The scope, type of collection and utilization of your data vary according to whether you visit our website only to fetch information, or whether you make use of our website's offers which require further data about you, e.g. when arranging an appointment or ordering a ticket for an event:
a. Use for information

In this case, we just collect and utilize those data of yours which are sent automatically to us by your Internet browser, such as:
Date and time of invoking our web pages
Browser type
Browser settings
Your operating system
The web page last visited by you
The transferred amount of data and access status (file transferred, file not found etc.)

Processing takes place on the legal basis of Article 6 Paragraph 1 Clause 1 f) GDPR, and in our interest to display our website to you reliably and with a minimum of disruption.
We store the IP address as well as the remaining data accumulated during use for informative purposes for a period of 4 weeks; personal data are not evaluated, only website usage is analyzed statistically as described further below in this data privacy policy.
b. Newsletter
With your consent, you can subscribe to our newsletter which informs you about our current interesting offers. The advertised goods and services are mentioned in the declaration of consent, and usually encompass all the content related to b.telligent's performance and product portfolio, as well as updates from the BI world, such as customer relationship management, data warehouse, big data, data science, cloud technologies, etc.
We use a double opt-in procedure for subscriptions to our newsletter: After you register, we send you an e-mail to the specified address, asking you to confirm that you want to receive the newsletter. If you do not confirm your registration within 7 days, your information is automatically deleted. In addition, we store your assigned IP addresses, as well as the times of registration and confirmation. The purpose of this procedure is to be able to prove your registration and, if necessary, investigate potential misuse of your personal data.
Mandatory information for subscription to the newsletter includes your e-mail address, first name, last name, title and company. This information is used to personally address you. After your confirmation, we will store your information for the purpose of dispatching the newsletter. The legal basis for this is Article 6 Paragraph 1 Clause 1 a) GDPR.
You can revoke your consent to dispatch and unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time. You can declare revocation by clicking on the link provided in every e-mailed newsletter, or via e-mail to [marketing@btelligent.com], or through a message to the contact details provided in the legal notice.
Please note that we evaluate your user behaviour when sending the newsletter. For such evaluations, the sent e-mails contain tracking pixels representing single-pixel image files stored at our website. As part of evaluation, we associate the data mentioned in paragraph 3 and the tracking pixels with your e-mail address and an individual ID. With the data obtained in this manner, we create a user profile to tailor the newsletter to your individual interests. In this process, we register the time at which you read our newsletter, as well as the links which you click in it, and use this to infer your personal interests. We associate these data with actions performed by you at our website.
At any time, you can prevent this tracking by disabling the display of images in your e-mail program by default. In this case, the newsletter is not fully displayed, and you might not be able to use all functions. If you manually choose to have the images displayed, the tracking mentioned above is enabled.

c. LinkedIn Insight Tag
Our website uses the LinkedIn Insight Tag conversion tool by LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Plaza, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland (hereinafter LinkedIn) in cooperation with the parent company LinkedIn Corporation, 1000 W. Maude Avenue, Sunnyvale, CA 94085, USA.
This tool creates a cookie in your web browser to allow collection of data such as the following:

We use these data to display targeted advertising, also outside our own website, without you being identified as a website visitor. This way, we are able to provide relevant content for our audiences.

If personal data do provide us with information about user behaviour at our own website, the legal basis for this is our legitimate interest within the meaning of Article 6, Paragraph 1, Clause 1 f) GDPR.
More information about the LinkedIn Insight tag can be found here.
