data is transmitted to us. If you take part in a webinar and/or ask or answer a question during the webinar, we receive, in addition to your registration data, information about the participation duration, your interest in the webinar, and the question and/or answer for further customer support or to expand the user experience.
(1)	You can read our forum without prior registration. If you would like to actively participate in the forum, you must register by entering your email address and a password and username of your choice. There is no obligation to provide a real name and pseudonyms may be used. We use the double opt-in method for registration, i.e. your registration is not complete until you have confirmed your registration via a confirmation email sent to you for this purpose by clicking on the link contained therein. If we do not receive your confirmation within 14 days, your registration will be automatically deleted from our database.
(2)	If you register a forum account, we will store all information you post in the forum, i.e. public posts, bulletin board entries, friendships, private messages, etc., until you log out, in order to operate the forum. The legal basis is art. 6, para. 1, sentence 1, point f of the GDPR.
(3)	If you delete your account, your public statements, especially posts to the forum, remain visible to all readers, but your account is no longer accessible and is marked with "unknown user" in the forum. All other data will be deleted. If you would like your public contributions to be deleted as well, please contact the controller using the contact details above.
If you send us an application via our website, we will use this data exclusively for the purpose of handling the application procedure. Processing can also be done electronically if you send us the corresponding application documents electronically, for example via email or via the web form on our website. If we conclude a contract of employment with you on the basis of this application, the transmitted data will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment contract in compliance with the legal regulations. However, if we do not conclude a contract of employment with you, then the application documents will be automatically deleted six months after notification of the rejection decision, unless you have given your consent for your application data to be stored by us for future job vacancies.
(1)	With your consent, you can subscribe to our newsletter in which we will keep you informed of our current interesting offers. The goods and services advertised will be set out in the declaration of consent. The input mask used for this purpose determines which personal data are transmitted to the controller for processing when the newsletter is ordered.
(2)	For legal reasons, we use the double opt-in method for subscribing to our newsletter. This means that once you have registered, we will send an email to the email address you have provided to us, asking you to confirm that you wish to receive the newsletter. If you fail to confirm your registration within three months, your information will be locked and will be automatically deleted after one month. Furthermore, we will store the IP addresses you have used and the time at which you registered/confirmed your registration in each case. The purpose of this procedure is to give us a record of your registration and to allow us to resolve any potential misuse of your personal data.
(3)	The only mandatory information we require in order for the newsletter to be sent to you is your email address. Any provision of further, separately marked data is voluntary and these will be used to address you personally. Once we receive your confirmation, we will store your email address for the purpose of sending the newsletter to you. The legal basis is art. 6, para. 1, sentence 1, point a of the GDPR.
(4)	You may revoke your consent to receiving the newsletter at any time and unsubscribe from the newsletter. To do so, you can click on the link provided in each Newsletter email, send an email to dialog@dial.de or you may declare your revocation by sending a message to the contact details provided in the website information.
(5)	Please note that we analyse your user behaviour when we send out the newsletter. Using the data obtained in this way, we compile a user profile so that we can provide you with a newsletter tailored to your interests. This represents a legitimate interest as per art. 6, para. 1, sentence 1 of the GDPR. We record the time at which you read our newsletter and the links you click on in it and, from this, derive your personal interests. For this analysis, the emails we send out contain "tracking pixels". You can object to this tracking at any time by clicking on the separate link provided in each email or by notifying us via another contact channel. The information will be stored for as long as you are subscribed to the newsletter. When you unsubscribe, we will store the data purely for statistical purposes and in an anonymous form.
