(1) The Protonic Software GmbH websites use cookies.
(2) Numerous websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain so-called cookie IDs. A cookie ID is a unique identifier for the cookie. It consists of a character string that makes it possible for websites and servers to be assigned to the concrete Internet browser in which the cookie is stored. This makes it possible for the visited websites and servers to differentiate the individual browser of the Data Subject from other Internet browsers that contain other cookies. A certain Internet browser can be recognized and identified by the unique cookie ID.
(3) By using cookies, Protonic Software GmbH is able to provide user-friendly services to the users of this website, which would not be possible without the cookie setting.
(4) By means of a cookie, information and offers on our websites are optimized for the user. As already mentioned, cookies make it possible for us to recognize the users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to use our website. The user of a website that uses cookies does not have to enter access data again each time the website is accessed, for example, as this is taken from the website and the cookie stored in the user's computer system. Another example is the cookie for a shopping basket for ordering brochures or making hotel reservations. The website remembers the ordered services that the customer placed in the virtual shopping basket by means of a cookie.
(5) The Data Subject can prevent cookies from being set by our website using the corresponding setting in the utilized Internet browser and thereby permanently block the setting of cookies. Furthermore, cookies that were already set can be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or another software program. This is possible in all standard Internet browsers.

(2) By registering on the website of the Data Controller, also the date and time of the registration is stored. This data is stored due to the fact that this is the only way to prevent the misuse of our services, and this data can be used if necessary to clarify any offences that were committed. Therefore this data must be stored to protect the Data Controller. This data will in general not be provided to third parties, unless there is a legal obligation to do so or it must be forwarded as part of a criminal prosecution.
(3) The registration of the Data Subject with the voluntary submission of the personal data is used by the Data Controller to offer contents or services to the Data Subject that, due to the nature of the matter, can only be offered to registered users. Registered persons have the possibility to modify the personal data provided upon registration or to have it completely deleted from the Data Controller's database, providing that there is no overriding legal obligation that obliges the responsibility body to keep the data.
Upon request, the Data Controller will inform every Data Subject about which personal data concerning the Data Subject has been stored.

(1) Users will be given the opportunity on the Protonic Software GmbH website and in the App to subscribe to our company newsletter. The personal data that must be forwarded to the Data Controller when ordering the newsletter can be seen in the input mask used for this purpose.
(2) Protonic Software GmbH uses a newsletter to regularly inform its customers and business partners about company offers. Our company newsletter can only be received in general by the Data Subject if (1) the Data Subject has a valid e-mail address and (2) the Data Subject registers for the newsletter. For legal reasons, a confirmation e-mail will be sent for the first time to the e-mail address entered by the Data Subject using the double opt-in procedure. The confirmation e-mail serves the purpose of checking if the owner of the e-mail address, as the Data Subject, authorized the receipt of the newsletter.
(3) When registering for the newsletter, we also store the IP address assigned by the Internet Service Provider (ISP) to the computer system used by the Data Subject at the moment of registration, as well as the date and time of the registration. This data must be collected in order to reconstruct at a later time a (possible) misuse of the e-mail address of a Data Subject and is therefore is necessary for the legal protection of the Data Controller.
(4) The personal data collected during registration for the newsletter will only be used for sending our newsletter. Furthermore, newsletter subscribers could receive information via e-mail, if this is required for the operation of the newsletter service or the respective registration, as is in the case of changes to the newsletter offer or changes in technical conditions. The personal data collected for the newsletter service will not be forwarded to third parties. The Data Subject can cancel the subscription to our newsletter at any time. The consent to store the personal data that the Data Subject provided to use for the newsletter subscription can be revoked at any time. There is a corresponding link in every newsletter that can be used to revoke consent. Furthermore, it is possible to cancel the newsletter subscription directly on the website of the Data Controller or to indicate this to the Data Controller in another manner.
(1) The Protonic Software GmbH newsletter contain so-called web beacons. A web beacon is a small image that is embedded in e-mails that are sent in HTML format to permit the recording of log files and the analysis of the log file. This makes it possible to statistically evaluate the success or failure of online marketing campaigns. Protonic Software GmbH can use these embedded web beacons to recognize if and when an e-mail is opened by a Data Subject and which of the links contained in the e-mail were activated by the Data Subject.
(2) The personal data collected via the web beacons contained in the newsletters are stored and evaluated by the Data Controller in order to optimize the newsletter and to better adapt the content of future newsletters to the interests of the Data Subject. This personal data is not forwarded to third parties. Data Subjects are entitled at any time to revoke the relative separate declaration of consent provided via the double opt-in procedure. After revocation, the personal data will be deleted by the Data Controller. Protonic Software GmbH shall automatically interpret the cancellation of the newsletter as revocation.
(1) Art. 6 Ietter a of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) provides our company with the legal basis by means of which we can receive consent for a certain processing purpose. If it is necessary to process personal data for the fulfillment of a contract, and the contract party is the Data Subject, such as is the case, for example, for processing operations that are necessary to delivery goods or provide other services or services in return, the processing is based on Art. 6 I letter. b of GDPR. The same applies for those processing operations that are required for carrying out pre-contractual measures, such as when making inquiries about our products or services.
(2) If our company is subject to a legal obligation that makes it necessary to process personal data, such as for the fulfillment of tax obligations, for example, this processing is based on Art. 6 I letter. c of GDPR.
(3) It may be necessary in rare cases to process personal data in order to protect the vital interests of the Data Subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, when a visitor to our company is injured and must therefore his or her name, age, health insurance information or other vital information must be given to a physician, hospital or other third party. In that case, the processing would be based on Art. 6 I letter d of GDPR. Finally, processing operations can be based on Art. 6 I letter f of GDPR. Processing operations are based on this legal basis that are not included in any of the previously mentioned legal bases when the processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, as long as the interests, legal basis and fundamental freedoms of the Data Subject do not prevail. Such processing operations are therefore permitted in particular as they are specifically mentioned by the European legislator. This considers that a legitimate interest could be assumed when the Data Subject is a customer of the Data Controller (Recital 47, second sentence of GDPR).
If the processing of personal data is based on Article 6 I letter f of GDPR, it is our legitimate interest to carry out our business operations to the benefit of all our employees and our shareholders.
As a conscientious company, we do not use automatic decision making or profiling.
