The following provides you with more information about meetyoo services:

Services

Telephone Conference/AudioEvent

You receive access data from the organizer so that you can participate in the telephone conference or audio event. You dial in with a dial-in number and a PIN, if applicable. When you participate in a telephone conference, the call details are recorded, including the date and time of the call, the number, the dial-in number, and the duration of the call. Call data is subject to telecommunications secrecy and the strict provisions of the German Telecommunications Act (TKG). We use the call details for billing purposes only and to provide the conference room owner/organizer with statistics about their telephone conference in an abridged (anonymized) form. When registering for an audio event, we may also ask you to provide us with registration details by phone or online registration, which we record. As standard, this is your name, company and email address. We collect registration details on behalf of the organizer responsible exclusively. The aforementioned registration details are transferred to the organizer within the framework of fulfilling the contract. We do not process this data ourselves for our own purposes.

WebConference

Participants need to register for the web conference in advance, or they receive an invitation from the organizer directly. The invitation, which is usually sent by email, contains a link for accessing the web conference and an access PIN.

Within the context of providing the web conference, we collect, process, store and use personal information during participation as follows:
Your name and PIN are processed within the context of participating in the web conference. To facilitate the technical provision of the services, we process your IP address, technical information about the end device and browser used, including the version and any plugins installed, technical information for data transmissions, such as access status/HTTP status code, data volume and any technical error codes, as well the date and time when the web conference is used.

When participating in the web conference, you may be given the opportunity to ask the presenter, organiser or other participants questions and make your own contributions in chat sessions or audio transmissions. The time, duration and circumstances of your participation in the respective web conference are recorded. This data is used to allow the initiator of the conference to be billed, allow him to control and manage the event and, if required, safeguard the evaluation of the event afterward. Information about how your data is used is available from the initiator of the web conference.

Customer Portal

Personal registration is required to use the meetyoo customer portal. To register, the user uses his email address for his username and selects a personal password. To activate his conference rooms in the customer portal, the user authorizes himself using a moderator PIN. The customer portal allows our customers to manage their conference rooms, invoices, and conference records/statistics, and control telephone and web conferencing events. While using the customer portal, the server log files are stored along with behavioral data concerning the use of the various portal functions, so that the customer can track the change history (e.g. address changes) during later customer inquiries.

Outlook Add-In

To make organising your telephone and web conferences easy, we offer you an Outlook add-in which you can download from the Microsoft Office Library. The Outlook add-in allows you to quickly and easily organise your telephone or web conference from Outlook directly and invite your participants. Predefined conference information, such as invitation text, dial-in numbers and conference PIN are sent together with your meeting request and stored as an appointment in the calendar. Condition for using the app is a meetyoo conference room (https://meetyoo.com/products/business-meeting/) in the tariffs BusinessAudio or BusinessMeeting and access to the meetyoo customer portal (https://portal.meetyoo.de/).

Legal Basis

Processing personal data in the context of using meetyoo services takes place on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR.
In accordance with Art. 6. (1) (b) GDPR, data processing is then allowed when required for fulfilling a contract. If the contractual relationship is concluded with a company, the processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR, whereby our legitimate interest lies in the fulfillment of our contractual obligation and in the provision of our services. We need to process the personal information detailed in this section in order to be able to make meetyoo services available to you in accordance with the contract.

Duration of Data Storage

Connection data from telephone conferences is deleted no later than 6 months after invoicing in accordance with the German Telecommunications Telemedia Privacy Law (TDDDG). We keep records in our system for the contracting party for up to 55 days. After this period, this data is also deleted. Credentials for audio events are deleted 6 months after billing. Registration data is stored for as long as it is necessary for using the service and is deleted on request. The personal data associated with your registration/participation in a webcast, virtual fair or media library, provided by giving feedback or answering questions and responding to and participating in online tests, is deleted no later than 12 months after the on-demand version expires. The standard period of archiving for a webcast is 3 months after the event (depending on the job commissioned by the organiser). Registration data for media library users (collection of webcasts) who have not logged in to the media library for a maximum period of 3 years is deleted automatically when this period expires

Owing to retention periods laid down by the German Tax Code (AO) and Commercial Code (HGB), tax-relevant personal data which is processed in the context of using meetyoo services is stored for up to 10 years after the end of a specific conference (e.g. orders, offer forms etc.).

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics if you have given the necessary consent via our Consent Manager. Google Analytics is a web analytics service from Google LLC ("Google"), 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland is responsible for the European region.

Google Analytics uses several "cookies" (see above) to identify your browser. The information on how you use meetyoo websites generated by the cookies is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, we have enabled the IP anonymisation function on this website so that your IP address is truncated by Google, if it is located within the member states of the European Union or other parties to the agreement on the European Economic Area. Google uses this information on behalf of the operator of our website to evaluate how you use meetyoo websites in order to compile reports on website activity to provide the website operator with website and internet-related services. As a part of the Google Analytics service, the IP address transferred by your browser is not merged with other data from Google.

Google Tag Manager

We use Google Tag Manager. Google Tag Manager is a tool from Google LLC ("Google"), 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland is responsible for the European region. Google Tag Manager is a solution that marketers use to be able to manage web page tags from a single interface. The Tag Manager tool itself (which implements the tags) is a cookie-free domain. The tool serves for triggering other tags that, in themselves, may collect data in certain circumstances. Google Tag Manager does not access this data. Google Tag Manager itself does not process personal data. If disabled at domain or cookie level, it remains in effect for all tracking tags implemented with Google Tag Manager. Turning off tracking in your browser prevents Google Tag Manager from functioning in full.

We use HubSpot, a service from HubSpot Inc., for analysis purposes. HubSpot is a US-based software house with a presence in Ireland. HubSpot uses what are referred to as "Cookies", which are stored on your computer, and allow your use of the website to be analysed. HubSpot analyses the information collected (e.g. IP address, geographic location, browser type, duration of visit and pages accessed) on our behalf to generate reports about your visit.

10. Advertising

Google Ads Conversion Tracking

If you have given the necessary consent via our Consent Manager, we use Google Ads Conversion Tracking. Google AdWords Conversion Tracking is an analytics service from Google LLC ("Google"), 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland is responsible for the European region.

Google Ads sets a cookie on your computer ('conversion cookie') if you arrive at our website over a Google ad. These cookies lose their validity after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. If you visit certain pages on our websites and the cookie has not yet expired, both we and Google can recognize that someone clicked on the ad and was therefore redirected to our website. Each Ads customer receives a different cookie. This means that said cookies cannot be tracked through the Ads' customers' websites. The information gathered using the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for Ads advertisers who have opted for conversion tracking. Ads customers are informed of the total number of users who have clicked on their ad and were redirected to a conversion tracking tag page. They do not receive any information that personally identifies users, however.

Google-Marketing-Plattform-Produkte

If you have given the necessary consent via our Consent Manager, we use Google Marketing Platform products (e.g. Campaign Manager 360, Display and Video 360, Search Ads 360). These are web services from Google LLC ("Google"), 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland is responsible for the European region.

In this process, the advertising is optimised with the help of a cookie, e.g. by displaying advertising relevant to the user, etc. This is carried out by sending corresponding cookies to your browser, which can be used to check which ads were shown and which ads you viewed. Information that results from the use of the cookie is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. The data is only transferred to third parties if Google is required to do so by law, or if there is a data processing agreement between the third party and Google. The data assets that Google collects about you are not merged with other data.

In accordance with Art. 28 GDPR, we have concluded an agreement on order processing including the EU standard contract clauses with Google Ireland Limited on advertising products.

Microsoft Advertising

If you have given the necessary consent via our Consent Manager, we use the technologies of Microsoft Advertising (https://ads.microsoft.com/), which are provided and operated by Microsoft Corporation, One Microsoft Way, Redmond, WA 98052-6399, USA (Microsoft). Microsoft will set a cookie on your terminal device if you have reached our website via a Microsoft Bing Ad. We, along with Microsoft, can then determine that someone has clicked on our ad, has been directed to our website, and has reached a predetermined target page (conversion site). We only learn about the total number of users that clicked on the Bing Ad and were then directed to the conversion site. Microsoft collects, processes and uses information about the cookie from which user profiles are created using pseudonyms.

Microsoft Clarity

If you have given the necessary consent via our Consent Manager, we use Microsoft Clarity. "Microsoft Clarity" is a Microsoft procedure that enables user analysis on the basis of a pseudonymous user ID and thus on the basis of pseudonymous data, such as the evaluation of data on mouse movements. In particular, we process usage data (e.g. websites visited, interest in content, access times), meta/communication data (e.g. device information, IP addresses), location data, movement data (mouse movements, scroll movements) in pseudonymised form. We have made the corresponding settings in such a way that the data collection to and by Microsoft alone is pseudonymised, in particular in the form of IP masking (pseudonymisation of the IP address).The purpose of the processing is tracking, e.g. the use of cookies, remarketing and conversion measurements.

Microsoft Advertising If you have given the necessary consent via our Consent Manager, we use the Facebook Customer Audience service and the Facebook Pixel on our websites to optimise our advertising offer, provided that you have given Facebook the appropriate consent. Further information about these Facebook services and the privacy policy of Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland ("Facebook") can be accessed here. If you use a Facebook user account, the Facebook cookies used to transfer the user data collected to Facebook for analysis and marketing purposes can recognize the Facebook pixel on our website. You can review and/or disable the collection of this data and its further processing and use by Facebook directly on Facebook. The Facebook pixel is a JavaScript code that transfers the following data to Facebook:

HTTP header information (including IP address, information about your web browser, page storage location, document, URL of the website visited and the web browser user agent as well as the day and time of use)
Pixel-specific data; this includes the Pixel ID and Facebook cookie data, including your Facebook ID (this data is used to link events to a specific Facebook advertising account and assign them to a Facebook user)
Additional information about the visit to our website, as well as standard and user-defined data events.
Orders placed (purchases made)
Conclusion of registrations and trial subscriptions
Products searched for; access to product information

The data processing mentioned above only affects users who have a Facebook account or have accessed a Facebook partner page (meaning that a cookie has been set). The display of advertising on Facebook (partner) pages using the "Customer Audience" service does not impact upon users who are not Facebook members. If the Facebook ID contained in the Facebook cookie can be assigned to a Facebook user, Facebook will assign this user to a target group ("Custom Audience") based on the rules we have defined, provided that the rules apply. We use the information received in this way for presenting Facebook (partner) pages. You can set an opt-out cookie on Facebook or disable JavaScript in your browser If you want to object to the use of Facebook Pixel. For more information and the setting options for protecting your privacy for advertising purposes, please refer to the privacy policy from Facebook.

11. Social Media

If you have given the necessary consent via our Consent Manager, we use components of the LinkedIn network on our site. LinkedIn is a service from LinkedIn Corporation, 2029 Stierlin Court, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Every time you call up one of our web pages that is equipped with said components, they cause your browser to download a corresponding image of the components from LINKEDIN. This process informs LinkedIn about which specific page on our website is currently being visited. You can link the contents of our pages to your LinkedIn profile by clicking on the LinkedIn "Recommend" button while you are logged into your LinkedIn account. This allows LinkedIn to associate your visit to our website with your LinkedIn user account. We have no control over the information, or the extent of the information, collected by LinkedIn. We also have no knowledge of the content of the data submitted to LinkedIn. Details about data collection by LinkedIn and your rights and settings options can be sourced from the LinkedIn Privacy Policy.
