Scope of Data Processing

We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and on the basis of this privacy policy. We process your data only as necessary for the purpose of providing a functional and user-friendly internet presence or website and for the provision of our content and services. Failure to provide the data may have legal disadvantages, such as the impracticability of a contract. As part of our data processing, we use various third-party providers in the areas of hosting, online marketing, mailing services and customer relationship management (CRM), each of which processes data on our behalf. We have concluded corresponding data processing agreements with these third-party providers, insofar as the third parties are processors, which ensure that an adequate level of data protection is guaranteed (Art. 28 GDPR).

The data is processed by us or by third parties in the context of using this website. We use various third-party providers in the areas of hosting, mailing services, software and customer/data management (CRM) each of which processes data on our behalf. We have concluded corresponding order processing agree-ments with these third-party providers, which ensure that an adequate level of data protection is also guaranteed with respect to our (sub-)processors (Art. 28 GDPR). Our parent company, Sargent-Disc Lim-ited, 5-7 Baring Rd, Beaconsfield HP9 2NB, United Kingdom, is handling our customer and user data and thus has necessary access to personal data we control. Our grandparent company, Cast & Crew LLC, 2300 Empire Avenue, 5th Floor, Burbank, CA 91504, is responsible for our US customers and additional support services for all users, as well as providing different software solutions (Office365, Okta) to us. For more information on the third-party providers used, please feel free to contact us at any time (e.g. by email to info@digitalpurchaseorder.com).

We only process your data if this is necessary for the stated purposes. Failure to provide the data may have legal disadvantages, such as the loss of legal positions, for example, no response to your enquiry or the impracticability of a contract.

As a matter of principle, we will only transfer or disclose your data to third parties if we have obtained your consent or if there is another legal basis for doing so. We generally process personal data within the EU/EEA. In case your data is processed outside the EU/EEA, e.g. by our (sub-)processors, compliance with European data protection standards is ensured in each case. If your data is transferred to third countries, such as the USA, we ensure that the legal requirements according to Art. 44 ff. GDPR for such transfer are met and that your data is processed in the third country in accordance with the European data protection standard. For this purpose, we generally use the so-called EU standard contractual clauses that we con-clude with the respective provider. Further, in accordance with the requirements of the ECJ "Schrems II" decision, a case-by-case risk analysis is carried out with regard to the respective third country and the respective transfer. For further information, you can also contact us by email at info@digitalpurchaseor-der.com.

Furthermore, we have taken technical and organizational measures to ensure that the regulations on data protection are observed both by us and by external service providers. For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content that you send to us as the site operator, our website uses SSL or TLS encryption.

Newsletter

You have the possibility to subscribe to our newsletter. With our newsletter we inform you about us and our offers. Only your email address is required to register for the newsletter. If you register for the newsletter, your email address will be transmitted to us (or our mail provider) and stored there. After registering, you will receive an email to confirm your registration ("double opt-in"). In this context, we (or our mail provider) process the following data:

For this purpose, we forward your email address and the information whether you have signed up for the newsletter and/or for further product information to Mailchimp.

With the help of Mailchimp, we can analyze our newsletter campaigns. When you open an email sent with Mailchimp, a file contained in the email (known as a web beacon) connects to the Mailchimp servers in the USA. This allows us to determine whether a newsletter message was opened and which links were clicked. In addition, technical information is recorded (e.g. time of registration, IP address, browser type and operating system). This information is used for the statistical evaluation of newsletter campaigns. The results of these analyses can be used to better adapt future newsletters to the interests of the recipients. Our newsletter is sent on the basis of your prior express consent, Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. a GDPR. If we commission a service provider to send emails, this is done on the basis of our legitimate interests in efficient and secure delivery. The legal basis in this respect is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f GDPR.

You can revoke your consent to the processing of data for the purpose of sending the newsletter or the evaluation of the associated data at any time. The revocation can be made via a link contained in each newsletter or by sending a separate message to us.

User data is usually processed within social networks for market research and advertising purposes. For example, usage profiles can be created based on the usage behaviour and resulting interests of the users. The usage profiles can in turn be used, for example, to place advertisements within and outside the networks that presumably correspond to the interests of the users. For these purposes, cookies are usually stored on the users' computers, in which the usage behaviour and the interests of the users are stored. Furthermore, data independent of the devices used by the users may also be stored in the usage profiles (especially if the users are members of the respective platforms and are logged in to them). For a detailed presentation of the respective forms of processing and the options to object (opt-out), we refer to the data protection declarations and information provided by the operators of the respective networks.

In the case of requests for information and the assertion of data subject rights, we would also like to point out that these can be asserted most effectively with the providers. Only the providers have access to the users' data and can take appropriate measures and provide information directly. If you still need help, you can contact us.

This means that we only store your personal data for as long as it is required for the respective processing purpose and limit the storage period to the minimum necessary.
