M-is – 18 Apr 2019

The protection of your personal data is of particular concern to us at M-is.
Therefore, we comply with the legal requirements when we collect and process your personal data. Below you will find extensive information about the scope and purpose of collecting data.

Principle of anonymous data use
‍In principle, our website can be used without providing personal data. The legal basis for data protection can be found in the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).When you access our website some information, such as IP address, is transferred. You are also providing information about the end device used (computer, smartphone, tablet etc.), the browser used (Internet Explorer, Safari, Firefox etc.), time of visit to the website, the so-called referrer and volume of data transferred.We cannot use this data to identify an individual user. We only use this information to determine how to improve website performance or content, if necessary, and make their design even more appealing to you.Please bear in mind, however, that in the case of a static IP address, personal identification is possible by RIPE query in individual cases, although we do not perform this. Nevertheless, this website is accessible for both static and dynamic IP addresses assigned.

Collection and processing of personal data
We only collect personal data if you provide it to us, for example when you contact us, via the website.We use the personal data you provide only to the extent that your data is necessary for rendering or processing our services.We store your data for as long as is necessary to achieve the intended purpose or for as long as legal retention periods require data to be stored. Your data is subsequently deleted in accordance with legal requirements or processing is restricted.In the case of use purely for information, i.e. if you do not register or send us information another way, we only collect personal data which your browser transfers to our servers. If you want to view our website, we collect the following data, which we require for technical purposes in order to show you our content and guarantee stability and security (legal basis is a legitimate interest pursuant to Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR).In the context of the balance of interests in accordance with Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR, we have considered and weighed up our interest in website provision and your interest in data protection compliant processing of your personal data. As the data below is technically required for the provision of our service in order to offer you our website and also guarantee stability and security, in particular protection against misuse, we have reached the conclusion that, with a state-of-the-art oriented data security guarantee, this data can be processed whereby appropriate consideration will be given to your interest in data protection compliant processing.

Cookies and tracking pixels
‍We use cookies to improve our web service and make your use as easy as possible. Cookies are small text files which are saved on your computer when you visit our website. They facilitate the repeated allocation of your browser. Cookies save information, such as your language settings, duration of the visit to our website or the entries you made there.

Please bear in mind, however, that our website service can only be used to a limited extent without cookies.Moreover, every time our website is loaded, we record how often it is visited and clicked on by using tags on our website, so-called tracking pixels, likewise without any interference and intervention for your computer.

Google Analytics
We use the Google Analytics service from Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland) to analyse our website visitors. Google uses cookies to track the use of the online product or service by users and the information is generally transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there.Google will use this information on our behalf to evaluate the use of our online products and services by users, to compile reports on the activities within these online products and services and to provide us with further services associated with the use of these online products and services and the use of the internet. Pseudonymous user profiles can be created from the processed data.We use Google Analytics only with IP anonymisation enabled. This means that Google will truncate the IP address of users within Member States of the European Union or in other states that are party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. The IP address transmitted by the user’s browser is not merged with other Google data. Users can prevent cookies from being stored by adjusting the settings to their browser software accordingly.The legal basis for the use of this service is Art. 6 paragraph 1 sentence 1 letter f GDPR. Users can prevent the collection of data generated by cookies by downloading and installing the browser plug-in that is available at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en.Google is certified under the Privacy Shield Agreement and thus guarantees compliance with European data protection legislation (https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active)

Transfer of data to third parties
We only pass your personal data on to third parties if:
You have given your explicit consent to this,
Forwarding data is necessary for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims and there is no reason to assume you have an overriding  legitimate interest in your data not being passed on,
In the event that we have a legal obligation to forward data, and
This is legally permissible and required for the performance of the contractual relationship with you.

In the case of data transfer outside the European Union, the high European level of data protection essentially does not exist. It may be the case with a transfer that an EU Commission adequacy decision in accordance with Article 45 (1) (3) GDPR is not currently in place. This means the EU Commission has not yet decided that the level of data protection in the respective country corresponds to the level of protection in the European Union based on the GDPR. Consequently, we have put the appropriate guarantees referred to above in place. Potential risks, which cannot be ruled out completely in connection with data transfer, are in particular:

Your personal data could be processed over and above the intended purpose.
Moreover, there is a possibility that you may not be able to exercise your rights in relation to data protection, for example your right of access, to rectification, erasure or data portability, on a consistent basis and enforce these.
It may also be highly likely that data is processed incorrectly and in quantitative and qualitative terms, the protection of personal data fails to meet the requirements of the GDPR in full.
