DI Blue and its brands greatly value the protection of your personal data. Therefore, to ensure the confidentiality of your data, we collect, use, and store data solely on the basis of existing laws and in accordance with the data protection principles mentioned here.

 

Our website uses the encryption protocol TLS (Transport Layer Security). This encrypts any personal data that you provide over our website. Please note, however, that data transmission over the internet (e.g., when communicating via email) may have security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data from access by third parties is not possible. To protect your data, we maintain technical and organizational security measures in accordance with Article 32 GDPR, which we always adapt to the state of the art technology.

 

We do not guarantee that our website is permanently available; disturbances, interruptions, or failures cannot always be avoided. The servers we use are regularly and carefully backed up.

3. What Data We Use and Why

 

We use your personal data only as far as it is necessary for operating and optimizing our website, and for providing the services offered. When you visit our website, the following data may be gathered:

3.1 General Access Data

 

When you visit our site, data about your usage and interaction with us is automatically transmitted and technical information about the computer or device that you are using is also registered. This data includes the following:

​

• Name and URL of the data retrieved

• Time and date of the retrieval

• Volume of data transmitted

• Report on successful recall (HTTP response code)

• Type and version of browser

• Operating system

• Referring URL (i.e., the site you used to reach us)

• Websites that are accessed by the user's system via our website

• Your internet service provider

• Your IP and the requesting provider

 

We use this protocol data, without any association with yourself and without creating a user profile of any kind, to make statistical evaluations of the operation, security, and optimization of our online services, but also to anonymously record the number of visitors to our site as well as how and to what extent our website is used. Based on this information, we can analyze data traffic, find and amend errors, and improve our website. This is our legitimate interest and is in accordance with Article 6 paragraph 1 p. 1 of the GDPR.

3.2 Contact Data (Communication)

 

When you get in contact with us (e.g., via contact form or email), we save your details to process the request as well as for the event in which follow-up questions arise. This is also our legitimate interest which is in line with Article 6 paragraph 1 sentence 1 of the GDPR. We will only use any further saved personal data with your consent, or if we are permitted by law to do so without special consent.

3.3 Contact Data (News and Newsletters)

 

It is important to us that you enjoy reading our news and our newsletters. That is why we strive to only include topics that might be relevant to you.

 

When subscribing to the free Autom8, the sign-up process will require certain information. The subscription to the newsletter is logged. After subscribing, you will receive a message to the email address that you provided, in which you are asked to confirm your subscription (“double opt-in”). This is necessary so that third parties cannot register with their email address. You are able to withdraw and unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time. We keep your subscription for as long as it is required for sending out the newsletter.

 

We save the logged registrations and recipient addresses as long as an interest in the proof of original consent exists; as a rule, these are the statutes of limitation for a civil claim, which is a maximum of three years.

 

Sending a newsletter upon your consent is in accordance with the legal basis of Article 6 (1) sentence 1, in conjunction with Article 7 of the GDPR in conjunction with § 7 (2) No. 3 UWG.

 

Independent from the newsletter, we are able to also infrequently send selected news, invites to potentially interesting events, etc. for informative purposes. You are able to withdraw your subscription to the newsletter, and thus also the aforementioned information, at any time. To do this, you can find an unsubscribe link on our website, in every newsletter and every informative email.

4. Disclosure of Data to Third Parties, No Data Transfer to Non-EU Countries

 

We fundamentally only use your personal data within our company. If and insofar as we engage third parties for contracted services, only the data required for the corresponding service is transmitted, so that services can be completed. Should it be the case that we outsource specific aspects of data processing (order processing), the data processor is contractually obliged to use personal data in accordance with the requirements of the general data protection regulation, and to guarantee the protection of rights of the parties involved.

 

We rely on external hosting services to provide the following services: infrastructure and platform services, computing capacity, memory and database services, security services and technical maintenance services, which are used for the operation of the website. We thus process the following data respectively: our hosting provider's inventory data, contact data, content data, contract data, usage data, and the metadata and communication data of customers and visitors of the site.

 

We do this because it is necessary for our legitimate interests in providing an efficient and secure website, following Article 6, paragraph 1, sentence 1 of the GDPR, in conjunction with Article 28 of the GDPR. The data is not transmitted to agencies or persons outside the EU, nor do we plan to do so in the future.
