4.1 Cookies

This website uses cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored in 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. 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, PLANET AI can provide the users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the cookie setting.

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e. g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website. These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website

Essential services are necessary for the website to function properly. This category only includes cookies that ensure basic functionalities and security features of the website. These cookies do not store any personal information.

This includes the following cookies and scripts:

  • Real Cookie Banner
    • Real Cookie Banner asks website visitors for consent to set cookies and process personal data. For this purpose, a UUID (pseudonymous identification of the user) is assigned to each website visitor, which is valid until the cookie expires to store the consent. Cookies are used to test whether cookies can be set, to store a reference to documented consent, to store which services from which service groups the visitor has consented to, and, if consent is obtained under the Transparency & Consent Framework (TCF), to store consent in TCF partners, purposes, special purposes, features and special features. As part of the obligation to disclose according to GDPR, the collected consent is fully documented. This includes, in addition to the services and service groups to which the visitor has consented, and if consent is obtained according to the TCF standard, to which TCF partners, purposes and features the visitor has consented, all cookie banner settings at the time of consent as well as the technical circumstances (e.g. size of the displayed area at the time of consent) and the user interactions (e.g. clicking on buttons) that led to consent. Consent is collected once per language.

4.2 Server log files

The website of PLANET AI collects a series of general data and information when a data subject or automated system calls up the website. 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, and
  • (6) 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, PLANET AI 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, PLANET AI 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.

4.3 Contact form

If a data subject contacts the controller via the contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject will be stored automatically. A transfer of this personal data to third parties does not take place. Users may opt-in to receive additional information, e. g. a newsletter by PLANET AI.

The processing of the data entered in the contact form is thus based exclusively on the consent of the data subject (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). The data subject may revoke this consent at any time by means of an informal e-mail.

The transmitted personal data will be stored for the purpose of processing or contacting the data subject. They remain with us until a request for deletion or a revocation of consent is made by the data subject or the purpose for storage no longer applies.

4.4 Forms for downloading content

PLANET AI offers content in the form of PDFs for download via request forms. If a data subject contacts the data controller via a form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject is automatically stored. This personal data is not passed on to third parties. Users may opt-in to receive additional information, e. g. a newsletter by PLANET AI.

The processing of the data entered in the contact form is thus based exclusively on the consent of the data subject (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). The data subject may revoke this consent at any time by means of an informal e-mail.

The transmitted personal data will be stored for the purpose of processing or contacting the data subject. They remain with us until a request for deletion or a revocation of consent is made by the data subject or the purpose for storage no longer applies.

4.5 Free trial software

PLANET AI offers a free trial embedded into our website.

If a data subject registers for free trial via the registration form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject will be stored automatically. A transfer of this personal data to third parties does not take place. Data subjects may opt-in to receive additional information, such as a newsletter by PLANET AI.

The processing of the data entered in the registration form is thus based exclusively on the consent of the data subject (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). The data subject may revoke this consent at any time by means of an informal e-mail.

The transmitted personal data will be stored for the purpose of processing or contacting the data subject. They remain with us until a request for deletion or a revocation of consent is made by the data subject or the purpose for storage no longer applies.

Our free trial offers the possibility to upload documents. Uploaded documents, included any personal data contained therein, will not be stored by PLANET AI. PLANET AI temporarily logs some metadata about your processing requests (such as the time the request was received and the size of the request) to improve our service and combat abuse.

For support and trouble-shooting purposes, data subjects may contact us via contact form and attach documents. The documents will be stored for the purpose of processing the request. Data subjects warrant and represent that they are entitled to send us the respective documents and have all necessary licenses and consents to do so. PLANET AI does not claim any ownership in any of the documents that data subjects transmit to us.

4.6 SSL/TLS encryption

This site uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or requests that you send to us as the site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser line.
If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

5. Profiles in Social Networks (Social Media)

We maintain online presences within social networks and process user data in this context in order to communicate with the users active there or to offer information about us.

We would like to point out that user data may be processed outside the European Union. This may entail risks for users, e.g. by making it more difficult to enforce users’ rights.

In addition, user data is usually processed within social networks for market research and advertising purposes. For example, user profiles can be created on the basis of user behaviour and the associated interests of users. The user profiles can then be used, for example, to place advertisements within and outside the networks which are presumed to correspond to the interests of the users. For these purposes, cookies are usually stored on the user’s computer, in which the user’s usage behaviour and interests are stored. Furthermore, data can be stored in the user profiles independently of the devices used by the users (especially if the users are members of the respective networks or will become members later on).

For a detailed description of the respective processing operations and the opt-out options, please refer to the respective data protection declarations and information provided by the providers of the respective networks.

Also in the case of requests for information and the exercise of rights of data subjects, we point out that these can be most effectively pursued with the providers. Only the providers have access to the data of the users and can directly take appropriate measures and provide information. If you still need help, please do not hesitate to contact us.

  • Processed data types: Contact data (e.g. e-mail, telephone numbers); Content data (e.g. text input, photographs, videos); Usage data (e.g. websites visited, interest in content, access times); Meta, communication and process data (e.g. IP addresses, time information, identification numbers, consent status).
