With the following information we would like to give you an overview of the processing of your personal data by us and your rights under data protection law.
We process personal data that we receive from our customers and business partners in the course of our business relationships. In addition, we process – to the extent necessary for the provision of our services – personal data that we obtain from publicly accessible sources (e.g. commercial and association registers, press, Internet) or which are transmitted to us by other companies or third parties (e.g. a credit agency).
Relevant personal data are personal data (name, address and other contact data, date of birth), order data (e.g. payment order). In addition, this may also include data relating to the performance of our contractual obligations, information about your financial situation (e.g. creditworthiness data) and other data comparable to the categories mentioned.
We process personal data in accordance with the provisions of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the German Federal Data Protection Act (Bundesdatenschutzgesetz (BDSG)).
a) to fulfil contractual obligations (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR)
The processing of data takes place for the fulfilment of contractual obligations between UseTree GmbH with their customers and business partners. This includes the provision of services in the field of UX-Consulting & Training, UX-Research, UX-Design and UX-Development
b) as part of the balancing of interests (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR)
If necessary, we process your data beyond the actual fulfilment of the contract to protect the legitimate interests of us or third parties. For example, for consultation and data exchange with credit agencies, for asserting legal claims and defence in legal disputes, for preventing or clarifying criminal offences or for measures for business management and further development of services and products.
c) on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR)
If you consent to the processing of personal data for certain purposes the lawfulness of this processing is given on the basis of your consent. Your consent can be revoked at any time. This also applies to the revocation of declarations of consent given to us before the GDPR came valid, i.e. before 25 May 2018. The revocation of a consent only takes effect for the future and does not affect the legality of the data processed until the revocation.
Within the UseTree GmbH, those parties who need your data to fulfil their contractual obligations will have access to it.
Furthermore, personal data may be used for the purpose of billing and accounting.
Other data recipients may be those entities for which you have given us your consent to transfer data or for which we are authorized to transfer personal data on the basis of a weighing of interests.
In principle, personal data is not transferred to countries outside the European Union (so-called third countries) unless required by law (e.g. tax reporting requirements or your consent). Insofar as a transfer takes place, e.g. to Switzerland or the USA, the data protection regulations pursuant to Art. 44 esp. pages GDPR applies.
We process and store your personal data as long as this is necessary to fulfil our contractual and legal obligations. If the data are no longer required for the fulfilment of our obligations, they will be deleted regularly, unless their further processing – for a limited period – is necessary for the following purposes:
Fulfilment of commercial and tax retention obligations that may arise, for example, from: Handelsgesetzbuch (HGB) german Commercial Code, Abgabenordnung (AO) German Tax Code (AO). The periods for storage and documentation specified there are usually two to ten years.
Preservation of evidence within the framework of the statutory statute of limitations. According to §§ 195 et seq. of the German Civil Code (Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch (BGB)), these limitation periods can be up to 30 years, whereby the regular limitation period is 3 years, calculated from the end of the year in which the business relationship ends.
Every data subject has the right of access under Article 15 GDPR, the right of rectification under Article 16 GDPR, the right of cancellation under Article 17 GDPR, the right of limitation of processing under Article 18 GDPR, the right of opposition under Article 21 GDPR and the right of data transfer under Article 20 GDPR. The restrictions under §§ 34 and 35 BDSG apply to the right of access and the right of cancellation. In addition, there is a right of appeal to the competent data protection supervisory authority (Article 77 GDPR in conjunction with § 19 BDSG).
You can revoke your consent to the processing of personal data at any time. This also applies to the revocation of declarations of consent given to us before the GDPR came into force, i.e. before 25 May 2018. Please note that the revocation will only take effect in the future. Processing that took place before the revocation is not affected by this.
As part of our business relationship, you must provide the personal information that is necessary to establish, conduct and terminate a business relationship and to fulfill the contractual obligations associated therewith, or that we are required by law to collect. Without this information, we will generally not be able to enter into, execute or terminate a contract with you.
