When you use Sankey Flow Show services, you trust us with your information. This Privacy Policy applies to information we collect when you use our websites, online applications and other online services (collectively, the "Services"). It describes what data we collect, why we collect it, what we do with it, and what choices we offer. This is important; please take time to read it carefully.
Responsible for the protection of your personal data and for compliance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is the THORTEC Software GmbH in DE-71394 Kernen. Further contact details, contact persons and mandatory information on THORTEC Software GmbH can be found in the imprint.
We may change the provisions of this Policy from time to time. With the date at the top of this Policy we will indicate when changes have been made. By visiting the Sankey Flow Show website, submitting information or using any of our products or services, you are accepting the practices outlined in this Privacy Policy. If we make material changes to this policy, we will provide you with additional notice of such changes and request your affirmative consent before using or sharing previously collected information in a materially different way.
What information is collected?

  • otherwise communicate with us through the Services.

The types of personal information that you provide may include your name, e-mail address, postal address, credit card information, and other contact or identifying information that you choose to provide.

In order to provide the service to you, we collect content information. Sankey Flow Show stores, processes and maintains files that you create and/or upload using the Services (as well as previous revisions of your files). This includes diagrams, share lists and other data related to your account.

Information we get from your use of our services

We continuously improve our services. Therefore Sankey Flow Show servers automatically record certain information about your use of the Services. Sankey Flow Show may collect automated error reports in the case of software malfunction; such error reports may contain some or all of the information in your documents and may be reviewed to help resolve problems with the Sankey Flow Show software or service.

Generally, our service may automatically collect usage information, such as the numbers and frequency of visitors to our website and its components. This data is only used in the aggregate, that is, as a statistical measure, and not in a manner that would identify you personally. This type of collective data enables us to figure out how often users use parts of the website, so we can make the website appealing to as many users as possible.

Our main source of information about our users needs is the feedback explicitly entered in the feedback form. We encourage you to provide us with some information about your use cases in order to improve the services. Additionally we use various technologies to collect and store information when you visit a Sankey Flow Show service, and this may include using cookies or similar technologies to identify your browser or device. We reduced the use of cookies to a minimum. Sankey Flow Show cookies do not collect personal information, and we do not combine information collected through cookies with other personal information to tell us who you are or what your email address is.

Sankey Flow Show stores information locally on your device using mechanisms such as browser web storage (including HTML 5) and application data caches. This information remains on your local computer and is not transferred to our servers in any way.
