Storage duration
Unless a more specific storage period has been specified in this privacy
policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for which it
was collected no longer applies. If you assert a justified request for deletion
or revoke your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted, unless we

Revocation of your consent to the processing of data
A wide range of data processing transactions are possible only subject
to your express consent. You can also revoke at any time any consent you have
already given us. This shall be without prejudice to the lawfulness of any data
collection that occurred prior to your revocation.

cases; right to object to direct advertising (Art. 21 GDPR)
IN THE EVENT THAT DATA ARE PROCESSED ON THE BASIS OF ART. 6 SECT. 1 LIT.
E OR F GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO AT ANY TIME OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR
PERSONAL DATA BASED ON GROUNDS ARISING FROM YOUR UNIQUE SITUATION. THIS ALSO
APPLIES TO ANY PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. TO DETERMINE THE LEGAL
BASIS, ON WHICH ANY PROCESSING OF DATA IS BASED, PLEASE CONSULT THIS DATA
PROTECTION DECLARATION. IF YOU LOG AN OBJECTION, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR
AFFECTED PERSONAL DATA, UNLESS WE ARE IN A POSITION TO PRESENT COMPELLING

INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS OR IF THE PURPOSE OF THE PROCESSING IS THE
CLAIMING, EXERCISING OR DEFENCE OF LEGAL ENTITLEMENTS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO
ART. 21 SECT. 1 GDPR).
IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS BEING PROCESSED IN ORDER TO ENGAGE IN DIRECT
ADVERTISING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO AT ANY TIME OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR
AFFECTED PERSONAL DATA FOR THE PURPOSES OF SUCH ADVERTISING. THIS ALSO APPLIES
TO PROFILING TO THE EXTENT THAT IT IS AFFILIATED WITH SUCH DIRECT ADVERTISING.
IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL SUBSEQUENTLY NO LONGER BE USED FOR
DIRECT ADVERTISING PURPOSES (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21 SECT. 2 GDPR).
Right to log a complaint with a supervisory agency
In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects are entitled to
log a complaint with a supervisory agency, in particular in the member state
where they usually maintain their domicile, place of work or at the place where
the alleged violation occurred. The right to log a complaint is in effect
regardless of any other administrative or court proceedings available as legal
recourses.
Right to data portability
You have the right to demand that we hand over any data we automatically
process on the basis of your consent or in order to fulfil a contract be handed
over to you or a third party in a commonly used, machine readable format. If
you should demand the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this
will be done only if it is technically feasible.
Information about, rectification and eradication of
data
Within the scope of the applicable statutory provisions, you have the
right to at any time demand information about your archived personal data,
their source and recipients as well as the purpose of the processing of your
data. You may also have a right to have your data rectified or eradicated. If
you have questions about this subject matter or any other questions about
personal data, please do not hesitate to contact us at any time at the address
provided in section “Information Required by Law.”
Right to demand processing restrictions
You have the right to demand the imposition of restrictions as far as
the processing of your personal data is concerned. To do so, you may contact us
at any time at the address provided in section “Information Required by Law.”
The right to demand restriction of processing applies in the following cases:
- In
the event that you should dispute the correctness of your data archived by
us, we will usually need some time to verify this claim. During the time
that this investigation is ongoing, you have the right to demand that we
restrict the processing of your personal data.
- If
the processing of your personal data was/is conducted in an unlawful
manner, you have the option to demand the restriction of the processing of
your data in lieu of demanding the eradication of this data.
- If
we do not need your personal data any longer and you need it to exercise,
defend or claim legal entitlements, you have the right to demand the
restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of its
eradication.
- If
you have raised an objection pursuant to Art. 21 Sect. 1 GDPR, your rights
and our rights will have to be weighed against each other. As long as it
has not been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to
demand a restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, these data
– with the exception of their archiving – may be processed only subject to your
consent or to claim, exercise or defend legal entitlements or to protect the
rights of other natural persons or legal entities or for important public
interest reasons cited by the European Union or a member state of the EU.
Data processing on this website
Cookies
Our websites and pages use what the industry refers to as “cookies.”
Cookies are small text files that do not cause any damage to your device. They
are either stored temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies)
or they are permanently archived on your device (permanent cookies). Session
cookies are automatically deleted once you terminate your visit. Permanent
cookies remain archived on your device until you actively delete them or they
are automatically eradicated by your web browser.
In some cases, it is possible that third-party cookies are stored on
your device once you enter our site (third-party cookies). These cookies enable
you or us to take advantage of certain services offered by the third party
(e.g. cookies for the processing of payment services).
Cookies have a variety of functions. Many cookies are technically
essential since certain website functions would not work in the absence of the
cookies (e.g. the shopping cart function or the display of videos). The purpose
of other cookies may be the analysis of user patterns or the display of
promotional messages.
Cookies, which are required for the performance of electronic
communication transactions (required cookies) or for the provision of certain
functions you want to use (functional cookies, e.g. for the shopping cart
function) or those that are necessary for the optimization of the website (e.g.
cookies that provide measurable insights into the web audience), shall be
stored on the basis of Art. 6 Sect. 1 lit. f GDPR, unless a different legal
basis is cited. The operator of the website has a legitimate interest in the
storage of cookies to ensure the technically error free and optimized provision
of the operator’s services. If your consent to the storage of the cookies has
been requested, the respective cookies are stored exclusively on the basis of
the consent obtained (Art. 6 Sect. 1 lit. a GDPR); this consent may be revoked
at any time.
You have the option to set up your browser in such a manner that you
will be notified any time cookies are placed and to permit the acceptance of
cookies only in specific cases. You may also exclude the acceptance of cookies
in certain cases or in general or activate the delete function for the
automatic eradication of cookies when the browser closes. If cookies are
deactivated, the functions of this website may be limited.
In the event that third-party cookies are used or if cookies are used
for analytical purposes, we will separately notify you in conjunction with this
Data Protection Policy and, if applicable, ask for your consent.

Server log files
The provider of this website and its pages automatically collects and
stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser
communicates to us automatically. The
information comprises:
- The
type and version of browser used
- The used operating system
- Referrer URL
- The
hostname of the accessing computer
- The
time of the server inquiry
- The IP address
This data is not merged with other data sources.
This data is recorded on the basis of Art. 6 Sect. 1 lit. f GDPR. The
operator of the website has a legitimate interest in the technically error free
depiction and the optimization of the operator’s website. In order to achieve
this, server log files must be recorded.
Consent with Borlabs Cookie
Our website uses the Borlabs consent technology to obtain your consent
to the storage of certain cookies in your browser or for the use of certain
technologies and for their data privacy protection compliant documentation. The
provider of this technology is Borlabs GmbH, Rübenkamp 32, 22305 Hamburg,
Germany (hereinafter referred to as Borlabs).
Whenever you visit our website, a Borlabs cookie will be stored in your
browser, which archives any declarations or revocations of consent you have
entered. These data are not shared with the provider of the Borlabs technology.
The recorded data shall remain archived until you ask us to eradicate
them, delete the Borlabs cookie on your own or the purpose of storing the data
no longer exists. This shall be without prejudice to any retention obligations
mandated by law. To review the details of Borlabs’ data processing policies,
please visit https://de.borlabs.io/kb/welche-daten-speichert-borlabs-cookie/.
We use the Borlabs cookie consent technology to obtain the declarations
of consent mandated by law for the use of cookies. The legal basis for the use
of such cookies is Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR.
Matomo
This website uses the open-source web analysis service Matomo. Through
Matomo, we are able to collect and analyze data on the use of our
website-by-website visitors. This enables us to find out, for instance, when
which page views occurred and from which region they came. In addition, we
collect various log files (e.g. IP address, referrer, browser, and operating
system used) and can measure whether our website visitors perform certain
actions (e.g. clicks, purchases, etc.).
The use of this analysis tool is based on Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The
website operator has a legitimate interest in the analysis of user patterns, in
order to optimize the operator’s web offerings and advertising. If appropriate
consent has been obtained, the processing is carried out exclusively on the
basis of Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR and § 25 (1) TDDDG, insofar the consent includes
the storage of cookies or the access to information in the user’s end device
(e.g., device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TDDDG. This consent can
be revoked at any time.
Contact form
If you submit inquiries to us via our contact form, the information
provided in the contact form as well as any contact information provided
therein will be stored by us in order to handle your inquiry and in the event
that we have further questions. We will not share this information without your
consent.
The processing of these data is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, if
your request is related to the execution of a contract or if it is necessary to
carry out pre-contractual measures. In all other cases the processing is based
on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of the requests
addressed to us (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR).
The information you have entered into the contact form shall remain with
us until you ask us to eradicate the data, revoke your consent to the archiving
of data or if the purpose for which the information is being archived no longer
exists (e.g. after we have concluded our response to your inquiry). This shall
be without prejudice to any mandatory legal provisions – in particular
retention periods.
Request by e-mail or telephone
If you contact us by e-mail or telephone, your request, including all
resulting personal data (name, request) will be stored and processed by us for
the purpose of processing your request. We do not pass these data on without
your consent.
The processing of these data is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, if
your request is related to the execution of a contract or if it is necessary to
carry out pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based
on on our legitimate interests (Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR), since we have a
legitimate interest in the effective processing of requests addressed to us.
The data sent by you to us via contact requests remain with us until you
request us to delete, revoke your consent to the storage or the purpose for the
data storage lapses (e.g. after completion of your request). Mandatory
statutory provisions – in particular statutory retention periods – remain
unaffected.

On our website, we offer users the opportunity to register by providing
personal data. The data is entered into an input mask and transmitted to us and
saved. The data will not be passed on to third parties. The following data is
collected during the registration process:
–
Company name
–
User name
–
E-Mail address
–
Password
–
The IP address of the user

contract to which the user is a party or the implementation of pre-contractual
measures, (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR).
ToolsUnited provides tool data for download for a fee. For these to be
collected and downloaded effectively, a registration is required.
The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer necessary to
achieve the purpose for which they were collected. This is the case for the
data collected during the registration process if the registration on our
website is cancelled or changed.
As a user you have the possibility to cancel the registration at any
time. You can change the data stored about you at any time. To do this, open
the following link:
https://www.toolsunited.com/App/Account/DeleteAccount
Data processing for customers
We collect, process and use personal data only to the extent that it is
necessary for the establishment, content or amendment of the legal relationship
(customer data). This is done based on Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR, which permits
the processing of data for the fulfilment of a contract or pre-contractual
measures.
The collected customer data is deleted after completion of the order or
termination of the business relationship. Statutory retention periods remain
unaffected.
Novalnet payment service
If you purchase ToolsUnited Credits, payment is not processed by us, but
with your consent by our service provider Novalnet AG, Gutenbergstraße 2, 85737
Ismaning. We will forward the necessary data to Novalnet AG as part of the
order process. A Novalnet AG window opens directly in your browser, which
displays a pre-filled order data form. Further information can be found in the
data protection declaration of Novalnet AG:
www.novalnet.com/privacy
The legal basis for the processing of personal data using the payment
service is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR which permits the processing of data for
the fulfilment of a contract.
Newsletter data
If you would like to subscribe to the newsletter offered on this
website, we will need from you an e-mail address as well as information that
allow us to verify that you are the owner of the e-mail address provided and
consent to the receipt of the newsletter. No further data shall be collected or
shall be collected only on a voluntary basis. We shall use such data only for
the sending of the requested information and shall not share such data with any
third parties.
The processing of the information entered into the newsletter
subscription form shall occur exclusively on the basis of your consent (Art.
6(1)(a) GDPR). You may revoke the consent you have given to the archiving of
data, the e-mail address, and the use of this information for the sending of
the newsletter at any time, for instance by clicking on the “Unsubscribe” link
in the newsletter. This shall be without prejudice to the lawfulness of any
data processing transactions that have taken place to date.
The data deposited with us for the purpose of subscribing to the
newsletter will be stored by us until you unsubscribe from the newsletter or
the newsletter service provider and deleted from the newsletter distribution
list after you unsubscribe from the newsletter or after the purpose has ceased
to apply. We reserve the right to delete or block e-mail addresses from our
newsletter distribution list at our own discretion within the scope of our
legitimate interest in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.
Data stored for other purposes with us remain unaffected.
After you unsubscribe from the newsletter distribution list, your e-mail
address may be stored by us or the newsletter service provider in a blacklist,
if such action is necessary to prevent future mailings. The data from the
blacklist is used only for this purpose and not merged with other data. This
serves both your interest and our interest in complying with the legal
requirements when sending newsletters (legitimate interest within the meaning
of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). The storage in the blacklist is indefinite. You may object to the storage if your
interests outweigh our legitimate interest.

Google reCAPTCHA
We use on the website cimsource.com “Google reCAPTCHA” (hereinafter
referred to as “reCAPTCHA”) on this website. The provider is Google Ireland
Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
The purpose of reCAPTCHA is to determine whether data entered on this
website (e.g., information entered into a contact form) is being provided by a
human user or by an automated program. To determine this, reCAPTCHA analyzes
the behavior of the website visitors based on a variety of parameters. This
analysis is triggered automatically as soon as the website visitor enters the
site. For this analysis, reCAPTCHA evaluates a variety of data (e.g., IP
address, time the website visitor spent on the site or cursor movements
initiated by the user). The data tracked during such analyses are forwarded to
Google.
reCAPTCHA analyses run entirely in the background. Website visitors are
not alerted that an analysis is underway.
Data are stored and analyzed on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The
website operator has a legitimate interest in the protection of the operator’s
websites against abusive automated spying and against SPAM. If appropriate
consent has been obtained, the processing is carried out exclusively on the
basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25 (1) TDDDG, insofar the consent includes the
storage of cookies or the access to information in the user’s end device (e.g.,
device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TDDDG. This consent can be
revoked at any time.

Job Applications
We offer website visitors the opportunity to submit job applications to
us (e.g. via e-mail, via postal services on by submitting the online job application
form). Below, we will brief you on the scope, purpose and use of the personal
data collected from you in conjunction with the application process. We assure
you that the collection, processing and use of your data will occur in
compliance with the applicable data privacy rights and all other statutory
provisions and that your data will always be treated as strictly
confidential.
Scope and purpose of the collection of data
If you submit a job application to us, we will process any affiliated
personal data (e.g. contact and communications data, application documents,
notes taken during job interviews, etc.), if they are required to make a
decision concerning the establishment or an employment relationship. The legal
grounds for the aforementioned are § 26 New GDPR according to German Law
(Negotiation of an Employment Relationship), Art. 6 Sect. 1 lit. b GDPR
(General Contract Negotiations) and – provided you have given us your consent –
Art. 6 Sect. 1 lit. a GDPR. You may revoke any consent given at any time.
Within our company, your personal data will only be shared with individuals who
are involved in the processing of your job application.
If your job application should result in your recruitment, the data you
have submitted will be archived on the grounds of § 26 New GDPR and Art. 6
Sect. 1 lit. b GDPR for the purpose of implementing the employment relationship
in our data processing system.
Data Archiving Period
If we are unable to make you a job offer or you reject a job offer or
withdraw your application, we reserve the right to retain the data you have
submitted on the basis of our legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR)
for up to 6 months from the end of the application procedure (rejection or
withdrawal of the application). Afterwards the data will be deleted, and the
physical application documents will be destroyed. The storage serves in
particular as evidence in the event of a legal dispute. If it is evident that
the data will be required after the expiry of the 6-month period (e.g. due to
an impending or pending legal dispute), deletion will only take place when the
purpose for further storage no longer applies.
Longer storage may also take place if you have given your agreement
(Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR) or if statutory data retention requirements preclude
the deletion.
Admission to the applicant pool
If we do not make you a job offer, you may be able to join our applicant
pool. In case of admission, all documents and information from the application
will be transferred to the applicant pool in order to contact you in case of
suitable vacancies.
Admission to the applicant pool is based exclusively on your express
agreement (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). The submission agreement is voluntary
and has no relation to the ongoing application procedure. The affected person can revoke his
agreement at any time with effect for the future. In this case,
the data from the applicant pool will be irrevocably deleted, provided there
are no legal reasons for storage.
The data from the applicant pool will be irrevocably deleted no later
than two years after consent has been granted.
Our social media appearances
This privacy policy applies to
the following social media presence
Data processing through social
networks
We maintain publicly available profiles in social networks. The
individual social networks we use can be found below.
Social networks such as Facebook, X etc. can generally analyze your user
behavior comprehensively if you visit their website or a website with
integrated social media content (e.g., like buttons or banner ads). When you
visit our social media pages, numerous data protection-relevant processing
operations are triggered. In detail:
If you are logged in to your social media account and visit our social
media page, the operator of the social media portal can assign this visit to
your user account. Under certain circumstances, your personal data may also be
recorded if you are not logged in or do not have an account with the respective
social media portal. In this case, this data is collected, for example, via
cookies stored on your device or by recording your IP address.
Using the data collected in this way, the operators of the social media
portals can create user profiles in which their preferences and interests are
stored. This way you can see interest-based advertising inside and outside of
your social media presence. If you have an account with the social network,
interest-based advertising can be displayed on any device you are logged in to
or have logged in to.
Please also note that we cannot retrace all processing operations on the
social media portals. Depending on the provider, additional processing
operations may therefore be carried out by the operators of the social media
portals. Details can be found in the terms of use and privacy policy of the
respective social media portals.
Legal basis
Our social media appearances should ensure the widest possible presence
on the Internet. This is a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1)
lit. f GDPR. The analysis processes initiated by the social networks may be
based on divergent legal bases to be specified by the operators of the social
networks (e.g., consent within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR).
Responsibility and assertion
of rights
If you visit one of our social media sites (e.g., Facebook), we,
together with the operator of the social media platform, are responsible for
the data processing operations triggered during this visit. You can in
principle protect your rights (information, correction, deletion, limitation of
processing, data portability and complaint) vis-à-vis us as well as vis-à-vis
the operator of the respective social media portal (e.g., Facebook).
Please note that despite the shared responsibility with the social media
portal operators, we do not have full influence on the data processing
operations of the social media portals. Our options are determined by the
company policy of the respective provider.
Storage time
The data collected directly from us via the social media presence will
be deleted from our systems as soon as you ask us to delete it, you revoke your
consent to the storage or the purpose for the data storage lapses. Stored
cookies remain on your device until you delete them. Mandatory statutory
provisions – in particular, retention periods – remain unaffected.
We have no control over the storage duration of your data that are
stored by the social network operators for their own purposes. For details,
please contact the social network operators directly (e.g., in their privacy
policy, see below).
Your rights
You have the right to receive information about the origin, recipient
and purpose of your stored personal data at any time and free of charge. You
also have the right to object, the right to data portability and the right to
file a complaint with the responsible regulatory agency. Furthermore, you can
request the correction, blocking, deletion and, under certain circumstances,
the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
