3.1. Legal bases of the processing of personal data

In the event that we asked for your consent for processing of your personal data Article 6 (1) sentence 1 a) GDPR is the legal basis for processing your personal data. You are entitled to withdraw any consent you have given at any time with effect for the future. 

Under Article 6 (1) sentence 1 b) GDPR, the processing of your personal data is legitimate if such processing is necessary for the performance of a contract with you or your company. This also applies to all processing operations which are relevant prior to entering into a contract.

Under Article 6 (1) sentence 1 c) GDPR, the processing of your personal data is legitimate if such processing is necessary for compliance with one of our legal obligations.

Under Article 6 (1) sentence 1 f) GDPR, the processing of your personal data is legitimate if such processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms.

3.2. Period of storage and erasure of data

Any personal data which we collect, process and store will be kept by us for as long as there is a specific purpose for such storage. Your data will be erased or their processing restricted as soon as the specific purpose for which they were stored no longer applies.

The temporary storage of data and log files is legitimate under Article 6 (1) sentence 1 f) GDPR.

6. Registration for "my-picturemaxx"

6.1. Processing by picturemaxx

In addition to downloading and installing, our "my-picturemaxx" software can only be used by registering using a form provided by us directly in "my-picturemaxx". When you register you will be required to provide certain mandatory data in addition to voluntary information; these types of data are identified separately. Such data includes but is not limited to

  • Your user name
  • Your name
  • Your address
  • Your country of origin or that of your company
  • Your e-mail address
  • Your password

We use, store and process these data because this is necessary in order to establish, define the contents of or amend the contractual relationship between you and picturemaxx as well as for claiming and settling the relevant services.

Such processing of data in "my-picturemaxx" is legitimate under Article 6 (1) sentence 1 b) and f) GDPR. We erase your data if they are no longer needed for the stated purpose and if they are not subject to contractual or legal retention periods. We will therefore delete your data after 10 years at the latest.

6.2. Disclosure to third parties

If you permit links to be made to administrators or customers via "my-picturemaxx", your user name, your first and family name, your address (including country) and your e-mail address are being displayed to this group of people for administrative purposes and for settlement in a separate protected area of "my-picturemaxx".

Only if you operate "my-picturemaxx" on your own account or you are an administrator/main contact person in your own company/organisational unit your first and your family name, your position and the e-mail address and contact data of your company/organisational unit are passed on to the partner making an offer via "my-picturemaxx" ("media provider") for the purpose of entering into a contract and agreeing the use of the researched media material. Directly after your registration we will send your data to our media providers in order to introduce you to them. For the transmission to third parties, we will ask for your prior consent. You can withdraw your consent at any time - with effect for the future. After your registration we only will forward your data exclusively to our media-providers for contract processing purposes.

Please note that some of our media providers are located in unsecure third countries (e.g. the USA and - in the case of an unregulated Brexit - in the UK, and others). By registering, you confirm that you are in agreement with this.
The processing of data as stated in “my-picturemaxx” includes Article 6(1)(1)(a), (b) and (f) GDPR and Article 49(1)(1)(a) GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time; in this case, we will process your data only insofar as there is a legal basis for this.

The processing described above serves primarily to execute the contract. Despite, the picturemaxx-network lives from the fact that the individual participants communicate with each other and learn about the existence of new members, so that picturemaxx also has a legitimate interest in data processing in cases where you have not given your consent.

We erase your data as soon as they are no longer needed for this purpose and if they are not subject to contractual or legal retention periods.

Forms

9. Contact form

9.1. Processing by picturemaxx Deutschland

You can make contact with us by electronic means using the contact form on our website. If you wish to contact us in this way, the data which you enter will be sent to us and stored. This applies to the following data in particular:

  • Your form of address
  • Your full name

  • Your telephone number (optional)
  • Your company 
  • Your country of origin or that of your company
  • The subject of your enquiry
  • The type of enquiry
  • The question and reason for your enquiry

The processing of this data is legitimate under Article 6 (1) sentence 1 a), b) or f) GDPR. We only process any personal data which you enter to deal with your request, which is in our interest. This may involve the initiation of a contract. The data are erased as soon as they are no longer required for the purpose for which they have been collected and provided that they are not subject to any legal or contractual archiving obligations. The conversation has come to an end when it is apparent from the circumstances that the matter being discussed has been finally clarified. 

If we have obtained your consent and your data are processed by us for marketing purposes, the following applies: You can withdraw your consent to picturemaxx for the processing or any other use of your personal data at any time with effect for the future. In this case, the conversation cannot be continued. All personal data which are stored when contact is made are then erased if they are not required to be retained by law and if no other legal grounds for processing the data exist.

The following data are also stored at the time you send your message:

  • Your IP address 
  • The date and time at which you have made contact

These additional personal data processed during the transmission operation are used to prevent the contact form from being misused and to ensure the security of our information technology systems. Other personal data collected during transmission will be erased after a period of 30 days at the latest. The data are used exclusively to process the conversation. The processing of this data is legitimate under Article 6 (1) b) or f) GDPR.

9.2 Transmission to affiliated international offices

In certain circumstances the data entered by you may be passed on to the picturemaxx international offices, if the thematic and regional content of your enquiry relates to the relevant office (order processing). In this case also picturemaxx remains your first point of contact and you can continue to assert your rights against picturemaxx.

In some circumstances, picturemaxx may transfer the data to countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA), for example to the USA. This is just the case, if picturemaxx employees abroad are the right picturemaxx contact partners to answer your request. picturemaxx will, however, take the necessary steps to ensure that an appropriate level of data protection is maintained. If picturemaxx sends your data to the United States, for example, additional measures are taken, such as concluding EU-compliant data transmission agreements with the data importer, if this is necessary.

By sending off the contact form you declare that you agree to transmission of the data entered in the contact form to regional picturemaxx offices abroad (for example USA), if the thematic and regional content of your enquiry relates to the relevant international office. You may withdraw your consent from picturemaxx at any time with effect for the future. 

The transmission of your data is legitimate under Article 6 (1) sentence 1 a) b) and f) GDPR. If your request is related to a foreign picturemaxx office, picturemaxx has an interest in contacting the employees in the foreign offices in order to be able to process your request. We erase your data as soon as they are no longer needed to achieve their intended purpose and if they are not subject to contractual or legal retention periods.

10.3.    Google Analytics

Our picturemaxx website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service of Google. Google can be contacted at Google Dublin, Google Ireland Ltd, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Google Analytics uses cookies. These are text files which are stored on your computer to analyse the way you use the picturemaxx website. The information about the way you use our website created by the cookie is usually sent to and stored on a Google server in the USA. IP address anonymization is performed on the picturemaxx website so that your IP address is truncated beforehand by Google within Member States of the European Union or in other countries which are parties to the EEA agreement. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address sent to and only then truncated on a Google server in the USA. Google uses this information on behalf of the website operator to evaluate the way you use our website, to collate reports on website activities and to provide picturemaxx other services related to website and Internet use. The IP address sent by your browser by Google Analytics is not combined with other data held by Google.

In exceptional cases in which personal data are sent to the USA, Google is subject to the EU-US Privacy Shield https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework.

The use of Google Analytics is covered by Article 6 (1) sentence 1 a) GDPR where consent is obtained in advance and by Article 6 (1) sentence 1 f) GDPR, as picturemaxx has a legitimate interest in processing data in this case. You may withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future. We use Google Analytics to analyse the use which is made of our website and to improve it on a regular basis. We will only process your data for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purpose for which they have been collected (in this case for creating and evaluating statistics).

You can change your browser settings to prevent cookies from being stored; however, you should realise that, in these circumstances, you may find that you are unable to make full use of functions on the website. You can also prevent the data (including your IP address) relating to your use of the website which is captured by the cookie being sent to or processed by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in from the following link:

This policy also provides more information about your rights and the settings which enable you to protect your privacy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en&gl=en.

11. Use of Google Maps

This website uses Google Maps API, a map service from Google Inc. ("Google"). Google can be reached at Google Dublin, Google Ireland Ltd, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. This enables us to display interactive maps directly on the website and makes it easy for you to use the map functions.

When you visit the picturemaxx website Google receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding subpage of our website. The following data are also sent to Google:

  • Your IP address
  • The date and time of your enquiry
  • The difference in time between your time zone and Greenwich Mean Time (GMT)
  • The content of the request (specific page)
  • Access status /HTTP status code
  • The amount of data transmitted
  • Website from which the request originates
  • The type of browser you are using
  • The operating system you are using and its user interface
  • The language and version of your browser software

This is done regardless of whether Google has provided a user account for you to log in with or whether you don't have a user account. If you have logged in through Google, your data are assigned directly to your account. You must log out before visiting the picturemaxx website if you do not wish Google to identify you with your profile. Google stores your data as user profiles and uses them for advertising, market research and/or web design purposes. Such evaluations are carried out in particular (including for users who are not logged in) to provide tailored advertising. You are entitled to object to the creation of this user profile: this right must be asserted against Google directly.

It is simple to disable the Google Maps service and this then prevents data being transferred to Google: Simply disable JavaScript in your browser. However, we do point out that you will then no longer be able to use the map display function.

Google also processes your personal data in the USA and is subject to the EU-US Privacy Shield for this purpose: https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework. The use of Google Maps API is legitimate under Article 6 (1) sentence 1 f) GDPR as processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by picturemaxx. We use Google Maps API to be able to offer you a map function.

More information about the purpose and scope of data collection and the processing of such data by Google is provided in Google's privacy policy. This policy also provides more information about your rights and the settings which enable you to protect your privacy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en&gl=en.
