The use of the app and the functionalities offered on it are also basically possible without providing your personal data.

When using the YouTube upload function

You can optionally upload your videos to YouTube and log into your YouTube account right from within the app. To this end the app uses the YouTube API Services. By using the YouTube upload function you agree to be bound by YouTube’s Terms of Service at https://www.youtube.com/t/terms.

At no point does Synium store your login information or your activity
Synium does neither know what you upload, nor how frequently you use the YouTube upload feature
Synium does not access any personal information stored in your account
The YouTube API is only used to upload videos and for no other purpose
Videos are only upload when you manually click the YouTube Upload to/share button

You can revoke access to your YouTube account by logging out of YouTube within the app or via the Google security settings page at https://security.google.com/settings/security/permissions.

When registering for our newsletter

In so far as you have given consent under Art. 6 Subs. 1 Sentence 1 lit. a GDPR, we will use your email address to regularly send you our personalised newsletter. Providing an email address is sufficient for receiving the newsletter. Voluntary you can also tell us your name and country. We use this information to individualize the newsletter.

Cancellation is possible at any time, e.g. via a link at the end of every newsletter. Alternatively, you can cancel at any time by sending an email to info@syniumsoftware.com. After your cancellation your voluntary information will be deleted. To ensure that you will not receive any further emails from us, we will only continue to store your email address for further X months in a so-called blacklist.

Transfer of data to third parties (Litmus)

For the newsletter shipping we use the email analysis tool Litmus from Litmus Software Inc. (675 Massachusetts Ave., 10th Floor, Cambridge, MA 02139), based in the United States.

On the basis of Art. 6 Subs. 1 Sentence 1 lit. f GDPR we want to use the tracking measures described below to ensure an appropriate design and the ongoing optimization of our newsletter, as well as their use to be statistically recorded and evaluated for the purpose of optimizing our offer for you. These interests are to be regarded as justified within the meaning of the aforementioned regulation. Litmus will create statistical information on our behalf in connection with our e-mail transmissions and evaluate it for us. This allows us to determine if there are any problems with our newsletter and the links included. In addition, we have the opportunity to determine which content in our mailings are of particular interest. This enables us to make our mailings more interesting for our recipients. For this purpose, images or tracking pixels (see section 4) are embedded in our e-mails, which we can use to track the opening rates or to find out which e-mail clients are being used.

Litmus creates pseudonymous user profiles. Under no circumstances the information that we collect, in connection with the retrieval of an e-mail, will be assigned to a specific recipient.

If you do not want this, please send us an e-mail to info@syniumsoftware.com. We will then ensure that mailings to you are no longer recorded by Litmus.

Pixel-Tags

Pixels, also known as tracking pixels, are small 1×1 pixel sized GIF-files, that can be installed e.g. in graphics when visiting a website or in emails etc. Pixels do not harm your device, do not contain viruses, Trojans or other malicious software. The pixels send your IP address, the referrer URL of the visited website, the time the pixel was viewed, the browser used, and previously set cookie information to a web server. This makes it possible for us to carry out range measurements and other statistical evaluations which serve to optimize our newsletter.

Most browsers accept pixels automatically. You can use appropriate tools or browser add-ons to stop the use of pixels on our sites (for example, with the add-on “AdBlock” for the Safari browser).

Data subject rights

You have the right:

pursuant to Art. 7 Subs. 3 GDPR to withdraw your consent to us at any time. This means that we may no longer continue processing the data based on that consent for the future;
pursuant to Art. 15 GDPR to demand information about your personal data we process. In particular, you can demand information about the purposes of the processing, the category of the personal data, the categories of recipients to whom your data were or will be disclosed, the planned storage period, the existence of a right to rectification, deletion, restriction or revocation of processing, the existence of a right to lodge a complaint, the origin of your data, in so far as not collected by us, and also about the existence of automated decision-making including profiling and, where appropriate, meaningful information about details thereof;
pursuant to Art. 16 GDPR to demand immediate rectification of inaccurate or completion of your personal data saved with us;
pursuant to Art. 17 GDPR to demand deletion of your personal data saved with us, in so far as the processing is not required for exercising the right of freedom of expression and information, to comply with a legal obligation, for reasons of public interest or to establish, exercise or defend legal claims;
pursuant to Art. 18 GDPR to demand restriction of processing of your personal data, in so far as you contest the accuracy of the data, the processing is unlawful but you oppose deletion and we no longer need the data but you do to establish, exercise or defend legal claims or you have objected to processing pursuant to Art. 21 GDPR;
pursuant to Art. 77 GDPR to lodge a complaint to a supervisory authority. As a rule, you can contact the supervisory authority for your habitual residence or place of work or our registered offices.

Right to object pursuant to Art. 21 GDPR

You have the right at any time, for reasons arising out of your particular situation, to prevent the processing of personal data concerning you pursuant to Art. 6 Subs. 1 Sentence 1 lit. e (Data Processing in the Public Interest) and Art. 6 Subs. 1 Sentence 1 lit. f GDPR (Data processing on the basis of legitimate interests). This also applies to profiling based on those provisions as defined in Art. 4 no 4 GDPR.

If you submit an objection we shall no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms or the processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

If your objection is to the processing of data for direct marketing purposes, we shall cease processing immediately. In this case it is not necessary for you to assert a particular situation. This also applies to profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing.

If you want to exercise your right to object, simply send an email to info@syniumsoftware.com.

Data Security

All personal data transmitted by you will be transferred encrypted using the customary and secure TLS standard (Transport Layer Security). TLS is a secure and proven standard, which e.g. is also used in online banking. You can recognise a secure TLS connection inter alia by the “s” appended to the http (i.e. https://..) in the address bar of your browser or by the lock icon at the bottom of your browser.

We also take appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your data against accidental or intentional manipulation, partial or complete loss, destruction or against unauthorised access by third parties. Our security measures are continuously monitored and improved in line with technological developments.
