BTI Business Training International GmbH
Silberburgstr. 126
70176 Stuttgart
Germany
The website operator takes the protection of your personal data very seriously and treats your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations.
The website operator or hosting provider collects data regarding access to this website and stores it as so-called server log files. The following data is recorded:
The collected data is used solely for statistical evaluations and for improving the website. However, the website operator reserves the right to review the server log files retrospectively if there are concrete indications of unlawful use.
Our website uses cookies. These are small text files that are stored on your device. Your browser accesses these files. The use of cookies improves the user-friendliness and security of this website.
Common browsers offer the option to disable cookies in their settings. Please note: if you disable cookies, it cannot be guaranteed that you will be able to use all functions of this website without restrictions.
If we have received data from you, we will generally process it only for the purposes for which we received or collected it.
Processing for other purposes will only be considered if the necessary legal requirements under Art. 6 Abs. 4 DSGVO are met. In such cases, we will of course comply with any information obligations pursuant to Art. 13 Abs. 3 DSGVO and Art. 14 Abs. 4 DSGVO.
The legal basis for the processing of personal data is generally Art. 6 DSGVO, unless more specific legal provisions apply. In particular, the following legal bases may apply:
If your personal data is processed on the basis of your consent, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time with effect for the future.
If we process data on the basis of a balancing of interests, you, as the data subject, have the right to object to the processing of your personal data in accordance with the provisions of Art. 21 DSGVO.
If you contact the website operator using the contact options provided, your details will be stored so that they can be used to process and respond to your inquiry. These data will not be passed on to third parties without your consent.
If you leave a contribution or comment on this website, your IP address will be stored. This serves the security of the website operator: if your text violates applicable law, the operator must be able to trace your identity.
You have the option to subscribe both to the entire website and to follow-up comments on your contribution. You will receive an email to confirm your email address. No further data will be collected beyond this.
The stored data will not be passed on to third parties. You may unsubscribe at any time.
Your personal data will generally only be disclosed to third parties if this is necessary for the performance of a contract with you, if the disclosure is permissible on the basis of a balancing of interests within the meaning of Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. f DSGVO, if we are legally obliged to disclose the data, or if you have given your consent.
We process data for as long as this is necessary for the respective purpose.
Where statutory retention obligations exist — for example under commercial or tax law — the relevant personal data will be stored for the duration of the retention period. After expiry of the retention period, it will be examined whether further processing is required. If further processing is no longer necessary, the data will be deleted.
Based on our legitimate interests (i.e. interest in the analysis, optimisation, and economic operation of our online offering within the meaning of Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. f DSGVO), our website uses the service Google Analytics, provided by Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA), for the analysis of website usage by users.
The service uses cookies — text files that are stored on your device. The information collected by cookies is generally transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.
IP anonymisation is activated on this website. The IP address of users is shortened within the member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. This shortening removes the personal reference of your IP address.
Within the framework of the data processing agreement concluded between the website operator and Google Inc., Google uses the collected information to evaluate website usage and website activity and to provide services related to internet usage.
You have the option to prevent the storage of cookies on your device by adjusting the corresponding settings in your browser. Please note that it cannot be guaranteed that you will be able to use all functions of this website without restrictions if your browser does not allow cookies.
You may also prevent the transmission of data collected by cookies (including your IP address) to Google Inc. and the processing of such data by Google Inc. by installing the following browser plugin:
https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de
Further information on data usage by Google Inc. can be found here:
https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=de
We have activated the IP anonymisation function on this website. As a result, your IP address will be shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area before being transmitted to the USA.
Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there.
On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activities, and provide further services related to website and internet usage to the website operator.
The IP address transmitted by your browser within the scope of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.
Our website uses Facebook Social Plugins provided by Facebook Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, California 94025, USA.
These integrations can be recognised by the Facebook logo or the terms “Like”, “Gefällt mir”, or “Share” in Facebook’s colours (blue and white).
