The following personal data will be stored in a log file automatically when you access our webpages: date and time of access, IP address, link opened, information about web browser and operating system, volume of data transferred, error code and user name (in the case of customized access).
This data will also be generated when any other website is visited and is therefore not a special function of our website. Data is stored for security purposes and to improve our offering. This data is evaluated purely for statistical purposes in an anonymized form. 

Processing of this personal data is technically necessary for us to display our website to you and ensure stability and security. The legal basis for processing your personal data is Article 6 (1) f GDPR.
This data is deleted after fourteen (14) days.

 

2.2    Use of cookies and web analytics service

(a) Cookies

A cookie is a small text file containing information that allows us to identify returning visitors to our website. Cookies are stored on your computer. This makes it possible to adapt our website to your needs (e.g. language, country assignment) and to assign information to session steps during a session.
Only the cookie on your computer is identified to determine whether your computer has already accessed our website.
Cookies also offer you, as a user of customized services, the option of not having to register each time you use them. Under no circumstances will personal data be generated or passed on, nor will a link be established with personal data.
The use of all functions of our website requires the admission of cookies during a session. Current browsers have a security setting that ensures that cookies are automatically deleted at the end of a session.
These cookies enable us to improve performance (e.g. load content faster) and display country- and language-specific, localized contact information. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. If consent to store cookies has been obtained, processing is based exclusively on this consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) a GDPR and Section 25 (1) of the Telecommunications Telemedia Data Protection Act (Telekommunikation Telemedien Datenschutz Gesetz – “TTDSG”).
The cookies mentioned in section 2.2 (a) are deleted when you close your browser.
If cookies are used by third-party companies or for analysis purposes, we will inform you about this separately within the framework of this data protection declaration and, if necessary, request your consent.

 

(b) Google Analytics

At MOBOTIX, we take the protection of your personal data very seriously and comply with the legal provisions on data protection. Some of the data collected when visiting this website is used for statistical analysis.
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc ("Google"). Google Analytics uses cookies to analyze the way you use the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. If IP anonymization is activated on this website, your IP address will first be shortened by Google within the member states of the European Union or other states of the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity for website operators and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage to website operators. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other data by Google. You can prevent the storage of cookies by configuring the settings of your browser software accordingly. However, we would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of this website to their full extent. You can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.

In Google Analytics, we have enabled "Google Signals" for advertising purposes. This supplements the existing Google Analytics functions to obtain aggregated data on the age, gender, location, search history and interests of page visitors, provided they have allowed personalized ads in their Google account. By enabling Google Signals, data is collected and linked to the Google account.

You can prevent the collection by Google Analytics by clicking on the following link. This will set an opt-out cookie that will prevent future collection of your data when you visit this website: Disable Google Analytics. You can deactivate the "Google Signals" function at any time via the settings in your Google account: https://adssettings.google.com.

For more information on terms of use and data protection, please visit http://www.google.com/analytics/terms and https://policies.google.com/?hl=en. We point out that on this website Google Analytics has been extended by the code "anonymizeIp" to ensure the anonymized collection of IP addresses (IP masking).

 

(c) LinkedIn Insight-Tag

The LinkedIn Insight tag enables the collection of data about visits to LinkedIn's website, including URL, referrer URL, IP address, device and browser characteristics, timestamps, and page views. This data is encrypted by LinkedIn, anonymized within seven days, and the anonymized data is deleted within 90 days. LinkedIn does not share personally identifiable information with the site owner, but only provides aggregate reports on the site's audience and display performance. LinkedIn also provides retargeting for site visitors so that the site owner can use this data to display targeted ads outside of its site without identifying the member. LinkedIn members can control the use of their personal data for advertising purposes in their account settings.
The use of the above technologies helps us to improve the quality and content of our website and to evaluate and optimize our marketing activities. The aggregated statistical information includes data such as the total number of visitors. For example, we find out how often and in what order individual pages were accessed and how much time visitors spend on our pages on average. We also find out whether users have visited our website at an earlier time. The legal basis for this is your consent pursuant to Section 25 (1) TTDSG and Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR, if you have consented. If the transfer to an unsafe third country takes place, this is done on the basis of Art. 49 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR.

4    Information for shareholders

If you are a shareholder of MOBOTIX, we are under a legal obligation to record and process the following data about you: the holder’s name, date of birth, address, and the number of shares held. Shareholders are obliged to specify these details to us.
MOBOTIX uses your personal data for the purposes provided for by the German Stock Corporation Act (Aktiengesetz – “AktG”) – in particular, maintaining the share ledger (as set out in more detail below), carrying out general meetings, as well as for giving notice when share ownership exceeds or falls below certain thresholds. The legal basis for processing your personal data is the German Stock Corporation Act in conjunction with Article 6 (1) c GDPR.
If you take part in the General Meeting, we are obliged, pursuant to Section 129 (1) sentence 2 AktG, to include you in the list of participants, stating your name, domicile, the number of shares held, and the type of ownership. Other shareholders and other participants of the General Meeting will be able to inspect these details during the meeting; shareholders will continue to have access for up to two (2) years afterwards pursuant to Section 129 (4) AktG.
Where a shareholder demands that items be placed on the agenda, the Company will publish these items, provided that the requirements under German company law are met, stating the shareholder's name. Likewise, MOBOTIX will make counter-proposals or proposals of candidates for election available on the MOBOTIX website, provided that the requirements under German company law are met, stating the shareholder's name (for details, please refer to Sections 122 (2), 126 (1) and 127 AktG.
In addition, we may process your personal data in order to fulfil further legal obligations such as regulatory requirements as well as to comply with retention periods under company, commercial or tax law. For example, where MOBOTIX appoints and instructs proxies for the General Meeting, data evidencing the instruction must be documented in a verifiable manner, and retained as well as protected against unauthorized access for three (3) years (Section 134 (3) sentence 5 AktG. The legal basis for processing your personal data in this case are the respective legal rules in conjunction with Article 6 (1) c GDPR.
In individual cases, MOBOTIX will also process your data in order to protect its own legitimate interests pursuant to Article 6 (1) f of the GDPR. This is the case, for example, in the event of a capital increase where individual shareholders must be excluded from information on offers for subscription on the grounds of their nationality or place of residence in order to comply with the securities laws of the countries concerned.  
If we intend to process your personal data for another purpose, we will inform you in advance and in accordance with applicable law.
We continue to use your personal data as well as other information that you provide to us as a shareholder or shareholder representative (e.g. questions or voting instructions for the Annual General Meeting) for the purposes provided for in the German Stock Corporation Act (AktG), the Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/1212 and the German Securities Trading Act (WpHG). This includes, in particular, the maintenance of the share register, communication with you as a shareholder or shareholder representative) and intermediaries acting on your behalf, as well as the handling of general meetings, and the preparation of statistics (e.g. for the presentation of shareholder development, number of transactions or for overviews of the largest shareholders). The legal basis for the processing of your personal data is Article 6 (1) (c) and (4) GDPR and the AktG (in particular Sections 67 and 67 e (1) AktG) .
As a matter of principle, we will delete or anonymize your personal data as soon as it is no longer required for the above-mentioned purposes, unless we are obliged to retain the data due to a legal obligation to provide proof or a legal retention period. Such obligations to provide proof or to retain data result from the German Commercial Code (HGB), German Tax Code (AO) or the Money Laundering Act (GwG).
Data recorded in connection with General Meetings must generally be retained for three (3) years. Data recorded in the share register is generally kept for a period of ten (10) years after the sale of the shares. Beyond that, MOBOTIX will only retain personal data if this is necessary in connection with claims asserted against MOBOTIX (subject to statutory limitation periods of up to 30 years). Your rights as a data subject, including the right to request deletion of the data, remain unaffected.

6    Data processed by MOBOTIX products

MOBOTIX is a producer of cameras which typically capture and help recording video data and thermal radiometry data. When one of our cameras is used in practice, MOBOTIX is not the data controller for the data recorded by the camera, but rather MOBOTIX’s customers are operating the devices on their own responsibility and as separate data controllers. When you enter any premises or an establishment where a MOBOTIX product is installed, a camera or a dual vision (thermal + visible) camera can detect pictures and surface temperature and additional analytics to indicate whether a data subject’s surface temperature is above a minimum. This information may be used by the respective operator of the camera to determine various standard operating procedures like whether someone may safely enter the premises. For further details please see the signage placed by the respective operator and data controller or other available privacy notices published by the operator and data controller. MOBOTIX or its representatives do not have access to any of the data being processed or stored by the independent operator. We help our customers, i.e., the independent operators, in setting up the system or for support, maintenance and related activities only via prior explicit approval and written authorization of the customer/operator/data controller. The system has appropriate security features like encryption to protect the data from unauthorized access.

 

7    Technical measures to protect your data

Your personal data is stored by MOBOTIX on servers in the European Union (EU), protected according to the state of the art and secured against unauthorized access. MOBOTIX employees are bound to secrecy and confidentiality when handling personal data.

 

8    Disclosure to third parties

If your data is processed by our service providers assisting us with customer service or the delivery of our products, the amount  of the transmitted data is limited to the minimum necessary. 
 We have diligently selected our processors and entered into the data processing agreements pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR to ensure confidentiality of personal data with trust and to comply with our own data protection standards.
As part of processing operations, we share your data with the following recipients:

  • Service providers for the operation of our website and the processing of data stored or transmitted by the systems (e.g. for data center services, payment processing, IT security). The legal basis for the transfer is then Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b or f GDPR, insofar as it does not involve data processors;
  • Government agencies/authorities, insofar as this is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation. The legal basis for the disclosure is then Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR;
  • Persons employed to carry out our business operations (e.g. auditors, banks, insurance companies, legal advisors, supervisory authorities, parties involved in company acquisitions or the establishment of joint ventures). The legal basis for the disclosure is then Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b or f GDPR.

 

9    Third country transfer

If a transfer of data to third parties becomes necessary for the fulfillment of the data processing purposes (e.g. delivery of goods), we ensure that your data remains within the European Union or the European Economic Area.
If this is not possible in exceptional cases and a transfer of data to a third country becomes necessary, this is done based on so-called standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission and, if necessary, the implementation of further technical and organizational measures, insofar as these are required after the performance of a transfer impact assessment.

a) passing on this information is necessary in order to implement offers or provide the services you wish to use,

Google Analytics uses “cookies” – text files stored on your computer – for the purpose of analyzing the way you use the website. The information about your use of the website generated by the cookie is generally transferred to a Google server in the U.S., where it is stored. If IP anonymization is activated on this website, your IP address within member states of the European Union or other states in the European Economic Area is first shortened by Google. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the U.S. and shortened there. By order of the website operator, Google uses this information to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports about website activities and offer additional services to the website operator related to the use of the website and the Internet. The IP address transmitted by your browser within the framework of Google Analytics is not combined with other data by Google. You can prevent the storage of cookies by configuring the settings of your browser software accordingly. However, please note that it may not be possible to fully use all functions of this website in that case. You can also prevent the capture of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.

These data are encrypted by LinkedIN, anonymised within seven days and the anonymized data is deleted within 90 days. LinkedIn does not share personally identifiable information with the owner of the website, but only provides aggregated reports about the website's audience and display performance. LinkedIn also provides web site visitor retargeting so that the owner of the website can use this data to display targeted advertising outside his or her website without the member being identified. LinkedIn members can control the use of their personal information for advertising purposes in their account settings.
