Welcome to our website! Protecting your data and your privacy is very important to us. Below we wish to outline what data we process, when, for what purpose and on what legal basis. We shall explain to you how our services work and how the protection of your personal data is guaranteed.
As defined in Art. 4 No. 1 of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), personal data is all information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified directly or indirectly. Further information can be found in Art. 4 No. 1 GDPR.
This Privacy Policy can be retrieved, saved and printed at any time at https://smatrix.systems/en/data-protection.
If we cite our legitimate interest or the legitimate interest of a third party (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR) as the legal basis for the processing of personal data, you have the right to object pursuant to Art. 21 GDPR: According to Art. 21 GDPR you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data at any time. We will then no longer process the personal data for purposes of direct marketing or any related profiling.
Neither will we process your personal data for other purposes after an objection, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims (cf. Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR, so-called “restricted right to object”). In this case, you must state grounds for the objection which result from your particular situation.
You may also object to the processing of your personal data for reasons arising from your particular situation where personal data are processed for scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes pursuant to Art. 89 Para. 1 GDPR, unless such processing is necessary for the performance of a task in the public interest (cf. Art. 21 Para. 6 GDPR).
We will also inform you separately about your right to object in the individual sections (e.g. by stating: “You have the right to object”) where this right exists. Here you will also find further information on how to exercise your right to object.
In order to keep the following Privacy Policy clear, we refer at various points by links to information and privacy notices located on external websites (see also the section “External Links” in this Privacy Policy). We make every effort to keep the links listed in this Privacy Policy up to date. Nevertheless, due to the constant updating of the web pages, the possibility that links do not function correctly cannot be excluded. If you notice such a link, we would be happy if you inform us so that we can insert the current link.
This privacy policy has been prepared in the German language. The German version shall be definitive and binding, even where an English translation has been produced.
The responsible party as defined by Art. 4 No. 7 GDPR for the processing of personal data is:

Other services used by us also use cookies. We inform you separately about the use of cookies for the individual services.
On our website we use various services of Google LLC (“Google”), 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.
You will find more detailed information about the specific Google services that we use on this website in this Privacy Policy.
Google may collect and process information (including personal data) through the integration of Google services. The possibility that Google may also transfer the information to a server in a third country cannot be ruled out.
As stated in Google’s Privacy Shield certification (available at https://www.privacyshield.gov/list under the search term “Google”), Google is committed to complying with the EU-US Privacy Shield Framework and the Swiss-US Privacy Shield Framework for the collection, use and storage of personal data from EU member states and Switzerland. Google, including Google LLC and its wholly owned subsidiaries in the US, has been certified to comply with the Privacy Shield Principles. Further information can be found at https://www.google.de/policies/privacy/frameworks/.
We ourselves cannot influence what data Google actually collects and processes. However, Google states that the following information (including personal data) may be processed among others:
we process to your account and treat it as personal information, depending on your account preferences. On this point, see in particular https://www.google.de/policies/privacy/partners/.
If you are signed in to your Google Account, Google may add the information
Google does the following, among other things:
“We may combine the information we collect among our services and across your devices for the purposes described above. For example, if you watch videos of guitar players on YouTube, you might see an ad for guitar lessons on a site that uses our ad products. Depending on your account settings, your activity on other sites and apps may be associated with your personal information in order to improve Google’s services and the ads delivered by Google” (https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en-GB)
You can prevent this information from being added directly by logging out of your Google Account or by adjusting your Google Account settings accordingly. You may also prevent the installation of cookies – insofar as Google generates them – by adjusting your browser settings accordingly. However, please note that if you do this you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website.

On our website we use Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google LLC (“Google”), 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.
Google Analytics uses “cookies”, which are text files placed on your device, to help the website analyse how visitors use the site. Google Analytics may also use so-called web beacons (invisible graphics). These web beacons can be used to evaluate information such as visitor traffic to websites. The information generated by cookies and web beacons about the use of our website (including the user’s IP address) will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States or other third countries. This information may be disclosed by Google to Google’s contract partners.
For information about Google’s existing Privacy Shield certification and other relevant information about Google’s data processing activities when you use Google services, please see section 6) of this Privacy Policy: “Information about Google services”.
The following data types are processed by Google:
In addition, you can find more detailed information about the information processed at https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en#infocollect under “Information we collect as you use our services” and at https://privacy.google.com/businesses/adsservices/.
We only use Google Analytics with IP anonymization enabled (“anonymise IP”). This will cause Google to truncate your IP address within member states of the European Union or other states party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the US and truncated there.
Furthermore, we have concluded an order processing agreement with Google for the use of Google Analytics (Art. 28 GDPR). Google processes the data on our behalf in order to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activity for us and provide us with other services relating to website activity and internet usage. Google may transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google’s behalf.
By integrating Google Analytics, our purpose is to analyse user behaviour on our website so that we can respond accordingly. This enables us to continuously improve our offering.
Legal basis for the processing of personal data described here is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our justified interest in this is the great benefit that the functions described above have for our offering. The statistical evaluation of user behaviour enables us in particular to respond and optimise our services in line with the interests of our customers.
Within the scope of order processing, Google is entitled to commission subcontractors. A list of these subcontractors can be found at https://privacy.google.com/businesses/subprocessors/.
Right to object
You have the right to object. You can prevent your data from being processed by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en
You can also prevent Google Analytics from collecting data by clicking on the following link.
An opt-out cookie will be set to prevent your data from being collected when you visit this website in the future. Deactivate Google Analytics.
In addition, you can prevent the collection of data by web beacons by downloading and installing the add-on for your browser available at the following link:
https://adblockplus.org/
You may also prevent the installation of cookies by adjusting your browser settings accordingly. However, please note that if you do this you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website.
You can find out how to delete cookies and change the cookie settings in the most common browsers here:
The processed information will be stored for 26 months and will be automatically deleted at the end of this period.

The provision of personal data is neither required by law nor by contract, nor is it necessary to conclude a contract. You are also not obliged to provide the personal data. However, failure to do so may result in your inability to use our website or to use its full functionality.
We use videos from YouTube and YouTube plug-ins on our website. YouTube is a service of YouTube LLC (“YouTube”), 901 Cherry Ave, San Bruno, CA 94066, USA and is provided by YouTube LLC. YouTube LLC is a subsidiary of Google Inc. (“Google”), 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.
The integration of YouTube takes place by embedding the service on our website using a so-called “iFrame”. YouTube or Google may collect and process information (including personal data) when you load this iFrame. The possibility that Google may also transfer the information to a server in a third country cannot be ruled out.
For information about Google’s existing Privacy Shield certification and other relevant information about Google’s data processing activities when you use Google services, please see section 6) of this Privacy Policy: “Information about Google services”.
We do not collect any data ourselves when you watch a YouTube video on our site.
By integrating YouTube, our purpose is to provide you with various videos on our website so that you can view them directly on our website.
Legal basis for the processing of personal data described here is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our justified interest in this is the great benefit that YouTube offers. By integrating external videos, we reduce the load on our servers and can use the corresponding resources for other purposes. Among other things, this can increase the stability of our servers. In addition, YouTube and/or Google has a justified interest in the collected (personal) data in order to improve its own services.
