This data will not be passed on to third parties without your express consent.

The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 Par. 1 f) GDPR. The legitimate interest on the part of WERK II results from the interest in carrying out or initiating a business relationship with customers, interested parties, business partners and suppliers and in maintaining personal contact with the contact person.

4. Newsletter

Purpose of data processing / legal basis:

You can subscribe to our newsletter via various channels (website, trade fairs). The legal basis for data processing in the context of sending newsletters is your consent according to Art. 6 para. 1 a) GDPR and § 7 Par. 2 UWG (federal law against unfair competition). The purpose of data processing within the scope of ordering the priint newsletter is to inform newsletter subscribers about offers, promotions, products, events and services of the companies of the priint Group. To register for the free priint newsletter, we require the information marked as mandatory in the registration form. You can optionally fill in the input fields that are not marked. We only use this data for internal evaluations and target group analyses. After submitting the registration form you will receive confirmation of your registration and a welcome mailing from us. By confirming your registration, you confirm your consent to the processing of your e-mail address and your optional details for the purposes stated here (double opt-in procedure). We store the time and the IP address used when ordering the newsletter for evidence purposes. The newsletters contain a so-called "web beacon", i.e. a pixel-sized file that is retrieved from our server when the newsletter is opened, or from the server of a mailing service provider if we use one. Within the scope of this retrieval, technical information such as information on the browser and your system, as well as your IP address and time of retrieval are initially collected. This information is used for the technical improvement of the services based on the technical data or the target groups and their reading behavior based on their retrieval locations (which can be determined by means of the IP address) or the access times. Statistical surveys also include determining whether newsletters are opened, when they are opened and which links are clicked. For technical reasons, this information can be assigned to individual newsletter recipients. However, it is neither our intention nor, if used, that of the dispatch service provider to observe individual users. The evaluations serve us much more to recognize the reading habits of our users and to adapt our content to them or to send different content according to the interests of our users. You can revoke your consent to receive the priint newsletter at any time with future effect by clicking on the corresponding unsubscribe link in one of the newsletters or by sending an e-mail to info@priint.com.

Recipients / categories of recipients:

We forbid the possibility of passing on the data to third parties outside the priint Group. We have commissioned the mailing service provider HubSpot Inc, 25 First Street, 2nd Floor, Cambridge, MA 0214, USA, represented in the DACH market by HubSpot Germany GmbH, Am Postbahnhof 17, 0243 Berlin, to carry out the newsletter mailing. We have carefully selected this provider and contractually obligated it in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR. In this context, please also note the data protection regulations of HubSpot Inc: https://legal.hubspot.com/fr/dpa. Within the priint Group, WERK II will pass on your data to other related or controlled companies so that they too can send you information. The dispatch service provider may use the recipient's data in pseudonymous form, i.e. without allocation to a user, to optimize or improve its own services, e.g. for technical optimization of dispatch and presentation of the newsletter or for statistical purposes. However, the dispatch service provider does not use the data of our newsletter recipients to write to them itself or to pass the data on to third parties.

The legal basis for the dispatch of advertising by post is Art. 6 Par. 1 f) GDPR. The justified interest on the part of the priint Group results from the interest to send customers and interested parties information about products and services. The legal basis for marketing measures by e-mail or telephone is usually a declaration of consent given by you. For marketing measures towards existing customers, § 7 UWG (federal law against unfair competition) may also apply. You can object to receiving advertising at any time with effect for the future by sending a message to info@priint.com. If you declare an objection to advertising, we will store your data in a block file based on Art. 6 Par. 1 f) GDPR.

6. Remote maintenance

Purpose of data processing / legal basis:

Remote maintenance is carried out by the service provider TeamViewer GmbH, Jahnstr. 30, 73037 Göppingen, Germany. After downloading and starting TeamViewer, you have the possibility that an employee of the priint Group connects to your computer and gets access to your system. This is only possible if you give the employee your ID and password or another valid account. Only then you allow the remote maintenance. The employees of the priint Group entrusted with the remote maintenance are explicitly obliged to observe data protection and secrecy. During remote maintenance, the priint Group employees see your screen, including all information available on it. In your interest, we therefore ask you to close all programs in advance which are not related to the support case. By allowing remote maintenance (by stating your ID and password), you ensure that we do not allow the employees to get in contact with personal data from your environment during remote maintenance. Furthermore, we will not pass on the data to third parties without your express consent. Your personal data will only be passed on if you yourself have consented to the data transfer. The transmission of the data by means of TeamViewer takes place via the Internet. TeamViewer uses an encrypted connection for transmission. However, it can never be excluded with absolute certainty that third parties will be able to view and/or access the transmitted data without authorization. We recommend that you take this aspect into consideration when deciding whether remote maintenance should be used. The use of remote maintenance is recorded at company level. It is only recorded for documentation and billing purposes. This data is collected, stored and processed exclusively for the purpose of remote maintenance. Your data will not be linked with other data, will not be used for other purposes and will not be passed on to third parties under any circumstances. The legal basis for the use of TeamViewer in case of a contractual agreement is Art. 6 Par. 1 b) GDPR. Without a contractual agreement Art. 6 Par. 1 a) GDPR applies.

Recipients / categories of recipients:

We forbid the possibility of passing on the data to third parties outside the priint Group. Within the priint Group your data may be passed on for further support.

The logging of the support case is expressly excluded from this. The personal data will be deleted as soon as the purpose of the storage no longer applies. The data will be deleted when a prescribed storage period expires unless it is necessary to continue storing the data for the conclusion or fulfilment of a contract.

18. Helpdesk-System

Purpose of data processing / legal basis:

To expedite helpdesk resolution to customer tickets, we use a helpdesk system (ticket system) and thus may process personal data about you. For this purpose, we use the helpdesk ticket system Teamwork DESK. Support requests can enter the helpdesk system in different ways and different data is recorded depending on the way the ticket may have been entered. If you send us a message to the support e-mail address, we will receive the content of your message, which you have written, as well as all information that your e-mail program sends to us (e.g. information in the header such as your e-mail address, time of sending). If you contact us by phone, the support employee may record the information from this call in a ticket in the system. First name, last name, telephone number, company and e-mail address are stored in the ticket. As soon as you send us a message, a customer profile is created in the helpdesk system with first name, last name and e-mail address and, if necessary, further data as described above (e.g. company). All messages that you send us are thus automatically assigned to your customer profile. If necessary, we will manually complete the details of your account. For example, information about your function (e.g. contact person). This helps us to assign you more quickly to answer your inquiry more efficiently.

Recipients / categories of recipients:

A ticket covers the communication between you and us. You send us a request, to which we will respond. Depending on whether the problem is solved immediately or there are further queries, it is possible that there will be a repeated exchange of e-mails. If you send us a new message (e.g. with a different subject), a new support case or ticket will be created. At the latest ten years after the last communication a support case / ticket will be deleted. All your tickets will be assigned to your account. This account will be deleted at the latest 10 years after the last communication. The deletion check and execution of the deletion takes place annually.
