1 Information for Visitors of our Website, Newsletters and Social Media
1.1 Provision of the Website and Log Files
The following personal data will be stored in a log file automatically when you access these webpages: date and time of access, IP address, link opened, information about web browser and operating system, volume of data transferred, error code and user name (in the case of customized access).
This data will also be generated when any other website is visited and is therefore not a special function of our website. Data is stored for security purposes and to improve our offering. This data is evaluated purely for statistical purposes in an anonymized form.
Processing of this personal data is technically necessary for us to display our website to you and ensure stability and security. The legal basis for processing your personal data is Article 6 (1) f GDPR.
This data is deleted after fourteen (14) days.
1.2 Technical measures to protect your data
Your personal data is stored by MOBOTIX on a server in the Federal Republic of Germany with state-of-the-art protection and is secured against unauthorized access. MOBOTIX employees are obligated to maintain confidentiality with regard to personal data.
MOBOTIX also provide registration forms on this website that can be used to register for training, events and the like. The input required for this purpose, such as address data, name and contact information of the person registering, is transferred internally by MOBOTIX to the persons responsible for processing and used solely for the intended purpose of processing the registration. The e-mail address and telephone number provided in this context are needed so you can be contacted in case of follow-up questions regarding your registration, and so that we can send you a reservation confirmation and further information about the events.
We have implemented a double opt-in procedure to prevent third parties from registering you for a newsletter via our homepage without your consent. We send an e-mail containing a link to the e-mail address you have specified. By clicking this link, you confirm that you agree to order the specified newsletter. Only then is your subscription active.
Wherever personal data is entered, the corresponding fields must be clicked to confirm that you have been notified of your statutory right to withdrawal according to the legal requirements of the GDPR and BDSG.
Without this confirmation, the input of personal data and therefore the desired registration to a newsletter, event or the like cannot be completed.
MOBOTIX will not pass on your personal data to a third party at any time without your express consent, unless
(a) passing on this information is necessary in order to implement offers or provide the services you wish to use,
(b) a subcontractor which we employ within the framework of providing offers or services requires this data (subcontractors are only entitled to use data insofar as this is necessary for the provision of offers or services. MOBOTIX obligates its partners under contract to comply with data protection regulations),
(c) an enforceable official or court order exists.
1.3 Use of Cookies and Web Analysis Service

The information about your use of the website generated by the cookie is generally transferred to a Google server in the U.S., where it is stored. If IP anonymization is activated on this website, your IP address within member states of the European Union or other states in the European Economic Area is first shortened by Google. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the U.S. and shortened there. By order of the website operator, Google uses this information to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports about website activities and offer additional services to the website operator related to the use of the website and the Internet.

The LinkedIn Insight tag allows to collect data about visits to the website from LinkedIn, including URL, referrer URL, IP address, device and browser properties, timestamps, and page views. This data is encrypted by LinkedIn, anonymized within seven days and the anonymized data is deleted within 90 days. LinkedIn does not share personally identifiable information with the owner of the website, but only provides aggregated reports about the website's audience and display performance.

MOBOTIX uses your personal data for the purposes provided for by the AktG – in particular, maintaining the share ledger (as set out in more detail below), carrying out general meetings, as well as for giving notice when share ownership exceeds or falls below certain thresholds. The legal basis for processing your personal data is the German Stock Corporation Act in conjunction with Article 6 (1) c GDPR.
If you take part in the General Meeting, we are obliged, pursuant to Section 129 (1) sentence 2 AktG, to include you in the list of participants, stating your name, domicile, the number of shares held, and the type of ownership. Other shareholders and other participants of the General Meeting will be able to inspect these details during the meeting; shareholders will continue to have access for up to two (2) years afterwards pursuant to Section 129 (4) AktG.
Where a shareholder demands that items be placed on the agenda, the Company will publish these items, provided that the requirements under German company law are met, stating the shareholder's name.

Should we intend to process your personal data for any other purpose, we will inform you in advance, in accordance with applicable law.
We will generally delete or anonymize your personal data as soon as this is no longer required for the purposes set out above, unless we are obliged to maintain the data under a legal obligation to provide evidence, or mandatory retention period. Such obligations to provide evidence or retain data arise under the HGB, AO, or the German Money Laundering Act (Geldwäschegesetz – "GwG").
Data recorded in connection with General Meetings must generally be retained for three (3) years. Data stored in the share ledger is generally retained for a period of ten (10) years following disposal of the shares.

5 Data processed by MOBOTIX products
MOBOTIX is a producer of cameras which typically capture and help recording video data and thermal radiometry data. When one of our cameras is used in practice, MOBOTIX is not the data controller for the data recorded by the camera, but rather MOBOTIX’s customers are operating the devices on their own responsibility and as separate data controllers. When you enter any premises or an establishment where a MOBOTIX product is installed, a camera or a dual vision (thermal + visible) camera can detect pictures and surface temperature and additional analytics to indicate whether a data subject’s surface temperature is above a minimum. This information may be used by the respective operator of the camera to determine various standard operating procedures like whether someone may safely enter the premises. For further details please see the signage placed by the respective operator and data controller or other available privacy notices published by the operator and data controller. MOBOTIX or its representatives do not have access to any of the data being processed or stored by the independent operator. We help our customers, i.e., the independent operators, in setting up the system or for support, maintenance and related activities only via prior explicit approval and written authorization of the customer/operator/data controller. The system has appropriate security features like encryption to protect the data from unauthorized access.
