General

These terms control the relationship between us and you. They do not create any third-party beneficiary rights.

If you do not comply with these terms, and we don’t take action right away, this doesn’t mean that we are giving up any rights that we may have (such as taking action in the future).

If it turns out that a particular term is not enforceable, the term will be modified such that it is enforceable and this will not affect any other terms contained herein.

This Policy (together with our terms of use) explains and sets out the basis for why and when we collect personal information about the people who visit our website(s), how we use it, the conditions under which we may disclose it to others and the measures we take to keep it secure. By visiting this website you are accepting and consenting to the practices described in this policy. Please note that this includes consenting to the collection and processing of any personal information you provide, as described below. We may amend this Policy from time to time so please check it occasionally to ensure that you agree with any changes. Your continued use of our website(s) will constitute your acceptance of, and agreement to, any changes. Any questions regarding this policy and our privacy practices should be sent by email to hello@ioten.network.

How we collect information about you

We obtain information about you when you use our website, when you contact us via email or a web form or if you register to receive one of our regular newsletters.

Information we collect about you

When you visit our website(s) we may collect information about your IP address, information about your visit, and how you use our website. This information may be combined with other information you provide.

Information we receive from other sources

We may receive information about you if you use any other websites we, or our partners, operate. We also work with third parties (including, contractors, project partners, service providers, analytics providers) and may receive information about you from them. This may be combined with other information you provide to us.

How your information is used

We may use personal information about you for the following purposes:

Marketing:

(a) to keep you up to date on important news and information.

(b) to send you personalized messages that you have requested and that may be of interest to you, which may be based on your activity on our website(s) or our partners' websites. Information regarding campaigns, activities, and events may be included.

(d) provide suggestions and recommendations to you regarding services that may be of interest to you, based on your activities on our website(s) or the websites of our partners.

(e) for analytics and profiling to create aggregate trend reports, find out how visitors arrive at our website; which sites and pages are viewed, the responses to marketing campaigns and to determine the most effective marketing channels and messages.

(f) seek your views or comments on the service we provide.

(g) notify you of changes to our service, policies and terms of use.

We review our retention periods for personal information on a regular basis. We will hold your personal information on our systems for as long as is necessary for the relevant activity.

Who has access to your information

We will not sell or rent your information to third parties.

We may pass your information to third party service providers, agents, subcontractors and other associated organisations for the purposes of completing tasks and providing services to you on our behalf (for example to process and store information and to send you mails). However, if we use third party service providers, we disclose only the personal information that is necessary to deliver the service and we have a contract in place that requires them to keep your information secure and not to use it for their own direct marketing purposes.

We will take the necessary steps to ensure that your privacy rights continue to be protected.

Your choices and your rights

You have the right to inform us not to process your personal information for marketing purposes. You can exercise your right and prevent us from processing such information by checking or unchecking certain boxes on the forms we use to collect your data. You can also exercise the right at any time by contacting us by email at hello@ioten.network.

Security measures to protect your information

When you give us personal information, we take steps to ensure that it’s treated securely.

Non-sensitive details such as your email address may be transmitted unencrypted over the Internet, and so may not be guaranteed to be 100% secure. While we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of any information you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk. When we receive your information, we make our best effort to ensure its security on our systems.

Profiling

We may analyse your personal information to create a profile of your preferences and interests so that we can contact you with information relevant to you. We may make use of additional information about you when it is available from external sources to help us do this effectively.

Newsletter

The provisions of this data privacy statement also apply to the request for and sending of our newsletter.

The newsletter will only be sent after prior request by the user in the so-called “double opt-in procedure” (request on our website and confirmation of a corresponding request e-mail).

Users of the newsletter are also given a UserID, which enables IOTEN to track when the relevant newsletter was accessed and which links or features were triggered from it. This tracking is done for the newsletter's internal optimization. This information will not be shared with anyone else. The legal basis for processing is Art. 6 para. 1 f GDPR, whereby IOTEN's authorization arises from the fact that, on the one hand, IOTEN has an interest in evaluating such data for the purposes of newsletter optimization and, on the other hand, a concerned person can reasonably foresee that the personal data will be processed at the time when it is collected and in light of the circumstances in which it is carried out (in particular the above-mentioned measures).

The user has the right to withdraw his or her consent at any time. If the user of the newsletter does not wish to receive this tracking, he/she can unsubscribe from the newsletter. To do so, simply unsubscribe via the link in the newsletter.

You may adjust the settings on your browser to refuse cookies but some of the services on our website(s) may not work if you do so.
