1. Collection and storage of personal data, and the nature and purpose of its use
When you visit our website or contact us, the browser on your device automatically sends information to our website’s server. This information is temporarily stored in a so-called log file. The following information is collected without your involvement and stored until it is automatically deleted:
- IP address of the requesting computer,
- date and time of access,
- name and URL of the file accessed,
- website from which the access was made (referrer URL),
- browser used and, if applicable, your computer’s operating system and the name of your access provider.
We process this data for the following purposes:
- ensuring a smooth connection to the website,
- ensuring comfortable use of our website,
- evaluating system security and stability, and
- other administrative purposes.
The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest follows from the purposes of data collection listed above. We never use the collected data to draw conclusions about you as a person.
We don’t use any other analytics services.
2. Disclosure of data
Your personal data is not transferred to third parties for purposes other than those listed below.
We only share your personal data with third parties if:
- you have given your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. a GDPR,
- disclosure is necessary under Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. f GDPR to establish, exercise or defend legal claims and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding legitimate interest in your data not being disclosed,
- there is a legal obligation to disclose it under Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. c GDPR, and
- this is legally permitted and necessary under Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. b GDPR for the performance of contracts with you.
3. Cookies
We only use so-called “session” cookies on our site. These are small files that your browser creates automatically and that are stored on your device (laptop, tablet, smartphone or similar) when you visit our site. Cookies do not harm your device and contain no viruses, Trojans or other malware. The cookie stores information related to the specific device you use. This does not mean, however, that we learn your identity directly. The use of cookies serves to make using our website more convenient for you. For example, we use these session cookies to recognize that you have already visited certain pages of our website. They are deleted automatically when you leave our site.
In addition, we store your choice in the cookie notice in the cookie “rp_consent” (storage period 12 months), so the notice doesn’t appear again on every visit. You can change your choice at any time via the “Cookie settings” link in the footer. The legal basis is Section 25 (2) No. 2 TDDDG.
The data processed by cookies is necessary for the purposes mentioned to protect our legitimate interests and those of third parties under Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. Most browsers accept cookies automatically. However, you can configure your browser so that no cookies are stored on your computer or so that a notice always appears before a new cookie is created. Disabling cookies completely may mean that you can’t use all features of our website.
4. Fonts
The fonts used on this website are hosted locally on our server. No connection to third-party servers (e.g. Google Fonts) is made when you visit the website.
5. Contact form
When you send us a request via the contact form, we process the information you enter (name, business email address, company, topic, description and, optionally, team size, systems used, desired timeframe and phone number) to handle and answer your request. The information is stored in our website system and forwarded to us by email; you receive a confirmation of receipt by email.
The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. b GDPR where your request is aimed at concluding a contract, and otherwise Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. f GDPR (our legitimate interest in answering requests). We delete the data as soon as it is no longer needed to handle your request and no statutory retention obligations apply.
6. Applying to the expert network
When you apply to our expert network via the form, we process the information you enter (including name, contact details, roles, experience, availability, hourly rate, time zone, country, language skills, LinkedIn and portfolio profile, short introduction) and your CV to assess a possible project-based collaboration. Your CV is stored on our server without public access; only authorized persons can access it.
The legal basis is your consent under Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. a GDPR. We store your information and CV for up to 12 months or until you request deletion. You can withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future, e.g. by email to hi@remoteplatz.com.
7. Your rights
You have the right:
- under Art. 15 GDPR, to request information about your personal data processed by us. In particular, you can request information about the purposes of processing, the categories of personal data, the categories of recipients to whom your data has been or will be disclosed, the planned storage period, the existence of a right to rectification, erasure, restriction of processing or objection, the existence of a right to lodge a complaint, the source of your data if it was not collected by us, and the existence of automated decision-making including profiling and, where applicable, meaningful information about its details;
- under Art. 16 GDPR, to demand without delay the correction of inaccurate or the completion of your personal data stored by us;
- under Art. 17 GDPR, to demand the erasure of your personal data stored by us, unless processing is necessary for exercising the right to freedom of expression and information, for compliance with a legal obligation, for reasons of public interest or for establishing, exercising or defending legal claims;
- under Art. 18 GDPR, to demand the restriction of processing of your personal data if you dispute the accuracy of the data, the processing is unlawful but you refuse its erasure, we no longer need the data but you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims, or you have objected to processing under Art. 21 GDPR;
- under Art. 20 GDPR, to receive the personal data you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format or to request its transfer to another controller;
- under Art. 7 (3) GDPR, to withdraw your consent at any time. As a result, we may no longer continue the data processing based on this consent in the future; and
- under Art. 77 GDPR, to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. As a rule, you can contact the supervisory authority of your usual place of residence or workplace for this.
8. Right to object
If your personal data is processed on the basis of legitimate interests under Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. f GDPR, you have the right under Art. 21 GDPR to object to the processing of your personal data if there are grounds relating to your particular situation or if the objection is directed against direct marketing. In the latter case, you have a general right to object, which we implement without you having to state a particular situation. If you wish to exercise your right of withdrawal or objection, simply send an email to hi@remoteplatz.com.
9. Data security
Our website uses the widespread SSL (Secure Socket Layer) method in combination with the highest level of encryption supported by your browser. As a rule, this is 256-bit encryption. If your browser does not support 256-bit encryption, we use 128-bit v3 technology instead. You can tell whether an individual page of our website is transmitted in encrypted form by the closed key or lock symbol in your browser.
We also use appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your data against accidental or intentional manipulation, partial or complete loss, destruction or unauthorized access by third parties. Our security measures are continuously improved in line with technological developments.
10. Embedded videos (Vimeo)
On our homepage we embed videos from the Vimeo platform (Vimeo.com, Inc., USA). A video only loads when you click “Play” – before that, no connection to Vimeo is made and you only see a preview image loaded from our server. After the click, the Vimeo player loads in “Do Not Track” mode. Your browser then transmits technical data such as your IP address, the date and time of the request and the page visited to Vimeo; processing in the USA is possible.
The legal basis is your consent by clicking “Play” (Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. a GDPR, Section 25 (1) TDDDG). You can find more information in Vimeo’s privacy policy: vimeo.com/privacy.
