Privacy Policy | ScaleHub

Introduction and Terms

The operation of our website www.scalehub.com and event.scalehub.com (in the following both also "website") involves the processing of personal data.

This data will be handled by us in a confidential manner and processed in accordance with the applicable laws, especially the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and Germany's Data Protection Act (BDSG). This Privacy Policy is designed to inform you about the personal data we collect from you, what we use it for, the legal basis for the usage and, where applicable, with whom we share it. They will also inform you of your rights in regard to the protection of your data.

Our Privacy Policy contains specialist terms used in the GDPR and BDSG. For your better understanding, we want to explain these terms in simple words:

Personal Data

"Personal data" is all information relating to an identified or identifiable person (Art. 4 Par. 1 of the GDPR). Details of an identified person could be their name or e-mail address.

However, data can also be described as personal if, despite the fact that a person's identity cannot be deduced directly from the data, their identity can nonetheless be deduced by combining the data with other information.

A person could, for example, be identified via their address or bank details, date of birth, username, IP address or location details. The key point is that any information that can be used in any way to identify a person can be described as personal data.

Processing

Under Art. 4 Par. 2 of the GDPR, "processing" describes any process applied to personal data. This especially includes the collection, capture, administration, classification, recording, amendment, printing, making available, use, disclosure, sharing, dissemination, provision, comparison, linking, restriction, erasure or destruction of personal data.

We will process the personal data listed in detail under "Processing activities in detail" below, when you use the website. In this process, we will only process data from you that you actively enter on our website (e.g. by completing forms) or that you provide automatically when using our offer.

Your data will exclusively be processed by us and these data will, as a matter of principle, not be sold, leased or provided to any third parties. Insofar as we use external service providers for the processing of your personal data, that will be done in the context of a cooperation with a so-called data processor, where we act as principal and are authorized to give instructions to our contractors.

For the operation of our website, we use external service providers for hosting, and for the maintenance, update and further development. Insofar as other external service providers will be used for individual processing activities that are listed in "Processing activities in detail", they will be specified there.

We do, in general, not transfer any data to any third countries and this is not planned for the future either. Any exemptions from this principle will be explained in the types of processing activities listed below.
