In general, it is not necessary to provide personal data to use our website. However, in order to actually provide our services, we may need your personal data. This applies in particular to answering individual enquiries. If you commission us to provide a service, we will only collect and store your personal data to the extent that it is necessary for the provision of the service or the execution of the order: In the case of direct contact enquiries, this relates in particular to your e-mail address. In the context of enquiries, name, telephone number and address data may also be stored. For this purpose, it may be necessary to pass on your personal data to companies that we use to provide the service or to process the contract. Your personal data will not be passed on to other third parties without your express consent, unless this is necessary for the provision of the service or the execution of the contract (as stated above).

Embedding of third-party services and content

Third-party content, such as YouTube videos, Google Maps, RSS feeds or graphics from other websites, may be embedded in this online presence. This always involves the providers of such content recording the user’s IP address. Without this IP address, they would not be able to send the content to the user’s browser. The IP address is therefore indispensable for displaying such content. We try to use only content the providers of which use the IP address solely for delivering such content. However, we have no control over Third-Party Providers storing the IP address, e.g. for statistical purposes. To the extent that we are aware of this ourselves, we make our users aware of this fact as well.

Data protection information: Online meetings and webinars

In the following we inform you about the processing of personal data in connection with the use of our online meeting and webinar platforms. 

“Zoom” Webinars

Contact

If you provide your data via a Zoom registration form as part of our meetings or webinars, this data will be stored by F.Trenka for the purpose of processing the registration, for the event of follow-up questions and for advertising measures. This data is available to F.Trenka and F.Trenka's contractual partner, which co-organised the respective webinar. The data will not be passed on to other third parties without your consent.

Purpose of processing

We use the tool "Zoom" to conduct telephone conferences, online meetings, video conferences and/or webinars. In the following, we are mainly referring to “meetings”.
Zoom is a service of Zoom Video Communications, Inc. which is based in the USA.
More information on the data protection declaration of Zoom: https://zoom.us/privacy
Note: If you access the Zoom website (www.zoom.us), the provider of Zoom is responsible for data processing. However, accessing the website is only necessary for the use of Zoom in order to download the software for the use of Zoom.
You can also use Zoom if you enter the respective meeting ID and, if applicable, further access data for the meeting directly in the Zoom app.
If you do not want to or cannot use the Zoom app, the basic functions can also be used via a browser version, which you can also find on the Zoom website.

What data are processed?

Various types of data are processed when using Zoom. The scope of the data also depends on the data you provide before or during participation in a meeting.
The following personal data are subject to processing:

• User details: first name, last name, telephone (optional), e-mail address, password (if "single sign-on" is not used), profile picture (optional), department (optional)
• Meeting metadata: Topic, description (optional), participant IP addresses, device/hardware information.
• Registration data: title, first name, last name, company, job title, country.
• For recordings (optional): MP4 file of all video, audio and presentation recordings, M4A file of all audio recordings, text file of the online meeting chat.
• When dialling in with the telephone: information on the incoming and outgoing call number, country name, start and end time. If necessary, further connection data such as the IP address of the device can be saved.
• Text, audio and video data: You may have the opportunity to use the chat, question or survey functions in a webinar. In this respect, the text entries you make are processed in order to display them in the webinar and, if necessary, to record them. In order to enable the display of video and the playback of audio, the data from the microphone of your terminal device and from any video camera of the terminal device are processed accordingly during the meeting. You can switch off or mute the camera or microphone yourself at any time via the Zoom applications. In order to participate in a webinar or to enter the "meeting room", you must at least provide information about your name.

Scope of processing

We use Zoom to conduct online meetings or webinars. If we want to record them, we will inform you transparently in advance and - if necessary - ask for your consent. The fact of the recording will also be displayed to you in the Zoom app.
If it is necessary for the purposes of logging the results of an online meeting, we will log the chat content. However, this will not usually be the case.
We may also process questions asked by participants for the purposes of recording and following up.
If you are registered as a user at Zoom, then reports on webinars (meeting metadata, telephone dial-in data, questions and answers in webinars, survey function in webinars) may be stored at Zoom for up to one month.

Legal basis of data processing

If, in connection with the use of Zoom, personal data is not required for the establishment, implementation or termination of the employment relationship, but is nevertheless an elementary component of the use of Zoom, the legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. In these cases, our interest lies in the effective implementation of meeting.
Otherwise, the legal basis for data processing when conducting meetings is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR, insofar as the meetings are conducted within the framework of contractual relationships.
If there is no contractual relationship, the legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. In this case, our interest is in the effective conduct of meetings.

Recipients / disclosure of data

Personal data processed in connection with participation in meetings will generally not be passed on to third parties unless it is intended to be passed on. Please note that the content of meetings, as well as personal meetings, is often used to communicate information with customers, interested parties or third parties and is therefore intended to be passed on.
Other recipients: The provider of Zoom necessarily receives knowledge of the above-mentioned data, insofar as this is provided for in the context of our order processing contract with Zoom.

Data processing outside the European Union

Zoom is a service provided by a provider from the USA. Processing of personal data therefore also takes place in a third country. We have concluded an order processing agreement with the provider of Zoom that meets the requirements of Art. 28 GDPR.
An appropriate level of data protection is guaranteed on the one hand by the conclusion of the so-called EU standard contractual clauses.

Data storage

No data will be transferred to third parties, with the exception of the transfer to the above-mentioned company partners who were directly involved in the creation of the respective webinar and for the purpose of web analysis and advertising measures. 
After termination of the registration process, the data stored by us will be deleted. In the case of a registration termination, all data from the contractual relationship will be stored until the expiry of the retention period under tax law (7 years). The data processing is carried out on the basis of the legal provisions of § 96 para 3 TCG as well as Art 6 para 1 lit a (consent) and/or lit b (necessary for the fulfilment of the contract) of the GDPR.

Newsletter

As part of the meeting or webinar registration, one automatically qualifies for the newsletter, which informs about meeting-related topics (e.g. webinar dates, reminders). You will only be included in the newsletter distribution list after you have agreed to be contacted by F.Trenka via a double opt-in. The webinar certificates are sent once to all participants after the webinar. In order to provide you with targeted information, we also collect and process information voluntarily provided. Among other things, e-mails are sent via the e-mail software used by F.Trenka (Microsoft Outlook) in combination with the Word integration "Mail Merge Toolkit" by Mapilap.

You can cancel your subscription to the newsletter at any time. Please send your cancellation to the following e-mail address: office@ftrenka.com.
