Your rights as a data subject / individual
If the EU GDPR applies to you, we would like to inform you about your rights as a data subject. These rights are standardised in Art. 15 - 22 EU GDPR. This includes:
- The right to information (Art. 15 EU GDPR),
- The right to erasure (Art. 17 EU GDPR),
- The right to rectification (Art. 16 EU GDPR),
- The right to data portability (Art. 20 EU GDPR),
- The right to restriction of data processing (Art. 18 EU GDPR),
- The right to object to data processing (Art. 21 EU GDPR).
Rights of objection under the EU GDPR
In the event that we process your data for the protection of legitimate interests, you may object to this processing at any time on grounds relating to your particular situation; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions.
We will then no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.
Purposes and legal basis of data processing
UVEX ARBEITSSCHUTZ GmbH only processes anonymized measurement data to suggest suitable models including shoe size and width. In principle, all provisions of the EU DS-GVO and all other applicable data protection regulations are complied with.
We use your data to initiate business, to fulfil contractual and legal obligations, to implement the contractual relationship, to offer products and services and to strengthen the customer relationship, which may also include analyses for marketing purposes and direct advertising.
Your consent to data processing may also constitute a permission requirement under the Applicable Privacy Laws. For data entered into or collected using the UVEX Fit Advisor App, your data is primarily processed to enable the individual functions of the app (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a, 6 para. 1 lit. b EU GDPR).
Disclosure to third parties
We may disclose your data to other companies within our group. We will only pass on your data to third parties as permitted by the applicable Privacy Laws or with your corresponding consent. Otherwise, we will not disclose your data to third parties unless we are obliged to do so by mandatory legal provisions (disclosure to external bodies such as supervisory authorities, regulators or law enforcement agencies).
Recipients of the data / categories of recipients
Within our company, we ensure that only those persons receive your data who need it to fulfil contractual and legal obligations.
In certain cases, IT service providers and group-affiliated companies support our specialist departments in the fulfilment of their tasks. The necessary data protection contracts have been concluded with all service providers.
Third country transfer / intention to transfer data to third countries
The data within the UVEX Fit Advisor App is analysed by a service provider in the European Union. Data is only transferred to third countries (including outside the European Union or the European Economic Area, Australia or New Zealand) if this is necessary for the performance of the contractual relationship, is required by law or you have given us your consent.
Storage period of the data
We do not have any personal data in the course of using the app. Anonymised measurement data is retained for the evaluation and further development of the app.
Secure transfer of your data
In order to protect the data stored by us in the best possible way against accidental or intentional manipulation, loss, destruction or access by unauthorised persons, we use appropriate technical and organisational security measures. The security levels are continuously reviewed in cooperation with security experts and adapted to new security standards.
Categories, sources and origin of data
The UVEX Fit Advisor App contains the current product portfolio at the time of installation. This can be updated via an update of the app.
When using our app, we collect and process the following data:
- Measured foot length and width
- Date and time of the foot size measurement
- Measurement photos for debugging
We do not link data collected through the app with other data or the products you have viewed.
When you download the UVEX Fit Advisor App, the necessary information is transferred to the app store operator (such as Apple App Store or Google Play). We have no influence on this data collection and are not responsible for it. We recommend that you review the privacy policies of the relevant app store operator. We process the data that the app store operator makes available to us within the scope of our contractual relationship for the purpose of further developing our apps and services.
Granted access rights
In order for the UVEX Fit Advisor App to work on your device, it is necessary to grant the app various permissions to access certain functions of the device. We explain the primary functions for which permission is required - the specific name may vary depending on the operating system:
- Camera: We need access to your camera to take the measurement of your foot size.
- Microphone: We need access to your microphone to allow you to trigger a photo by voice command
- Network connection / Mobile data: The recommendation of the specific foot or shoe size takes place on the central servers. An internet connection is therefore required to enable this function.
Automated individual case decisions
We do not use any purely automated processing processes to bring about a decision.
