For users who registered before Aug 1, 2022 valid from Oct 1, 2022.

The German version of our Privacy Policy is binding.

The English translation is only for information purposes.


Data protection is a particular concern of Industry List GmbH. Our efforts to meet the requirements of the European Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Federal Data Protection Act in its new version are primarily geared towards the goal of respecting your privacy and personal sphere.

For modern companies such as Industry List GmbH, the use of electronic data processing systems (EDP) is indispensable nowadays. It goes without saying that we make every effort to observe the statutory regulations in this respect.

However, if a data subject wants to use special services of our enterprise via our website, processing of personal data could become necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary and if there is no legal basis for such processing, we will generally obtain the consent of the data subject.

We will never sell or rent your personal information to third parties for their marketing or other purposes. If you do not agree with the provisions of the data protection regulations, please do not send any personal data to us.

(1) When you use our platform for information purposes only, i.e. if you do not register or otherwise transmit information to us, we only collect the personal data that your browser transmits to our server. If you wish to view our platform, we collect the following data, which is technically necessary for us to display our platform to you and to ensure stability and security (legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f GDPR):

(3) Use of cookies:

1. A basic distinction is made between the following cookie types/functions:

a) Transient cookies are automatically deleted when you close the browser. These include, in particular, session cookies.

The session cookies are deleted when you log out or close the browser.

b) Persistent cookies are automatically deleted after a specified period of time, which may differ depending on the cookie. You can delete the cookies in the security settings of your browser at any time.

c) Necessary cookies are those that are absolutely necessary for the operation of a homepage.

d) Statistical, marketing or personalization cookies are used, among other things, as part of a range of measurements and also, for example, if the interests of a user or their behavior is to be stored in a user profile.

g) The Flash cookies used are not collected by your browser, but by your Flash plug-in. Furthermore, we use HTML5 storage objects that are stored on your end device. These objects store the required data independently of the browser you are using and have no automatic expiry date. If you do not want Flash cookies to be processed, you must install an appropriate add-on, e.g. 'Better Privacy' for Mozilla Firefox (https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/betterprivacy/) or the Adobe Flash Killer Cookie for Google Chrome. You can prevent the use of HTML5 storage objects by setting your browser to private mode. We also recommend that you manually delete your cookies and browser history on a regular basis.

In principle, the data processed with the help of cookies is processed on the basis of our legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f)) or, if the use of cookies is necessary to fulfil our contractual obligations (Art. 6(1)(b)). If we ask you for consent, the legal basis for the processing of the data is the declared consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit a)).

3. Of course, you have the option to revoke your consent at any time or to object to the processing of your data by cookie technologies ('opt-out'). Your objection can initially be declared using the settings of your browser. An objection to the use of cookies for online marketing purposes can also be declared by means of a variety of services, especially in the case of tracking, via the US-American site http://optout.aboutads.info/choices or the EU site http://www.youronlinechoices.com/ in general at http://optout.aboutads.info.

(1) In addition to the purely informational use of our platform, we offer various services that you can use if you are interested. For this purpose, you usually have to provide further personal data which we use to provide the respective service and for which the aforementioned data processing principles apply.

(2) In some cases, we use external service providers to process your data. These have been carefully selected and commissioned by us, are bound by our instructions and are regularly monitored.

(3) The hosting services used by us serve to provide the following services: Infrastructure and platform services, computing capacity, storage space and database services, security services and technical maintenance services, which we use for the purpose of operating this online offer.

In doing so, we, or our hosting provider, process inventory data, contact data, content data, contract data, usage data, metadata and communication data of customers, interested parties and visitors of this online offer on the basis of our legitimate interests in an efficient and secure provision of this online offer pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR in conjunction with Art. 28 GDPR.

6. Data protection for applications

The data person responsible collects and processes the personal data of applicants for the purpose of handling the application procedure. The processing may also be carried out electronically. This is the case in particular if an applicant sends relevant application documents to the person responsible by electronic means, for example by e-mail or via a contact form located on the website. If the person responsible concludes an employment contract with an applicant, the transmitted data will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment contract in compliance with the statutory provisions. If the person responsible does not conclude an employment contract with the applicant, the application documents are automatically deleted, provided that no other legitimate interests of the person responsible prevent such deletion. Other legitimate interest in this sense is, for example, a duty to provide evidence in proceedings under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).

The processing of the applicant data is carried out to fulfil our (pre)contractual obligations in the context of the application procedure within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) lit. b. GDPR Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. GDPR, insofar as the data processing becomes necessary for us, e.g. within the scope of legal procedures (in Germany, § 26 BDSG also applies).

7. Objection or revocation against the processing of your data

(1) If you have given your consent to the processing of your data, you may revoke this consent at any time and by any means of communication. Such revocation will affect the permissibility of processing your personal data after you have expressed it to us.

(2) Where we base the processing of your personal data on the balance of interests, you may object to the processing. This is the case if the processing is not necessary, in particular, for the fulfillment of a contract with you, which is shown by us in each case in the following description of the functions. When exercising such an objection, we ask you to explain the reasons why we should not process your personal data as we have done. In the event of your justified objection, we will review the situation and either discontinue or adapt the data processing or show you our compelling legitimate grounds on the basis of which we will continue the processing.

(3) Of course, you can object to the processing of your personal data for advertising and data analysis purposes at any time. You can contact us about your advertising objection at the address given under point 2. (2) offer.

8. Legal or contractual requirements for the provision of personal data/necessity for the conclusion of a contract/consequences of non-provision/deletion

(1) We would like to inform you that the provision of personal data is sometimes required by law. However, it may also be possible that a data subject must provide us with personal data in order for a contract to be performed. Failure to provide such data would mean that the contract could not be concluded. Our staff will be happy to answer any questions you may have on a case-by-case basis.

(2) The data processed by us will be deleted, or its processing restricted in accordance with Articles 17 and 18 GDPR. Unless expressly stated in this data protection declaration, the data stored by us will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required for its intended purpose and the deletion does not conflict with any statutory retention obligations. If the data is not deleted because it is required for other and legally permissible purposes, its processing will be restricted. This means that the data is blocked and not processed for other purposes. This applies, for example, to data that must be retained for reasons of commercial or tax law.

According to legal requirements, the data is stored for 10 years in particular in accordance with §§ 147 para. 1 AO, 257 para. 1 nos. 1 and 4, para. 4 HGB (books, records, management reports, accounting vouchers, commercial books, documents relevant for taxation, etc.) and 6 years in accordance with § 257 para. 1 nos. 2 and 3, para. 4 HGB (commercial letters).

9. Use of our platform / voluntary registration

(1) If you wish to use our platform, you can register voluntarily by providing your first name, last name, company name, e-mail address, VAT identification number and a password of your choice. There is no obligation to use a clear name. We use the so-called double opt-in procedure for registration, i.e. your registration is only completed once you have confirmed your registration by clicking on the link contained in a confirmation e-mail sent to you for this purpose. If your confirmation is not received within 48 hours, your registration will be automatically deleted from our database. The provision of the aforementioned data is mandatory in the case of registration; you can provide all other information voluntarily by using our portal.

(2) If you use our platform, we store your data required for the fulfilment of the contract until you finally delete your access. Furthermore, we store the voluntary data you provide for the duration of your use of the platform, unless you delete it beforehand. You can manage and change all data in the protected login area, provided you have registered. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. b) GDPR.

(3) By registering on the website of the controller, the IP address assigned by the Internet service provider (ISP) of the data subject, the date and the time of registration are also stored. The storage of this data takes place against the background that only in this way can the misuse of our services be prevented and, if necessary, this data makes it possible to clarify criminal offences that have been committed. In this respect, the storage of this data is necessary for the protection of the data controller. As a matter of principle, this data is not passed on to third parties unless there is a legal obligation to pass it on or the passing on serves the purpose of criminal prosecution.(

(4) If you use the platform, your data may be made available to other participants of the portal in accordance with the contractual performance. This is particularly the case if you have created a supplier profile. Once the supplier profile has been created, it is visible to all users. You can change or delete your data at any time in your login area, provided you are a registered user.

(5) In order to prevent unauthorised access to your personal data by third parties, the connection is of course encrypted.

10. Newsletter

(1) With your consent, you can subscribe to our newsletter, with which we inform you about our current interesting offers. The advertised goods and services are named in the declaration of consent.

(2) We use the so-called double-opt-in procedure to subscribe to our newsletter. This means that after your registration, we will send you an e-mail to the e-mail address you provided, in which we ask you to confirm that you wish to receive the newsletter. If you do not confirm your registration within 48 hours, your information will be blocked and automatically deleted after one month. In addition, we store your IP addresses, the computer system used and the times of registration and confirmation. The purpose of this procedure is to be able to prove your registration and, if necessary, to clarify a possible misuse of your personal data.

(3) The personal data collected in the course of registering for the newsletter is used exclusively for sending our newsletter. Furthermore, subscribers to the newsletter could be informed by e-mail if this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or a related registration, as could be the case in the event of changes to the newsletter service or changes in technical circumstances. No personal data collected as part of the newsletter service will be passed on to third parties.

(4) The only mandatory information for sending the newsletter is your e-mail address. The provision of further, separately marked data is voluntary and will be used to address you personally. After your confirmation, we store your e-mail address for the purpose of sending you the newsletter. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. a GDPR.

(5) You can revoke your consent to the sending of the newsletter at any time and unsubscribe from the newsletter. You can send your revocation to us by any means of communication, for example by clicking on the link provided in every newsletter email, by email to news@industrylist.com or by sending a message to the contact details provided in the imprint.

(6) We would like to point out that we evaluate your user behavior when sending the newsletter. For this evaluation, the e-mails sent contain so-called web beacons or tracking pixels, which are single-pixel image files stored on our website. For the evaluations, we link the data mentioned in section 4 and the web beacons with your e-mail address and an individual ID. With the data obtained in this way, we create a user profile in order to tailor the newsletter to your individual interests. In doing so, we record when you read our newsletters, which links you click on in them, and infer your personal interests from this. We link this data to actions you have taken on our website.

You can object to this tracking at any time by clicking on the separate link provided in each email or by informing us via any other contact channel. The information will be stored for as long as you are subscribed to the newsletter. After unsubscribing, we store the data purely statistically and anonymously. Moreover, such tracking is not possible if you have deactivated the display of images by default in your e-mail program. In this case, the newsletter will not be displayed to you in full, and you may not be able to use all the functions. If you display the images manually, the above-mentioned tracking will take place.

(7) Newsletter - Service provider
The newsletter is sent using the dispatch service provider SendGrid, a newsletter dispatch platform of the US provider Twilio Inc, a Delaware corporation, located at 375 Beale Street, Suite 300, San Francisco, CA 94105, USA. You can view the privacy policy of the shipping service provider here: https://www.twilio.com/legal/privacy. The shipping service provider is used on the basis of our legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR. We have concluded the necessary contracts with the shipping service provider in accordance with data protection law.

The dispatch service provider may use the recipients' data in pseudonymous form, i.e. without assigning it to a user, to optimize or improve its own services, e.g. to technically optimize the dispatch and presentation of the newsletter or for statistical purposes. However, the dispatch service provider does not use the data of our newsletter recipients to write to them itself or to pass the data on to third parties.
