Privacy Policy

Prewave GmbH (“Prewave”, “us” or “we” or referred to by “our”) takes the protection of your data very seriously and has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection of personal data. Prewave’s Privacy Policy outlines our practices regarding the collection, use and protection of your personal information when you visit or interact with our website and/or the Prewave Platform (hereinafter referred to together as the “Webpages”), in accordance with the provisions of applicable data protection laws, including those of the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (“GDPR”).

This Privacy Policy is intended to outline Prewave’s commitment and responsibility to the protection of personal data. By accessing or using our Webpages, you agree to the collection of your data for the purposes described herein, and to the terms outlined in this Privacy Policy.

Our website can be accessed by everyone. For accessing and using the Prewave Platform, the professional entity on behalf of which you act has either (i) entered into a contract with Prewave for a “Free Basic Account” as governed by the Terms of Service, thus being a “User”, or (ii) entered into a contract with Prewave to purchase services, thus being a “Customer”. If and to the extent that Prewave acts as the processor for the User or Customer being the controller, an additional Data Processing Agreement is concluded (i) with the Customer as part of the contractual framework of the agreement governing the respective business relation, and (ii) with the User as incorporated in the Terms of Service by reference and concluded by accepting the Terms of Service.

For the avoidance of doubt, “Webpages” does not encompass Prewave’s E-learning Platform or its related services and the Whistleblower System, for which separate privacy policies are in place.

The attributed meaning and definitions herein shall be the same as those established in the text of the GDPR.

II. General information on processing of personal data

  1. Processing of personal data

In general, we only process personal data to the extent necessary to provide functional Webpages and to allow communication with Prewave. The processing of personal data generally only takes place subject to your consent. An exception applies in cases in which prior consent cannot be obtained for factual reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by law.

  1. Description of the processing of data

Personal data received, gathered or otherwise obtained through our Webpages are only processed to the extent necessary in order to operate and make available the Webpages or to improve your experience.

  • Personal information: When you use our Webpages, we may collect personal information such as your name, email address, phone number, and other contact details as may be provided by you. We collect this information when you voluntarily provide it, such as when you subscribe to newsletters or contact us via the available means and process it to the extent necessary to provide the service requested by you.
  • Automated information: We use technologies such as cookies, plugins, pixels, and similar tracking tools to collect information about your device, browsing actions, and patterns, including date and time of access, interactions with external links, and language settings in order to analyze and improve the usage of our Webpages.
  • We do not collect or process sensitive personal data, or personal data defined in Art. 9 and Art. 10 GDPR as being “special categories of personal data”, unless otherwise agreed upon.

  1. Legal basis for processing

We process your personal information based on the legal grounds provided by Art. 6 GDPR:

Where we obtain the consent of the data subject for the processing of personal data, Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR serves as the legal basis.

If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing activities that are necessary to execute pre-contractual measures.

To the extent that the processing of personal data is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which Prewave is subject, Art. 6 (1) lit. c GDPR serves as the legal basis.

In the event that the protection of vital interests of the data subject or another natural person requires the processing of personal data, Art. 6 (1) lit. d GDPR serves as the legal basis.

If the processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or a third party and if the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not override the first-mentioned interest, Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing.

  1. How we use your information (purposes of data processing)

We use your personal information for various purposes:

  • Providing services: We use your personal information to provide and improve the services we provide through our Webpages and to guarantee functionality and security.
  • Analytics: We use cookies and similar technologies to collect anonymous data about your Webpages usage, such as page views, click-through rates, and session duration, to analyze trends and performance metrics. We may analyze your interactions with our Webpages to personalize and improve your experience.
  • Advertising: We may use your browsing behavior to personalize the advertising and promotional messages you see on our Webpages or through third party platforms.
  • Functionality, preferences: We use cookies to remember selected preferences and settings to improve (overall) usability and convenience.
  • Communications: We use your contact information to send you transactional emails, updates, newsletters, promotional materials, and other communications as requested by you.

This may include your personal data if you are acting or using the service on behalf of the User or Customer.

  1. Duration of storage

The personal data of the data subject will be deleted, blocked or anonymized as soon as the purpose is fulfilled or the purpose of storage no longer applies. Data may also be stored if the European or national legislator has stipulated this in EU regulations, laws or other provisions to which Prewave is subject. The data will also be deleted, blocked or anonymized if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned provisions expires, unless there is a need for further storage of the data for the conclusion or fulfillment of a contract.

In case the personal data collected is subject to a contractual agreement between a Customer or User and Prewave, which requires (extended) storage and processing, the separate Data Processing Agreement will govern the processing as laid down above.

  1. Transfer of data and third party services

Prewave utilizes third parties services in connection with its Webpages’ collection of information as described herein. Your personal information will be exclusively shared with carefully selected service providers and partner companies under contractual obligations. Moreover, we will only disclose your data to entities situated within the European Economic Area, thereby subject to EU data protection laws, or to those mandated to adhere to an equivalent level of protection, as determined by an adequacy decision from the European Commission. In cases where we engage service providers in non-European countries, we implement additional measures in line with Art. 44 et seq. GDPR. These measures are designed to ensure a sufficient level of data protection during the transfer of personal information. This guarantees that the transfer is generally permissible and meets the specific requirements for transfers to non-European countries. Examples of such measures include entering into EU standard contractual clauses and implementing additional technical and organizational safeguards.

The third party providers Prewave operates with are listed in Appendix 1 to this Privacy Policy, if not already listed within this Privacy Policy.

  1. Third party links

Our Webpages may contain links to third party websites. These external websites have their own privacy policies, and we are not responsible for their practices. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of these third party websites directly. Unless explicitly stated, Prewave has no affiliation, commercial or other relation with the third party to whom those websites belong.

  1. Security measures

No method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is entirely secure, thus we cannot guarantee absolute security. However, we implement appropriate and reasonable security measures to protect your personal information to the highest extent possible. Prewave has administrative, technical and physical safeguards in place that will act to protect any personal information that you give us. These safeguards protect you against accidental, unlawful or unauthorized loss, modification, access disclosure or use.

That being said, it is important that you also take steps to protect your personal information like:

To help us understand your use of our Services, we may use Google Analytics and other third-party services to help us with the administration and efficiency of our Services, such as sending emails. These third-party providers may be given or may have access to your information but agree to receive and use this information only to provide services to us, on our behalf. We never share, sell, rent or trade any information with third parties for their promotional purpose.

We may release information when said release is appropriate to comply with the law, enforce our site policies, or protect ours or others’ rights, property or safety.

Emails and Newsletters

The emails and newslettes we send contain so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic embedded in such e-mails, which are sent in HTML format to enable log file recording and analysis. This allows a statistical analysis of the success or failure of online marketing campaigns. Based on the embedded tracking pixel, we may see if and when an e-mail was opened by a data subject, and which links in the e-mail were called up by data subjects. This personal data will not be passed on to third parties. You are at any time entitled to revoke the respective separate declaration of consent issued by means of the double-opt-in procedure. After a revocation, these personal data will be deleted by us. We automatically regard a withdrawal from the receipt of the newsletter as a revocation.
