Data storage and processing by companies of the equinux group

For the execution of the contract and the use of product functionalities, your data can be stored and processed by all equinux Group companies under this privacy policy.

Data storage and processing by third parties

In a networked world, companies work together to provide the best possible products and services. We’re no different: For the sale and operation of our products, we rely on specialized service providers and processors. These include, for example, payment service providers, cloud storage and processing providers, and shipping service providers.
External service providers who process data on our behalf are carefully selected and subject to strict contractual requirements. They work according to our instructions and must adhere to appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect personal data. Where these service providers process personal data on our behalf, we enter into data processing agreements with them pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR.
Let’s be clear: We do not sell your data to these service providers; data is only transmitted to third parties in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

Data access for legal reasons

In specific cases, personal data may be shared with professional advisers (for example, accountants, lawyers, business consultants) or government agencies (such as tax offices, regulators). This is solely for the purpose of receiving professional advice, reviewing and defending legal claims, such as in litigation or out of court proceedings, in the context of regulatory investigations or proceedings, or as a result of other legal obligations.

Sale of the company or product

Your personal data may also be transferred to a third party if the company or part of it is sold. Since the sale of a company or product always includes the associated customer data, it would be transferred in this case. Any potential buyer is required to handle the personal information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

Data transmission abroad

equinux is a global group of companies with subsidiaries, business processes, management structures and technical systems, some of which are located abroad. This means that your personal information may be transferred to other countries, possibly outside the EU. In other countries, there are other legal provisions regarding data protection. equinux makes sure that adequate protection for your data is ensured. This includes, for example, the use of standard agreements approved by the competent authorities and the requirement to take appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal data. Where personal data is transferred to countries outside the European Union or the European Economic Area, we ensure that an adequate level of data protection is in place. This may be achieved, in particular, through an adequacy decision by the European Commission, EU Standard Contractual Clauses, additional technical and organizational safeguards, or another legally recognized basis.

How long will my data be stored?

We store your personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, or for as long as statutory retention, documentation, or limitation periods apply. Contract and account data is stored for the duration of the contractual relationship and thereafter only to the extent necessary to comply with legal obligations or to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims. Invoice, payment, and transaction data is stored in accordance with statutory commercial and tax retention obligations. Support requests, technical log data, usage data, and diagnostic data are stored only for as long as necessary to process the request, ensure secure operation, analyze errors, or improve our products and services. If you request deletion of your data, we will delete your personal data unless statutory retention obligations, existing contractual relationships, or other legal grounds prevent deletion.

Does automated decision-making take place?

Automated decision-making, including profiling pursuant to Art. 22 GDPR, does not take place.

How secure is my data?

We use technical and organizational security measures to protect the data you provide against loss, destruction or access by unauthorized persons through accidental or intentional manipulation. We constantly improve our security measures based on the current state-of-the-art.
