With the following information, we would like to give you, as a "data subject", an overview of the processing of your data by us and your rights under the data protection laws.
The processing of personal data, such as your user name or e-mail address (for more information, please refer to this data protection declaration), is always in line with the Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to "seventhings GmbH". Using this data protection declaration, we would like to inform you about the scope and purpose of the personal data we collect, use, and process.
As the controller, we have implemented numerous technical and organisational measures to ensure the complete protection of the personal data processed via this website. Nevertheless, Internet-based data transmissions can always have security gaps, so absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, you are also free to transmit personal data to us by alternative means, for example, by telephone or by post.
You, too, can take simple and easy-to-implement measures to protect yourself against unauthorised access to your data by third parties. Therefore, we would like to give you some tips on how to handle your data securely:
Passwords should have at least 12 characters and be chosen so they cannot be easily guessed. Therefore, they should not contain common words from everyday life, your name, or names of relatives, but upper and lower case letters, numbers, and special characters.
The responsible person within the meaning of the GDPR is:

The data protection declaration is based on the terms used by the European Directive and Ordinance Maker when enacting the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our data protection declaration should be easy to read and understand for the public, customers, and business partners. We want to explain the terms used in advance to ensure this.
We use the following terms, among others, in this privacy policy:
Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. An identifiable natural person 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.
The data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the controller (our company).
Processing is any operation or set of operations which is performed upon personal data, whether or not by automatic means, such as collection, recording, organisation, filing, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure, or destruction.
Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data to limit their future processing.
Profiling is any form of automated processing of personal data which consists in using such personal data to evaluate certain unique aspects relating to a natural person, in particular, to analyse or predict characteristics concerning that natural person's performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, location, or change of location.
Pseudonymisation is the processing of personal data in such a way 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 organisational measures which ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.
Processor means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.
A recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body to whom personal data are disclosed, whether or not a third party. However, public authorities that may receive personal data in the context of a specific investigative task under Union or Member State law shall not be considered recipients.
Third-party means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body other than the data subject, the controller, the processor, and the persons authorised to process the personal data under the direct responsibility of the controller or the processor.
Consent means any freely given and informed indication of the data subject's wishes in the form of a declaration or other unambiguous, affirmative act by which the data subject signifies their agreement to the processing of personal data relating to them.
Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR (in conjunction with § 25 para. 1 TTDSG) serves our company as the legal basis for processing operations in which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose.
Suppose the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party, as is the case, for example, with processing operations necessary for the delivery of goods or the provision of another service or consideration. In that case, the processing is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR. The same applies to processing operations necessary for implementing pre-contractual measures, for example, in enquiries about our products or services.
Suppose our company is subject to a legal obligation by which the processing of personal data becomes necessary, such as for the fulfilment of tax obligations. In that case, the processing is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. c GDPR.
In rare cases, the processing of personal data might be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. For example, this would be the case if a visitor were injured on our premises. As a result, their name, age, health insurance details or other vital information had to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. In this case, the processing would be based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. d GDPR.
Ultimately, processing operations could be based on Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. Processing operations which are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases are based on this legal basis if the processing is necessary for the protection of a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject are not overridden. Such processing operations are permitted to us because the European legislator specifically mentioned them. In this respect, it took the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed if you are a customer of our company (recital 47 sentence 2 of the GDPR).
Our offer is aimed at adults. Persons under 16 years of age may not transmit any personal data to us without the consent of their parents or legal guardians. We do not request personal data from children and young people, do not collect it, or pass it on to third parties.
Your data will not be transferred to third parties for purposes other than those listed below. We will only share your data with third parties if:
To protect your data and to enable us to transfer data to third countries (outside the EU/EEA) if necessary, we have concluded commissioned processing agreements based on the standard contractual clauses of the European Commission. Suppose the standard contractual clauses need to be revised to establish an adequate level of security. In that case, your consent under Article 49 (1) a) of the GDPR may serve as the legal basis for the transfer to third countries. This may not apply to data transfers to third countries for which the European Commission has issued an adequacy decision under Article 45 of the GDPR.
This site uses SSL or TLS encryption to ensure data processing security and protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders, login data, or contact enquiries you send to us as the operator. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that there is an "https://" instead of an "http://" in the browser's address line and by the lock symbol in your browser line.
We use this technology to protect your transmitted data.
When you use our website for information purposes only, i.e. if you do not register or otherwise transmit information to us, we only collect data that your browser sends to our server (in so-called "server log files"). Our website contains general data and information whenever you or an automated system access a page. This available data and information is stored in the server log files. The following can be recorded:
We do not draw any conclusions about your person when using this general data and information. Instead, this information is required to:
Therefore, the data and information collected will be evaluated by us, on the one hand, statistically and, on the other hand, to increase the data protection and data security of our enterprise to ultimately 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 data subject.
The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest follows from the data collection purposes listed above.
When you visit our site, cookies are automatically created by your browser and stored on your IT system (laptop, tablet, smartphone or similar).
Information is stored in the cookie that results in each case from the context of the specific end device used. However, we still need to gain direct knowledge of your identity.
The use of cookies serves to make the use of our offer more pleasant for you. We use so-called session cookies to recognise that you have already visited individual pages of our website. These are automatically deleted after you leave our site.
In addition, we also use temporary cookies to optimise user-friendliness, which are stored on your end device for a certain fixed period. If you revisit our site to use our services, it is automatically recognised that you have already been with us and which entries and settings you have made so that you do not have to enter them again.
On the other hand, we use cookies to record the use of our website statistically and to evaluate our offer for you for optimisation. These cookies enable us to automatically recognise that you have visited our website when you revisit it. The cookies set in this way are automatically deleted after a defined period. The respective storage period of the cookies can be found in the settings of the consent tool used.
You can register on our website by submitting a form for test access or by concluding a contract to use a complete software licence by providing personal data.
The following information is transmitted daily in encrypted form to the Open Telecom Cloud and Hubspot. This data is only accessible to a limited group of users (see TOM).
By registering on our website, the IP address assigned by your internet service provider (ISP), the date, and the time of registration are also stored. This data is kept because it is the only way to prevent misuse of our services and, if necessary, to enable the investigation of criminal offences. In this respect, storing this data is essential for our protection. As a matter of principle, this data is not passed on to third parties. This does not apply if we are legally obliged to pass on the data or if the data is passed on for criminal prosecution.
Your registration, with voluntary provision of personal data, also serves us to offer you content or services which, due to the nature of the matter, can 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 our database.
Upon request, we will provide you at any time with information about which personal data is stored about you. Furthermore, we will correct or delete personal data at your request, as this does not conflict with statutory retention obligations. A data protection officer named in this data protection declaration and all other employees are available to the data subject as contact persons.
Your data is processed in the interest of a comfortable and easy use of our software. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.
Your registration for the "Circularity Hub" module, under the voluntary provision of personal data, serves us to offer you content or services which, due to the matter, can 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 our database.
The following data is stored when registration for the "Circularity Hub" module is active:
No further data transmission will occur or only if you have expressly consented to the information. Your data will not be passed on to third parties without your express consent, for example, for advertising purposes.
The basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the fulfilment of a contract or pre-contractual measures.
We have integrated the Matomo component of the provider InnoCraft Ltd, 150 Willis St, 6011 Wellington, New Zealand, on this website. We have installed the Matomo software on our server instance in the EU and do not transfer any data to the USA. These processing operations only occur when explicit consent is given under Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR.
Matomo is a software tool for web analysis, i.e., collecting, collating, and evaluating data on the behaviour of visitors to websites. Among other things, data is collected on which website a data subject came to a website from (so-called referrer), which subpages were accessed, and how often and for how long a subpage was viewed. This is used to optimise the website. The software is operated on the server of the data controller, and the log files, which are sensitive in terms of data protection law, are stored exclusively on this server.
Matomo sets a cookie on your IT system. Setting the cookie enables us to analyse the use of our website. Each time one of the individual pages of this website is called up, the Internet browser on your IT system is automatically prompted by the Matomo component to transmit data to our server for online analysis. As part of this technical procedure, we obtain knowledge of personal data, such as the IP address of the person concerned, which we use, among other things, to trace the origin of visitors and clicks. Personal information, such as the time of access, the place from which access originated, and the frequency of visits to our website, are stored using the cookie. Each time you visit our website, this personal data, including the IP address of your internet connection, is transmitted to our server. We store this personal data. We do not pass on this personal data to third parties.
We use the Sentry service (Sentry, 1501 Mariposa St #408, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA) to improve the technical stability of our service by monitoring system stability and identifying code errors. These processing operations are only carried out when explicit consent is given under Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR.
Data may be transferred to third countries within the scope of processing via Sentry. The security of the transfer is regularly ensured via so-called standard contractual clauses, which guarantee that the processing of personal data is subject to a level of protection corresponding to that of the GDPR. We have concluded a valid contract with Sentry for this purpose: https://sentry.io/legal/dpa/.
Sentry serves these purposes alone and does not evaluate data for advertising purposes. User data, such as details of the device or the time of the error, are collected anonymously, not used in a personalised manner, and subsequently deleted. Further information on this can be found in Sentry's privacy policy: https://sentry.io/privacy/.
You have the right to request confirmation from us on whether personal data relating to you is being processed.
You have the right to receive information from us at any time and free of charge about the personal data stored about you and a copy of this data by the statutory provisions.
You have the right to request the rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning you. You also have the right to request that incomplete personal data be completed, taking into account the purposes of the processing.
You have the right to demand that we delete the personal data relating to you without delay, provided that one of the reasons provided for by law applies and insofar as the processing or storage is unnecessary.
You have the right to demand that we restrict processing if one of the legal requirements is met.
You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you, which you provided us, in a structured, common and machine-readable format. You also have the right to transfer this data to another controller without hindrance from us, provided that the processing is based on consent or a contract and is carried out with automated procedures.
You have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning you based on Art. 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR.
We process and store your data only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage or if this has been provided for by the legal provisions to which our company is subject. If the purpose of storage no longer applies or a prescribed storage period expires, the statutory provisions will routinely block or delete personal data.
The criterion for the duration of the storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After the expiry of the period, the corresponding data is routinely deleted if it is no longer required for the fulfilment or initiation of the contract.
This privacy policy is currently valid and has the status: September 2024.
Due to the further development of our Internet pages and offers or changed legal or official requirements, it may become necessary to change this data protection declaration. You can access and print out the current data protection declaration any time on the website under "Privacy Policy".
This privacy policy was created with the support of the data protection software: audits MANAGER.
