ELO PARTNERPORTAL ONLINE PRIVACY POLICY
I. Information about collecting personal data on the ELO PartnerPortal, the ELO Community, and the ELO Online Academy
The ELO PartnerPortal at partner.elo.com ("Partner Portal" in the following) is the central platform for ELO Business Partners and other authorized persons (customers using the applications ELOprofessional and ELOenterprise). The Partner Portal, which is operated exclusively by ELO Digital Office GmbH, Tübinger Str. 43, 70178 Stuttgart, Germany, offers information from the development, sales, product management, and marketing departments, and the ELO Academy. Furthermore, the Partner Portal is a web interface in which ELO Business Partners can maintain and manage their partner profile, references and events.
The Partner Portal also gives users access to the ELO Community and the ELO Online Academy. Access to the ELO Community or the ELO Online Academy is conditional upon the user registering for the Partner Portal and accepting the Privacy Policy; this also applies to these platforms, hereinafter referred to as "portal(s)" or "website(s)". The logon credentials for the Partner Portal can also be used to gain access to the ELO Community or the ELO Online Academy.
The following section contains information on how your personal data is processed:
Personal data is all information referring to an identified or identifiable natural person (see Art. 4 No. 1 General Data Protection Regulation, "GDPR" in the following). This includes information such as your name, e-mail address, usage behavior, or postal address. Information that cannot be directly linked to your identity, for example, the number of users of a website, is not considered personal information.
II. Name and address of the controller

III. General information on processing data
a) Scope of processing personal data
We process your personal data only to the extent necessary to provide a functional website and for our content and services, and only data that are needed to carry out the stated purpose (principle of data minimization). Your personal data will only be processed if it constitutes a justified interest pursuant to Art. 6 GDPR or it is expressly allowed by law.
b) Data deletion and storage period
Your personal data will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose for which it was collected and saved and the reason for the storage no longer applies, or if you request us to delete or block it. For more information, refer to the section on the rights of data subjects.
IV. Processing personal data when visiting our website
a) Proper processing of personal data
When using the website for information purposes only, i.e. if you do not register or otherwise provide us with information by entering data, we only collect the personal data your browser automatically transmits to our server via log files. The log files contain
the IP address of the user • date and time of access/request
website that the request originates from
b) Legal basis for processing data
The legal basis for temporary storage of data and log files is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.
c) Purpose of processing data
Temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary for delivery of the website to your computer. The IP address must remain stored for the duration of the session. It is stored in log files in order to ensure the functionality of the website. This data also helps us to optimize the website and to ensure the security of our information technology systems. In this context, the data is not analyzed for marketing purposes.
d) Storage duration
The data is stored in log files for seven days. Data can also be stored beyond this period. In this case, user IP addresses are deleted or disguised so that it is no longer possible to associate them with the respective client.
e) Right to object and right to erasure
We are required to collect and store specific data in log files for the purpose of delivering the website and to ensure it works properly. While the user does not have the right to object to this, you will find other rights of data subjects at the end of this page.
We use cookies to store information that allows us to customize our site according to your individual interests and make our website more user-friendly. A cookie is a small piece of data that stores configuration information (e.g. language setting, logon credentials) on your end device.
The cookies used on the website are broadly classified into strictly necessary cookies and optional cookies. The legal basis for collecting strictly necessary cookies (functional cookies) is Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. We will not set optional cookies (e.g. tracking cookies) unless we have an active indication of your consent (via the cookie consent banner) in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR.
For more information about the types of cookies, what they are used for, how long they are stored, and how you can block or delete them, click here.
The ELO Community and ELO Online Academy websites only use strictly necessary cookies. These are session cookies, that is cookies that are saved during the session and automatically deleted after the session is ended. These enable us to set the language and time zone for the duration of your website session, or to keep your session active so that you don't need to sign in again if you switch to another page, for example. These cookies are necessary to provide the portal functions. They do not store any information that could serve to identify the user, but instead act as a session ID. Session cookies are deleted when you log off from the website, your session expires automatically, or you close the browser.
VI. Processing data when using the Partner Portal, the ELO Community, and the ELO Online Academy
a) Description and scope of processing data
To use our portal, you must register by specifying your e-mail address, a custom password, and a user name of your choice. The following information must also be provided:
Use of a real name is mandatory; anonymous accounts are not permitted.
You can provide all other information on a voluntary basis while using our portals. This pertains to information such as:
Your logon credentials will be linked to the ELO Community and to the ELO Online Academy website, enabling you to use these portals with the same logon credentials. The following data will be processed when using the ELO Online Academy website:
When the user answers multiple choice questions at the end of a course for self-assessment purposes or to complete a course (see "Skill management" under VII for more details).
When the user gives feedback at the end of a course
When community posts are linked to the user in the Academy section of the ELO online community
Your entire profile is not visible to other users of the Partner Portal.
This does not apply when you use the ELO Community community.elo.com with your ELO PartnerPortal login credentials. In this case, your user name, job title, and company are visible to other members. To prevent third parties from gaining unauthorized access to your personal data, the connection is encrypted.
Registration serves to fulfil a contract or to carry out pre-contractual duties that the user (you) are bound to by contract. The legal basis for processing data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. The legal basis for processing further (voluntary) data as part of the registration process, as well as when submitting feedback or posts, is user agreement as per Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR, as you are neither legally nor contractually obliged to provide this information.
Your registration is mandatory to fulfil a contract or to carry out pre-contractual duties. The data collected is required to set up a Partner Portal account and use the services available there and well as to provide access to the ELO Online Academy and the ELO Community. We store data you have provided voluntarily (including posts and feedback) to optimize our offering, including support, portal services, and integration of the community features on and between the individual portals.
If you use our portal, we save your data required to fulfill the contract until you delete your account permanently. Furthermore, we store the data you have provided voluntarily for as long as you use the portal, unless you delete it first or request its deletion. You can manage and change all information in the Partner Portal. The lawfulness of processing previously collected data remains unaffected by deletion or processing.
You have the option to delete your registration on the Partner Portal at any time. You can request changes to the data stored on your person at any time.
When creating an account on the Partner Portal, the data you enter is stored and can be revoked. You can delete all data, including your user account, in the ELO PartnerPortal yourself.
If data is required to fulfil a contract or carry out pre-contractual duties, it is only possible to delete data prematurely provided no contractual or legal obligations would disallow deletion.
You can also edit your profile in the ELO Online Community, as long as it relates to voluntary information. Changes to master data must be made on the Partner Portal.
f) Disclosure to third parties and third countries
This data will not be passed on to third parties or any third countries.
VII. Information relating to skill management in the ELO Online Academy
ELO manages the contents and materials offered on the platform through a skill management system. This enables users to track their progress and attain levels of expertise. Skill management is based, among other things, on the analysis of access to e-learning, the results achieved in final tests, the blended learning offer, and the number of virtual classrooms that the user attends. This information is automatically compared with the classification level set by ELO. The user's level of expertise is assigned based on this. The level changes in accordance with the user activity. The user can see which level they are currently at on the dashboard.
The skill management system tracks the user activity on the platform and allocates qualifications or skills in accordance with the activities carried out. The acquired qualifications and skills are mapped as levels, meaning that the learning history is deleted once the user has reached the level. The learning history only contains records of completed courses and attended trainings.
The answers to the multiple-choice questionnaires for self-assessment purposes are not visible to anyone except the user. The multiple-choice questionnaires used to complete a course are tracked for the purpose of awarding the corresponding level.
b) Purpose and legal basis
The skill management system maps the user's learning progress to facilitate better resource planning and improve the quality of product knowledge and the application. This in turn enables the ELO Business Partner, the user, and authorized persons at ELO to plan more effectively, acquire projects to suit their requirements and to get continuous training. The legal basis for this is the legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 sec. 1 (f) GDPR.
c) Storage period and deletion
The levels that the user achieves on the skill management system are stored in the learning history until no longer required. This is the case after two years if ELO has not previously received instructions to delete the user profile or the user has not registered with a new account. Further, the learning history will be deleted if the user requests this from ELO.
d) Disclosure to third parties and third countries
The data will not be passed on to any third party or third country. However, data is disclosed by means of transmission (pursuant to Art. 4 GDPR). Such data is only disclosed to persons at ELO or the ELO Business Partner who are involved in planning training measures. Further, only the information about the skill status is transmitted, but not the tracked data.
e) Automated decision-making
There is an automated decision-making process pursuant to Art. 22 para. 1 and 4 GDPR which, however, has no legally binding force (see "Purpose"). Suggestions for courses may be made to the user but accepting or rejecting them does not have any disadvantages for the user in relation to ELO.
