Privacy Policy

Thank you for your interest in our company. The protection of your data is important to us, so we have made it our mission to safeguard and protect your data and your rights in relation to data.

Personal data such as names, addresses, email addresses and telephone numbers are always processed in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation, as well as with the country-specific data protection regulations relevant to us. This Privacy Policy contains information about the type of data that we collect, the extent to which we collect data and its purpose, and also about the rights that you have, provided that personal data has been collected or processed.

Throughout the Privacy Policy, we use various legal and technical terms. An explanation for these can be found in the section entitled "Definitions".

As the persons responsible for data processing, we have taken various different technical and organizational measures to ensure the personal data that we process is protected as completely as possible. Internet-based data transfer can however create security gaps, which means that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, you also have the option to communicate personal data to us through alternative methods, i.e. by telephone.

This Privacy Policy applies to personal data of our customers and suppliers, as well as of the visitors to our website.

The company that is responsible for data processing ("MAGIX" or "we") in accordance with the relevant data protection laws (including the General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2016/679) ("GDPR") is:

• MAGIX Software GmbH
  Quedlinburger Str. 1
  10589 Berlin
  Germany
  Email: privacy@magix.net

In order to protect the interests of all data subjects affected by data processing, we have appointed a data protection officer. They can be contacted under the following details:

• MAGIX Software GmbH
  Data protection officer
  Quedlinburger Str. 1
  10589 Berlin
  Germany
  Email: privacy@magix.net

You can contact our data protection officer directly and at any time with any questions or concerns relating to data protection.

Important: Please note that this Privacy Policy may change from time to time. Please use this page to keep yourself up-to-date, as any possible future amendments will be made here.
If you do not agree with a certain aspect of our Privacy Policy, you are entitled to certain legal rights, where applicable. These are described in the respective section below.

If you are a customer of MAGIX, i.e. a user of our software, we must collect and use certain personal data in order to provide the right services to you, e.g.: (1) to deliver goods ordered, (2) to distribute updates and patches for your software, (3) to ensure that your software's licence is properly managed and to prevent product piracy, as well as (4) to provide you with information about offers which could be of interest to you.

Insofar as we save your personal data, certain legal rights apply (the "rights of data subjects"), which we will outline here. More information about individual rights can be found in the section entitled "Our Privacy Policy in detail".

• Right to access information
  At any time, you have the right to request us to confirm which information we have saved about you, and to request that this information be changed, updated, or deleted. We can then comply with your request. We also have the following options:
  
  • We may ask you to confirm your identity, or request further information, and
  • provided that this is permitted by law, we can decline your request. In this case, we will explain the reasons for doing so.
• Right to objection:
  If we use your data because we believe this is in our legitimate interests and you do not agree, you have the right to object. We will respond to your request within 30 days. In certain cases, we are entitled to extend this period. We will usually only disagree in very narrowly defined circumstances.
• Right to revoke consent:
  If we have obtained your consent to process your personal data for specific activities (for example, in order to send you advertisements), you can revoke this consent at any time.
• Right to correction
  You have the right to request that the personal data concerning you be immediately corrected or amended.
• Right to deletion
  In certain situations (for example, if we have unlawfully processed your data) you have the right to request us to delete your personal data. We will reply to your request within 30 days (in certain cases, we may however have the right to extend this period) and we will only disagree in very specific, narrowly defined circumstances – for example, if the data is absolutely necessary in order to continue to provide our services to you or to ensure the protection of our intellectual property. If we agree to your request, we will delete your data, but we will generally assume that you wish your name to be included in the list of persons that do not want to be contacted. In this way, we minimize the chance that you will be contacted in the future should your data be collected separately under other circumstances. If you do not wish this, please let us know.
• Right to restrict processing
  Instead of requesting deletion, you can also request from us that the processing of your data be restricted or blocked. We will also reply to this request within 30 days, except if we still need the data, for example in order to continue to provide our services to you or to ensure the protection of our intellectual property.
• Right to data portability
  Should you wish, you have the right to transfer your data from us to another person responsible. We will support you by transferring your data directly for you or by providing you with a copy in a standard machine-readable format.
• Rights relating to automated decisions (profiling)
  Under certain circumstances, you have the right not to be subject to a decision that has been based exclusively on automated processing and that will have legal effect against you. However, under certain circumstances we may have a legitimate interest in such automated decision-making.
• Right of appeal to a regulatory body
  You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a local regulatory body. Details about this can be found in the section entitled "Our Privacy Policy in detail".

Our websites/web services use "cookies". Cookies are small text files that are saved on the hard drive of your PC (client) for a defined period. An overview of the cookies used and your options for setting them can be found here:

User data:
We collect some data about our customers and users that we require to implement contracts and for license management and copy protection of our products. We therefore require your name, your email address and country of residence in order to create a user account, which is then used to activate software or content. The same information is collected when you register for our newsletter. We may also require further information from you (e.g. address, telephone number or date of birth), for instance for Store purchases, ordering of services, registering domains or ordering subscriptions. You may also provide us with further data – this is optional. The specific data collected depends on the form or input mask used, or will be clarified by our support staff over the phone.

If for any reason we require additional personal data from you, we will let you know.

Supplier data:
We only collect data about suppliers insofar as this is necessary, in order to maintain a streamlined business relationship. We collect data about our contact person in your organization, and some names, telephone numbers and email addresses. We also collect bank data for the purpose of making payments to you. We can also collect additional information that someone from your organization has shared with us. In certain circumstances, e.g. if you have been in contact with our financial department or billing department, our telephone calls with you may be recorded, regardless of local regulations and requirements.

We generally only collect your personal data directly from you. We do not collect personal data from any other sources.

User data:
In general, we use data on our users and customers in the following ways:

a) Advertising measures
Pursuant to Section 7 (3) of the law against unfair competition (UWG) of the Federal Republic of Germany, we are entitled to use the email address provided when a purchase is made in our shop for direct marketing for our own similar products or services. If you no longer wish to receive our product recommendations, you can unsubscribe from them at any time without incurring any costs other than the transmission costs according to the basic rates. To unsubscribe, simply click on the "Unsubscribe" link at the bottom of any of our product recommendation emails or send an email to privacy@magix.net.

b) Functionality of our products and security of our intellectual property rights
We are dependent on protecting our intellectual property rights, not least for the purposes of being able to offer you our products and services at their usual standard of quality and at attractive prices. In order to guarantee effective copy protection and enable you, depending on the product, to use our software on several computers, each installation of our software is linked to your user account, where certain data must be obligatorily saved (name, email address and country). It is only in this way that we can provide you with updates and patches for your software. To guarantee smooth operability of our products, you are therefore required to provide us with the above mentioned data

c) Assertion, exercise or defence of legal rights
In unusual cases, we may also use your personal data in order to assert, exercise or defend legal rights.

We may use your personal data for these purposes if it corresponds with our legitimate interests. More information about what this means can be found in the section entitled "Our Privacy Policy in detail".

Supplier data:
We will only use your information in order to conduct our business relationship with you in an optimal manner. To this end, we save your data in our database so that we can contact you in accordance with our agreement and can use your services. In unusual cases, we will use this data for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal rights.

We may share your personal data with the following categories of people in a variety of ways and for a variety of purposes, as appropriate and in accordance with local laws and regulations:

• All company groups
• Tax authorities, audit authorities or other authorities, if we in good faith believe that we are required by law or other regulation to disclose such information (for example, because of a request from a tax authority or in connection with an anticipated legal dispute)
• External service providers that provide services in our name (including external email providers, auditors and accountants, technical support)
• Providers of external IT services and storage providers, if a corresponding arrangement (or similar assurance) exists
• Marketing technology platforms and suppliers

If in future we merge with or are acquired by another company (or should meaningful discussion about such a possibility take place), we may disclose your personal data to the (future) new company owners.

In general, with your consent, we reserve the right to also transmit your data to other countries outside of the EU or EEA. In this case, we will however ensure through appropriate arrangements a level of data protection corresponding to the level of protection ensured by the GDPR.

We process and save personal data solely for the duration necessary for achieving the purpose for which the data was stored, or as stipulated in laws and requirements set by the European directive and regulation provider or another legislator to which we are subject.

If the storage purpose ceases to apply or if a storage period prescribed by European directive and regulation provider or another competent legislator expires, the personal data will be deleted routinely and in accordance with the statutory provisions.

We will adopt all reasonable and appropriate measures to protect the personal data we have stored from misuse, loss or unauthorized access. To this end, we have taken a range of technical and organizational measures. This includes measures to deal with any suspected breaches of data.

If you believe that your personal data has been misused or has been lost or has been accessed without authority, please inform us immediately. Our contact details can be found in Part 1 of this Privacy Policy.

We collect a limited amount of data from visitors to our websites in order to facilitate navigation of our websites and to better manage the services that we offer to you. You can use our websites without having to provide any personal data. In certain cases (e.g. Store orders, product activation etc.), processing of personal data may be required.

Our websites collect a variety of general data and information each time one of their pages is loaded. This general data and information is saved to our server log files. Data that may be collected includes (1) browser types used and their versions, (2) operating system used, (3) the website from which an accessing system reaches our websites (what is known as a "referrer"), (4) subpages on our websites that are accessed by an accessing system, (5) date and time of visit to websites, (6) an Internet Protocol Address (IP address) and (7) any other similar data and information, that could serve as hazard prevention in the event of an attack on our IT systems.

No conclusions are drawn about the data subject during the use of this general data and information. This information is required in order to (1) correctly transmit the content of our website, (2) optimize content of and advertising for our website, (3) guarantee the permanent functional operability of our information technology systems and technology for our website, and (4) in the event of a cyber attack, provide law enforcers with necessary information for prosecution. This anonymously collected data and information is therefore evaluated by us statistically and also with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in our company ultimately to ensure an optimum level of protection for the personal data processed by us. Anonymous server log file data are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject and deleted regularly after a deadline appropriate for the purposes of storage has expired.

You can register your personal data on several of our websites, for instance by signing up to our newsletter or setting up a user account (e.g. through placing an order or by activating a MAGIX product). The specific personal data you submit to MAGIX is dependent on the type of input mask used for registration. The personal data submitted by the data subject will be collected and stored for the sole purpose of internal use and purposes by MAGIX. We may arrange for disclosure to one or more contract processors, for example a parcel service provider, who also uses the personal data exclusively for an internal use that is attributable to us.

When registering on a MAGIX website, the IP address provided by your Internet service provider (ISP), date and time of registration will also be stored. This data is stored against the background that the misuse of our services can only be prevented in this manner and that this data may enable committed criminal offences to be investigated. In this respect, the storage of this data is necessary for MAGIX security reasons. This data will not be passed on to third parties unless required to do so by law or for the purpose of criminal prosecution.

Registration by voluntarily submitting data also enables us to offer you content or services that may only be offered to registered users due to to the nature of the offer. Registered users are free to modify personal data submitted during registration or have them deleted in entirety from our database.

Upon request, we will provide you at any time with information about which personal data we have stored about you. We will also correct or delete personal data upon your request or notification, as long as this does not conflict with any legal storage obligations. Our data protection officer is available as a contact person in this regard.

Users have the option of subscribing to our newsletter via our websites. The specific personal data you submit to us when signing up to the newsletter is dependent on the type of input mask used.

You can only receive our newsletter if you (1) have a valid email address and (2) have registered for newsletter distribution.

When registering for the newsletter, the IP address provided by your Internet service provider (ISP), date and time of registration will also be stored. The collection of this data is necessary in order to track (potential) misuse of email addresses at a later point in time and therefore fulfils the purpose of legal protection for MAGIX.

Personal data stored within the scope of registration for newsletters will only be used in order to distribute our newsletter. This data will solely be transmitted to Emarsys eMarketing Systems AG, Hans-Fischer-Strasse 10, 80339 Munich, whom we have commissioned to distribute our newsletter.

You can at any time revoke the consent you have granted for storing personal data in order to receive our newsletter.

The MAGIX Software GmbH newsletters contain what are known as tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic embedded in emails in HTML format for the purposes of recording and analyzing log files. This enables us to conduct a statistic evaluation of the success or failure of our online marketing campaigns. On the basis of the technology used, we can recognize whether and when an email was opened by you and whether you clicked on the links within the email.

Data collected in this manner is stored and evaluated on our account by Emarsys eMarketing Systems AG, Hans-Fischer-Strasse 10, 80339 Munich, in order to optimize newsletter distribution and modify the content of future newsletters further so that they match the interests of the data subject receiving the newsletter.

a) Description
Personal data is processed in accordance with the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the German Federal Data Protection Act (the new BDSG) if it is provided to us in the course of receiving an application from an applicant.

During this process, the following information will be saved:

• IP address of the applicant
• Date and time
• Personnel master data in the context of an application (surname, first name, address, contact data and date of birth)
• Data about qualifications (e.g. training certificates, professional work history, etc.)
• Other personal data within the documents provided in the application by the applicant.

In order to process the data, the applicant's consent will be obtained when sending the form and reference will be made to this privacy policy.
We only disclose the personal data received to persons and departments within our company that require it for the fulfillment of contractual or legal obligations and for the enforcement of our legitimate interest. Furthermore, we may have the personal data that we receive in the application process transmitted and processed by companies commissioned by us, in compliance with the above-mentioned legal bases. The personal data will then be processed on our behalf by a contractor (pursuant to Article 28 of the GDPR). The data is afforded the highest level of protection during transmission and processing.
The contractor commissioned for the processing of applicant data is the provider HRworks GmbH, Waldkircher Str. 28, 79106 Freiburg, Germany, which is the provider of an applicant management system that we use and operates its service on platforms of the provider AWS. There is no transfer of personal data to a third country. This is ensured by the operator of the platform used for the applicant management system. Only data centers within the European Economic Area (EEA) are designated for processing the data pursuant to Article 28 of the GDPR. A transfer of data to recipients outside the addressed entities is not intended and will only take place in case of doubt if legal requirements exist and explicitly demand this.

b) Legal basis
The legal basis for processing is provided by Article 88 of the GDPR in conjunction with Section 26 of the new BSDG, as well as Article 6 (1) b) of the GDPR.

In addition, further processing the collected data with reference to Article 6 (1) c) of the GDPR (fulfillment of legal obligations) or also for the defense of asserted legal claims against us (Article 6 (1) f) of the GDPR) may constitute a legitimate interest. In this regard, it is conceivable that the aforementioned legitimate interest may manifest, for example, in a duty to provide evidence for proceedings with reference to the General Act on Equal Treatment (AGG).
By submitting the data as an applicant, the applicant gives their express consent to have their personal data processed in accordance with the legal bases mentioned. The consent is accordingly given in accordance with Article 6 (1) a) and further also in terms of Article 49 (1) (1) a) of the GDPR. It is possible to revoke consent at any time, for which you can use the instructions below under (e).

c) Purpose of data processing
The processing of personal data from the data entry form of the application process used is solely for the purpose of processing the application. With regard to the application process, only such data is processed that is provided to us in the context of the application, i.e. in conjunction with the application.

We use this data to make decisions about potential employment arrangements. If an applicant takes part in the application process, the data entered in various entry forms is transmitted to us and stored.The decision on the success of an application is not linked to any automated processing of the data provided by the applicant.

d) Duration of data storage
The transmitted data will only be processed as long as it is necessary for the decision-making process regarding potential employment. Additionally, the data will be retained for a maximum of six months after the applicant has been notified of a possible rejection. Further storage of the data record may only occur in absolute exceptional cases. This exceptional case is defined by the possible defense of legal claims for the duration of a legal dispute. For this period, it is in our legitimate interest to retain the data beyond the standardized retention period.
