DATA PROCESSING
When you visit our secova website, we collect various data.
This includes, for example, your contact data (name, email address, telephone number, IP address) if you are using our contact forms.
In addition, we record anonymously how visitors move around our website in order to identify website optimizations or errors. To do so, we use tools like Google Analytics and Mouseflow, which are based on JavaScript and cookies. Further details on that can be found in the cookie settings of our website.
If there are interactive buttons of facebook (“like buttons” or others), visitors or “likes” are recorded and saved via this interface.
Generally, we use the aforementioned data exclusively internally for the implementation and fulfilment of services and orders as well as individual customer contact.
We do not transmit data to third parties unless they have a contractual relationship with secova that complies with the GDPR.
At any time, you can ask for the deletion of your stored data. In this case, please contact us.

WEBINARS & ONLINE MEETINGS
We use Zoom to conduct online meetings, webinars or remote maintenance (supplier: Zoom Video Communications, Inc).
Screen contents as well as voice contents are transmitted and, if necessary, recorded or displayed, provided that you have consented through your active participation.
As legal basis for the data processing in connection with Zoom, we refer to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR, as we need the services of Zoom to fulfil our contractual obligations. For webinars, reference is made as well to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) as a pre-contractual measure on request, since a corresponding registration is necessary.
The necessary adequate data protection level with Zoom is guaranteed by measures:
Zoom is certified by the US Department of Commerce under the Privacy Shield Program. Secova has concluded a contract based on the EU standard contract clauses with Zoom.
