2.5 Marketing Automation with SALESmanago

On our website we use the service "SALESmanago" of BENHAUER Sp. z o.o. 21 Grzegórzecka St. 31-532 Krakow, Poland.

This service stores text files (cookies) locally on your terminal device to enable recognition when you visit our website again. With this recognition option, we create an initially pseudonymized user profile in order to subsequently provide you with personalized advertising.

This initially pseudonymized usage profile will not be merged with your personal data without your express consent, which must be given separately. Insofar as such a combination takes place, this is based on the legal basis of consent previously given by you in accordance with Article 6 (1) sentence 1 letter a) DSGVO. In this case, your user profile may be merged with the following, possibly personal data and used:

  • First and last name
  • E-mail address
  • IP address
  • Times of visits to online offers of WSW Software GmbH
  • Technical browser settings
  • Information about the company and position in the company


Furthermore, you can subscribe to our newsletter, which is also sent via SALESmanago, on the basis of your consent pursuant to Article 6 (1) sentence 1 letter a) DSGVO. The only mandatory data for sending the newsletter is your e-mail address. The provision of further, separately marked data is voluntary and will be used to address you personally.

For the Subscribe to our newsletter we use the so-called double opt-in procedure. After your registration, we will send you an e-mail to the specified e-mail address in which we ask you to confirm that you wish to receive the newsletter. After your confirmation, we store the data you have provided for the purpose of sending the newsletter. If you do not confirm your subscription, your information will be automatically deleted. In addition, we store your IP address and the time of registration and confirmation in order to prove your registration and, if necessary, to clarify a possible misuse of your personal data.

This service evaluates on our behalf whether you open the newsletter and which links you click on. This information is provided to us in aggregated form by the service provider so that we can determine whether the contents of our newsletter are of interest to you as a recipient and whether we can improve our newsletter if necessary. The legal basis for this procedure is Article 6 (1) sentence 1 letter f) DSGVO.

For the purpose of sending the newsletter, the data will only be used until the consent is revoked. Any collection, processing or use of personal data in connection with SALESmanago takes place within the territory of the European Union. There is no obligation on the part of the visitor to provide personal data in the context of the processes described above, and a refusal to do so will not have any detrimental effects.

You can revoke your consent to the sending of the newsletter at any time and unsubscribe from the newsletter. You can declare the revocation by clicking on the link provided in every newsletter e-mail, by e-mail to news@wsw.de or by sending a message to the contact details given in the imprint.

2.6 Marketing automation with HubSpot

We use HubSpot for marketing activities on our website. 

HubSpot is a software company from the USA with a subsidiary HubSpot Ireland Limited in 2nd Floor 30 North Wall Quay, Dublin 1, Ireland. We use this integrated software solution for our own marketing, lead generation and customer service. This includes email marketing, which regulates the sending of newsletters and automated mailings, social media publishing and reporting, contact management such as user segmentation and CRM, landing pages and contact forms. 

HubSpot uses cookies, small text files that are stored locally in the cache of your web browser on your end device and enable us to analyze your use of the website. HubSpot evaluates the information collected (e.g. IP address, geographical location, type of browser, duration of the visit and pages accessed) on our behalf so that we can generate reports on the visit and the pages visited. 

The information collected via HubSpot is stored on the servers of HubSpot's service providers. 

If you have given your consent to this in accordance with Article 6 (1) sentence 1 (a) GDPR, the processing on this website is carried out for the purpose of website analysis. 

As personal data is transferred to the USA, further protective mechanisms are required to ensure the level of data protection under the GDPR. To ensure this, we have agreed standard data protection clauses with the provider in accordance with Article 46(2)(c) GDPR. These oblige the recipient of the data in the USA to process the data in accordance with the level of protection in Europe.

For the USA, there is an adequacy decision of the EU Commission pursuant to Article 45 (1) GDPR with regard to companies certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (DPF). HubSpot, Inc. is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework and is therefore committed to complying with appropriate data protection standards, which can be viewed at the following link: www.dataprivacyframework.gov/s/participant-search.

2.7 Online surveys

To conduct surveys, we use the services of LamaPoll, a product of Lamano GmbH & Co. KG (lamapoll.de). The data is processed by LamaPoll on servers of Lamano GmbH & Co. KG, which are located in Germany. You can find more information about data security at www.lamapoll.de/Datenschutz-Sicherheit

2.8 Registration for WSW events

With your registration you confirm your agreement to our privacy policy regarding events.
The personal data you provide as part of the event registration form and event registrations will be used for the purpose of event registration and implementation. We will only transfer your personal data to third parties if this is necessary to carry out the event in which you are participating. The information requested is a prerequisite to enable your participation. Consent is voluntary and is given without prejudice to the right of revocation with effect for the future, provided that there are no legal grounds to the contrary. However, non-consent may result in participation in the relevant event becoming impossible.

By registering, you agree that image and sound recordings that may be made during the event may be used for public relations purposes. The photos taken at an event may subsequently be published in print products, on the WSW website and in the employee network. WSW will not pass them on directly to third parties for other purposes. Nevertheless, we would like to point out that the photos can be accessed worldwide when published on the Internet. A further use of these photos by third parties can therefore not be generally excluded. The declaration of consent is valid from the date of registration until the time you leave the event. This declaration of consent can be revoked at any time with effect for the future. The revocation has the effect that published photos will be removed from the WSW websites and no further photos will be posted. Deletion of the photos from the websites may take a few working days after receipt of your revocation. In the case of publication of a group photo, the subsequent revocation of an individual person does not, in principle, result in the image having to be removed.

Legal basis:

The legal basis for the processing of the data is your consent pursuant to Article 6 (1) (a) of the General Data Protection Regulation (DSGVO).

Google Adwords Conversion Tracking

We use the offer of Google Adwords to draw attention to our offers with the help of advertising media (so-called Google Adwords) on external websites. Google Conversion Tracking is an analysis service of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, parent company: Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; "Google"). We can determine how successful the individual advertising measures are in relation to the data of the advertising campaigns.

The above-mentioned advertising media are delivered by Google via so-called "ad servers". For this purpose, we use ad server cookies, through which certain parameters for measuring success, such as display of the ads or clicks by users, can be measured. If you access our website via a Google ad, Google Adwords will store a cookie on your PC. These cookies usually lose their validity after 30 days and, according to Google, are not intended to identify you personally. 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 usually stored as analysis values for this cookie.

These cookies enable Google to recognize your internet browser. If a user visits certain pages of the website of an Adwords customer and the cookie stored on his computer has not yet expired, Google and we can recognize that the user has clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page. A different cookie is assigned to each Adwords customer. Cookies can therefore not be tracked via the websites of Adwords customers. We ourselves do not collect and process any personal data in the aforementioned advertising measures. We only receive statistical evaluations from Google. Based on these evaluations, we can see which of the advertising measures used are particularly effective. We do not receive any further data from the use of the advertising media; in particular, we cannot identify users on the basis of this information.

Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection with Google's server. We have no influence on the scope and further use of the data collected by Google through the use of this tool and therefore inform you according to our state of knowledge: Through the integration of AdWords Conversion, Google receives the information that you have called up the corresponding part of our website or clicked on an ad from us. If you are registered with a Google service, Google can assign the visit to your account. Even if you are not registered with Google or have not logged in, there is the possibility that the provider learns your IP address and stores it.

Legal basis:

If you have consented to the use of Google Ads Conversion Tracking, the legal basis for the processing of your data is this consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) DSGVO.

You can find more information that Google provides on privacy here:  http://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy and https://services.google.com/sitestats/de.html.

Mouseflow

This website uses Mouseflow, a web analytics tool from Mouseflow ApS, Flaesketorvet 68, 1711 Copenhagen, Denmark, to record randomly selected individual visits (with anonymized IP address only).

5. data protection for applications

5.1 softgarden applicant portal

On our website, we offer you the opportunity to conveniently apply to us for advertised positions via a portal provided or linked specifically for this purpose. For this purpose, we use the application platform of softgarden e-recruiting GmbH, Tauentzienstraße 14, 10789 Berlin.

As part of your application process, documents uploaded by you are processed and analyzed in order to extract resume data and convert it into a structured form (so-called "CV parsing"). To ensure data subject rights and security standards, a contract for order processing has been concluded with the providing service provider. The processor is the ISO27001 certified provider Textkernel B.V. Nieuwendammerkade 26 A 5, (1022AB) Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Data processing takes place within the EU on servers in the Netherlands and Germany.

The legal basis for the processing is Section 26 (1) Sentence 1 of the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) and Article 6 (1) Sentence 1 Letter f) of the German Data Protection Regulation (DSGVO), in order to initiate an employment relationship and to make the application process efficient for you. Personal data will not be transferred to third countries. Your data will be routinely deleted in accordance with the relevant retention periods.

Further information on data protection for the softgarden portal can be found under the following link: https://wsw-software.softgarden.io/de/data-security.

5.2 Applicant interviews via video conference

6. data security

We strive to take all necessary technical and organizational security measures to adequately protect your personal data from unauthorized access and misuse at all times. We only handle your personal data to the extent that this is possible in accordance with data protection regulations.

Insofar as personal data is stored or processed, this is done exclusively by certified data center operators (see under Hosting). To protect the security of your data during transmission, we use encryption methods (e.g. SSL) via HTTPS. Servers are secured by means of firewall and virus protection. Furthermore, back-up and recovery procedures as well as role and authorization concepts are a matter of course for us.

Our employees are obliged to observe the regulations of the DSGVO and the BDSG when handling data.

7. automatic decision making

Automated decision-making based on the personal data collected does not take place.

8. disclosure of data to third parties, data transfer to non-EU/EEA countries

In principle, we only use your personal data within our company.

If and to the extent that we involve third parties in the performance of contracts, they will only receive personal data to the extent that the transfer is necessary for the corresponding service.

In the event that we outsource certain parts of data processing ("commissioned processing"), we contractually oblige our commissioned processors to use personal data only in accordance with the requirements of data protection laws and to ensure the protection of the rights of the data subject.

If data transfers to third countries are unavoidable, they will be carried out exclusively in compliance with the legally regulated admissibility requirements. If the transfer of data to a third country is not for the performance of a contract, we do not have the consent of the data subject(s), the transfer is not necessary for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims, and no other exemption applies, we will only transfer data to a third country if an adequacy decision pursuant to Article 45 of the GDPR or appropriate safeguards pursuant to Article 46 of the GDPR are in place. As a rule, we achieve appropriate guarantees under Article 46 of the GDPR and an adequate level of data protection by concluding the Standard Contractual Clauses (SCC) issued by the European Commission with the receiving entity.

9. changes to the data protection notice

WSW Software GmbH reserves the right to change the data protection information in order to adapt it to changed legal situations or in the event of changes to the service and data processing. However, this only applies with regard to declarations on data processing. Insofar as user consent is required or components of the data protection information contain provisions of the contractual relationship with the users, the changes will only be made with the consent of the users.

We ask our users to regularly inform themselves about the content of the data protection notice.
