Manda-automation.com is referred to below as the “website.” This privacy policy does not apply to other Manda-automation.com websites or web services that have their own privacy policy.

+ For what purposes and on what legal basis does the website process your personal data?

Depending on the applicable law, there must be a reason for processing personal data, sometimes referred to as a “legal basis.” The purpose of the processing and the legal basis for it are explained in more detail below.

Compliance with legal obligations by the website

The website processes your personal data to ensure an appropriate level of technical and organizational security for the website's products, services, and online events. To this end, the website takes the necessary measures to verify or maintain the quality and safety of a product or service that is owned or controlled by the website or that is manufactured by or for the website.

This may include the use of personal data for the adequate identification and authorization of designated users, for internal quality control through audits, analyses, and research, for debugging to detect and eliminate errors that affect existing or intended functions, for account and network security, for replication to prevent data loss, detecting security incidents, protecting against malicious, deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activities, and pursuing those responsible. Your name, image, and other contact or compliance-related data may be further processed by the website as part of access management to ensure the security of the website. The website may process personal data to create anonymized data sets that can then be used to secure and protect website systems, including data, equipment, facilities, and networks.

The website processes personal data (first name, last name, country, IP address) to the extent necessary to comply with sanctions and embargo requirements under the laws of the European Economic Area (“EEA”) to which the website is subject, as well as to comply with EEA extraterritorial laws and regulations (based on the legitimate interest of the website).

If necessary, the website uses personal data to prevent or prosecute criminal offenses, such as any form of cybercrime, the illegal use of our products and services, or fraud, in order to assert or defend our legal claims.

To comply with regulations under data protection laws and laws against unfair competition. Depending on the country in which the respective member of the website operates and whether you have either expressly agreed or objected to receiving business information, the website may process personal data necessary for your privacy decisions regarding the receipt of such information and share this information with other members of the website if necessary to comply with legal requirements.

In ensuring compliance, the website processes your personal data if and to the extent necessary to comply with the legal requirements of the European Union or the EU member state whose laws the website is subject to, as well as to comply with EU extraterritorial laws and regulations (legitimate interest in complying with extraterritorial laws and regulations).

Operation of web services by the website

The website processes personal data for the purpose of operating, providing, and managing your use of the website's Internet pages, web offerings, or other online events. The purposes include, among others, the following:

-Provision of web services and functions, creation and management of your online account,

-Updating and protecting the service and troubleshooting service issues, providing support, improving and developing the web service, and/or responding to and fulfilling your requests or instructions.

-Processing information related to your access to our web offerings in order to improve your user experience, identify your individual requirements, and provide you with personalized information. For this purpose, we collect information regardless of whether you register with a user profile.

-Sharing basic participant data (your name, company, and email address) with other participants in the same event, seminar, or webinar to promote interaction between participants and the exchange of information and ideas.

-Administering and ensuring the security of our web services and preventing and detecting security threats, fraud, or other criminal or harmful activities, as well as—to the extent reasonably necessary—enforcing the terms of use for the web services, asserting, protecting, or defending legal claims, and preventing fraud or other illegal activities, including attacks on our IT systems.

-Registering and creating a user profile for the use of certain web offerings linked to the websites, including forums, blogs, and networks (e.g., the community on the website). User profiles are used to personalize interactions between users (e.g., via messaging) and to enable the website to promote collaboration and the quality of communication through such offerings. The user profile allows you to display personal information about yourself to other users, including your name, photo, social network accounts, postal or email address, phone number, personal interests, skills, and basic information about your company.

-Creating a user profile that may relate to a specific web offering of the website or allow you to access other web offerings of the website or other members of the website. You can decide whether you want to use these additional web offerings. If you use these offerings, the website will provide your personal data to this other web offering in order to allow you initial access to the offering.

Please note that without your consent to the creation of such user profiles, the website is unable to offer you services for which your consent is a legal requirement.

When operating the website's web services, the website processes your personal data if

-the website has obtained your consent to process your personal data for this purpose, where required by law,

-this is necessary to fulfill (pre)contractual obligations towards you,

-this is necessary to comply with the legal requirements applicable to the website,

-and, where necessary, to pursue the legitimate interest of the website in the efficient execution or administration of the web services and business operations of the website and to assert or defend legal claims.

We believe that the website's interest in pursuing these business purposes is legitimate and does not outweigh your personal rights and interests in refraining from processing for these purposes. In each of these cases, we take the following into account in our considerations: the business purpose that the website reasonably pursues in the given case, the categories, scope, and confidentiality of the personal data that is necessarily processed, the level of protection for your personal data ensured by our general data protection policies, guidelines, and processes, and the rights you have in relation to the processing activities.

Pursuing business relationships through the website

The website processes personal data in order to maintain business relationships with customers, partners, and other users and to fulfill its obligations arising from pre-contractual and contractual business relationships. This may include responding to inquiries, processing orders, providing an ordered product or service, or performing other relevant actions to establish and maintain our business relationships and fulfill the associated obligations. This includes, among other things:

products and services: This may include on-premise and cloud software products, web services, applications, online forums, webinars and events, non-marketing-related newsletters, white papers, learning programs, training courses, and other offers such as competitions or sweepstakes on the website. If you purchase or intend to purchase products or services from the website on behalf of a corporate customer, or otherwise act as a contact person for the business relationship between the website and a corporate customer or partner (“client contact person”), the website will use your personal data for this purpose. In particular, the website may use your personal data to confirm your account opening, manage contract fulfillment, and send you legally required notices, payment notifications, and other information about our products and services. The website may respond to inquiries in this regard, provide you with the necessary support, and process your feedback. In connection with your or your employer's use of our products or services, the website may communicate with you by mail, email, live chat, contact form, telephone, or other means to respond to questions or handle complaints from you, a user, or a customer, or to investigate suspicious activity.

-Development of products and services: As part of a business relationship between you or your employer and the website, the website may process your personal data for internal research purposes, to demonstrate and develop technologies, and to assist the website in designing, developing, operating, providing, improving, updating, or expanding website products and services. The website may process personal data to create anonymized data sets that can then be used to improve the website's products and services.

-Customer satisfaction: As part of an existing business relationship between you or your employer and the website, the website processes your personal data to determine your satisfaction with the features and quality of our products and services and to provide you with relevant information about our current product announcements, software updates or upgrades, events, special offers, and other information about the website's software and services that is relevant and useful to you.

-Providing current information: As part of a business relationship between you or your employer and the website, the website processes your personal data to inform you about events, products, or services offered by the website that are similar to or related to products and services already purchased or used by you or your employer.

However, if you do provide personal data, the website will use it for the purposes stated in the survey or to improve products and services.

-Contacting you: In order to establish new business relationships between the website and you or your employer, the website processes your personal data to inform you about website events, products, or services that are relevant to your role or function in your company. We may also contact you to further determine your interest in the website's products or services. The website will contact you by mail, email, telephone, or other electronic means if you have consented to such use or if the website has obtained your personal data from a publicly available source, to the extent permitted by law, or to request your further consent.

This data may also be used for the efficient handling of the website's business activities. This includes, among other things, the automation and aggregation of data to support various analyses and statistics, the performance of performance and predictive analyses, and data science for market research purposes in order to support you in your concerns and meet your requirements. To the extent permitted by law, the website may combine this information and use this aggregated information to identify your interests and business needs, gain business-relevant insights, develop marketing strategies, and create, develop, send, and improve personalized messages for you. It may also be used by the website to display relevant content on the website or third-party websites.

-Advertising IDs: If your consent has been obtained or if permitted by law, the website may create a hashed user ID and transmit it to third-party social networks or other web offerings (such as X, LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, or Google). This information is then matched with the third party's user databases to present you with additional relevant website content. When maintaining business relationships, including the execution of direct marketing and sales activities, the website may process your personal data if the following applies:

The contract or pre-contractual relationship relates to a company or other legal entity, and the website processes your personal data as a contact person, and the processing is necessary

We maintain our business relationship with you, ensure your satisfaction as a user or representative of the client, and/or provide you with information about other website products and services in accordance with your requirements and interests (necessary for the performance of a contract and/or legitimate interest in maintaining sustainable business relationships with website customers and partners).
