With this privacy notice, we would like to inform all visitors to our website transparently about the type, scope and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process, and inform them about the rights to which they are entitled.
It is generally possible to use our website without providing personal data. However, if you make use of our company's services via our website, it may be necessary to process your personal data.
The data collected automatically when you visit our website or the personal data you enter when using our services are processed in accordance with the current statutory provisions on the protection of personal data.
As the company responsible for processing, we have defined technical and organisational measures to ensure the highest possible level of protection for your personal data.
However, we would like to point out that data transmission via the World Wide Web may be subject to security vulnerabilities.
If you would like to make use of our company's services and do not wish to transmit your data via the World Wide Web, you also have the option of contacting us by telephone.
The controller within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation is
Company: DocuWare GmbH
Street: Planegger Straße 1
Postcode/location: 82110 Germering
Phone: +49 89 894433-0
E-mail: docuware@docuware.com
The following person has been appointed as data protection officer:
E-Mail: docuware.dsb@itfuture.de
When processing personal data for which we obtain the consent of the data subject, Art. 6 (1) (1) (a) of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis. If you have given your consent for the processing of your data, you can withdraw this consent at any time. The lawfulness of the processing of your data up to the point of your withdrawal remains unaffected.
When processing personal data that is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Art. 6 (1) (1) (b) GDPR serves as the legal basis. This provision also includes processing operations that are necessary to take steps at the request of the data subject prior to entering into a contract.
Insofar as the processing of personal data is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 (1) (1) (c) GDPR serves as the legal basis.
If the processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or by a third party, and the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject are not overridden by such interests, Art. 6 (1) (1) (f) GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing. The legitimate interest of our company lies in the performance of our business activities and in analysing, optimising and maintaining the security of our online offering. Insofar as we base the processing of your personal data on the balancing of interests, you can object to the processing.
We only process and store your personal data for the period of time required to fulfil the respective retention purpose. The periods of time required for this are carefully weighed up and we scrutinise the necessity of data processing:
We do not sell or lend your data. Data will only be transferred to third parties beyond the scope described in this privacy notice if this is necessary for the processing of the respective requested service. We pass on your personal data to the following recipients in particular:
We hereby point out that the provision of personal data is required by law in certain cases (e.g. tax regulations) or may result from contractual regulations (e.g. information on the contractual partner). For example, in order to conclude a contract, it may be necessary for the data subject/contractual partner to provide their personal data so that we can process their request (e.g. order) in the first place. An obligation to provide personal data arises above all when concluding a contract. If no personal data is provided in this case, the contract with the data subject cannot be concluded.
Before personal data is provided by the data subject, the data subject can contact our data protection officer or the controller. The data protection officer or the controller will then inform the data subject whether the provision of the required personal data is required by law or contract or is necessary for the conclusion of the contract and whether the data subject's concerns give rise to an obligation to provide the personal data or what consequences the failure to provide the requested data will have for the data subject.
We mainly process personal data that we receive directly from you.
If, in exceptional cases, we process personal data that we have not received directly from you, this relates to such data that we legitimately obtain from publicly accessible sources (e.g. Internet, press, commercial and association registers) or that are legitimately made available to us by third parties.
In general, your personal data is processed in Germany and in other European countries. If, in exceptional cases, your personal data is processed in countries outside the European Union or the European Economic Area (so-called third countries), this will only take place, if certain protective measures ensure that an adequate level of data protection is in place. We usually apply the following safeguards to protect your personal data:
If your personal data is processed, you are a data subject within the meaning of the GDPR and you have the following rights vis-à-vis the controller:
Each time you visit our website, server log file information that your browser transmits to us is automatically recorded. These are
We would like to point out that this data may include personal data (like the IP address) and is used exclusively for the following purposes:
When you contact us via a form or an input mask on our website, the data you provide, for example your e-mail address and any other data you provide, will be transmitted to us and stored by us.
If and insofar as this is necessary for the initiation, establishment, execution and/or termination of a legal transaction with our company, we will continue to process your personal data. If data processing is necessary for the conclusion of a contract, it may be impossible to conclude, execute and/or terminate a legal transaction with our company if your data is not provided.
There are various input masks on our website for the collection of personal data. You also have the option of contacting us by e-mail. If you contact us by e-mail or via an input mask, the personal data you provide will be stored automatically. Such personal data transmitted to us by you on a voluntary basis will be stored for the purpose of processing your enquiry or contacting the data subject. We cannot answer your enquiry if you do not provide us with your personal data.
The input masks used largely correspond to one of the following:
In order to provide you with the best possible advice, it may be necessary to pass on your data to one of our "Authorised DocuWare Partners". In this case, you will be contacted by a consultant from the partner in question.
On our website, we offer you the opportunity to subscribe to our free newsletter, which we use to inform you about company offers, products and information at regular intervals.
To receive our newsletter, you need a valid e-mail address.
We need the following information from you to send you a personalised newsletter:
We use the so-called double opt-in procedure to subscribe to our newsletter. This means that after you have registered, we will send you an e-mail to the e-mail address you have provided in which we ask you to confirm that you wish to receive the newsletter. You must confirm your registration within 24 hours in order to activate your registration. In addition, we store the IP addresses used and the times of registration and confirmation. The purpose of this procedure is to be able to prove your registration and, if necessary, to clarify any possible misuse of your personal data.
The data mentioned here will be used exclusively for sending the newsletter. We do not sell your personal data to third parties. We may use service providers and their subcontractors, such as Hubspot, to process, send and analyse the newsletter. If we receive your e-mail address in connection with the sale of a product or service and you have not objected to this, we reserve the right to regularly send you offers for similar products to those you have already purchased from our range by e-mail.
In order to personalise communication, we analyse your user behaviour in every newsletter by collecting information like:
The basis for personalisation is, for example, your interaction with the newsletter or your voluntarily provided master data.
You have the option of cancelling the newsletter at any time and withdraw your consent to the use of your data for sending the newsletter. You will find a corresponding link in every newsletter.
If you unsubscribe from our newsletter or withdraw your consent, you will be immediately removed from our newsletter mailing list and your personal data will be deleted. However, we may store your e-mail address and proof of your consent for the duration of the statutory limitation period, i.e. three years, in the interest of and for the purpose of proving your consent and in defence against possible claims.
Email Marketing and Email Engagement Tracking
If you have consented to receive marketing communications, DocuWare will send you information about its products, services, events, and other marketing-related content by email.
Our marketing emails may use email engagement tracking technologies, including tracking pixels and uniquely assigned links. These technologies enable us to determine whether an email has been opened and whether links contained in the email have been clicked.
We use this information to analyze the effectiveness of our marketing communications, better understand recipients' interests, and improve the relevance and quality of our communications.
The processing of this information is based on your consent. You may withdraw your consent at any time with future effect, including your consent to the use of these tracking technologies, by using the unsubscribe link included in our communications or by contacting us as described in this Privacy Policy.
Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out prior to the withdrawal.
We offer you a blog on our website and the opportunity to leave individual comments on individual posts. A blog is a portal on a website, usually open to the public, in which one or more people, called bloggers, can post articles or write down thoughts in so-called blog posts. The blog posts can usually be commented on by you.
If you leave a comment on our blog, information about the time the comment was entered and the username (pseudonym) chosen by the data subject, in addition to the comments left by the data subject, will be stored and published. Furthermore, your IP address is also logged. The IP address is stored for security reasons and in the event that a comment violates the rights of third parties or illegal content is posted. The storage of this personal data is therefore in our own interest so that we can provide evidence in the event of an infringement. The personal data collected will not be passed on to third parties unless such a transfer is required by law or serves the purpose of legal defence.
The comments posted on our blog can be subscribed to by third parties. If you choose the option to subscribe to comments, we will send an automatic confirmation e-mail to check whether the owner of the e-mail address provided has actually opted for this option (double opt-in). The option to subscribe to comments can be cancelled at any time.
We offer you the opportunity to register on our website by providing your personal data.

We only receive a data record from the service provider, including a reference number, which may be required for further exchange with the service provider. We store the data internally in order to verify the payment. Some of the data is masked and we process data in connection with payment and purchase data, among other things:

We may use service providers and their subcontractors in this context, such as SurveyMonkey or Qualaroo (formerly KISSinsights).

DocuWare uses analytics services (e.g. Matomo) to analyse the behaviour of website visitors and identify potential problems (e.g. pages not found, search engine indexing issues, which content is most popular, etc.). Based on data (e.g. number of visitors reaching a page not found), reports are generated by the analytics service so that DocuWare can take appropriate action (e.g. change the layout of the pages, publish new content, etc.).
In connection with our marketing activities, we use web analysis services in order to be able to address customers better and, if necessary, in a personalised manner, to better understand how customers use our services or to be able to adapt our offers better and, if necessary, in a personalised manner to our customers.

Google Ads enables us to display ads in the Google search engine or on third-party websites, if the user enters certain search terms into Google (keyword targeting). It is also possible to place targeted ads based on the user data Google has in its possession (e.g., location data and interests; target group targeting). As the website operator, we can analyze these data quantitatively, for instance by analyzing which search terms resulted in the display of our ads and how many ads led to respective clicks.
The use of these services occurs on the basis of your consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TDDDG. You may revoke your consent at any time.

Data processing
We have concluded a data processing agreement (DPA) for the use of the above-mentioned service. This is a contract mandated by data privacy laws that guarantees that they process personal data of our website visitors only based on our instructions and in compliance with the GDPR.
To measure conversion rates, this website uses the visitor activity pixel of Meta. The provider of this service is Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, Merrion Road Dublin 4, Dublin, D04 X2K5, Ireland. According to Meta's statement the collected data will be transferred to the USA and other third-party countries too.
This tool allows the tracking of page visitors after they have been linked to the website of the provider after clicking on a Meta ad. This makes it possible to analyze the effectiveness of Meta ads for statistical and market research purposes and to optimize future advertising campaigns.
For us as the operators of this website, the collected data is anonymous. We are not in a position to arrive at any conclusions as to the identity of users. However, Meta archives the information and processes it, so that it is possible to make a connection to the respective user profile on Facebook or Instagram and Meta is in a position to use the data for its own promotional purposes in compliance with the Meta Data Usage Policy (https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/). This enables Meta to display ads on Facebook or Instagram and other advertising channels. We as the operator of this website have no control over the use of such data.
The use of these services occurs on the basis of your consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TDDDG. You may revoke your consent at any time.
Within the meta pixel, we are using the expanded alignment function.
The expanded alignment allows us to transfer to Meta different types of data (e.g., place of residence, federal state, zip code, hashed email addresses, names, gender, date of birth or phone number) of our customers and prospects we collect through our website. Herewith, we can tailor the offers presented in our advertising campaigns on Facebook and Instagram to individuals interested in what we offer even more precisely. Moreover, this expanded alignment optimizes the allocation of website conversions and expands custom audiences.
Insofar as personal data is collected on our website with the help of the tool described here and forwarded to Meta, we and Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, Merrion Road Dublin 4, Dublin, D04 X2K5, Ireland are jointly responsible for this data processing (Art. 26 DSGVO). The joint responsibility is limited exclusively to the collection of the data and its forwarding to Meta. The processing by Meta that takes place after the onward transfer is not part of the joint responsibility. The obligations incumbent on us have been jointly set out in a joint processing agreement.

The use of Reddit Conversions API is based on your consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR and § 25 (1) TDDDG. You may revoke your consent at any time with future effect.
Please note that the use of Reddit Pixel and Reddit Conversions API may involve the processing of personal data by Reddit, including processing outside the European Union or the European Economic Area. Further information regarding Reddit's processing of personal data can be found in Reddit's Privacy Policy: https://www.redditinc.com/policies/privacy-policy.
We offer a Support Chatbot on our website that you can use to search publicly available knowledge resources (e.g., our Knowledge Center or our Knowledge Base) to answer your questions. Neither registration nor login to our website is required for this pure knowledge retrieval; as long as you do not provide any corresponding information, no information is processed that could reveal your identity.
Verified visitors can use the Chatbot to create support requests (tickets). In order to check the authorization in our internal support CRM system, a visitor must have registered and logged in on our website (see "Registration and login on our website (customer or partner area)”). We use the information provided via the Chatbot to provide general customer support and to answer your support requests (see also "Forms and input masks"). All support requests entered via the Chatbot are processed manually by our support staff. We store the personal data you provide voluntarily in order to process your request. Without this data, we may not be able to answer your request.
Information that you provide via the Chatbot's feedback function (e.g., star ratings and comments) as well as transcripts, i.e. your input ("Input") and the responses generated by the Chatbot ("Output"), can be used in individual cases to improve the Chatbot quality (e.g., to evaluate solved vs. unsolved user queries). Neither feedback nor transcripts are processed on a visitor-specific basis. The Chatbot is configured in such a way that neither Input nor Output is automatically used to train the Chatbot. Instead, only authorized persons (selected employees) have access to this data for a limited period of time. To improve the quality of the Chatbot, we also analyse the frequency of use and technical key figures on a random basis (see also „Reach analysis“ and „Web analysis services“).
In summary, the following data may be processed when using the Chatbot:
The data is processed by us as the operator and provider of the Chatbot and stored on the secure servers of our service provider (Microsoft Azure). Apart from the operation of the hosting infrastructure, no data is passed on to third parties. In particular, the provider of the underlying language model (Large Language Model) has no access to the data that is collected or processed via the Chatbot.

We embed external content on our website that is stored on other platforms, for example on http://www.youtube.com and can be played from our website. By accessing the external content, the platform on whose site the content is stored may receive information about you, for example your visit to the corresponding subpage of our website. This occurs regardless of whether you have a user account with such a platform and are logged in, or whether no user account exists. If you are logged into your user account, your data will be assigned directly to your account. If you do not wish your data to be associated with your user account, you must log out of your user account.
The platforms may store your information as user profiles and use it for the purposes of advertising, market research and/or customising their website. Such an evaluation is carried out in particular (even for users who are not logged in) to provide customised advertising and to inform other users of the platform about activities on our website. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, whereby you must contact the respective platform to exercise this right.

When you access Google Maps, your browser will load the required web fonts into your browser cache, to correctly display text and fonts.
