Privacy Policy

Introduction

EXPAND Global GmbH provides organizations with learning technologies, services, and digital learning content for end‑users of Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Windows.

We take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your data confidentially and in compliance with applicable data‑protection legislation, including the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), as well as this privacy policy.

You may generally use our website without actively providing personal information. However, certain technical data (such as IP addresses) are processed automatically when accessing any website. Additional personal data (for example your name, email address, telephone number or company information) is only collected when you voluntarily provide it to us, such as when requesting information, contacting us, or asking for a quotation. We do not transmit your data to third parties unless you explicitly consent to this or unless we are legally permitted or required to do so.

Please note that data transmission over the Internet (e.g., email communication) may involve security risks. Complete protection of data from access by third parties cannot be guaranteed.

The purpose of this privacy policy is to inform you about the nature, scope, and purpose of the personal data that we collect and process, as well as your rights as a data subject.

To use certain services on our website—for example, submitting individual requests or inquiries—it may be necessary for you to provide personal data. Such data is used exclusively for processing your request and for providing the services you have asked for. Any further processing beyond these purposes will only take place with your explicit consent or where permitted by law.

Our website uses cookies to ensure basic functionality, security and an optimal user experience. Cookies are small text files that your internet browser stores on your device (computer, tablet or smartphone).

We use essential (technical) cookies that are required for the proper functioning of the website, and analytical cookies (Google Analytics 4) which are only activated after you give your explicit consent via our cookie banner.

You can prevent cookies from being stored by adjusting your browser settings. Please note that disabling essential cookies may limit some website functions.

We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (“Google”). Google Analytics uses cookies or similar technologies to help us analyse how visitors use our website.

The information collected may include your IP address, device information, pages visited, and interactions with our website. This data is generally transmitted to and processed on Google servers. We have activated IP anonymization, meaning your IP address is shortened within the EU/EEA before being transferred to the United States.

Google Analytics is only activated if you give us your explicit consent via our cookie banner (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You can withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future.

Data may be transferred to Google LLC in the United States. Google is certified under the EU–US Data Privacy Framework (DPF), providing an adequate level of data protection according to the European Commission.

Google uses this information on our behalf to:

  • evaluate how you use our website
  • compile reports on website activity
  • provide additional services related to website and internet usage

Google will not combine your IP address with other Google data.

Google Analytics data is stored for 14 months, after which it is automatically deleted.

You may prevent the installation of cookies by adjusting your browser settings. You can also use Google’s opt‑out browser add‑on: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
