Definitions

Our data protection declaration should be easy to read and understand for the public as well as for our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to explain the terms used in advance. We use the following terms, among others, in this data protection declaration:

personal data

An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.

Restriction of processing
Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting its future processing.
Profiling
Profiling is any type of automated processing of personal data which consists of using such personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyse or predict aspects relating to that natural person's performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, location or change of location.
Pseudonymisation
Pseudonymisation is the processing of personal data in such a way that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organisational measures which ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.
Controller or person responsible for processing

However, public authorities that may receive personal data in the context of a specific investigation mandate under Union or Member State law shall not be considered as recipients.
Third party
Third party means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body other than the data subject, the controller, the processor and the persons authorised to process the personal data under the direct responsibility of the controller or the processor.
Consent
Consent is any freely given indication of the data subject's wishes for the specific case in an informed and unambiguous manner, in the form of a statement or any other unambiguous affirmative act by which the data subject indicates that he or she consents to the processing of personal data relating to him or her.

you have given your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. a GDPR,

this is legally permissible and necessary for the processing of contractual relationships with you according to Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. b GDPR.

Contact forms and support forms

If you have any questions or support requests, we offer you the opportunity to contact us using the forms provided on the website. In addition to the actual message, we require your name and a valid e-mail address so that we know what kind of information you want from us, who the request is from and so that we can answer it.

If you subscribe to a newsletter of our company or one of our services, the data in the respective input mask will be transmitted to the controller. The registration for our newsletter is carried out in a so-called double opt-in procedure. This means that after registration you will receive an e-mail in which you are asked to confirm your registration. This confirmation is necessary so that no one can register with other people's e-mail addresses. When registering for the newsletter, the user's IP address and the date and time of registration are stored. This serves to prevent misuse of the services or the e-mail address of the person concerned. The data is not passed on to third parties. An exception to this is if there is a legal obligation to pass on the data. The data is used exclusively for sending the newsletter. The subscription to the newsletter can be cancelled by the data subject at any time. Likewise, consent to the storage of personal data can be revoked at any time. For this purpose, a corresponding link can be found in each newsletter. The legal basis for the processing of the data after the user has registered for the newsletter is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) DSGVO if the user has given his consent. The legal basis for sending the newsletter as a result of the sale of goods or services is Article 7 (3) UWG.

Duration of storage and deletion of data

In order to be able to fulfill offers and contractually agreed services within the defined framework, data is stored for as long as a business relationship exists between you and Salenture, unless otherwise stipulated by law for the storage of processed data. Unless otherwise defined, a business relationship begins when you sign up for a Salenture offer and ends when you or Salenture terminates the business relationship. The deletion of data may be requested by you in the context of your business relationship with Salenture on the basis of data subject rights. For legal reasons, the right to erasure of data only extends to data collected by Salenture, or at the request of Salenture, or data collected by you. Data provided to us outside of a business relationship or outside of the use of one of our offers will be deleted within the scope of the rights of the data subject, unless they conflict with applicable law. Salenture reserves the right to charge you for expenses incurred for deletions requested by you on the basis of data protection rights and which exceed a reasonable and proportionate measure, at a rate customary in the industry.
