Your voluntarily provided data will only be used for the purpose for which you have given it to us. Only if you have given your consent for use in the context of further offers or for marketing purposes, your data will also be used for these purposes.

Standard data


When you use our website, the web server always records the following information in the server log files for security reasons: IP, client information (browser and operating system) and the URL request. This data is not linked to other data.
In case of abuse attempts or server errors, however, it may be possible that a so-called log file is started for error analysis. In detail, the IP address, the specific address of the page accessed, if applicable the page from which you reached us (link source), the transmitted browser ID, as well as the system date and time of the page visit are recorded here. This data is deleted from our servers immediately after the error has been corrected and is used exclusively to analyze the error. ECS is not able to link the log data with a person.

Contacting


When contacting ECS (for example via contact form or e-mail), the user's details are stored for the purpose of processing the request and in the event that follow-up questions arise.

Safety


We have taken extensive technical and operational precautions to protect your personal data stored with us against unauthorized access and misuse. Our security procedures are regularly reviewed and adapted to technological progress. Nevertheless, Internet-based data transmissions can have security gaps, so that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. Our employees are obliged to maintain confidentiality.

Definitions
The data protection declaration of ECS is based on the terms used by the European Directive and Regulation Giver when the Basic Data Protection Regulation (DS-GMO) was issued.

In this data protection declaration we use the following terms among others:

  1. Personal data
    Personal data are all information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter "data subject"). Identifiable is a natural person who can be identified directly or indirectly, in particular by assignment to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or one or more special characteristics that express the physical, physiological, genetic, psychological, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.

  2. Person concerned
    Data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data are processed by the controller.

  3. Processing
    Processing means any operation or series of operations carried out with or without the aid of automated procedures in relation to personal data, such as the collection, collection, organisation, sorting, storage, adaptation or alteration, reading, retrieval, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or any other form of provision, comparison or linking, restriction, erasure or destruction.

  4. Limitation of processing
    Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of restricting their future processing.

  5. Profiling
    Profiling is any form of automated processing of personal data consisting in the use of such personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyse or predict aspects relating to the performance of work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, location or relocation of that natural person.

  6. Pseudonymization
    Pseudonymisation is the processing of personal data in such a way that the personal data can no longer be assigned to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that this additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organisational measures which ensure that the personal data are not assigned to an identified or identifiable natural person.

  7. Data controller
    The data controller or controller is the natural or legal person, public authority, institution or other body which alone or jointly with others decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data.

  9. Receiver
    Recipient is a natural or legal person, authority, institution or other body to which personal data is disclosed, regardless of whether it is a third party or not. However, authorities which may receive personal data under Union law or the law of the Member States within the framework of a particular investigation mandate shall not be regarded as recipients.

  10. Third
    A third party is a natural or legal person, authority, institution or other body other than the data subject, the data processor, the data processor and the persons authorised to process the personal data under the direct responsibility of the data processor or the data processor.

  11. Consent
    Consent shall mean any informed and unequivocal expression of will voluntarily given by the data subject in the particular case in the form of a declaration or other clear affirmative act by which the data subject indicates his or her consent to the processing of personal data concerning him or her.
