4.3.           When participating in certain Dialogues, further specific information related to the Dialogue can be requested. Generally, DiALOGiFY does not link personal data to the answers given in such a Dialogue. Please note, however, that if you provide information, including personal data, in this Dialogue, or if you give your consent before you start the Dialogue or during the Dialogue, your personal data will be linked to the answers from the Dialogue and this data will be sent not only to DiALOGiFY but also to the respective Dialogue Initiator.

4.4.           Based on the personal data in your profile, DiALOGiFY will keep you informed about Dialogues that are of interest to you. You have the possibility to change, adjust or delete your personal data in your profile at any time. Please note that you might not be invited for all available Dialogues afterwards. If you have any questions or concerns, or if you wish to access, update, amend, correct or delete, any of your Personal Data we store and process, please contact us at hello@dialogify.io.

4.5.           If in a Dialogue you allow to receive invitations to follow-up Dialogues (email and/or SMS), your personal data in your profile will be used to send you these invitations. In the follow-up Dialogue you have the possibility to unsubscribe from follow-up Dialogues of a campaign at any time. Your personal data will then be saved, but you will not receive any follow-up Dialogues from the respective campaign. You can change, adapt or delete your personal data in your profile at any time. Please note that you may not be invited to participate in any follow-up Dialogues after you have done so.

4.6.           Please note that we will only process your personal data for other purposes if we are obliged to do so by law (e.g. transmission to courts or law enforcement authorities), if you have consented to the respective data processing or if the data processing is otherwise legally permissible under applicable law. If data is processed for another purpose, you might receive further information from us.

4.7.           Non-personal (anonymous) data, such as statistics about the device you use (e.g. smartphone) or transaction data where all personal information has been deleted, cannot be used to identify you. We use such data, among other things, to constantly optimise the performance of the platform and the services offered on the platform.

5.   Recipients and categories of recipients

5.1.           Any access to your personal data at DiALOGiFY is limited to those persons who need such data to perform their professional duties.

5.2.           Your personal data will only be passed on to a third party in anonymous form, unless you have given your consent for the data to be passed on in non-anonymous form and/or you have entered/confirmed this data yourself in the Dialogue.

5.3.           The Dialogue Initiator of a particular Dialogue also has access to data that you enter in the context of a Dialogue launched by him. This means that the Dialogue Initiator is the data owner of the Dialogue and has the possibility to export the data of his Dialogue. Therefore, the Dialogue Initiator’s privacy statement is also relevant for you. It provides you with information about how the Dialogue Initiator handles your data.

5.4.           Your personal data will only be passed on to third parties (e.g. to courts or criminal prosecution authorities) if we are obliged to do so by law, if you have given your consent, or if the transfer is otherwise legally permissible.

5.5.           DiALOGiFY may transfer your personal data for the respective purposes, in particular to the recipients and categories of recipients listed in clauses 5.3, 5.4, 5.6 and 5.7.

5.6.           We are dependent on the services of third parties, i.e. contract processors, such as our data center. Your data is always protected in any case. In order to use technical or organizational services of third parties that we need to fulfill the purposes stated in this Privacy Statement or our other business activities, personal data of our users may be stored in the systems of such processors. This includes, for example, your contact details, which are stored in encrypted form in a data center in the EU, or your email address in our support system. Our processors are subject to local data protection laws and are also contractually obliged to process personal data exclusively on our behalf and according to our instructions. We also oblige our contract processors to comply with technical and organisational measures that ensure the protection of personal data.

5.7.           DiALOGiFY will only disclose your information to governmental authorities, courts, external consultants and similar third parties that are public entities, if we are obliged, required or permitted to do so by applicable law.

6.   International data transfer

Some of the recipients of your data, in particular our processors, are located outside the EU/EEA or Switzerland, so that the applicable laws guarantee a different national level of data protection than that provided for in European or Swiss data protection law. Within the scope of this Privacy Statement you agree that certain recipients of your data, in particular the Dialogue Initiators of a Dialogue, are subject to a different level of protection than DiALOGiFY itself.

7.   Storage duration

Your personal data will be stored by DiALOGiFY and/or our contract processors only to the extent necessary to fulfil our obligations and only for the time necessary to achieve the purposes for which the personal data is collected. This is done in accordance with the applicable data protection law. If DiALOGiFY no longer needs your personal data, we will delete such data and/or take the necessary steps to anonymise such data in the proper manner. This does not apply if we are obliged to keep the data for a longer period of time, especially in order to comply with legal retention obligations. For example, personal data contained in contracts, notices and business letters may be subject to statutory retention obligations, which may require retention for up to 10 years.

8.   What does DiALOGiFY do to protect your data?

DiALOGiFY takes care of the necessary technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data in the best possible way and to guarantee their security. The communication between DiALOGiFY and you is completely encrypted by the standardized protocol TLS/SSL.

Often you also have the possibility to correct this data directly on the Platform. Taking into account the purposes of the data processing, you also have the right to request the completion of incomplete personal data – also by means of a supplementary declaration.

9.6.           Right to deletion (“right to be forgotten”): If the appropriate prerequisites are met, you may demand that the personal data concerning you be deleted immediately.

10. Data collection and other services like our newsletter

DiALOGiFY collects your data both actively and passively. For example, by creating a user profile and participating in various Dialogues, you actively provide us with data. On the other hand, in the course of the normal operation of the Platform, certain data in connection with your visit to the Platform is automatically or passively collected from or about you. Our servers may automatically collect visitor information (as mentioned in clause 4.2 above), or how many companies we (or our processors) may use cookies and other tracking technologies (such as pixels, beacons, tags and Adobe Flash technology) to collect, store and track information about your use of the Platform. This information helps us to provide, improve and personalize our Platform. For more information about how we use cookies and other similar technologies, please refer to our Cookie Policy(www.dialogify.io/en/cookie-policy/).

11. Subscription to our Newsletter

11.1.        With DiALOGiFY you have the possibility to be informed about the latest services and Dialogues via a newsletter. Which personal data is transmitted to the person responsible for the data processing when you order the newsletter will be indicated to you when you register for the newsletter (e.g. as text information next to the opt-in or as part of the input mask used for this purpose).

11.2.        You can only receive the newsletter if (1) you have a valid email address or mobile number and (2) you register for the newsletter. For legal reasons, we will send you a confirmation email/SMS to the email address or mobile number registered for the newsletter for the first time, so that you have the opportunity to confirm your registration (so-called double opt-in procedure). This confirmation mail/SMS serves the purpose of checking whether you, as the owner of the email address/mobile number, have authorized the receipt of the newsletter, unless you accept the newsletter in your personal account, in which the email address/mobile number used has already been checked by means of the double opt-in procedure.

11.3.        When you register for the newsletter, we also save the IP address assigned by the Internet Service Provider (ISP) of the computer system you are using at the time of registration as well as the date and time of your registration. The collection of this data is necessary in order to be able to trace a (possible) misuse of your email address/mobile number at a later time and therefore serves to provide legal protection for the person responsible for the data processing.

11.4.        The personal data collected in connection with registration for the newsletter will be used exclusively for sending the newsletter, unless you have agreed to further use. Furthermore, as a subscriber to the newsletter, you could be informed by email/SMS if this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or a registration in this regard. This could be the case, for example, if there are changes to the newsletter service or if the technical conditions change. We will not pass on your personal data collected within the scope of the newsletter service to third parties unless you have explicitly agreed to this passing on. You can cancel your subscription to the newsletter at any time. You can revoke your consent to the storage of personal data that you have given us for the newsletter service at any time. For the purpose of revoking your consent, you will find a corresponding link in every newsletter. You can also inform us about your wish to unsubscribe at any time by e-mail at hello@dialogify.io.

12. Adaptation of this Privacy Statement

This privacy statement may need to be updated from time to time – for example, due to the introduction of new technologies or the launch of new services. We therefore reserve the right to change or amend this Privacy Statement at any time. You will be notified of any changes when you login/open your DiALOGiFY account (Scoutsss App or web) and/or in the DiALOGiFY dashboard.
