Privacy Policy "Spindle Center" (Last Update as of 05/20/2019)

Protection of personal data is of utmost importance to Innomotics GmbH, Vogelweiherstr. 1-15, 90441 Nuremberg („Innomotics“). Therefore, Innomotics operates Spindle Center (“Web App”) pursuant to valid legal provisions on personal data protection and data security.

 

Data Categories, Processing Purpose, and Legal Basis

Whenever you use the Web App, Innomotics processes the below personal data:

• personal data that you voluntarily provide when using the Web App (e.g. when registering, sending contact queries, etc.), such as given/family names, email addresses, phone numbers, and information transferred for support queries;
• information that your web browser/terminal automatically transfers to us, such as your IP address, device/browser type, websites/web pages you previously accessed, or the date and time of the access.
   

We process your data to:

• enable you to use the Web App services and functions;
• identify you;
• process your queries;
• enforce our Terms of use, assert/defend legal claims, and defend/prevent fraudulent or similar actions, including attacks on our IT infrastructure.
   

Personal data processing is required to fulfill the above purposes; we process your data only if we are legally authorized to do so. Regarding European Union and European Economic Area data protection law, data processing is based on the following, unless expressly provided otherwise during personal data collection:

• executing and fulfilling contracts with you (point (b) of Art. 6(1) GDPR);
• fulfilling Innomotics’ legal duties (point (c) of Art. 6(1) GDPR); or
• protecting Innomotics’ legitimate interests (point (f) of Art. 6(1) GDPR). Innomotics’ legitimate interests generally consist in the processing of your data to offer and operate the Web App. If need be, we will separately notify you of other or deviating legitimate interests prior to data collection.
   

In some cases, we expressly ask you to consent to your data being processed, whereby personal data processing in these cases is legally based on your consent (point (a) of Art. 6(1) GDPR).

 

Authorizations

Certain Web App functions can be used only if the relevant authorizations are granted, whereby “authorizations” means interfaces to your terminal operating system through which the Web App is able to access data that are stored thereon.

The Web App uses the below authorizations:

• storage access: Access to the storage is required to attach files to notes;
   

By setting your operating system accordingly, you can manage and deactivate these authorizations. Please note that authorization deactivation may lead to you no longer being able to use all the Web App functions.

 

Personal Data Transmission/Transfer

If need be, we transmit personal data to:

• other Siemens companies if required for Web App provision and operation or for reacting to your support query;
• service providers, that is, “processors”, such as IT maintenance service providers that process data on behalf and pursuant to instructions of Innomotics and that undertook to comply with valid data protection law;
• (arbitration) courts, authorities, or legal counsels if required to comply with valid laws or for asserting, exercising, or defending legal claims.
   

If you reside in the territory of the European Union and/or the European Economic Area, please note that some recipients are located in countries with laws providing for lower data protection levels compared to that of your home country.
Innomotics will take adequate steps, if required by law, to guarantee adequate and reasonable personal data protection levels in other ways.

• Hence, we transfer your personal data to Siemens companies in these countries only if they implemented the binding personal data protection corporate rules (“BCR”). For more information on the Siemens BCR, please click here.
• We transfer our personal data to recipients outside the Group only if they (i) concluded the EU Standard Contract Clauses with Siemens, (ii) introduced the Binding Corporate Rules, or (iii) – with recipients located in the US – obtained EU/US Privacy Shield certification. For more information and a copy of the measures that we implemented, please refer to dsb@secjur.com.

Storage Periods
