Data Protection

Privacy Policy of xSuite Group GmbH

We are pleased to see your interest in our company as well as our products or services. We would like you to feel safe when you visit our websites, also in view of the protection of your personal data, as we take the protection of your personal data very seriously. Compliance with the provisions of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a matter of course for us. We want you to know when we collect what data and how we use them. We have taken technical and organisational measures that ensure that the rules for data protection will be observed both by us and by any external service providers that we may use.
 
In accordance with the requirements of data protection law, we will collect, process and use the personal data provided by you only for specified purposes. Your data will as a matter of principle not be sold or rented by us to any third parties. We will transmit your personal data to third parties exclusively only if required to do so by administrative or court order, if it is necessary for the performance of a contract or for credit protection, if there is a legal basis for the disclosure, or if you give your express consent.

We have imposed upon our employees and any service providers that may be instructed by us a duty of confidentiality and the duty to observe the requirements of data protection law in accordance with the provisions of the law.

What is personal data?
Personal data is any information relating to your identity. This includes, for example, data such as your name, address, telephone number and the email address. To use our websites, it is not necessary for you to disclose any personal data. However, in certain cases, we need your name and your address as well as further information to enable us to provide the desired services. The same applies, for example, to the mailing of information material or the shipment of goods ordered and when we answer individual questions. We will draw your attention to this when that becomes necessary. In addition, we store and process only data that you voluntarily or automatically make available to us.

If you wish to use our services, we generally collect only such data as we need to provide the services. Should we ask for any further data, this would be information provided voluntarily by you. The processing of personal data takes place exclusively to perform the desired service and to safeguard our own legitimate business interests.

Name and contact data of the data controller
The data controller for the website www.xsuite.com and the subsequently described processing activities is xSuite Group GmbH, Hamburger Str. 12, 22926 Ahrensburg („xSuite“). For any questions regarding our Privacy Policy or the processing of personal data please contact dataprotection@xsuite.com.

Purposes and legal bases for the processing of personal data

a) Cases allowed by law
In cases where hardware or software, any service or other work desired is provided by xSuite Group GmbH, xSuite uses the data made available in the contract, the order or acceptance form or, for example, by email (e.g. name, email address, telephone number, name and address of your business, bank details, etc.). These data are used exclusively to perform and/or make available the service desired in each case. This also comprises the necessary steps prior to the conclusion of the contract, the answering of questions in that connection, for example also processing or provision of customer feedback, support inquiries, other contents, learning programs, training and events by xSuite as well as access thereto.

Any marketing communication (such as emails and telephone calls with advertising contents) is effected by xSuite – insofar as that is required by law – on the basis of your consent, combined with the possibility for you to object here at any time to this kind of communication with us.

xSuite can within the framework of an existing business relationship between you and xSuite inform you - to the extent allowed by local law - about xSuite products or services (such as, for example, events, seminars or webinars) similar to the products and/or services which you have already acquired from xSuite and/or are using or which are connected with them. If you have participated in an event, a seminar or webinar of xSuite or have acquired products or services from xSuite, xSuite can also contact you to obtain feedback from you in view of improving these products or services.

You can object at any time here to the use of your personal data for the purposes described above. In this case, xSuite will discontinue the use of your personal data for the purposes pursued on the basis of a legitimate interest of xSuite and will remove these data from its systems, unless xSuite is allowed to use these personal data for another purpose set out in this Privacy Policy or xSuite provably has a compelling legitimate interest in the further processing of your personal data.

b) Consent
xSuite will use your personal data in cases other than those allowed by law only if you first give your prior consent to processing in each case, for example by stating your name, your email address and postal address, your telephone number, your job title and basic information about your company to keep you informed about current product announcements and other information regarding software and services of xSuite (including by means of marketing-related newsletters) and about events of xSuite, and to display relevant contents on the websites of xSuite.
 
You can at any time revoke your consent given within the framework of this Privacy Policy here. In case of revocation, there will be no further processing of your personal data which your consent applied to, unless xSuite is obliged by law to continue processing. Should xSuite be required by law to keep your personal data, the further processing of your personal data will be limited accordingly and the data will be stored only for the data retention period stipulated by law. The revocation has no effect on any processing of your personal data by xSuite in the past up to the time of revocation.
