This data privacy statement applies to the online learning platform provided by Insiders Technologies GmbH at www.insiders-akademie.de (hereinafter referred to as the "Insiders learning platform").

Personal data is all information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. The most basic piece of personal data is your name. Examples of other data deemed personal are your gender, your date of birth, your postal address, your profession, your e-mail address and your IP address. In contrast, non-personal data is data with which it is impossible to determine your actual identity or with which a great deal of work would be needed to do this. This includes, for example, the aforementioned information if we receive it in anonymous form or under a pseudonym and we thus cannot match it to any natural person.


3. Providing personal data

3.1. For simply visiting the Insiders learning platform, there are no statutory or contractual obligations to provide personal data and it is also not required for concluding a contract. You are not obliged to provide personal data about yourself. However, without the IP address you use being transmitted you cannot visit the Insiders learning platform.

3.2. Creating a user account for using the offerings on the Insiders learning platform requires the data described in Point 4 to be provided/collected. If you do not provide us with this data you cannot create a personal account, enroll for courses or use any other offerings.

10. Right to information, correction, deletion, restricted processing, objection, data transferability

Within the framework of the statutory stipulations, you have the right to obtain information from us about your personal data processed by us, as well as to assert the right to correction, deletion, restricted processing, objection to processing as well as to data transferability.

12. Use of cookies

12.1. We use cookies on the Insiders learning platform. Cookies are small text files that are saved on your end device (PC, smartphone, tablet etc.). Some of the cookies we use are deleted from your drive (hard drive, solid-state drive, flash memory etc.) at the end of the browser session ("session cookies"). Other cookies remain on your end device and allow us to recognize your end device again the next time you visit ("persistent cookies").

12.2. The cookies placed in this way are all essential and do not facilitate user tracking. They are therefore permitted to be used without your consent (as per Article 6 Paragraph 1 Item f GDPR).

12.3. A "session cookie" is placed for the duration of your visit to the learning platform. A "persistent cookie" is also placed; it saves your login name in the web browser and is retained after you log out. The persistent cookie ensures that you do not have to enter your login name every time you visit.

12.4. Most browsers are set so that they automatically accept cookies. You can disable the saving of cookies or set your browser so that it informs you about the sending of cookies. Please bear in mind that the availability of our offerings on the Insiders learning platform may then be restricted or not all their functions may be available.

12.5 The content of the cookies is encrypted (except for cookieconsent_dismissed) to prevent third parties from gaining unauthorized access to the data they contain.

12.6. The legal basis for how we use cookies is our legitimate interest in designing our Insiders learning platform in line with requirements and to make it easy to use for you as the user (Article 6 Paragraph 1 Item f GDPR).
