Privacy Policy of InViSim.com

Version from November 1st, 2024

In this privacy policy, we, Industrial Vision amp; Simulation (hereinafter InViSim, we or us), explain how we collect and otherwise process personal data. This is not an exhaustive description; other privacy policies [or general terms and conditions, conditions of participation and similar documents] may regulate specific issues. Personal data is understood to mean all information that relates to a specific or identifiable person.

If you provide us with personal data of other people (e.g. family members, data of work colleagues), please ensure that these people are aware of this privacy policy and only provide us with their personal data if you are permitted to do so and if this personal data is correct.

This privacy policy is designed to meet the requirements of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), the Swiss Data Protection Act (“DSG”) and the revised Swiss Data Protection Act (“revDSG”). However, whether and to what extent these laws are applicable depends on the individual case.

1 Responsible person

The person responsible for the data processing that we describe here is Andreas Scholz, Fichtenweg 7, 9470 Buchs SG. If you have any concerns about data protection, you can let us know at the following contact address: consulting[at]invisim[dot]com

2. Collection and processing of personal data

We primarily process the personal data that we receive from our customers and other business partners and other people involved in the context of our business relationship with them or that we collect from their users when operating our websites, apps and other applications.

To the extent permitted, we also obtain certain data from publicly accessible sources (e.g. debt collection registers, land registers, commercial registers, press, Internet) or receive such data from other companies, authorities and other third parties. In addition to the data you provide to us directly, the categories of personal data that we receive about you from third parties include, in particular, information from public registers, information that we learn in connection with official and judicial proceedings, information in connection with your professional functions and activities (so that we can, for example, conclude and process business with your employer with your help), information about you in correspondence and meetings with third parties, credit reports (insofar as we conduct business with you personally), information about you that people from your environment (family, advisors, legal representatives, etc.) give us so that we can conclude or process contracts with you or with your involvement (e.g. references, your address for deliveries, powers of attorney, information on compliance with legal requirements such as anti-money laundering and export restrictions, information from banks, insurance companies, sales and other contractual partners of ours for the use or provision of services by you (e.g. made payments, purchases made), information from the media and the Internet about you (if this is appropriate in the specific case, e.g. in the context of an application, press review, marketing/sales, etc.), your addresses and, if applicable, interests and other socio-demographic data (for marketing), data in connection with the use of the website (e.g. IP address, MAC address of the smartphone or computer, information about your device and settings, cookies, date and time of the visit, pages and content accessed, functions used, referring website, location information).

3. Purposes of data processing and legal bases

We use the personal data we collect primarily to conclude and process our contracts with our customers and business partners, in particular in the context of computer vision solutions with our customers and the purchase of products and services from our suppliers and subcontractors, as well as to comply with our legal obligations at home and abroad. If you work for such a customer or business partner, you and your personal data can of course also be affected in this capacity.

In addition, we process personal data from you and other people, as far as permitted and we deem it appropriate, for the following purposes in which we (and sometimes third parties) have a legitimate interest corresponding to the purpose:

- Offering and further developing our offers, services and websites, apps and other platforms on which we are present;

- Communication with third parties and processing their inquiries (e.g. applications, media inquiries);
- Testing and optimizing processes for needs analysis for the purpose of directly addressing customers and collecting personal data from publicly accessible sources for the purpose of customer acquisition;
- Advertising and marketing (including holding events), provided you have not objected to the use of your data (if we send you advertising as an existing customer, you can object to this at any time; we will then put you on a block list against further advertising mailings);
- Market and opinion research, media monitoring;
- Asserting legal claims and defending in connection with legal disputes and official proceedings;
- Preventing and investigating criminal offenses and other misconduct (e.g. conducting internal investigations, data analyses to combat fraud);
- Ensuring our operations, in particular IT, our websites, apps and other platforms;
- Video surveillance to protect house rules and other measures for IT, building and system security and protection of our employees and other people and assets belonging to us or entrusted to us (such as access controls, visitor lists, network and mail scanners, telephone recordings);

If you have given us consent to process your personal data for certain purposes (for example when you register to receive newsletters or carry out a background check), we will process your personal data within the scope of and based on this consent, unless we have another legal basis and we require one. Consent given can be revoked at any time, but this has no effect on data processing that has already taken place.

4. Cookies / tracking and other technologies in connection with the use of our website

We currently do not use cookies, Google Analytics or social media plug-ins on our website.

5. Data sharing and data transfer abroad

As part of our business activities and the purposes according to section 3, we also disclose data to third parties, as far as permitted and we deem it appropriate, either because they process it for us or because they want to use it for their own purposes. This applies in particular to the following places:

- our service providers, including contract processors (such as IT providers);

- dealers, suppliers, subcontractors and other business partners;

- customers;

- domestic and foreign authorities, offices or courts;

- media;

- public, including visitors to websites and social media;

- competitors, industry organizations, associations, organizations and other bodies;

- other parties in possible or actual legal proceedings;

all together recipients.

Some of these recipients are in Germany, but they can be anywhere in the world. If a recipient is located in a country without adequate legal data protection, we contractually oblige the recipient to comply with the applicable data protection (for this purpose we use the revised standard contractual clauses of the European Commission, which can be accessed here:
https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/dec_impl/2021/914/oj?), unless they are already subject to a legally recognized set of rules to ensure data protection and we cannot rely on an exception. An exception may apply in particular in legal proceedings abroad, but also in cases of overriding public interests or if the execution of a contract requires such disclosure, if you have consented or if the data is data that you have made generally accessible and whose processing you have not objected to.

6. Duration of storage of personal data

We process and store your personal data as long as it is necessary to fulfill our contractual and legal obligations or for the purposes pursued with the processing, i.e. for example for the duration of the entire business relationship (from initiation, processing to termination of a contract) and beyond that in accordance with the statutory retention and documentation obligations. It is possible that personal data will be retained for the period in which claims can be asserted against our company and to the extent that we are otherwise legally obliged to do so or legitimate business interests require it (e.g. for evidence and documentation purposes). As soon as your personal data is no longer required for the purposes mentioned above, it will generally be deleted or anonymized as far as possible. For operational data (e.g. system protocols, logs), shorter retention periods of twelve months or less generally apply.

7. Data security

We take appropriate technical and organizational security precautions to protect your personal data from unauthorized access and misuse, such as IT and network security solutions and encryption of data media and transmissions.

8. Obligation to provide personal data

As part of our business relationship, you must provide the personal data that is necessary for establishing and conducting a business relationship and fulfilling the associated contractual obligations (you generally have no legal obligation to provide us with data). Without this data, we will generally not be able to conclude or process a contract with you (or the body or person you represent). The website cannot be used if certain information to ensure data traffic (such as IP address) is not disclosed.

9. Profiling and automated decision-making

We do not currently carry out any profiling or personal automated decision-making.

10. Rights of the data subject

Within the scope of the data protection law applicable to you and to the extent provided for therein (such as in the case of the GDPR), you have the right to information, rectification, erasure, the right to restrict data processing and otherwise to object to our data processing, in particular that for the purposes of direct marketing, profiling carried out for direct advertising and other legitimate interests in processing as well as to the release of certain personal data for the purpose of transferring it to another location (so-called data portability). Please note, however, that we reserve the right to assert the restrictions provided for by law, for example if we are obliged to store or process certain data, have an overriding interest in doing so (insofar as we are entitled to rely on it) or need it to assert claims. If you incur costs, we will inform you in advance. We have already informed you about the possibility of revoking your consent in section 3. Please note that exercising these rights may conflict with contractual agreements and this may have consequences such as early termination of the contract or cost implications. We will inform you in advance of this if this is not already contractually agreed.
The exercise of such rights generally requires that you clearly prove your identity (e.g. by providing a copy of your ID card if your identity is otherwise not clear or cannot be verified). To assert your rights, you can contact us at the address provided in section 1.
Every person affected also has the right to enforce their claims in court or to file a complaint with the responsible data protection authority. The responsible data protection authority in Switzerland is the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner
(http://www.edoeb.admin.ch).

11. Changes

We may amend this data protection declaration at any time without prior notice. The current version published on our website applies. If the privacy policy is part of an agreement with you, we will inform you of the change by email or other appropriate means in the event of an update.
