The protection of personal data is a very important concern of Teamwire GmbH. The Teamwire GmbH is aware of the sensitivity of personal data and therefore committed to the confidential and responsible handling of user data in compliance with data protection regulations. We see ourselves as a service provider to enterprises and the public sector and access data only when we need it to provide our services.

 

In order to protect your personal data managed by Teamwire GmbH against accidental or intentional manipulation, loss, destruction or access by unauthorized persons, our technical and organizational measures are constantly being improved in line with technological developments. In addition, our employees, subcontractors and other auxiliary persons are obliged to maintain confidentiality and data protection and get regularly trained accordingly.

 

2. Scope of Processing of Personal Data

 

In principle, we process personal data of our users only to the extent necessary for the provision of functional applications, clients, software, servers and APIs (hereinafter referred to as “Apps and Services”), websites and newsletters as well as our content and services. The processing of personal data of our users takes place only with the consent of the user. An exception applies to cases in which prior consent can not be obtained for specific reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by law.

 

3. Legal Basis for the Processing of Personal Data

 

Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis.

 

For the processing of personal data necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a contracting party, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations required to carry out pre-contractual actions.

 

Insofar as processing of personal data is required to fulfill a legal obligation that our company is subject to, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR serves as the legal basis.

 

In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. d GDPR serves as the legal basis.

 

If processing is necessary to safeguard the legitimate interests of our company or a third party, and if the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not prevail over the first interest, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing.

 

4. Data Deletion and Storage Duration

 

The personal data of the data subject will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of the storage is cancelled. In addition, such storage may take place if provided by regulations, laws or other provisions by the EU or a national legislator in the EU to which Teamwire GmbH is subject to. Blocking or deletion of the data also takes place when a storage period prescribed by these standards expires, unless there is a need for further storage of the data for conclusion of a contract or fulfillment of a contract.

 

IV. Provision of the Website and Creation of Logfiles

If you have given us your consent to the use of cookies on the basis of a notice (“cookie banner”) issued by us on the website, the lawfulness of the use is additionally based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. The following description of the tracking and analysis tools also shows the respective processing purposes and the processed data.

 

1. Google Analytics

 

a. Scope and Purpose of the Processing

 

Our website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountainview, CA 94043 USA (“Google”). Google Analytics uses cookies, to help the website analyse how users use the site.

 

The information generated by these cookies, for example about the time, place and frequency of your use of this website, is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. When using Google Analytics, it is not excluded that cookies set by Google Analytics may collect other personal data in addition to the IP address. We would like to point out that Google may transfer this information to third parties if this is required by law or if third parties process this data on behalf of Google.

 

Google will use the information generated by cookies on behalf of the operator of this website to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activities and to provide the website operator with further services associated with website and internet use. The IP address transmitted by your browser within the framework of Google Analytics is not merged by Google with other data according to its own statements.

 

You can generally prevent cookies from being saved by adjusting your browser settings 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.

 

To prevent information about your use of the website from being collected by Google Analytics and transmitted to Google Analytics, you can download and install a plug-in for your browser under the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en. This plug-in prevents information about your visit to the website from being transmitted to Google Analytics. This plug-in does not prevent any other analysis.

 

Please note that you cannot use the browser plug-in described above when visiting our website via the browser of a mobile device (smartphone or tablet). By clicking on this link, an opt-out cookie is placed in your browser. This prevents information about your visit to the website from being transmitted to Google Analytics. Please note that the opt-out cookie is only valid for this browser and only for this domain. If you delete the cookies in the browser, the opt-out cookie will also be deleted. To further prevent the collection by Google Analytics, you have to click the link again. The use of the opt-out cookie is also possible as an alternative to the above plug-in when using the browser on your computer.

 

To ensure the best possible protection of your personal data, Google Analytics has been extended on this website by the code “anonymizeIp”. This code has the effect that the last 8 bits of the IP addresses are deleted and your IP address is thus recorded anonymously (so-called IP masking). As a matter of principle, Google shortens your IP address even before the transmission within member states of the European Union or in other Member States to the Agreement on the European Economic Area and thus makes it anonymous. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there.

 

In the course of using Google Analytics, personal data may be transferred to countries outside the EU/EEA, in particular to the USA. By the European Court of Justice, the USA is assessed as a country with an inadequate level of data protection according to EU standards. Due to the lack of an adequacy decision and without appropriate safeguards, there is in particular the risk that your data may be processed by U.S. authorities for control and for monitoring purposes, possibly also without any legal remedy. In this respect, we would like to point out that currently there may not be adequate guarantees for data transfer to the USA.

 

For more information, please visit http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout or https://policies.google.com/  (general information on Google Analytics and data protection).

 

b. Legal Basis

 

The legal basis for the use of Google Analytics for the associated storage of information on your terminal device and its subsequent readout is your expressly granted consent pursuant to § 25 Para. 1 sentence 1 TTDSG. You can revoke this consent for the future at any time by deactivating the cookies in your browser settings or in our cookie content manager.

The following processing of your personal data is based on your expressly given consent according to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR. You can revoke this consent at any time by deactivating the cookies in your browser settings or in our Cookie Consent Manager for the future.

 

c. Data Deletion and Storage Time

 

The storage period of the data in Google Analytics is set at 14 months. The cookies set by Google Analytics are valid for up to 2 years.

 

2. Google AdWords

 

a. Type and scope of data processing

 

We use the Google AdWords technology, especially conversion tracking. Google conversion tracking is an analysis service of Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkways, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. If you click on a Google ad, a conversion tracking cookie will be placed on your computer. The cookies are valid for 30 days and are not for personal identification. If you visit certain pages of our website and the cookie has not yet expired, we and Google can also detect that you clicked on a particular ad and were redirected to that page. Google AdWords customers each receive a different cookie. This prohibits to track cookies by the websites of AdWords customers.

The data collected using the conversion cookie are used to create conversion statistics for AdWords customers who use conversion tracking. Customers will see the number of users who clicked on their ad and were then redirected to a conversion tracking tag page. However, they do not receive any information that can be used to personally identify themselves.

If you do not want to participate in conversion tracking, you can prevent this by using a corresponding setting in your browser, for example in the form that a cookie installation is generally prevented. You can also turn off cookies for conversion tracking by setting your browser to block only cookies from the web address “googleadservices.com”.

In the course of using Google AdWords, personal data may be transferred to countries outside the EU/EEA, in particular to the USA. In order to be able to ensure adequate protection of your personal data in the event that personal data is transferred to such so-called third countries, we have concluded so-called EU-US standard contractual clauses with Google. By the European Court of Justice, the USA is assessed as a country with an inadequate level of data protection according to EU standards. Due to the lack of an adequacy decision and without appropriate safeguards, there is in particular the risk that your data may be processed by U.S. authorities for control and for monitoring purposes, possibly also without any legal remedy. Furthermore, we are in constant exchange with Google to ensure the protection of your personal data with additional measures as may be necessary.

 

b. Legal basis

 

The legal basis for the use is your explicit consent, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. You can revoke this consent for the future at any time by deactivating the cookies in your browser settings.

 

The legal basis for the use of Google Ads for the associated storage of information on your terminal device and its subsequent readout is your expressly granted consent pursuant to § 25 Para. 1 sentence 1 TTDSG. You can revoke this consent for the future at any time by deactivating the cookies in your browser settings or in our cookie content manager.

The following processing of your personal data is based on your expressly given consent according to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR. You can revoke this consent at any time by deactivating the cookies in your browser settings or in our Cookie Consent Manager for the future.

 

c. Data Deletion and Storage Time

 

The storage period of the data in Google AdWords is set to 12 months. The cookies set by Google AdWords are valid for up to 1 year.

 

 

3. LinkedIn Insight Tag

We use the so-called “Insight Tag” of LinkedIn Corporation, 2029 Stierlin Court, Mountain View, California 94043, USA (“LinkedIn”) on our website. The LinkedIn Insight Tag creates a unique cookie in your browser and enables the collection of the following data, among others: IP address, device and browser characteristics, and page events (e.g., page views). LinkedIn does not share any personally identifiable information with us, but only provides anonymized reports on website audience and ad performance. We are therefore unable to draw conclusions about individual members using the page insights information. Using this technology, we can track the effectiveness of our ads as well as website interaction information.

In addition, LinkedIn offers the possibility of retargeting via the Insight Tag. We can use this tag to display targeted advertising outside our website without identifying you as a website visitor.

If you are a member of LinkedIn and have allowed LinkedIn to do so via your account’s privacy settings, LinkedIn may also link the information it collects about your visit to us to your member account. You can view and change the privacy settings of your LinkedIn profile at any time.

The legal basis for the use of the LinkedIn Insight tag for the associated storage of information on your end device and its subsequent readout is your expressly granted consent pursuant to Section 25 (1) sentence 1 TTDSG. You can revoke this consent for the future at any time by deactivating the cookies in your browser settings or in our Cookie Consent Manager. The following processing of your personal data is based on your expressly given consent according to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a DSGVO. You can revoke this consent at any time by deactivating the cookies in your browser settings or in our Cookie Consent Manager for the future.

The cookies set have a validity of 90 days. The personal data collected with the help of the conversion cookie is deleted when it is no longer needed for the active campaign and there is no other legal obligation to retain it.

In the course of using the service, personal data may be transferred to countries outside the EU/EEA, in particular to the USA. In order to be able to guarantee adequate protection of your personal data in the event of the transfer of personal data to such so-called third countries, we have concluded so-called EU-US standard contractual clauses with the provider. The USA is assessed by the European Court of Justice as a country with an inadequate level of data protection according to EU standards. Due to the lack of an adequacy decision and without appropriate safeguards, there is a particular risk that your data may be processed by U.S. authorities for control and for monitoring purposes, possibly also without any legal remedy. In addition, where possible, we are in exchange with the providers to ensure the protection of your personal data with any additional measures that may be necessary.

4. HubSpot

We use the services of the software company HubSpot. HubSpot is a US-based software company based in Ireland (HubSpot Inc, 2nd Floor 30 North Wall Quay, Dublin 1, Ireland). 

HubSpot is a service platform. The service we use is an integrated software solution that allows us to manage customer data and cover various aspects of our online marketing.

The full IP address is transferred to a HubSpot server in the United States for truncation only in exceptional circumstances.

 

Cookies have a default lifetime of 13 months. In addition, we delete personal information collected through HubSpot once the purpose for which it was collected has been achieved unless a legal retention period prevents deletion.

5. Matomo

1. Type and scope of data processing

This website uses the open source web analysis service Matomo (formerly “PIWIK”) from InnoCraft Ltd., 150 Willis St, 6011 Wellington, New Zealand. Matomo uses so-called “cookies”. These are text files that are stored on your computer and enable us to analyze your use of the website. We also use the Heatmap & Session Recordings modules. Matomo’s heatmap service shows us the areas of our website where the mouse is most frequently moved or clicked. The session recording service records individual user sessions. We can replay recorded sessions and thus analyze the use of our website. Data entered in forms is not recorded and is not visible at any time.

For this purpose, the information generated by the cookie about the use of this website is stored on our server. The IP address is anonymized before it is saved. Matomo cookies remain on your device until you delete them. The information collected in this way is stored exclusively on our server, namely the following data:

 

(1) two bytes of the IP address of the calling system of the user

(2) the website accessed

(3) the website from which the user came to the accessed website (referrer)

(4) the sub-pages that are accessed from the accessed website

(5) the length of time spent on the website

(6) the frequency with which the website is accessed

 

If you do not agree to the storage and use of your data, you can deactivate the storage and use. In this case, an opt-out cookie is stored in your browser, which prevents Matomo from storing usage data. If you delete your cookies, this means that the Matomo opt-out cookie will also be deleted. The opt-out must be reactivated when you visit our site again. We would also like to point out that not all functions of this website can be used to their full extent if you deactivate the cookie.

 

Further information on data protection can be found in the data protection declaration at: matomo.org/privacy-policy/.

 

2. Legal basis

Data processing is based on your consent pursuant to Section 25 (1) TTDSG, Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR, provided you have given your consent via our banner. You can revoke your consent at any time. Please make the appropriate settings via our banner.

 

3. Duration of storage

The storage period of the data in Matomo is set at 6 months. The cookies set by Matomo are valid for up to 6 months.

 

6. Microsoft Bing Ads
a. Type and Scope of Data Processing

This website uses Microsoft Advertising, an advertising program of Microsoft Corporation, One Microsoft Way, Redmond, WA 98052-6399, USA. (“Microsoft Advertising”). Microsoft Bing Ads stores a cookie on your computer if you have reached our website via a Microsoft Bing ad. In this way, Microsoft Bing and we can recognize that someone who has clicked on an ad has been redirected to our website, and has reached a predetermined target page (conversion page). We only learn the total number of users who clicked on a Bing ad and were then redirected to the conversion page. No personal information about the identity of the user is disclosed.

If you do not want information about your behavior to be used by Microsoft as explained above, you can refuse the setting of a cookie required for this – for example, by setting your browser to generally deactivate the automatic setting of cookies. You can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website and the processing of this data by Microsoft by clicking on the following link: http://choice.microsoft.com/de-DE/opt-out to declare your objection.

Further information on data protection and the cookies used by Microsoft and Bing Ads can be found on the Microsoft website at https://privacy.microsoft.com/de-de/privacystatement.

b. Legal Basis

The legal basis for the use of cookies is your express consent, Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR. You can revoke this consent at any time by deactivating the cookies in your browser settings for the future.

c. Storage Duration

The storage period for data in Microsoft Bing Ads is set at 24 months. The cookies set by Microsoft Bing Ads are valid for up to 2 years.

 

VII. Google Web Fonts

1. Type and scope of data processing

Our website uses so-called web fonts provided by Google for the uniform representation of fonts. When you call up a page, your internet browser loads the required web fonts into the cache of your internet browser in order to display texts and fonts correctly.

For this purpose, the browser you are using must connect to the Google servers. This gives Google knowledge that our website has been accessed via your IP address.

When using web fonts, personal data can be transmitted to countries outside the EU / EEA, in particular to the USA. The US is assessed by the European Court of Justice as a country with an insufficient level of data protection according to EU standards. Due to the lack of an adequacy decision and without suitable guarantees, there is a particular risk that your data may be processed by US authorities for control and monitoring purposes, possibly even without the possibility of legal remedies. In this respect, we would like to point out that there may currently be no suitable guarantees for data transmission to the USA.

 

2. Legal basis

The legal basis for processing users’ personal data is Article 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The use of Google Web Fonts takes place in the interest of a uniform and optimal presentation of our website. This represents a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit.f GDPR.

 

3. Storage period

We do not save any personal data in this context.

 

VIII. Social Plugins

Our websites contain social plugins of the social networks „Twitter“ (Twitter, Inc., 1355 Market St, Suite 900, San Francisco, California 94103, USA) and „LinkedIn“ (LinkedIn Corporation, 2029 Stierlin Court, Mountain View, California 94043, USA). It is possible that via these plugins personal data about the visitors of the website are collected, transmitted to the respective service and linked to the respective service of the visitor. Teamwire GmbH itself does not collect any personal data via the social plug-ins and their use.

 

To prevent data from being transferred to service providers in the USA without the user’s knowledge, we have used passive social media buttons or the so-called shariff solution on our website. This means that the respective social plugins on the website are initially only integrated as graphics. These graphics contain a link to the website of the corresponding provider of the plugin. Only when you click on one of the graphics will you be redirected to the service of the respective provider. This solution ensures that personal data is not automatically forwarded to the providers of the respective social plugins when you visit our website. If you click on one of the graphics of the social plugins, data can be transferred to the respective service provider and stored there. If you do not click on any of the graphics, there will be no data transfer between you and the respective provider of the social plugin.

 

Further information about the shariff solution can be found on the following website: www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/Datenschutz-und-Social-Media-Der-c-t-Shariff-ist-im-Einsatz-2470103.html

 

After clicking on a social plugin, the respective service provider receives the information that you have visited the corresponding page of our online service. Please note that you do not have to have a user account with the service in question, nor are you already logged in there. However, if you already have an account with the relevant service provider and are already logged into that account while visiting our website, the data collected by the social plugin will be assigned directly to your account. If you do not wish to be assigned to your profile by the service provider, you must log out of your user account before clicking on one of the social plugins.

 

Please note that Teamwire GmbH has no influence on whether and to what extent the respective service providers collect personal data. We are not aware of the scope, purpose or storage periods of the respective data collection.

 

However, we would like to point out that it must be assumed that at least the IP address and device-related information are used and recorded via social plug-ins. It is also possible that the respective service providers use cookies.

 

In the course of using these plugins, personal data may be transferred to countries outside the EU/EEA, in particular to the USA. By the European Court of Justice, the USA is assessed as a country with an inadequate level of data protection according to EU standards. Due to the lack of an adequacy decision and without appropriate safeguards, there is in particular the risk that your data may be processed by U.S. authorities for control and for monitoring purposes, possibly also without any legal remedy. In this respect, we would like to point out that currently there may not be adequate guarantees for data transfer to the USA.

 

For the scope and purpose of data collection by the respective service as well as the further processing and use of your data there, please refer to the data protection information directly from the website of the respective service. There you will also find further information about your corresponding data protection rights and setting options to protect your privacy.

Your data will not be shared with third parties in connection with newsletter distribution.

During the registration process, we confirm your email address (double opt-in) and refer to this Privacy Policy before your email address is transmitted to us. This is done to ensure that only you, as the owner of the provided email address, can subscribe to the newsletter.
The data is exclusively used for sending the newsletter. We use a newsletter tool with a server located in Germany.

Furthermore, we send additional promotional information if you are stored in our system in compliance with legal regulations. Our promotional information includes topics related to product information and product updates. The sending of additional information mailings aims to inform interested parties and customers about our current products. If we have obtained your email address in connection with the sale of a product or service, and you have not objected, we will process your email address to carry out direct advertising for similar products or services.

 

2. Legal Basis

The legal basis for processing data after the user subscribes to the newsletter, with the user’s consent, is Article 6(1)(a) of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Information mailings are carried out based on our legitimate interests in direct advertising, Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, or on § 7(3) of the Unfair Competition Act (UWG).

 

3. Duration of Storage

You can unsubscribe from the newsletter or the sending of emails for advertising purposes at any time with effect in the future. The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer necessary for its collection. The user’s email address will be stored for as long as the newsletter subscription is active. After unsubscribing from the newsletter, your email address will be deleted. A link to unsubscribe from our information mailings can be found at the end of each information mailing.

 

X. Contact form and email contact

 

1. Type and scope of data processing

 

There is a contact form on our website that can be used to contact us electronically. If a user makes use of this option, the data entered in the input mask will be transmitted to us and saved. These data are:

(1) Name of the user

(2) E-mail address of the user

(3) Message from the user

(4) The date and time of the message

 

Alternatively, you can contact us using the email address provided. In this case, the user’s personal data transmitted with the email will be saved.

 

For the processing of the data, reference is made to this data protection declaration on the website.

 

The data will only be used to process the conversation.

 

If you fill out the contact form on our website or send us an e-mail directly, we will transmit this data to an e-mail system provided by Google Inc., based in the USA. Although Google Inc. also operates servers within the EU, it cannot be ruled out that your data will be transmitted to countries outside the EU / EEA, in particular to the USA. The US is assessed by the European Court of Justice as a country with an insufficient level of data protection according to EU standards. Due to the lack of an adequacy decision and without suitable guarantees, there is a particular risk that your data may be processed by US authorities for control and monitoring purposes, possibly even without the possibility of legal remedies. In this respect, we would like to point out that there may currently be no suitable guarantees for data transmission to the USA.

 

2. Legal basis

The legal basis for the processing of the data that is transmitted in the course of sending a message via the contact form or by e-mail is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit.f GDPR. If the aim of the email contact is to conclude a contract, the additional legal basis for processing is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR.

 

3. Duration of storage

The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer required to achieve the purpose for which they were collected. The personal data from the input mask of the contact form and those that were sent by e-mail are stored for as long as is necessary for the respective situation, the respective conversation, or the respective contractual relationship. Any further storage of your personal data will only take place in this context if this is required by law.

 

XI. Registration and provision of apps and services

1. Type and scope of data processing

In order to be able to use our apps and services, users must register by providing personal data.

IMPORTANT NOTE

All data is pseudonymized and encrypted as much as possible on the Teamwire GmbH servers (e.g. telephone numbers are one-way encrypted with a hash function).

The Teamwire GmbH apps transmit all data in encrypted form (transport encryption), the connection data is also encrypted (metadata encryption), and all data is stored in encrypted form on the Teamwire GmbH servers (encryption of “Data-at-Rest”). In addition, messages and digital content are automatically encrypted by the sender before they are sent and only decrypted again by the recipient.

Typically, an automatic user directory is created based on the domain of the user’s work email address. Optionally, a user’s address book can be used to connect to contacts. Teamwire GmbH regards the address book of a user as personal user data. Before Teamwire GmbH finds contacts for users, all telephone numbers and emails are pseudonymized and encrypted one-way. After contacts have been found, even this data is immediately deleted from our servers. Teamwire GmbH does NOT save the data from the address books on the servers.

Certain tasks and services (e.g. hosting) can be provided by trustworthy third-party providers who have been commissioned by Teamwire GmbH. Teamwire GmbH can share data with these third-party providers. However, this only happens to the extent necessary for the fulfillment of the apps and services and in accordance with the obligations arising from this data protection declaration. These third-party providers are obliged to protect the data based on order data processing in accordance with the GDPR. In addition, these service providers are carefully selected by Teamwire GmbH and regularly checked to ensure that the privacy of the users is preserved. (You can find more information on this in our agreement on order processing.)

Teamwire GmbH only uses servers in Germany to process and store the data. In general, we try to process and save the data for the provision of apps and services only in Germany as far as possible.

Teamwire GmbH uses so-called push notifications to provide the apps and services. Push notifications are sent using the respective services from Apple, Google or Microsoft. The respective device is assigned an anonymized and encrypted identifier so that it is not possible to identify you personally. The content of the push notifications is transmitted in encrypted form. Nevertheless, Teamwire GmbH has no influence on the way in which the transmitted data is used by the providers of the push notification services. It can therefore not be ruled out that personal data will be transmitted abroad. If you do not want to receive push notifications or do not want to send any content in push notifications, you can set this for our apps and services.

 

2. Legal basis

The legal basis for processing users’ personal data is Article 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR.

 

3. Duration of storage

The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer required to achieve the purpose for which they were collected and stored. The personal data are stored for the duration of the contractual relationship. The data will then be deleted. Customers with a company license also have the option of deleting data during the term (see also “XIII. Rights of Data Subjects” and our agreement on data processing in accordance with the GDPR). Any further storage of your personal data will only take place in this context if this is required by law.

 

XII. Websites, Products and Services of Third Parties

Our Apps and Services, websites and newsletters may contain links to websites, products and services of other providers. Furthermore, users may be able to access or integrate third party products or services via the Apps and Services of Teamwire GmbH. The information collected by these third parties is governed by their privacy policy. Teamwire GmbH recommends that users inquire about the respective privacy policy of these companies.

 

We point out that our privacy policy applies exclusively to the Apps and Services, websites and newsletters of Teamwire GmbH. We have no bearing on and do not control that third parties comply with applicable data protection regulations.
