For reasons of easier legibility, gender-specific differentiation is not used. The same terms apply to both genders in the sense of equal treatment.
Article 4 of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) sets out what the terms used, such as "personal data" or their" processing", mean.
The personal user data processed in the context of this online offer include inventory data (e.g. names and addresses of customers), contract data (e.g. services used, names of clerks, payment information), usage data (e.g. websites visited on our online offer, interest in our products), and content data (e.g. entries in the contact form).
"Users" includes all categories of persons affected by data processing. This includes, for example, our business partners, customers, interested parties and other visitors to our online offering.
We guarantee that we will only collect, process, store and use your data in connection with the processing of your inquiries, as well as for internal purposes, and to provide services or content requested by you.
We process personal data of users only in compliance with the relevant data protection regulations. User data will only be processed if the following legal provisions exist
We would like to show you where the above legal bases are laid down in the GDPR:
Consent: Art. 6/1 sub-par. a. and Art. 7 DSGVO (GDPR)
Processing for the performance of our services and implementation of contractual measures: Art. 6 Par. 1 sub-par. b, GDPR
Processing for compliance with our legal obligations: Art. 6 Par. 1 sub-par. c, GDPR
Processing for the purposes of our legitimate interests_ Art. 6 Par. 1 sub-par. f, GDPR
Data will not be passed to third parties.
We adhere to the principles of data economy and data avoidance. This means that we only store the data provided to us for as long as necessary to fulfil the aforementioned purposes or as long as the various storage periods provided for by the legislator stipulate. If the re-spective purpose does not apply any more, or after the expiry of the corresponding periods, your data will be blocked or deleted as a matter of routine and in accordance with the statutory provisions.
To ensure this procedure, we have developed an internal company concept.
If you contact us via e-mail or contact form, you agree to electronic communication. In the context of contacting us, personal data is collected. Which data is collected in the case of a contact form can be seen from the respective contact form. Your data will be transmitted SSL-encrypted. The information you provide will only be stored for the purpose of processing your inquiry and for possible follow-up questions.
We use software for the maintenance of customer data (ERP system) or comparable software based on our legitimate interests (efficient and fast processing of user inquiries). The system is operated by us inhouse. No data is therefore passed on to third parties. We would like to point out that e-mails can be read or changed during transmission without authorization and unnoticed. Furthermore, we would like to draw your attention to the fact that we use a software for filtering unsolicited e-mails (spam filter). The spam filter can reject emails that have been falsely identified as spam by certain features.
You have the right to obtain information about your stored data free of charge. Upon request, we will inform you in writing what personal data we have stored about you in accordance with applicable law. This also includes the origin and recipients of your data as well as the purpose of data processing.
You have the right to have your data stored with us corrected if it is incorrect. In this case, you can request a restriction of the processing, e.g. in the event that the accuracy of your personal data is contested.
You can also have your data blocked. To ensure that your data can be blocked at any time, this data must be kept in a lock file for control purposes.
You can also request the deletion of your personal data, as far as no legal storage obligations exist. If such an obligation exists, we will block your data on request. If the corresponding legal requirements are met, we will delete your personal data even if you do not request it.
You are entitled to require us to provide the personal data transmitted to us in a format that permits the transmission to another party.
You can complain to one of the data protection supervisory authorities.

You have the possibility to revoke the use of your data for internal purposes at any time with effect for the future. All you need to do is send an e-mail to datenschutz@codesys.com. However, such revocation does not affect the lawfulness of the processing procedures carried out by us up to that point. This does not affect data processing with regard to all other legal bases, such as the initiation of a contract (see above).
We take contractual, organizational, and technical security measures in accordance with the state of the art to ensure that the provisions of data protection laws are observed and thus to protect the data processed by us against accidental or intentional manipulation, loss, destruction, or against access by unauthorized persons.

Users have the possibility to register on this website with the indication of personal data. Which personal data are transmitted to 3S-Smart Software Solutions GmbH is determined by the respective input mask used for the registration. The personal data entered by the user are collected and stored exclusively for internal use by 3S-Smart Software Solutions GmbH.
By registering on the CODESYS Forge website, the IP address - assigned by the Internet service provider (ISP) and used by the visitor - date, and time of the registration are also stored. The storage of this data takes place against the background that this is the only way to prevent the misuse of our services, and, if necessary, to make it possible to investigate committed offenses. This data is not passed on to third parties unless there is a statutory obligation to pass on the data, or if the transfer serves the aim of criminal prosecution.
The registration of the data subject, with the voluntary indication of personal data, is intended to enable 3S-Smart Software Solutions GmbH to offer the data subject contents or services that may only be offered to registered users due to the nature of the matter in question. Registered persons are free to change the personal data specified during the registration at any time, or to disable their account. If they want to have their account deleted completely, they have to contact 3S-Smart Software Solutions GmbH.
3S-Smart Software Solutions GmbH shall, at any time, provide information upon request to each registered user as to what personal data are stored about this specific user. In addition, 3S-Smart Software Solutions GmbH shall correct or erase personal data at the request or indication of the registered user, insofar as there are no statutory storage obligations. To contact 3S-Smart Software Solutions GmbH in this respect, the registered user shall write to forge@codesys.com.
3S-Smart Software Solutions GmbH offers users the possibility to add content to the website via comments, blogs, wiki pages, forums or source code repositories.
If a user adds content to the website, the data made by the user are also stored and published, as well as information on the date of the publishing event and on the display name chosen by the user. In addition, the IP address assigned by the Internet service provider (ISP) to the user is also logged. This storage of the IP address takes place for security reasons, and in case the user violates the rights of third parties, or posts illegal content. The storage of these personal data is, therefore, in the own interest of 3S-Smart Software Solutions GmbH, so that they can exculpate in the event of an infringement. This collected personal data will not be passed to third parties, unless such a transfer is required by law or serves the aim of the defense of 3S-Smart Software Solutions GmbH.
The data, which was published by the user, can also be deleted by the user. In case that a deletion by the user himself is technically not possible, he might request a deletion through 3S-Smart Software Solutions GmbH, by sending an e-mail to forge@codesys.com. On deletion, not all traces of the data can be deleted. The data might already be spread through notifications or republished by third-parties. What will be removed is the publication on CODESYS Forge.

If a registered user decides to subscribe to the option, 3S-Smart Software Solutions GmbH will send an email upon change of the content on which the user requested user subscribed. The user can at any time cancel this subscription by visiting the preferences page of his account and clicking on subscriptions.
Every notification which is sent to the user upon his subscription is stored. Beside a reference to the user and a reference to the content, which has changes, the specific change of the artifact and the publication date is stored.
