We would like to point out that this privacy statement applies only to the site lineupr.com, its subpages and the blog blog.lineupr.com, but not to websites of third parties that are linked there. As LineUpr has no measures to influence data usage of said third parties, we recommend that you also assess those third parties’ privacy statements.
LineUpr collects and processes personal data exclusively in compliance with the relevant provisions of the German data protection law, in particular the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Telemedia Act (TMA).

We use the data to guarantee the error free functioning of the website and the LineUpr apps, to communicate with our users, to secure the plattform, to analyze user patterns and to measure the reach.

There is a possibility that your browsing patterns will be statistically analyzed when you visit our website. Such analyses are performed primarily with cookies and analysis programmes. As a rule, the analyses of your browsing patterns are conducted anonymously; i.e. the browsing patterns cannot be traced back to you. You have the option to object to such analyses or you can prevent their performance by not using certain tools. For detailed information about this, please consult our Data Protection Declaration below.
We handle your personal data as confidential information and in compliance with the statutory data protection regulations and this Data Protection Declaration.
Whenever you use LineUpr, a variety of personal information will be collected. Personal data comprises data that can be used to personally identify you. This Data Protection Declaration explains which data we collect as well as the purposes we use this data for. It also explains how, and for which purpose the information is collected.
We herewith advise you that the transmission of data via the Internet (e.g. through email communications) may be prone to security gaps. It is not possible to completely protect data against third party access.
A wide range of data processing transactions are possible only subject to your express consent. You can also revoke at any time any consent you have already given to us. To do so, all you are required to do is sent us an informal notification via email. This shall be without prejudice to the lawfulness of any data collection that occurred prior to your revocation.
In the event that data are processed on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. e or f GDPR, you have the right to at any time object to the processing of your personal data based on grounds arising from your unique situation. This also applies to any profiling based on these provisions. To determine the legal basis, on which any processing of data is based, please consult this Data Protection Declaration. If you log an objection, we will no longer process your affected personal data, unless we are in a position to present compelling protection worthy grounds for the processing of your data, that outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms or if the purpose of the processing is the claiming, exercising or defence of legal entitlements (objection pursuant to Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR).
If your personal data is being processed in order to engage in direct advertising, you have the right to at any time object to the processing of your affected personal data for the purposes of such advertising. This also applies to profiling to the extent that it is affiliated with such direct advertising. If you object, your personal data will subsequently no longer be used for direct advertising purposes (objection pursuant to Art. 21 para. 2 GDPR).
This website uses TLS encryption (colloquially “SSL encryption”) for data transmission. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address displayed in the browser starts with “https://” and, depending on the browser vendor, a key or lock symbol may appear in the address line.
If you are under an obligation to share your payment information (e.g. credit card number) with us after you have entered into a fee-based contract with us, this information is required to process payments.
Payment transactions are made exclusively via an encrypted connection. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address displayed in the browser starts with “https://” and, depending on the browser vendor, a key or lock symbol may appear in the address line.
Within the scope of the applicable statutory provisions, you have the right to at any time demand information about your archived personal data, their source and recipients as well as the purpose of the processing of your data. You may also have a right to have your data rectified, blocked or eradicated. If you have questions about this subject matter or any other questions about personal data, please do not hesitate to contact us at any time at the address disclosed in the imprint of this website.
If the processing of your personal data was or is conducted in an unlawful manner, you have the option to demand the restriction of the processing of your data in lieu of demanding the eradication of this data.
If you have raised an objection pursuant to Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR, your rights and our rights will have to be weighed against each other. As long as it has not been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to demand a restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, these data — with the exception of their archiving — may be processed only subject to your consent or to claim, exercise or defend legal entitlements or to protect the rights of other natural persons or legal entities or for important public interest reasons cited by the European Union or a member state of the EU.
We herewith object to the use of contact information published in conjunction with the mandatory information to be provided to send us promotional and information material that we have not expressly requested. LineUpr reserve the express right to take legal action in the event of the unsolicited sending of promotional information, for instance via spam emails.

You can contact us via the email addresses and telephone numbers provided. In this case, your personal data transmitted with the email or telephone call will be stored. Please note, however, that emails are generally not sent in encrypted form and the sender himself must ensure that they are encrypted. We can therefore take no responsibility for the transmission path between the sender and the reception on our server.
The legal basis for the processing of data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR if the user has given his consent. The legal basis for the processing of data transmitted in the course of sending an email is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. If the email contact aims at the conclusion of a contract, then additional legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. In the event of contact by email or telephone, the necessary legitimate interest in the processing of the data lies in this.
The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer necessary to achieve the purpose for which they were collected. For the personal data sent by email or telephone, this is the case when the conversation with the user is finished. The conversation is terminated when it can be inferred from the circumstances that the facts in question have been finally clarified.
The user can revoke his consent to the processing of personal data at any time. All you need to do is send us a short email. All personal data stored in the course of contacting us will be deleted in this case.
You have the option to register on our website to be able to use additional functions.

We are also legally obliged to give certain public authorities information. These are criminal investigation authorities, public authorities which prosecute administrative offences entailing fines and the German finance authorities.
For specific tasks we depend on contractually affiliated external companies and external service providers. This applies for example to deliver emails, customer service, hosting of our services, and the process payments. In such cases, information is transferred to these companies or individuals in order to enable them to process this information further. The service providers may only use the data for the purposes stipulated by LineUpr and solely in accordance with German data protection laws.

This website uses Google AdWords. AdWords is an online promotional program of Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.
In conjunction with Google AdWords, we use a tool called “Conversion Tracking”. If you click on an ad posted by Google, a “conversion cookie” for Conversion Tracking purposes will be placed. These cookies expire after 30 days and are not used to personally identify users. If the user visits certain pages of this website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we will be able to recognise that the user has clicked on an ad and has been linked to this page.
A different cookie is allocated to every Google AdWords customer. These cookies cannot be tracked via websites of AdWords customers. The information obtained with the assistance of the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted to use Conversion Tracking. The customers receive the total number of users that have clicked on their ads and have been linked to a page equipped with a Conversion Tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that would allow them to personally identify these users. If you do not want to participate in tracking, you have the option to object to this use by easily deactivating the Google Conversion Tracking cookie in your web browser’s settings.

This website uses the services of MailChimp to send out its newsletters. Provider is the Rocket Science Group LLC, 675 Ponce De Leon Ave NE, Suite 5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA.
Among other things, MailChimp is a service that can be used to organise and analyze the sending of newsletters. Whenever you enter data for the purpose of subscribing to a newsletter (e.g. your email address), the information is stored on MailChimp’s servers in the USA.
MailChimp is in possession of a certification that is in compliance with the “EU-US-Privacy-Shield”.

Further information is available under https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt0000000TO6hAAG&status=Active.
With the assistance of MailChimp, we can analyze our newsletter campaigns. If you open an email that has been sent through with MailChimp, a file that has been integrated into the email connects to MailChimp’s servers in the USA.

Technical information is also recorded (e.g. the time of access, IP address, type of browser and operating system). The sole purpose of this information are the statistical analyses of newsletter campaigns. The results of such analyses can be used to tailor future newsletters to the interests of their recipients more effectively.
If you do not want to permit an analysis by MailChimp, you must unsubscribe from the newsletter. To do this, we provide an “Unsubscribe” link in every newsletter message.
The data is processed based on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You may revoke any consent you have given at any time by unsubscribing from the newsletter. This shall be without prejudice to the lawfulness of any data processing transactions that have taken place prior to your revocation.
