Privacy Policy
1 OVERVIEW
The provisions of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (hereinafter referred to as: GDPR) are applicable throughout Europe. Please read our data privacy statement carefully.

The following data privacy notices inform you about how and to which extent personal data is processed by ISM International School of Management GmbH (hereinafter referred to as: ISM). Which individual data is processed and how the data is used depends substantially on the services you desire and have agreed. Therefore, not all parts of this information will apply to you. Personal data relates to information that is or can be directly or indirectly attributed to your person.

Data processing at ISM can be divided into two basic categories:

For contract processing purposes, all data will be processed that is necessary for the implementation of a contract with ISM. If external service providers are also involved in the execution of the contract, for instance logistics companies, your data will be transferred to them to the extent necessary.
When you access the website/application of ISM, certain information is exchanged between your end device and our server. This may also be personal data. Data collected in this way can, for instance, be used to optimise our website or to display advertising in the browser of your end device.
In accordance with the guidelines of GDPR, you have various rights which you can claim in relation to us. Among other things, this includes the right to raise an objection in relation to selected data processing, in particular for advertising purposes. The option to raise an objection is available in typographical form.

The websites are hosted on external servers in Europe and are thus subject to applicable European safety regulations; the legal basis for this are the processing regulations pursuant to Article 28 GDPR.

If you have any questions about our data privacy notices, please send an email to datenschutz@ism.de.

3 PURPOSE OF DATA COLLECTION, LEGAL BASIS, INTERESTS AND CATEGORY OF RECIPIENTS
3.1 Accessing our website/application
When accessing our website/application, information is sent automatically to the server of our website/application by the browser used by your end device and temporarily stored in a so-called log file. We have no influence on this. The following information will also be collected without your intervention and stored until automated erasure after seven days.

IP address of the requesting Internet-enabled device,
Date and time of access,
Name and URL of the file retrieved,
Website/Application from which the access was made (referrer URL),
Browser used and, if necessary, the operating system of your Internet-enabled computer
Name of your access provider
Language, country, city
Screen resolution
Demographic characteristics: Age, gender
Search term
The legal basis is Article 6 (1f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest follows from the purposes of data collection listed below. At this point it must be noted that in no event shall we use the captured data for the purpose of drawing conclusions with regard to your identity.

The IP address of your device and the other data listed above are used by us for:

Ensuring smooth connection set-up,
Ensuring comfortable use of our website/application,
Evaluating system security and stability as well as
for further administrative purposes
Furthermore, we use cookies, tracking tools and targeting procedures for our website/application. The exact procedures and how your data is used for this purpose is explained in detail in section 3.3.4.

If you have consented to so-called geolocation in your browser or in the operating system or other settings of your device, we shall not use this function. If necessary, you will be offered individual services based on your current location by the search machines being used by you or other online service providers.

3.2 Conclusion, execution or termination of a contract
3.2.1 Data processing upon conclusion of a contract

The object of ISM is the rendering of services, the distance selling of goods, the retail trade within the framework of the officially issued permits and the serial production of the goods to be offered. In this context, we process the data required to complete, execute or terminate a contract. This includes:

Last name / Maiden name
First name
Place of birth
Country of birth
Date of birth
Gender
Nationality
Address(es)
Email address(es)
Entry date
Billing and payment data
Phone number(s)
Course
Further booked courses (e.g. preliminary courses)
Examination registrations
Examination results
Study agreement
If available, further supplementary documents for the study agreement
The legal basis for this is Article 6 (1b) GDPR. Provided that we are not processing your contact details for marketing purposes (see 3.3 below), we will store the data collected for the purpose of executing the contract until the expiry of the statutory or, if applicable, contractual warranty and guarantee rights. After this period has expired, we will store the information which relates to the contractual relationship and is required under commercial and tax law for the periods of time stipulated by law. During this period of time (usually ten years from the date of contract conclusion), the data will only be processed again if it needs to be checked by the tax authorities.

Furthermore, the data stated above is transferred to overseas partner universities as part of your mandatory semester abroad.

3.2.2 Identity, credit check and transfer of data to rating and debt collection agencies

If necessary, we verify your identity by using information from service providers. The legal basis for this is Article 6 (1b and 1f) GDPR. We are entitled to do this to protect your identity and to avoid attempted fraud at our expense. The circumstance and the result of our enquiry will be added to your customer account or guest account for the duration of the contractual relationship.

In the course of the ordering process, we will also check your credit rating to only show you the payment methods that you can use. For this purpose, we transmit the following data to so-called rating agencies that cooperate with us: Name, address, date of birth. The processing of your contact data takes place here on the basis of your consent pursuant to Article 6 (1a) GDPR:

I hereby agree to my credit-worthiness being checked by ISM. I am aware that checks are already performed at the start of the order process and that I can withdraw my consent at any time.

Using the address specified under “Contact”, you may revoke your consent at any time with future effect. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of the processing of personal data prior to such withdrawal. If you do not wish to grant the aforesaid consent, please notify us accordingly before completing your purchase or use the guest order option. In this case, we can only offer you prepayment options that are not related with a credit risk for ISM. The circumstance and the result of our enquiry will be added to your customer account for the duration of the contractual relationship.

If you have already bought items from us, your data stored by us about you can be supplemented by so-called scores. Scoring is the process of making predictions about future events based on information gathered and past experiences. Based on the data stored about you, you will be assigned to statistical groups of people with similar entries in the past. The underlying method used is a well-founded, long-proven, mathematical-statistical method for predicting risk probabilities.

In the event of a delay in payment, we submit the necessary data to a company commissioned with the assertion of the claim, provided the other legal requirements exist. Legal bases for this are both Article 6 (1b) and Article 6 (1f) GDPR. The assertion of a contractual claim is to be regarded as a legitimate interest within the meaning of the second-named provision. If the other legal requirements are met, we also provide information on the payment delay or any default on loans to rating agencies that cooperate with us. The legal basis for this is Article 6 (1f) GDPR. The legitimate interest which this requires arises from our and third parties’ interest in reducing contract risks for future contracts.

To settle outstanding debts, we shall transfer this function to a debt collection agency and forward any data, as required to collect outstanding sums, to the debt collection agency commissioned by us. The debt collection agency initially investigates legitimacy of debt recovery and the debtor can expect to be contacted by the debt collection agency by post or, if necessary, also by phone. Finally, if the debt remains unpaid, the debt collection agency will serve the debtor with a summons and complaint which begins the legal lawsuit process. In this case, debtors are faced with the threat of foreclosure and the repossession of valuable assets.

3.2.3 Data transmission to partner companies

ISM transfers data collected when applying for a place at the university (pursuant to 3.2.1) as a CV with relevant attachments to qualified partner companies in order to provide dual study or part-time students with advance support in their search for a respective dual study place or partner. The data is transferred to partners for the purpose of the application procedure only. This data is erased upon completion of the application procedure or course of study, insofar as longer retention periods do not have to be observed under applicable laws.

3.3 Data processing for advertising purposes
3.3.1 Advertising purposes of ISM and third parties

As far as you have concluded a contract with us, we will register you as an existing customer. In this case, we process your name and address in order to send you information about new products and services. We reserve the right to transmit your postal contact data to contract partners as service providers who we have selected particularly carefully so that they can also inform you about new and similar ISM products.

3.3.2 Advertising in line with your interests

To ensure that you only receive information that is of interest to you, we categorise and supplement your customer profile with further information. Both statistical information and information about you (e.g. basic data of your customer profile) are used for this purpose. The aim is to provide you with advertising that is solely oriented towards your actual or supposed needs and not to bother you with uninteresting advertising.

The legal basis for the said data processing is Article 6 (1f) GDPR. In this context, the processing of existing customer data for our own advertising purposes or the advertising purposes of a third party qualifies as legitimate interest.

3.3.3 Right to object

You can object to data processing for the aforementioned purposes at any time free of charge, separately for the respective communication channel and with effect for the future. All you need to do is send an email or a letter to the contact details listed under 1.

If you file an objection, the contact address concerned will be blocked for further advertising data processing. We would like to point out that in exceptional cases advertising material may still be sent temporarily after receipt of your objection. This is technically due to the necessary lead time for advertisements and does not mean that we will not implement your objection. Thank you for your understanding.

3.3.4 Cookies - general information

We use cookies in our systems on the basis of Article 6 (1f) GDPR. Our interest in optimising our website is considered to be justified in the sense of the aforementioned provision.

If necessary, and if no other resource is available, film clips will also be embedded via media centres; the legal basis for this is Article 6 (1f) GDPR. Please note that different privacy policies and liability provisions apply when using external service providers such as media centres. Storage and use of data by the service provider may exceed the extent of this data privacy statement.

5.3 Zoom
To conduct lectures, online meetings, video conferences and/or webinars (in the following online meetings) we use the web conference software Zoom.

Zoom is operated by:
Zoom Video Communications, Inc.
55 Almaden Blvd, Suite 600,
San Jose, California 95113 (USA)

As far as you call up the internet page of Zoom, the operator of Zoom is responsible for the data processing. However, calling up the internet page is only necessary for the use of Zoom in order to download the software for the use of Zoom. You can also use Zoom if you enter the respective meeting ID and, if necessary, other access data for the meeting directly in the Zoom app. If you cannot or do not want to use the Zoom app, the basic functions can also be used via a browser version, which you can also find on the Zoom website.

When using Zoom, different types of data are processed. The scope of the data depends on the data you provide before or during participation in an online meeting. The following personal data are subject to processing:

For online meetings: first name and surname, if applicable, subject of the meeting and description, participant IP addresses and device/hardware information
On record: MP4 file of all video, audio and presentation recordings, M4A file of all audio recordings, text file of online meeting chat.
When dialing in by phone: information on incoming and outgoing phone number, country name, start and end time. If necessary, further connection data such as the IP address of the device can be saved.
Text, audio and video: You may be able to use the chat, question or survey features in an online meeting. To this extent, the text entries you make are processed in order to display and, if necessary, log them in the "online meeting". In order to enable the display of video and the playback of audio, the data from the microphone of your terminal device and from any video camera of the terminal device will be processed for the duration of the meeting. You can switch off or mute the camera or microphone yourself at any time using the zoom applications.
To take part in an online meeting or to enter the "meeting room", you must at least provide information about your name. If we want to record online meetings, we will inform you transparently in advance and - if necessary - ask for your consent. The fact of the recording will also be displayed in the zoom app.

If necessary for the purposes of documenting the results of an online meeting, we will log the chat content. However, this will usually not be the case. For purposes of recording and follow-up of online meetings, we may also process questions asked by webinar participants.

If you are registered as Zoom user, reports on online meetings (meeting metadata, phone dial-in data, questions and answers in webinars, survey function in webinars) can be stored for up to one month at Zoom.

The existing option of software-based "attention monitoring" ("attention tracking") is deactivated. An automated decision making process in the sense of Article 22 GDPR is not used.

Personal data processed in connection with participation in online meetings are generally not passed on to third parties, unless they are specifically intended to be passed on. Please note that content from online meetings, as well as personal meetings, often used to communicate information with customers, interested parties or third parties and is therefore intended for disclosure.

The provider of Zoom necessarily obtains knowledge of the above-mentioned data, as far as this is provided for in our contract processing agreement with Zoom.

In order to give students the opportunity to view online meetings at other times and time zones, these are recorded on voluntary basis. Recorded online meetings will be deleted after one week. The lecturer has to activate the recording of his course himself.

Zoom is a service provided by a provider from the USA. Processing of personal data therefore also takes place in a third country. We have concluded an order processing contract with the provider of Zoom. An appropriate level of data protection is guaranteed on the one hand by the "Privacy Shield" certification of Zoom Video Communications, Inc. but also by the conclusion of the EU standard contract clauses.

The legal basis of the data processing is Article 6 (1 b) and (f) GDPR and the EU-US Privacy Shield (https://www.privacyshield.gov/list). Information on data protection at Zoom can be found here: https://zoom.us/docs/de-de/privacy-and-legal.html

8.2 Right to object
The above mentioned general right to object applies to all purposes for processing described in this data privacy information that are processed on the basis of Article 6 (1f) GDPR. In contrast to the special right to object to data processing for marketing purposes (see 3.3.3 above), we are, according to GDPR, only obliged to implement such a general right to object if you can provide grounds of superordinate importance (e.g. a possible risk to life or health). In addition, the possibility exists to contact a supervisory authority or the data controller.

9 DATA SECURITY
All data transmitted by you personally, including your payment data, is transferred with the generally normal and secure standard SSL (Secure Socket Layer). SSL is a secure and trusted standard, which is also used in online banking, for example. Among other things, you can recognise a secure SSL connection by the attached s in the http (for example https://…) in the address list of your browser or by the lock symbol in the lower part of your browser.

We also use suitable technical and organisational security measures in order to protect your personal data saved by us against manipulation, partial or complete loss or unauthorised third-party access. We endeavour to constantly improve our security measures in line with technical developments. Data exchange between the server and a computer (client) accessing the server is secured by SSL certificates with the secure hash algorithm SHA-256. This applies to www.ism.de, en.ism.de und blog.ism.de.
