Privacy Policy (Last updated: October 2023)

Privacy Policy of FUSE-AI GmbH

With the following information, we would like to inform you about the nature, scope and purposes of the collection and use of personal data on our website.

Use of the Website and Automatic Data Collection

In principle, you can visit our non-password-protected websites without disclosing personal information about your identity, such as your name, email address, address details or other personal information.

Automatic Data Collection

When you visit our website, the following data is transmitted to us:

• Browser type and version

• Operating system used

• Website from which you accessed our website (referrer URL)

• Website you visit

• Date and time of access

• Your Internet Protocol (IP) address

Once the use of the IP address is no longer required for purposes of system stability and security, the last octet is shortened so that it is no longer possible to establish a connection to an individual user. In this anonymised form, the data is stored for twelve months and evaluated for statistical purposes.

Collection of Additional Data

If you choose to contact us or order or use one of our online services, such as subscribing to a newsletter or requesting information material, we require additional personal information, such as your name, email address, postal address and other information specific to the respective service.

The provision of your personal data is always voluntary and subject to your own decision. We only collect and use data that is necessary to fulfil the respective purpose.

Once the purpose has been fulfilled, or at your request, we will delete your personal data unless there is a legal obligation to retain it, for example for tax purposes in connection with the calculation of paid services.

Subject to the additional information provided in this Privacy Policy, your data is stored exclusively on specially protected computer systems located in Germany. Access to these systems and the data stored on them is restricted to persons who require the data as part of their regular business duties and who have been granted separate password-protected access rights.

Through appropriate technical and organisational measures for data protection and IT security, we ensure that your information is treated confidentially at all times.

SSL Encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as enquiries you send to us as the website operator, this website uses SSL encryption.

You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line in your browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser.

When SSL encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Processing of Data (Customer and Contract Data)

We collect, process and use personal data only to the extent necessary for establishing, defining or modifying the legal relationship concerned (master data).

We collect, process and use personal data relating to the use of our website (usage data) only to the extent necessary to enable the user to use the service or to bill for the service.

Disclosure of Personal Data to Third Parties

Personal information is generally collected, stored or processed only within FUSE-AI GmbH and by external service providers who are contractually bound as data processors in accordance with applicable data protection regulations.

Your personal data will not be disclosed to any parties other than those involved in processing your request. Where applicable, further information about the parties involved can be found in the service-specific information.

If we commission external service providers to process personal data, this is done in compliance with applicable data protection regulations and with the objective of ensuring that the service providers use the entrusted data only in accordance with our contractual instructions.

We are also granted the right to monitor the technical and organisational measures that the service provider is required to implement.

If required by law, by court order or for law enforcement purposes, we will disclose your data to authorised authorities.

Newsletter Data

To send you our newsletter, we require your email address. Verification of the email address provided is necessary, and you must consent to receiving the newsletter.

Additional data is not collected or is provided voluntarily. The data is used exclusively for sending the newsletter.

The data provided when subscribing to the newsletter is processed exclusively on the basis of your consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR.

You may withdraw your consent at any time. An informal notification by email is sufficient, or you may unsubscribe via the “unsubscribe” link in the newsletter.

The lawfulness of data processing carried out before withdrawal of consent remains unaffected.

Data entered for the purpose of setting up the subscription will be deleted if you unsubscribe. If this data has also been provided to us for other purposes and elsewhere, it will remain with us for those purposes.

Use of Cookies

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small files that are downloaded to and stored on your computer or other internet-enabled devices, such as your tablet or mobile phone, when you visit our website.

A cookie usually contains the name of the website from which it originates, the “lifetime” of the cookie, meaning how long the cookie will remain on your device, and a value that usually consists of a randomly generated unique number.

You can change your settings so that cookies are blocked or so that you are notified when cookies are sent to your device.

There are various ways of managing cookies. Please refer to your browser instructions or help menu to learn more about how to adjust your browser settings.

If you disable the cookies we use, this may affect the usability of our website. For example, you may no longer be able to access certain areas of our website or information tailored to your personal preferences may no longer be displayed.

If you use different devices to visit our website, such as your computer, smartphone or tablet, you should ensure that your preferred cookie settings are configured in each browser and on each device.

Why Do We Use Cookies?

We use cookies to compile usage statistics and to determine how you reached our website.

We also use cookies to create anonymous aggregated statistics that allow us to understand how visitors use our website and to improve the structure and content of our website.

We cannot personally identify you based on this information.

Which Cookies Are Used on Our Website?

Most of the cookies we use are so-called “session cookies”. They are automatically deleted after the end of your visit.

Other cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. These cookies enable us to recognise your browser when you next visit our website.

If a user is logged into social networks such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, XING or LinkedIn, additional cookies may be set by the respective social network provider. We have no control over this.

Browser Plugin

You can prevent cookies from being stored by selecting the appropriate settings in your browser software. However, please note that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of this website to their full extent.

You can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie relating to your use of the website, including your IP address, and from processing this data by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link:

https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de

Vimeo Social Plugins

Our websites use social plugins provided by Vimeo.

These social plugins may transmit personal data to the service providers, including to countries outside Europe, and such data may be used by the providers.

We ourselves do not collect personal data through the social plugins or their use.

We have configured the social plugins so that no personal data is initially transmitted to the providers of the respective social plugins when you visit our website.

Only when you click on one of the social plugins can data be transmitted to and stored by the service provider.

When you click on the relevant button of a service provider, the provider receives information that you have accessed the corresponding subpage of our online offering.

You do not need to have an account with the service provider or be logged in.

If you are logged in to the service provider, this data will be directly assigned to your account.

If you click on one of the social plugins and, for example, link to the page, the service provider will also store this information in your user account and may share it publicly with your contacts.

If you do not want the data to be associated with your profile at the service provider, you must log out before clicking on one of the social plugins.

We have no influence over whether and to what extent the service providers collect personal data.

We also do not know the scope, purpose or storage period of the data collection.

It must be assumed that at least the IP address and device-related information are collected and used. It is also possible that the service providers use cookies.

Further information from the individual service providers:

Vimeo Videos and Related Data Collection and Use

Our websites may contain videos embedded using a Vimeo “plugin”.

As soon as you visit a page of our website on which such a Vimeo plugin is embedded, a connection to Vimeo's servers is established.

Various information may be transmitted to Vimeo, such as your IP address or which page of our online offering you are currently visiting.

If you watch a video embedded in this way, this data may also be stored and used further by Vimeo.

If you are simultaneously logged into your Vimeo account, Vimeo may associate your browsing behaviour with your Vimeo user profile.

You can prevent this type of data processing by logging out of your Vimeo account before visiting our website.

“Enhanced privacy mode” is enabled for Vimeo videos on our website.

As Vimeo is a third-party service, we have no influence over the processing of corresponding data.

For information about the purpose and scope of data collection, the further processing and use of data by Vimeo, as well as your rights and settings options for protecting your privacy, please refer to Vimeo's Privacy Policy:

https://vimeo.com/privacy

Security of Data Transmission

When communicating data via open networks such as the internet, the protection of transmitted data cannot be fully guaranteed using current technology, nor can unauthorised access by third parties be completely prevented.

Therefore, please do not send us confidential data via the internet, for example via contact forms or email, without adequate protection.

However, all forms on this website that collect personal data are encrypted using the TLS 1.2 protocol.

Processing of Data in Countries Outside Germany

Subject to the additional information contained in this Privacy Policy, personal data collected via our online services and stored on our computer systems is not processed outside Germany.

Information About Data Processing, Rectification, Restriction of Processing, Right to Data Portability, Right to Object and Deletion of Data

You have the right at any time to obtain information about the personal data concerning you that is stored or processed, its origin and recipients, as well as the purpose of its collection and processing.

For this purpose, you may send an email to info@fuse-ai.de.

At your request, we will also correct the data stored about you.

If you have given us consent to store or process your data, you have the right to withdraw this consent at any time with effect for the future by contacting info@fuse-ai.de, unless another address has been specified in the relevant context.

Since 25 May 2018, you may also exercise your rights to restriction of processing and data portability and object to certain forms of personal data processing where and to the extent that the legal requirements of the EU General Data Protection Regulation apply in the individual case and with regard to the service used.

We will delete data stored in our systems as soon as the purpose for its storage or processing no longer applies.

We regularly review whether continued storage is still necessary.

If you request the deletion of your personal data, we will comply with this request unless statutory provisions, such as retention obligations, prevent deletion.

For this purpose, you may send an email to info@fuse-ai.de.

Google Analytics

This website uses functions of the web analytics service Google Analytics.

The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies”. These are text files that are stored on your computer and enable an analysis of your use of the website.

The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is generally transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

IP Anonymisation

We have activated the IP anonymisation function on this website.

This means that your IP address will be shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or other parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before it is transmitted to the USA.

Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there.

On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activity and provide other services related to website and internet usage to the website operator.

The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

Browser Plugin

You can prevent cookies from being stored by selecting the appropriate settings in your browser software.

However, please note that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of this website to their full extent.

You can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie relating to your use of the website, including your IP address, and from processing this data by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at:

https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de

Objection to Data Collection

You can prevent your data from being collected by Google Analytics by clicking the following link.

An opt-out cookie will be set that prevents your data from being collected during future visits to this website:

Disable Google Analytics

More information on how Google Analytics handles user data can be found in Google's Privacy Policy:

https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=de

Data Processing Agreement

We have entered into a data processing agreement with Google and fully comply with the strict requirements of the German data protection authorities when using Google Analytics.

Google Fonts

This website uses Google Web Fonts to display certain fonts.

The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

When you access a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into its browser cache in order to display text and fonts correctly.

For this purpose, the browser you are using must establish a connection to Google's servers.

As a result, Google becomes aware that our website has been accessed via your IP address.

The use of Google Web Fonts is in the interest of a uniform and attractive presentation of our online services.

This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

If your browser does not support Web Fonts, a standard font installed on your computer will be used.

Further information about Google Web Fonts can be found at:

https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq

and in Google's Privacy Policy:

https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/

Server Log Files

The website provider automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us.

These include:

• Browser type and browser version

• Operating system used

• Referrer URL

• Host name of the accessing computer

• Time of the server request

• IP address

This data is not combined with data from other sources.

The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the performance of a contract or for pre-contractual measures.

Contact Form

If you send us enquiries via the contact form, the information you provide in the enquiry form, including the contact details you provide there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing your enquiry and in the event of follow-up questions.

We will not disclose this data without your consent.

The data entered into the contact form is therefore processed exclusively on the basis of your consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR.

You may withdraw your consent at any time.

An informal notification by email is sufficient.

The lawfulness of data processing carried out before withdrawal of consent remains unaffected.

The data you enter into the contact form will remain with us until you request its deletion, withdraw your consent to storage or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies, for example after your enquiry has been fully processed.

Mandatory statutory provisions, in particular retention periods, remain unaffected.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to receive data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfilment of a contract in a commonly used, machine-readable format, either for yourself or for a third party.

If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be carried out where technically feasible.

Objection to Advertising Emails

We hereby object to the use of contact details published as part of our legal notice obligations for the purpose of sending unsolicited advertising and information materials.

The website operators expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited advertising information being sent, for example via spam emails.

Information, Deletion and Blocking

You have the right at any time to obtain, free of charge, information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients and the purpose of the data processing, as well as the right to rectification, blocking or deletion of this data.

For this purpose, as well as for any further questions relating to personal data, you may contact us at any time using the address provided in the Legal Notice.

Changes to Our Privacy Policy

We reserve the right to amend this Privacy Policy in order to ensure that it always complies with current legal requirements or to reflect changes to our services in the Privacy Policy, for example when introducing new services.

The new Privacy Policy will then apply to your next visit.
