The scope, type of collection and use of your data differs depending on whether you visit our website only to retrieve information or whether you use offers on our website that require you to provide further data about you, e.g. when making an appointment or ordering a ticket for an event:

a. Informational use

For informational use of our website only, it is generally not necessary for you to provide personal data.

  • date and time of retrieval of one of our websites,

  • browser type,

  • the browser settings,

  • the operating system used,

  • the page you last visited,

  • the amount of data transferred and the access status (file transferred, file not found, etc.) and

  • Your IP address.

During an informational visit, we process this data exclusively in non-personal form. This is done to make it possible to use the websites you have accessed at all and to be able to check whether our websites are displayed optimally to you. The processing is carried out on the legal basis of Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR and in our interest to be able to display our website to you reliably and as smoothly as possible.
‍We store the IP address, as well as the other data resulting from informational use, for four weeks; no personal evaluation takes place, there are only statistical evaluations of website usage, as described in this privacy policy below.

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.

If you any concern about your personal data, please feel free to contact us via this form.

c. LinkedIn Insight Tag

Our website uses the “LinkedIn Insight Tag” conversion tool from LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Plaza, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland (hereinafter LinkedIn) in cooperation with the parent company LinkedIn Corporation, 1000 W.

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.
