10. Newsletter

With your consent to the collection, processing and use of your data, you can subscribe to our newsletters on various topics, with which we inform you regularly about products, training offers, learning materials, events and news. To subscribe to our newsletter, we use the so-called double opt-in procedure. This means that after your registration, we will send you an email to the email address you provided, in which we ask you to confirm your newsletter subscription. In order to prove your registration and, if necessary, to be able to clarify a possible misuse of your personal data, we log the subscription to the newsletter. We save the sending of the confirmation mail and the receipt of your hereby requested response as well as the data of the registration and confirmation. The data will be used solely by Heidelberg Engineering and will not be passed on to third parties.If you do not confirm your subscription within three days, we will send you a reminder. If you do not click the confirmation link in the reminder either, we will no longer be able to send you our newsletter.

The only mandatory data for sending the newsletter is your email address. The provision of further, separately marked data is voluntary and will be used to address you personally. The legal basis is Article 6 paragraph 1 s. 1 lit. a GDPR.

You can withdraw your consent to the storage of your personal data and its use for sending the newsletter at any time.

The legal basis is Article 6 paragraph 1 s. 1 lit. f GDPR.

15. Marketing Cloud Account Engagement

We use Marketing Cloud Account Engagement - MCAE (formerly known as Pardot), the marketing automation solution of Salesforce.com, Inc., Salesforce Tower, 415 Mission Street, 3rd Floor, San Francisco, CA 94105, USA, which is linked to our Salesforce CRM system. In addition to the Salesforce infrastructure, MCAE uses Amazon Web Services, Inc. as a hosting provider (third-party hosting provider). The data processing is carried out on our behalf on the basis of a contract data processing agreement that we have concluded with Salesforce.

We use the MCAE software in online marketing for:

• systematically recording, analyzing and optimizing our website
• provision of personalized content and product recommendations
• implementation of (automated) marketing campaigns and advertising activities
• measuring the success of marketing campaigns
• implementation of our email newsletter service
• provision of landing pages and forms

The legal basis is Article 6 paragraph 1 s. 1 lit. f GDPR.

You can register for our email newsletter service as part of your Business Lounge account registration, or you can do so separately via our website. For this purpose, we provide you with a MCAE form embedded in our website or – if your browser does not display the form – directly with a link to the form created in MCAE. When you click on the subscribe button in this MCAE form, a session cookie called “Pardot” is set in your browser by MCAE. We have no influence on the setting of the cookie and its content.

On this website MCAE creates a user profile from the information about your interaction with our website and the content provided through it (including your IP address, the click path, the data listed in the section “Collection of personal data when visiting our website” of this Privacy Policy, and cookies). We can merge the user profiles created through MCAE with your customer data stored by us and with other activities.

MCAE places cookies for website tracking. These tracking technologies help us to find out which topics are of interest to you. We can recognize which pages were visited and which links were clicked on. We use this information to improve the content we provide on the website. The cookies are only generated if you have activated “MCAE” in our Consent Management Tool Usercentrics. The legal basis is Article 6 paragraph 1 s. 1 lit. a GDPR.

MCAE respects the “Do Not Track” initiative. You can configure this option in your browser. If this option is activated, MCAE does not use cookie-based tracking. If you want to prevent tracking by MCAE, you can ensure this as follows:

• via Privacy settings
  
• through your browser settings
• through an extension of your browser

However, this may lead to certain limitations in the functions and user-friendliness of our offer.

MCAE sets first-party cookies for tracking purposes, and sets third-party cookies for redundancy. Using first-party and third-party cookies together is standard in the marketing automation industry. MCAE cookies don’t store personally identifying information, only a unique identifier. Below is an overview of the cookies set by MCAE with a maximum validity of 365 days:

• visitor_id<accountid>: The visitor cookie includes a unique visitor ID and the unique identifier for your account. For example, the cookie name visitor_id12345 stores the visitor ID 1010101010. The account identifier, 12345, makes sure that the visitor is tracked on the correct MCAE account. The visitor value is the visitor_id in your MCAE account. This cookie is set for visitors by the MCAE tracking code.
• pi_opt_in<accountid>: If Tracking Opt-in preferences is enabled, the pi_opt_in cookie is set with a true or false value when the visitor opts in or out of tracking. If a visitor opts in, the value is set to true, and the visitor is cookied and tracked. If the visitor opts out or ignores the opt-in banner, the opt-in cookie value is set to false. The visitor cookie is disabled, and the visitor is not tracked.
• visitor_id<accountid>-hash: The visitor hash cookie contains the account ID and stores a unique hash. For example, the cookie name visitor_id12345-hash stores the hash “855c3697d9979e78ac404c4ba2c66533”, and the account ID is 12345. This cookie is a security measure to make sure that a malicious user can’t fake a visitor from MCAE and access corresponding prospect information.
• lpv<accountid>: This LPV cookie is set to keep MCAE from tracking multiple page views on a single asset over a 30-minute session. For example, if a visitor reloads a landing page several times over a 30-minute period, this cookie keeps each reload from being tracked as a page view.

16. Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics tool provided by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”). In the European Economic Area (EEA) and Switzerland, the service is provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Google Analytics uses “cookies”, which are text files saved on your computer, to help the website to analyze how you use the site. The cookies are only generated if you have activated “Google Analytics” in our consent management tool Usercentrics. The legal basis is Article 6 paragraph 1 s. 1 lit. a GDPR.

The information generated by the cookies and regarding your behavior when using the website (including your IP address) will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. If the IP anonymization is activated, Google will truncate/anonymize the last octet of the IP address for Member States of the European Union as well as for other parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before transferring data. Only in exceptional cases, the full IP address is sent to Google servers in the USA and then shortened.

On behalf of the website provider, Google will use this information for the purpose of analyzing your behavior when you are using the website, compiling reports on website activity and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage to the website provider. Google will not link your IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics to any other data stored by Google.

You may disable cookies by selecting the appropriate settings in your browser. However, please note that if you do this, you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website. Furthermore, you can object to forwarding the data collected with cookies when you visit this website (including the IP address) to Google and prevent Google from processing of data by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en-US.

You can refuse the use of Google Analytics by clicking on the following link. An opt-out cookie will be set on the computer, which prevents the future collection of your data when you visit this website: Disable Google Analytics

Please be aware that if you choose to disable all cookies, also opt-out cookies will be disabled as well.

This website uses Google Analytics with the extension “_anonymizeIp()”. With this extension, all IP addresses will be shortened what makes it impossible to link data to a particular individual. If for some reason data can be linked to a specific individual this link will be directly excluded and personal data will be deleted.

17. Google Tag Manager

19. Integration of YouTube videos

We have included YouTube videos in our online offering, which are stored on http://www.YouTube.com and are directly playable from our website. The YouTube website is operated by YouTube LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA (“YouTube”), a subsidiary of Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. In the European Economic Area (EEA) and Switzerland, the service is provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. The legal basis is Article 6 paragraph 1 s. 1 lit. a GDPR.

If you have activated “YouTube Video” in our consent management tool Usercentrics and visit a subpage of our website in which a YouTube video is embedded, YouTube will receive the information that you have accessed the corresponding subpage of our website. In addition, the data listed in the section “Collection of personal data when visiting our website” of this Privacy Policy will be transmitted.

If you have deactivated “YouTube Video” in our consent management tool Usercentrics and visit a subpage of our website that uses a link to a YouTube video, no personal data will initially be transmitted to YouTube. This is ensured by using the so-called two-click solution. For this purpose, the area of the webpage on which the video is placed is represented by a graphic that serves as a placeholder. Only when you click the “Accept” button, the video is embedded and YouTube receives the aforementioned information.

Once YouTube videos are embedded based on your consent, we have no influence on the then collected data and data processing procedures, nor are we aware of the full scope of the data collection, the purposes and the storage periods. YouTube processes your data regardless of whether you have an account with YouTube and are logged in there. If you are logged in, the data collected by YouTube will be directly assigned to your account. If you do not want the assignment to your YouTube account, you must log out before activating the button. This consent activates “YouTube Video” in Usercentrics and thus applies to the entire website.

YouTube stores your data as user profiles and uses them for purposes of advertising, market research and/or demand-driven design of its website. Such an evaluation is carried out in particular (also for users who are not logged in) for the display of demand-driven advertising and to inform other YouTube users about your activities. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, whereby you must contact YouTube to exercise this right.

For more information on the purpose and scope of data collection and processing by YouTube, please refer to Google's privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en

20. Integration of Survicate

On this website we use the survey tool from Survicate Sp. z o. o., Zamiany 8 LU2, Warsaw, mazowieckie 02-786, Poland ("Survicate"). This allows us to display interactive surveys directly on the website and enables you to participate.

Your entries in the surveys are forwarded to Survicate for evaluation purposes without any personal reference. Also the cookies that Survicate sets and processes to recognize whether a user has already participated in the survey do not contain any personal data.

For more information on Survicate, please visit: http://help.survicate.com/en/articles/3943207-terms-of-service-privacy-policy-gdpr-and-dpa

21. Integration of Google reCAPTCHA

During registration for the "File Upload" offered on this website, we use the service “reCAPTCHA”, Version 3, provided by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”). In the European Economic Area (EEA) and Switzerland, the service is provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. We use reCAPTCHA to detect abusive, automated machine processing (“bots”) when entering information into the registration form. User behavior – such as mouse movements, IP addresses, or queries performed – is evaluated by reCAPTCHA to distinguish individuals from bots. So in most cases it is sufficient to simply check the box to confirm that you are not a bot. Only in exceptional cases you have to solve a text or picture puzzle.

We are legally obligated to implement appropriate technical and organizational measures in order to protect user data. reCAPTCHA is such a technical measure. Furthermore, the use of an alternative captcha variant for the registration to "File Upload" is technically not supported. The legal basis is Article 6 paragraph 1 s. 1 lit. c GDPR in accordance with Article 32 paragraph 1 GDPR.

2 Contact

You can send us your inquiry to the email addresses we provide or use our general contact form. The personal data that you provide to us as part of your inquiry will solely be stored and used by us to respond to your inquiry. We delete this personal data after the storage is no longer necessary or restrict the processing if there are statutory storage obligations.

The legal basis is Article 6 paragraph 1 s. 1 lit. f GDPR, when using the contact form also Article 6 paragraph 1 s. 1 lit. a GDPR. If you contact us in connection with an existing contract or a contract you wish to enter into with us, additional legal basis is Article 6 paragraph 1 s. 1 lit. b GDPR.

3 Newsletter

With your consent to the collection, processing and use of your data, you can subscribe to our newsletters on various topics, with which we inform you regularly about products, training offers, learning materials, events and news. To subscribe to our newsletter, we use the so-called double opt-in procedure. This means that after your registration, we will send you an email to the email address you provided, in which we ask you to confirm your newsletter subscription. In order to prove your registration and, if necessary, to be able to clarify a possible misuse of your personal data, we log the subscription to the newsletter. We save the sending of the confirmation mail and the receipt of your hereby requested response as well as the data of the registration and confirmation. The data will be used solely by Heidelberg Engineering and will not be passed on to third parties.If you do not confirm your subscription within three days, we will send you a reminder. If you do not click the confirmation link in the reminder either, we will no longer be able to send you our newsletter. Should your newsletter subscription be the only reason for processing your data, it will be deleted accordingly.

The only mandatory data for sending the newsletter is your email address. The provision of further, separately marked data is voluntary and will be used to address you personally. The legal basis is Article 6 paragraph 1 s. 1 lit. a GDPR.

You can withdraw your consent to the storage of your personal data and its use for sending the newsletter at any time. To do so, click on the link provided in each newsletter, send an email to Newsletter@HeidelbergEngineering.com or send a message to the contact details of the controller as stated in this privacy policy.

Please note that we analyze your user behavior when sending the newsletter. For this analysis, the emails sent contain tracking pixels, so-called one-pixel image files, and personalized tracking links. We use this data to find out which topics are of interest to you and to improve the content provided. We record whether and when the newsletters we send to you are opened and which links are clicked on. The legal basis is Article 6 paragraph 1 s. 1 lit. f GDPR.

Tracking based on the one-pixel image files is prevented if you have deactivated the display of images in your email program by default. In this case the newsletter will not be displayed completely and you may not be able to use all functions. If you display the images manually, the above-mentioned tracking will take place. Clicks on personalized tracking links are always logged.

To provide our newsletter service, we use the marketing automation solution Salesforce Marketing Cloud Account Engagement, which we explain in the “Marketing Cloud Account Engagement” section of this Privacy Policy.

We use Marketing Cloud Account Engagement - MCAE (formerly known as Pardot), the marketing automation solution of Salesforce.com, Inc., Salesforce Tower, 415 Mission Street, 3rd Floor, San Francisco, CA 94105, USA, which is linked to our Salesforce CRM system. In addition to the Salesforce infrastructure, MCAE uses Amazon Web Services, Inc. as a hosting provider (third-party hosting provider). The data processing is carried out on our behalf on the basis of a contract data processing agreement that we have concluded with Salesforce.

We use the Pardot software in online marketing for:

• systematically recording, analyzing and optimizing our website
• provision of personalized content and product recommendations
• implementation of (automated) marketing campaigns and advertising activities
• measuring the success of marketing campaigns
