HubSpot is subject to TRUSTe&#8217;s Privacy Seal and the U.S.\u2013EU Safe Harbor Framework and the U.S.\u2013Swiss Safe Harbor Framework.  <\/p>\n<p>HubSpot has responded to the ruling of the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU), which declared the Privacy Shield agreement between the EU and the USA invalid on July 16, 2020. At the same time, the CJEU confirmed that the standard contractual clauses under Directive 95\/46\/EC continue to be valid as a mechanism for secure data transfer to third countries.

However, we do not send this file without the express and explicit consent of our users. When registering to receive professional information or to register in the software, this consent is NOT given; consequently, the above-mentioned information is not collected.  <\/p>\n<p>If consent has been given, technical information such as browser and system information, as well as the IP address and time of retrieval, is initially collected as part of this retrieval. This information is used to technically improve services based on technical data or target groups and their reading behavior based on their retrieval locations (which can be determined using the IP address) or access times. <\/p>\n<p>Standard statistical collections as part of registration and downloads include determining whether newsletters are opened and when they are opened.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-separator fusion-full-width-sep\" style=\"align-self: center;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;width:100%;\"><div class=\"fusion-separator-border sep-single sep-solid\" style=\"--awb-height:20px;--awb-amount:20px;--awb-sep-color:#8c8c8c;border-color:#8c8c8c;border-top-width:1px;\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-24 fusion-sep-none fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-three\" style=\"--awb-margin-top-small:0px;--awb-margin-right-small:0px;--awb-margin-bottom-small:20px;--awb-margin-left-small:0px;\"><h3 class=\"fusion-title-heading title-heading-left fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" style=\"margin:0;--fontSize:20;--minFontSize:20;line-height:1.67;\"><\/h3><\/div><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-25 fusion-sep-none fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-three\" style=\"--awb-margin-top-small:0px;--awb-margin-right-small:0px;--awb-margin-bottom-small:20px;--awb-margin-left-small:0px;\"><h3 class=\"fusion-title-heading title-heading-left fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" style=\"font-family:&quot;Poppins&quot;;font-style:normal;font-weight:600;margin:0;--fontSize:20;--minFontSize:20;line-height:1.67;\">9. Final Remarks<\/h3><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-25\"><h3><strong>SSL or TLS Encryption<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries that users send to us as site operators, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. Users can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the browser&#8217;s address line changes from &#8220;http:\/\/&#8221; to &#8220;https:\/\/&#8221; and by the lock symbol in the browser line. When SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data that users transmit to us cannot be read by third parties. For the sake of form, we point out that data transmission on the internet (e.g., when communicating by email) may have security gaps. Complete protection of data from access by third parties is not possible.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-8 fusion-flex-container has-pattern-background has-mask-background nonhundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling\" style=\"--awb-border-radius-top-left:0px;--awb-border-radius-top-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-left:0px;--awb-padding-bottom:40px;--awb-margin-bottom:-60px;--awb-background-color:var(--awb-custom_color_3);--awb-flex-wrap:wrap;\" ><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-row fusion-flex-align-items-flex-start fusion-flex-content-wrap\" style=\"max-width:1216.8px;margin-left: calc(-4% \/ 2 );margin-right: calc(-4% \/ 2 );\"><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-8 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-flex-column\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-width-large:100%;--awb-margin-top-large:0px;--awb-spacing-right-large:1.92%;--awb-margin-bottom-large:20px;--awb-spacing-left-large:1.92%;--awb-width-medium:100%;--awb-order-medium:0;--awb-spacing-right-medium:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-medium:1.92%;--awb-width-small:100%;--awb-order-small:0;--awb-spacing-right-small:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-small:1.92%;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-column-has-shadow fusion-flex-justify-content-flex-start fusion-content-layout-column\"><div id=\"cookiefirst-policy-page\"><\/div>\n  <div>This cookie policy was created and updated by <a href=\"https:\/\/cookiefirst.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CookieFirst.com<\/a>.<\/div>\n  <div id=\"cookiefirst-cookies-table\"><\/div>\n  <div>This cookie table was created and updated by the <a href=\"https:\/\/cookiefirst.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CookieFirst consent management platform<\/a>.<\/div>\n  <\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"100-width.php","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1452","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dicisgroup.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1452","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dicisgroup.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dicisgroup.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dicisgroup.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dicisgroup.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1452"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.dicisgroup.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1452\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1454,"href":"https:\/\/www.dicisgroup.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1452\/revisions\/1454"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dicisgroup.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1452"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
