Privacy policy of Fuxam GmbH for the use of the Fuxam learning platform (FuxamOS). 

 

When using the Fuxam learning platform, personal data is collected and stored. In this privacy policy, we explain how we process your personal data in accordance with the European General Data Protection Regulation (hereinafter referred to as “GDPR”) and the applicable national regulations.

 

1. Who is responsible for processing your personal data?

 

Basic functions of digital teaching as order processing

 

The Fuxam learning platform supports colleges, universities and other institutions in enabling their teachers and students to teach digitally and offer online examinations. The respective institutions are responsible under data protection law for this data processing (e.g. study administration and the respective learning content), as they alone decide on the purposes and means of processing your personal data in this regard. You can find more information on the data protection of these institutions in the data protection information of the respective institution.

 

Processing for additional functions under your own responsibility

 

Students can also use the Fuxam learning platform across courses and universities, for example to create uniform timetables and organize learning materials collectively. In addition, supplementary functions are available on the Fuxam learning platform for voluntary use. The software developer, i.e. Fuxam GmbH, is responsible under data protection law for the data processing of such functions:

3. Whose personal data do we process?

 

The Fuxam learning platform can be used by the following categories of data subjects, which are differentiated within the learning platform according to user groups (also known as “roles”):

administrators:

• 1. Administrators:

The role of “administrators” is intended for employees or otherwise authorized persons of the institution who are organizationally responsible for digital teaching (e.g. management staff of the institution, employees of the computer centers or IT department).

• 2. Moderator:

The ‘Moderator’ role is intended for employees or otherwise authorised persons of the institution who are responsible for the content of teaching in the degree programme or within the faculties (i.e. faculty members, holders and staff of the chairs).

• 3 Teaching staff:

The role of ‘teachers’ is designated for the teaching staff of the institution who deliver the respective courses and interact with the learners (e.g. lecturers, guest lecturers).

• 4. learners:

The role of ‘learners’ is intended for those learners who participate in the respective courses (e.g. full-time enrolled students, secondary students, guest students, other course participants).

 

 

 

 

4. Who is responsible for the processing of your personal data?

 

Fuxam GmbH processes the following categories of personal data under its own responsibility:

 

1. Connection and log data

In connection with the technical use of the learning platform, connection and log data are processed that are necessary for the technical operation and security of the IT systems.

This includes, for example:

- IP address
- Connection action (e.g. page view, navigation selection);
- Access status (http status code);
- Amount of data retrieved;
- Date and time of the connection action;
- Type of end device used;
- Browser used;
- Time of creation of the user account (date and time);
- Time of the last login to the user account (date and time);
- Information about the operating system used.

2. Identification and access data

Identification and access data are used to assign user roles and provide secure access to the learning platform. This includes, among other things:

• - User name;
• - Password in encrypted form;
• - e-mail address;
• - Inputs for multi-factor authentication;
• - Authorisations and role;
• - Type of end device used;
• - Information voluntarily provided in the user profile (e.g. title, first name, surname, profile picture, telephone number).
• - Time of creation of the user account (date and time);
• - Time of the last login to the user account (date and time);
• - Information about the operating system used.
•  

In addition, when using the learning platform, Fuxam GmbH processes content and usage data (e.g. for the learning materials contained in the courses, surveys and video data) as well as examination and exam data (e.g. framework information of the examination, the assessment criteria and answers) on behalf of the respective institutions. The institutions are responsible for this data processing under data protection law. Further information on this can be found in the respective data protection notices of the institutions.

 

5. For what purposes is your personal data processed?

 

We process your personal data to ensure the security of the learning platform and to provide you with any additional functions you may have ordered. This means in detail:

• - Ensuring IT security (e.g. login, multi-factor authentication);
• - Establishing contact for the preparation, realisation and termination of a business relationship (e.g. e-mails on order status, invoices);
• - Activation of additional functions for the fulfilment of a contract;
• - Safeguarding our rights (e.g. assertion of claims);
• - Preventing, combating and investigating unlawful activities (e.g. fraud)
•  

1. 6. On what legal basis do we process your personal data?
2.  

Insofar as the processing of personal data serves the implementation of pre-contractual measures or the fulfilment of a contract, the legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 letter b GDPR.

If the processing is necessary to safeguard the legitimate interests of us or a third party (e.g. institutions, IT service providers), we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 letter f GDPR. Our legitimate interests regularly consist of ensuring the security of our systems and compiling the necessary statistics for reports.

In all other cases, we will only process your data with your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR.

 

7. On what legal basis do we process your personal data?

 

The Fuxam learning platform is operated on servers in Germany.

You can use some functions of the Fuxam learning platform for study administration without being connected to an institution. However, as soon as your user account is added to an institution, we transfer your data to the respective institution.

In order to provide the learning platform and ensure its security, we use certain service providers, so-called processors. These include:

• - Hosting providers who provide servers, data centres and databases through which the learning platform can be accessed.
• - IT service providers who, in particular, ensure the security of the infrastructure (e.g. when accessing the learning platform), carry out regular security tests or are used for software development.
•

Some of these processors are based in third countries, i.e. countries that are neither members of the European Union (EU) nor the European Economic Area (EEA), such as the United States of America (USA). We will only transfer data to them if this is legally permissible in accordance with Art. 44 - 49 GDPR, i.e. we have taken appropriate guarantees and measures to ensure the level of data protection (e.g. through standard data protection clauses and additional protective measures) and/or you have consented to such a transfer in individual cases. You can obtain a copy of such regulations and agreements by contacting [datenschutz@fuxam.de].

 

1. 8. Does automated decision-making take place?
2.  

In principle, no automated decision-making, i.e. the automatic analysis of personal data without any human intervention, takes place. However, for certain examinations (e.g. multiple-choice examinations), correct answer options can be stored in the system and your entries can be analysed automatically. However, the assessment of the learners determined in this way must first be checked by the teachers.

 

1. 9. Does automated decision-making take place?
2.  

We store your identification and access data until you delete your user account. If you have created your user account voluntarily and it is not linked to an institution, you can delete it yourself at any time.

The content and usage data will be stored until the course is deleted. If your user account is deleted but a course continues to exist, your contributions will be deleted.

The time at which the user account was created (date and time) and the time at which the user account was last logged in (date and time) will only be deleted with the user account. Likewise, certain log data (e.g. access to examination or exam questions) is only deleted with the respective course or examination.

We store some data for the duration of the statutory retention or documentation periods, which result from the German Commercial Code (HGB), the German Fiscal Code (AO) or the German Money Laundering Act (GwG), among others. These periods are up to ten years. In some cases, the storage period may also be based on the statutory limitation period, which according to Sections 195 et seq. of the German Civil Code (BGB) is generally three years from the end of the year in which the claim arose and the claimant became aware of it or should have become aware of it.

 

1. 10. Integrated software and services (so-called ‘plugins’)
2.  

Third-party services (so-called ‘plugins’) can also be integrated into the Fuxam learning platform via software interfaces. If you select such plugins and add them to your personal range of functions of the Fuxam learning platform, you will find corresponding information about the respective third-party providers and their data processing in their data protection notices. Such plugins include:

• - Third-party cloud services through which you can link Fuxam to your own cloud and thus upload or save documents quickly and easily. These include Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive or the Apple iCloud, for example.
• - Note and document management, which you can use to organise your notes, lists and documents. These include Evernote, Notion, Goodnote and similar services.
• - Project and team management, which you can use to collaborate more effectively in groups and communicate with group members. This includes the Slack service, for example.
• - Document editing, which includes applications for editing documents, spreadsheets and presentations. This includes, for example, Microsoft Office applications or Adobe services.

 

11. What rights do you have?

 

As a data subject, you have the right in particular to object to the processing of your data:

• - Objection: In accordance with Art. 21 GDPR, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data on personal grounds, provided that this processing is based on public or legitimate interests.

In addition, you have further rights in accordance with Art. 15 - 22, 77 GDPR. These are

• - Information: You have the right to request information about the personal data stored by us and its processing at any time. You can also request a copy of this data.
• - Rectification: You have the right to have inaccurate or incomplete personal data rectified without undue delay.
• - Erasure: You have the right to request the erasure of your personal data stored by us without undue delay if the reasons specified in Art. 17 para. 1 GDPR apply. This is the case, for example, if your data is no longer required for the purposes for which it was collected and there is no legal obligation to retain it.
• - Restriction of processing: You have the right to request the restriction of processing under the conditions set out in Art. 18 (1) GDPR. This means that we can only process certain personal data - apart from storing it - with your consent or in other cases specified by law. This is the case, for example, if you dispute the accuracy of your data and we need time to check this.
• - Data transfer: You have the right to have us provide you with your personal data in a machine-readable format or transfer it to another controller, insofar as this is technically feasible.
• - Withdrawal of consent: You have the right to withdraw your consent to processing at any time. Please note that the revocation only applies to future processing and does not affect the legality of the processing carried out previously.
• - Complaint: You have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority for data protection, e.g. the supervisory authority responsible for us. This is:

1. Introduction

In the following, we provide information about the collection of personal data when using

● our website fuxam.com

● our profiles in social media.

Personal data is any data that can be related to a specific natural person, such as their name or IP address.

 

1.1. Contact details

The controller within the meaning of Art. 4 para. 7 EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is Fuxam GmbH, c/o L. van den Brandt, Hilda-Geiringer-Weg 7, 10557 Berlin, Germany,

Email: privacy@fuxam.com.

We are legally represented by Julian Schröder, Oliver Grübnau & Leo van den Brandt.

 

Our data protection officer can be reached via heyData GmbH, Schützenstraße 5, 10117 Berlin, www.heydata.eu, E-Mail: datenschutz@heydata.eu.

 

1.2. Scope of data processing, processing purposes and legal bases

We detail the scope of data processing, processing purposes and legal bases below. In principle, the following come into consideration as the legal basis for data processing:

 

● Art. 6 para. 1 s. 1 it. a GDPR serves as our legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent.

● Art. 6 para. 1 s. 1 lit. b GDPR is the legal basis insofar as the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract, e.g. if a site visitor purchases a product from us or we perform a service for him. This legal basis also applies to processing that is necessary for pre-contractual measures, such as in the case of inquiries about our products or services.

● Art. 6 para. 1 s. 1 lit. c GDPR applies if we fulfill a legal obligation by processing personal data, as may be the case, for example, in tax law.

● Art. 6 para. 1 s. 1 lit. f GDPR serves as the legal basis when we can rely on legitimate interests to process personal data, e.g. for cookies that are necessary for the technical operation of our website.

 

1.3. Data processing outside the EEA

Insofar as we transfer data to service providers or other third parties outside the EEA, the security of the data during the transfer is guaranteed by adequacy decisions of the EU Commission, insofar as they exist (e.g. for Great Britain, Canada and Israel) (Art. 45 para. 3 GDPR).

If no adequacy decision exists (e.g. for the USA), the legal basis for the data transfer are usually, i.e. unless we indicate otherwise, standard contractual clauses. These are a set of rules adopted by the EU Commission and are part of the contract with the respective third party. According to Art. 46 para. 2 lit. b GDPR, they ensure the security of the data transfer. Many of the providers have given contractual guarantees that go beyond the standard contractual clauses to protect the data. These include, for example, guarantees regarding the encryption of data or regarding an obligation on the part of the third party to notify data subjects if law enforcement agencies wish to access the respective data.

 

1.4. Storage duration

Unless expressly stated in this privacy policy, the data stored by us will be deleted as soon as they are no longer required for their intended purpose and no legal obligations to retain data conflict with the deletion. If the data are not deleted because they are required for other and legally permissible purposes, their processing is restricted, i.e. the data are blocked and not processed for other purposes. This applies, for example, to data that must be retained for commercial or tax law reasons.

 

1.5. Rights of data subjects

Data subjects have the following rights against us with regard to their personal data:

● Right of access,

● Right to correction or deletion,

● Right to limit processing,

● Right to object to the processing,

● Right to data transferability,

● Right to revoke a given consent at any time.

Data subjects also have the right to complain to a data protection supervisory authority about the processing of their personal data. Contact details of the data protection supervisory authorities are available at https://www.bfdi.bund.de/EN/Service/Anschriften/Laender/Laender-node.html.

 

1.6. Obligation to provide data

Within the scope of the business or other relationship, customers, prospective customers or third parties need to provide us with personal data that is necessary for the establishment, execution and termination of a business or other relationship or that we are legally obliged to collect. Without this data, we will generally have to refuse to conclude the contract or to provide a service or will no longer be able to perform an existing contract or other relationship.

Mandatory data are marked as such.

 

1.7. No automatic decision making in individual cases

As a matter of principle, we do not use a fully automated decision-making process in accordance with article 22 GDPR to establish and implement the business or other relationship. Should we use these procedures in individual cases, we will inform of this separately if this is required by law.

 

1.8. Making contact

When contacting us, e.g. by e-mail or telephone, the data provided to us (e.g. names and e-mail addresses) will be stored by us in order to answer questions. The legal basis for the processing is our legitimate interest (Art. 6 para. 1 s. 1 lit. f GDPR) to answer inquiries directed to us. We delete the data accruing in this context after the storage is no longer necessary or restrict the processing if there are legal retention obligations.

 

1.9. Customer surveys

From time to time, we conduct customer surveys to get to know our customers and their wishes better. In doing so, we collect the data requested in each case. It is our legitimate interest to get to know our customers and their wishes better, so that the legal basis for the associated data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 s. 1 lit f GDPR. We delete the data when the results of the surveys have been evaluated.

 

2. Data processing on our website

 

2.1. Notice for website visitors from Germany

Our website stores information in the terminal equipment of website visitors (e.g. cookies) or accesses information that is already stored in the terminal equipment (e.g. IP addresses). What information this is in detail can be found in the following sections.

This storage and access is based on the following provisions:

● Insofar as this storage or access is absolutely necessary for us to provide the service of our website expressly requested by website visitors (e.g., to carry out a chatbot used by the website visitor or to ensure the IT security of our website), it is carried out on the basis of Section 25 para. 2 no. 2 of the German Telecommunications Telemedia Data Protection (Telekommunikation-Telemedien-Datenschutz-Gesetz, "TTDSG").

● Otherwise, this storage or access takes place on the basis of the website visitor's consent (Section 25 para. 1 TTDSG).

The subsequent data processing is carried out in accordance with the following sections and on the basis of the provisions of the GDPR.

 

2.2. Informative use of our website

During the informative use of the website, i.e. when site visitors do not separately transmit information to us, we collect the personal data that the browser transmits to our server in order to ensure the stability and security of our website. This is our legitimate interest, so that the legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 s. 1 lit. f GDPR.

These data are:

● IP address

● Date and time of the request

● Time zone difference to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT)

● Content of the request (specific page)

● Access status / HTTP status code

● Amount of data transferred in each case

● Website from which the request comes

● Browser

● Operating system and its interface

● Language and version of the browser software.

This data is also stored in log files. They are deleted when their storage is no longer necessary, at the latest after 14 days.

 

2.3. Web hosting and provision of the website

Our website is hosted by

● Godaddy. The provider is GoDaddy Netherlands B.V., 's-Gravelandseweg 696, 3119 RG Schiedam, Netherlands. In doing so, the provider processes the personal data transmitted via the website, e.g. content, usage, meta/communication data or contact data, in the EU. Further information can be found in the provider's privacy policy at https://www.godaddy.com/de-de/legal/agreements/privacy-poliy

● Webflow. The provider is Webflow, Inc., 398 11th St., Floor 2, San Francisco, CA 94103, USA. In doing so, the provider processes the personal data transmitted via the website, e.g. content, usage, meta/communication data or contact data in the USA. Further information can be found in the provider's privacy policy at https://webflow.com/legal/eu-privacy-policy.

● Vercel. The provider is Vercel Inc., 340 S Lemon Ave Unit 4133 Walnut, CA, USA. In doing so, the provider processes the personal data transmitted via the website, e.g. content, usage, meta/communication data or contact data in the USA. Further information can be found in the provider's privacy policy at https://vercel.com/legal/privacy-policy.

It is our legitimate interest to provide a website, so the legal basis of the described data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 s. 1 lit. f GDPR.

The legal basis of the transfer to a country outside the EEA are standard contractual clauses. The security of the data transferred to the third country (i.e. a country outside the EEA) is guaranteed by standard data protection clauses (Art. 46 para. 2 lit. c GDPR) adopted by the EU Commission in accordance with the examination procedure under Art. 93 para. 2 of the GDPR, which we have agreed to with the provider.

 

2.4. Contact form

When contacting us via the contact form on our website, we store the data requested there and the content of the message.

The legal basis for the processing is our legitimate interest in answering inquiries directed to us. The legal basis for the processing is therefore Art. 6 para. 1 s. 1 lit. f GDPR. We delete the data accruing in this context after the storage is no longer necessary or restrict the processing if there are legal retention obligations.

 

2.5. Vacant positions

We publish positions that are vacant in our company on our website, on pages linked to the website or on third-party websites.

The processing of the data provided as part of the application is carried out for the purpose of implementing the application process. Insofar as this is necessary for our decision to establish an employment relationship, the legal basis is Art. 88 para. GDPR in conjunction with Sec. 26 para. 1 of the German Data Protection Act (Bundesdatenschutzgesetz). We have marked the data required to carry out the application process accordingly or refer to them. If applicants do not provide this data, we cannot process the application. Further data is voluntary and not required for an application. If applicants provide further information, the basis is their consent (Art. 6 para. 1 s. 1 lit. a GDPR).

We ask applicants to refrain from providing information on political opinions, religious beliefs and similarly sensitive data in their CV and cover letter. They are not required for an application. If applicants nevertheless provide such information, we cannot prevent their processing as part of the processing of the resume or cover letter. Their processing is then also based on the consent of the applicants (Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a GDPR).

Finally, we process the applicants' data for further application procedures if they have given us their consent to do so. In this case, the legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 s. 1 lit. a GDPR.

We pass on the applicants' data to the responsible employees in the HR department, to our data processors in the area of recruiting and to the employees otherwise involved in the application process.

If we enter into an employment relationship with the applicant following the application process, we delete the data only after the employment relationship has ended. Otherwise, we delete the data no later than six months after rejecting an applicant.

If applicants have given us their consent to use their data for further application procedures as well, we will not delete their data until one year after receiving the application.

 

2.6. Booking of appointments

Site visitors can book appointments with us on our website. For this purpose, we process meta data or communication data in addition to the data entered. We have a legitimate interest in offering interested parties a user-friendly option for making appointments. Therefore, the legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 s. 1 lit. f GDPR. Insofar as we use a third-party tool for the agreement, the information on this can be found under "Third parties".

 

2.7. Single sign-on procedures

Site visitors can log in to our website using a single sign-on procedure. In doing so, they use the login data already created for another provider. The prerequisite is that the site visitor is already registered with the respective provider. When a site visitor logs in using a single sign-on procedure, we receive information from the provider that the site visitor is logged in with the provider and the provider receives information that the site visitor is using the single sign-on procedure on our website. Depending on the settings of the site visitor in his account on the provider's site, additional information may be provided to us by the provider. The legal basis of this agreement is the consent of the site visitor who logs in to our site with the account (Art. 6 para. 1 s. 1 lit. a GDPR).

 

The providers of thes procedures are

● Apple Inc, Infinite Loop, Cupertino, CA 95014, USA (privacy policy: https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/de-ww/).

3. Data processing on social media platforms

We are represented in social media networks in order to present our organization and our services there. The operators of these networks regularly process their users' data for advertising purposes. Among other things, they create user profiles from their online behavior, which are used, for example, to show advertising on the pages of the networks and elsewhere on the Internet that corresponds to the interests of the users. To this end, the operators of the networks store information on user behavior in cookies on the users' computers. Furthermore, it cannot be ruled out that the operators merge this information with other data. Users can obtain further information and instructions on how to object to processing by the site operators in the data protection declarations of the respective operators listed below. It is also possible that the operators or their servers are located in non-EU countries, so that they process data there. This may result in risks for users, e.g. because it is more difficult to enforce their rights or because government agencies access the data.

If users of the networks contact us via our profiles, we process the data provided to us in order to respond to the inquiries. This is our legitimate interest, so that the legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 s. 1 lit. f GDPR.

 

3.1. Facebook

We maintain a profile on Facebook. The operator is Facebook Ireland Ltd, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland. The privacy policy is available here: https://www.facebook.com/policy.php. A possibility to object to data processing arises via settings for advertisements: https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=ads.

We are joint controllers for processing the data of visitors to our profile on the basis of an agreement within the meaning of Art. 26 GDPR with Facebook.Facebook explains exactly what data is processed at https://www.facebook.com/legal/terms/information_about_page_insights_data. Data subjects can exercise their rights both against us and against Facebook. However, according to our agreement with Facebook, we are obliged to forward requests to Facebook. Data subjects will therefore receive a faster response if they contact Facebook directly.

 

3.2. Instagram

We maintain a profile on Instagram. The operator is Facebook Ireland Ltd, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland. The privacy policy is available here: https://help.instagram.com/519522125107875.
