Privacy policy

We process personal data (“data”) only to the extent necessary to provide a functional and user-friendly website with its content and services.

Under Art. 4(2) of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), “processing” means any operation performed on personal data, such as collection, storage, use, disclosure or erasure.

This privacy policy informs you about the nature, scope, purpose, duration and legal basis of the processing and about third-party services we use. It is structured as follows:

• I. Controller
• II. Your rights
• III. Processing in detail

I. Controller

ADOTC GmbH
Bitterfelder Str. 12
12681 Berlin
Germany
Email: y.gloy@adotc.de

Our company is not legally required to appoint a data protection officer. For any privacy questions, please contact us at the address above.

II. Your rights

You have the right

• to access the data we process about you and to receive a copy (Art. 15 GDPR),
• to have inaccurate data corrected or incomplete data completed (Art. 16 GDPR),
• to erasure (Art. 17 GDPR) or restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR),
• to data portability (Art. 20 GDPR),
• to object to processing based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (Art. 21 GDPR), in particular to direct marketing,
• to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (Art. 77 GDPR). The authority responsible for us is the Berlin Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information.

If we have disclosed data to recipients, we inform them of any correction, erasure or restriction where possible and proportionate. On request, we will tell you who these recipients are.

III. Processing in detail

Your data is erased or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies and no statutory retention obligations prevent erasure, unless stated otherwise below.

Hosting and server logs

This website is hosted by YSG Tec GmbH, Weichselstr. 18, 10247 Berlin, on its own servers in Germany. When you visit it, your browser transmits data to the server for technical reasons, in particular your IP address, date and time, the page requested and browser details. This data is processed only to deliver the page. We do not store access logs. If a technical error occurs, an error log containing this data may be created. It is deleted automatically after 14 days, unless a security incident requires longer retention until it is resolved.

The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the security, stability and functionality of the website. We have concluded a data processing agreement with YSG Tec GmbH under Art. 28 GDPR.

Contact by email

If you contact us by email, we process your email address, your name and the content of your message in order to handle your enquiry. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if your enquiry relates to a contract or pre-contractual steps, otherwise Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in answering your enquiry.

We delete the data once your enquiry has been fully dealt with. Business correspondence is retained in line with statutory retention periods (up to six years under Section 257 of the German Commercial Code, up to ten years under Section 147 of the German Fiscal Code).

Fonts

This website uses the system fonts installed on your device. No fonts are downloaded, in particular not from third-party servers such as Google’s.

Links to LinkedIn and other websites

In the “Latest” section and on the “News” page we link to posts on our LinkedIn company page and to press articles. These are plain links. No content from LinkedIn or other providers is embedded in our website, and preview images are stored on our own server. Data is only transmitted to the respective provider when you click a link and visit its website, where that provider’s privacy policy applies.

Links to LinkedIn contain identifiers (UTM parameters) that allow LinkedIn to see that you arrived from our website. No additional data is processed on our website as a result.

LinkedIn company page

We maintain a company page on LinkedIn to present our company and services and to communicate with customers, prospects and partners. The provider is LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Plaza, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in presenting our company and communicating with you.

When you visit our company page, LinkedIn creates anonymised usage statistics (Page Insights) that we can view. We are jointly responsible with LinkedIn for this processing (Art. 26 GDPR). The details are set out in LinkedIn’s joint controller addendum: legal.linkedin.com/pages-joint-controller-addendum. Under this agreement, LinkedIn is primarily responsible for handling your rights. You may also contact us with requests, and we will forward them to LinkedIn where necessary.

Data may be processed by LinkedIn Corporation in the USA. LinkedIn Corporation is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, for which the European Commission has adopted an adequacy decision. For more information, see LinkedIn’s privacy policy: linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy. You can adjust your advertising and privacy settings in your LinkedIn account.
