Privacy Policy

Document number: F-10063-09064-DOC

This Privacy Policy applies to the following domains: fleet-connect.hoppe-sts.com

We are very delighted that you have shown interest in our enterprise. Data protection is of a particularly high priority for the management of the Hoppe Marine GmbH. The use of the Internet pages of the Hoppe Marine GmbH is possible without any indication of personal data; however, if a data subject wants to use special enterprise services via our website, processing of personal data could become necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no statutory basis for such processing, we generally obtain consent from the data subject.

The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, e-mail address, or telephone number of a data subject shall always be in line with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to the Hoppe Marine GmbH. By means of this data protection declaration, our enterprise would like to inform the general public of the nature, scope, and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process. Furthermore, data subjects are informed, by means of this data protection declaration, of the rights to which they are entitled.

As the controller, the Hoppe Marine GmbH has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection of personal data processed through this website. However, Internet-based data transmissions may in principle have security gaps, so absolute protection may not be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transfer personal data to us via alternative means, e.g. by telephone.

4. COOKIES

The Hoppe Marine GmbH Fleet Connect Portal may use cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored in a computer system via an Internet browser.

Many Internet sites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier for the cookie. It consists of a character string through which Internet pages and servers can be assigned to the specific Internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This allows visited Internet sites and servers to differentiate the individual browser of the data subject from other Internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific Internet browser can be recognized and identified using the unique cookie ID.

Through the use of cookies, the Hoppe Marine GmbH can provide the users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the cookie setting.

By means of a cookie, the information and offers on our website can be optimized with the user in mind. Cookies allow us, as previously mentioned, to recognize our website users. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to utilize our website. The website user that uses cookies, e.g. does not have to enter access data each time the website is accessed, because this is taken over by the website, and the cookie is thus stored on the user's computer system. Another example is the cookie of a shopping cart in an online shop. The online store remembers the articles that a customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart via a cookie.

The data subject may, at any time, prevent the setting of cookies through our website by means of a corresponding setting of the Internet browser used, and may thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. Furthermore, already set cookies may be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all popular Internet browsers. If the data subject deactivates the setting of cookies in the Internet browser used, not all functions of our website may be entirely usable.

Cookies are small text files that can be used by websites to make a user's experience more efficient.

The law states that we can store cookies on your device if they are strictly necessary for the operation of this site. For all other types of cookies, we need your permission.

This site may use different types of cookies. Some cookies may be placed by third party services that appear on our pages.

This website uses essential cookies in relation to user authentication for logged in users, for storing application's user interface preferences, or managing user consent to privacy preferences.

Your consent applies to the following domains: fleet-connect.hoppe-sts.com

5. COLLECTION OF GENERAL DATA AND INFORMATION

The Fleet Connect website of the Hoppe Marine GmbH collects a series of general data and information when the website is called up by a data subject or an automated system call (e.g. using our Application Programming Interfaces / APIs). This general data and information are stored in the server log files. Collected may be (1) the browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrers), (4) the sub-websites, (5) the date and time of access to the Internet site, (6) an Internet protocol address (IP address), (7) the Internet service provider of the accessing system, and (8) any other similar data and information that may be used in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.

When using these general data and information, Hoppe Marine GmbH does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is needed to (1) deliver the content of our website correctly, (2) optimize the content of our website as well as its advertisement, (3) ensure the long-term viability of our information technology systems and website technology, and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for criminal prosecution in case of a cyber-attack. Therefore, the Hoppe Marine GmbH analyzes anonymously collected data and information statistically, with the aim of increasing the data protection and data security of our enterprise, and to ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.

6. COLLECTION OF PERSONAL DATA AND INFORMATION

Users need to provide their registered e-mail address as a username when logging into the Fleet Connect application. Hoppe Marine GmbH records all user log-in attempts in the website server logs.

The same is true for any interaction with the website using Application Programming Interface / APIs (see the Onshore API Developer Portal for reference, https://docs.hoppe-sts.com/docs/ ). Such interaction is possible for example to request customers data in an automated process. To authenticate requests sent to the Application Programming Interface, a so-called API Key is required. API keys are always associated with respective registered user accounts in the server logs.

This is a standard procedure of legitimate interest for providing user access and to ensure the security of the services offered.

The personally identifiable data is only used for the previously stated purposes and for fulfilling contractual obligations.

The server logs are only temporarily accessible to Hoppe Marine and will only be reviewed in case of a suspected cyber-incident.

7. HANDLING OF CUSTOMER DATA

With respect to the application data made available on the Fleet Connect website, contractual terms apply. This includes possible contact information of relevant parties (Name, Email, Role) which has been provided by the customer in relation to the service contract. Upon contract expiration or termination, the contact information is stored for a grace period of a maximum of 6 months.

8. HANDLING OF VESSEL DATA

For the storing and processing of vessel data made available in the Fleet Connect portal, please refer to the Special Terms governing the Fleet Connect Services of Hoppe Marine GmbH.

9. AUTOMATIC E-MAIL NOTIFICATIONS

We provide automatic e-mail notification services in the Fleet Connect portal. There are two types of notifications:

  1. Service Notifications

Service Notifications are managed by Hoppe administrators on behalf of the customer. We send Service Notifications to email addresses registered in the user's contract information in Fleet Connect.

Registration and deregistration of contact email addresses can only be done by Hoppe administrators; contractual terms apply (see section 7. HANDLING OF CUSTOMER DATA).

The activation and deactivation of Service Notifications per email for each contact address can only be configured by Hoppe administrators.

In case of unsolicited Service Notification emails, please contact Hoppe Fleet Connect administrators directly, by responding to the Service Notification email, or directly to datasolutions@hoppe-marine.com.

Contents of automatic email notifications sent by the Fleet Connect portal are kept for 90 days on our servers.

  1. Alert Notifications

Alert Notifications are offered for Alerts in the Fleet Connect portal and can be managed by the user, activated and deactivated.

Activated Alert Notifications are sent to email addresses in the contacts list provided by the customer which have been configured to receive Service Notifications (see section 9. AUTOMATIC E-MAIL NOTIFICATIONS: 1. Service Notifications).

Additionally, in the Fleet Connect portal, the user may configure CC recipients (i.e. Carbon Copy email) for each individual Alert Notification.

Email addresses configured for CC Alert Notifications are stored on Hoppe servers only for the purpose of email transportation while in use.

An initial Alert Notification email with a disclaimer is automatically sent as soon as an email address has been configured as a CC recipient of Alert Notifications.

We can take no responsibility for unsolicited CC email registration for automated Alert Notification emails as configured by users of Fleet Connect. However, recipients of email notifications can request that they no longer receive such email notifications by responding to the email, by directly contacting datasolutions@hoppe-marine.com, or by contacting the Fleet Connect user responsible for the Alert Notification CC recipient configuration.

Once an email address has been removed from a list of CC recipients for Alert Notifications, we do not retain any record of the contact data beyond 90 days following the last automated Alert Notification email.

10. CONTACT POSSIBILITY VIA THE WEBSITE

The website of the Hoppe Marine GmbH contains information that enables a quick electronic contact to our enterprise, as well as direct communication with us, which also includes a general address of the so-called electronic mail (e-mail address). If a data subject contacts the controller by e-mail or via a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject is automatically stored. Such personal data transmitted on a voluntary basis by a data subject to the data controller are stored for the purpose of processing or contacting the data subject. There is no transfer of this personal data to third parties.

11. ROUTINE ERASURE AND BLOCKING OF PERSONAL DATA

The data controller shall process and store the personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage, or as far as this is granted by the European legislator or other legislators in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject to.

If the storage purpose is not applicable, or if a storage period prescribed by the European legislator or another competent legislator expires, the personal data are routinely blocked or erased in accordance with legal requirements.

12. RIGHTS OF THE DATA SUBJECT

13. DATA PROTECTION FOR APPLICATIONS AND THE APPLICATION PROCEDURES

The data controller shall collect and process the personal data of applicants for the purpose of the processing of the application procedure. The processing may also be carried out electronically. This is the case, in particular, if an applicant submits corresponding application documents by e-mail or by means of a web form on the website to the controller. If the data controller concludes an employment contract with an applicant, the submitted data will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in compliance with legal requirements. If no employment contract is concluded with the applicant by the controller, the application documents shall be automatically erased two months after notification of the refusal decision, provided that no other legitimate interests of the controller are opposed to the erasure. Other legitimate interest in this relation is, e.g. a burden of proof in a procedure under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).

Art. 6(1) lit. a GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party, as is the case, for example, when processing operations are necessary for the supply of goods or to provide any other service, the processing is based on Article 6(1) lit. b GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations which are necessary for carrying out pre-contractual measures, for example in the case of inquiries concerning our products or services. Is our company subject to a legal obligation by which processing of personal data is required, such as for the fulfillment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6(1) lit. c GDPR.
In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were injured in our company and his name, age, health insurance data or other vital information would have to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. Then the processing would be based on Art. 6(1) lit. d GDPR.
Finally, processing operations could be based on Article 6(1) lit. f GDPR. This legal basis is used for processing operations which are not covered by any of the abovementioned legal grounds, if processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data. Such processing operations are particularly permissible because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. He considered that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a client of the controller (Recital 47 Sentence 2 GDPR).

15. THE LEGITIMATE INTERESTS PURSUED BY THE CONTROLLER OR BY A THIRD PARTY

Where the processing of personal data is based on Article 6(1) lit. f GDPR our legitimate interest is to carry out our business in favor of the well-being of all our employees and the shareholders.

16. PERIOD FOR WHICH THE PERSONAL DATA WILL BE STORED

The criteria used to determine the period of storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After expiration of that period, the corresponding data is routinely deleted, as long as it is no longer necessary for the fulfillment of the contract or the initiation of a contract.

17. PROVISION OF PERSONAL DATA AS STATUTORY OR CONTRACTUAL REQUIREMENT; REQUIREMENT NECESSARY TO ENTER INTO A CONTRACT; OBLIGATION OF THE DATA SUBJECT TO PROVIDE THE PERSONAL DATA; POSSIBLE CONSEQUENCES OF FAILURE TO PROVIDE SUCH DATA

We clarify that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or can also result from contractual provisions (e.g. information on the contractual partner).

Sometimes it may be necessary to conclude a contract that the data subject provides us with personal data, which must subsequently be processed by us. The data subject is, for example, obliged to provide us with personal data when our company signs a contract with him or her. The non-provision of the personal data would have the consequence that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded.

Before personal data is provided by the data subject, the data subject must contact any employee. The employee clarifies to the data subject whether the provision of the personal data is required by law or contract or is necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data and the consequences of non-provision of the personal data.

18. EXISTENCE OF AUTOMATED DECISION-MAKING

As a responsible company, we do not use automatic decision-making or profiling.
