If you have a technical problem or you need help with one of our systems, you can also use Skype or the remote maintenance software pcvisit.
Skype is a free program for the transmission of audio/video conversations via the Internet. Communication with this program is highly encrypted. To use Skype, first you will have to create a free user account and download the program. If you contact us over Skype, we record your Skype ID as well as other data provided voluntarily. Skype is a service of Skype Communications S.à.r.l. (a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Microsoft Corporation with headquarters in Luxembourg) that can be used to send and receive voice, video, and instant messages. In providing these functions, Microsoft collects, uses, and shares the user’s personal data, including data about communication through Skype (date and time of communication, numbers or usernames that are involved in the communication). You can find more information in the “Skype” section at https://privacy.microsoft.com/de-de/privacystatement/. A Skype button is integrated into our website. This is simply a normal web link (HTML hyperlink). Usage of this communication channel, while observing the Skype terms of use from Microsoft, is only possible if you open the Skype app installed on your device.
For remote maintenance and performance of service and support, we use the pcvisit software, provided by pcvisit Software AG, Manfred-von-Ardenne-Ring 20, 01099 Dresden, Germany. With this software, we have access to the customer’s computer via the Internet and can operate the screen, keyboard, and mouse remotely. It is also possible to exchange files. The connection between Rothballer and the customer is made exclusively with permission from and in the presence of the customer. The customer can terminate the remote maintenance at any time. Personal data revealed during remote maintenance is not stored or forwarded to third parties. More information can be found at https://www.pcvisit.de/produkte/fernwartung/sicherheit-technologie.html
