Subject Matter and Scope

This privacy policy informs the users of the Onventis websites, the Onventis Supplier Portal and the demo and beta accounts of the Onventis Cloud Procurement Software, which are accessed via the domains onventis.de and onventis.com including all subdomains, about the type, scope and purpose of the collection and use of personal data by Onventis GmbH.

We take your data protection very seriously and treat your personal data confidentially and according to the legal regulations. Because new technologies and the constant development of our websites and software applications from the cloud may result in changes to this privacy statement, we encourage you to review it periodically.

Definitions of the terms used (e.g. “personal data” or “processing”) can be found in Art. 4 DSGVO.

Agreement on the Order Data Agreement

For employees of a company that has concluded a contract with Onventis for the use of an Onventis software application from the cloud, the data protection regulations are regulated by Onventis in a separate agreement on order data processing pursuant to Art. 28 DSGVO (V). In order to make it as easy as possible to conclude a contract, Onventis offers the possibility to download the ADV contract online and send it signed to Onventis. The contract document can be downloaded here:  https://www.onventis.com/cdp/

Access Data

We collect data on access to our websites (onventis.de and onventis.com including all subdomains) based on our legitimate interest (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. DSGVO) and store these as “server log files” on the server of the website. The justified interest results from the control and optimization of our website. The following data is logged:

  • Visited website
    • Time of access
    • Quantity of data sent in bytes
    • Source/reference from which you reached the page
    • Browser used
    • Operating system used
    • IP address used

The server log files are stored for a maximum of 7 days and then deleted. The data is stored for security reasons, e.g. to clarify cases of misuse. If data have to be deleted for reasons of proof, they are excluded from deletion until the incident has been finally clarified.

Range Measurement & Cookies

Our web pages use cookies for pseudonymized range measurement, which are transmitted either by our server or by the server of third parties to the browser of the user. Cookies are small files that are stored on your end device. Your browser accesses these files. The use of cookies increases the user-friendliness and security of our websites. If you do not want cookies to be stored on your terminal to measure your range, you can object to the use of these files here:

Browsers offer the option not to accept cookies. Note: There is no guarantee that you will be able to access all functions of our website without restrictions if you make the appropriate settings.

Cookies, which are necessary for the execution of the electronic communication process or for the provision of certain functions requested by you, are stored based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. We have a legitimate interest in the storage of cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of our services. As far as other cookies (e.g. cookies for the analysis of your surfing behavior) are stored, these are treated separately in this data protection declaration.

Collection and Processing of Personal Data

When you visit the website, our servers automatically collect data; these are listed above under “Server Log Files”. Furthermore, data is collected and stored in anonymous form for marketing and optimization purposes. These data are used to create user profiles under a pseudonym. Cookies can be used for this purpose, but they collect and store data exclusively in pseudonymous form.  The data will not be used to personally identify the visitor to this website and will not be merged with data about the bearer of the pseudonym.

Any additional personal data will only be collected, processed or used if you voluntarily provide us with it during your visit to this website – for example, your name, e-mail address and telephone number. The legal basis for the processing is the existence of your consent as a user (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO).

Dealing with Contact Data

If you contact us as a website operator through the contact options offered, your details will be stored so that they can be used to process and respond to your enquiry. These data will not be passed on to third parties without your consent. The legal basis for the processing is the existence of your consent as a user (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO).

Google Analytics

On the basis of our legitimate interests, our web pages use for the optimization and analysis of our online offer in the sense of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. DSGVO uses the service “Google Analytics”, which is provided by Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA). The service (Google Analytics) uses “cookies” – text files that are stored on your terminal device. The information collected by the cookies is usually sent to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

Google LLC complies with European privacy laws and is certified under the Privacy Shield Agreement: https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active

IP anonymization is used on our web pages. The IP address of the users is shortened within the member states of the EU and the European Economic Area and in the other contracting states of the agreement. Only in individual cases, is the IP address initially transmitted unabbreviated to a Google server in the USA and then shortened there. By this shortening, the personal reference of your IP address is removed. The IP address of the user transmitted by the browser is not combined with other data stored by Google.

Under the Order Data Agreement, which we, as a web site operator, have entered into with Google Inc., Google Inc. uses the information collected to compile an analysis of web site usage and activity and to provide services relating to internet usage.

The data collected by Google on our behalf is used to evaluate the use of our online services by individual users, e.g. to create reports on activity on the websites in order to improve our online services.

You have the option of preventing cookies from being stored on your device by making the appropriate settings in your browser. There is no guarantee that you will be able to access all functions of our website without restrictions if your browser does not allow cookies.

You can also use a browser plug-in to prevent the information collected by cookies (including your IP address) from being sent to Google Inc. and used by Google Inc. The following link will lead you to the corresponding plugin:https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en

Alternatively, by clicking on this link, you can prevent Google Analytics from collecting data about you within this website by deactivating Google Analytics. Click on the link above to download an opt-out cookie. Your browser must therefore always allow the storage of cookies for this purpose. If you delete your cookies regularly, you will need to click the link again each time you visit this website.

Here you will find further information on the use of data by Google Inc.:

Google AdWords

As an AdWords customer, we also use Google Conversion Tracking, an analysis service provided by Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; “Google”). Google AdWords places a cookie on your computer (“conversion cookie”) if you have reached our website via a Google advertisement. These cookies expire after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. If you visit certain pages from us and the cookie has not expired yet, Google and we can recognize that someone clicked on the ad and was forwarded to our page. Each AdWords customer receives a different cookie. Cookies can therefore not be tracked via the websites of AdWords customers. The information collected using the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. AdWords customers see the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, you will not receive any information that personally identifies users. If you do not wish to participate in the tracking procedure, you can also refuse to set a cookie as required for this purpose – for example by setting your browser to deactivate the automatic setting of cookies in general. You can also disable cookies for conversion tracking by setting your browser to block cookies from the domain “googleadservices.com”.
