3. General Information and Mandatory Information

Data Protection

The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy.

When you use this website, various personal data is collected. Personal data is data with which you can be personally identified. This privacy policy explains which data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this is done.

We point out that data transmission over the internet (e.g. when communicating by email) can have security gaps. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

Information on the Controller

The controller responsible for data processing on this website is:

Unfuture GmbH
Obernstraße 50
33602 Bielefeld

Represented by the Managing Directors Ingo Roßdeutscher and Dennis Cutraro.

The controller is the natural or legal person who alone or jointly with others determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data (e.g. names, email addresses, etc.).

Storage Period

Unless a more specific storage period has been stated within this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for the data processing no longer applies. If you assert a legitimate request for deletion or revoke consent to data processing, your data will be deleted, unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g. retention periods under tax or commercial law); in the latter case, deletion takes place after these reasons no longer apply.

General Information on the Legal Bases for Data Processing on This Website

If you have consented to the data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR, insofar as special categories of data are processed in accordance with Art. 9(1) GDPR. In the case of express consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, the data processing is also carried out on the basis of Art. 49(1)(a) GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or to access to information in your end device (e.g. via device fingerprinting), the data processing is additionally carried out on the basis of § 25 (1) TDDDG. The consent can be revoked at any time. If your data is required for contract fulfillment or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. Furthermore, we process your data insofar as it is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation on the basis of Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR. Data processing may also be carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest in accordance with Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The legal bases relevant in each individual case are provided in the following paragraphs of this privacy policy.

Recipients of Personal Data

As part of our business activities, we work together with various external bodies. In some cases, this also requires the transfer of personal data to these external bodies. We only pass on personal data to external bodies if this is necessary within the scope of contract fulfillment, if we are legally obligated to do so (e.g. transfer of data to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest in the transfer in accordance with Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, or if another legal basis permits the data transfer. When using processors, we only pass on personal data of our customers on the basis of a valid data processing agreement. In the case of joint processing, a joint processing agreement is concluded.

Revocation of Your Consent to Data Processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke consent that has already been given at any time. The lawfulness of the data processing carried out up to the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

Right to Object to Data Collection in Special Cases and to Direct Advertising (Art. 21 GDPR)

IF THE DATA PROCESSING IS BASED ON ART. 6(1)(E) OR (F) GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT AT ANY TIME TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR REASONS ARISING FROM YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. THE RESPECTIVE LEGAL BASIS ON WHICH PROCESSING IS BASED CAN BE FOUND IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR AFFECTED PERSONAL DATA UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING THAT OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS, OR THE PROCESSING SERVES THE ASSERTION, EXERCISE OR DEFENSE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(1) GDPR). IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT ADVERTISING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA CONCERNING YOU FOR THE PURPOSE OF SUCH ADVERTISING; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING INSOFAR AS IT IS ASSOCIATED WITH SUCH DIRECT ADVERTISING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL SUBSEQUENTLY NO LONGER BE USED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT ADVERTISING (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(2) GDPR).

Right to Lodge a Complaint with the Competent Supervisory Authority

In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the member state of their habitual residence, their place of work or the place of the alleged violation. The right to lodge a complaint exists without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done insofar as it is technically feasible.

Information, Correction and Deletion

Within the framework of the applicable statutory provisions, you have the right at any time to free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients and the purpose of the data processing and, if applicable, a right to correction or deletion of this data. You can contact us at any time regarding this and other questions on the subject of personal data.

Right to Restriction of Processing

You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time for this purpose. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:

• If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we usually need time to verify this. For the duration of the verification, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
• If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
• If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it to exercise, defend or assert legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of deletion.
• If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balancing of your interests and ours must be carried out. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data – apart from its storage – may only be processed with your consent or for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims or to protect the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a member state.

SSL / TLS Encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries that you send to us as the site operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in your browser line. When SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Objection to Advertising Emails

We hereby object to the use of contact data published within the framework of the imprint obligation for sending advertising and information material that has not been expressly requested. The operators of the pages expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of the unsolicited sending of advertising information, for example through spam emails.

4. Data Collection on This Website

Cookies

Our web pages use so-called "cookies". Cookies are small data packets and do not cause any damage to your end device. They are stored on your end device either temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (persistent cookies). Session cookies are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Persistent cookies remain stored on your end device until you delete them yourself or until they are automatically deleted by your web browser. Cookies can originate from us (first-party cookies) or from third-party companies (so-called third-party cookies). Third-party cookies enable the integration of certain services of third-party companies within web pages (e.g. cookies for processing payment services).

Cookies have various functions. Numerous cookies are technically necessary, as certain website functions would not work without them (e.g. the shopping cart function or the display of videos). Other cookies can be used to evaluate user behavior or for advertising purposes.

Cookies that are required to carry out the electronic communication process, to provide certain functions that you desire (e.g. for the shopping cart function) or to optimize the website (e.g. cookies for measuring the web audience) (necessary cookies) are stored on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the storage of necessary cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. If consent to the storage of cookies and comparable recognition technologies has been requested, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of this consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25 (1) TDDDG); the consent can be revoked at any time.

You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general as well as activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. If cookies are deactivated, the functionality of this website may be limited. You can find out which cookies and services are used on this website in this privacy policy.

Consent via the Cookie Banner

This website obtains your consent via a cookie banner. Analysis technologies (see "PostHog") are only activated after your express consent; before consent is given, no analysis takes place and no analysis cookies are set. Your selection is stored locally in your browser and can be revoked at any time for the future (e.g. by deleting the locally stored selection in your browser settings).

Contact Form

If you send us inquiries via the contact form, your details from the inquiry form, including the contact data you provide there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in the event of follow-up questions. We do not pass on this data without your consent. The processing of this data is carried out on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, insofar as your inquiry is related to the fulfillment of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of the inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) if this was requested; the consent can be revoked at any time. The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request its deletion, revoke your consent to storage or the purpose for the data storage no longer applies (e.g. after your inquiry has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.

Inquiry by Email, Telephone or Fax

If you contact us by email, telephone or fax, your inquiry, including all resulting personal data (name, inquiry), will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of processing your request. We do not pass on this data without your consent.

The processing of this data is carried out on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, insofar as your inquiry is related to the fulfillment of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of the inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) if this was requested; the consent can be revoked at any time.

The data you send to us via contact inquiries will remain with us until you request its deletion, revoke your consent to storage or the purpose for the data storage no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular statutory retention periods – remain unaffected.

Applications

If you apply via the application form on this website, we process the data you provide (e.g. name, contact details, message/cover letter) to carry out the application process. The legal basis is § 26 (1) BDSG in conjunction with Art. 88 GDPR as well as Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (initiation of an employment relationship).

For the technical receipt and forwarding of the application, we use the AI platform Langdock (Langdock GmbH, Germany) as a processor. A data processing agreement exists with the provider; the processing takes place within the European Union.

Optionally, you can dictate your message by voice recording. In this case, the audio recording is transmitted to OpenAI (Whisper) for conversion into text — for more details, see the section "OpenAI (AI Functions)". The use of the dictation function is voluntary; alternatively, you can type your message.

5. Analysis Tools

PostHog

This website uses PostHog, a tool for product and reach analysis. The provider is PostHog, Inc. The data from this website is processed on the EU cloud of PostHog (eu.i.posthog.com, servers in the European Union). We have concluded a data processing agreement with the provider.

PostHog enables us to understand the use of the website (e.g. pages accessed as well as interactions with functions such as the solution finder, the Concierge chat or the application form). The connection is made via a reverse proxy on our own domain (/ingest); a direct connection from your browser to PostHog servers does not take place.

The use of PostHog is carried out exclusively on the basis of your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25 (1) TDDDG). Before your consent via the cookie banner, no analysis takes place and no analysis cookies are set. Your consent can be revoked at any time for the future.

OpenAI (AI Functions)

On this website we use AI-supported functions that build on application programming interfaces (APIs) of OpenAI (OpenAI, L.L.C., 3180 18th Street, San Francisco, CA 94110, USA):

• AI assistants – e.g. the "Concierge" chat as well as the Prompt Lab of the AI Academy: The texts you enter are transmitted to OpenAI to generate a response.
• Dictation function in the application: If you record your message by voice, the audio recording is transmitted to OpenAI for transcription (OpenAI Whisper).

Please do not enter any sensitive personal data into these functions unless this is necessary. The use is carried out on the basis of your consent or – in the application context – for the implementation of pre-contractual measures (Art. 6(1)(a) or (b) GDPR).

The processing takes place on OpenAI servers in the USA; the data transfer is based on the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission as well as a data processing agreement (Data Processing Addendum) with OpenAI. According to OpenAI, data transmitted via the API is not used to train the models. Further information: https://openai.com/policies/privacy-policy

Embedded Videos (YouTube, Google Drive)

On individual pages (e.g. in the Insights) we embed videos. These are provided via YouTube in extended data protection mode (youtube-nocookie.com) as well as via Google Drive; the provider in each case is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. When playing, a connection to the provider's servers is established and, among other things, your IP address is transmitted; a data transfer to the USA may take place in the process.

The integration is carried out on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in an appealing presentation of our offering) or, if requested, your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). Further information: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de
