2. Data Collection & Storage

Unless a more specific storage period is stated below, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for processing the data no longer applies.

If you assert a legitimate request for deletion or revoke your consent to 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, the data will be deleted after these reasons no longer apply.

2.1. Visiting the Website

 When you visit our website, the browser used on your device automatically sends information to the server of our website. This information is temporarily stored in an access log file.

The following information is collected without your intervention and stored until automated deletion after a maximum of 14 days:

The data will be processed by us for the following purposes:

The legal basis for the data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest follows from the purposes for data collection listed above. In no case do we use the collected data for the purpose of drawing conclusions about your person. We do not merge the data with other data.

2.2. Contacting QuantityWare

If you contact us by e-mail, phone or fax, your request including all data (name, inquiry) for the purpose of processing your request is stored and processed by us.

There are a number of methods of contacting us via the QuantityWare website. These are listed below along with details of the data you provide us, and how we use this:

“Contact Us” Form

Training Request Form

Training Registration Form

This information is not passed on to third parties in any of the above methods.

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 requests addressed to us (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR) if this has been requested; the consent can be revoked at any time.

The data you send to us via the methods above 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.

2.3. Automated Decision-making

We do not use any personal data collected from you for any automated decision-making process (including profiling).

3. Cookies / Tracking

3.1. Cookies

In general, the following applies to cookies: You can set your browser so that, among other things, you are informed about the setting of cookies and decide individually about their acceptance or exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general. Each browser differs in the way it manages cookie settings. This is described in the help menu of each browser, which explains how you can change your cookie settings. You can also find such information and instructions for the respective browsers, for example, under the following links or if you enter the terms “cookie settings + browser” in an Internet search engine of your choice:

We do not use any cookies requiring consent (with or without an analysis function) or any other third-party analysis services on visitors to our website (https://www.quantityware.com). If you have any comments or feedback about our website, please feel free to send them to us via our contact form.

The only cookie set on our website is used to prevent re-showing our cookie banner:

Name Purpose Duration Purpose
cookie_notice_accepted Functional 30 Days To acknowledge that the cookie notice has been accepted, preventing it from appearing to the user on subsequent page loads.
vimeo_videos_accepted Functional 30 Days To acknowledge that the Vimeo privacy notice has been accepted on one of the embedded Vimeo videos, allowing embedded Vimeo videos to load on pages without having to click “Allow” on each page visit.

3.2. Wordfence

 We use Wordfence as a plugin for the WordPress content management system. The provider is Defiant, Inc, 800 5th Ave Ste. 4100, Seattle WA 98104, USA (hereinafter “Wordfence”). We have concluded an order processing agreement (AVV) for the use of this service. The data transfer to the USA is based on the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission (https://www.wordfence.com/standard-contractual-clauses/).

We can use Wordfence to protect our website from unauthorized access and attacks. This involves the use of an endpoint firewall and a malware scanner, among other things. For this purpose, our website establishes a permanent connection to Wordfence’s servers so that Wordfence can compare its databases with the accesses made to our website and block them if necessary.

The use of Wordfence is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. We have a legitimate interest in protecting our website from cyberattacks as effectively as possible.

Insofar as a corresponding consent has been requested, the processing is carried out exclusively on basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR, insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies. The consent can be revoked at any time with effect for the future. In the case of companies based in the USA, the following should be noted. If these tools are active, your personal data (IP address) may be transferred to these third countries and processed there. We would like to point out that no level of data protection comparable to the EU can be guaranteed in these countries.

For example, U.S. companies are obliged to hand over personal data to security authorities without you as the data subject being able to take legal action against this. It can therefore not be ruled out that US authorities (e.g. intelligence services) process, evaluate and permanently store your data located on US servers for monitoring purposes. We have no influence on these processing activities.

You can find more details here:

Wordfence does not set any cookies on visitors to our website.

4. Data Recipients

We engage the services of data processors, who are responsible the technical implementation of our website, which help us to host, maintain and service the website to ensure the security of the website. Our data processors are based in the EU, predominantly in Germany, unless specifically mentioned above. We cannot rule out the possibility that the processors we select may have access to data collected via the website.

A transfer of your personal data to third parties does not take place, unless:

5. Data Subject Rights

6. Right to Object

If your personal data is processed on the basis of legitimate interest (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR), you have the right under Art. 21 GDPR to object to the processing of your personal data, provided that there are grounds for doing so that arise from your particular situation or the objection is directed against direct marketing.

In the latter case, you have a general right of objection, which will be observed by us without specifying a particular situation or reasons.

If you wish to exercise your right to object, simply send an e-mail to: datenschutz@quantityware.com
