This notice applies to you, the User of our Services and us the provider of the Services and governs the processing of your personal data in context of our Services and business.

You must read this policy carefully to ensure that you fully understand the reasons why Spandah processes your personal information.

The following provides you with an overview of the type of data collected and how it is used and passed on, the security measures Spandah takes to protect your data and how you can exercise your rights.

Of course, before relying on any of those legitimate interests we balance them against your interests and make sure they are compelling enough and will not cause any unwarranted harm.

You are not obliged to provide data
The processing of your data is necessary for the conclusion or fulfilment of the contract you have entered into with us. If you do not provide us with this data, we will usually have to refuse to enter the contract or will no longer be able to perform an existing contract and consequently have to terminate it, or may be unable to provide certain services or products.

The legal basis for the storage is our legitimate interest.

Further personal information is only collected if you provide it voluntarily, for example in the context of an enquiry or registration. Depending on the area concerned, Spandah uses the personal data provided by you to answer your enquiries, to process your order and for the purpose of technical administration of the websites. In detail, the use in the respective areas follows:

Integration Of Services And Contents Of Third Parties
Within our online offer, on the basis of our legitimate interests, we use content or services offered by third-party providers in order to integrate their content and services.

This always requires that the third-party providers of this content are aware of the IP address of the user, since without the IP address they could not send the content to their browser. The IP address is thus required for the display of this content. We endeavor to use only such content whose respective providers use the IP address only for the delivery of the content. Third-party providers may also use so-called pixel tags (invisible graphics, also known as "web beacons") for statistical or marketing purposes. The "pixel tags" can be used to evaluate information such as visitor traffic on the pages of this website. The pseudonymous information may also be stored in cookies on the user's device and may contain, among other things, technical information about the browser and operating system, referring websites, time of visit and other information about the use of our online offer, as well as be linked to such information from other sources.

Our online presence is provided on a so called Content Delivery Network and other support service providers. Our providers are Wix, Vimeo , Facebook and Google

We may use social plugins of the social networks Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn. When you call up a page that contains such a plugin, your browser establishes a direct connection to the relevant provider’s server. The plugin transmits log data to the provider. This log data may contain your IP address, the address of the visited websites that also contain specific functions, type and settings of the browser, date and time of the request, your usage of the provider as well as cookies.

Zoom video conferencing platform
We use Zoom and other video conferencing platforms and some audio platform (referred to collectively as Zoom) to conduct our live online presentations, including training, coaching, seminar, marketing, tutoring sessions and other relevant informational, explanatory discussions or meetings (‘Zoom sessions’). Insofar as you call up the Zoom website Zoom is responsible for data processing. However, when accessing the Zoom website it is only necessary to download the Zoom software. You may also use Zoom if you enter the respective meeting ID and, if applicable, further access data for the meeting directly in the Zoom app. If you do not want to, or cannot use the Zoom app, the basic functions can also be used via a browser version, which you can also find on the Zoom website.

You may have the opportunity to use the chat, question or survey functions in a Zoom session with us. In this respect, the text entries you make are processed in order to display them in the session and, if necessary, to record them.

We record most live Zoom sessions. When you attend the Zoom sessions, your image, location and/or words, including text, may be recorded. Often the Zoom sessions contain useful examples for training Spandah’s clients in our various techniques, models and processes. We use those recordings, or selected parts of those recordings, at our sole discretion as recorded modules to train people who attend our programs.

In order to enable the display of video and the playback of audio, the data from the microphone of your terminal device and from any video camera of the terminal device are processed accordingly during the meeting. You can switch off or mute the camera or microphone yourself at any time via the Zoom applications.

To participate in a Zoom session or to enter the meeting room, you must at least provide information about your name.

Online presence in social media
We maintain online presences within social media on the basis of our legitimate interests and in order to be able to communicate with the customers, interested parties and users active there and to inform them about our services there. When calling up the respective networks and platforms, the terms and conditions and data processing guidelines of their respective operators apply.

Unless otherwise stated in this policy, we process the data of users if they communicate with us within the social networks and platforms, e.g. write posts on our online presences or send us messages.

Automated Decision Making and profiling
Automated decision making is not used at Spandah.

Economic Analyses
In order to run our business economically, to identify market trends, customer and user wishes, we analyse the data available to us on business transactions, contracts, enquiries, etc. In doing so, we process inventory data, communication data, contract data, payment data, usage data, metadata, whereby the persons concerned include customers, interested parties, business partners, visitors and users of the online offer. The analyses are carried out for the purposes of business management evaluations, marketing and market research.

In doing so, we may take into account the profiles of registered users with details, for example, of their purchasing transactions. The analyses serve us to increase user-friendliness, to optimise our offer and business efficiency and are not disclosed externally, unless they are anonymous analyses with summarised values.

If these analyses or profiles are personal, they will be deleted or made anonymous upon termination by the user, otherwise after two years from conclusion of the contract. In all other respects, the macroeconomic analyses and general trend determinations are prepared anonymously wherever possible.

Direct marketing
From time to time we may use the personal information we collect from you to identify particular product offers which we believe may be of interest to you. We may contact you to let you know about these products and services and how they may benefit you.

You may give us your consent in a number of ways including by selecting a box on a form where we seek your permission to send you marketing information, or sometimes your consent is implied from your interactions or relationship with us. Where your consent is implied, it is on the basis that you would have a reasonable expectation of receiving a marketing communication based on your interactions or relationship with us.

Direct Marketing generally takes the form of e-mail but may also include other less traditional or emerging channels. These forms of contact will be managed by us, or by our contracted service providers. Every directly addressed marketing form sent or made by us or on our behalf should include a means by which customers may unsubscribe (or opt out) of receiving similar marketing in the future. You can ask us to remove or amend any previous consent you provided by contacting us.

Under certain conditions, Spandah may anonymise your personal information (meaning it can no longer be related to you) for research or statistical purposes, in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.

General technical organisational measures
Spandah has taken a variety of security measures to protect personal information to an appropriate extent and adequately. All information held by Spandah is protected by physical, technical and procedural measures that limit access to the information to specifically authorised persons in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

The Spandah website is behind a software firewall to reasonably prevent access from other networks connected to the Internet. Absolute prevention is not possible. In addition, only employees who need the information to perform a specific job are granted access to personally identifiable information. These employees are trained in security and privacy practices and treat your information confidentially.

Visiting the systemic law website
The data stored during the mere visit of the Spandah website will not be passed on to third parties.

Online shop
Your personal data will only be passed on to third parties within the scope of the online shop if it is necessary for the purpose of processing the contract, for accounting purposes or for the collection of the payment.

Data transfer
Spandah will not otherwise transfer personal information outside of Australia unless reasonably necessary for the purposes of providing services to you, enabling our services to function properly, or for the purpose of protecting our lawful interests. If this situation were to change in the future, we would only transfer your personal information external to Australia where Spandah is satisfied that proper levels of protection are provided to protect the integrity and safety of your personal information or appropriate security measures are followed and in compliance with applicable privacy and data protection laws.

Non-Australian residents: If you are accessing this website from a jurisdiction outside Australia, please note that your data may be transferred outside of your jurisdiction in accordance with the data transfer procedures prescribed for Australian residents.
