To integrate social media on our website we use social media plugins. Plugins are deactivated by default to prevent an automated transfer of personal data. By clicking the plugin, our users activate it and initiate the data transfer. Log-data (e.g. IP-address) are transferred via internet browser to the server of the respective plugin provider and if applicable saved. This server may be located outside the EU/EEA (e.g. in the US).
How to block plugins: If you don’t want the data transfer between you and social media, you should log out of your social media before using our website. Additionally, you can activate the private mode of your browser in its privacy settings. A further step can be deactivating/restricting cookies in your browser settings. The loading of plugins can be completely prevented by using add-ons for your browser (so called script-blocker).
KNIME’s control over data processing by social media plugins: Plugins are independent add-ons of the plugin provider. KNIME does not have any influence on the amount of data obtained and saved by the plugin provider. If one of the mentioned providers has installed a plugin on your device, they can log your browsing habits and create detailed user profiles by analyzing tracking data. Further information on the purpose and scope of the data processing of plugin providers as well on your rights and settings options to protect your personal data can be found in the privacy policies of the respective plugin providers.
In general, we only disclose your personal data to third parties insofar as we have a legitimate interest in doing so, it is necessary to perform the contract we have with you or if you have given your consent. Furthermore, your data may be disclosed to third parties insofar as we may be obliged to do so pursuant to legal provisions or an enforceable administrative or court order.
We use third party service providers for data processing. Service providers are generally involved as so-called Processors, who may only process the personal data of the visitor of our website, our clients or job applications in accordance with our instructions. For example, your contact details may be passed along to a service provider in order to give you access to a Webinar in which you requested participation.
We also provide personal data to third parties, respectively Processors, that are not based in Switzerland or the EU / EEA. In this case, we ensure prior to disclosure either that the recipient provides an adequate level of data protection (e.g.: on the basis of an official adequacy decision for the relevant country, the application of standard contractual clauses (SCC) of the European Union or the model contract of the Swiss Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC)) or that you have provided your consent.
We can provide you with an overview of the third country recipients along with a copy of the terms (SCC) specifically agreed to in order to ensure an adequate level of data protection.
You have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection authority.
