Risks 

The USER acknowledges in particular the following risks in relation with the SERVICES and visit of the WEBSITE:
• Insufficient system knowledge and lack of security

precautions can facilitate unauthorised access (e.g. insufficient protection for data stored on the hard disk). There is the ever-present risk of computer viruses spreading to the computer where there is contact with the outside world, whether via computer networks (e.g. Internet) or diskettes. The use of anti-virus programs can reduce the risk and the USER is recommended to take this action. It is the responsibility of the USER to obtain precise information on the necessary safety precautions. 

• It is important for the USER to only utilise software from trustworthy sources. 

• It is possible for a third party to gain access to the USER’s computer, unnoticed, when the Internet is being used. 

• No guarantee can be given of the Internet's operational availability. In particular, it is possible for transmission errors, technical deficiencies, break downs, illegal intervention into network installations, network overload and intentional blockage of the electronic access by third parties, interruptions or other shortcomings on the part of the network operator may occur. 

Privacy Policy 

DIX Global treats the USER’s personal data in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Data Protection Act. Our privacy policy as set out herein will govern the USER’s privacy rights in using the WEBSITE. 

DIX Global collects, stores and processes personal data only as long as necessary and handles it with great care. Personal data collected, stored and processed by DIX Global is derived from information that USERS enter or upload onto the DIX Global platform and includes in particular login, personal and contact details, member profiles as well as information regarding opportunities. 

DIX Global uses the USER’s personal data and information for the following purposes: creation and maintenance of USER profiles, provision of payable SERVICES, provision of marketing information, processing of orders and rendering of SERVICES as well as production of reports and statistics. 

Personal data collected, stored or processed is as a rule used only to carry out the SERVICES known to the USER. If the personal data is used in any other way, such as to bring the USER's attention to further products and services, the USER can exclude the use of his personal data for any purposes other than the originally desired SERVICES. No personal data is provided to third parties. 

Circumstances may arise where DIX Global is required to disclose the USER’s personal data and information to third parties for purposes such as in connection with a corporate divestiture or dissolution, or if disclosure is required by law or is pertinent to judicial or governmental investigations or proceedings. 

DIX Global will send its members information about SERVICES and offers or DIX Global itself. If a USER does not want to receive such mailings, he can opt out of receiving further marketing from DIX Global at any time. 

Data Security & Confidentiality 

Great importance is attached to data security at DIX Global. DIX Global takes the necessary technical precautions to ensure that the USER’s personal data is transferred and stored securely. DIX Global uses secure servers in order to increase the data security and, where necessary, standard encryption technologies. In view of the encryption used, it is basically not possible for any unauthorised person to view the confidential USER data. Nevertheless, absolute security with regard to confidentiality, integrity, authenticity or availability cannot be guaranteed neither on the part of DIX Global nor on the part of the USER even with all the state-of-the-art security precautions. 

When a USER accesses personal data, and during its processing, the affected USER is responsible for compliance with data security. The storage of data on data carriers is to be done such that there is restricted access to it, printouts are to be handled confidentially, and unneeded personal data are to be deleted immediately. 

DIX Global supplies USERS with information and content for their own professional use. By accessing DIX Global the USER expressly agrees not to copy, publish or provide access to the elements and information offered, in any form whatsoever, particularly on the World Wide Web.
