4. Data Processing via the Consent-Management-Platform

This website uses various services and applications (collectively, “Tools“) that are deployed either by glomex itself or by third parties through the Consent Management Platform (“CMP“). Below, users will be informed about the use of Usercentrics with IAB TCF, the technologies used, the purposes and legal basis, and the tools specifically used by glomex.

4.1 Usercentrics, IAB TCF and TC-String

The Usercentrics tool by Usercentrics GmbH, Sendlinger Straße 7, 80331 Munich (“Usercentrics“) is used as the CMP for obtaining and managing user consents, revocations and objections. The current version of the IAB Transparency and Consent Framework (“TCF“) standard is observed, which specifies conclusive categories of processing purposes and the associated legal bases. In addition, TCF makes it possible to directly forward the decisions made by users in the CMP, such as consents, revocations and objections, to the providers of the technologies in the CMP. The so-called TC string is used for this purpose. This ensures that the current wishes of the users are always observed and followed by the providers. The content of the TC string is described below.

Usercentrics generates a banner that informs users about the data processing on this website and gives them the option to consent to all, some or no data processing through optional tools. This banner appears on the first visit to this website and when users revisit their choice of settings to change them or withdraw or object to consents. The banner will also appear on subsequent visits to this website if the information in the local storage has been deleted or has expired.

The following User Data is transferred to Usercentrics as part of the website visit: consents, revocations and objections, IP address, information about the browser, terminal device and the time of the visit. In addition, Usercentrics stores the following necessary information in local storage and session storage on the terminal device used for documentation purposes:

  • “uc_settings”: storage of the consents, revocations and objections to each purpose category, the version of the CMP, the language and the User ID of Usercentrics;
  • “uc_tcf”: storage of the TC string in machine-readable form for transmission to the providers of the tools under the IAB TCF with information on consents and legitimate interests as well as revocations and objections to individual purpose categories and individual providers;
  • “us_user_interaction”: storage of the interaction with the banner that took place;
  • “uc_user_country” (session): Storage of the country.

Data processing by Usercentrics is necessary to provide users with the legally required consent management and to comply with documentation obligations. The legal basis for the use of Usercentrics is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c and f GDPR, justified by glomex’s interest in fulfilling the legal requirements for consent management. Access to and storage of information in the terminal device is absolutely necessary in these cases and takes place on the basis of the implementation laws of the ePrivacy Directive of the EU member states, in Germany in accordance with Section 25 para. 2 TTDSG.

4.2 Used Technologies

The tools used use the following technologies in particular to store information in the user’s terminal device or to access it:

  • Cookies: information stored on the terminal device, consisting in particular of a name, a value, a storing domain and an expiry date. So-called session cookies (e.g. PHPSESSID) are deleted after the session, while so-called persistent cookies are deleted after the specified expiry date. Cookies can also be removed manually.
  • Web Storage (Local Storage / Session Storage): information stored on the terminal device, consisting of a name and a value. Information in session storage is deleted after the session, while information in local storage has no expiry date and remains stored unless a mechanism for deletion has been set up (e.g. storage of a local storage with time entry). Information in Local and Session Storage can also be removed manually.
  • JavaScript: programming codes (scripts) embedded in or called up from the website that, for example, set cookies and web storage or actively collect information from the terminal device or about the user’s usage behaviour. JavaScript can be used for “active fingerprinting” and the creation of usage profiles. JavaScript can be blocked by a setting in the browser, although most services will then no longer function.
  • Pixel: tiny graphic automatically loaded by a service, which can make it possible to recognise users by automatically transmitting the usual connection data (in particular IP address, information on browser, operating system, language, address called up and time of call-up) and to determine, for example, whether an e-mail was opened or a website visited. With the help of pixels, “passive fingerprinting” and the creation of usage profiles can be carried out. The use of pixels can be prevented, for example, by blocking images, e.g. in e-mails, although the display is then severely restricted.

With the help of these technologies and also through the mere establishment of a connection on a page, so-called “fingerprints” can be created, i.e. usage profiles that do not require the use of cookies or web storage and can still recognise users. Fingerprints based on the connection setup cannot be completely prevented manually.

Most browsers are set by default to accept cookies, the execution of scripts and the display of graphics. However, users can usually adjust their browser settings to reject all or certain cookies or to block scripts and graphics. If users block the storage of cookies, the display of graphics and the execution of scripts completely, the services of glomex are not expected to function or to function properly.

4.3 Legal Basis

glomex uses tools necessary for the operation of the website on the basis of legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR in order to provide the basic functions of this website. This includes, for example, tools for the playout of non-personalised advertising and content, for billing and monetisation, for the management and integration of tools, for fraud detection and prevention, and to ensure the security of this website. In certain cases, these tools may also be necessary for the performance of a contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, in which case the processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. Access to and storage of information in the terminal device is absolutely necessary in these cases and is carried out on the basis of the implementation laws of the ePrivacy Directive of the EU member states, in Germany according to Section 25 para. 2 TTDSG.

All other non-essential (optional) tools that provide additional functions are used by glomex on the basis of users’ consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. These include, for example, tools that serve to recognise users and to statistically record and analyse general usage behaviour on this and other websites. With the help of these tools, glomex can track usage habits and adapt and optimise this website. They also include, for example, tools that help to create usage profiles about usage behaviour and the advertisements and content viewed or clicked on by users. This enables the classification into advertising categories, the display of personalised advertising and content on this and other websites and the glomex player as well as the retargeting of advertising on other websites. Access to and storage of information in the terminal device then takes place on the basis of the implementation laws of the ePrivacy Directive of the EU member states, in Germany in accordance with Section 25 para. 1 TTDSG.

If personal data is transferred to third countries (such as the USA), please refer to section 8  (“Third Country Transfer”), also with regard to the risks that this may entail.

5. Data Processing in Social Networks

glomex maintains company pages on social networks in order to communicate there with customers and interested parties, among others, and to provide information about the services of glomex. The User Data is usually processed by the social networks concerned for market research and advertising purposes. In this way, usage profiles can be created based on the interests of the Users. For this purpose, cookies and other identifiers are stored on the users’ computers. Based on these usage profiles, advertisements are then placed within the social networks, for example, but also on third-party websites.

As part of the operation of these company pages, it is possible that glomex can access information such as statistics on the use of these company pages, which are provided by the social networks. These statistics are aggregated and may include, in particular, demographic information (e.g., age, gender, region, country) as well as data on interaction with these company pages (e.g., likes, subscription, sharing, viewing of images and videos) and the posts and content distributed via them. This may also provide information about the users’ interests and which content and issues are particularly relevant to them. This information can also be used by glomex to adapt the design and activities as well as content on the company site and optimise it for the users. Users can find details and links to the social network data that glomex can access as the operator of the company pages in the list below. The collection and use of these statistics are generally subject to joint responsibility. Where this applies, the relevant contract is listed below.

The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, based on glomex’s legitimate interest in effective information and communication with Users, or Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, in order to stay in contact with and inform customers and to carry out pre-contractual measures with interested parties.

If the users have an account with the social network, it is possible that glomex can see the users’ publicly available information and media when glomex accesses the users’ profiles. In addition, the social network may allow glomex to contact the users. For example, this may be via direct messages or via posted articles. The content communication via the social network and the processing of the content data is subject to the responsibility of the social network as a messenger and platform service. As soon as glomex transfers or processes User Data in its own systems, glomex is independently responsible for this. This is done in order to carry out pre-contractual measures and to fulfil a contract in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR.

Users can find the information abou the legal basis for the data processing carried out by the social networks under their own responsibility in the data protection information of the respective social network. The links below also provide the users with further information on the respective data processing and the options to object. Users can also contact glomex with their concerns. In this case, glomex will process the request and forward it to the provider of the social network.

Below, the users will find a list with information on the social networks on which glomex operates company pages:

 

6. Categories of Recipients

The Users Data will generally be processed by glomex. Exceptionally, data may be passed on to third parties in the following cases:

  • Users have given their explicit consent– Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR;
  • if it is required or stipulated by law, in particular if this is necessary for legal prosecution or enforcement due to official inquiries, court orders and legal proceedings (e.g. as part of a tax audit by the tax authorities or as part of money laundering prevention) – Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR;
  • if it is necessary to protect the users’ or glomex’ interests for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims and there is no reason to assume that Users have an overriding interest worthy of protection in not having the data disclosed – Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR;

7. Third Country Transfer

glomex may transfer personal data outside of the European Economic Area (“EEA”) (so-called third countries), especially by using providers which are located in third countries or process the data there. Third countries do not have a level of data protection which corresponds to that of the European Union (“EU”). Insofar as this is the case and the European Commission has not issued an adequacy decision (Art. 45 GDPR) for these countries, glomex have taken appropriate safeguards to ensure an adequate level of protection for the transfer in third countries. These include, among others, the Standard Contractual Clauses of the European Union (“SCC”) or Binding Corporate Rules (“BCR”).

Where this is not possible, glomex base the data transfer on exceptions of Art. 49 GDPR, in particular the users’ explicit consent or the necessity of the transfer for the performance of the contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. Where a third country transfer is intended and no adequacy decision or appropriate safeguards are in place, it is possible and there is a risk that authorities in the respective third country (e.g. intelligence services) may gain access to the transferred data in order to collect and analyze it, and that enforceability of Users’ data subject rights cannot be guaranteed. In case of obtaining users’ consent via the consent banner, they will be informed about this as well.

8. Storage Period

glomex stores personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which glomex collected the data (e.g. the data will be stored for the duration of this business relationship). Thereafter, glomex delete the data immediately, unless glomex still need the data until the expiry of the statutory limitation period for evidence purposes for claims under civil law, due to statutory retention obligations or there is another legal basis under data protection law for the continued processing of the data in the specific individual case.

For evidentiary purposes, glomex is committed to retain contractual data in particular for three years from the end of the year in which the business relationship ends. Any claims become statute-barred at this point at the earliest in accordance with the standard statutory limitation period.

Even after this, the data partly will be stored for accounting reasons (e.g. at least for the duration of the statutory accounting obligations). glomex is obliged to do so because of legal documentation obligations that may arise from the German Commercial Code, the German Fiscal Code, the German Banking Act, the German Money Laundering Act (Geldwäschegesetz) and the German Securities Trading Act (Wertpapierhandelsgesetz). The periods specified there for the retention of documents are two to ten years.

For the storage period of the data collected in the context of the use of the glomex player, glomex refers to the separate privacy policy: https://www.glomex.com/en/privacy-policy/privacy-notice-for-the-glomex-player/. 

9. Data Subjects Rights

9.1Overview and Enforcement

The users (“Data Subjects”) are entitled to the data subjects rights at any time if the respective legal requirements are met:

a. Right to withdraw the consent (Art. 7 para. 3 GDPR)

More information on withdrawal is available to Data Subjects under section 9.2.

b. Right to object to data processing (Art. 21 GDPR)

More information on objection is available to Data Subjects under section 9.3.

c. Right of access by the Data Subject (Art. 15 GDPR)

Data Subjects have the right to request a copy of any personal data which glomex hold about them.

d. Right to rectification (Art. 16 GDPR)

Data Subjects have the right to rectify their personal data, if they consider that the information glomex is holding is inaccurate.

e. Right to erasure (Art. 17 GDPR)

Data Subjects have the right to ask glomex to delete their personal data, if they consider that glomex do not have the right to hold it.

f. Right to restriction (Art. 18 GDPR)

Data Subjects have the right to restrict processing of their personal data.

g. Right to data portability (Art. 20 GDPR)

Data Subjects have the right to receive their personal data which glomex hold about them and to transmit those data to another controller.

To exercise the Data Subjects rights, Data Subjects can contact glomex at any time using the contact details above in section 1. This also applies if Data Subjects wish to receive copies of the safeguards demonstrating an adequate level of data protection in case of data transfer to third countries. Provided that the respective legal requirements are met, glomex will comply with the data subject request.

The data subject requests to exercise data protection rights and the responses of glomex to them will be stored for the documentation purposes for a period of up to three years and, in individual cases, for longer if this is necessary for asserting, exercising or defending legal claims. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, based on the interest of glomex in defending against any civil claims under Art. 82 GDPR, avoiding fines under Art. 83 GDPR and fulfilling the accountability obligations under Art. 5 para. 2 GDPR.

9.2 Right to withdraw the consent (Art. 7 para. 3 GDPR)

Data Subjects have the right to withdraw their consent for the processing of their personal data (to the extent such processing is based on previously obtained consent) at any time. This has the consequence that glomex no longer continues the data processing based on this consent with the future effect. The withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of the processing based on the consent until the withdrawal. If Data Subjects wish to exercise their right of withdrawal, an informal message using the contact details above in section 1 will suffice.

9. 3 Right to object (Art. 21 GDPR)

Data Subjects have the right to object to the processing of their data, if glomex process Data Subjects data on the basis of legitimate interests, at any time on grounds relating to their particular situation. If it is a matter of objecting to the processing of data for direct marketing purposes, Data Subjects have a general right of objection, which will also be implemented by glomex without giving reasons. If Data Subjects wish to exercise their right of withdrawal, an informal message using the contact details above in section 1 will suffice.

9.4 Right to lodge (Art. 77 GDPR)

Data Subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with any data protection authority in the EU, for example, a supervisory authority in the member state of your their residence, workplace or the location of the alleged violation. For glomex, the competent supervisory authority is the Data Protection Authority of Bavaria for the Private Sector / Bayerisches Landesamt für Datenschutzaufsicht (BayLDA), Promenade 18, 91522 Ansbach, Germany. E-Mail: poststelle@lda.bayern.de.
