The development of the website was conceptualized with the maxim to collect as little data as possible from you. Basically, it is possible to visit our website without providing personal information. Only when you choose to use certain services (such as the contact form) will the processing of personal data become necessary. When doing so, we always take care to process your personal data only in accordance with the legal regulations or your consent. We comply with the provisions of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) applicable from 25.5.2018 and the applicable national regulations, such as the German Federal Data Protection Act, the German Teleservices Act or other more specific data protection laws.
Please note that our products and services as well as the contents of this website are directed at commercial and industrial addressees.
The terms used in this Privacy Policy have the following meaning in accordance with the GDPR.
“Personal data” means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (‘the data subject’); a natural person is considered as being identifiable, directly or indirectly, in particular by means of an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or one or more special characteristics expressing the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of this natural person;
“Processing”means any operation or series of operations performed with or without the aid of automated processes, such as collecting, organizing, storing, adapting or modifying, reading, querying, disclosure by submission, dissemination or any other form of provision, reconciliation or association, restriction, erasure or destruction;
“Restriction of processing”means the marking of stored personal data in order to limit its future processing;
“Pseudonymization”means the processing of personal data in such a way that the personal data can no longer be assigned to a specific data subject without additional information being provided, provided that such additional information is kept separate and subject to technical and organizational measures to ensure that the personal data cannot be assigned to an identified or identifiable natural person;
“Controller” means the natural or legal person, public authority, body or other party that alone or jointly with others decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data; where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union law or the law of the Member States, the controller or, as the case may be, the specific criteria of his appointment may be provided for under Union or national law;
“Processor” means a natural or legal person, public authority, body or party that processes personal data on behalf of the controller;
“Recipient” means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other entity to whom personal data are disclosed, whether or not it is a third party. However, authorities which may receive personal data under Union or national law in connection with a particular mission are not considered to be recipients; the processing of such data by the said authorities shall be in accordance with the applicable data protection rules in accordance with the purposes of the processing;
“Third party” means a natural or legal person, public authority, institution or body other than the data subject, the controller, the processor and the persons authorized under the direct responsibility of the controller or processor to process the personal data;

The personal data you provide and its contents remain solely with us and our affiliates. We will store and process your data only for the purposes stated in 5. Any use exceeding the stated purpose requires your express consent. The same applies to the transmission and transfer of your data to third parties.
The web server temporarily records the connection data of the requesting computer (IP address), the pages you visit with us, the date and duration of the visit, the recognition data of the browser and operating system type used, the website from which you visit us and the successful retrieval in log files.

The data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by you.
Subject to any legal retention requirements, we will delete or anonymize your IP address after you leave our website.

Can I control the use of Cookies?
If you do not wish to use browser cookies, you can set your browser so that the storage of cookies is not accepted. Please note that in this case you may be able to use our website only partially or not at all. If you only want to accept our own cookies, but not the cookies of our service providers and partners, you can choose the setting in your browser "block third-party cookies". We assume no responsibility for the use of third party cookies.
Our website uses content and services of third parties. These are, for example, videos provided by Vimeo. In order for these data to be accessed and displayed in the user’s browser, the transmission of the IP address is absolutely necessary. The providers (hereinafter referred to as "third-party providers") thus are aware of the IP address of the respective user.
Although we strive to use only third-party providers who solely need the IP address to deliver content, we have no control over whether the IP address may be stored. This process might be used, inter alia, for statistical purposes. If we become aware that the IP address is being stored, we will inform you.
Use of HubSpot
This website uses HubSpot for customer coordination and marketing activities. HubSpot Inc. is a software company in the USA (https://www.hubspot.com/, 25 First Street, 2nd Floor, Cambridge, MA 02141 USA) We use this integrated software solution for our own marketing, lead generation and customer service purposes. These include email marketing, which controls the sending of newsletters and automated mailings, social media publishing and reporting, contact management such as user segmentation and CRM, landing pages and contact forms. HubSpot uses cookies, which are small text files that are stored locally in the cache of your web browser on your device and allow us to analyze your use of the site. The information collected (e.g., IP address, geographic location, browser type, length of visit and pages viewed) is analyzed by HubSpot on our behalf so that we can generate reports about the visit and the pages visited. Information collected by HubSpot and the content of our websites solutions.reg.tech, knowledge.reg.tech and email.reg.tech is stored on servers of HubSpot’s service providers. If you have given your consent (Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR), the processing on these websites is for the purpose of website analysis.
HubSpot’s tracking code sets a number of tracking cookies when a visitor lands on our website. These cookies have different lifetimes. Some may remain valid for up to 2 years while others expire at the end of the session.
You can permanently object to the collection of data by HubSpot and the setting of cookies by preventing the storage of cookies through your browser settings. For more information about how HubSpot works, please refer to HubSpot’s Product Privacy Policy, available at https://legal.hubspot.com/product-privacy-policy.
Use of Vimeo
For the integration and presentation of video content, our website uses plugins from Vimeo. Provider of the video portal is the Vimeo Inc., 555 West 18th Street, New York, New York 10011, USA.
When a page with integrated Vimeo plugin is viewed, a connection to the servers of Vimeo is established. Vimeo learns by this which of our pages you have viewed. Vimeo learns your IP address, even if you are not logged in to the Vimeo portal or do not have an account there. The information collected by Vimeo is transmitted to servers of the video portal in the USA. Vimeo can assign your surfing behavior directly to your personal profile. By logging out beforehand you have the option of preventing this. The use of Vimeo is in the interest of an attractive presentation of our online offers. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO.
For details on how user information is handled, see the Vimeo Privacy Policy.
Use of YouTube
For the integration and presentation of video content, our website uses plugins from the Google-powered YouTube page. Provider of the video portal is the YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave, San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. When you visit a page with an integrated YouTube plug-in, it will connect to YouTube’s servers.
YouTube will find out which of our sites you’ve visited. YouTube can directly map your browsing behavior to your personal profile, should you be logged into your YouTube account. By logging out beforehand you have the option to prevent this.
The use of YouTube is in the interest of an attractive presentation of our online offers. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO.
For details on how user information is handled, please refer to the YouTube Privacy Policy.
Unfortunately, the transmission of information over the Internet is never 100% secure, which is why we can not guarantee the security of data transmitted via the Internet to our website.
However, we secure our website through technical and organizational measures against loss, destruction, access, modification or dissemination of your data by unauthorized persons.
In particular, your personal data is encrypted with us. We use the SSL / TLS (Secure Sockets Layer / Transport Layer Security) coding system. Our security measures are continuously improved in line with technological developments.
You can contact us by e-mail or via our contact form. In this case, we will store the personal data you provide to process your request and to contact you with respect to your request. These data will be transmitted to us on a purely voluntary basis. A passing on of the personal data communicated to us in this way to third parties does not take place.
The information for contacting us can be found above in this privacy policy and in our imprint.
Insofar as you are the affected person according to Art. 4 No. 1 DSGVO, you have the following rights regarding the processing of your personal data under the GDPR. The EU regulation text that these rights are based on can be found here.
Right to Confirmation and Information
Under the preconditions of Art. 15 DSGVO you have the right to request a confirmation as to whether personal data of you are being processed and at any time, free of charge, to receive information from the controller regarding the personal data stored about you and a copy of these data.
Right to Rectification
Under the conditions of Art. 16 DSGVO you have the right to demand the immediate correction of incorrect personal data concerning you. In addition, you have the right, under consideration of the purposes of the processing, to demand the completion of incomplete personal data, also by means of a supplementary declaration.
Right of Deletion
Under the preconditions of Art. 17 GDPR, you have the right to demand that personal data concerning you be deleted without delay, provided that one of the reasons stated in Art. 17 GDPR exists and the processing is not required.
Right to Restriction of Processing
Under the conditions of Art. 18 GDPR, you have the right to demand the restriction of processing if one of the conditions set out in Art. 18 GDPR exists.
Right to Data Portability
Under the conditions of Art. 20 GDPR, you have the right to receive the personal data you have provided us in a structured, common and machine-readable format, and you have the right to transfer this data to another person without hindrance provided that the further requirements of Article 20 GDPR are met.
Right to Revoke Consent
You have the right to withdraw your consent to the processing of personal data at any time with future effect. The revocation should be directed to the above contact details.
Right of Objection
Under the conditions of Art. 21 GDPR you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data. If the conditions for an effective contradiction exist, we may no longer process them.
Right of Appeal to a Supervisory Authority
Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your residence, employment or the place of the alleged infringement, if you believe that the processing of your personal data is violating the requirements of the DSGVO.
The transfer of your personal data takes place as described below.
The website is hosted by an external service provider in Germany. In doing so, we ensure that data processing takes place in Germany alone. This is necessary for the operation of the website, as well as for the establishment, implementation and execution of the existing user contract and also without your consent.
In addition, disclosure shall take place if we are entitled or obliged to forward data due to statutory provisions and / or official or judicial orders. This may, in particular, be the provision of information for law enforcement purposes, security or enforcement of intellectual property rights.
Insofar as your data is passed on to service providers to the required extent, they will only have access to your personal data to the extent necessary to fulfill their duties. These service providers are obliged to treat your personal data in accordance with the applicable data protection laws, in particular the GDPR.
In addition to the aforementioned circumstances, we will not transmit your data without your consent to third parties. In particular, we do not share personally identifiable information with any third country or international organization.
With regard to the storage period, we delete personal data as soon as their storage is no longer necessary for the fulfillment of the original purpose and there are no longer any statutory retention periods. The statutory retention periods ultimately form the criterion for the final duration of the storage of personal data. After the deadline, the corresponding data will be routinely deleted. If retention periods exist, processing is restricted by blocking the data.
When accessing websites referred to on our website, you may again be asked for information such as name, address, e-mail address, browser properties, etc. This privacy policy does not govern the collection, transfer or handling of personal data by third parties.
Third party service providers may have different and separate terms in dealing with the collection, processing and use of personal data. It is therefore advised to check the websites of third parties about their practice for the handling of personal data before entering personal data.
We are constantly developing our website further to provide you with an ever-improving service. We will always keep this privacy policy up-to-date and adjust it accordingly, if and as far as necessary.
Of course, we will inform you in good time about any changes to this privacy policy. We will do this, e.g. by e-mail to the e-mail address you have given us. In addition, if further consent from you is required for us to handle your data, we will, of course, obtain this from you before such changes take effect.
You can access the latest version of our Privacy Policy at any time on the Internet.
If you have data protection questions, please contact our data protection officer.
