3. Cookies
The internet pages of elearnio.com use cookies. Cookies are text files that are placed and stored on a computer system via an Internet browser.Numerous Internet pages and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a string of characters by which Internet pages and servers can be assigned to the specific Internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This enables the visited Internet pages and servers to distinguish the individual browser of the responsible person from other Internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific internet browser can be recognized and identified via the unique cookie ID.
Through the use of cookies, the elearnio can provide the users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the cookie setting.
By means of a cookie, the information and offers on our website can be optimized in terms of the user. Cookies allow us, as already mentioned, to recognize the users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to use our website. For example, the user of a website that uses cookies does not have to re-enter his or her access data each time he or she visits the website, because this is handled by the website and the cookie stored on the user's computer system. Another example is the cookie of a shopping cart in an online store. The online store remembers the items that a customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart via a cookie.
The responsible person can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of an appropriate setting of the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Furthermore, cookies that have already been set can be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all common Internet browsers. If the responsible person deactivates the setting of cookies in the Internet browser used, not all functions of our website may be fully usable.

4. Legal basis of processing
Article 6 I lit. a DS-GVO serves our company as the legal basis for processing operations in which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the responsible person is a party, as is the case, for example, with processing operations that are necessary for the delivery of goods or the provision of another service or consideration, the processing is based on Article 6 I lit. b DS-GVO. The same applies to such processing operations that are necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of inquiries about our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation by which a processing of personal data becomes necessary, such as for the fulfillment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. c DS-GVO. In rare cases, the processing of personal data might become necessary to protect vital interests of the responsible person or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were to be injured on our premises and as a result his or her name, age, health insurance data or other vital information had to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. Then the processing would be based on Art. 6 I lit. d DS-GVO. Finally, processing operations could be based on Art. 6 I lit. f DS-GVO. Processing operations that are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases are based on this legal basis if the processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the responsible person are not overridden. Such processing operations are permitted to us in particular because they were specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this respect, it took the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the responsible person is a customer of the controller (recital 47 sentence 2 DS-GVO).

5. Legitimate interests in the processing pursued by the controller or a third party
If the processing of personal data is based on Article 6 I lit. f GDPR our legitimate interest is the performance of our business activities for the benefit of the well-being of all our employees and our shareholders.

6. Duration for which the personal information is stored
The criterion for the duration of storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After expiry of the period, the corresponding data is routinely deleted, provided that it is no longer required for the fulfillment or initiation of the contract.

7. Legal or contractual requirements to provide the personal data; necessity for the conclusion of the contract; obligation of the responsible person to provide the personal data; possible consequences of non-provision

We would like to inform you that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or may also result from contractual regulations (e.g. information on the contractual partner). Sometimes, in order to conclude a contract, it may be necessary for a responsible person to provide us with personal data that must subsequently be processed by us. For example, the responsible person is obliged to provide us with personal data if our company concludes a contract with him or her. Failure to provide the personal data would mean that the contract with the responsible person could not be concluded. Before providing personal data by the responsible person, the responsible person must contact our data protection officer. Our data protection officer will inform the responsible person on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of the personal data is required by law or contract or is necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data, and what the consequences of not providing the personal data would be.

8. Collection of general data and information
The website elearnio GmbH collects a series of general data and information with each call-up of the website by a responsible person or automated system. This general data and information is stored in the log files of the server. The following data may be collected: (1) the browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system accesses our website (so-called referrer), (4) the sub-websites that are accessed via an accessing system on our website, (5) the date and time of an access to the website, (6) an Internet protocol address (IP address), (7) the Internet service provider of the accessing system and (8) other similar data and information that serve to avert danger in the event of attacks on our information technology systems. When using these general data and information, the elearnio does not draw any conclusions about the responsible person. Rather, this information is needed in order to 

(1) deliver the contents of our website correctly,

(2) optimize the content of our website and the advertising for it,

(3) ensure the long-term functionality of our information technology systems and the technology of our website, and 

(4) to provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for prosecution in the event of a cyber-attack. Therefore, the elearnio analyzes anonymously collected data and information on one hand for statistical purposes and on the other hand for the purpose of increasing the data protection and data security of our enterprise, and ultimately to ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from any personal data provided by a responsible person.

9. Registration on our website
The affected person has the option to register on the website of the controller by providing personal data. Which personal data is transmitted to the controller in the process results from the respective input mask used for the registration. The personal data entered by the responsible person are collected and stored exclusively for internal use by the controller and for its own purposes. The controller may arrange for the data to be transferred to one or more processors, for example a parcel service provider, who will also use the personal data exclusively for an internal use attributable to the controller.

By registering on the website of the controller, the IP address assigned by the Internet service provider (ISP) of the responsible person, the date and the time of registration are also stored. The storage of this data takes place against the background that only in this way can the misuse of our services be prevented and, if necessary, this data makes it possible to clarify crimes that have been committed. In this respect, the storage of this data is necessary for the protection of the data controller. As a matter of principle, this data is not passed on to third parties unless there is a legal obligation to pass it on or the passing on serves the purpose of criminal prosecution.

The registration of the affected person by voluntarily providing personal data serves the purpose of the controller to offer the affected person content or services which, due to the nature of the matter, can only be offered to registered users. Registered persons are free to modify the personal data provided during registration at any time or to have it completely deleted from the data stock of the controller.
The controller shall provide any responsible person at any time, upon request, with information about what personal data is stored about the responsible person. Furthermore, the controller shall correct or delete personal data at the request or indication of the responsible person, provided that this does not conflict with any statutory retention obligations. A data protection officer named in this data protection declaration and the entire staff of the controller are available to the responsible person as contact persons in this context.

10. Privacy policy on the use and application of Zoho
elearnio.com uses services provided by Zoho Corporation B. V., Hoogoorddreef 15, 1101BA Amsterdam (hereinafter "Zoho"). You can see which services these are and how they affect your personal data in the following sections. Zoho is certified under the US-EU data protection agreement "Privacy Shield" and thus undertakes to comply with the European data protection requirements. For more information, please visit Zoho's pages (https://www.zoho.com/de/privacy.html). Future elearnio.com uses Zoho exclusively on European servers. We use the Zoho service "Campaigns" to register for and send newsletters.

The following information explains the contents of our newsletters, the registration, dispatch and statistical evaluation process and your rights of objection. By subscribing to our newsletter, you agree to receive it and to the described procedures.

10.1 Content of the Newsletter
We send newsletters, e-mails and other electronic notifications with promotional information (hereinafter "newsletter") only with the consent of the recipients or a legal permission. Insofar as the contents of the Newsletter are specifically described in the context of a registration, they are decisive for the consent of the users. For the rest, our newsletters contain information about our offers and promotions.

10.2 Double-Opt-In and logging
Registration for our newsletters takes place in a so-called double opt-in process. 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 register with other people's e-mail addresses. The 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 both the registration and confirmation time as well as the IP address. Likewise, changes to your data stored with Zoho Campaigns are logged.

10.3 Zoho Campaigns
The email addresses of our newsletter recipients, as well as their other data described in this notice, are stored on Zoho's EU servers in Amsterdam and Dublin. Zoho uses this information to send and evaluate the newsletters on our behalf. Furthermore, according to its own information, Zoho may use this data to optimize or improve its own services, for example, to technically optimize the dispatch and display of the newsletters or for economic purposes to determine from which countries the recipients come. However, Zoho does not use the data of our newsletter recipients to address them itself or to pass them on to third parties.

We trust in the reliability and IT and data security of Zoho and have concluded a "Data Processing Agreement". This is a contract in which Zoho undertakes to protect the data of our users, to process it on our behalf in accordance with its data protection provisions and, in particular, not to pass it on to third parties. You can view Zoho's privacy policy here: https://www.zoho.com/de/privacy.html

10.4 Registration information
To sign up for a newsletter, it is sufficient to provide your e-mail address. Optionally, we ask you to provide your first and last name. This information is only used to personalize the newsletter.

10.5 Statistical survey and analyses
The newsletters contain a so-called "web beacon", i.e. a pixel-sized file that is retrieved from the Zoho server when the newsletter is opened. As part of this retrieval, technical information such as information about 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 with the help of the IP address) or the access times. The statistical surveys also include the determination of whether the 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 nor Zoho's intention to observe individual users. Rather, the evaluations serve us 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.

10.6 Online call and data management
There are instances where we direct newsletter recipients to Zoho's websites. For example, our newsletters contain a link that newsletter recipients can use to access the newsletters online (for example, in the event of display problems in the email program). Furthermore, newsletter recipients can subsequently correct their data, such as their email address. Likewise, Zoho's privacy policy is only available on their site. In this context, we would like to point out that cookies are used on Zoho's websites and thus personal data is processed by Zoho, its partners and service providers used (for example, Google Analytics). We have no influence on this data collection. For more information, please refer to Zoho's privacy policy. In addition, we would like to point out that you have the option to object to the collection of data for advertising purposes on the websites www.aboutads.info/choices/ and www.youronlinechoices.com/ (for the European region).

10.7 Termination/Revocation
You can cancel the receipt of our newsletter at any time, that is, revoke your consents. You will find a link to cancel the newsletter at the end of each newsletter. However, you can also object to the receipt at any time without giving reasons by sending an e-mail to the address info@elearnio.com or in writing to: elearnio.com, Heinrich-Mann-Allee 3b in 14473 Potsdam. After cancellation, your data will be deleted except for the e-mail address. The e-mail address will be stored in a blacklist and will only be used to ensure that we do not send any further e-mails to your e-mail address.

11. Contact option via the website
Based on statutory provisions, the website elearnio GmbH contains data that enable a quick electronic contact to our enterprise, as well as direct communication with us, which also includes a general address of the so-called electronic mail (e-mail address). If a responsible person contacts the controller by e-mail or by using a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the responsible person will be stored automatically. Such personal data transmitted on a voluntary basis by a responsible person to the controller will be stored for the purpose of processing or contacting the responsible person. No disclosure of this personal data to third parties will take place.

12. Comment function in the blog on the website
The elearnio provides users with the possibility to leave individual comments on individual blog contributions on a blog, which is on the website of the controller. A blog is a portal maintained on a website, usually publicly viewable, in which one or more persons, called bloggers or web bloggers, can post articles or write down thoughts in so-called blogposts. The blogposts can usually be commented on by third parties.

If a affected person leaves a comment in the blog published on this website, in addition to the comments left by the affected person, information on the time of comment entry and the user name (pseudonym) chosen by the affected person will be stored and published. Furthermore, the IP address assigned by the Internet service provider (ISP) of the person concerned is also logged. This storage of the IP address is done for security reasons and in case the responsible person violates the rights of third parties by posting a comment or posts illegal content. The storage of this personal data is therefore in the controller's own interest, so that the controller could exculpate itself if necessary in the event of an infringement. There is no disclosure of this collected personal data to third parties, unless such disclosure is required by law or serves the legal defense of the controller.

13. Subscription to comments in the blog on the website
The comments made on the blog elearnio GmbH may be subscribed to by third parties. In particular, it is possible for a commentator to subscribe to the comments following his or her comment on a specific blog post.
If a responsible person opts for the option to subscribe to comments, the controller sends an automatic confirmation e-mail in order to verify in a double opt-in procedure that the owner of the specified e-mail address has indeed opted for this option. The option to subscribe to comments can be terminated at any time.

14. Routine deletion and blocking of personal data
The controller processes and stores personal data of the affected person only for the period of time necessary to achieve the purpose of storage or insofar as this has been provided for by the European Directive and Regulation Maker or another legislator in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject.If the purpose of storage no longer applies or if a storage period prescribed by the European Directive and Regulation Maker or another competent legislator expires, the personal data are routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with the statutory provisions.

If this is the case, the responsible person also has the right to obtain information about the appropriate safeguards in connection with the transfer. If a responsible person wishes to exercise this right of access, he or she may, at any time, contact our data protection officer or another employee of the controller.

c) Right to correction

(1) is not necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between the responsible person and the controller; or

(2) is permitted by Union or Member State law to which the data controller is subject, and that law contains suitable measures to safeguard the rights and freedoms and legitimate interests of the responsible person; or

(3) takes place with the explicit consent of the responsible person.

16. Data protection during applications and the application process
The controller collects and processes the personal data of applicants for the purpose of handling the application procedure. The processing may also take place electronically. This is the case, in particular, when an applicant submits relevant application documents to the controller by electronic means, for example, by e-mail or via a web form located on the website. If the controller concludes an employment contract with an applicant, the transmitted data will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in compliance with the statutory provisions. If the controller does not conclude an employment contract with the applicant, the application documents will be automatically deleted two months after notification of the rejection decision, provided that no other legitimate interests of the controller conflict with such deletion. Other legitimate interest in this sense is, for example, a duty to provide evidence in proceedings under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).

17. Privacy policy on the use and application of Facebook
The controller has integrated components of the company Facebook on this website. Facebook is a social network.
A social network is a social meeting place operated on the Internet, an online community that generally allows users to communicate and interact with each other in virtual space. A social network can serve as a platform for sharing opinions and experiences or enables the Internet community to provide personal or company-related information. Facebook allows users of the social network to create private profiles, upload photos and network via friend requests, among other things.
The operating company of Facebook is Facebook, Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA. If a responsible person lives outside the USA or Canada, the controller of personal data is Facebook Ireland Ltd, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.
By each access to one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the controller and on which a Facebook component (Facebook plug-in) has been integrated, the internet browser on the information technology system of the responsible person is automatically caused by the respective Facebook component to download a representation of the corresponding Facebook component from Facebook. A complete overview of all Facebook plug-ins can be found at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/?locale=de_DE. Within the scope of this technical procedure, Facebook receives knowledge of which specific subpage of our website is visited by the affected person.

If the affected person is logged in to Facebook at the same time, Facebook recognizes which specific subpage of our website the affected person is visiting each time the affected person calls up our website and for the entire duration of the respective stay on our website. This information is collected by the Facebook component and assigned by Facebook to the respective Facebook account of the responsible person. If the affected person activates one of the Facebook buttons integrated on our website, for example the "Like" button, or if the affected person makes a comment, Facebook assigns this information to the personal Facebook user account of the affected person and stores this personal data.

Facebook always receives information via the Facebook component that the responsible person has visited our website if the responsible person is logged into Facebook at the same time as calling up our website; this takes place regardless of whether the responsible person clicks on the Facebook component or not. If the responsible person does not want this information to be transmitted to Facebook, he or she can prevent the transmission by logging out of his or her Facebook account before accessing our website.
The data policy published by Facebook, which can be accessed at https://de-de.facebook.com/about/privacy/, provides information about the collection, processing and use of personal data by Facebook. It also explains which setting options Facebook offers to protect the privacy of the responsible person. In addition, various applications are available that make it possible to suppress data transmission to Facebook, for example the Facebook blocker from the provider Webgraph, which can be procured at http://webgraph.com/resources/facebookblocker/. Such applications can be used by the responsible person to suppress data transmission to Facebook.

18. Use of web analytics services

18.1 Zoho SalesIQ (with anonymization function)
When visiting our website, anonymized usage data is collected by means of the ZOHO service SalesIQ (https://zoho.eu/salesiq). SalesIQ uses so-called "cookies", which enable an analysis of our website. You can prevent this "tracking" through appropriate settings in your browser.We store this data exclusively for statistical purposes. The IP addresses are shortened by the last digits within the scope of the legislation in order to ensure anonymity.

18.2 Zoho Page Sense (with anonymization function)
When visiting our website, anonymized usage data is collected by means of the ZOHO service PageSense (https://zuho.eu/pagesense). Page Sense only records the visit and clicks on our website completely anonymously. There is no conclusion on individual visitors. PageSense only enables us to check the general use of our website in the form of a heat map and subsequently display important content at the right place on the individual web pages. No usage data or personal data is collected or stored.

18.3 Google Analytics (with anonymization function)
The controller has integrated the Google Analytics component (with anonymization function) on this website. Google Analytics is a web analysis service. Web analysis is the collection, compilation and analysis of data about the behavior of visitors to websites. A web analysis service collects, among other things, data on which website a responsible person came to a website from (so-called referrers), which subpages of the website were accessed or how often and for how long a subpage was viewed. A web analysis is predominantly used for the optimization of a website and for the cost-benefit analysis of internet advertising.
The operating company of the Google Analytics component is Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.The controller uses the add-on "_gat._anonymizeIp" for web analysis via Google Analytics. By means of this addition, the IP address of the Internet connection of the responsible person is shortened and anonymized by Google if access to our Internet pages is from a member state of the European Union or from another state party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.

The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyze the flow of visitors to our website. Google uses the data and information obtained, among other things, to evaluate the use of our website, to compile online reports for us showing the activities on our website, and to provide other services related to the use of our website.
Google Analytics sets a cookie on the information technology system of the responsible person. What cookies are has already been explained above. By setting the cookie, Google is enabled to analyze the use of our website. By each call of one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the controller and on which a Google Analytics component has been integrated, the internet browser on the information technology system of the responsible person is automatically caused by the respective Google Analytics component to transmit data to Google for the purpose of online analysis. As part of this technical process, Google obtains knowledge of personal data, such as the IP address of the responsible person, which Google uses, among other things, to track the origin of visitors and clicks and subsequently enable commission calculations.

The installation of the browser add-on is considered by Google as an objection. If the information technology system of the responsible person is deleted, formatted or reinstalled at a later point in time, the responsible person must reinstall the browser add-on in order to deactivate Google Analytics. If the browser add-on is uninstalled or deactivated by the responsible person or another person within the responsible person's sphere of control, it is possible to reinstall or reactivate the browser add-on.
