Last Updated: Jan 2023
How do we process personal data?
We save and use your personal data only to process your orders and to get in touch with you. If you subscribe to our newsletter, we also use your email address to send the newsletter to you. We will automatically send you status messages from [email protected] if you have previously changed your settings on our customer administration interface in which you request these messages. We also save and process data that job applicants provide us as part of the job application process.
What categories of data do we collect?
Every time you visit our website, your IP address and other pieces of information are saved in anonymized form. If you register an account with us, your contact information will be stored. If you order products from us, your address and payment information will also be stored.
In particular, we save the following data from you.
Registration data
When you register an account with us, we collect and process certain personal data from you as your registration data. For example, we need your name, address information, telephone number, payment information and your email address to process your order. If you pay using a credit card, we do not collect and store any payment information such as credit card numbers or verification codes. You disclose this information only to the respective payment service provider. One exception with credit card payments is what is known as the pseudo card number: in order for you not to have to enter your credit card information for every payment, a pseudo card number is saved for your account. The pseudo card number only enables payment for products on our website that you order using your customer account. A pseudo card number is not identical to the credit card number. We delete all your registration data either: within 24 months, as soon as you delete your user account with us, or once the statutory retention period expires. You can delete your user account with us by sending an email to [email protected] with your deletion request. The legal basis for this data processing is Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR.
Email addresses
We use the double opt-in method to ensure that you actually want to receive the newsletter. If you go through this process, you agree to receive the newsletter and to be added to the mailing list for it, and then you will receive a confirmation email that will allow you to legally confirm that you have registered for the newsletter. We will only add your name to the mailing list if you actually complete the confirmation.
We use these data exclusively for sending information that you request including information about our new offers.
We use Brevo as our newsletter software. So if you agree to register for the newsletter, we will send your data to Sendinblue GmbH. Brevo is prohibited from selling your data and from using it for purposes other than sending our newsletter. Brevo is a German certified provider whom we chose because they must comply with the requirements of the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG).

You can revoke your consent at any time to the storage of your personal data (including your email address) and to the use of your data. You can do this, for example, by clicking on the “Unsubscribe” link in the newsletter. The legal basis for processing your data for the above purpose is Art. 6 (1) lit. a or Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR.
Server log files
Whenever you visit our websites, we automatically store certain data. This includes your IP address, type and version of the browser you use, and the time, date, and website from which you come to our site. Your IP address is saved in an anonymized manner. You can then no longer be identified. The legal basis for this data process is Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR.
Forum
If you register for our online discussion forum, we save your username and email address. After you delete your account in the forum, this saved data will also be deleted. The legal basis for this data processing is Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR.
Career portal
If you send us job application documents such as your resume, references and cover letter, we will save and process these pieces of data. Application documents from job applicants that do not result in hires are deleted after 6 months. If you wish to be considered for future job openings and you consent to a longer storage period, your application documents will be deleted after 24 months. With applications that result in hires, the documents are forwarded to our HR department. The legal basis for the processing of your personal data in the job application process is Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR.
Sweepstakes
We sometimes have sweepstakes on our websites for various occasions. If you choose to participate in the sweepstakes, we save your first and last names, your email address and, if applicable, the country you come from. We use the collected data only to process the sweepstakes. Once the sweepstakes end and the winner or winners are chosen and notified, the collected data are deleted. The legal basis for this data processing is Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR.

Cookies and the right to object to direct advertising
“Cookies” are small files that are stored on a user’s computer. Cookies can store different kinds of data. Cookies are primarily used to store information about users. They are stored on the users’ devices during and/or after users visit a website or online store. “Temporary cookies”, “session cookies”, or “transient cookies” are cookies that are deleted after users leave an online store and close their browsers. With such cookies, for example, the content of a shopping basket can be stored in an online shop or a login bottleneck. However, other cookies are referred to as “permanent” or “persistent” and remain stored even after the browser is closed. For example, users’ login status can be saved when they visit a shop after several days. Likewise, permanent cookies can measure the “range” of a website (where the users are geographically located) or information on the users’ interests. This information is used for marketing purposes. “Third-party cookies” are cookies that are offered by the original providers (who operate the online store or website) to other parties. (If the original provider is the one using the cookies, they are often called “first-party cookies”). It is useful to know the above terms so that you understand our cookie policies and data protection agreement. If, as an Illevante Cloud customer or as a visitor to our websites or interfaces, you do not wish cookies to be stored on your computer, we ask you to deactivate the corresponding option in the system settings of your browser. You can also delete stored cookies in the system settings of your browser. However, if you do these things, it will likely lead to problems when you try to use Illevante Cloud websites and interfaces. If you would like to opt out of the use of cookies for online marketing and tracking purposes, you may be interested these two sites to help you:
1) the US site http://www.aboutads.info/choices/
2) the EU site http://www.youronlinechoices.com/
Furthermore, you can deactivate cookies from being stored on your computer or device by changing your browser settings. However, if you do this, it will likely lead to problems when you try to use Illevante Cloud websites, interfaces, and features on the interfaces.

We use Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, among others. When visiting each of these platforms, you as a user agree to the terms and conditions and the data processing guidelines of the corresponding operator.
Unless stated otherwise in our data privacy notice, we process user data if users communicate with us on these social networks and platforms, e.g. publish posts on our pages or send us messages.
We at Illevante Cloud process users’ data only when it is in the customer’s legitimate interest for us to do so in accordance with Art. 6, (1) lit. b GDPR. As a company, we have a legal right to obtain general customer information to use in customer accounts. We also use customers’ data for communication purposes. If any of the providers below request users for consent for processing their data, the legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a. GDPR.
Live-advisory via live chat
We use live chat to provide technical support for some customers. Every time that a customer accesses this chat support service from our website, we collect and store data from the chat for web analysis and to actually operate the live chat system itself. This allows us to create user profiles with pseudonyms so that we can operate the chat and analyze visitor behavior. We can also improve our support systems, online shop, and user experience. We run live chat system from our own servers and do not transfer your data to third parties.
If you activate live translation while using this live chat, it will integrate Google Translator.
