The legal basis for this data processing described above is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. Our interest in the sense of art. 6 par. 1 lit. f) is the operation of this website and the implementation of the protection goals of confidentiality, integrity and availability of data.

Contact form
We offer a contact form on our website where you can request information about our services or contact us in general. In addition to the voluntary information and your message content, we ask you to provide the following information as required:
-Name
-E-mail address
-Company
-Phone number
We need this information to process your request, to contact you correctly and to send you an answer. Requests received via the contact form on our website are usually stored in our CRM system. The CRM system is regularly checked to see whether data can be deleted. Should data no longer be required in the context of a customer or prospective customer relationship or should the customer's interests to the contrary prevail, we will delete the data concerned, provided that this does not conflict with statutory retention obligations.

Voluntary information
If you voluntarily provide us with data, e.g. in forms, and these are not required for the fulfilment of contractual obligations, we process these data on the basis that we assume that the processing and use of these data is in your interest.

Newsletter
So that we can inform you about current news and information by e-mail, telephone and mail, we store your e-mail address and other voluntarily provided data when you register until further notice, for example for the specific selection of topics that are relevant to you. For security reasons, your IP address and the time of registration or confirmation will also be saved. Once you have entered and sent your registration details, we will send you an email to confirm and activate your free subscription by clicking ("Double Opt-In"). Only after confirmation you will receive our newsletter.
The stored data will be used by us exclusively for the stated purposes and will not be passed on to third parties.
You can unsubscribe at any time. You will find a link to unsubscribe in each e-mail.

Statistical evaluations of usage data are possible via the newsletter. For this we record both the opening of the e-mail and the internal clicks. This information is used to make the content of the newsletter more relevant and to measure the success of marketing campaigns. This information is not passed on to third parties. You can change the tracking setting at the end of each e-mail.

Cookies
Cookies are used on our Internet pages. Cookies are small text files that are stored in your device via your browser. Cookies are required to enable certain functions of our Internet pages and to increase user-friendliness. We use session cookies that are automatically deleted from your browser immediately after your visit to the Internet pages has ended. In the area of web analysis, however, we also use persistent cookies.
You have the option of preventing the setting of cookies by making the appropriate settings in your browser. However, we would like to point out that the use of our Internet pages may then only be possible to a limited extent. Cookies do not install or start any programs or other applications on your computer.

Measurements of reach & analysis
Due to our legitimate interests, this website uses the "Google Analytics" service which is provided by Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA) for the optimisation and analysis of our online offer within the meaning of Art. 6 Para. 1 letter f) GDPR. The service (Google Analytics) uses "cookies" - text files which are stored on your device. The information collected by the cookies is usually sent to a Google server in the USA and stored there.
Google LLC complies with European data protection law and is certified under the Privacy Shield Agreement: https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active
IP anonymisation is used on this website. The IP address of users will be reduced within the member states of the EU and the European Economic Area and in the other signatory states to the agreement. Only in individual cases is the IP address initially transmitted in full to a Google server in the USA and reduced there. This reduction eliminates the personal reference to your IP address. The user's IP address transmitted by the browser is not combined with other data stored by Google.
As part of the contract processing agreement we have concluded with Google Inc. as website operator, Google uses the information collected to evaluate website usage and activity and to provide services related to internet usage.
The data collected by Google on our behalf is used to evaluate the use of our online offer by individual users, e.g. to create reports on the activity on the website in order to improve our online offer.
You have the option - as described above under "Cookies" - of preventing the storage of cookies on your device.
Furthermore, you can use a browser plug-in to prevent the information collected by cookies (including your IP address) from being sent to Google Inc. and used by Google Inc. The following link leads you to the corresponding plugin: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en

Purposes of processing personal data
We process the aforementioned data for the operation of our website and for the fulfilment of contractual obligations towards our customers.
For inquiries from you outside of an active customer relationship, we process the data for sales and advertising purposes. You can object to the use of your personal data for advertising purposes at any time.

Recipient of data
Personal data that you provide to us will not be passed on to third parties. In particular, your data will not be passed on to third parties for their advertising purposes.
However, we may use service providers for the operation of these Internet pages or for other products from us. Here it can happen that a service provider receives knowledge of personal data. We carefully select our service providers - especially with regard to data protection and data security - and take all measures required under data protection law for permissible data processing.

Use of the newsletter distribution provider "Mailchimp"
We use the provider Mailchimp for sending our newsletters. As this provider offers its services via servers in the USA, the strictest legal requirements must be met in order to ensure an appropriate level of data protection. In the case of Mailchimp the transmission is legally possible, since the provider of the service, the Rocket Science Group LLC, is certified according to the specifications of the Privacy Shield https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt0000000TO6hAAG). The legal basis for the transmission by us to Mailchimp is Art. 6 Para. 1 letter f) GDPR, a weighing of interests. Our interest in the transmission lies in choosing a technically outstanding provider that offers a high level of protection and at the same time offers us a good overview of the scope and effect of our newsletters; all evaluations are always group-related and therefore not person-related.
After subscribing to our newsletter mailing list, your e-mail will be saved at Mailchimp. This will be done temporarily until you have confirmed your subscription in an activation e-mail. If the e-mail address has been confirmed, it will be saved permanently at Mailchimp. The data will be stored until the e-mail address is deleted by the owner of the e-mail address or by us as the list operator. The IP address and time stamp are stored as proof of your consent to receive the newsletter. In addition, the following data is stored in MailChimp: Date of last profile update, geolocalization & time zone, language information, groups & segments.

Your personal rights
You have the right to information about your personal data. You can contact us directly at any time for information.
In the case of a request for information that is not made in writing, we ask for your understanding that we may then require proof from you that you are the person you claim to be.
You have the right to correct, delete or limit the processing.
Furthermore, you have a right of objection against the processing within the framework of legal requirements. The same applies to a right to data transferability. Feel free to contact us by e-mail at tbs@tbs-biometrics.com.
If we process your personal data on the basis of a consent, you have a right of revocation with regard to the consent at any time without affecting the legality of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until revocation.
Finally, you have the right to complain to a data protection supervisory authority about our processing of personal data.
