Privacy Policy

The requirements of the EU Data Protection Regulation (hereinafter referred to as: GDPR) apply throughout Europe. Please read our privacy policy carefully.

The following data privacy information informs you about the nature and extent of the processing of so-called personal data by ISM 足球即时比分 School of Management GmbH (hereinafter: ISM). Which data is processed in detail and how it is used depends largely on the services you have requested and have agreed upon. Therefore, not all parts of this data privacy information will apply to you. Personal data is information that can be directly or indirectly attributed to you.

Data processing by ISM can be divided into two main categories:

1. For the purpose of contract processing, all data required for the execution of a contract with ISM will be processed. If external service providers are also involved in the processing and execution of the contract, for instance transport companies, your data will be passed on to them to the extent necessary in each case.
2. When you access the ISM website/application, various information is exchanged between your end device and our server. This may also be personal data. The information collected in this way is used, among other things, to optimize our website or to display advertising in the browser of your end device.

In accordance with the provisions of GDPR, you have various rights which you can assert in relation to us. These include the right to raise an objection in relation to selected data processing, in particular data processing for advertising purposes. The option to object is available in print.

The ISM websites are hosted on external servers in Europe and are thus subject to applicable safety regulations applicable in Europe. The legal basis for this are the agreements on commissioned processing according to Article 28 of EU-GDPR.

When you access our website/application, the browser used on your end device automatically sends information to the server of our website/application and temporarily stores it in a so-called log file. We have no influence on this. The following information is collected without your intervention and stored until automatic deletion after seven days:

1. IP address of the requesting Internet-enabled device,

The IP address of your terminal device and the other data listed above are used by us for the following purposes:

1. Ensuring smooth connection establishment,
2. Ensuring a comfortable use of our website/app,
3. Evaluating system security and stability as well as

If you have consented to so-called geolocation in your browser or in the operating system or other settings on your terminal device, we do not use this function. However, you may receive individual services based on your current location through the search engines you use or other online service providers.

The object of ISM's activities is the provision of services and the distance sale of goods, retail trade within the scope of the permits issued by the authorities and the serial production of the goods to be offered. In this context, we process the data required for the conclusion, execution or termination of a contract. This includes:

1. Last name / Birth name
2. First name
3. Place of birth
4. Country of birth
5. Date of birth

15. Registration for exams
16. Exam results
17. Study contract
18. If available, further supplementary documents to the study contract

The legal basis for this is Article 6 (1)(b) GDPR. Insofar as we do not use your contact data for advertising purposes (see 3.3. below), we store the data collected for the processing of the contract until the expiry of the statutory or possible contractual warranty and guarantee rights. After expiration of this period, we retain the information of the contractual relationship required by commercial and tax law for the periods determined by law. For this period (regularly ten years from the conclusion of the contract), the data is processed again solely in the event of an audit by the tax authorities.

Furthermore, the above-mentioned data will be forwarded to foreign partner universities as part of your mandatory semester abroad.

If necessary, we may verify your identity by using information from service providers. The legal basis for this is Article 6(1)(b) and (f) of GDPR. The authorization for this results from the protection of your identity and the prevention of fraud attempts at our expense. The circumstance and the result of our request will be added to your customer account or your guest account for the duration of the contractual relationship.

In the course of the ordering process, we also check your creditworthiness in order to be able to show you only the payment methods that can be used by you. For this purpose, we transmit the following types of data to so-called credit agencies cooperating with us: Name, address, date of birth. The legal basis for this is the following declaration of consent by you within the meaning of Article 6(1)(a) GDPR:

I hereby consent to the verification of my creditworthiness by ISM. I am aware that the check is already carried out at the beginning of the order process and that I can revoke my consent at any time.

You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future by sending a declaration to the address given under "Contact". The revocation of consent does not affect the lawfulness of the personal data processed until the revocation. If you do not want to give the above consent, please give us before you initiate the completion of your purchase a corresponding note or use the option of guest ordering. In this case, however, we can only offer you payment methods that are not associated with a credit risk for ISM. The circumstance and the result of our inquiry will be saved to your customer account for the duration of the contractual relationship.

If you have already made a purchase from us, the data we have stored about you may be supplemented by so-called score values. Scoring is the creation of a forecast of future events based on information collected and experience gained in the past. On the basis of the data stored about you, an assignment is made to statistical groups of people who have had similar entries in the past. The underlying method used is a well-founded mathematical-statistical method for forecasting risk probabilities that has been tried and tested in practice for a long time.

In the event of a delay in payment, we will transmit the necessary data to a company commissioned to enforce the claim if the other legal requirements are met. The legal bases for this are both Article 6(1)(b) and Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. The assertion of a contractual claim is to be regarded as a legitimate interest within the meaning of the second-named provision. We also transmit information about the delay in payment or a possible bad debt to credit agencies cooperating with us if the other legal requirements are met. The legal basis for this is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. The legitimate interest which this requires arises from our and third parties’ interest in reducing contract risks for future contracts.

In order to collect our outstanding receivables, we transfer this function to a collection agency and, in this context, pass on the necessary data to the collection agency commissioned by us. This company first checks the legitimacy of the receivables transferred for collection and then sends a reminder for the delinquent invoice in writing or, if necessary, by telephone. If payment is refused, the collection agency will initiate legal dunning proceedings if necessary. There is also the possibility of execution as well as the seizure of realizable objects.

ISM transmits the data collected during the application process for a study place (according to 3.2.1) as a curriculum vitae with attachments to qualified partner companies in order to support dual or part-time students in their search for a dual or partner in the run-up to their studies. The data will only be transmitted to partners exclusively for the application process. This data is deleted after completion of the application process or studies, unless longer legal retention periods exist.

Insofar as you have concluded a contract with us, we manage you as an existing customer. In this case, we process your contact data in order to send you information about new and similar products and services. From time to time, we transmit your postal contact data to contract partners selected by us with special care as service providers, so that they can inform you about new and similar products of ISM.

To ensure that you only receive information that is of supposed interest to you, we categorize and add further information to your customer profile. Statistical information as well as information about you (e.g. basic data of your customer profile) is used for this purpose. The aim is to send you advertising that is geared solely to your actual or perceived needs and, accordingly, not to bother you with useless advertising.

The legal basis for the aforementioned data processing is in each case Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. The processing of existing customer data in this way for our own advertising purposes or for the advertising purposes of third parties is to be regarded as legitimate interest.

You can object to data processing for the aforementioned purposes separately for the respective communication channel at any time and with effect for the future. For this purpose, it is sufficient to send an e-mail or a postal letter to the contact details mentioned under section 1.

If you object, the contact address concerned will be blocked for further data processing for advertising purposes. We would like to point out that in exceptional cases, advertising material may still be sent after receipt of your objection. This is due to technical reasons and does not mean that we will not implement your objection. Thank you for your understanding.
