Privacy Policy

Privacy Policy

We are very pleased about your interest in our company. Data protection is of particularly high importance to the management of the WAY Online Trainer Academy. The use of the WAY Online Trainer Academy’s website is generally possible without providing any personal data. However, if a data subject wishes to use special services offered by our company via our website, the processing of personal data may become necessary. Where the processing of personal data is required and there is no statutory basis for such processing, we generally obtain the data subject’s consent.

The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, email address or telephone number of a data subject, is always carried out in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and in compliance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to the WAY Online Trainer Academy. By means of this privacy policy, our company wishes to inform the public about the nature, scope and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process. Furthermore, this privacy policy informs data subjects of their rights.

As the controller responsible for processing, the WAY Online Trainer Academy has implemented numerous technical and organisational measures to ensure the most comprehensive protection possible of personal data processed via this website. Nevertheless, internet-based data transmissions may in principle be subject to security vulnerabilities, so that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transmit personal data to us via alternative means, for example by telephone.


1. Definitions

The privacy policy of the WAY Online Trainer Academy is based on the terminology used by the European legislator when adopting the GDPR. Our privacy policy is intended to be easy to read and understand for the public, as well as for our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we explain the terminology used below.

This privacy policy uses, among others, the following terms:

a) Personal data

Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (“data subject”). An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.

b) Data subject

A data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data are processed by the controller.

c) Processing

Processing means any operation or set of operations performed on personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organisation, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.

d) Restriction of processing

Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting their future processing.

e) Profiling

Profiling means any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyse or predict aspects concerning that natural person’s work performance, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, location or movements.

f) Pseudonymisation

Pseudonymisation is the processing of personal data in such a manner that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organisational measures to ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.

g) Controller

Controller means the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data. Where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union or Member State law, the controller or the specific criteria for its designation may be provided for by Union or Member State law.

h) Processor

Processor means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.

i) Recipient

Recipient means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or another body to which personal data are disclosed, whether a third party or not. Public authorities which may receive personal data in the framework of a particular inquiry in accordance with Union or Member State law shall not be regarded as recipients.

j) Third party

Third party means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or body other than the data subject, controller, processor and persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or processor, are authorised to process personal data.

k) Consent

Consent means any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject’s wishes by which they, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signify agreement to the processing of personal data relating to them.


2. Name and address of the controller

The controller within the meaning of the GDPR, other data protection laws applicable in the Member States of the European Union and other provisions of a data protection nature is:

A brand of MACAMA Medien- und Bildungs-GmbH

Managing Director: Ms Marion Neises
Göttelmannstraße 13a

3. Cookies

The WAY Online Trainer Academy website uses cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored on a computer system via an internet browser.

Many websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie, consisting of a character string through which websites and servers can be assigned to the specific internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This enables websites and servers to distinguish the individual browser of the data subject from other browsers that contain other cookies. A specific internet browser can be recognised and identified using the unique cookie ID.

Through the use of cookies, the WAY Online Trainer Academy can provide users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without cookies.

By means of a cookie, the information and offers on our website can be optimised in the interests of the user. Cookies allow us to recognise users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to use our website. For example, a user of a website that uses cookies does not have to re-enter their access data each time they visit the website, because this is handled by the website and the cookie stored on the user’s computer system. Another example is the shopping basket cookie in an online shop, which remembers the items a customer has placed in the virtual shopping basket.

The data subject may prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of a corresponding setting of the internet browser used and may therefore permanently object to the setting of cookies. Furthermore, cookies that have already been set may be deleted at any time via an internet browser or other software programmes. This is possible in all common internet browsers. If the data subject deactivates the setting of cookies in the internet browser used, not all functions of our website may be fully usable.

Please note that our WAY Extranet must set cookies in order to grant you access to your documents.

13. Data Protection Provisions regarding the Use of Facebook

The controller has integrated components of Facebook on this website. Facebook is a social network.

A social network is an online social meeting place operated on the internet, an online community that generally enables users to communicate with one another and to interact in virtual space. A social network may serve as a platform for exchanging opinions and experiences or enable the internet community to provide personal or business-related information. Facebook allows users of the social network, among other things, to create private profiles, upload photos and connect via friend requests.

The operating company of Facebook is Facebook, Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA. For the processing of personal data, the controller is, if the data subject resides outside the USA or Canada, Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.

Each time one of the individual pages of this website operated by the controller is accessed and on which a Facebook component (Facebook plug-in) has been integrated, the internet browser on the data subject’s information technology system is automatically prompted by the respective Facebook component to download a representation of the corresponding Facebook component from Facebook. An overview of all Facebook plug-ins can be found at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/. As part of this technical process, Facebook obtains knowledge of which specific subpage of our website is visited by the data subject.

If the data subject is logged into Facebook at the same time, Facebook recognises which specific subpage of our website the data subject visits with each access to our website and during the entire duration of the respective stay on our website. This information is collected by the Facebook component and assigned by Facebook to the respective Facebook account of the data subject. If the data subject activates one of the Facebook buttons integrated on our website, for example the “Like” button, or submits a comment, Facebook assigns this information to the personal Facebook user account of the data subject and stores this personal data.

Facebook always receives information via the Facebook component that the data subject has visited our website if the data subject is logged into Facebook at the time of accessing our website, regardless of whether the data subject clicks on the Facebook component or not. If the data subject does not wish such information to be transmitted to Facebook, they may prevent this by logging out of their Facebook account before accessing our website.

The data policy published by Facebook, available at https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/, provides information about the collection, processing and use of personal data by Facebook. It also explains which settings Facebook offers to protect the privacy of data subjects. In addition, various applications are available that allow the suppression of data transmission to Facebook. Such applications may be used by the data subject to prevent data transmission to Facebook.


14. Data Protection Provisions regarding the Use of Google Analytics (with anonymisation function)

The controller has integrated the Google Analytics component (with anonymisation function) on this website. Google Analytics is a web analytics service. Web analytics is the collection, gathering and evaluation of data on the behaviour of visitors to websites. A web analytics service collects data such as from which website a data subject accessed a website (so-called referrers), which subpages were accessed, or how often and for how long a subpage was viewed. Web analytics are mainly used to optimise a website and for cost–benefit analysis of internet advertising.

The operating company of Google Analytics is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.

The controller uses the addition “_gat._anonymizeIp” for web analytics via Google Analytics. By means of this addition, the IP address of the data subject’s internet connection is shortened and anonymised by Google if access to our website originates from a Member State of the European Union or from another contracting state to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.

The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyse visitor flows on our website. Google uses the data and information obtained, among other things, to evaluate the use of our website, to compile online reports for us showing the activities on our website, and to provide other services related to the use of our website.

Google Analytics places a cookie on the data subject’s information technology system. Cookies have already been explained above. By setting the cookie, Google is enabled to analyse the use of our website. Each time one of the individual pages of this website operated by the controller and on which a Google Analytics component is integrated is accessed, the internet browser on the data subject’s information technology system is automatically prompted by the respective Google Analytics component to transmit data to Google for the purpose of online analysis. As part of this technical process, Google obtains knowledge of personal data, such as the IP address of the data subject, which Google uses, among other things, to trace the origin of visitors and clicks and subsequently to enable commission settlements.

By means of the cookie, personal information such as the access time, the location from which access originated, and the frequency of visits to our website by the data subject is stored. Each time our website is visited, this personal data, including the IP address of the internet connection used by the data subject, is transmitted to Google in the United States of America and stored there. Google may pass on this personal data collected via the technical process to third parties.

The data subject may prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of a corresponding setting of the internet browser used and may therefore permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a browser setting would also prevent Google from placing a cookie on the data subject’s information technology system. In addition, cookies already set by Google Analytics may be deleted at any time via the internet browser or other software programmes.

Furthermore, the data subject has the option to object to the collection of data generated by Google Analytics relating to the use of this website and to the processing of this data by Google, and to prevent such processing. For this purpose, the data subject must download and install a browser add-on available at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. This browser add-on informs Google Analytics via JavaScript that no data or information on website visits may be transmitted to Google Analytics. The installation of the browser add-on is regarded by Google as an objection. If the data subject’s information technology system is deleted, formatted or reinstalled at a later point in time, the browser add-on must be reinstalled to deactivate Google Analytics. If the browser add-on is uninstalled or deactivated by the data subject or by another person attributable to their sphere of control, it may be reinstalled or reactivated.

Further information and Google’s applicable data protection provisions can be found at https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/ and http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/.


14.1 Google Maps

Google Maps API is a mapping service provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. On onlinetrainer-akademie.com we use the Google Maps API to display an interactive map and possibly to generate directions. When using Google Maps, information about your use of this website (including your IP address) may be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

Further information on data protection and terms of use for Google Maps can be found at:
https://www.google.com/help/terms_maps.html
https://policies.google.com/privacy


14.2 Google Web Fonts

This website uses so-called web fonts provided by Google for the uniform display of fonts. When accessing our website, your browser loads the required web fonts into its browser cache in order to display texts and fonts correctly. For this purpose, your browser must establish a connection to Google’s servers. Through this, Google becomes aware that our website has been accessed via your IP address.

The use of Google Web Fonts is in the interest of a uniform and visually appealing presentation of our website. If your browser does not support web fonts, a standard font from your computer will be used. Further information about Google Web Fonts can be found at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and in Google’s privacy policy.

20. Legal Basis for Processing

Article 6(1)(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 a party, such processing is based on Article 6(1)(b) GDPR. This also applies to processing operations necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures.

Where our company is subject to a legal obligation requiring the processing of personal data, such as for the fulfilment of tax obligations, processing is based on Article 6(1)(c) GDPR. In rare cases, processing may be necessary to protect vital interests of the data subject or another natural person, in which case processing is based on Article 6(1)(d) GDPR.

Finally, processing operations may be based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. This legal basis applies to processing necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or a third party, provided that the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not override those interests. Such processing operations are permitted because they were specifically mentioned by the European legislator, who considered that a legitimate interest may be assumed where the data subject is a customer of the controller (Recital 47 GDPR).


21. Legitimate Interests Pursued by the Controller or a Third Party

Where processing is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, our legitimate interest is the conduct of our business operations for the benefit of the well-being of all our employees and shareholders.


22. Duration of Storage of Personal Data

The criterion for determining the duration of storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After expiry of this period, the corresponding data are routinely deleted, provided they are no longer required for the performance or initiation of a contract.


23. Legal or Contractual Requirements to Provide Personal Data

We inform you that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or may arise from contractual provisions (e.g. information on the contractual partner). In some cases, it may be necessary for a contract to be concluded that a data subject provides personal data which must subsequently be processed by us. Failure to provide personal data would result in the contract not being concluded.

Before providing personal data, the data subject must contact our Data Protection Officer, who will clarify on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of personal data is required by law or contract, whether there is an obligation to provide such data, and what consequences the failure to provide personal data would have.


24. Existence of Automated Decision-Making

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