Privacy
Regulates the handling of personal data.
Last update: November 01, 2019
Privacy
We are very delighted that you have shown interest in our company. Data protection is of a particularly high priority for the management of the Florian Software. The use of the Internet pages of Florian Software is possible without any indication of personal data; however, if a data subject wants to use special enterprise services via our website, processing of personal data could become necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we generally obtain the consent of the data subject.
The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, e-mail address or telephone number of a data subject, is always carried out in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to Florian-Software. With this privacy policy, our company would like to inform the public about the type, scope and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process. In addition, data subjects are informed of their rights by means of this privacy policy.
As the controller, Florian Software has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection of personal data processed through this website. However, Internet-based data transmissions may in principle have security gaps, so absolute protection may not be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transmit personal data to us by alternative means, e.g. by telephone.
1. definitions
The data protection declaration of Florian Software is based on the terms used by the European legislator for the adoption of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our privacy policy should be readable and understandable for the general public as well as for our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would first like to explain the terminology used.
In this privacy policy, we use the following terms, among others:
a) Personal data
Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person ("data subject"). An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.
b) Person concerned
Data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the controller responsible for the processing.
c) Processing
Processing is any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organization, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.
d) Restriction of processing
Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of restricting its processing in the future.
e) Profiling
Profiling is any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyze or predict aspects concerning that natural person's performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, location or movements.
f) Pseudonymization
Pseudonymization is the processing of personal data in such a manner that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organizational measures to ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.
g) Controller or controller responsible for the processing
Controller or controller responsible for the processing is the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data; where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union or Member State law, the controller or the specific criteria for its nomination may be provided for by Union or Member State law.
h) Processor
Processor is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.
i) Recipient
Recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or another body, to which the personal data are disclosed, whether a third party or not. However, authorities which may receive personal data in the framework of a particular inquiry in accordance with Union or Member State law shall not be regarded as recipients; the processing of those data by those authorities shall be in compliance with the applicable data protection rules according to the purposes of the processing.
j) Third party
Third party is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or body other than the data subject, controller, processor and persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or processor, are authorized to process personal data.
k) Consent
Consent of the data subject is any voluntary, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject's wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her.
2. name and address of the person responsible

3. cookies
The Internet pages of Florian Software use cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored in a computer system via an Internet browser.
Many websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier for the cookie. It consists of a string of characters that can be used to assign websites and servers to the specific internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This enables visited websites and servers to distinguish the individual browser of the company concerned from other Internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific Internet browser can be recognized and identified using the unique cookie ID.
Through the use of cookies, Florian Software 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 to suit the user. As already mentioned, cookies enable us to recognize our website users. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to use our website. The website user who uses cookies, for example, does not have to enter access data each time the website is accessed, as this is taken over by the website and the cookie is therefore stored on the user's computer system. Another example is the cookie of a shopping basket in an online store. The online store remembers the items that a customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart via a cookie.
The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of a corresponding 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 data subject deactivates the setting of cookies in the Internet browser used, it is possible that not all functions of our website can be used to their full extent.
4. collection of general data and information
The website of Florian Software collects a series of general data and information when a data subject or automated system calls up the website. This general data and information is stored in the server log files. We may collect (1) the browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrer), (4) the sub-websites, (5) the date and time of access to the website, (6) an Internet Protocol address (IP address), (7) the Internet service provider of the accessing system, and (8) any other similar data and information that may be used in the event of attacks on our IT systems.
When using these general data and information, Florian Software does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is needed to (1) deliver the content of our website correctly, (2) optimize the content of our website and its advertising, (3) to ensure the long-term functionality of our information technology systems and Internet technology and (4) to provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for prosecution in the event of a cyber-attack. Therefore, Florian Software analyzes anonymously collected data and information statistically, with the aim of increasing the data protection and data security of our enterprise, and 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 all personal data of a data subject.
5. registration on our website
The data subject has the option of registering on the controller's website by providing personal data. Which personal data is transmitted to the controller is determined by the respective input mask used for registration. The personal data entered by the data subject is collected and stored exclusively for internal use by the controller and for its own purposes. The controller may request the transfer to one or more processors (e.g. a parcel service) who also use personal data for an internal purpose attributable to the controller.
By registering on the controller's website, the IP address assigned by the Internet Service Provider (ISP) and used by the data subject as well as the date and time of registration are also stored. The storage of this data takes place against the background that this is the only way to prevent misuse of our services and, if necessary, to enable the investigation of criminal offenses committed. Insofar as the storage of this data is necessary to safeguard the controller. This data will not be disclosed to third parties unless there is a legal obligation to disclose the data or the disclosure serves the purpose of criminal prosecution.
The registration of the data subject with voluntary provision of personal data is intended to enable the controller to offer the data subject content or services which, due to the nature of the matter, may only be offered to registered users. Registered persons are free to change the personal data provided during registration at any time or to have it completely deleted from the controller's database.
The controller shall provide any data subject at any time, upon request, with information about what personal data is stored about the data subject. In addition, the controller shall rectify or erase personal data at the request or indication of the data subject, provided that there are no statutory retention obligations. The entirety of the controller's employees are available to the data subject as contact persons in this respect.
6 Routine deletion and blocking of personal data
The controller shall process and store the personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage, or as far as this is granted by the European legislator or other legislators in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject to.
If the storage purpose no longer applies or if a storage period prescribed by the European legislator or another competent legislator expires, the personal data will be routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with the statutory provisions.
7 Rights of the data subject

Furthermore, in exercising their right to data portability pursuant to Art. 20 (1) GDPR, the data subject has the right to have personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, insofar as this is technically feasible and does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.
In order to assert the right to data portability, the data subject may at any time contact any employee of Florian Software.
g) Right of objection
Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator to object, on grounds relating to his or her particular situation, at any time, to processing of personal data concerning him or her, which is based on point (e) or (f) of Article 6(1) GDPR. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions.
Florian Software shall no longer process the personal data in the event of the objection, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.
If Florian Software processes personal data for direct marketing purposes, the data subject shall have the right to object at any time to processing of personal data concerning him or her for such marketing. This applies to profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing.

In addition, the data subject has the right, on grounds relating to his or her particular situation, to object to processing of personal data concerning him or her by Florian Software for scientific or historical research purposes, or for statistical purposes pursuant to Article 89(1) of the GDPR, unless the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out for reasons of public interest.
In order to exercise the right to object, the data subject may contact any employee of Florian Software. In addition, the data subject is free in the context of the use of information society services, and notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, to use his or her right to object by automated means using technical specifications.
h) Automated decision-making in individual cases, including profiling
Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning him or her, or similarly significantly affects him or herunless the decision (1) is necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract between the data subject and a data controller, or (2) is authorized by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard the data subject's rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, or (3) is based on the data subject's explicit consent.
If the decision (1) is necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract between the data subject and a data controller, or (2) it is based on the data subject's explicit consent, Florian Software shall implement suitable measures to safeguard the data subject's rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express his or her point of view and contest the decision.
If the data subject wishes to exercise the rights concerning automated individual decision-making, he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of Florian Software.

8. data protection provisions about the application and use of Facebook
On this website, the controller has integrated components of the enterprise Facebook. Facebook is a social network.
A social network is a place for social meetings on the Internet, an online community that usually allows users to communicate with each other and interact in a virtual space. A social network can serve as a platform for the exchange of opinions and experiences or enable the Internet community to provide personal or business information. Facebook allows social network users to create private profiles, upload photos and connect via friend requests.
The operating company of Facebook is Facebook, Inc, 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA. If a person lives outside the United States or Canada, the controller is Facebook Ireland Ltd, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.
With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this Internet site, which is operated by the controller and on which a Facebook component (Facebook plug-ins) was integrated, the web browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted to download a display of the corresponding Facebook component of Facebook through the Facebook component. An overview of all the Facebook plug-ins can be found at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/. As part of this technical process, Facebook receives information about which specific subpage of our website is visited by the data subject.
If the data subject is logged in to Facebook at the same time, Facebook recognizes which specific subpage of our website was visited by the data subject each time the data subject accesses our website and for the entire duration of their stay on our website. This information is collected by the Facebook component and assigned to the respective Facebook account of the data subject. If the data subject clicks on one of the Facebook buttons integrated on our website, e.g. the "Like" button, or if the data subject submits a comment, then Facebook assigns this information to the personal Facebook user account of the data subject and stores the personal data.
Facebook always receives information through the Facebook component about a visit to our website by the data subject if the data subject is logged in to Facebook at the same time as accessing our website. This occurs regardless of whether the data subject clicks on the Facebook component or not. If such a transmission of information to Facebook is not desirable for the data subject, then he or she may prevent this by logging off from their Facebook account before a call-up to our website is made.
The privacy policy published by Facebook, which is available at https://facebook.com/about/privacy/, provides information about the collection, processing and use of personal data by Facebook.
It also explains what settings options Facebook offers to protect the privacy of the data subject. In addition, various configuration options are provided to eliminate data transmission to Facebook. These applications can be used by the data subject to prevent data transmission to Facebook.
9. data protection provisions about the application and use of Google Analytics (with anonymization function)
On this website, the controller has integrated the component of Google Analytics (with the anonymizer function). Google Analytics is a web analytics service. Web analytics is the collection, gathering and analysis of data about the behavior of visitors to websites. Among other things, a web analysis service collects data about which website a person came from (the so-called referrer), which subpages were visited or how often and for how long a subpage was viewed. Web analytics are mainly used to optimize a website and to carry out a cost-benefit analysis of Internet advertising.
The operator of the Google Analytics component is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland.
For web analysis by Google Analytics, the controller uses the application "_gat. _anonymizeIp". With the help of this application, the IP address of the data subject's Internet connection is shortened and anonymized by Google if they access our websites from a member state of the European Union or another state party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.
The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyze access to our website. Google uses the collected data and information, inter alia, to evaluate the use of our website and to provide online reports, which show the activities on our websites, and to provide other services concerning the use of our Internet site for us.
Google Analytics places a cookie on the data subject's IT system. The definition of cookies is explained above. By setting the cookie, Google is enabled to analyze the use of our website. With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this Internet site, which is operated by the controller and on which a Google Analytics component was integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject will automatically submit data through the Google Analytics component for the purpose of online advertising and the settlement of commissions to Google. As part of this technical process, Google obtains knowledge of personal information, such as the IP address of the person concerned, which Google uses, among other things, to trace the origin of visitors and clicks and subsequently to create commission statements.
The cookie is used to store personal information, such as the access time, the location from which the access was made, and the frequency of visits of our website by the data subject. Each time our website is visited, such personal data, including the IP address of the Internet access used by the data subject, is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass on this personal data collected as part of the technical process to third parties.
The data subject can, as stated above, prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of a corresponding setting of the web browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such an adjustment to the Internet browser used would also prevent Google Analytics from setting a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. Furthermore, cookies already used by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time via a web browser or other software programs.
In addition, the data subject has the possibility of objecting to a collection of data that are generated by Google Analytics, which is related to the use of this website, as well as the processing of this data by Google and the chance to preclude any such. For this purpose, the data subject must download and install a browser add-on under the link https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. This browser add-on informs Google Analytics via a JavaScript that data and information about visits to websites may not be transmitted to Google Analytics. The installation of the browser add-ons is considered an objection by Google. If the data subject's information technology system is later deleted, formatted or reinstalled, the data subject must reinstall the browser add-ons in order to deactivate Google Analytics. If the browser add-on was uninstalled or deactivated by the data subject or another person who is attributable to their area of responsibility, it is possible to reinstall or reactivate the browser add-ons.
Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of Google may be retrieved under https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/ and under http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/us.html. Google Analytics is explained in more detail at the following link https://www.google.com/analytics/.
10. data protection provisions about the application and use of YouTube
The data controller has integrated YouTube components on this website. YouTube is an Internet video portal that enables video publishers to post video clips and other users to view, review and comment on them free of charge. YouTube allows you to publish all types of videos, so you can access full movies and TV shows as well as music videos, trailers and videos created by users via the Internet portal.
The operating company of YouTube is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland.
With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this Internet site, which is operated by the controller and on which a YouTube component (YouTube video) was integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted to download a display of the corresponding YouTube component.
Further information about YouTube can be found at https://www.youtube.com/yt/about/en/. As part of this technical process, YouTube and Google receive information about which specific subpage of our website is visited by the data subject.
If the data subject is logged in to YouTube, YouTube recognizes which specific subpage of our website was visited by the data subject each time a subpage containing a YouTube video is accessed. This information is collected by YouTube and Google and assigned to the respective YouTube account of the data subject.
YouTube and Google receive information through the YouTube component that the data subject has visited our website if the data subject is logged in to YouTube at the time of accessing our website; this happens regardless of whether the person clicks on a YouTube video or not. If the data subject does not want this information to be transmitted to YouTube and Google, delivery can be prevented by logging out of the data subject's YouTube account before accessing our website.
YouTube's privacy policy, available at https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/, provides information about the collection, processing and use of personal data by YouTube and Google.
11. payment method: Data protection provisions about the use of PayPal as a payment processor
The data controller has integrated PayPal components on this website. PayPal is an online payment service provider. Payments are processed via so-called PayPal accounts, which are virtual private or business accounts. PayPal is also able to process virtual payments via credit cards if a user does not have a PayPal account. A PayPal account is managed via an e-mail address, which is why there are no traditional account numbers. PayPal makes it possible to initiate online payments to third parties or to receive payments. PayPal also accepts escrow functions and offers buyer protection services.
The European operating company of PayPal is PayPal (Europe) S.à.r.l. et Cie, S.C.A., 22-24 Boulevard Royal L-2449, Luxembourg.
If the data subject selects "PayPal" as a payment option during the ordering process in the online store, we automatically transmit the data of the data subject to PayPal. By selecting this payment option, the data subject agrees to the transmission of the personal data required for payment processing.
The personal data transmitted to PayPal is usually first name, last name, address, e-mail address, IP address, telephone number, mobile phone number or other data required for payment processing. Personal data relating to the respective order is also required to process the purchase contract.
The transmission of the data serves the purpose of payment processing and fraud prevention. The controller will transfer personal data to PayPal in particular if there is a legitimate interest in the transfer. The personal data exchanged between PayPal and the controller will be transmitted by PayPal to credit agencies. This transmission serves the purpose of identity and credit checks.
PayPal may pass on personal data to affiliated companies and service providers or subcontractors insofar as this is necessary to fulfill contractual obligations or to process data in the context of the order.
The data subject has the option to withdraw consent to the handling of personal data from PayPal at any time. A revocation has no effect on personal data that must be processed, used or transmitted in the context of (contractual) payment processing.
The applicable data protection provisions of PayPal may be retrieved under https://www.paypal.com/us/webapps/mpp/ua/privacy-full.
12. legal basis for the processing
Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing operations for 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 data subject is party, as is the case, for example, when processing operations are necessary for the supply of goods or to provide any other service, the processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures, for example in the case of inquiries about our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation that requires the processing of personal data, e.g. to fulfill tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR.
In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor to our company were injured and their name, age, health insurance details or other vital information had to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. The processing would then be based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. d GDPR. Finally, processing operations could be based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. This legal basis is used for processing operations which are not covered by any of the abovementioned legal grounds, if processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data. Such processing operations are permitted in particular because they have been expressly mentioned by the European legislator. It took the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the controller (Recital 47 Sentence 2 GDPR).
13. the legitimate interests of the controller or a third party
Insofar as the processing of personal data is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, our legitimate interest is to carry out our business activities for the benefit of all our employees and shareholders.
14. period for which the personal data will be stored
The criterion for determining the storage period of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After this period has expired, the corresponding data is routinely deleted, provided it is no longer required for the fulfillment or initiation of the contract.
15. provision of personal data as statutory or contractual requirement; requirement necessary to enter into a contract; obligation of the data subject to provide the personal data; possible consequences of failure to provide such data
We clarify that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or can also result from contractual provisions (e.g. information on the contractual partner).
Sometimes it may be necessary to conclude a contract for the data subject to provide us with personal data that must subsequently be processed by us. For example, the data subject is obliged to provide us with personal data if our company concludes a contract with them. Failure to provide the personal data would mean that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded.
Before personal data is provided by the data subject, the data subject must contact an employee. The employee clarifies to the data subject 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 the consequences of non-provision of the personal data.
16. on the existence of automated decision-making
As a responsible company, we do not use automated decision-making or profiling.
This Privacy Policy has been generated by the Privacy Policy Generator of the German Association for Data Protection that was developed in cooperation with Privacy Lawyers from WILDE BEUGER SOLMECKE, Cologne.
