Data privacy

Updated 24.04.2024

Thank you for visiting the CompanyMood website. The protection of personal data has been an important concern for us since our foundation. Personal data is therefore only collected if there is a legitimate interest (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR). So if you register for a test account or contact us by email, we will be happy to hear from you and assume that you are doing so voluntarily.

Our data protection practices comply with the provisions of the European General Data Protection Regulation (EU GDPR), the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) and the German Telemedia Act (TMG). We will collect, process and store your personal data exclusively for the processing of enquiries and, if necessary, for the processing of orders / contracts.

Your data will only be used for other purposes, such as preparing offers, newsletters, etc., if you have previously given your separate consent. Third-party services that we require to fulfil our contractual services are bound to our data protection standards by contracts in accordance with the EU GDPR.

1. Responsible within the meaning of Art. 4 para. 7 GDPR

The controller within the meaning of the GDPR, other national data protection laws and other data protection regulations is

2. Anonymous / pseudonymised use of the website

You can visit our website without providing any personal data. We only process access data such as the name of your internet provider, the website from which you came or the name of the requested file. The data is only evaluated to optimise our website and cannot be used to identify individual persons.

3. Special functions of the website

Our website offers you various functions, such as a 30-day free trial access or fee-based services, for which personal data is collected and processed with your consent. We take great care when collecting, processing and using this data. Below we explain what happens to this data:

Employee feedback:

The data entered in the feedback form will be forwarded to your company. We consider the entry and consent to the further processing of this data to be voluntary, as there is a legitimate interest in ensuring that the feedback entered is actually received. Per definition the anonymous feedback sent to your company will not contain any personal details. If you have any questions about this, please contact us at support@company-mood.com.

Live-Chat-Support:

We only use the data recorded via our live chat to process enquiries received via this chat. No personal data is transferred directly.

Data may be transferred to third-party providers when we enter data to make contact. Third-party services that receive personal data are contractually bound to comply with the CompanyMood data protection standard or an equivalent standard (EU GDPR).

Once the enquiry has been processed, the data collected will be deleted immediately, provided there are no statutory retention periods.

Login-Area:

You have the option of using a separate login area on our website. If you have forgotten your password or user name for this area, it is possible to have this data sent to you again after entering your contact details (e-mail address).

We only collect, store and process the usage data generated in the course of using the login area in order to combat misuse and rectify faults or to maintain functionality.

The data will not be used for other purposes or passed on to third parties. The data collected as part of the ‘forgotten user name or password’ function will only be used to resend forgotten access data.

Newsletter:

The data entered in the signup form for our newsletter will be used by us exclusively for sending our newsletter, in which we provide information about all our services. After you have signed up, we will send you a confirmation e-mail containing a link that you must click on to complete your registration for our newsletter (double opt-in).

You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time by clicking on the unsubscribe link. Your data will be deleted by us within six months of unsubscribing. Your data will also be deleted by us within six months if you do not complete your registration.

4. Data transfer / purpose limitation

We only pass on personal data to third parties if this is necessary for us to fulfil our contractual obligations, in particular to process a concluded contract. Personal data will not be passed on to third parties except for the purposes of contract and payment processing.

If you provide us with personal data as part of an express consent, this data will only be used for the purpose on which the consent is based and which you have agreed to in advance. We will only store your personal data for as long as this is necessary for the intended purpose of data collection or as required by law. You can revoke your consent at any time. You can obtain information about the stored data concerning you from the responsible body.

5. Statistical analysis of website visits

We collect, process and store the following data when this website or individual files on the website are accessed: IP address, website from which the file was retrieved, name of the file, date and time of retrieval, amount of data transferred and notification of the success of the retrieval (so-called web log). We use this access data exclusively in a non-personalised form for the continuous improvement of our website and for statistical purposes.

We also use the following plugins and active script content to analyse visits to this website:

Userlike:

Our website uses Userlike, a service of the company Userlike UG (haftungsbeschränkt),

During use, data, in particular the IP address and user activities, may be transmitted to a server of Userlike UG and stored there. You can prevent the collection and forwarding of personal data (in particular your IP address) and the processing of this data by deactivating the execution of Java Script in your browser or installing a tool such as ‘NoScript’.

6. External content and/or processing of data outside the EU

We use active Java Script content from external providers on our website. By accessing our website, these external providers may receive personal information about your visit to our website. In this case, data may be processed outside the EU.

You can prevent this by installing a JavaScript blocker such as the browser plugin ‘NoScript’ (www.noscript.net) or deactivating JavaScript in your browser. This can lead to functional restrictions on websites that you visit.

We use the following in detail:

Matomo (formerly Piwik)

On this website, data is collected and stored using Matomo (www.matomo.org), a web analysis software from the provider InnoCraft Ltd, 150 Willis St, 6011 Wellington, New Zealand, on the basis of our legitimate interest in the statistical analysis of user behaviour for optimisation purposes in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

Anonymised user profiles can be created and evaluated from this data for the same purpose. We do not use cookies in Matomo. The data collected using Matomo technology (including your anonymised IP address) is processed on our servers in Germany.

The information generated by Matomo cannot be used to personally identify visitors to this website due to anonymisation.

Revocation of data storage by Matomo (formerly Piwik)

If you do not agree to the storage and analysis of this data from your visit, you can object to its storage and use at any time by clicking below: Web analysis settings. In this case, a so-called opt-out cookie will be stored in your browser, which means that Matomo will not collect any session data.

Please note that the complete deletion of your cookies means that the opt-out cookie will also be deleted and may have to be reactivated by you.
