Privacy Policy Privacy policy for the website

1. What is personal data?

Personal data includes individual information about personal or factual circumstances of an identified or identifiable natural person (data subject), for example, your real name, age, marital status, address, email address, telephone number, bank details or date of birth.

2. Principle of anonymous processing

Unless otherwise stated in the following sections, no personal data are collected, processed or used when you use our website.

If you wish to view our website, we collect the following data, which is technically necessary for us to display our website to you and to ensure stability and security. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 letter f) of the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

While preserving your anonymity, information is transmitted when you visit our website, such as

• IP address
• Browser type/version
• Operating system used
• Referrer URL (the previously visited page)
• Time of the server request

PSI Software SE cannot assign these data to specific persons. These data are not merged with other data sources; the data are also deleted after a statistical evaluation and used exclusively to improve the attractiveness, content and functionality of our websites.

3. Cookies

In order to constantly optimize our website, we use so-called cookies. Cookies are files that the websites you visit transfer to your computer for identification and later serve to facilitate navigation. This means that you do not have to re-enter all the necessary data each time you use the site. It is thus possible for us to tailor our web pages exactly to your needs. If you wish to prevent the use of cookies, you can refuse the acceptance of cookies in your browser. Please refer to the instructions of your browser manufacturer to find out how this works in detail.

When accessing our website, all users of our website are also informed by an information banner about our use of cookies and referred to this data privacy notice. As a user, you will also be asked for your consent to the use of certain cookies, in particular for the personalization of services and for marketing measures. Once you have given your consent, you can revoke it at any time with effect for the future by unchecking the box next to the processing to which you have consented.

The legal basis for possible processing of personal data by means of cookies and their storage period may vary. Insofar as you have given us consent, the legal basis is Art.6 para.1 sentence 1 letter a) GDPR. Insofar as the data processing is based on our overriding legitimate interests, the legal basis is Art.6 para. 1 sentence 1 letter f) GDPR. The stated purpose then corresponds to our legitimate interest. The cookies used on this website can be viewed in the cookie settings:

3.1 Google Ads (previously Google AdWords), remarketing and conversion tracking

We use the service Google Ads. Google Ads is an online advertising program of Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. The responsible entity for users in the EU/EEA and Switzerland is Google Ireland Limited, Google Building Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland.

This means that we place Google Ads and also use Google remarketing and conversion tracking as part of this. The ads are displayed after search queries on websites of the Google advertising network. In addition, we use Ads remarketing lists for search ads. This allows us to customize search ad campaigns for users who have visited our website before. Through the services, we have the opportunity to combine our ads with certain search terms or to display ads for previous visitors in which, for example, services are advertised that the visitors have viewed on our website. We can thus display interest-based advertising to users of our website on other websites within the Google advertising network (as a "Google ad" within Google search or on other websites).

An analysis of online user behavior is necessary for interest-based offers. Google uses cookies to perform this analysis. When clicking on an ad or visiting our website, a cookie is set on the user's computer by Google. These cookies have a term of 90 days. The information collected by means of the respective cookie is used to target the visitor in a subsequent search query. Further information on the cookie technology used can also be found in Google's notes on website statistics and in the privacy policy. With the help of this technology, Google and we as a customer receive information about the fact that a user has clicked on an ad and was redirected to our websites. The information obtained in this way is used exclusively for a statistical evaluation for ad optimization. We do not receive any information with which visitors can be personally identified. Your IP address is transmitted to Google, but since we use Google Analytics IP masking on this website, your IP address is anonymized. The statistics provided to us by Google include the total number of users who clicked on one of our ads and, if applicable, whether they were redirected to a page on our website that is tagged with a conversion tag. Based on these statistics, we can track which search terms were clicked on our ad particularly often and which ads lead to a contact via the contact form by the user.

Insofar as data is processed outside the EEA, where there is no level of data protection corresponding to the European standard, we have concluded EU standard contractual clauses with the service provider to establish a secure level of data protection.

You can find more information on data protection in the context of Google Ads at: https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads?hl=en

The data collection and storage take place only after explicit consent according to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 letter a) GDPR. This can be revoked at any time with effect for the future.

If you do not want your visit to be included in the user statistics, you can prevent this by preventing the storage of the cookie required for these technologies, for example, via the settings of your browser.

You also have the option to select the types of Google ads or disable interest-based ads on Google via the ads setting. Alternatively, you can disable the use of cookies by third parties by calling the deactivation help of the network advertising initiative.

However, we and Google still receive the statistical information about how many users have visited this page and when. If you also do not want to be included in these statistics, you can prevent this with the help of additional programs for your browser (for example, with the  Ghostery add-on).

3.2. Google Analytics

Insofar as you have given your consent, Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC, is used on this website. The responsible entity for users in the EU/EEA and Switzerland is Google Ireland Limited, Google Building Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("Google").

Scope of processing

Google Analytics uses cookies that enable an analysis of your use of our website. The information collected by means of the cookies about your use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

In Google Analytics 4, the anonymization of IP addresses is activated by default. Due to IP anonymization, your IP address is shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transferred to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other data from Google.

During your website visit, your user behavior is recorded in the form of "events". Events can include:

• Page views
• First visit to the website
• Start of session
• Your "click path", interaction with the website
• Scrolls (whenever a user scrolls to the bottom of the page (90%))
• Clicks on external links
• Internal search queries
• Interaction with videos
• Ads seen/clicked

The following data are also recorded:

• Your approximate location (region)
• Your IP address (in shortened form)
• Technical information about your browser and the terminal devices you use (e.g. language setting, screen resolution)
• Your internet service provider
• The referrer URL (via which website/advertising medium you came to this website)

Purposes of processing

On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your (pseudonymous) use of the website and compiling reports on website activity. The reports provided by Google Analytics are used to analyze the performance of our website and the success of our marketing campaigns.

Recipients

Recipients of the data are/could include

Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (as a processor according to Art. 28 GDPR)

Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA

Alphabet Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA

It cannot be ruled out that U.S. authorities will access the data stored by Google.

Transfer to third countries

Insofar as data are processed outside the EU/EEA and there is no level of data protection corresponding to the European standard, we have concluded EU standard contractual clauses with the service provider to establish an appropriate level of data protection. The parent company of Google Ireland, Google LLC, is based in California, USA. A transfer of data to the USA and access by US authorities to the data stored by Google cannot be ruled out. The USA is currently considered a third country from a data protection perspective. You do not have the same rights there as within the EU/EEA. You may not have any legal remedies against access by authorities.

Storage duration

The data sent by us and linked to cookies are automatically deleted after 14 months. Data for which retention period has been reached are automatically deleted once a month.

Legal basis

The legal basis for this data processing is your consent pursuant to Art.6 para.1 sentence 1 letter a) GDPR.

Revocation

You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future by calling up the cookie settings (see cookie icon at the bottom right ) and changing your selection there. The lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent up to the revocation remains unaffected by this.

Alternatively, you can prevent cookies from being stored in the first place by configuring your browser software accordingly. However, if you configure your browser to refuse all cookies, you may experience limitations in functionality on this and other websites. You can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) to Google and the processing of this data by Google, by

a. not giving your consent to the setting of the cookie or

b. downloading and installing the browser add-on to disable Google Analytics HERE.

You can find more information about Google Analytics terms of use and Google's privacy policy at https://marketingplatform.google.com/about/analytics/terms/us/ or at https://policies.google.com/?hl=en.

3.3. Google Maps Plug-In

This site uses the mapping service Google Maps. Google Maps is a mapping service provided by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. The responsible entity for users in the EU/EEA and Switzerland is Google Ireland Limited, Google Building Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland.

In order to use the functions of Google Maps, information, including the IP address as well as the address, which is entered within the scope of the route function, can be transmitted to the provider's servers. This information is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. When you visit a website that contains Google Maps, your browser establishes a direct connection with Google's servers, whereby the map content is sent to your browser and integrated by it. The provider of this site has no influence on this data transmission. According to current knowledge, this includes the following data:

• Date and time of the visit to the web page in question,
• Internet address or URL of the web page called up,
• IP address, (start) address entered as part of route planning.

Google Maps is used in the interest of an appealing presentation of our online offers and an easy location of the places indicated by us on the website. If you do not wish Google to process data via this service, you can deactivate the use of JavaScript in your browser settings. Please note that in this case the interactive map function of Google Maps cannot be used.

Insofar as data are processed outside of the European Economic Area/EU, where there is no level of data protection that corresponds to the European standard, Google uses standard contractual clauses according to its own information.

More information on the handling of user data can be found in Google's privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en-US.

Data collection and storage is only carried out after explicit consent according to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 letter a) GDPR. This can be revoked at any time with effect for the future.

3.4. Google Forms

This site uses the form service Google Forms in various places. The provider is Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

In order to use the functions of Google Forms, it is necessary to store the data provided. This information is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. The provider of this site has no influence on this transfer of data.

The use of Google Forms is in the interest of an appealing presentation of our online offer and an easy utilization of the specified data. This represents a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 letter f) GDPR.

You can find more details on the handling of user data in Google's privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en

3.5. Google Tag Manager

We use the Google Tag Manager ("GTM") service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland ("Google"), which enables us to manage JavaScript and HTML tags for tracking and analysis using our own and third-party software. Tags are small code elements that help measure traffic and visitor behavior, understand the impact of our advertising, set up remarketing and target group orientation , and test and optimize our website. GTM is only an auxiliary service that facilitates the integration and management of our tags via an interface.

If deactivation has been carried out at the domain or cookie level, it remains in effect for all tracking tags, provided they are implemented with GTM. These processing operations are carried out exclusively with the express consent of the user in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. If you agree to the "Analysis/Statistics" category in the cookie consent banner, we reserve the right to use GTM for conversion tracking for our Google Ads campaigns. GTM is only an auxiliary service that does not use its own cookies and does not collect any personal data itself.

For more information about GTM and Google's privacy policy, please visit https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en/ and https://marketingplatform.google.com/about/analytics/tag-manager/use-policy/.

3.6. Google Looker Studio

This website uses Google Looker Studio, formerly Google Data Studio, a data management tool for data analysis and visualization. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Data may also be stored on servers in the USA (Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043). Data can be imported from various sources and converted into informative reports or interactive dynamic dashboards. Google Data Studio makes it possible to display data from a wide range of different sources and link them together, thereby improving the analysis, visualization, and measurement of our online activities.

Google Looker Studio can access data collected by Google products such as Google Analytics, Google Ads, Google Search Console, and YouTube Analytics. For more information about these Google connectors, please visit the following link: https://support.google.com/looker-studio/topic/9281288?hl=en&ref_topic=9275519&sjid=12421588081169707919-EU 

Google Looker Studio only displays data visually/graphically that has been collected using Google Analytics on the basis of the consent given in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. Google Looker Studio does not automatically become active when you visit the website. The data collected/evaluated via Google Analytics is only transferred to Google Looker Studio after PSI has created reports. No personal data is passed on to Google Looker Studio.

At the external URL https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en, you can deactivate the use of Google Analytics for the future or object to the use of Google Analytics in our cookie settings. This means that your data will not be used in Google Looker Studio either. By clicking on the link, no information about your website visit will be transmitted to Google Analytics and the use of Google Analytics for your device will be prevented. Please note that you will have to repeat this process if you remove the cookies in your browser.

A contract for order processing has been concluded with Google. 

Terms of use and guidelines for Google Looker Studio can be found at: https://cloud.google.com/terms/looker-studio?visit_id=638925901137423013-3374000218&hl=en&rd=1 

3.7. Hotjar

We use the web analytics service Hotjar to analyze the use of our website. Hotjar Ltd (St Julian's Business Centre, 3, Elia Zammit Street, St Julian's STJ 1000, Malta) complies with the provisions of the Data Protection Act, Chapter 440 of the Laws of Malta ("Applicable Law"), which implements all relevant European Union directives on data protection.

By means of Hotjar, user behavior (mouse movements, clicks, scroll height, etc.) on our websites is measured, recorded if necessary, and analyzed. Furthermore, information is collected about previously visited websites, your home country, devices used, operating systems and browsers. The IP address of the end device is only collected and stored in an anonymous way by setting the last octet of IPv4 addresses to 0 to ensure that the full IP address is never written to disk. The collected data is transferred and stored via an encrypted connection to servers located in Ireland (EU).

Recording and heatmap data are stored for 365 days from the date of creation. Responses captured by the feedback tools are deleted when no longer needed.

The purpose of the described data processing is to improve the service, the functionality of the Hotjar-based website and thus the user experience. For this purpose, Hotjar also sets cookies on your end devices, among other things. You can find more information about the cookies used at: https://help.hotjar.com/hc/en-us/articles/6952777582999-Cookies-Set-by-the-Hotjar-Tracking-Code

For more information about Hotjar's privacy compliance, click here: https://www.hotjar.com/privacy/

The data collection and storage is only carried out after consent according to Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 letter a) GDPR. This can be revoked at any time with effect for the future.

3.8. LinkedIn Insight Tag

As part of the evaluation of our online advertising, we use the LinkedIn Conversion Tracking service provided by LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Plaza, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland. For this purpose, we use LinkedIn Campaign Manager to define target groups of users based on certain characteristics, who will then see advertisements within the LinkedIn network. Users are selected by LinkedIn based on the profile information they have provided and other data provided when using LinkedIn. If a user clicks on an advertisement and is then redirected to our website, LinkedIn receives information via the conversion tag embedded on our website that the user has clicked on the advertising banner. The LinkedIn tag thus enables the collection of visited websites, including the URL, referrer ID, IP address, device and browser properties, and timestamp. IP addresses are truncated or hashed (for cross-device use) by LinkedIn. The direct identification characteristics of members are removed within 7 days to pseudonymize the data. The remaining pseudonymous data is then deleted within 180 days. With the help of the LinkedIn pixel, we can show personalized ads outside of our website without identifying individual members. Data that does not identify you is also used to improve ad relevance and reach LinkedIn members across different devices. LinkedIn members can control the use of their personal data for advertising purposes via their account settings. LinkedIn refers to the following link for adjusting advertising preferences: https://www.linkedin.com/psettings/advertising/actions-that-showed-interest

If data is processed outside the EEA, where there is no level of data protection equivalent to the European standard, we have concluded EU standard contractual clauses with the service provider to ensure a secure level of data protection.

The legal basis for processing is your voluntary consent within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. Without your consent via our consent tool in the "Analysis/Statistics" category, no data will be processed for LinkedIn conversion tracking. Once you have given your consent, you can revoke it at any time with future effect by changing your selection in the cookie settings. To deactivate the Insight Tag on our website ("opt-out"), click here.

Further information about the purpose and scope of data collection and the further processing and use of data by LinkedIn, as well as your settings options for protecting your privacy, can also be found in LinkedIn's privacy policy. Further information on LinkedIn conversion tracking can be found at: https://business.linkedin.com/marketing-solutions/conversion-tracking?ss=1. Further information on data processing and storage duration can be found at https://www.linkedin.com/help/linkedin/answer/65521?lang=en

4. Social Media

4.1. LinkedIn, XING, X, YouTube, Instagram

On our website you will find links to the social media services of X (formerly Twitter), LinkedIn, XING, YouTube, Instagram.

You can recognize links to the websites of the social media services by the respective company logo. If you follow these links, you will reach PSI's corporate presence on the respective social media service. When you click on a link to a social media service, a connection is established to the servers of the social media service. This transmits to the servers of the social media service that you have visited our website. In addition, further data are transmitted to the provider of the social media service. These include for example:

• Address of the web page on which the activated link is located
• Date and time when the website was accessed or the link was activated
• Information about the browser and operating system used
• IP address

If you are already logged in to the corresponding social media service at the time the link is activated, the provider of the social media service may be able to determine your username and possibly even your real name from the transmitted data and assign this information to your personal user account with the social media service. You can exclude this possibility of assignment to your personal user account if you log out of your user account beforehand.

The servers of the social media services X, LinkedIn, YouTube, Instagram are located in the USA and other countries outside the European Union. The data may therefore also be processed by the provider of the social media service in countries outside the European Union. Please note that companies in these countries are subject to data protection laws that do not generally protect personal data to the same extent as is the case in the member states of the European Union.

Please note that we have no influence on the scope, type and purpose of data processing by the provider of the social media service. For more information on the use of your data by the social media services integrated on our website, please refer to the privacy policy of the respective social media service.

For this purpose, your personal contact details (e.g., name, title, company, email, position, country, telephone number, and information about the company you work for (e.g., address, industry, and any other publicly available information) will be stored in our CRM system and merged with data that you yourself have provided on the PSI website or that may be stored in the CRM system.

The legal basis for processing your data is your consent within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR or our legitimate interest in direct marketing measures in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR for advertising by post, telephone, social media, or email in conjunction with § 7 (3) UWG (German Unfair Competition Act). 

You have the right to object to the use of your contact details for these purposes at any time by sending an email to info@PSI.de or by making use of the option to object in the message you have received.

We use a double opt-in procedure to authenticate your email address, i.e., you will receive a notification email in which you must confirm that you are the owner of the email address provided by clicking on a link.

In order to determine when our emails are opened and how they are used, we collect and analyze interactions with the newsletter and the access data (e.g., open rate or click rate) using standard technologies provided to us by our mailing service providers. For this purpose, our emails contain so-called web beacons, i.e., small graphic files ("pixels") that contact our web server when the email is opened. This allows us to determine whether and when an email has been opened. We also find out which of the links contained in the emails are clicked on. We use this access data to continuously improve our offerings, our content, and our customer communication, as well as for statistical purposes. The legal basis for this is your consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. If you do not want this analysis of your usage behavior, you can revoke your consent as described above.
