Processing of personal data

 

The subject matter of this declaration is the collection, processing and usage (“Use”) of personal data (“Data”) in the Security Center or in the mobile device apps of Wurm GmbH & Co. KG Electronic Systems.

 

The personal data concerned are stored in the database of the Security Center. Access to the authorization releases associated with this data for all mobile device applications managed via the Security Center is handled using pseudonymized and encrypted procedures.

This means that when using the corresponding mobile device apps, there is no concrete personal reference (privacy by design). The data required for the binding process of the app OneID is not saved on the mobile device.

 

 

The data collected and processed by us when using the security center can generally be divided into the following categories:

·         Contact information such as name, address, telephone number, email address, title, place of work, company affiliation etc.

·         Profile information if you create a profile or account with us, including username and password

·         Technical information such as technical data on use and display, including IP addresses, when you visit our websites or applications, also on third-party websites

·         Transaction information such as the transfer of project access data by the querying authorized person

 

The administration of the users is carried out either by employees of the company Wurm (after release of the operator) or by contact persons of the service companies (hereinafter referred to as ADMIN). These ADMINs receive by the provider of this on-line service ("portal") Wurm GmbH & Co. KG Electronic Systems the administration right for the establishment of the user access of the respective accounts (service company). In the process, personal data of the respective users are recorded, which are then processed further. Only information required for establishing the contractual relationship or for carrying out the services is designated as mandatory information.

 

The use of Wurm online services is possible i.a. with the login via OneID. With OneID you can use your mobile terminal for authentication for Frigodata, the Infocenter and other applications. To use OneID, you need a unique, personally identifiable email address or mobile phone number and a mobile device running the iOS or Android operating system. Authentication is realized via an application (app) that has to be installed and set up on your mobile device. If the installation was successful, you can bind the used device with your OneID access data and immediately log in to all applications that have been activated for you.

When you start the OneID app for the first time after installation, you will be asked if you want to grant the app the right to use push notifications. If you want to log in to the activated applications using a push message, this right is required for communication with the Security Center.

 

Note: When using the push services, encrypted messages are transmitted via Apple or Google servers without any personal reference.

Further note: All login attempts via OneID are also logged in the Security Center.

 

 

The personal data of the user account include the user name of the user, his mobile number, his company, his email address, an individual device identifier and optionally his full name. The mobile number is used for authentication and authorization check by a request SMS sent by a mobile phone as well as a response with the access data to the requested gateway. Through creating a user account the portal can optionally send an info SMS to the user. The indication of the company of the user is needed for the connection or legal assignment of the service company to the used gateways of the branches to be supervised with refrigeration or technical building equipment. If it is given an email address optionally information required by the employees of the portal operator (e.g. Hotline) can also be sent by e-mail. The individual device identifier is used in the security center for the logical assignment of user and device.

 

In addition, when push messages are activated in the respective apps, a corresponding app identifier is stored in the security Center to enable this push message dispatch. For more information, please refer to the privacy policy of the respective app.

 

If you use this online service of "Wurm GmbH & Co. KG Electronic Systems", server logs automatically provide technical information, which your browser or your app transmits, that is collected and stored. This is in particular the address of the page called and the IP address of your computer.

 

All activities are stored in an activity log to monitor the portal for malfunction. In addition, the portal operator uses this data for security reasons to monitor possible misuse (request from a user for unauthorized systems). In the case of accumulations of such requests, both the user in question and the responsible ADMIN can be informed about this infringement. In addition, each ADMIN can view the activities of users created by him.

 

In addition to the technical data of the requested gateways and the service partners for refrigeration and building services, the activity log records the following personal data: date of inquiry, user name and company in which the user is employed.

 

When using the Security Center with the mobile device application Serial2Key, in addition to the serial number of the requested gateways (=technical data) the following personal data will be automatically stored on the portal server per use of the SMS request: the username, the mobile phone number and the date of the SMS request.

 

The storage of a sent SMS happens according to the mechanisms available in the mobile device. In addition to the app settings, no personal data is stored on the mobile device.

 

You have the right to inspect, correct, supplement complete or delete the personal data and settings of your customer account stored on your person at any time.

 

If you get in contact with Wurm GmbH & Co. KG Elektronische Systeme by email, please note that we use the STARTTLS encryption process. If your server supports this encryption process, this will ensure secure communication between our email server and yours. Otherwise the data will usually be sent unencrypted. In this case, the confidentiality of the transferred information cannot be guaranteed. We have no control over the path taken by your email over the public internet to our company and cannot therefore guarantee the security of your data. Once your email has reached our email server, we protect your data with highly technical and organisational measures.

 

 

Transmission of data to third parties

 

Wurm GmbH & Co. KG Electronic Systems will not as a matter of principle transmit your personal data to third parties outside the company network, unless:

 

·         transmission is necessary for the purpose of carrying out or billing services, if the service involves making use of the products or services of an independent partner company or if the data is needed for the purpose of carrying out the service for a partner company (if you are not advised otherwise, such vicarious agents are only authorized to use the data that is absolutely necessary for this service); an automatic email is generated and sent to the relevant sales partner for the billing (personal user contract)

·         for sending SMS we use the service of Esendex.

·         you have given your consent to transmit the information, or prosecuting authorities or courts  demand information based on applicable laws for the purpose of prosecution.

·         in order to carry out the processing and handling process, if we have to make use of service providers in order to process the contract data, the contractual relations are regulated as stipulated by Art. 28 GDPR, which contains the legally required points relating to data privacy and data protection.
