Note on the data controller:
arithmetics IST UG (haftungsbeschränkt Innovative Technology & Software takes protecting your personal data very seriously. Your personal data will be stored and used in line with data protection provisions, specifically the European Union General Data Protection Regulation (EU GDPR) and the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG).
The information below gives an overview of the type, extent and purpose of collection, processing and disclosure of personal data, as well as the security precautions taken to protect this data.
Personal data refers to individual information about the personal or material circumstances of a specific or identifiable natural person, such as name, address, telephone number, date of birth, as well as your email and IP address.
Use, disclosure and deletion of personal data
Server log files
When you visit our website or use its services, the device you use to access this site will automatically send log data (connection data) to our server. The information concerned consists of the name of the website, the file, the current date, quantity of data, the web browser and its version, the operating system used, the domain name of your internet provider, the referrer URL, i.e. the site you visited before our site, as well as the corresponding IP address. This data is stored in anonymous form, in line with the German Telemedia Act (TMG). Creation of personal user profiles is therefore not possible.
The data collected is used exclusively for statistical analyses, for the purpose of operation, security and optimisation of the web presence. However, we reserve the right to subsequently check the log data, if specific grounds justify suspicion of unlawful use.
Cookies
We use ‘cookies’ in some areas of the website, for example to identify user preferences and to optimise design of the website accordingly. Cookies allow us to make navigation easier and to make the website very user-friendly.
Cookies are small files that are saved on a visitor’s hard drive. Most of the cookies used on this website are ‘session cookies’. They are automatically deleted after the end of your session. Other cookies remain stored on your terminal device until you delete them. These cookies allow your browser to be recognised the next time you visit the website.
You can set your browser to inform you when cookies are placed. This makes use of cookies transparent for you. If you do not accept cookies, you might not be able to use some of the functions of this website. Use of cookies constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of GDPR.
Contact form
If you send us an enquiry using the contact form, we will store your personal data for the purposes of processing the enquiry, as well as any associated follow-up questions. We will not disclose this data without your consent.
The data given in the contact form is only processed on the basis of your consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR).
We will store the data you provide in the contact form until you request its deletion, withdraw your consent for its storage, or if it is no longer necessary to store the data (e.g. if the processing of your enquiry is complete).
Data security
We take technical and organisational security precautions to appropriately protect the data you make available from accidental or intentional manipulation, loss, destruction or access by unauthorised persons. We therefore use SSL encoding for transmission of confidential content, such as enquiries that you send to us as the website operator. Secure connections are recognisable because the browser’s address bar will change from ‘http://’ to ‘https://’, and the padlock symbol will appear in the address bar. The data that you send us cannot be read by third parties if SSL encoding is activated. We continually develop our security measures in line with technology.
Registration on our website
If you register on our website to receive services and information, we will collect personal data from you. This data includes your name, address, telephone number and email address as contact and communication data.

We will not forward your data to third parties over and above this. Your personal data is processed on the basis of performing the contract (pursuant to Article 6 (1)(b)). This data is deleted in line with statutory safekeeping obligations.
Newsletter
If you subscribe to our newsletter on our website, we will only use the personal data you provide in connection with this for the purpose of sending the newsletter.
Users subscribe to our newsletter by means of a double opt-in process. This means that, after subscribing, you will receive an email where you are asked to confirm your registration. This confirmation is required to prevent subscriptions from third-party email addresses. Subscriptions to the newsletter are recorded so that the subscription process can be proven according to the statutory requirements (consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) GDPR). This includes storing the time of subscription and confirmation, as well as the IP address.
We will not disclose to third parties any of the data we receive from you, or the information recorded.

You will find a link for cancelling the newsletter at the end of each newsletter.
