BRASIL – LGDP : The General Personal Data Protection Law (Brazil) 13709/2018 (Portuguese: Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados Pessoais, or LGPD), is a statutory law on data protection and privacy in the Federative Republic of Brazil.

Identifiable is someone who can be identified directly or indirectly, in particular by assignment to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or other special characteristics.

WHAT DATA IS PROCESSED FOR WHAT PURPOSE?

GENERAL PURPOSE OF PROCESSING PERSONAL DATA

Our website is hosted by ovh.com. The purpose of the processing is the operation of a website with information about our company, a marketing/innovation research and consulting agency, as well as the presentation and offer of services in this area. We process personal data to fulfil contractual obligations towards our customers and interested parties.

Personal data is collected, processed and used exclusively for the stated purpose.

With regard to the visit of websites, we assume that a personal reference can always exist by means of IP addresses. As a result, we must inform you accordingly about the data processing of the web server and the applications on the web server hosted by ovh.com. In order for the pages to be displayed in your browser, the IP address of the device you are using must be processed. In addition, there is further information about the browser of your terminal device.

In accordance with the current data protection law test, we are obliged to protect our IT system, which processes personal data. For this purpose, ovh.com record:

  • IP address of the calling computer
  • Operating system of the calling computer
  • Browser version of the calling computer
  • URL of the call
  • Date and time of retrieval

IP address and log files are deleted as soon as they are no longer required to guarantee the security of our systems. We will then no longer be able to establish a personal reference from the remaining data. The data is used to correct errors on the website.

The legal basis for this data processing is Art. 6, 1f, GDPR. Our “interest” in the sense of Art. 6, 1 lit. f) is the operation of this website, the implementation of the protection goals of confidentiality and the integrity and availability of data.

COOKIES

We may use cookies on our websites via ovh.com. Cookies are small text information that are stored in your terminal via your browser. Cookies are required to enable certain functions of our websites. We use session cookies that are automatically deleted from your browser immediately after your visit to the websites has ended. In the area of web analysis, however, we also use persistent cookies.

You have the option of preventing the setting of cookies by making the appropriate settings in your browser. However, we would like to point out that the use of our websites may then be limited. Cookies do not install or launch any programs or other applications on your computer.

The legal basis for this data processing is Art. 6, 1f, GDPR in conjunction with § 15 TMG. Our “interest” within the meaning of Art. 6, 1f is the operation of these websites.

EMAIL INQUIRIES

You are free to contact us by  e-mail or telephone, the user’s personal data transmitted by e-mail will be stored.

In this context, the data will not be passed on to third parties. The data is used exclusively for processing the communication/order request.

These e-mails are stored like commercial letters and in accordance with the legal retention periods. This information is protected against unauthorized access by third parties, but please note that unencrypted e-mails sent via the internet are not sufficiently protected against unauthorized access by third parties.

The legal basis for the processing of data transmitted in the course of sending an e-mail is Art. 6, 1f GDPR – the legitimate interest is communication with customers and interested parties. If the e-mail contact is aimed at the conclusion of a contract, the legal basis is Art. 6, 1b GDPR (contract/pre-contractual measure).

DURATION OF DATA STORAGE

Requests received via the form on our website or by e-mail are usually stored in our system. The system is regularly checked to see whether data can be deleted. Should data no longer be necessary in the context of a customer or prospective customer relationship or should a conflicting interest of the customer prevail, we will delete the concerned personal data, provided that this does not conflict with statutory retention obligations.

Irrespective of this, we always ask you for permission to use your e-mail address for general notifications such as a newsletter sent by e-mail. This consent is voluntary and completely independent of your request.

NEWSLETTER

Our newsletter serves the purpose of informing you about interesting marketing topics as well as news from us.

You will only receive the newsletter if we have your consent as recipient and refer to the legal basis according to Art. 6, 1a GDPR.

You have the right to revoke your consent at any time without affecting the legality of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until revocation. Your revocation will be documented with date. Your data will then be immediately blocked for further processing by us.

DOUBLE-OPT-IN AND LOGGING

For registration and handling of the newsletter we use a WordPress plug in stored by our own server. No data is transferred to WordPress.

The registration for our free newsletter happens via a so-called double opt-in procedure. This means that after registration you will receive an e-mail asking you to confirm your registration. This confirmation is necessary so that no one can log in with another person’s e-mail address.

These registrations for the newsletter are logged in order to be able to prove the registration process according to the legal requirements. This includes the storage of the login and confirmation time, as well as the IP address.

The legal basis for this data processing is Art. 6, 1f GDPR in conjunction with § 7 UWG. Our “interest” in the sense of Art. 6, 1f GDPR is the administration and dispatch of our news and release notes.

SUBSCRIPTION DATA NEWSLETTER

We only use this information to address you correctly and to adapt the contents of the newsletter to the interests of our readers.

You will find a link to cancel the newsletter at the end of each newsletter or you can contact us at the contact details given in the imprint and send us an e-mail with your cancellation.
