4. Cookies
The Excelloit Consultancy Services website uses cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored and stored on a computer system via an Internet browser.
Numerous 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 character string through which Internet pages and servers can be assigned to the specific Internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This enables the visited websites 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.
By using cookies, Excelloit Consultancy Services can provide the users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the cookie setting.
Using a cookie, the information and offers on our website can be optimized for the user. As already mentioned, cookies enable us to recognize the users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to use our website. For example, the user of a website that uses cookies does not have to re-enter their access data each time they visit the website because this is done by the website and the cookie stored on the user’s computer system. Another example is the cookie of a shopping cart in the online shop. The online shop remembers the items that a customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart via a cookie.
We also use cookies on our website that enable analysis of users’ surfing behavior.
The following data can be transmitted in this way:
________
The user data collected in this way is pseudonymized using technical precautions. It is therefore no longer possible to assign the data to the accessing user. The data is not stored together with other personal data of the users.
When accessing our website, the user is informed about the use of cookies for analysis purposes and his consent to the processing of the personal data used in this context is obtained. In this context, a reference is also made to this data protection declaration.
The legal basis for the processing of personal data using cookies for analysis purposes, if the user has given his consent, is Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR.
The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies through our website at any time by means of an appropriate setting in the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Furthermore, cookies that have already been set can be deleted at any time via an internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all common internet browsers. If the data subject deactivates the setting of cookies in the Internet browser used, not all functions of our website may be fully usable.
5. Collection of general data and information
The Excelloit Consultancy Services website collects a series of general data and information each time the website is accessed by a data subject or an automated system. This general data and information is stored in the server’s log files. What can be recorded are the (1) browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system accesses our website (so-called referrers), (4) the sub-websites which are accessible via an accessing system on our website is controlled, (5) the date and time of access to the website, (6) an Internet protocol address (IP address), (7) the Internet service provider of the accessing system and (8) other similar data and information that serves to protect against threats in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.
When using these general data and information, Excelloit Consultancy Services does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is needed to (1) deliver the content of our website correctly, (2) optimize the content of our website and the advertising for it, (3) ensure the long-term functionality of our information technology systems and the technology of our website and ( 4) to provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for criminal prosecution in the event of a cyber attack. These anonymously collected data and information are evaluated by Excelloit Consultancy Services both statistically and with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in our company in order to ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data in the server log files is stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.
In addition, the following personal data is also collected, provided the express permission of the relevant user is given and in compliance with the applicable data protection regulations:
________
The processing of personal data is based on our legitimate interest in fulfilling our contractually agreed services and optimizing our online offering.
You can also visit this website without providing any personal information. However, in order to improve our online offering, we store your access data to this website (without personal reference). These access data include, for example: B. the file you requested or the name of your internet provider. By anonymizing the data, it is not possible to draw conclusions about you personally.
6. SSL encryption
To protect the security of your data during transmission, we use state-of-the-art encryption methods (e.g. SSL) via HTTPS.
7. Subscription to our newsletter
On the Excelloit Consultancy Services website, users are given the opportunity to subscribe to our company’s newsletter. Which personal data is transmitted to the person responsible for processing when ordering the newsletter is determined by the input mask used for this purpose.
Excelloit Consultancy Services regularly informs its customers and business partners about the company’s offers by means of a newsletter. In principle, our company’s newsletter can only be received by the data subject if (1) the data subject has a valid email address and (2) the data subject registers to receive the newsletter. For legal reasons, a confirmation email will be sent using the double opt-in procedure to the email address entered by a data subject for the first time to receive the newsletter. This confirmation email is used to check whether the owner of the email address as the data subject has authorized receipt of the newsletter.
When registering for the newsletter, we also store the IP address assigned by the Internet service provider (ISP) of the computer system used by the data subject at the time of registration as well as the date and time of registration. The collection of this data is necessary in order to be able to understand the (possible) misuse of the email address of a data subject at a later point in time and therefore serves to provide legal protection for the person responsible for processing.
The personal data collected when registering for the newsletter is used exclusively to send our newsletter. Furthermore, subscribers to the newsletter could be informed by email if this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or a related registration, as could be the case in the event of changes to the newsletter offer or a change in technical circumstances. The personal data collected as part of the newsletter service will not be passed on to third parties. The data subject can cancel the subscription to our newsletter at any time. The consent to the storage of personal data that the data subject has given us for sending the newsletter can be revoked at any time. For the purpose of revoking your consent, there is a corresponding link in every newsletter. It is also possible to unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time directly on the website of the controller or to communicate this to the controller in another way.
Parts of our newsletter may contain advertising material.
8. Newsletter tracking
The Excelloit Consultancy Services newsletters contain so-called tracking pixels. A web beacon is a miniature graphic that is embedded in emails sent in HTML format to enable log file recording and log file analysis. This allows a statistical analysis of the success or failure of online marketing campaigns to be carried out. Using the embedded tracking pixel, Excelloit Consultancy Services can determine whether and when an email was opened by a data subject and which links in the email were accessed by the data subject.
Such personal data collected via the tracking pixels contained in the newsletters are stored and evaluated by the controller in order to optimize the newsletter delivery and to better adapt the content of future newsletters to the interests of the data subject. This personal data will not be passed on to third parties. Affected persons are entitled at any time to revoke the relevant separate declaration of consent issued via the double opt-in procedure. After revocation, these personal data will be deleted by the person responsible for processing. Excelloit Consultancy Services automatically interprets unsubscribing from receiving the newsletter as a revocation.
9. Registration on our website
The data subject has the opportunity to register on the website of the controller by providing personal data. Which personal data is transmitted to the person responsible for processing is determined by the respective input mask used for registration. The personal data entered by the data subject will be collected and stored exclusively for internal use by the data controller and for its own purposes. The data controller may arrange for the data to be passed on to one or more processors, for example a parcel service provider, who also uses the personal data exclusively for internal use that is attributable to the data controller.
By registering on the website of the controller, the IP address assigned by the data subject’s Internet service provider (ISP) and the date and time of registration are also stored. This data is stored against the background that this is the only way to prevent misuse of our services and, if necessary, this data makes it possible to investigate crimes that have been committed. In this respect, the storage of this data is necessary to protect the data controller. In principle, this data will not be passed on to third parties unless there is a legal obligation to pass it on or the transfer serves the purpose of criminal prosecution.
The registration of the data subject by voluntarily providing personal data enables the data controller to offer the data subject content or services that, due to the nature of the matter, can only be offered to registered users. Registered persons are free to change the personal data provided during registration at any time or to have it completely deleted from the data base of the person responsible for processing.
The person responsible for processing will provide each data subject with information at any time upon request as to what personal data is stored about the data subject. Furthermore, the person responsible for processing corrects or deletes personal data at the request or notification of the data subject, provided that there are no legal retention obligations to the contrary. All of the controller’s employees are available to the data subject as contact persons in this context.
10. Contact option via the website
Due to legal regulations, the Excelloit Consultancy Services website contains information that enables quick electronic contact with our company and direct communication with us, which also includes a general address for so-called electronic mail (e-mail address). If a data subject contacts the person responsible for processing by email or via a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject will be automatically stored. Such personal data transmitted on a voluntary basis by a data subject to the data controller will be stored for the purposes of processing or contacting the data subject. This personal data will not be passed on to third parties.
11. Comment function in the blog on the website
Excelloit Consultancy Services offers users the opportunity to leave individual comments on individual blog posts on a blog, which is on the website of the controller. A blog is a portal maintained on a website, usually publicly accessible, in which one or more people, called bloggers or web bloggers, can post articles or write down thoughts in so-called blog posts. The blog posts can usually be commented on by third parties.
If a data subject leaves a comment on the blog published on this website, in addition to the comments left by the data subject, information on the time the comment was entered and on the user name (pseudonym) chosen by the data subject will be stored and published. Furthermore, the IP address assigned to the data subject by the Internet service provider (ISP) is also logged. The IP address is stored for security reasons and in the event that the person concerned violates the rights of third parties or posts illegal content through a comment made. The storage of this personal data is therefore in the own interest of the person responsible for processing, so that he could be exculpated in the event of a legal violation. This collected personal data will not be passed on to third parties unless such transfer is required by law or serves the legal defense of the person responsible for processing.
12. Subscription to comments in the blog on the website
Comments made on the Excelloit Consultancy Services blog can generally be subscribed to by third parties. In particular, it is possible for a commenter to subscribe to the comments following their comment on a specific blog post.
If a data subject chooses the option to subscribe to comments, the data controller will send an automatic confirmation email to use the double opt-in procedure to check whether the owner of the specified email address is actually the owner of the email address option has chosen. The option to subscribe to comments can be canceled at any time.

23. Google Ads
This website uses Google Ads. Google Ads is an online advertising program from Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
As part of Google Ads, we use so-called conversion tracking. If you click on an ad placed by Google, a cookie is set for conversion tracking. Cookies are small text files that the Internet browser stores on the user’s computer. These cookies expire after 30 days and are not used to personally identify users. If the user visits certain pages on this website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page.
Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. The cookies cannot be tracked across Google Ads customers’ websites. The information collected using the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for Google Ads customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers learn the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, you will not receive any information that can be used to personally identify users. If you do not want to participate in tracking, you can object to this use by easily deactivating the Google Conversion Tracking cookie via your Internet browser under user settings. You will then not be included in the conversion tracking statistics.
The storage of “conversion cookies” and the use of this tracking tool are based on Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior in order to improve both its website and its advertising If appropriate consent has been requested (e.g. consent to the storage of cookies), the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR; the consent can be revoked at any time.

A so-called “cookie” is stored in the website visitor’s browser, which makes it possible to recognize the visitor when he or she accesses websites that are part of the Google advertising network.

25. Legal basis for processing
Art. 6 I lit. a GDPR serves our company as the legal basis for processing operations in which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, as is the case, for example, with processing operations that are necessary for the delivery of goods or the provision of any other service or consideration, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. b GDPR. The same applies to processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of inquiries about our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation that requires the processing of personal data, such as to fulfill tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. c GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were injured in our company and his name, age, health insurance details or other vital information would then have to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. Then the processing would be based on Art. 6 I lit. d GDPR. Ultimately, processing operations could be based on Art. 6 I lit. f GDPR. Processing operations that are not covered by any of the above-mentioned legal bases are based on this legal basis if the processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not prevail. We are permitted to carry out such processing operations in particular because they have been specifically mentioned by European legislators. In this respect, he was of the opinion that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the controller (Recital 47 Sentence 2 GDPR).
26. Legitimate interests in processing pursued by the controller or a third party
If the processing of personal data is based on Article 6 I lit. f GDPR, our legitimate interest is to carry out our business activities for the benefit of the well-being of all our employees and our shareholders.
27. Duration for which the personal data will be stored
The criterion for the duration of storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After the deadline has expired, the relevant data will be routinely deleted unless it is no longer required to fulfill the contract or initiate a contract.
28. Legal or contractual requirements for the provision of personal data; Necessity for the conclusion of the contract; Obligation of the data subject to provide the personal data; possible consequences of non-provision
We would like to clarify that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or can also result from contractual provisions (e.g. information on the contractual partner). In order to conclude a contract, it may sometimes be necessary for a data subject to provide us with personal data, which must subsequently be processed by us. For example, the data subject is obliged to provide us with personal data if our company enters into a contract with them. Failure to provide the personal data would mean that the contract with the person concerned could not be concluded. Before the data subject provides personal data, the data subject must contact one of our employees. Our employee will inform the data subject on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of the personal data is required by law or contract or is necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data and what consequences the non-provision of the personal data would have.
29. Changes to the privacy policy
We reserve the right to adapt this data protection declaration so that it always complies with current legal requirements or to implement changes to our services in the data protection declaration, for example when introducing new services. The new data protection declaration will then apply to your next visit.
30. Existence of automated decision making
As a responsible company, we do not use automatic decision-making or profiling.
