  2. You expressly agree that the use of the learning platform as well as the learning platform Materials takes place at your own risk. ASSA ABLOY Sicherheitstechnik GmbH assumes no guarantee that the program functions satisfy the requirements of the users or work together in the selection which they have made. Neither ASSA ABLOY nor the manufacturers or developers of the learning platform is liable for damages arising from the use of the learning platform or its Materials.

The use of the learning platform is voluntary.

Data which you have entered as a user or with your use shall be processed automatically in connection with the use of the learning platform starting from the time of registration. Insofar as this data refers to your person, it is personal data. In this respect, the applicable regulations under data privacy law also apply for the learning platform. These require, in particular, specific information about the scope and manner of the collection of personal data and the type and manner of its further processing.

The learning platform based on the "ILIAS" software basically does not record any additional information beyond that which is specified in the application, collected in part automatically and provided in part by the user. In particular, the times at which users access the various components of the information, knowledge, learning programmes and other training offers are not recorded. By working through individual learning programmes, the test results achieved are saved so that they can be viewed at a later time by the user.

All this data is accessible to ASSA ABLOY in the scope of the administration of the learning platform, but it is not available to other users. It is only transmitted for the execution of this user agreement and the respective training measures and is not transmitted to other persons or places, even in anonymous form.

After the end of the learning platform right of use, all data shall be deleted immediately. ASSA ABLOY hereby points out that the user is solely responsible for safeguarding the data which is relevant for them (e.g. test results).

With registration and use of the learning platform, you grant your consent to the data collection and use referred to in this explanation. This consent can be revoked at any time by means of a corresponding declaration to ASSA ABLOY. You can also demand information about the data which has been collected and processed at any time and, if applicable, to the correction or deletion thereof.
