Personal data is any data with which you can be personally identified. We only collect, process and use personal data if you have consented to the collection, processing and use or if there is a corresponding legal basis. We reserve the right to change the privacy policy at any time with effect for the future. The current version of the privacy policy can be accessed, saved and printed at any time on our website.

Who Is The Responsible Party For The Recording Of Data On This Website (I.E., The “Controller”)?

The responsible party for data processing on this website is:

5, rue de l'industrie,
L-1811, LUXEMBOURG
LUXEMBOURG

Managing directors: Gregory Nain, Assaad Moawad, Thomas Hartmann and François Fouquet
Phone: (+352) 20 60 03 15
E-mail: contact@datathings.com

The controller is the natural person or legal entity that single-handedly or jointly with others makes decisions as to the purposes of and resources for the processing of personal data (e.g., names, e-mail addresses, etc.).

We have also appointed a data protection officer for our company:
Data Protection Officer Anne-Laure MAZZA 5, rue de l'industrie,
L-1811, LUXEMBOURG
LUXEMBOURG
E-mail: dpo@datathings.com

How Do We Record Your Data?

We collect your data as a result of you sharing your data with us. This may, for instance be information you enter into our contact form. Other data shall be recorded by our IT systems automatically or after you consent to its recording during your website visit. This data comprises primarily technical information (e.g., web browser, operating system, or time the site was accessed). This information is recorded automatically when you access this website.

Storage Period

Unless a more specific storage period has been specified within this data protection declaration, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for data processing no longer applies. If you assert a legitimate request for deletion or revoke your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g. retention periods under tax or commercial law); in the latter case, the data will be deleted once these reasons no longer apply.

What Purposes Do We Use Your Data For?

Some data may be used to analyze your user patterns.

What Rights Do You Have As Far As Your Information Is Concerned?

You have the right to receive information about the source, recipients, and purposes of your archived personal data at any time without having to pay a fee for such disclosures. You also have the right to demand for your data to be rectified or deleted. If you have consented to data processing, you have the option to revoke this consent at any time, which shall affect all future data processing. Moreover, you have the right to demand that the processing of your data be restricted under certain circumstances. Furthermore, you have the right to log a complaint with the responsible supervising agency. Please do not hesitate to contact us at any time if you have questions about this or any other data protection-related issues. You can find out more about your rights in chapter 2 “Data subject rights"

Analysis Tools And Tools Provided By Third Parties

We work with third-party tools to which personal data is transferred. This forwarding only takes place with your declaration of consent.
Through some of our tools, the so-called analysis tools, your user behavior on the website and our social media channels can be statistically evaluated. This is mainly done with so-called analysis programs. Detailed information on these analysis programs can be found further down in this privacy policy.

Information On Data Transfer To The USA Or Other Non-EU Countries

Among other things, we use tools of companies domiciled in the United States or other non-EU countries, which may be considered non-secure from a data protection perspective. If these tools are active, your personal data may potentially be transferred to these non-EU countries and may be processed there. We must point out that in these countries, a data protection level that is comparable to that in the EU cannot be guaranteed. For instance, U.S. enterprises are under a mandate to release personal data to the security agencies and you, as the data subject, do not have any litigation options to defend yourself in court. Hence, it cannot be ruled out that U.S. governmental agencies may process, analyze, and permanently archive your personal data for surveillance purposes. We have no control over these processing activities.

SSL Or TLS Encryption

You can recognize an encrypted connection by checking whether the address line of the browser switches from “http://” to “https://” and also by the appearance of the lock icon in the browser line. If the SSL or TLS encryption is activated, data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Data Subject Rights

Revocation Of Your Consent To The Processing Of Data

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke consent you have already given at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

Right To Object To Data Collection In Special Cases And To Direct Marketing (Art. 21 DSGVO)

In the event that data are processed on the basis of art. 6(1)(e) or (f) gdpr, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data at any time based on grounds arising from your unique situation. This also applies to any profiling based on these provisions. To determine the legal basis, on which any processing of data is based, please consult this data protection declaration. If you log an objection, we will no longer process your affected personal data, unless we are in a position to present compelling protection worthy grounds for the processing of your data,that outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms or if the purpose of the processing is the claiming, exercising or defense of legal entitlements (objection pursuant to art. 21(1) gdpr). If your personal data is being processed in order to engage in direct advertising,you have the right to object to the processing of your affected personal data forthe purposes of such advertising at any time.

Right To Report A Complaint With The Responsible Supervisory Agency

In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects are entitled to log a complaint with a supervisory agency, in particular in the member state where they usually maintain their domicile, place of work or at the place where the alleged violation occurred. The right to log a complaint is in effect regardless of any other administrative or court proceedings available as legal recourses.

Right To Data Portability

You have the right to demand that we hand over any data we automatically process on the basis of your consent, be handed over to you or a third party in a commonly used, machine-readable format. If you should demand the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will be done only if it is technically feasible.

Information About The Rectification And Deletion Of Data

Within the scope of the applicable statutory provisions, you have the right to at any time demand information about your archived personal data, their source and recipients as well as the purpose of the processing of your data. You may also have a right to have your data rectified or eradicated. If you have questions about this subject matter or any other questions about personal data, please do not hesitate to contact us at any time at dpo@datathings.com

Right To Demand Processing Restrictions

You have the right to demand the imposition of restrictions as far as the processing of your personal data is concerned. To do so, you may contact us (dpo@datathings.com ) at any time. The right to demand restriction of processing applies in the following cases:

• In the event that you should dispute the correctness of your data archived by us, we will usually need some time to verify this claim. During the time that this investigation is ongoing, you have the right to demand that we restrict the processing of your personal data.
• If the processing of your personal data was/is conducted unlawfully, you have the option to demand the restriction of the processing of your data in lieu of demanding the deletion of this data. If we no longer require your personal data, and you need it to exercise, defend or claim legal entitlements; you are entitled to demand the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of its deletion.
• If you have raised an objection pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, your rights and our rights will have to be weighed against each other. As long as it has not been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to demand a restriction of the processing of your personal data.
• If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data, with the exception of their archiving, may be processed only subject to your consent or to claim, exercise or defend legal entitlements or to protect the rights of other natural persons or legal entities or for important public interest reasons cited by the European Union or a member state of the EU.

For instance, regardless of whether you are watching a video, YouTube will always establish a connection with the Google DoubleClick network.
As soon as you start to play a YouTube video on this website, a connection to YouTube’s servers will be established.

We assure you that the collection, processing and use of your data will occur in compliance with the applicable data privacy rights and all other statutory provisions and that your data will always be treated as strictly confidential.

If it is evident that the data will be required after the expiration of the 24 months period (e.g., due to an impending or pending legal dispute), deletion will only take place when the purpose for further storage no longer applies.

Longer storage may also take place if you have given your agreement (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR) or if statutory data retention requirements preclude the deletion.
