Please read our privacy policy carefully.

Personal data are any information that relates to an individual or can be used to establish a connection to an individual. This includes personal or material information about you.

 

a) Collection of personal data

Users can request free demos on our websites, register for webinars, contact us to subscribe to our e-mail newsletter, download content such as whitepapers and success stories, or register to use certain areas of the website. Starfish Digital collects and stores only the personal data that you explicitly share with us through our contact and registration forms, or when signing up for the newsletter. The data we collect varies by activity and may include personal information such as first and last name, e-mail address, telephone number, postcode, city, and other address information. In certain cases, we may also collect your job title and area of activity, as well as other information we may need to provide you with full access to our products and services.

 

b) Use of personal data

We use the personal data you provide exclusively to process your particular request. For example:

  • To respond to and fulfil your requests, such as sending you requested documents, information and marketing materials about our products and services, or the newsletter to which you subscribed.

  • To register you for our webinars, events or training sessions/workshops.

  • To personalise our websites with information and product-related content tailored to your needs.

  • To register you for our partner portal or restricted customer areas.
     

It is your decision whether to provide us with your data for the purposes mentioned above. To the extent that your request allows, you may also remain anonymous to us or use a pseudonym. Starfish Digital will always obtain your express consent to use your personal data for other purposes (in particular for marketing purposes).

 

Furthermore, various plugins are used on our websites, some of which collect personal data. For details, see section 6.

 

The newsletters offered on our websites contain news, offers, invitations to webinars, trade fair dates, and other information about the products and services offered by Starfish Digital.

If you request a newsletter and have given your consent to receive the newsletter when you registered, we will use your personal data as follows: When you register for a newsletter or event, your first name, surname, and e-mail address are collected and stored. When you register for an event, we also collect/save your postcode, city, company, and job title. We use this information for providing better services, and to establish new business relationships. 

 

To document that you submitted your declaration of consent, we also store your IP address and the dates on which you registered for and confirmed the newsletter.

If you no longer wish to receive the newsletter, you can unsubscribe at any time to stop receiving the newsletter. To do so, click the link contained in each newsletter to be guided through the unsubscribe process. Alternatively, you can send us your request to unsubscribe by e-mail (see section 12).
