Notes on Data Protection

UNITY welcomes every visit to our website and the interest shown in the company and its range of services. The protection of personal data is an important concern for us. All UNITY web activities are carried out in accordance with the applicable legal regulations for the protection of personal data and data security. This privacy policy explains how UNITY handles information that is collected when the UNITY website is visited.

If you send us enquiries using the contact form, your details from the enquiry form, including the contact data you provided there, will be stored for the purpose of processing the enquiry and in the event of follow-up questions. We will not pass on this data without your consent.

The data entered in the contact form is therefore processed exclusively on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO). You can revoke this consent at any time. All you need to do is send us an informal e-mail. The legality of the data processing processes carried out up to the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

The data entered by you in the contact form will remain with us until you request deletion, revoke your consent for storage or the purpose for data storage ceases to apply. Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.

UNITY has an online presence on social networks and platforms in order to be able to communicate with its customers, interested parties and users that are active there and to inform them about our services there.

We would like to point out that in doing so, user data may be processed outside the area of the European Union. Therefore, the enforcement of users’ rights may be more difficult. US providers that are certified under the Privacy Shield thereby undertake to comply with the data protection standards of the EU.

User data can be processed for market research and advertising purposes. For example, user profiles can be created from the user’s behavior and the resulting interests. These profiles can be used, for example, to publish advertisements within and outside the social media platforms that presumably reflect the users’ interests. For this purpose, cookies are stored on the users’ end devices, in which the users’ behavior and presumed interests are saved. Data can also be stored independent of the end devices used, especially if the users maintain profiles in the respective networks and are logged into them.

The processing of users’ personal data is based on our legitimate interests in providing users with effective information and communication with users pursuant to Article 6 Para. 1 Letter f. of the DSGVO. If the users are asked by the respective providers of the platforms for consent to the aforementioned data processing, the legal basis of the processing is Article 6 Para. 1 Letter a., Article 7 of the DSGVO.

For a detailed description of the respective processing and the opt-out options, please refer to the information of the providers linked below.

Also in the case of requests for information and the assertion of user rights, we point out that these can be asserted most effectively with the providers. Only the providers have access to the users’ data and can take appropriate measures and provide information directly. If you still need help, please can contact us.
