Introduction

Data protection has a particularly high priority for ilert GmbH (hereinafter: "We", "Us"). We consider it our primary responsibility to maintain the confidentiality of the personal data you provide to us and to protect it from unauthorised access. Therefore, we apply the utmost care and state-of-the-art security standards to ensure maximum protection of your personal data.

The following information provides you with an overview of the processing of your personal data in the course of using our ilert software after downloading via an app store or as a web app accessible via https://app.ilert.com or https://<your-customer-id>.ilert.com (hereinafter "App").

3 Definition

This data protection policy is based on the terminology of the GDPR. For your convenience, we would like to explain some important terms in this context in more detail:

  • Personal data: Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.
  • Data subject: The data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data are processed by the controller.
  • Processing: Processing means any operation or set of operations which is performed upon personal data, whether by automatic means, such as collection, recording, organisation, filing, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.
  • Recipient: a recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body to whom personal data are disclosed, whether or not a third party. However, public authorities that may receive personal data in the context of a specific investigative task under Union or Member State law shall not be considered as recipients.
  • Third party: a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body other than the data subject, the controller, the processor and the persons authorised to process the personal data under the direct responsibility of the controller or the processor.
  • Consent: Consent means any freely given and informed indication of the data subject's wishes in the form of a statement or other unambiguous affirmative act by which the data subject signifies his or her agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her.

4 Origin of the personal data

We may obtain personal data in the following ways:

4.1 Information provided by you

You have the option of entering information (e.g. contact details) about yourself in the app.

4.2 Automatically collected and generated data

Data is automatically collected and generated by using our app.

4.3 Data collected by third parties

Furthermore, data may be collected by third parties, for example when the app is downloaded by the app store operator.

5 Scope, purpose, legal basis, storage period and, if applicable, recipients and third country transfer of the respective processing of personal data

5.1 General information

In the following, we provide you with an overview of the personal data we process. We will explain to what extent, for what purposes and on what legal basis we process personal data.

We will not disclose your personal data to third parties without your consent, unless this is permitted by law (e.g. because it is necessary for the performance of the contract).

The processing of your personal data may be based on the following legal bases:

  • Art. 6 (1), lit. a) GDPR serves as our legal basis for processing operations in which we obtain consent for a specific processing.
  • If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party, the processing is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. b) GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations that are necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures.
  • If we are subject to a legal obligation by which the processing of personal data becomes necessary, the processing is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. c) GDPR.
  • Furthermore, processing operations may be based on Article 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR. Processing operations are based on this legal basis if the processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of ours, provided that the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject are not overridden.

5.2 Data transfers to third countries

Among other things, we use the services of companies based in third countries (e.g. in the USA). If these services are active, it is possible that data will be transferred to a third country and processed there. We would like to point out that no level of data protection comparable to that in the EU can be guaranteed in these countries.

US companies, for example, are obliged to hand over data to authorities or similar institutions, without you as a data subject being able to take effective legal action against this according to our legal understanding. We have no influence on such data disclosure.

5.3 Data deletion

Insofar as no specific storage period is specified within this data protection notice, the data processed by us will be deleted in accordance with the legal requirements as soon as their consents permitted for processing are revoked or other permissions cease to apply (e.g. if the purpose of processing this data has ceased to apply or it is not required for the purpose). If the data are not deleted because they are required for other and legally permissible purposes, their processing is limited to these purposes, i.e. the data is blocked and not processed for other purposes. This applies, for example, to data that must be retained for reasons of commercial or tax law or whose storage is necessary for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person. Our data protection notices may also contain further information on the retention and deletion of data, which shall apply with priority to the respective processing operations.

5.4 Security measures

We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure a level of protection appropriate to the risk in accordance with the legal requirements, taking into account the state of the art, the implementation costs and the nature, scope, circumstances and purposes of the processing as well as the different probabilities of occurrence and the extent of the threat to the rights and freedoms of natural persons.

The measures include, in particular, ensuring the confidentiality, integrity and availability of data by controlling physical and electronic access to the data, as well as access to, entry into, disclosure of, assurance of availability of and segregation of the data. We also have procedures in place to ensure the exercise of data subjects' rights, the deletion of data and responses to data compromise. Furthermore, we already take the protection of personal data into account in the development or selection of hardware, software and procedures in accordance with the principle of data protection, through technology design and through data protection-friendly default settings.

5.5 Transmission of personal data

In the course of our processing of personal data, the data may be transferred to or disclosed to other bodies, companies, legally independent organisational units or persons. The recipients of this data may include, for example, service providers commissioned with IT tasks or providers of services and content that are integrated into a website. In such cases, we comply with the legal requirements and, in particular, conclude corresponding contracts or agreements that serve to protect your data with the recipients of your data.

5.6 The processing of personal data concerning you in the App
