40IP Privacy Policy

The 40IP App is provided to you by TRIZ Consulting Group GmbH (hereinafter also referred to as “TRIZ Consulting Group”, “we”, “us”, “our/s”).

This privacy policy describes what information we collect when you install and use the 40IP App or how we process and protect it in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Responsible entity

The responsible party in the sense of the data protection regulations is:

TRIZ Consulting Group GmbH
Großalbershof 13
92237 Sulzbach-Rosenberg

Phone: +49 170 3588422
E-mail: support@triz-consulting.de

The responsible party is the natural or legal person who alone or jointly with others determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data (e.g. names, e-mail addresses or similar).

Legal basis for the processing of personal data.

The legal basis is derived from Art. 6 GDPR.

If we have obtained consent from the data subject to process personal data concerning him or her for one or more specific purposes, Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR serves as the basis for data processing.

Insofar as processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures taken at the data subject’s request, Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR serves as the basis for data processing.

If processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which we are subject, Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR serves as the basis for data processing.

If the processing is necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person, Art. 6 (1) (d) GDPR serves as the basis for the data processing.

If the processing is necessary to protect our legitimate interests or the interests of a third party and the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require the protection of personal data do not override these interests, Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR serves as the basis for the data processing.

Storage period and data deletion

Unless a more specific storage period has been specified within this data protection declaration, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for the data processing no longer applies. If you assert a legitimate request for deletion or revoke consent for data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g. retention periods under tax or commercial law); in the latter case, deletion will take place after these reasons cease to apply.

Data collection

How do we collect your data?

On the one hand, your data is collected by you providing it to us. This may, for example, be data that you send us by e-mail.

Other data is collected automatically or after your consent when you install or use the app. This is mainly technical data (e.g. type and model of the end device, operating system or display size).

What do we use your data for?

Some of the data is collected to ensure error-free operation of the app. Other data may be used to analyze your usage behavior. This allows us, for example, to make certain processes more convenient or to optimize the app for devices that are used particularly frequently.

What data is collected and processed and/or stored when using the 40IP app?

Inquiry by e-mail or telephone

If you contact us by e-mail or telephone, your inquiry including all personal data resulting from it (name, inquiry) will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of processing your request. We do not pass on this data without your consent.

The processing of this data is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR, if your request is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of the requests sent to us (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR) if this has been requested.

The data you send to us via contact requests will remain with us until you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to store it, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions – in particular legal retention periods – remain unaffected.
Third party services

If you use third-party services, they may receive data that you share with them. An example of this is the installation of the app from the Google Play Store or the Apple App Store. In doing so, the providers of the respective platforms may collect and process data relating to you. Another example is when you click on a link in the app that takes you to an external website. In this case, the operator of the website may be provided with data such as your IP address and technical information that shows that the request originates from the 40IP app.

Please note that when you use third-party services, their own terms and privacy policies apply.
Third Party Service Providers.

We work with third-party service providers to help us provide our services. To ensure data protection-compliant processing, we have concluded commissioned processing agreements with these service providers.

We work with the following third-party service providers:

Data subject rights

You have the right at any time to receive information free of charge about the origin, recipient and purpose of your stored personal data. You also have a right to request that this data be corrected or deleted. If you have given your consent to data processing, you can revoke this consent at any time for the future. You also have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data under certain circumstances. Furthermore, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority.

For this purpose, as well as for further questions on the subject of data protection, you can contact us at any time at the address given in the section Responsible entity.

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke consent you have already given at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

IF DATA PROCESSING IS CARRIED OUT ON THE BASIS OF ART. 6 ABS. 1 LIT. E OR F GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA AT ANY TIME FOR REASONS ARISING FROM YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. THE RESPECTIVE LEGAL BASIS ON WHICH PROCESSING IS BASED CAN BE FOUND IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA CONCERNED UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING WHICH OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS, OR THE PROCESSING IS FOR THE PURPOSE OF ASSERTING, EXERCISING OR DEFENDING LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION UNDER ARTICLE 21(1) GDPR).

IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA ARE PROCESSED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT MARKETING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA CONCERNING YOU FOR THE PURPOSE OF SUCH MARKETING; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING INSOFAR AS IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL SUBSEQUENTLY NO LONGER BE USED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT MARKETING (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ARTICLE 21 (2) GDPR).

Right of appeal to the competent supervisory authority.

In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects shall have a right of appeal to a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, their place of work or the place of the alleged violation. The right of appeal is without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy.

Right to data portability

You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in performance of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done insofar as it is technically feasible.

Information, deletion and correction

Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipient and the purpose of data processing and, if applicable, a right to correction or deletion of this data. For this purpose, as well as for further questions on the subject of data protection, you can contact us at any time at the address given in the section Responsible entity.

Right to restriction of processing

You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. To do this, you can contact us at any time at the address given in the section Responsible entity. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:

If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we usually need time to verify this. For the duration of the review, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If the processing of your personal data happened/is happening unlawfully, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it to exercise, defend or assert legal claims, you have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of erasure.
If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR, a balancing of your interests and ours must be carried out. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data may – apart from being stored – only be processed with your consent or for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of an important public interest of the European Union or a member state.

In the case of initial contact, we are obliged to provide you with the following mandatory information under data protection law in accordance with Articles 12, 13 GDPR: If you contact us by e-mail, we will only process your personal data if there is a legitimate interest in the processing (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR), you have consented to the data processing (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR), the processing is necessary for the initiation, establishment, content or amendment of a legal relationship between you and us (Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR) or another legal norm permits the processing. Your personal data will remain with us until you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to store it, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g., after we have completed processing your request). Mandatory legal provisions – in particular retention periods under tax and commercial law – remain unaffected. You have the right at any time to receive information free of charge about the origin, recipient and purpose of your stored personal data. You also have the right to object, to data portability and the right to complain to the competent supervisory authority. Furthermore, you can request the correction, deletion and, under certain circumstances, the restriction of the processing of your personal data. For details, please refer to the privacy policy above.
