‍Data processing when visiting the Design & Systems website
We process your personal data only for the purposes stated in this privacy policy. Design & Systeme does not collect and store any data itself - however, the following data may be collected by third-party services (e.g. videos from Vimeo on our pages):

– Usage data
– Inventory data

Integration of third-party services and content
On the basis of our legitimate interests (i.e. interest in the analysis, optimization and economic operation of our online offer within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. GDPR), we use content or service offers from third-party providers within our online offer. GDPR), we use content or service offers from third-party providers to integrate their content and services, such as videos from Vimeo. 

This assumes that these third-party providers are also aware of the IP address of the user, as they would not be able to send the content to their browser without the IP address. The IP address is therefore required to display this content.
‍
The information obtained in this way can be stored in cookies on the user's device and contain, among other things, information about the browser and operating system, referring websites, visit time and other information about the use of our online offer, as well as being linked to information from other sources.
‍
Use of cookies
Design & Systeme does not use cookies on www.designandsystems.de itself. However, these are used by third-party providers (e.g. Vimeo). This happens when you view the videos displayed on www.designandsystems.de. A cookie is a small text file that is stored on your hard disk by a website and enables your use of the website to be analyzed. Cookies do not allow a server to read private data from your computer or the data stored by another server. They do not cause any damage to your computer and do not contain viruses.

‍Vimeo Plugins
We use the provider Vimeo for the integration of videos. Vimeo is operated by Vimeo, LLC, headquartered at 555 West 18th Street, New York, New York 10011. We use plugins from the provider Vimeo on some of our web pages. When you access the web pages of our website that have such a plugin, a connection to the Vimeo servers is established and the plugin is displayed. This tells the Vimeo server which of our web pages you have visited. If you are logged in to Vimeo as a member, Vimeo assigns this information to your personal user account. When you use the plugin, e.g. by clicking the start button of a video, this information is also assigned to your user account. You can prevent this assignment by logging out of your Vimeo user account before using our website and deleting the corresponding cookies from Vimeo.

Disclosure to third parties
We do not pass on your personal data to third parties. Deviating from this principle, data will only be passed on,
‍
– within the scope of a consent given by you
– if the transmission is essential for the implementation of offers or services that you wish to use
– if a subcontractor that we use to provide the offers or services requires the data and uses it for a specific purpose
– as part of the fulfillment of legal obligations to bodies entitled to receive information

Liability for web links
Our website may contain web links to external third-party websites over whose content we have no influence. These are external offers whose content we expressly do not adopt as our own. The respective provider or operator of the pages is always responsible for the content of the linked pages. The linked websites were checked for possible legal violations at the time of linking. Illegal contents were not recognizable at the time of linking.
‍
Standard deadlines for data erasure
Due to legal regulations, certain retention obligations and periods apply. After these periods have expired, the corresponding data is routinely deleted. In addition, personal data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected or the legitimate basis for handling the data no longer applies (e.g. due to the revocation of consent).
‍
Right to information and corrections as well as deletion

If you have any questions about the collection, processing or use of your personal data, please contact info@designandsystems.de. In addition, you have the right to correct incorrect data, block and delete your personal data, provided that this does not conflict with any statutory retention period.
