It is our intent to consistently apply those standards to all our users globally.

Our plan and the ongoing, and partly completed, work to assess and act upon the implications of the regulation for the Management Kits systems and routines, includes the following elements, among others:

  • Embrace privacy by design by deactivating and removing website analytics services that have been redundant or were not used by the Management Kits team to improve the user experience of our Kits and Content (completed)
  • Embrace privacy by consent by updating the cookie notification for users of our website properties and link to this privacy policy on all properties used by Management Kits (completed)
  • Design a fully compliant, opt-in based sign-up process to our newsletter e-mailing list in connection with registering for the Management Kits platform at http://kits.managementkits.com/ (in progress)
  • Suspend automatic sign-up to our newsletter e-mailing list as part of registering with the Management Kits platform at http://kits.managementkits.com/ (completed)
  • Conduct and document a system analysis with regard to personalized data and create a complete and detailed inventory of personalized data collected by systems required by Management Kits to provide its services (in progress)
  • Establish communication channels and routines to honor all requests from individual users of Management Kits to administer their rights under the above-mentioned regulations (in progress)
  • Collect the formal confirmation by all partners and system providers of Management Kits that they fully comply with the above-mentioned regulations in providing their services and commit to executing upon according requests by Management Kits (in progress)
  • Adapt and develop the Management Kits Terms of Use and Privacy Policy to reflect the ongoing work as laid out above, and notify users accordingly (in progress)

Management Innovation Services GmbH 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. When we receive your Personal Data from a Management Innovation Services GmbH Client with whom you have registered, we may use that Personal Data in order to contact you on behalf of that Management Innovation Services GmbH Client (via email or otherwise). Management Innovation Services GmbH and its affiliates also use 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 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.

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.
