Privacy policy

1. data protection at a glance

General information

The following information provides a simple overview of what happens to your personal data when you use this website, our application or our Office Add-In. Personal data is any data that can be used to identify you personally. For detailed information on the subject of data protection, please refer to our data protection declaration listed below this text.

Data collection on this website, in the application and in the Office Add-In

Who is responsible for data collection?

Data processing on this website, in our application and in the Office Add-In is carried out by the platform operator. You can find the contact details in the section “Information on the controller”.

How do we collect your data?

On the one hand, your data is collected when you provide it to us. This is done, for example, by creating a user account in our application or by uploading content.

Other data is collected automatically or with your consent when you visit the website or use the application. This is technical data (e.g. B. browser, operating system or time of access). The Office Add-In itself does not carry out any tracking, except for error analysis.

What do we use your data for?

Some of the data is collected to ensure the error-free provision of the website, the application and the add-in. Other data may – with your consent – be used to analyze your usage behavior or to improve our services.

What rights do you have with regard to your data?

You have the right to receive information about the origin, recipient and purpose of your stored personal data free of charge at any time. You can also request rectification, erasure or restriction of processing or withdraw your consent. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority.

Analysis tools and tools from third-party providers

When you visit the website, your surfing behavior and certain usage actions may be evaluated – in particular for analysis and advertising purposes. The application and the add-in do not use any tracking systems, except in the case of errors (e.g. Sentry) and – with your consent – to measure conversion events.

Detailed information on the tools used can be found in the following chapters.

2. hosting and content delivery networks (CDN)

External hosting

This website, the application and the Office add-in are hosted on a Microsoft Azure VM in the Germany West Central region. All data (web server, databases, user content, services) are located within this region.

The personal data collected on this website or in the application is stored on Azure servers. This includes IP addresses, contact requests, meta and communication data, contract data, contact details, names, website and app access and content created or uploaded within the application.

The host is used for the purpose of contract fulfillment (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR) and in the interest of a secure, fast and efficient provision of our online offer (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR).

Azure only processes your data in accordance with our instructions.

Conclusion of a contract for order processing

We have concluded an order processing contract with Microsoft.

3. general notes and mandatory information

Data protection

The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy.

When you use our website, the application or the Office Add-In, various personal data is collected. This privacy policy explains what data we collect and what we use it for.

Note on the responsible body

The responsible body is:

slideroom GmbH
Gewerbepark Cité 4
76532 Baden-Baden

Phone: +(49) 7221 4037633
E-mail: info@slideroom.ai

Storage duration

Your data will remain stored as long as your user account or your organization exists or the purpose of the data processing continues. Deletion can currently be carried out via a request to our support.

Consent management (Consent)

We use a central consent management system for our website and the application. Consent to the use of technically unnecessary cookies and to marketing and analysis measures is initially stored anonymously and later assigned to the respective user if a user account is created.

The consents are managed via an anonymous ID in the browser. When a user registers or logs in, this ID is linked to the user account so that the previously granted consents are adopted for the application. The application and the Office Add-In use the most recently saved consents (e.g. “technically necessary”, “analytics”, “marketing”) as the basis for processing.

You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future. For this purpose, we provide corresponding setting options in the consent banner or in the application.

Note on data transfer to the USA and other third countries

Some services, such as Google and Aspose Cloud, may transfer data to third countries. The USA is not considered a safe third country. Further details on each service can be found in the respective sections.

Revocation of your consent

You can withdraw your consent at any time. Processing carried out before the withdrawal remains lawful.

Right to object to the collection of data in special cases and to direct marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)

IF THE DATA PROCESSING IS BASED ON ART. 6 ABS. 1 LIT. E OR F GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA AT ANY TIME ON GROUNDS RELATING TO YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. THE RESPECTIVE LEGAL BASIS ON WHICH PROCESSING IS BASED CAN BE FOUND IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA CONCERNED UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING WHICH OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS OR THE PROCESSING SERVES THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE OR DEFENSE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21 PARA. 1 GDPR).

IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA ARE PROCESSED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT MARKETING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA CONCERNING YOU FOR THE PURPOSE OF SUCH MARKETING; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING TO THE EXTENT THAT IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL SUBSEQUENTLY NO LONGER BE USED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT MARKETING (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21 PARA. 2 GDPR).

Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority

In the event of breaches of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement. The right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to data portability

You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only take place if it is technically feasible.

SSL or TLS encryption

This site uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries that you send to us as the site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser line.

If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Information, deletion and correction

Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right to free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipient and the purpose of the data processing and, if necessary, a right to correction or deletion of this data at any time. You can contact us at any time if you have further questions on the subject of personal data.

Right to restriction of processing

You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time to do this. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:

  • If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we generally need time to check this. You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data for the duration of the review.
  • If the processing of your personal data was/is carried out unlawfully, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of erasure.
  • If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it for the exercise, defense or assertion of legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of deletion.
  • If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data – apart from its storage – may only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or of a Member State.

4. data collection on this website

Cookies

Our Internet pages use so-called “cookies”. Cookies are small text files and do not cause any damage to your end device. They are stored on your device either temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (permanent cookies). Session cookies are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Permanent cookies remain stored on your end device until you delete them yourself or they are automatically deleted by your web browser.

In some cases, cookies from third-party companies may also be stored on your device when you visit our website (third-party cookies). These enable us or you to use certain services of the third-party company (e.g. cookies for processing payment services).

Cookies have various functions. Many cookies are technically necessary, as certain website functions would not work without them (e.g. the shopping cart function or the display of videos). Other cookies are used to evaluate user behavior or display advertising.

Cookies that are required to carry out the electronic communication process (necessary cookies) or to provide certain functions that you have requested (functional cookies, e.g. for the shopping cart function) or to optimize the website (e.g. cookies to measure the web audience) are stored on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the storage of cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. If consent to the storage of cookies has been requested, the cookies in question are stored exclusively on the basis of this consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR); consent can be revoked at any time.

You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. If cookies are deactivated, the functionality of this website may be restricted.

If cookies are used by third-party companies or for analysis purposes, we will inform you about this separately in this privacy policy and, if necessary, request your consent.

Server log files

The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are

  • Browser type and browser version
  • Operating system used
  • Referrer URL
  • Host name of the accessing computer
  • Time of the server request
  • IP address

This data is not merged with other data sources.

This data is collected on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimization of its website – the server log files must be recorded for this purpose.

Contact form

If you send us inquiries via the contact form, your details from the inquiry form, including the contact details you provide there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in the event of follow-up questions. We will not pass on this data without your consent.

This data is processed on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR if your request is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of the inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR) if this has been requested.

We will retain the data you provide on the contact form until you request its deletion, revoke your consent for its storage, or the purpose for its storage no longer pertains (e.g. after fulfilling your request). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.

Request by e-mail, telephone or fax

If you contact us by e-mail, telephone or fax, we will store and process your inquiry, including all personal data (name, inquiry), for the purpose of processing your request. We will not pass on this data without your consent.

This data is processed on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR if your request is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of the inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR) if this has been requested.

The data you send to us via contact requests will remain with us until you ask us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular statutory retention periods – remain unaffected.

5. analysis tools and advertising

Google Analytics

This website uses the web analysis service Google Analytics. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

Google Analytics uses technologies such as cookies or device fingerprinting, which enable your use of the website to be analyzed. The information collected about your use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

We have activated IP anonymization on this website. This means that your IP address will be shortened by Google within the member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area before being transmitted to the USA. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there.

Google will use this information on behalf of the operator of this website for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage to the website operator.

The data collected by Google Analytics is not merged with other Google services.

The use of Google Analytics is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the analysis of user behavior in order to optimize both its website and its advertising. If a corresponding consent has been requested (e.g. consent to the storage of cookies), the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR; the consent can be revoked at any time.

Data transfer to third countries

Data may be transferred to the USA and processed there. We would like to point out that the USA is not a safe third country within the meaning of EU data protection law. US companies are obliged to disclose personal data to security authorities without you as the data subject being able to take legal action against this. It can therefore not be ruled out that US authorities (e.g. secret services) may process, evaluate and permanently store your data on US servers for surveillance purposes. We have no influence on these processing activities.

The transfer to the USA takes place on the basis of the Standard Contractual Clauses (SCC) approved by the EU Commission. Details can be found here:
https://privacy.google.com/businesses/compliance/

Order processing

We have concluded an order processing contract with Google and fully implement the strict requirements of the German data protection authorities when using Google Analytics.

Storage duration

Data stored by Google that is linked to cookies, user identifiers (e.g. user ID) or advertising IDs is automatically anonymized or deleted after 12 months. You can read the exact storage period here.

We also use Google Analytics and Google Ads to measure so-called conversions.
This records whether a user who has reached our website via a Google Ads advertisement
subsequently registers in our application. This processing only takes place if you have consented to the
use of marketing and analysis cookies.

6. plugins and tools

YouTube with enhanced data protection

This website integrates videos from YouTube. The operator of the pages is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

We use YouTube in extended data protection mode. According to YouTube, this mode means that YouTube does not store any information about visitors to this website before they watch the video. However, the transfer of data to YouTube partners is not necessarily excluded by the extended data protection mode. For example, YouTube establishes a connection to the Google DoubleClick network regardless of whether you watch a video.

As soon as you start a YouTube video on this website, a connection to the YouTube servers is established. This tells the YouTube server which of our pages you have visited. If you are logged into your YouTube account, you enable YouTube to assign your surfing behavior directly to your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.

Furthermore, YouTube may store various cookies on your end device after starting a video or use comparable recognition technologies (e.g. device fingerprinting). In this way, YouTube can obtain information about visitors to this website. This information is used, among other things, to record video statistics, improve user-friendliness and prevent fraud attempts.

After the start of a YouTube video, further data processing operations may be triggered over which we have no influence.

The use of YouTube is in the interest of an appealing presentation of our online offers. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. If a corresponding consent has been requested, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR; the consent can be revoked at any time.

Further information about data protection at YouTube can be found in their privacy policy at: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de.

Google Web Fonts (local hosting)

This site uses so-called web fonts provided by Google for the uniform display of fonts. The Google fonts are installed locally. There is no connection to Google servers.

Further information about Google Web Fonts can be found at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and in Google’s privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de.

Google reCAPTCHA

We use “Google reCAPTCHA” (hereinafter “reCAPTCHA”) on this website. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

The purpose of reCAPTCHA is to check whether data is entered on this website (e.g. in a contact form) by a human or by an automated program. For this purpose, reCAPTCHA analyzes the behavior of the website visitor based on various characteristics. This analysis begins automatically as soon as the website visitor enters the website. For the analysis, reCAPTCHA evaluates various information (e.g. IP address, time spent on the website by the website visitor or mouse movements made by the user). The data collected during the analysis is forwarded to Google.

The reCAPTCHA analyses run completely in the background. Website visitors are not informed that an analysis is taking place.

The data is stored and analyzed on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in protecting its website from abusive automated spying and SPAM. If a corresponding consent has been requested, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR; the consent can be revoked at any time.

For more information about Google reCAPTCHA, please refer to the Google Privacy Policy and the Google Terms of Use at the following links: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de and https://policies.google.com/terms?hl=de.

7. use of the application

Our application is intended for registered users and organizations to use the product functions. A user account is required for use.

Registration and login

To register, we collect your first name, surname, email address and organizational affiliation. Login is via email/password and optional 2-factor authentication. Users can also log in via Microsoft Azure Entra ID (SSO).

User content

Users can create, save and edit content such as texts, files and presentations in the application. This content is processed to fulfill the purpose of the contract (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR).

Usage data

We only record basic usage events (e.g. registration) if you have granted marketing/analytics consent. No further tracking takes place.

To measure whether a registration in the application is attributable to a previous visit to our website (e.g. via a Google Ads ad), we use the services described in section “5. Analysis tools and advertising” (Google Analytics and Google Ads), provided you have given your consent. Beyond this, there is no tracking of usage data in the application.

Error analysis (Sentry)

We use Sentry to detect technical errors. Pseudonymized IDs are transmitted, but only if you have agreed to the analytics consent.

8. use of the Office Add-In for Microsoft PowerPoint

Our Office add-in is provided via Microsoft AppSource. Microsoft’s data protection provisions also apply to operation.

Functionality

The add-in runs in the PowerPoint task pane and communicates with our application. No tracking data is collected. Only error analysis is carried out via Sentry.

Access rights

The add-in only accesses presentation content that the user is actively processing. It does not access the camera, microphone, contacts, system files or other local resources.

9. azure sync (organizations)

Organizations can synchronize users via Azure Entra ID. The employee’s name, surname and email address are transferred to our platform.

In this case, the organization is responsible for the data transfer. The data is transferred to our system even if the users concerned have not yet given their own consent.

Deleted or removed Azure users are marked as inactive in the system. The final removal is carried out by the organization admin.

10. AI functions (Azure OpenAI)

We use Azure OpenAI in the Germany West Central region to process presentation content (texts, structures, metadata). Content may contain personal data if it appears in the presentations.

No model training

Data is used exclusively for processing the user request. Azure does not use this data to train its models.

Processing in the chat context

We store prompts to maintain the chat context. Content is not used for analysis or marketing purposes.

Legal basis

The processing is carried out to fulfill the contract (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR).

11th Aspose Cloud

We use the Aspose Cloud API to process PowerPoint files (e.g. conversion, analysis or rendering).

Third country transfer

The Aspose Cloud is operated outside the EU. A transfer of personal data – depending on the content of the presentation – may take place. The transfer takes place on the basis of the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission.

12. payment processing (Stripe)

Organization administrators can purchase plans via Stripe. Stripe Checkout (Hosted) is used for payment processing. Stripe is responsible for its own payment data (credit card, PayPal, billing address).

We only receive meta information about the successful payment.

13. storage and deletion

Data is stored as long as a user or organization is active. Deletion can be requested via our support team.

14 AppSource Note

When using the Office add-in, Microsoft’s data protection provisions also apply: https://privacy.microsoft.com
