CURSOR Service Distribution is a division of CURSOR Software AG. In accordance with the different business areas, CURSOR Software AG has published various pages on the Internet (different domains). The Internet pages of CURSOR Software AG differ in the type of content and in the type of services offered. The collection and processing of personal data may therefore vary from website to website.
In the following, we use the abbreviation CURSOR for CURSOR Software AG as the responsible company, as stated under point 2. The use of the abbreviation CURSOR does not represent a generalization of this data protection statement in relation to other Internet pages of CURSOR Software AG and its subsidiaries.
This data privacy information applies to visitors to the website of CURSOR Service Distribution (hereinafter the website) with the domains "www.cursor-distribution.de" and "www.admin-scout.com".
The use of our website is generally possible without the disclosure of any personal data. If you wish to make use of special services of our company via our website, the processing of personal data may become necessary.

The processing of personal data, such as name, address, e-mail address or telephone number, is always carried out in accordance with the basic data protection regulation and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to CURSOR.
As the company responsible for processing, CURSOR has implemented technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete possible protection of personal data processed via this website. Nevertheless, internet-based data transmissions can have security gaps, so that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every person concerned is free to transmit personal data to us by alternative means, for example by telephone.

4. General information about data processing
4.1 Scope of the processing of personal data
The responsible party collects and uses personal data of its users (hereinafter also referred to as "data subject" or "visitor") only to the extent necessary for the provision of a functional website and for the presentation of the contents and services. The collection and processing of personal data of users for other purposes is regularly only carried out with the consent of the user. An exception applies in cases where prior consent cannot be obtained for factual reasons, the processing is based on pre-contractual or contractual measures and the processing of the data is permitted by law.
4.2. Legal basis for the processing of personal data
In so far as the controller obtains the consent of the data subject for processing operations involving personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. a of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis for the processing of personal data. For any transfer to a non-secure third country, the processing is based on Art. 49 para. 1 p. 1 lit. a GDPR.
When processing personal data that is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. b DSGVO serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary for the performance of pre-contractual measures.
If processing of personal data is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which the controller is subject, Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. c GDPR serves as the legal basis.
In the case that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person make it necessary to process personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. d GDPR serves as the legal basis.
If the processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of the controller or a third party and the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not override the former interest, Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing.
4.3. Data deletion and duration of storage
The personal data of the data subject will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage ceases to apply or consent given is revoked by the data subject. In addition, storage may take place if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in Union regulations, laws or other regulations to which the responsible party is subject. Data will also be blocked or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless there is a need for further storage of the data for the conclusion or performance of a contract.
5. Rights of the data subject
When we process personal data from you, you have the following rights as a data subject against us as the controller:
5.1. Right of information, Art. 15 GDPR
You have the right to (free) information about your collected and stored personal data at any time within the framework of the applicable legal provisions. This includes, among other things, information about their processing purposes, their origin and recipients, the storage period and the existence of various rights.
5.2. Right to rectification, Art. 16 GDPR
You have a right of rectification and/or completion vis-à-vis the controller, insofar as the personal data processed concerning you are inaccurate or incomplete. The controller shall carry out the rectification without undue delay.
5.3. Right to deletion, Art. 17 GDPR
You may request the deletion of your personal data at any time under the conditions of Art. 17 of the GDPR, unless exceptions (such as statutory retention obligations) still apply that entitle the controller to continue processing your personal data.
5.4. Right to restrict processing, Art. 18 GDPR
You have the right, within the framework of the requirements of Art. 18 GDPR, to request a restriction of the processing of data concerning you. A requirement of Art. 18 para. 1 GDPR must be met.
5.5. Right to be informed, Art. 19 GDPR
If you have asserted the right to rectification, erasure or restriction of processing against the controller, the controller is obliged to notify all recipients to whom the personal data concerning you have been disclosed of this rectification or erasure of the data or restriction of processing, unless this proves impossible or involves a disproportionate effort. You have the right against the controller to be informed about these recipients.
5.6. Right to data portability, Art. 20 GDPR
If processing takes place on the basis of your consent or on the basis of a contract and with the aid of automated processes, you have a right to the transfer of the data provided by you within the scope of Art. 20 GDPR, provided that the rights and freedoms of other persons are not thereby impaired. The provision shall take place in a common, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done insofar as it is technically possible.
5.7. Right of objection, Art. 21 GDPR
You have the right to object to the processing of your data at any time, provided that the processing is carried out on the basis of a balancing of interests. This is the case if the controller relies on the public interest or its legitimate interest for processing (see Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. e and f). The prerequisite is that you assert reasons arising from your particular situation which outweigh the interests of the controller. The controller will no longer process the personal data concerning you unless the controller demonstrates compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.
Art. 21 para. 2 GDPR contains a special, deviating regulation if the personal data concerning you is used for direct marketing. In this case, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data at any time without further requirements. The personal data concerning you will no longer be processed for the purpose of direct marketing. If profiling is associated with direct advertising, you can also object to this.
In connection with the use of information society services, you have the option of exercising your right to object by means of automated procedures that use technical specifications.
5.8. Automated decision in individual cases, Art. 22 GDPR
In accordance with Art. 22 GDPR, you have the right that decisions which produce legal effects concerning you or similarly affect you are not based solely on automated processing, including profiling. Exceptions may exist if appropriate measures for the protection of your person are guaranteed and there are necessary contractual regulations or a legal provision or you have expressly consented.
This does not apply if the decision
(1) is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between you and the controller,
(2) is permitted by legislation of the Union or the Member States to which the controller is subject and that legislation contains adequate measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests, or
(3) is given with your explicit consent.
However, these decisions may not be based on special categories of personal data pursuant to Art. 9 para. 1 of the GDPR, unless Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a or lit. g applies and appropriate measures have been taken to protect the rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests. With regard to the cases mentioned in (1) and (3), the controller shall take reasonable steps to safeguard the rights and freedoms as well as your legitimate interests, which include, at a minimum, the right to obtain the intervention of a person on the part of the controller, to express his or her point of view and to contest the decision.
5.9. Right to withdraw your consent, Art. 7 para. 3 GDPR
You have the right to revoke your declaration of consent under data protection law at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation. You can send the revocation by e-mail or by mail to the person responsible.
5.10. Right to complain to a supervisory authority
Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your residence, workplace or the place of the alleged infringement, if you consider that the processing of personal data concerning you infringes the GDPR.
The supervisory authority to which the complaint has been lodged shall inform the complainant of the status and outcome of the complaint, including the possibility of a judicial remedy under Article 78 GDPR.
If you are in another federal state or not in Germany, you can also contact the data protection authority there. The supervisory authority responsible for us is the Hessian Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information.
