Data processing during the use of our websites
With this privacy policy, we would like to inform you (i.e. as user:in, interested party:in and/or visitor:in) about the type, scope and purpose of the processing of personal data within the scope of our online presence (www.inspireyou.micro-tech-europe.com) and online offers.
The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, e-mail address, company name and company address or telephone number of a data subject shall always be in line with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to MTE. By means of this data protection declaration, our company would like to inform the users of the extranet about the type, scope and purpose of the personal data collected, used and processed by us. Furthermore, data subjects are informed of their rights by means of this data protection declaration.
As the controller, MTE has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection of personal data processed through this website. Nevertheless, Internet-based data transmissions may be subject to security vulnerabilities, so that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed.
Terms of data protection
"Personal data"
means any information relating to a known or identifiable natural person ("data subject"). A person is identifiable if he or she can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identification number or to one or more factors specific to his or her physical, physiological, mental, economic, cultural or social identity. This therefore includes IP addresses or unique identification numbers stored in cookies.
"Responsible"
means the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which alone or jointly with others determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data. "Processor" means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.
"Processor"
a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.
"Processing"
means any operation or set of operations which is performed upon personal data, whether or not by automatic means, such as collection, recording, organization, filing, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.
"third country"
is any country outside the European Union or outside the European Economic Area (EU/EEA).
Basis for the lawfulness of data processing
Insofar as we obtain your consent for processing operations of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. a GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing of your personal data.
When processing your personal data for the fulfillment of a contract, Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. b GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to such processing operations that are necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures.
Insofar as the processing of personal data is necessary for the fulfillment of a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. c GDPR serves as the legal basis.
If the processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and if the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the first-mentioned interest, Article 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. f GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing.
Data is processed for the following purposes
Provision of the website
The training and education offering INSPIRE.YOU of MICRO-TECH Europe GmbH collects a series of general data and information with each call-up of the website by a data subject or automated system. This general data and information is stored in the log files of the server.
The following data can be collected
(1) the browser types and versions used,
(2) the operating system used by the accessing system,
(3) the website from which an accessing system comes to our website (so-called referrer),
(4) the sub-websites that an accessing system calls up on our website,
(5) Date and time of access,
(6) an Internet Protocol (IP) address,
(7) the Internet service provider of the accessing system and
(8) other similar data and information that serve to avert danger in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.
When using these general data, MTE does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. This information is rather required in order to
(1) to deliver the contents of our website correctly,
(2) to optimize the content of our website and the advertising for it,
(3) to ensure the permanent functionality of our information technology systems and the technology of our website, and
(4) to provide law enforcement authorities with information necessary for prosecution in the event of a cyberattack.
Therefore, MTE and the service providers evaluate anonymously collected data and information on the one hand, in order to increase the data protection and data security of our enterprise, and on the other hand, to ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from personal data.
Purpose of processing
The collection of log files serves to log averted or malicious website accesses, to ensure forensic activities and the security and stability of our website.
Legal basis
The legal basis is Art. 6 para.1 p.1 lit. f GDPR.
Legitimate interests
The aforementioned purposes also constitute the legitimate interest in data processing within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. f GDPR.
Duration of data storage
The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. This is usually the case after one month at the latest.
Possibility of objection
Insofar as data is collected to the extent described, this is absolutely necessary for securing and operating the website. There is therefore no possibility to object.
E-mail is part of the general communication between you and us. The purpose of this communication is to inform you about our offers and services or to answer your inquiries. We process your contact details and the information that you provide to us in this email or that you provide to us in connection with your account at INSPIRE.YOU.
Purpose of processing

Legal basis
The legal basis is Art. 6 para.1 p.1 lit. b GDPR.

Possibility of objection
You can contact our data protection officer (see above for contact) to object to the processing of your data.
Registration form
The personal data received during registration, including your contact details, are stored in order to grant you access to the INSPIRE.YOU offer, to protect the offer from unauthorized access and, if necessary, to track misuse. This data will not be disclosed to third parties without your consent.
Any processing of your data depends exclusively on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You can revoke this consent at any time. An informal communication by e-mail to us is sufficient for this purpose. The legality of the data processing measures carried out up to the time of the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.
The data you enter in the registration form will remain with us until you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to store it, or the purpose of storing it no longer applies. Mandatory legal provisions - in particular retention periods - remain unaffected. A request for deletion or revocation of consent to store personal data leads to exclusion from the use of the INSPIRE.YOU offer.

Cookies
The INSPIRE.YOU offer from MICRO-TECH Europe GmbH uses cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored on a computer system via an Internet browser.
Many websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a string of characters by which Internet pages and servers can be assigned to the specific Internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This enables the visited Internet pages and servers to distinguish the individual browser of the data subject from other Internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific internet browser can be recognized and identified via the unique cookie ID.
The use of cookies is necessary for the use of the INSPIRE.YOU offer in order to clearly identify the data subject who is currently logged in and to prevent misuse. These are so-called session cookies that expire after 30 minutes if the data subject does not visit INSPIRE.YOU again or log in within this time.
The data you enter in the registration form will remain with us until you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to store it, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies. Mandatory legal provisions - in particular retention periods - remain unaffected. A request for deletion or revocation of consent to store personal data leads to exclusion from the use of the INSPIRE.YOU offer.

Webinars
INSPIRE.YOU offers webinars for registered users. Webinars are interactive events on our training and education offers, which are conducted by our employees. External speakers can also be invited to the webinars. We will point this out before registration.
To conduct the webinars, we use a service provided by Zoom Video Communications, Inc. ("Zoom"), 55 Almaden Blvd. Suite 600, San Jose, CA 95113, USA, on whose platform the webinars are conducted. We have entered into an order processing agreement with Zoom and Zoom may only process personal data in accordance with our instructions and not for its own purposes. Please note that when you visit Zoom's website, Zoom is responsible for the personal data processed through your use of the website. If you have entered into a contractual relationship with Zoom, we have no control over the personal data collected and processed in this context as part of our webinars. Further information on the handling of personal data at Zoom - in particular also in connection with webinars - can be found here.
Purpose of processing
Implementation of web seminars
Legal basis
We process your data for the execution of the participation contract concluded between you and MTE against payment or free of charge on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. b) GDPR.
Data (categories)
When participating in a webinar and using Zoom, the following personal data is also processed:
User data (This is all data associated with the Zoom account and its authentication, e.g. first name, last name, display name, email address, password (unless Single Sign On (SSO) is used), profile picture, Zoom user ID);
Communication data (this is data that you enter, upload, or share yourself as part of the webinar and related Zoom usage);
Meeting Metadata and Telemetry Data (This technical data includes, but is not limited to, data related to the use of the Service, including when and how sessions were conducted (IP address, event logs, session information, etc.), as well as device and hardware information that Zoom needs to access in order for features such as camera, microphone, etc. to function in the context of participation).
Please note that participation in the webinar is also possible without a Zoom account. In this case, data collection and processing is limited to the minimum necessary to maintain the service for you.
Duration of data storage
The data required for the implementation of the webinar will be deleted after the webinar has ended. Data relevant to the contract will be stored in accordance with the statutory retention obligations.
Transfer outside the EU
We have made the possible settings in such a way that the collection and processing of communication content generally takes place on servers within the European Union. Since Zoom is based in the USA, we cannot rule out the possibility that data processing (especially of meeting metadata) may also take place in the USA when using the service. Data transfer to third countries is also possible if participants from these countries are connected.
Notice:
Please note that we may record the webinars and subsequently publish them on our website or social media channels. Before the recording, you will be given the opportunity to object to the recording. The recording and storage of the webinar is based on Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f) GDPR, as these processing operations are in our legitimate interest to present ourselves comprehensively on the internet, to inform our customers and to improve the quality of our webinars.
Use of web fonts from Monotype GmbH
INSPIRE.YOU uses fonts (web fonts) from Monotype GmbH, Horexstraße 30 61352 Bad Homburg, Germany. You can find more information about Monotype GmbH at https://www.linotype.com/2061/imprint-legal.html.
The Web Font Services of Monotype GmbH are GDPR-compliant, as no personal data is collected or processed as part of the provision of the Web Fonts. As part of the web font tracking, Monotype GmbH counts the page views, but stores the IP number from which the page was accessed in anonymized form. Legacy data that contained the IP as part of web font tracking has been deleted from Monotype GmbH's systems or anonymized.
We do not collect any personal data through the use of Monotype Web Fonts.
Data security
Your connections to our website are protected by state-of-the-art encryption technologies. The level of protection also depends on which encryption your internet browser or mobile device supports. You can tell whether an individual page of our website is transmitted in encrypted form by the closed display of the key or lock symbol in the status bar of your browser. In addition, we use appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect the data we have under our control against accidental or intentional manipulation, loss, destruction or against access by unauthorized persons. Our security measures are continuously improved in line with technological developments.
Data subject rights
Right to information
You can request information in accordance with Art. 15 GDPR about your personal data that we process.
Right to object
You have a right to object on specific grounds.
Right to rectification
If the information concerning you is not (or no longer) accurate, you can request a correction in accordance with Art. 16 GDPR. If your data is incomplete, you can request that it be completed.
Right to deletion
You may request the deletion of your personal data in accordance with Art. 17 GDPR.
Right to restriction of processing
According to Art. 18 GDPR, you have the right to request a restriction of the processing of your personal data.
Right to complain
If you believe that the processing of your personal data violates data protection law, you have the right to complain to a data protection supervisory authority of your choice pursuant to Art. 77 (1) GDPR. This includes the data protection supervisory authority responsible for the controller: State Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information of North Rhine-Westphalia, https://www.ldi.nrw.de/kontakt/ihre-beschwerde
Right to data portability
In the event that the requirements of Art. 20 (1) GDPR are met, you have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract handed over to you or to third parties. The collection of data to provide the website and the storage of log files are absolutely necessary for the operation of the website. They are therefore not based on consent under Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR or on a contract under Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR, but are justified under Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The requirements of Art. 20 (1) GDPR are therefore not met.
Right of withdrawal according to Art. 7(3) GDPR
If the processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 (1) p. 1 lit. a GDPR, you can revoke your consent at any time by contacting us, for example, using the contact details provided in our privacy policy. The revocation does not affect the lawfulness of the processing until the revocation.
Right of withdrawal according to Art. 21(1) GDPR
You have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of your personal data by us on the basis of Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR. MTE will then no longer process the personal data, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims.
MTE has defined processes within the company that enable you to exercise your rights with us. This is your right,
to revoke a consent.
to receive information about your data stored by us.
that incorrect data about you is corrected with us.
that data about you that is no longer required will be deleted from us.
that under certain conditions the processing of your data is restricted.This may be the case, for example, if deletion is not possible, but the data may not be processed further.
that your data is transferable. This right applies in particular if you have given your consent to the processing of your data or if the processing of the data is necessary to fulfill a contract. The right to data portability does not exist insofar as your data is processed within the framework of the statutory performance of tasks.
complain to a supervisory authority. If you believe that the processing of your data violates the law, you can complain to the supervisory authority.
Our contact details can be found above under controller.
MTE draws your attention to the fact that in certain cases we require further information from you in order to be able to establish your identity. For example, when exercising the right to information, we can ensure that the information is not provided to unauthorized persons.
The competent supervisory authority is

Routine deletion and blocking of personal data
The controller shall process and store the personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage or where provided for by the European Directive and Regulation or other legislator in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject.
If the purpose of storage no longer applies or if a storage period prescribed by the European legislator or another competent legislator expires, the personal data will be routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with the statutory provisions.
The legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party
Where the processing of personal data is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, our legitimate interest is to conduct our business for the benefit of the well-being of all our employees and shareholders.
Period of storage of personal data
The criterion for determining the duration of the storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After expiry of this period, the corresponding data is routinely deleted if it is no longer required for the fulfillment or initiation of the contract.
Provision of personal data as a legal or contractual requirement; requirement for the conclusion of a contract; obligation of the data subject to provide the personal data; possible consequences of not providing such data.
We would like to clarify that the provision of personal data is in part required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or may also result from contractual regulations (e.g. information on the contractual partner). Sometimes, in order to conclude a contract, it may be necessary for the data subject to provide us with personal data that must subsequently be processed by us. For example, the data subject is obliged to provide us with personal data if our company concludes a contract with him or her. Failure to provide the personal data would mean that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded. Before providing personal data by the data subject, the data subject must contact an employee. The employee shall inform the data subject whether the provision of the personal data is required by law or by contract or is necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data and what the consequences of not providing the personal data would be.
Existence of automated decision making/profiling
As a responsible company, we do not use automatic decision-making or profiling.
Changes to the privacy policy
We reserve the right to change this privacy policy at any time in compliance with the applicable data protection regulations. The current status is September 2023.
