1. Data Protection at a Glance

The operators of this website take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy.

The use of our website is generally possible without providing personal data. Where personal data (such as name, address or email addresses) is collected on our pages, this is always done on a voluntary basis wherever possible. This data will not be passed on to third parties without your express consent.

We point out that data transmission on the internet (e.g., when communicating by email) can have security gaps. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

The following information provides a simple overview of what happens to your personal data when you visit our website. Personal data is any data that can personally identify you. For detailed information on data protection, please refer to our privacy policy listed below this text.

Who is responsible for data collection on this website?

Data processing on this website is carried out by the website operator. You can find their contact details in the legal notice of this website.

Who is responsible for data collection when conducting web-based esc Profile assessments?

The responsible party is either the license customer who uses the esc Profile assessment or the website operator himself when he uses the esc Profile assessment himself. Data processing in conducting an esc Profile assessment, esc Job Profile analysis, or esc Intelligence analysis is carried out either by the website operator himself or by the website operator as a data processor for a license customer (data owner or responsible party according to GDPR for the collected data) who uses the esc Profile assessment as part of their business processes. You can find the contact details of the website operator in the legal notice of this website. You can find the contact details of a license customer in their request to participate in a potential analysis.

How do we collect your data?

Your data is collected in part by you providing it to us. This can be data that you enter into a contact form, for example, or entries during the execution of an esc Profile assessment.

Other data is automatically collected when visiting the website by our IT systems. This is mainly technical data (e.g., internet browser, operating system, or time of page access). This data is collected automatically as soon as you enter our website.

What do we use your data for?

Part of the data is collected to ensure error-free provision of the website. Other data may be used to analyze your user behavior. The data from your entries during the execution of an esc Profile assessment is used to generate your esc Profile assessment.

What rights do you have regarding your data?

You have the right at any time to receive information free of charge about the origin, recipient, and purpose of your stored personal data. You also have the right to request correction, blocking, or deletion of this data. For this as well as for further questions on the subject of data protection, you can contact us at any time at the address given in the legal notice. If we act as a data processor for a license customer in your case, we will promptly forward your request to the responsible party at the license customer. Furthermore, you have the right to complain to the competent supervisory authority.

Analysis tools and third-party tools

When visiting our website, your surfing behavior can be statistically evaluated. This happens mainly with cookies and so-called analysis programs. The analysis of your surfing behavior is usually anonymous; the surfing behavior cannot be traced back to you. You can object to this analysis or prevent it by not using certain tools. Detailed information can be found in the following privacy policy.

You can object to this analysis. We will inform you about the possibilities of objection in this privacy policy.

Use of Zoom for online seminars

Zoom is certified under the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield. Furthermore, escProfile has concluded a data processing agreement with "Zoom" based on EU standard contractual clauses. The legal basis for using "Zoom" is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR.

2. General Information and Mandatory Information

Information about the responsible party

The responsible party for data processing on this website is:

Ralph Köbler
Burggasse 100/7, A-1070 Vienna, Austria
Phone: +43-1-944 80 34
Email: ralph.koebler@escprofile.com

The responsible party is the natural or legal person who alone or jointly with others decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g., names, email addresses, etc.).

Revocation of your consent to data processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke consent you have already given at any time. An informal message by email to us is sufficient for this. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

Right to data portability

You have the right to have data that we process automatically based on your consent or in fulfillment of a contract handed over to you or a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another responsible party, this will only be done to the extent that it is technically feasible.

SSL or TLS encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries that you send to us as the site operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in your browser line.

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

Information, blocking, deletion

Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to free information about your stored personal data, their origin and recipient, and the purpose of data processing and, if applicable, a right to correction, blocking, or deletion of this data. For this as well as for further questions on the subject of personal data, you can contact us at any time at the address given in the legal notice.

3. Data Collection on Our Website

Cookies

Our internet pages partially use so-called cookies. Cookies do not damage your computer and do not contain viruses. Cookies serve to make our offer more user-friendly, effective, and secure. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and saved by your browser.

Most of the cookies we use are so-called "session cookies." They are automatically deleted after your visit ends. Other cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. These cookies enable us to recognize your browser on your next visit.

You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. When cookies are deactivated, the functionality of this website may be limited.

Cookies that are necessary for carrying out the electronic communication process or for providing certain functions you desire (e.g., shopping cart function) are stored on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. Insofar as other cookies (e.g., cookies for analyzing your surfing behavior) are stored, these are treated separately in this privacy policy.

Server log files

The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:

• Browser type and browser version
• Operating system used
• Referrer URL
• Hostname of the accessing computer
• Time of server request
• IP address

This data is not combined with other data sources.

The basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the fulfillment of a contract or pre-contractual measures.

Contact form

If you send us inquiries via the contact form, your details from the inquiry form, including the contact data you provide there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We do not pass on this data without your consent.

The processing of the data entered into the contact form is therefore carried out exclusively on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You can revoke this consent at any time. An informal message by email to us is sufficient for this. The legality of the data processing operations carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

The data you enter in the contact form remains with us until you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g., after completion of processing your inquiry). Mandatory legal provisions - especially retention periods - remain unaffected.

4. Social Media

Sharing content via plugins (Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter & Co.)

The content on our pages can be shared in social networks like Facebook, Twitter, or LinkedIn in a data protection-compliant manner. This page uses the eRecht24 Safe Sharing Tool for this purpose. This tool only establishes direct contact between the networks and users when the user actively clicks on one of these buttons.

This tool does not automatically transmit user data to the operators of these platforms. If the user is logged in to one of the social networks, an information window appears when using the social buttons from Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter & Co., in which the user can confirm the text before sending.

Our users can share the content of this page in social networks in a data protection-compliant manner without complete surfing profiles being created by the network operators.

LinkedIn Plugin

Our website uses functions of the LinkedIn network. The provider is LinkedIn Corporation, 2029 Stierlin Court, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

Each time one of our pages containing LinkedIn functions is accessed, a connection to LinkedIn servers is established. LinkedIn is informed that you have visited our internet pages with your IP address. If you click the "Recommend Button" from LinkedIn and are logged in to your LinkedIn account, it is possible for LinkedIn to assign your visit to our website to you and your user account. We point out that we, as the provider of the pages, have no knowledge of the content of the transmitted data or their use by LinkedIn.

Further information can be found in LinkedIn's privacy policy at: https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy.

5. Analytics Tools and Advertising

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

Google Analytics cookies are stored based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior to optimize both its web offering and its advertising.

Browser Plugin

You can prevent the storage of cookies by setting your browser software accordingly; however, we point out that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of this website to their full extent. You can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) to Google and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available under the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en.

6. Plugins and Tools

Vimeo

We use videos from the platform Vimeo on our website. Vimeo is operated by Vimeo, LLC, 555 West 18th Street, New York, New York 10011, USA. With the help of a plugin, we can show you interesting video material directly on our website. This may result in certain data being transmitted from you to Vimeo.

Vimeo is a video platform that was founded in 2004 and has enabled streaming of videos in HD quality since 2007. Since 2015, streaming in 4K Ultra HD has also been possible. The use of the portal is free of charge, but paid content can also be published. Compared to the market leader YouTube, Vimeo primarily focuses on high-quality content in good quality.

What data is stored by Vimeo?
When you visit a page on our website that has an embedded Vimeo video, your browser connects to Vimeo's servers. This results in data transmission. This data is collected, stored and processed on Vimeo's servers. Regardless of whether you have a Vimeo account or not, Vimeo collects data about you. This includes your IP address, technical information about your browser type, your operating system or basic device information. Vimeo also stores information about which website you use the Vimeo service on and what actions (web activities) you perform on our website.

GDPR Compliance:
If you have consented to data from you being processed and stored by embedded Vimeo elements, this consent serves as the legal basis for data processing (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). In principle, your data is also stored and processed on the basis of our legitimate interest (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR) in fast and good communication with you or other customers and business partners. We only use the embedded Vimeo elements if you have given your consent.

Data Transfer to the USA:
Vimeo also processes data from you in the USA, among other places. We point out that, in the opinion of the European Court of Justice, there is currently no adequate level of protection for data transfer to the USA. This can be associated with various risks for the legality and security of data processing.

As a basis for data processing with recipients located in third countries (outside the European Union, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, i.e. especially in the USA) or a data transfer there, Vimeo uses so-called standard contractual clauses (= Art. 46 para. 2 and 3 GDPR). These clauses oblige Vimeo to comply with the European level of data protection when processing your relevant data, even if the data is stored, processed and managed in the USA.

More information about the use of cookies at Vimeo can be found at https://vimeo.com/cookie_policy, and information about data protection at Vimeo can be read at https://vimeo.com/privacy.
