Data Policy

Data Policy - MyVerse GmbH

Thank you for your interest in our website and our company. The protection of your personal data during the collection, processing and use on your visit to our homepage is an important concern for us. Your data will be collected and processed in accordance with the provisions of the data protection laws of the Federal Republic of Germany. In the following, we inform you about the type, scope and purpose of the collection and use of personal data. You can access this information at any time on our website.

Collection of general information

When you access our website, information of a general nature is automatically collected. This information (server log files) includes the type of web browser, the operating system used, the domain name of your internet service provider and similar. This is exclusively information that does not allow any conclusions to be drawn about your person. This information is technically necessary in order to correctly deliver the contents of web pages requested by you and is compulsory when using the Internet. Anonymous information of this kind is statistically evaluated by us in order to optimise our website and the technology behind it.

Consent/Cookies

Like many other websites, we also use so-called "cookies". Cookies are small text files that are transferred from a website server to your hard drive. Through this, we automatically receive certain data such as IP address, browser used, operating system about your computer and your connection to the internet.

Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to a computer. The information contained in the cookies allows us to facilitate your navigation and enable the correct display of our web pages.

Under no circumstances will the data we collect be passed on to third parties or linked to personal data without your consent.

Of course, you can also view our website without cookies. Internet browsers are regularly set to accept cookies. You can deactivate the use of cookies at any time via your browser settings. Please use the help functions of your internet browser to find out how to change these settings. Please note that individual functions of our website may not work if you have deactivated the use of cookies.

Registration on our website

When registering to use our personalised services, some personal data is collected, such as name, address, contact and communication data such as telephone number and e-mail address. If you are registered with us, you can access content and services that we only offer to registered users. Registered users also have the option of changing or deleting the data provided during registration at any time, if necessary. Of course, we will also provide you with information about the personal data we have stored about you at any time. We will also be happy to correct or delete this data at your request, provided there are no legal obligations to retain data. To contact us in this context, please use the contact details provided at the end of this data protection declaration.

Provision of chargeable services

For the provision of chargeable services, we will ask for additional data, such as payment details.

SSL encryption

To protect the security of your data during transmission, we use state-of-the-art encryption methods (e.g. SSL) via HTTPS.

Newsletter

When you register to receive our newsletter, the data you provide will be used exclusively for this purpose. We will inform you up to twice a month about current developments in the IT industry. You will receive invitations to events, product information and tips on the topic of digitalisation. Subscribers may also be informed by email about circumstances relevant to the service or registration (for example, changes to the newsletter offering or technical circumstances).

For an effective registration, we require a valid e-mail address. To verify that a registration is made by the owner of an e-mail address, we use the "double-opt-in" procedure. For this purpose, we log the order for the newsletter, the sending of a confirmation e-mail and the receipt of the response requested herewith. No further data is collected. The data is used exclusively for sending the newsletter and is not passed on to third parties.

To tailor the content of our newsletters to the interests of our subscribers, we carry out a performance measurement of each newsletter. This involves measuring how often the newsletter is opened and which links are clicked.

You can revoke your consent to the storage of your personal data and its use for sending the newsletter at any time. There is a link to this effect in every newsletter. You can also inform us of your revocation by e-mail to Info[at]my-verse.io to inform us of your revocation.

Contact Form

If you contact us by e-mail or contact form, the information you provide will be stored for the purpose of processing the enquiry and for possible follow-up questions.

Deletion or blocking of data

We adhere to the principles of data avoidance and data economy. We therefore only store your personal data for as long as is necessary to achieve the purposes stated here or as stipulated by the various storage periods provided for by law. After the respective purpose has ceased to exist or these periods have expired, the corresponding data is routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with the statutory provisions.

Google Fonts (CDN) Content-Delivery-Network

Nature and scope of processing:
We use Google Fonts from Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, as a service to provide fonts for our online offer. To obtain these fonts, you connect to servers of Google Ireland Limited, whereby your IP address is transmitted.

Purpose and legal basis:
The use of Google Fonts is based on our legitimate interests, i.e. interest in a uniform provision as well as the optimisation of our online offer according to para. 6 letter 1 lit. f. GDPR.

Storage period:
The concrete storage period of the processed data cannot be influenced by us, but is determined by Google Ireland Limited. You can find further information in the data protection declaration for Google Fonts: https://policies.google.com/privacy.

Use of YouTube

We use the YouTube.com platform to post our own videos and make them publicly accessible. YouTube is the service of a third party not affiliated with us, namely YouTube LLC.

Some of the Internet pages of our website contain links or connections to the YouTube website. In general, we are not responsible for the content of linked websites. However, if you follow a link to YouTube, we would like to point out that YouTube stores the data of its users (e.g. personal information, IP address) in accordance with its own data usage guidelines and uses it for business purposes.

We also directly embed videos stored on YouTube on some of our Internet pages. With this integration, content from the YouTube website is displayed in parts of a browser window. However, the YouTube videos are only called up by clicking on them separately. This technique is also called "framing". When you call up a (sub-)page of our website on which YouTube videos are embedded in this form, a connection is established to the YouTube servers and the content is displayed on the website by informing your browser.

YouTube content is only integrated in "extended data protection mode". YouTube itself provides this mode and thus ensures that YouTube does not initially save any cookies on your device. However, when you call up the relevant pages, the IP address and the information described in the section "Collection of general information" are collected and thus, in particular, you are informed which of our Internet pages you have visited. However, this information cannot be attributed to you unless you have logged in to YouTube or another Google service before accessing the page or are permanently logged in.

As soon as you start the playback of an embedded video by clicking on it, YouTube only saves cookies on your device through the extended data protection mode, which do not contain any personally identifiable data, unless you are currently logged in to a Google service. These cookies can be prevented by appropriate browser settings and extensions.

Your rights to information, correction, blocking, deletion and objection

You have the right to obtain information about your personal data stored by us at any time. You also have the right to have your personal data corrected, blocked or, apart from the mandatory data storage for business processing, deleted. Please contact our data protection officer for this purpose. You will find the contact details on the right-hand side of this page.

To ensure that a blocking of data can be considered at any time, this data must be kept in a blocking file for control purposes. You can also request the deletion of data unless there is a legal archiving obligation. If such an obligation exists, we will block your data upon request.

You can make changes or revoke consent by notifying us accordingly with effect for the future.

Change to our privacy policy

We reserve the right to amend this data protection declaration from time to time so that it always complies with the current legal requirements or in order to implement changes to our services in the data protection declaration, e.g. when introducing new services. The new data protection statement will then apply to your next visit.
