For more information and contact details, please consult the legal notice of this website: https://www.euspaceimaging.com/imprint.

This Privacy Policy applies only to our services. We may provide links to websites and services of third parties. Please refer to their respective Privacy Policies.

2 GENERAL PURPOSES OF DATA PROCESSING

We process your personal data for offering our products and services, concluding respective contracts, and fulfilling them. The processing of personal data on our website is aimed at operating the website, informing of our products and services, as well as generally informing about our company.

3 THE DATA WE PROCESS AND WHY WE DO THAT

3.1 Data to establish contracts and comply with our duties thereunder

To process orders, verify your identity, send an invoice, and issue a license, the following data will be processed:

• • First Name of employee ordering,
  • Family Name of employee ordering,
  • Company’s name, Branch of Company ordering,
  • Email addresses,
  • Phone number,
  • Street name,
  • Zip Code,
  • City,
  •  Country.

In some cases, we will process additional data that we will request accordingly.

The legal basis for the processing of those data is Art. 6 (1) b) GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation).

3.2  Denied Party Screening and other Compliance Checks

We are also obliged by applicable laws and regulations to perform a Denied Party Screening (DPS) and/or similar compliance checks. This way we make sure not to violate any export control regulations and to not enter into any contracts with entities that are on sanctioned party and/or restricted party lists.  

The partners from whom we source assets may be required to perform such screening or compliance check as well. We will provide the necessary data for this purpose. Please learn more in the section “Data Transfers“.

The legal basis for the processing of those data is Art. 6 (1) b) GDPR, as we are not able to process your request otherwise, and Art. 6 (1) c) GDPR as we are under legal obligation to process your personal data accordingly.

3.3 Customer Support

When you request customer service, we will process the data necessary to handle your request. Depending on the request, it may also be necessary to collect further data for this purpose. We will make an entry in our computer systems to track the matter.

To the extent that your request involves assets that we have obtained from third parties, we may request data from them and merge such data with the data we hold.  

The legal basis for the processing of those data is Art. 6 (1) b) GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation).

3.4 Hosting and access data

We collect data to deliver our website and other electronic services in the correct format and to improve the structure and user convenience of our website. This may be information on which browser was used, which subpages were visited, the referrer (the website from which you got to our offers), date and time of the page impression, the device used (e.g. mobile device or computer), the screen resolution used, operating system, and similar data.

Where we use access data to improve our offer (analysis of user behavior, identification of problems using the page etc.), we will use the data in an aggregate form without reference to specific individuals.

The legal basis for the data processing in these cases is our legitimate interests as set out above, Art. 6 (1) f) GDPR.

3.5 Newsletter and advertisement

With your consent or with a legal permit, we send out newsletters with company and product information, notices on promotional offers, press releases and similar contents.

To subscribe to the newsletter, the data requested in the subscription process are required. The newsletter subscription is recorded in a protocol. After the subscription, you receive a message at the indicated email address asking you to confirm the subscription (“Double Opt-in”). This is necessary to avoid that third parties can subscribe with your email address.

You may withdraw your consent to the receipt of newsletters at any time, thus unsubscribing from the newsletter.

We store the subscription data as long as they are needed for sending the newsletter. We store the recording of the subscription and the destination address as long as there is an interest in preserving evidence of the initially given consent; as a rule, this is done for periods equivalent to the periods of limitation for civil-law claims, i.e. for a maximum of three years.

The legal basis for sending the newsletter is your consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) a), Art. 7 GDPR in combination with sec. 7 para. 2 no. 3 UWG (German Unfair Competition Act) or the legal permission pursuant to sec. 7 para. 3 UWG. The legal basis for recording the subscription is our legitimate interest in the evidence that the newsletter was sent with your consent, Art. 6 (1) f) GDPR.

We use the MailChimp service as a technical platform for sending our newsletters as well as press releases.

The provider of this service is The Rocket Science Group, LLC, 675 Ponce de Leon Ave NE, Suite 5000, Atlanta, GA 30308 USA. European Space Imaging and MailChimp are parties to a Data Protection Agreement incorporating the EU-SCC (Standard Contractual Clauses) according to Art. 46 Sec II lit c) GDPR.

For more information on data protection at MailChimp, please refer to the corresponding privacy policy: https://mailchimp.com/legal/privacy/

The service provider is used in accordance with our legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6 (1) f) GDPR and a processing contract pursuant to Art. 28 (3) sentence 1 GDPR.

3.6 Establishment of contact

When you establish contact with us, e.g. by way of the contact form, email or telephone, we will process the data required to handle the request. To this end, an entry in our computer systems will be made, if applicable.

We erase such data once they are no longer required, provided that they are not subject to any statutory periods of retention.

The legal basis for such data processing is the implementation of pre-contractual measures based on your request or – if you are our customer already – the performance of the contract, Art. 6 (1) b) GDPR.

4 CONTENTS OF THIRD PARTIES & DATA TRANSFERS

4.1 Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics, a web analyzer service of Google Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics allows us to analyze how you use our website.
