3. What kind of data do we use?

We process personal data that we receive from you as a customer or interested party within the framework of our business relationship.  In addition, we process personal data that are transmitted to us by other entities of our group of companies or by other third parties in a permissible manner, to the extent as this is necessary for the provision of our services. Personal data which are necessary for the purpose of processing are personal data (e.g. name, address, other contact data such as telephone number, E-Mail address, birthday, nationality). It may also be order data, data deriving from the fulfilment of our contractual obligations, advertising and sales data, documentation data or data similar to the before mentioned categories.  Data collection and processing must be appropriate and relevant to the purpose and limited to what is necessary for the purpose of the processing. 

4. For what purposes and on what legal basis is the data processed and how long is it stored?

In the following we inform you about the various purposes for which we process personal data that we receive from our customers and interested parties in the course of our business relationships, on which legal basis the data is processed and for how long we store the data:

We only process personal data if this is necessary to provide a functioning website including our contents and services. As a rule, processing only takes place with the consent of the data subject.  An exception applies in those cases where prior consent cannot be obtained for real reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by law. 

If we obtain your consent as data subject for the processing of personal data, Art. 6 (1 a) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is the legal basis for such processing.  Insofar as we have been obtained such consent for certain purposes, which are explained to you in detail and to which you have agreed to, the lawfulness of such processing is given on the basis of this consent. A given consent can be revoked at any time.  This also applies to the revocation of declarations of consent issued to us prior to the validity of the GDPR, i.e. before the 25th of May 2018.  The revocation of the consent does not affect the lawfulness of the data processed until the revocation.  

In case of processing personal data which is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party as a data subject, Art. 6 (1 b) GDPR applies as legal basis. This also applies to such processing that is necessary for the steps, which need to be taken prior to entering into a contract. If the processing of personal data is necessary to comply with a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 (1 c) GDPR is the legal basis.  If vital interests of you as a data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Art. 6 (1 d) GDPR applies. And if processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and if the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of you as the person concerned do not outweigh the former interest, Art. 6 (1 f) GDPR shall apply as the legal basis for processing.

In detail, we collect personal data for the following purposes (including the provision of services against payment):
- Registrations (user accounts);
- Contact forms;
- Conclusion of course and bachelor agreements;
- Registration for workshops and events;
- Sending invitations for appointments;
- Transmission of information and offers on courses and study programmes;
- Competition participations;
- Voluntary surveys (to provide and improve offers and services).

Your data will only be used for marketing, market research and advertising purposes if you have expressly consented to this use or the use is legally permissible.  A given consent can be revoked at any time. This also applies to the revocation of declarations of consent issued to us prior to the validity of the GDPR, i.e. before the 25th of May 2018. The revocation is only effective for the future. The revocation of the consent does not affect the lawfulness of the data processed until the revocation.

In addition, the data help us to optimize the website and to ensure the security of our information technology systems.  An evaluation of the data for marketing purposes does not take place in this context.  These purposes also constitute our legitimate interest in data processing pursuant to Art. 6 (1 f) GDPR.
d) Duration of storage
Personal data will be erased where the personal data are no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which they are collected. If data are collected for the provision of the website, this is the case when the respective session has ended. If the data is stored in log files, this is the case after 30 days at the latest. An extended storage is possible.  In this case, the IP addresses of the users are erased or alienated, so that an assignment of the calling client is no longer possible.

8. Performance of contractual obligations 

a) Description and scope of data processing
In this case, the processing of data takes place in order to provide services in course of the performance of our contracts with our customers or for taking steps prior to entering into a contract, which take place on request.  The purposes of data processing are primarily based on the specific product (individual course agreement, training course agreement, diploma course agreement, bachelor course agreement, workshops, etc.) and, in addition to carrying out the corresponding teaching and examination services, include advising and supporting the participants in the respective specialist area and location.

c) Purpose of data processing
The data is used for the execution or performance of the contract, i.e. as a rule for the provision of the contractually owed teaching and examination management including the consultation and support of the customers and, if necessary, for the performance of seminars and workshops, to the extent as these have also been agreed or are part of the contract.
d) Duration of storage
Personal data will be erased where the personal data are no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which they are collected. With regard to the conclusion of a contract with you, this applies to the performance of a contract or to the implementation of pre-contractual measures, provided that the data is no longer required for the execution of the contract. Even after conclusion of the contract, it may still be necessary to store personal data of the contractual partner in order to fulfil contractual or legal obligations. Perpetual obligations require the storage of personal data during the term of the contract. In addition, course/examination-related additional periods must be observed as well as the storage of data for tax purposes. Which storage periods are to be observed cannot be determined across-the-board, but must be determined for the contracts and contractual parties concluded in each individual case.
e) Right of objection and erasure

The customer is entitled to a cooling-off period of 14 days, which starts on the day that s/he signs and sends in/hands over the course agreement to United POP B.V.. If the customer did not sign the document, the cooling-off period starts at the moment that United POP B.V. has confirmed the reception of the course agreement.

During the cooling-off period customer is entitled to cancel the course agreement. The instructions on objection and the consequences of objection are set out in the respective contract.

10. Is automated individual decision making and/or profiling implemented?

12. What are the consequences of not providing personal data?

As part of our business relationship, you as customer/prospective customer must provide personal data required for the establishment and execution of a business relationship of your choice and the performance of the associated contractual obligations or such personal data, which we are required to collect by law. Without this information, we will generally not be able to conclude the contract or to perform the contract or service. 

13. How long are personal data stored and will the data be erased?

We commit ourselves to the principles of data avoidance and data minimization. Insofar as the storage and erasure of personal data of a data subject has not already been explained above, we like to point out that personal data will be erased or blocked as soon as the purpose of the storage, which originates from a contractual or statutory obligation, ceases to apply, i.e. your personal data will only be stored as long as the respective purpose lasts, in the case of a contractual relationship only during the contract period. If the data are no longer required for the performance of contractual or statutory obligations, they are regularly deleted in accordance with the statutory provisions. In exceptional cases, data may also be stored if this has been provided for by European or national legislators in EU regulations, laws or other provisions. The data will also be blocked or erased if a storage period determined by the aforementioned standards expires, unless a further storage of the data for the conclusion or performance of a contract is necessary.

14. Who receives personal customer data? 

Insofar as you have made personal data available to us, such data will only be passed on or otherwise transmitted by us if this is necessary for the purpose of contract processing, in particular for the disclosure of order/contract data or for billing purposes, or if you have previously consented to the onward transfer or the disclosure is required by law (in particular, onward transfers to state authorities). A given consent can be revoked at any time. This also applies to the revocation of declarations of consent issued to us prior to the validity of the GDPR, i.e. before the 25th of May 2018. The revocation is only effective for the future. The revocation of the consent does not affect the lawfulness of the data processed until the revocation.
Within our company, only those departments obtain access to customer data as necessary to fulfil our contractual and legal obligations. In addition, service providers and vicarious agents employed by us may also receive data for such purposes if they process the personal data transmitted to them exclusively in accordance with the given data protection regulations and within the factual and temporal framework of the respective order and in accordance with instructions from us as customer. They may not use the provided data for any other purposes and are obliged to take technical and organisational measures required by law to adequately protect the data transmitted by us.

17. Information about Google Analytics

(1) This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. (”Google”). The use is based on Art. 6 (1), Sentence 1 (f) GDPR. Google Analytics uses “cookies”, which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyse how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie such as
- Browser type/version,
- Operating system used,
- Referrer URL (the previously visited page),
- Host name of the accessing computer (IP address),
- Time of the server request,

is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and will be stored there. The IP address transmitted by Google Analytics from your browser will not be merged with other data of Google. We have also added the code "anonymizeIP" to Google Analytics on this website. This guarantees that your IP address is masked so that all data is collected anonymously. Only in exceptional cases the complete IP address will be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there.
On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activities and to provide the website operator with further services associated with website and Internet use. You may prevent the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser, however please note that if you do this you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website.
You can also prevent the collection of the data generated by the cookie from Google and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) to Google and the processing of these data by Google if you download and install the subsequent browser plug-in: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de. As an alternative to the browser add-on, especially for browsers on mobile devices, you can also prevent Google Analytics from collecting data by clicking on this link. An opt-out cookie is set to prevent future collection of your data when you visit this website. The opt-out cookie only works in this browser and only for our website and is stored on your device. If you delete the cookies in this browser, you must set the opt-out cookie again. 
Furthermore, we use Google Analytics to evaluate data from double-click cookies and AdWords for statistical purposes. If you do not wish this, you can deactivate it using the Ads Preferences Manager  (http://www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb/?hl=de).

18. Information about Google Analytics

Our website uses the remarketing function of Google Inc. to present interest-based advertisements to website visitors within the Google advertising network. A “cookie” is stored in the visitor’s browser, which makes it possible to recognize the visitor when he or she visits websites that belong to Google’s advertising network. These pages may contain advertisements that refer to content that the visitor has previously viewed on websites that use Google's remarketing feature.
According to its own statements, Google does not collect any personal data in this process. However, if you do not wish to use Google’s remarketing function, you can always deactivate it by making the appropriate settings at  http://www.google.com/settings/ads. Alternatively, you can disable the use of cookies for interest-based advertising through the Advertising Network Initiative by following the instructions at http://www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp.

19. Information about Google AdWords

Our website uses Google Conversion Tracking. If you have reached our website via an ad placed by Google, Google Adwords sets a cookie on your computer. The conversion tracking cookie is set when a user clicks on an advertisement served by Google. These cookies expire after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. If the user visits certain pages of our website and the cookie has not yet expired, we and Google can see that the user has clicked on the ad and has been redirected to this page. Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. Cookies cannot therefore be traced through the websites of AdWords customers. The information collected using the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers see the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, you will not receive any information that personally identifies users.
If you do not wish to participate in tracking, you can refuse the setting of a cookie required for this - for example via browser settings that generally deactivate the automatic setting of cookies or set your browser so that cookies are blocked by the "googleleadservices.com" domain.
Please note that you may not delete the opt-out cookies as long as you do not wish measurement data to be recorded. If you have deleted all your cookies in your browser, you must set the respective opt-out cookie again.

20. Information on using script libraries (Google Web Fonts)

To present our contents correctly and graphically appealing across all browsers, we use script libraries and font libraries such as Google Web Fonts (https://www.google.com/webfonts/). Google Web Fonts are transferred to your browser's cache to avoid multiple loading. If your browser does not support Google Web Fonts or does not allow access, content will be displayed in a default font.
Calling script libraries or font libraries automatically triggers a connection to the library operator. In theory, it is possible - but currently also unclear whether and, if so, for what purposes - that operators of corresponding libraries collect data.
The privacy policy of the library operator Google can be accessed here:
https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/

21. Information on embedded YouTube videos

We embed YouTube videos on some of our websites. YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA is the operator of the corresponding plug-ins.

If you are logged into your Youtube account, Youtube can assign your surfing behaviour to you personally. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account beforehand.
If a YouTube video is started, the provider uses cookies that collect information about user behaviour.
If you have deactivated the storage of cookies for the Google Ad programme, you will not have to reckon with such cookies when viewing YouTube videos. Youtube also stores non-personal usage information in other cookies. If you want to prevent this, you must block the storage of cookies in your browser.
More information on data protection at “Youtube” can be found in the provider’s privacy policy under: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/ 

22. Information on the use of Bings Ads

Bing Universal Event Tracking (UET) 
Data is collected and stored on our website using Bing Ads technologies, from which user profiles are created using pseudonyms. This is a service of Microsoft Corporation, One Microsoft Way, Redmond, WA 98052-6399, USA. This service enables us to track the activities of users on our website when they come to our website via ads from Bing Ads. If you access our website via such an advertisement, a cookie is placed on your computer. A Bing UET tag is integrated on our website. This is a code used in connection with the cookie to store some non-personal data about the use of the website. This includes the time spent on the website, which areas of the website were called up and via which display the users accessed the website. Information about your identity is not collected.
The information collected is transmitted to Microsoft servers in the United States and stored there for a maximum of 180 days. You can prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website and the processing of this data by deactivating the setting of cookies. This may restrict the functionality of the website.

23. Facebook Pixel

Within the framework of our Internet presentation, we use the “Facebook Pixel” of the social network Facebook, 1601 South California Avenue, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA. So-called tracking pixels are integrated on our pages. When you visit our pages, the pixel-code establishes a direct connection between your browser and the Facebook server. 
Among other things, Facebook receives information from your browser,e.g. that our page has been called up by your terminal device. If you are a Facebook user, Facebook can assign your visit to our pages with your user account. We would like to point out that, as the provider of the pages, we have no knowledge of the content of the data transmitted by Facebook or of their use. We can only choose which segments of Facebook users (such as age, interests) our advertising should be displayed.
By calling up the pixel from your browser, Facebook can also recognize whether a Facebook ad was successful, e.g. whether it led to an online purchase. This enables us to measure the effectiveness of Facebook ads for statistical and market research purposes.

Please click here if you do not wish to have data collected via Facebook pixels: https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=ads#_=._
Alternatively, you can deactivate the Facebook Pixel on the Digital Advertising Alliance page using the following link: http://www.aboutads.info/choices/.

The transfer of data to the USA is permitted according to Art. 45 GDPR, as Facebook Privacy Shield is certified and therefore has an adequate level of data protection according to the Commission Implementing Decision  (EU) 2016/1250 (http://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/DE/TXT/HTML/?uri=CELEX:32016D1250&from=DE). 

The certification can be seen under https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt0000000GnywAAC&status=Active

Legal basis is a legitimate interest as referred to in Art. 6 (sentence 1 (1f)) GDPR, here the processing is necessary for the pursuit of our business purposes and the targeted advertising of our services.
