Facebook Custom Audience via the pixel process
This website uses the “Facebook Pixel” of Facebook Inc, 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA (“Facebook”). If explicit consent is given, this allows the behaviour of users to be tracked after they have seen or clicked on a Facebook advertisement. This procedure is used to evaluate the effectiveness of Facebook ads for statistical and market research purposes and can help optimise future advertising measures.
The data collected remains anonymous to us, so it does not allow us to draw any conclusions about the identity of the users. However, the data is stored and processed by Facebook so that a connection to the respective user profile is possible and Facebook can use the data for its own advertising purposes, in accordance with the Facebook data usage policy (https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/). You may enable Facebook and its partners to place ads on and off Facebook. A cookie may also be stored on your computer for these purposes. These processing operations will only be carried out if you have given your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) a DSGVO.
Consent to the use of the Facebook Pixel may only be given by users who are older than 13 years of age. If you are younger, we require you to ask your legal guardian for permission.

However, these are not collected without their consent (usually executed within the framework of the settings of their mobile devices). The data may be processed in the USA.

To our knowledge, user data is used by OpenStreetMap solely for the purpose of displaying the map functions and temporarily storing the selected settings.

YouTube
This website uses the YouTube embedding function to display and play videos from the provider “YouTube”, which belongs to Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland (“Google”).
The function displays videos stored on YouTube in an iFrame on the website. The “extended data protection mode” option is activated. As a result, YouTube does not store any information about visitors to the website. Only when you watch a video the information about it is transmitted to YouTube and stored there. Your data may be transmitted to the USA. There is no EU Commission adequacy decision for the USA. The data transfer takes place based on standard contractual clauses which serve as appropriate guarantees for the protection of personal data, viewable at: https://policies.google.com/privacy/frameworks.
The use of cookies or comparable technologies takes place on the basis of § 15 para. 3 p. 1 TMG. The processing of your personal data is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f DSGVO to fulfil our overriding legitimate interest to create a demand-oriented and targeted design of the website.

Chat Software Userlike
TopM Software GmbH uses chat software from the company Userlike UG (liability limited), Probsteigasse 44-46, 50670 Cologne, Germany. You can use the chat as a contact form to chat with our employees almost in real time. When you start the chat, the following personal data is collected:
· Date and time of the call
· browser type/version
· IP address
· operating system used
· URL of previously visited website
· amount of data sent
· and if specified: first name, last name and email address.
Depending on the course of the conversation with our staff, further personal data may be collected when you enter the chat. The nature of this data depends largely on your request or the problem you are presenting to us. The purpose of processing all this data is to provide you with a fast and efficient means of contacting us and thus to improve our customer service.
All our staff have been and will be trained on data protection and how to handle customer data safely and confidentially. All our employees are bound to confidentiality and have signed an addendum in their employee contracts committing them to confidentiality and data protection.
By calling up the website topm.de the chat widget is loaded in the form of a JavaScript file from AWS CloudFront. The chat widget technically represents the source code that is executed on your computer and enables the chat.
In addition, TopM Software GmbH stores the chat history for a period of 365 days. This serves the purpose of sparing you extensive explanations about the history of your enquiry when applicable and assists us in maintaining constant quality control of our chat offer. The processing is therefore permitted in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 letter f of the DSGVO. If you do not wish this, you are welcome to inform us of this using the contact details below. Stored chats will then be deleted by us immediately.
The storage of chat data also serves the purpose of ensuring the security of our information technology systems. This is also our legitimate interest, which is why the processing is permissible under Art. 6 (1) f DSGVO.
For further information, please refer to the data protection policy of Userlike UG (liability limited).
Data protection information for online meetings, telephone conferences and webinars via “Zoom” TopM Software GmbH
We would like to inform you below about the processing of personal data in connection with the use of “Zoom”.
Purpose of processing
We use the tool “Zoom” to conduct telephone conferences, online meetings, video conferences and/or webinars (hereinafter: “online meetings”). “Zoom” is a service provided by Zoom Video Communications, Inc. which is based in the USA.
Responsible Party
The responsible party for data processing directly related to the implementation of “Online Meetings” is TopM Software GmbH.
Note: If you call up the “Zoom” website, the provider of “Zoom” is responsible for data processing. However, calling up the website is only necessary for using “Zoom” to download the software for using “Zoom”.
You can also use “Zoom” if you enter the respective meeting ID and, if applicable, further access data for the meeting directly in the “Zoom” app.
If you do not want to or cannot use the “Zoom” app, the basic functions can also be used via a browser version, which you can also find on the “Zoom” website.
What data is processed?
Various types of data are processed when using “Zoom”. The scope of the data also depends on the data you provide before or during participation in an “online meeting”.
The following personal data is subject to processing:
· User details: first name, last name, telephone (optional), e-mail address, password (if “single sign-on” is not used), profile picture (optional),
· Department (optional)
· Meeting metadata: topic, description (optional), participant IP addresses, device/hardware information.
· For recordings (optional): MP4 file of all videos, audios and presentation recordings, M4A file of all audio recordings, text file of online meeting chat.
· For dial-in with the telephone: information on the incoming and outgoing call number, country name, start and end time. If necessary, further connection data such as the IP address of the device can be stored.
· Text, audio and video data: You may have the opportunity to use the chat, question, or survey functions in an “online meeting”. In this respect, the text entries you make are processed to display them in the “online meeting” and, if necessary, to record them. To enable the display of video and the playback of audio, the data from the microphone of your terminal device and from any video camera of the terminal device are processed accordingly during the meeting. You can switch off or mute the camera or microphone yourself at any time via the “Zoom” applications.
· To participate in an “online meeting” or to enter the “meeting room”, you must at least enter your name.
Scope of processing
We use “Zoom” to conduct “online meetings”. If we want to record “online meetings”, we will transparently inform you in advance and when necessary, also ask for consent. The fact that it is being recorded will also be displayed to you in the “Zoom” app.
If it is necessary to log the results of an online meeting, we will log the chat content. However, this is not usually the case.
In the case of webinars, we may also process questions asked by webinar participants for the purposes of recording and following up the webinars.
If you are registered as a user with “Zoom”, then reports on “online meetings” (meeting metadata, telephone dial-in data, questions and answers in webinars, survey function in webinars) may be stored by “Zoom” for up to one month.
Automated decision-making within the meaning of art. 22 DSGVO is not used.
Legal basis for data processing
With regards to the processing of personal data of TopM Software GmbH employees, § 26 BDSG is the legal basis for the data processing. If, in connection with the use of “Zoom”, personal data is not required for the establishment, implementation or termination of the employment relationship, but is nevertheless an elementary component of the use of “Zoom”, the legal basis for data processing is article 6 (1) (f) DSGVO. In these cases, our interest lies in the effective implementation of “online meetings”.
Otherwise, the legal basis for data processing when conducting “online meetings” is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) DSGVO, insofar as the meetings are conducted within the framework of contractual relationships.
If there is no contractual relationship, the legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) DSGVO. Here, too, our interest is in the effective conduct of “online meetings”.
Recipients / passing on of data
Personal data processed in connection with participation in “online meetings” will not be passed on to third parties as a matter of principle, unless they are specifically intended to be passed on. Please note that the content of “online meetings”, as well as personal meetings, is often used to communicate information with customers, interested parties or third parties and is therefore intended to be passed on.
Other recipients: The provider of “Zoom” necessarily receives knowledge of the above-mentioned data insofar as this is provided for in the context of our order processing agreement with “Zoom”.
Data processing outside the European Union
“Zoom” is a service provided by a provider from the USA. Processing of personal data therefore also takes place in a third country. We have concluded an order processing agreement with the provider of “Zoom” which complies with the requirements of article 28 DSGVO.
An appropriate level of data protection is guaranteed on the one hand by the conclusion of the so-called EU standard contractual clauses. As additional protective measures, we have also configured our Zoom system in such a way that only data centres in the EU, the EEA or secure third countries such as Canada or Japan are used to conduct “online meetings”.
Rights of the user: information, correction and deletion
As a user, you can request information free of charge about which personal data has been stored about you. Provided that your request does not conflict with a legal obligation to store data (e.g., data retention), you have the right to have incorrect data corrected and to have your personal data blocked or deleted.
Storage period
The data will only be stored within the legally permissible periods. Afterwards, the data is automatically deleted.
Disclosure to third parties
The data collected will not be passed on to third parties, except in the context of order processing by the website’s host for example. There is no transfer to a third country or an international organisation.

You have the right to complain to the competent supervisory authority. The supervisory authority responsible for TopM is the Bavarian State Office for Data Protection Supervision (BayLDA): https://www.lda.bayern.de/
