7. Newsletter

7.1. Description and scope of data processing

You can subscribe to a free newsletter on our website. When registering for the newsletter, the data from the contact form is transmitted to us. The newsletter is sent out on the basis of the user’s registration on the website.

In addition to the data already mentioned above, we collect   e-mail address.

Your consent is obtained for subscribing to the newsletter and the necessary processing of the data.

7.2. Purpose of data processing

The user’s registration on the website entails the collection of the user’s e-mail address which enables us to send out the newsletter.

The collection of other personal data as part of the registration process serves to prevent misuse of the services or the e-mail address used.

7.3. Duration of storage

The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer necessary to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. The user’s e-mail address will therefore be stored continuously as long as the subscription to the newsletter is active and in the case of opt-out, to store the explicit unsubscribe. SEEBURGER uses an external email validation service to ensure that email addresses can still be reached and that emails can still be delivered. If email addresses are no longer reachable, they are deleted from the corresponding repositories at SEEBURGER.

7.4. Right of information, objection and revocation

The subscription to the newsletter can be cancelled by the user concerned at any time; this is so called opt-out. For this purpose, there is a corresponding link in every newsletter.

This also makes it possible to revoke the consent to the storage of personal data collected during the registration process except the e-mail address.

8.     Personal Data Security and Protection

The Personal Data security is our priority that we never compromise.

Personal Data should be protected by appropriate technical and organizational measures against unauthorized or unlawful processing and against accidental or unlawful loss, destruction, alteration, disclosure or damage.

Seeburger Informatik EOOD has implemented reasonable and appropriate security measures against unlawful or unauthorized Personal Data processing and against accidental loss or damage of Personal Data.  

Seeburger Informatik EOOD has implemented an Information Security Management System (ISMS) in accordance with the international standard ISO/IEC 27001:2013. The compliance with the requirements of this standard is audited and certified annually. The safeguards that are built in the company during the implementation of ISMS ensure the provision and maintenance of a very high level of data security, as well as confidentiality, availability and integrity of the information, including the Personal Data.

9.  Data Subject’s Rights and Requests

All Data Subjects located in the EU have certain rights with regard to the processing of their Personal Data.

The GDPR provides individuals with the following rights:

  • to demand information on whether we store their personal data, and if so, what data we collected, what are our legal grounds for processing them and for what purpose we process and store their data;
  • to request access to their Personal Data (the so-called `Data Subject access request`). This allows them to obtain a copy of the Personal Data and to check whether we are processing them in the manner prescribed by law;
  • to request the rectification of incomplete or inaccurate their Personal Data held by us;
  • to request the erasure of their Personal Data (the so-called `right to be forgotten`), i.e. to delete or remove without undue delay all or part of their Personal Data, if the Personal Data are no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed. The Company does not erase the data where the processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation, including for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims;
  • to object to the processing of their Personal Data if we invoke a our legitimate interest (or the interests of a third party) or where the Personal Data are processed for direct marketing purposes;
  • to request the erasure or removal of their Personal Data if they have exercised their right to object to the processing in accordance with the preceding letter (e);
  • to object to any decision-making based solely on automated processing, if any, including profiling, i.e. not to be subject to any automated decision-making by us through their Personal Data or profiling;
  • to request a restriction of the processing of their Personal Data, i.e. to suspend their processing if, for example, the Data Subject wishes to verify their accuracy or the purposes of their processing;
  • to receive their Personal Data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format (the so-called `right to data portability`). This allows them to take their data from the Company and to transmit those data to another controller;
  • to withdraw their Consent. The Consent may be withdrawn for all or part of the Personal data, as well as for all or specific purposes of processing. Where the Data Subject has given his / her Consent for the collection, processing and storage of his / her Personal data for a specific purpose, he /her has the right to withdraw it at any time in respect of that particular type of processing. Once we have been notified of the withdrawal of Consent, we will suspend their processing for the purpose or purposes for which the consent was granted, unless there is another legal basis for continuing to process them;
  • to be notified in the case of a Personal Data Breach, which may result in a high risk to their rights and freedoms. After having become aware of a Personal Data Breach, the Company will inform the individuals without undue delay and in an appropriate manner, as well as the measures that have been taken or the measures that will be taken.

“Seeburger – Informatik” EOOD ensures conditions that guarantee the exercise of the Data Subject Rights.

Seeburger – Informatik EOOD may request specific information from the Data Subject in order to verify his / her identity and to satisfy his / her right to access information or any of his / her other rights. The purpose of this additional security measure is to ensure that the Data Subject’s Personal Data shall not be disclosed to persons who are not entitled to receive them.

The exercise of the above rights is free of charge. However, we may ask a reasonable amount of administrative fee if the access request is manifestly unfounded or if the requests are repeated or excessive. In this cases, it is also possible to refuse the execution of the request.
