Terms of data privacy

Data Protection for Clickworker

1. INFOsteps GmbH servers are maintained, secured and back-upped by a professional IT service provider. Nevertheless, the risk of unauthorized access by third parties cannot be completely avoided. INFOsteps GmbH will not be liable for losses or claims due to unauthorized access by third parties unless such access was enabled through grossly negligent or intentional conduct of INFOsteps GmbH. In general, liability is limited as detailed in the usage terms for clickworkers.
2. Regarding the storage of data, two different kinds of data are being stored: personal master data and usage-based data. The personal master data is being used by INFOsteps GmbH to transfer funds, to prevent abuse, and to contact users. The usage-based data is derived from the work of users within the INFOsteps platform. This includes voluntary data contributions (e.g. education, interests, capabilities, gender) of users, which INFOsteps would utilize for proposing trainings, tests and job offerings.
3. The user explicitely consents to have his/her data, as described before, stored by INFOsteps GmbH. Both data sets are stored separately and are only linked for billing purposes. At any time, the user has the right to obtain information about the stored data pertaining to him and to request that it will be deleted in the future unless otherwise provided by law. Personal data will not be disclosed to third parties unless required by law.
4. In addition, statistics may be prepared and used by INFOsteps GmbH both internally and externally. Whenever statistics are used externally, they will be cited only in an aggregated form in order to prevent the identification of individuals.
