    2. Use of your data

    We would hereby like to explain how your personal data will be processed when you visit the website www.cloud-protection-plus.com, and to inform you of your rights under data protection law.

    2.1. Who will be responsible for processing your data, and how can you reach the Data Protection Officer?

    The website is operated by
    Münchener Rückversicherungs-Gesellschaft Aktiengesellschaft in Munich
    Königinstrasse 107
    80802 München, Germany
    Telefon:+49(89)3891-0
    Telefax:+49(89)399056
    E-Mail: contact@munichre.com

    You may contact our Data Protection Officer at “Data Protection Officer” at the aforementioned address, or via the e-mail address datenschutz@munichre.com.

    2.2 What categories of data will we use, and for what purposes do we process personal data?

    You are generally free to visit our website anonymously. Only if you have agreed to the evaluation of your usage behavior for statistical purposes, (date, time, pages viewed, navigation, software used) data will be collected by us via an external service provider when you visit our Website. Then your complete IP address will be transmitted to the service provider, where it will be shortened and thus made anonymous before being saved, so that even then it is no longer possible to draw conclusions about you.

    If you disclose your personal data to us in specific circumstances (for example, by filling out a contact form), we handle such data confidentially, in accordance with the data protection regulations in effect at our Company’s registered office. If you send us an e-mail, or if you complete and submit an on-line form on our website, we will use any personal data you provide (such as your name or e-mail address) only to correspond with you, to send you the information you requested, or for the other purpose(s) stipulated on the particular form.

    For every application or process with which we collect your personal data (e.g. via cookies for statistical evaluations), we will provide an individualised privacy statement to inform you about the processing of your data.

    2.3 What is the legal basis for our processing of your personal data?

    We process your data on the basis of the provisions of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG), the Telemedia Act (TMG) and all other laws applicable to the processing of personal data. The substantive legal grounds for the processing depend on the context and the purpose for which we collect your data.

    As a rule, we collect and process your personal data to communicate with you and send you the information that you request. This may be necessary, in the context of a user/contractual relationship, to fulfill a contract or during the pre-contractual process (for example, job application process), or at your request. Where an application or process requires restricted-access (for example the job applicant portal), the user or data subject’s consent may constitute the legal grounds. You may revoke such consent at any time. Any processing done before the revocation would remain valid, however.

    2.4 Who receives your data?

    Within Munich Re, only those staff and departments who are responsible for the respective process will receive your data. The data may also be disclosed to service providers for the purposes set out above. Using service providers is necessary, for example, for the administration and maintenance of our IT systems. We also use external service providers for support when managing job applicants, for example. If we process any of your personal data for certain purposes, you will receive a notice about how exactly your data is being used.

    Service providers that we use to send you the requested information (such as brochures by mail, issuing newsletters) will receive your required personal data (e.g. postal services receive your name and address).

    A list of all service providers that we use for data processing can be found under Section 6, and also is available for downloading.

    2.5. Will we send your data to third countries?

    If personal data needs to be transferred to service providers or Group companies outside the European Economic Area (EEA), this will be done only if the European Commission has confirmed that the respective country’s level of data protection is sufficient, or if you have agreed to it separately, or if data protection is otherwise sufficiently guaranteed (for example through standard EU contractual clauses). You may also request the information from the aforementioned contact person.

    2.6 What measures do we have in place to protect your data?

    We have state-of-the-art technical and organisational security measures to protect data against accidental or intentional manipulation, loss, destruction, and access by unauthorised parties. We use Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption to protect any information you enter in dialogue forms on our web pages. SSL encryption protects your data against unauthorised third-party access during transfer.

    You can recognize an encrypted connection by the change in your browser address line from “http://” to “https://”, and the padlock symbol appearing in your browser window.

    2.7 What data protection rights can you claim as a data subject?

    At the address indicated above, you may request information about the personal data Munich Re has stored under your name. In addition, under certain conditions you may request that your data be deleted or corrected. Furthermore, you may also have a right to restrict the processing of your data and a right to disclosure of the data you have made available in a structured, common and machine-readable format. If you have given your consent, you have the right to revoke it at any time with effect for the future; if you were not informed of any other way in the consent, you can also send the revocation to the above mentioned address.

    If we process your data for the purposes of safeguarding legitimate interests, you may object to this processing on grounds relating to your particular situation. We will no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights and freedoms, or if the processing serves the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims.

    2.8 Who can you contact if you have a complaint?

    If you have a complaint, you may contact the aforementioned Data Protection Officer, or the state data protection authority. The authority responsible for us is:

    Data Protection Authority of Bavaria for the Private Sector (Bayerisches Landesamt für Datenschutzaufsicht)
    Promenade 27
    91522 Ansbach, Germany:
    https://www.lda.bayern.de/en/contact.html
    poststelle@lda.bayern.de

    2.9 How long will your data be stored?

    Munich Re will delete your personal data as soon as it is no longer required for the purposes set out above, and no legal documentation or retention requirements apply, for example in the German Commercial Code (HGB), fiscal laws or the General Tax Code (AO). Further details can be found, where applicable, under the respective types of data processing.

    3. Cookies and log files

    3.1 Use of cookies

    During an online session, cookies are stored on your computer. These are small files that control the display and operation of our website. Cookies will not damage your computer and do not contain viruses.

    When you visit the website www.cloud-protection-plus.com, and wish to make use of the functions we offer, we use one group of cookies that are required for technical reasons. These cookies are so-called "session cookies". They are automatically deleted at the end of your visit.

    Furthermore we use a consent management platform (i.e. an approval management service), with which we document and implement your decisions regarding the data processing on our website. The Consent Management Platform used at website www.cloud-protection-plus.com was developed and is managed by Usercentrics GmbH, Sendlinger Straße 7, 80331 Munich, Germany. In order to do that, small files (analog cookies) are stored locally in the cache of your browser. This happens regardless of whether you agree or reject certain cookies. They continue to exist and can be read out even after the browser window has been closed or the program has been closed - provided that you don't delete the cache.

    If you agreed to this, we also employ other cookies to carry out statistical evaluations of the range of the website www.cloud-protection-plus.com.

(Switzerland, Canada, United Kingdom, India or USA). While Switzerland and Canada have a level of data protection appropriate to that of the EU, the level of data protection in the United Kingdom, India and USA, does not correspond to the EU data protection level. In these countries, there is a risk that your data may be processed by authorities, possibly without the possibility of legal recourse.
