Third parties in the form of service providers under our control (“Commissioned Data Processors” under the GDPR) and for monitoring purposes where such disclosure is necessary or helpful for us to provide the Grace Digital Services to you, and such third parties are contractually bound to use your Personal Data and/or Non-Personal Data under the same restrictions as set forth in this Privacy Policy. See sections 3.1 – 3.3 below for more details.
any person to whom disclosure becomes necessary to enable us to enforce our rights under this Privacy Policy or our Terms and Conditions (including, for example, law enforcement authorities in the case of fraud)
any authorities to whom we are required by law to disclose your personal data and non-personal data (for example, tax authorities with respect to commercial transactions).
We will not disclose your personal data to any other entity or person without your express consent.
3.1 Google Analytics
Our website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043 USA, www.google.com (“Google Analytics” or “Google”). Google Analytics uses cookies that are placed on your computer to help analyze your use of our public website. The data generated by these cookies, such as the time, place and frequency of your visits to our website, including your IP address, are transmitted to Google’s location in the USA and stored there.
When using Google Analytics, our website uses the extension “anonymizeIp”. This shortens your IP address from Google and thus anonymizes it before it is passed on from EU/EEA member states. Google uses this data to analyze your use of our website, compile reports on internet activity for us and provide other services relating to our website. We use Google Analytics only on our public website, not on our dashboard after login.
Google may also transfer this data to third parties to the extent required by law or if third parties process this data on Google’s behalf. Google states that your IP address will never be linked to any other data stored by Google. You can prevent cookies from being set by adjusting your browser settings accordingly, as explained elsewhere in this privacy policy. Please note, however, that the full functionality of our website may then no longer be available to you.
Google Analytics also offers a deactivation add-on for most current browsers that gives you more control over the type of data Google collects on websites you visit. The add-on tells the JavaScript used by Google Analytics (ga.js) not to share information about website visits with Google Analytics. However, the browser disable add-on offered by Google Analytics does not prevent data transmission to us or to other web analytics services we may use.
Google Analytics also uses electronic graphics known as tracking pixels (web beacons, sometimes called single-pixel images), which are used alongside cookies to compile aggregate statistics to analyze the use of our website.
For more information on how to install the above-mentioned browser add-on, please visit this link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en.
Further information and the applicable privacy policy of Google can be found at https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/ and at http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/us.html. Further explanations about Google Analytics can be found at the following link: https://www.google.com/analytics/.
3.2 MailChimp
We use a service called Mailchimp to send transactional inquiry emails or to manage subscriber lists for email marketing and to send monthly newsletters to our subscribers. Mailchimp is an online marketing platform operated by The Rocket Science Group LLC, a company headquartered in the state of Georgia in the USA.
Mailchimp automatically places tracking pixels (single pixel gifs, also known as web beacons) in every email sent to our users. These are tiny graphics that contain unique markers/identifiers that allow us and our users to recognize when an addressee has opened an email or clicked on certain links. These technologies capture the email address, IP address, and date and time associated with each addressee that opens and clicks for a campaign. We use this data to generate reports for us on how an email campaign is performing and what actions the addressees have taken.
Each newsletter includes a link at the bottom for quick and easy unsubscribing; this allows users to opt out at any time.
Your email address will remain in Mailchimp’s database as long as we continue to use their services for email marketing or until you request to be removed from the list. You can do this by unsubscribing via the unsubscribe links provided in each newsletter email we send to you, or by requesting deletion via email. If you wish to request deletion via email, please contact us using the email account registered on the mailing list.
As long as your email address is in the MailChimp database, you will receive periodic (approximately monthly) newsletter-style emails from us.
More information and the applicable privacy policy of MailChimp can be found at https://mailchimp.com/legal/ and at https://mailchimp.com/legal/terms.
4. How does Grace Digital protect your personal data?
The security of your personal data is very important to us. We comply with the GDPR to protect your personal data transmitted to us, both during transmission and storage.
The personal data you provide to us is either collected and processed by us or on the part of the data processors we use to carry out the processing on our behalf in accordance with Article 28 of the GDPR. We have implemented physical, electronic and operational measures to help secure your personal data and prevent unauthorized access, use, alteration, modification and/or disclosure.
Your personal information is stored on servers owned by Microsoft, Inc. and/or other contracted data processors under Sections 3.1 to 3.3 above and/or your respective affiliates, all of which are subject to our contractual control under Section 28 of the GDPR for data protection purposes. Any personal information you provide to us in accordance with this Privacy Policy will be adequately protected by this Privacy Policy, our contracts with Microsoft, or any other third party service providers that implement the requirements of Section 28 of the GDPR.
If you have any questions about security on our website, please contact us at support@grace-digital.de.
5. Review and correction of your data
You may correct, update or delete your account information at any time by please contacting us at support@grace-digital.de. We will be happy to review, update or delete your information as applicable.
6. Third party websites
Our website may contain advertisements or services that link to other websites such as Twitter, Facebook and YouTube. The fact that we link to third party websites does not constitute an endorsement, authorization or opinion regarding any association with that third party website or the operator of that third party website. When you click on a link from a third party website, including an advertisement, you are leaving the Grace Digital site you are currently visiting and going to the selected website. Because we cannot control the activities of third parties, we are not responsible for the use of personal information by such third parties, and we cannot ensure that they will follow the same privacy and security policies as Grace Digital. Check the privacy policies of other service providers from whom you request services. If you visit a third party website that links to a Grace Digital service, you should ask about that third party website’s privacy policy before providing any personal information and personally identifiable information.
We may receive some information that you leave on third party websites when you navigate to them via an advertisement within one of the Grace Digital Services. Both we and the owner or operator of that third party website is the data controller with respect to such data.
7. Updates to the Privacy Policy
We reserve the right to change this Privacy Policy at any time, so please review it regularly. Changes and clarifications will be effective immediately after they are posted on the Website. If we make material changes to this policy, we will notify you of those changes here. This will help you understand what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we use and/or disclose it.
