Data Privacy / Terms

1. QUERIES / ORDERS

After sending your query online, we will promptly get in touch with you. You will receive your very personal quote after a conversation with one of our customer consultants. Afterwards, our services can be ordered in writing or via phone. We would like to kindly emphasize that we consider orders which are placed via phone as binding. After your order has been placed, written or verbally, the conditions stated here apply.

 

2. FEES / INVOICES

You will find information about the fees of our services in your personal quote. As a matter of course, we will establish an official invoice for our efforts. Our prices do not include VAT if the respective order is carried out for companies in Germany. If the invoice for individual services is sent to a company outside the European Union and a withholding tax of whatever kind is levied in this country, the net invoice amount stated in our quote must be increased by the amount that corresponds to the amount of the withholding tax. The withholding tax is therefore to be paid indirectly by our clients.

The fees/prices stated in quotes are valid for four weeks - starting on the day the quote has been sent to the inquirer; unless other validity periods are explicitly stated in the respective quote.

 

3. CANCELLATION / POSTPONEMENT

The contractee and/or contractor can cancel the booking of services or postpone the mutually agreed upon date at any time. Written notice of either must be provided in either case.

In the event of a cancellation or postponement, the following reimbursements will apply to the contractee.

Cancellation/postponement up to 43 days before the service begins: No costs

Cancellation/postponement 32-42 days before the service begins: 25% of the fee listed in the quote

Cancellation/postponement 15-31 days before the service begins: 50% of the fee listed in the quote

Cancellation/postponement 0-14 days before the service begins: 100% of the fee listed in the quote

In case of cancellation of the booked services or postponement of the stipulated date of service which is caused by the client, the client is bound to pay all expenses that are associated with services booked with third parties on behalf of our services and that can no longer be cancelled without paying a fee.

This transmits to the server which of our Internet pages you have visited. The IP address of the browser of your end device is also stored by the provider. We have no influence on the scope and further use of the data collected and processed by the provider through the use of the service.

XXI. Google Maps

We use the service on our website.

This allows us to show you interactive maps directly in the website and enables you to use the map function comfortably. Through your visit to our website, the provider receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding subpage of our website. In the process, your IP address is transmitted.

XXVI. Microsoft Advertising (früher Bing Ads)

We use the service on our website.

The service enables us to draw attention to our offerings with the help of advertising media on external websites. This enables us to determine how successful individual advertising measures are. These advertising media are delivered by the provider via so-called "AdServers". For this purpose, we use so-called AdServer cookies, which can be used to measure certain parameters for measuring success, such as display of the ads or clicks by users. If you access our website via a corresponding advertisement, a cookie is stored on your PC by the service. They are not intended to identify you personally. The following information is usually stored as analysis values for this cookie: unique cookie ID, number of ad impressions per placement (frequency), last impression (relevant for post-view conversions), opt-out information (marking that the user no longer wishes to be addressed). These cookies enable the provider to recognize your web browser. If a user visits certain pages of the website and the cookie stored on his computer has not yet expired, the provider and the site operator can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page. A different cookie is assigned to each site operator. Cookies can therefore not be traced through the websites of other page operators. We ourselves do not collect or process any personal data in the aforementioned advertising measures. We only receive statistical evaluations from the provider. 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 tools; 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 the provider's server. We have no influence on the scope and further use of the data collected on the part of the provider through the use of the service. To our knowledge, the provider receives the information that you have called up the relevant part of our website or clicked on an advertisement from us. If you have a user account with the provider and are registered, the provider can assign the visit to your user account. Even if you are not registered with the provider or have not logged in, there is the possibility that the provider learns your IP address and stores it.

We use the service for marketing and optimization purposes, in particular to display relevant and interesting ads for you and thus improve our offer, make it more interesting for you as a user and avoid annoying ads.

The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. a) GDPR (consent).

USE OF ZOOM AS A TOOL FOR ONLINE TRAINING

We use the tool "Zoom" for certain forms of online training. When using "Zoom" different types of data are processed. The scope of the data also depends on the details of the data you provide before or when participating in an "online meeting".

 

The following personal data are processed:

User information: first name, last name, telephone [optional], email address, password [if "single sign-on" is not used], profile picture [optional], department [optional]

Meeting metadata: subject, description [optional], participant IP addresses, device / hardware information

For recordings [optional]: MP4 file of all video, audio and presentation recordings, M4A file of all audio recordings, text file of the online meeting chat.

When dialing in with the phone: information on the incoming and outgoing phone number, country name, start and end time. If necessary, further connection data such as the IP address of the device can be saved.

Text, audio and video data: You may have the option of using the whiteboard, chat, question or survey functions in an "online meeting". In this respect, the text entries you make are processed in order to display them in the "online meeting" and, if necessary, to record them. In order to enable the display of video and the playback of audio, the data from the microphone of your terminal device and any video camera on the terminal device are processed accordingly for the duration of the meeting. You can switch off or mute the camera or microphone yourself at any time using the "Zoom" applications.

In order to take part in an “online meeting” or to enter the “meeting room”, you must at least provide information about your name.

 

Scope of data processing:

We use “Zoom” to conduct “online meetings”. If we want to record "online meetings", we will inform you transparently in advance and - if necessary - ask for your consent. The fact that a recording is taking place is also displayed in the "Zoom" app.

If necessary, for the purpose of saving the results of an online meeting, we might log the chat content. However, this will usually not be the case. Plus, we would ask for the participants consent before we save any chat contents.

In the case of webinars, we can also process the questions asked by webinar participants for the purpose of recording and following up webinars. Plus, we would ask for the participants consent before we save any chat contents.

If you are registered as a user at "Zoom", reports on "Online Meetings" [meeting metadata, data on telephone dial-in, questions and answers in webinars, survey function in webinars] can be saved for up to one month in "Zoom".

Automated decision-making within the meaning of Art. 22 GDPR is not used.

 

Legal basis for data processing:

Insofar as personal data is processed by employees of Eidam & Partner, Section 26 BDSG is the legal basis for data processing. If, in connection with the use of "Zoom", personal data are not required for the establishment, implementation or termination of the employment relationship, but are nevertheless an elementary component in the use of "Zoom", Article 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR is applicable the legal basis for data processing. In these cases, we are interested in the effective implementation of "online meetings".

Otherwise, the legal basis for data processing when conducting "online meetings" is Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR, insofar as the meetings are carried out in the context of contractual relationships.

If there is no contractual relationship, the legal basis is Art. 6 Paragraph 1 lit. f) GDPR. Here, too, we are interested in the effective implementation of "online meetings".

 

Recipient / transfer of data:

Personal data that are processed in connection with participation in "online meetings" are generally not passed on to third parties unless they are intended to be passed on. Please note that content from "online meetings" as well as from personal meetings is often used to communicate information with customers, interested parties or third parties and is therefore intended to be passed on.

Other recipients: The provider of "Zoom" necessarily receives knowledge of the above data, insofar as it is part of the order processing contract we agreed upon with "Zoom".

 

Data processing outside the European Union:

"Zoom" is a service that is provided by a provider from the USA. This means, processing of personal data might also take place in a third country. We have concluded an order processing contract with the provider of "Zoom", which meets the requirements of Art. 28 GDPR.

On the one hand, an adequate level of data protection is guaranteed by the conclusion of the so-called EU standard contractual clauses. As a supplementary protective measure, we have also made our Zoom configuration so that only data centers in the EU are used for conducting "online meetings".

You can revoke the consent given to us to process your personal data, also for offers from third parties, at any time. You can declare your revocation or objection by sending an email to our email address given in the legal notice. The customer data provided by you will be deleted no later than 2 months after the completion of the respective training measure, both by us and by any third parties commissioned.

We use the tool "MS Teams" for certain forms of online training. If we do not use the MS Teams environment of the respective customer when using "MS Teams", but rather the Eidam & Partner internal MS Teams accounts, different types of data are processed. The scope of the data also depends on the details of the data you provide before or when participating in an "online meeting".

 

The following personal data are processed:

User information: first name, last name, telephone [optional], email address, password [if "single sign-on" is not used], profile picture [optional], department [optional]

Meeting metadata: subject, description [optional], participant IP addresses, device / hardware information

For recordings [optional]: MP4 file of all video, audio and presentation recordings, M4A file of all audio recordings, text file of the online meeting chat.

When dialing in with the phone: information on the incoming and outgoing phone number, country name, start and end time. If necessary, further connection data such as the IP address of the device can be saved.

Text, audio and video data: You may have the option of using the whiteboard, chat, question or survey functions in an "online meeting". In this respect, the text entries you make are processed in order to display them in the "online meeting" and, if necessary, to record them. In order to enable the display of video and the playback of audio, the data from the microphone of your terminal device and any video camera on the terminal device are processed accordingly for the duration of the meeting. You can switch off or mute the camera or microphone yourself at any time using the "MS Teams" applications.

In order to take part in an “online meeting” or to enter the “meeting room”, you must at least provide information about your name.

 

Scope of data processing:

We use “MS Teams” to conduct “online meetings”. If we want to record "online meetings", we will inform you transparently in advance and - if necessary - ask for your consent. The fact that a recording is taking place is also displayed in the "MS Teams" app.

If necessary, for the purpose of saving the results of an online meeting, we might log the chat content. However, this will usually not be the case. Plus, we would ask for the participants consent before we save any chat contents.

In the case of webinars, we can also process the questions asked by webinar participants for the purpose of recording and following up webinars. Plus, we would ask for the participants consent before we save any chat contents.

If you are registered as a user at "MS Teams", reports on "Online Meetings" [meeting metadata, data on telephone dial-in, questions and answers in webinars, survey function in webinars] can be saved for up to one month in "MS Teams".

Automated decision-making within the meaning of Art. 22 GDPR is not used.

 

Legal basis for data processing:

Insofar as personal data is processed by employees of Eidam & Partner, Section 26 BDSG is the legal basis for data processing. If, in connection with the use of "MS Teams", personal data are not required for the establishment, implementation or termination of the employment relationship, but are nevertheless an elementary component in the use of "MS Teams", Article 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR is applicable the legal basis for data processing. In these cases, we are interested in the effective implementation of "online meetings".

Otherwise, the legal basis for data processing when conducting "online meetings" is Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR, insofar as the meetings are carried out in the context of contractual relationships.

If there is no contractual relationship, the legal basis is Art. 6 Paragraph 1 lit. f) GDPR. Here, too, we are interested in the effective implementation of "online meetings".

 

Recipient / transfer of data:

Personal data that are processed in connection with participation in "online meetings" are generally not passed on to third parties unless they are intended to be passed on. Please note that content from "online meetings" as well as from personal meetings is often used to communicate information with customers, interested parties or third parties and is therefore intended to be passed on.

Other recipients: The provider of "MS Teams" necessarily receives knowledge of the above data, insofar as it is part of the order processing contract we agreed upon with "MS Teams".

 

Data processing outside the European Union:

"MS Teams" is a service that is provided by a provider from the USA. This means, processing of personal data might also take place in a third country. We have concluded an order processing contract with the provider of "MS Teams", which meets the requirements of Art. 28 GDPR.

On the one hand, an adequate level of data protection is guaranteed by the conclusion of the so-called EU standard contractual clauses. As a supplementary protective measure, we have also made our MS Teams configuration so that only data centers in the EU are used for conducting "online meetings".

You can revoke the consent given to us to process your personal data, also for offers from third parties, at any time. You can declare your revocation or objection by sending an email to our email address given in the legal notice. The customer data provided by you will be deleted no later than 2 months after the completion of the respective training measure, both by us and by any third parties commissioned.

EVALUATION OF ADVANCED TRAINING SERVICES

We use an online questionnaire to evaluate our trainings, coachings and webinars. This questionnaire is operated by easyfeedback GmbH, Ernst-Abbe-Strasse 4, 56070 Koblenz, Germany. Participation in the survey is voluntary for every participant. Consent to data processing must be given personally by each participant before using the online questionnaire.

The online questionnaire is used anonymously. At request of the individual users, however, the first and last name as well as an email address can be entered in the questionnaire. The participants can also give their consent to use our free inclusive services, namely our cross-cultural business tips and a license for Country Navigator. If the participants decide to do this, easyfeedback GmbH will store this data on servers in Germany. The storage of the participant's email address as well as their first and last name is necessary in order to provide them with access data for the free inclusive services of our company, in particular our cross-cultural business tips and a license for Country Navigator, and to prove their consent to these services. The basis for processing the data is Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. a) GDPR.

We will only pass this data to easyfeedback GmbH. Furthermore, we will only pass on this data if requested by the participants. Easyfeedback GmbH has assured us that this data will not be passed on to third parties in any form and will only be used for the purposes mentioned above. The data protection regulations of easyfeedback GmbH also apply.

Easyfeedback GmbH will also store statistical data when participants are using the online questionnaire. In the course of this, the participant's IP address, the device which was used, the start and end date of the survey, the duration of the survey, the number of questions answered, the language used, the source where the participant came from and the answers to the survey are stored anonymously. After 6 months, all data will be deleted by default. We use the data mentioned to analyze and improve the use of our online questionnaire, to evaluate our training event, to avoid multiple participation in a survey and to be able to assign the respective questionnaire exactly to a particular event. Through this statistical evaluation, we can also improve our offer and make it more interesting for our users. This is our legitimate reason in processing the above data. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR.

Every participant can revoke her/his consent to the processing of her/his personal data, including offers from third parties, at any time. You can declare the revocation or the objection by sending an email to our email address given in the imprint.
