Information Collection and Use Practices
Personal Data
We collect personally identifiable information ("Personal Data") from you when you voluntarily choose to provide Personal Data. We use the Personal Data that we collect in order to provide and improve our services. Examples of Personal Data we collect include first name, last name, email address, and information about your organisation which you chose to provide us when signing up for a free online meeting.
Use of Personal Data
Raymond Hofmann Management uses the Personal Data you provide in a manner that is consistent with this Privacy Policy. If you provide Personal Data for a certain reason, we may use the Personal Data only in connection with the reason for which it was provided - except where you also specifically consented to other uses, such as sending marketing emails. Raymond Hofmann Management also uses your Personal Data and other non-personally-identifiable information collected through the Website to help us improve the content and functionality of the Website, to better understand the users of our Website, and to improve our services.
Aggregated Personal Data
In an ongoing effort to better understand our users, we may analyze the Personal Data that is provided to the Website in aggregate form. This aggregate information does not identify you personally. We may share this aggregate data with our affiliates, agents and business partners. We may also disclose aggregated user statistics in order to describe our services to current and prospective business partners, and to other third parties for other lawful purposes.
Passively Collected Information
When you interact with us through the Website, we receive and store certain additional non- personally-identifiable information. For example, we automatically receive and record information on our server logs from your browser including your IP address, browser type and language, referring/exit pages and URLs, other browser history, platform type, number of clicks, landing pages, cookie information, the pages you requested and viewed, the amount of time spent on particular pages, and the date and time. We only use this data in aggregate form, that is, as a statistical measure, and not in a manner that would identify you personally. This type of aggregate data enables us to figure out how often users use parts of the Website or Services so that we can make the Website appealing to as many users as possible, and improve our Services. As part of this use of information, we may provide aggregate information to our partners about how our users, collectively, use the Website. We share this type of statistical data so that our partners also understand how often people use their services and the Website, so that they, too, may provide you with an optimal online experience.
As an example: we use Google Analytics to collect and review this information and to connect with Google Analytics Advertising Features. This allows us to better inform and target relevant groups.
Information collected by Google Analytics will only be merged with your personal data only if we get your prior consent to do so.
Google Analytics offers you to opt out of the data collection here. It is also possible to stop this data collection and information sending in your browsers settings.

EU users
​
On 25 May 2018 a new European privacy law, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), comes into force. It imposes new rules on companies, government agencies, non-profits, and other organizations which offer goods and services to EU individuals or which collect and analyze their data. The GDPR applies no matter where the data is processed and where the organization processing data is physically located. It is meant to strengthen users rights in light of fast technological developments and increased globalization of business operations involving any form of processing personal data.
The GDPR regulates the “processing” of personal data for EU individuals, which includes collection, storage, transfer, or use. The term “personal data” is very broad under new regulation and extends to any information relating to an identified or identifiable individual (a “data subject”).
The GDPR also expands the concept of sensitive data (personal data revealing: racial/ethnic origin, political/religious etc views, trade union membership, health, sex life and sexual orientation, genetic and biometric data).
Raymond Hofmann Management can assure its users that it does not process any of such sensitive data.
Raymond Hofmann Management is committed to comply with EU data protection regulation and provides its EU users with a number of important assurances, such as the following:
-
We will keep Your data within Raymond Hofmann Management except where disclosure is required by law, for example to government bodies and law enforcement agencies.
-
Raymond Hofmann Management will process Your data only in accordance with legitimate purpose, i.e. to provide and improve our services. Raymond Hofmann Management follows Your instructions regarding storage and processing of Your data. Importantly, the consent given by You to be provided with information about a variety of products and services Raymond Hofmann Management offers can be withdrawn at any time.
-
Raymond Hofmann Management users have the “right to be forgotten”, which means the right to require that Raymond Hofmann Management erases personal data about You in certain conditions, including if the personal data is no longer necessary for the original purpose of the processing or if the data subject withdraws consent for the processing.
-
You will now also have the right, in certain circumstances, to receive the personal data that you have provided to Raymond Hofmann Management in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format.
-
Raymond Hofmann Management has and will maintain technical and organizational measures to ensure security of Your data.
-
Raymond Hofmann Management will notify You of a security incident without undue delay after becoming aware of the security incident.
