General information and mandatory information Data protection The operators of this site take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy. When you use this website, various personal data are collected. Personal data is data with which you can be personally identified. This privacy policy explains what data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this is done. We point out that data transmission on the Internet (e.g. communication by e-mail) can have security gaps. A complete protection of the data against access by third parties is not possible.

Information on the responsible body The responsible body for data processing on this website is: NBG Cloud Solutions GmbH Christoph-Weiß-Str. 11 90419 Nuremberg Phone: +49 (0) 170 7823778 E-Mail: info@sortful.io. The responsible body is the natural or legal person who, alone or together with others, decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g. names, email addresses, etc.).

Storage duration Unless a more specific storage period has been specified within this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for the data processing ceases to apply. If you assert a legitimate request for deletion or revoke your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted, unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g. tax or commercial storage periods); in the latter case, the deletion will take place after these reasons have ceased to apply.

General notes on the legal bases of data processing on this website If you have given your consent for data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. a DSGVO or Art. 9 (2) lit. a DSGVO, if special categories of data according to Art. 9 (1) DSGVO are processed. In the event of an express consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, the data processing is also based on Art. 49 (1) lit. a DSGVO. The consent can be revoked at any time. If your data is required for the performance of a contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. b DSGVO. Furthermore, we process your data if it is necessary for the fulfillment of a legal obligation, on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. c DSGVO. Data processing can also be based on our legitimate interest according to Art. 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO. You will be informed about the respective legal bases in the following sections of this privacy policy.

Note on data transfer to the USA and other third countries We use tools from companies based in the USA or other non-secure third countries. When these tools are active, your personal data can be transferred to these third countries and processed there. We would like to point out that in these countries there is no guarantee of a level of data protection comparable to that of the EU. For example, U.S. companies are obliged to disclose personal data to security authorities without you as the data subject being able to take legal action against it. It therefore cannot be ruled out that U.S. authorities (e.g. intelligence services) will process, evaluate and permanently store your data stored on U.S. servers for surveillance purposes. We have no influence on these processing activities.

Withdrawal 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. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

Right to object in special cases and to direct marketing (Article 21 DSGVO) If the data processing is based on Art. 6 Abs. 1 Lit. e or f DSGVO, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data at any time for reasons arising from your particular situation; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. The respective legal basis on which a processing is based can be found in this privacy policy. If you object, we will no longer process your affected personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms or the processing serves the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims (objection pursuant to Art. 21 Para. 1 DSGVO). If your personal data is processed for the purpose of direct marketing, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for the purpose of such marketing; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to such direct marketing. If you object, your personal data will subsequently no longer be used for the purpose of direct marketing (objection pursuant to Art. 21 Para. 2 DSGVO).

Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority In the event of violations of the GDPR, the data subjects have a right of appeal to a supervisory authority, in particular in the member state of their usual place of residence, their place of work or the place of the alleged violation. The right of appeal exists without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to data portability You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract, handed over to yourself or to 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 insofar as it is technically feasible.

Information, deletion and correction 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 recipients and the purpose of the data processing and, if applicable, a right to correction or deletion of this data. For this and for further questions on the topic of personal data, you can contact us at any time.

Right to restriction of processing You have the right to demand the restriction of the processing of your personal data. To do this, you can contact us at any time. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases: If you dispute the accuracy of the personal data stored with us, we usually need time to verify this. For the duration of the review, you have the right to demand the restriction of the processing of your personal data. If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you can instead of deletion demand the restriction of data processing. If we no longer need your personal data, but you need them to exercise, defend or enforce legal claims, you have the right to demand the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of deletion. If you have filed an objection pursuant to Art. 21 (1) DSGVO, a balancing of your and our interests must be carried out. As long as it is not yet determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to demand the restriction of the processing of your personal data. If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, these data may - apart from their storage - only be processed with your consent or for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of an important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.

SSL or TLS encryption This site uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries you send to us as the site operator. 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. If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Objection to advertising emails The use of contact data published in the context of the imprint obligation for the transmission of not expressly requested advertising and information materials is hereby objected to. The operators of the pages expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the case of the unsolicited sending of advertising information, such as spam e-mails.

The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing necessary cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services.

You can set your browser to inform you about the setting of cookies and to allow cookies only in individual cases, to exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or generally, and to activate the automatic deletion of cookies when the browser is closed. However, disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.

The data you enter in the contact form will remain 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 your request has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions - in particular statutory retention periods - remain unaffected.

Inquiry by e-mail or telephone If you contact us by e-mail or telephone, your inquiry including all resulting personal data (name, inquiry) will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of processing your request. We will not share this data without your consent. The processing of this data is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. b DSGVO if your inquiry is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of the inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO) or on your consent (Art. 6 (1) lit. a DSGVO) if this has been requested; the consent can be revoked at any time. The data you send to us via contact inquiries will remain 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 your request has been processed).
