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.

OPEN SEMINARS

By sending our online application form, respectively the consignment of the printed application form, you offer Eidam & Partner the realization of our contract of further education. With an according confirmation from our side, a legal contract comes about.

In addition, you will receive an invoice over the attendance fee about three weeks before the start of the event, which falls due for payment before the start of the event.

3. NUMBER OF PARTICIPANTS

Every seminar has a minimum number of participants of four persons. Much to our regret, the concerning event cannot take place, if this minimum is not achieved up to two weeks before the start of the event. In this case, we will inform you, at the latest, ten days in advance of the respective appointment via e-mail or telephone.

The declared participants as well as their commissioning company hereby waive all rights concerning compensation and reimbursement of expenses for contingent omitted seminars.

The maximum number of participants for every open seminar is twelve persons. We also ask for your understanding that this number also cannot be exceeded in exceptional cases.

PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA THROUGH COOKIES

We use so-called cookies on our website. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your data-storage device [e.g., on your hard drive] and that allow certain information to be transferred to us. Cookies can’t execute programs or transfer viruses to your device. This website uses the following kinds of cookies, whose breadth and functionality will subsequently be explained. Cookies that will be stored and associated with your web browser:

Persistent cookies: These cookies are automatically deleted after a predefined amount of time, which can differ depending on the cookies. These cookies can be deleted in your web browser’s preferences at any time.

The processing of personal data through the aforementioned cookies serves to make our website offerings more effective and user-friendly in general. Certain features of our website can’t be offered without the use of these cookies. In specific, some features of our website require that your web browser can be identified even after changing pages.

Provided you have an account, we use cookies to be able to identify you for follow-up visits. This allows for the avoidance of you having to sign in to our website every time you visit. The data that’s processed through the use of cookies and that’s required for the provision of features on our website is not used to generate user profiles. If cookies are used for analysis purposes, these serve to improve the quality, content, features and user-friendliness of our website. They allow us to track how the website is used, which features are used and how often they’re used. This allows us to continuously optimize our offerings.

They generally require the specification of other personal data. We require this data to perform the services in question. The data-processing guidelines mentioned above apply here as well.

For the processing of this data, we sometimes rely on external service providers that we have carefully selected and commissioned. These service providers are bound by our instructions, and we regularly monitor them. To the extent that personal data collected for services offered in conjunction with partners is shared with third parties, you can find more detailed information in the following descriptions of individual services. To the extent that these third parties are located in a country outside the European Economic Area, you can find more detailed information on the effects of this circumstance in the following descriptions of individual services.

CONTACT

When you contact us via e-mail, the personal data you send to us with your e-mail will be saved. We also have a contact form on our website that you can use to contact us. When this form is submitted to us, we will save the data you enter into it, including the following:

To sign up to receive the newsletter, you have to provide us with the following required data:

E-mail address
Form of address

If you submit other personal data during registration, this submission is considered voluntary.

No data will be shared with third parties in connection with the processing of data for the transmission of the newsletter. This data will be used exclusively for the transmission of the newsletter.

If we don’t utilize one of the third parties mentioned below to send the newsletter, no data related to the processing of data for the transmission of the newsletter is transferred to third parties.

The aforementioned data will be deleted as soon as the achievement of the aforementioned purposes is no longer required.

You can revoke your consent to be sent the newsletter at any time by unsubscribing from the newsletter. You can do this by clicking the unsubscribe link contained in every newsletter e-mail you receive from us. You can alternatively unsubscribe from the newsletter through the form provided on our website.

We would like to inform you that we analyze your user behavior with regard to the transmission of our newsletter. The newsletter e-mails we send contain so-called web beacons and tracking pixels. The latter is a one-pixel image that is stored on our website. The data mentioned in this paragraph and the web beacons are connected with your e-mail address and an individual ID for analysis. The links contained in the newsletter also contain this ID. We use this data to generate a user profile. This allows us to register when you read the newsletter and which links in the newsletter you click on. This allows us to deduce your personal interests. We link this data with your user behavior on our website.

The processing of this data serves the purposes of tailoring the newsletter to your individual interests, optimizing our offerings and making them more interesting for you overall.

If you have granted us consent, the legal basis for the processing of this data is pursuant to Art. 6 Sec. 1 Point [a] of the GDPR. If processing is otherwise based on our justifiable interests, the legal basis is pursuant to Art. 6 Sec. 1 Point [f] of the GDPR. If you have granted us consent for the aforementioned processing of data, you can revoke it at any time.

You can object to this analysis of your user behavior at any time by clicking the separate link contained in every newsletter e-mail. You can also prevent the aforementioned analysis of your user behavior by deactivating the default display of images in your e-mail program. We would like to point out that in this case the newsletter will not be displayed in full and you may not be able to make use of all the newsletter’s features. If you manually activate the display of images, the aforementioned analysis of your user behavior will once again occur.

NEWSLETTER SOFTWARE

We use a software from Sendinblue GmbH for our newsletters. Your data will thus be transferred to Sendinblue GmbH, Köpenicker Str. 126, 10179 Berlin.

To use the comment function, the submission of your chosen user name and your e-mail address is required. All other information you submit is voluntary.

We save your e-mail address for as long as your comment is publicly visible. If you have granted us consent to store your data, you can revoke it at any time.

When you publish a comment with the checkbox activated, you’ll receive an e-mail through which you have to confirm your e-mail address and your desire to receive our notification e-mails in the future. We will store your personal data, including your e-mail address, the time you registered for the service and your IP address, until you unsubscribe from the notification service. You can unsubscribe from the notifications at any time by clicking on the link contained in the e-mail.

DOUBLECLICK

We use the service on our website.

Among other things, the service uses cookies, which are small text files that are stored locally in the cache of your web browser on your end device. Via a cookie ID, the provider records which ads are placed in which web browser. This can prevent ads from being displayed more than once. The service can also use the cookie IDs to record so-called conversions that are related to ad requests. This is the case, for example, when you see a corresponding ad and later call up the advertiser's website with the same web browser and buy something there. According to the provider, the aforementioned cookies do not contain any personal data. By using the service, 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 by 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, it is possible that the provider will learn your IP address and store it.

If your browser does not support this function, a standard font is used by your computer for display. The integration of these fonts is done by a server call at a server of the provider.

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. This occurs regardless of whether the provider provides a user account through which you are logged in or whether there is no user account. If you are logged in to the provider, your data will be directly assigned to your account. If you do not want the assignment to your profile with the provider, you must log out in advance. The provider stores your data as usage profiles and uses them for purposes of advertising, market research and/or demand-oriented design of the website. Such an evaluation is carried out in particular (even for users who are not logged in) for the provision of needs-based advertising and to inform other users about your activities on our website.

E-LEARNING

Our commercial activities also include the use of licenses for eLearning modules.

Our eLearning modules don’t belong to Eidam & Partner’s own range of services. For these offerings, we merely mediate between you and the third party that actually carries them out, Materna TMT GmbH. To take advantage of our offer, it’s necessary to give your first name, last name and e-mail address to Materna TMT GmbH, as this company is responsible for providing your desired service. Storage of your first name, last name and e-mail address is necessary so that your login data for the eLearning modules can be sent to you and so that you can clearly be identified as a user. The legal basis for the processing of this data is pursuant to Art. 6 Sec. 1 Point [a] of the GDPR.

We will only share your data with Materna TMT GmbH. Moreover, we will only share your data at your express request. Materna TMT GmbH has assured us that your data will in no way be shared with third parties and will only be utilized for the purpose of using eLearning modules. Materna TMT GmbH’s data protection regulations also apply, which you will have to confirm separately through Materna TMT GmbH.

Materna TMT GmbH stores a statistical evaluation of your user behavior as part of your use of the eLearning modules. This includes the anonymous storage of your IP address, your activities within the learning platform, your learning progress, your logins, the amount of logins, the first and last logins and your location. After the license expires, at a time disclosed to you during the registration process, all data will be deleted by default within a maximum of six months. We use this data to analyze the use of the eLearning modules and to be able to continuously improve certain features, offerings and the user experience. This statistical analysis allows us to be able to improve our offerings and make them more interesting for you as a user. This is our justifiable interest in the processing of the aforementioned data. The legal basis is pursuant to Art. 6 Sec. 1 Point [f] of the GDPR.

You can revoke the consent you have granted us to process your personal data, as well as for offerings from third parties, at any time. You can declare your revocation or dissent by sending an e-mail to the e-mail address listed on our legal page.

We can use this to find out how successful individual advertising measures are. These ads are delivered by Google through ad servers. We use so-called ad-server cookies, which assist us in our ability to measure certain parameters of success such as displayed ads and user clicks.

The following information is typically stored in these cookies as analysis values: unique cookie ID, number of ad impressions per listing [frequency], last impression [relevant for post-view conversions], opt-out information [tag indicating that the user no longer wants to be appealed to].

These cookies allow Google to recognize your web browser. If a user visits certain pages of an AdWords customer’s website and the cookie stored on the user’s computer hasn’t expired, Google and the customer can detect that the user clicked the ad that directed him or her to that page.

With these analyses, we can detect which implemented advertising measures are particularly effective. We obtain no further data from the use of these advertising measures. In particular, we cannot identify users with the help of this information. The utilization of these marketing tools automatically establishes a direct connection between your browser and Google’s server.

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".

USE OF MS TEAMS AS A TOOL FOR ONLINE TRAINING

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.

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 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:

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".

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.
