When do we process personal data?
We process the personal data which you actively transmit to us by online submission. Furthermore, we automatically process personal data based on your use of our website. Your data may therefore be processed, in particular, in the following cases:
For details, please read the following explanations.
Visit of our website
When you access our website, the company commissioned by us to operate the website processes and stores technical information about the terminal you use (operating system, screen resolution and other, non-personal features) and the browser (version, language settings), and particularly also the public IP address of the computer you use to access our website, as well as the date and time of access. The IP address is a distinct, numerical address under which your terminal sends and/or requests data to or from the internet. We and our service provider do not normally know the identity of the person behind the IP address, unless you disclose data to us during your use of the website which enable us to identify you. Users may also be identified if legal proceedings have to be taken against them (e.g. where our website is attacked) and we learn of their identity in the context of the investigations. You therefore do not normally need to worry about us being able to allocate your IP address to you personally.
Our service provider uses the processed data in non-personal form for statistical purposes, in order to enable us to understand which terminals and which settings are used to visit our website and to optimise the website where necessary. The statistics do not contain personal data. The legal basis for the production of statistics is Article 6 (1) f) GDPR.
Your IP address is also used to enable you technically to access and use our website and for the detection and defence against attacks on our service provider or our website. Unfortunately, attacks with the aim of causing damage to website operators or their users do occur (e.g. denial of access, spying on data, disseminating malware (e.g. viruses) or other illicit purposes). Such attacks would compromise the proper functioning of the data centre of the company commissioned by us, the use of our website and/or its functionalities, and the security of visitors to our website. IP addresses and the time of access are processed for the purpose of defending against such attacks. Via our service provider, we use this processing to pursue our legitimate interest to secure the functioning of our website and defend against illegal attacks against us and the visitors to our website. The legal basis for processing is Article 6 (1) f) GDPR.
The stored IP data are deleted (by way of anonymisation) when they are no longer needed for the detection or defence against an attack.
Contact requests
When you send us a message through one of the contacting options offered we use the data you submit to us to process your enquiry. The legal basis for this is our legitimate interest to respond to your enquiry pursuant to Article 6 (1) f) GDPR. If your enquiry relates to the conclusion of a contract with us, a further legal basis for the processing is Article 6 (1) b) GDPR. The data are deleted once your enquiry has been dealt with. Where we are under a statutory obligation to retain the data for longer, they will be deleted following expiry of the applicable retention period.
Live-Chat
We use the Voxtron chat plugin from the Enghouse company on our website. You can use the chat like a contact form to chat with our employees almost in real time. When you start the chat, your name and e-mail address may be additional personal data.
Depending on the course of the conversation with our employees, the chat may generate additional personal data that is entered by you. The nature of this data depends largely on your request or the problem you describe to us. The purpose of processing all of this data is to provide you with a quick and efficient way to contact us and thus improve our customer service.
In addition, we store the chat history for a period of 72 hours. This serves the purpose of sparing you extensive explanations about the history of your inquiry under certain circumstances as well as for the constant quality control of our chat offer. The processing is therefore permitted pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. If you do not wish this, you are welcome to inform us of this using the contact details listed above. Stored chats will then be deleted by us immediately.
The storage of chat data also serves the purpose of ensuring the security of our information technology systems. This is also our legitimate interest, which is why the processing is permitted under Art. 6 (1) f GDPR.
Costumer Relationship Management
As part of its general business operations, IP Dynamics GmbH uses a customer relationship management system (CRM system) in which, among other things, personal data of contact persons is kept.
The data is collected and processed in order to identify contact persons at prospective customers, customers and work partners, for correspondence with the contact person and/or the company, for initiating new and handling existing contractual relationships as well as for general contact maintenance and for accounting purposes (i.e. invoicing).
The stored data includes name, title, telephone numbers, e-mail addresses, address, contact history, data on interests in our products and services and data on purchased goods or services.
According to Art. 6 (1) lit. b DSGVO, the data processing is necessary for the purposes of the initiation, establishment, processing and termination of existing contractual relationships and for the mutual fulfilment of obligations arising from the contractual relationship. Insofar as data is used for general contact maintenance, the data is processed beyond the actual fulfilment of contractual relationships for the protection of legitimate interests of IP Dynamics GmbH (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO).
A software system of a service provider is used for the CRM system. A data processing agreement with the service provider is in effect. For data stored in third countries through the use of the system, the appropriate level of data protection is guaranteed by the conclusion of the new EU standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission (as of 04.06.2021) in conjunction with an individual risk assessment.
We keep the personal data in the CRM system only as long as a business relationship exists or there is reasonable cause to believe that a business relationship can be established or resumed. As soon as this reason ceases to exist, the data is deleted. Data that is to be classified as business letters within the meaning of the German Commercial Code (HGB) or as accounting-relevant data is excluded from deletion. Here, the respective statutory retention obligations apply (for example, §257 HGB and §147 AO).
Newsletter
IP Dynamics does not send out newsletters and therefore does not collect any related data.
Matomo (formerly “PIWIK”)
In the context of an order processing agreement, we use Matomo, a service provided by InnoCraft Limited, 7 Waterloo Quay PO625, 6140 Wellington, New Zealand.

Through this cookie, Matomo receives information about which website was accessed by you and, in addition, in particular the following information: Operating system, browser, browser plugins, browser language, device type and the IP address (the last 2 bytes are anonymized). Furthermore, heat maps are used. These provide information about mouse clicks, mouse movements and scrolling on the website. The data is stored and processed within the EU in the Matomo Cloud.
Matomo allows us to create usage statistics for our website in non-personal form, as well as demographic data about visitors and their user behavior. Furthermore, statistics are generated to help us better understand how our website is found in order to improve our search engine optimization. We pursue with this processing the legitimate interest to be able to improve our website. The legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 f) DSGVO.
The pseudonymous data is deleted after 60 days.
Here you can object to the use of Matomo.
