Our websites (“Website”) available on iconnecthue.com, iconnecthue.app and iconnect.de; and

We embed YouTube videos on the Website to demonstrate our products that are hosted by the YouTube LLC, a subsidiary of Google, in the USA. The videos are embedded using the so-called Extended Privacy option (information on that is available here: https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/171780?hl=de).

Affiliate Partner Advertising Network
We participate in several partner network programs (“Affiliate Networks”) that work as described here. We display links to our network partners’ products or other offers, and when clicking on any of them, information is added to the link and transferred to our respective partner that you clicked on one of our links to said product. When you subsequently buy anything from our network partner we receive a small remuneration for advertising their products. This way we finance a part of our services, for example to purchase further products we review and display in this context. In the following we provide details on how the system works, and enumerate our network partners.
Our affiliate links’ – with the exception of those in the iTunes Affiliate and the Affilinet system (more detail follows) – clearly show their targets and network partners. They are named, e.g., „Amazon US/CA: Philips Hue Motion Sensor“, which means they lead to Amazon US/CA. When you click on an affiliate link our webserver stores a cookie on your device that contains the following types of data and transmits them to our network partner:
Referrer ID, meaning the ID of the linking partner (in this case us); and
The mentioned data is, as the case may be with the respective network, processed either exclusively in the EU or, when a network stores and processes the tracking data also outside of the EU, said networks fulfill the requirements of the EU-US Privacy Shield or have concluded contracts with the advertising network providers (e.g. Standard Contractual Clauses) that ensure a GDPR-equivalent data protection level.
Amazon PartnerNet (Germany) or, as the case may be, Amazon Affiliate (outside of Germany) of the Amazon.com, Inc. and its subsidiaries. For these networks, as an exception to the other networks, we process your IP address to determine the country associated to your IP address and, upon clicking on the respective link, transfer you to the Amazon store that matches your country.
eBay Partner Network (eBay Partner Network, Inc. residing in 2145 Hamilton Ave., San Jose, CA 95125, USA): no particularities.
Affili.net of affilinet GmbH residing in Sapporobogen 6–8, 80637 München, Germany. The particularity here is: Affili.net is our provider of a network of advertising partners with which affilinet GmbH has concluded contracts itself. The only difference on your end is that our contractual partner is affilinet GmbH instead of, e.g., IKEA or Media Markt whose products we advertise.
iTunes Affiliate of Apple Inc. that is provided and maintained by Performance Horizon Group residing in One Trinity Green, Eldon Street, South Shields, NE33 1SA, Newcastle, UK. The particularity here is that the placed links do not obviously link to “iTunes” but that all links to our apps in the App Store carry our Affiliate ID.
The legal basis for our participation in the said affiliate networks is our legitimate interest in financing and optimizing our products according to art. 6 para 1 lit. f GDPR.

The following information relates to your use of the Mobile Apps.
Collection of Personal Data When Using the App
When downloading the Mobile App the necessary information is transmitted to the respective app store provider, i.e. user name, e-mail address and customer number of your account, time of download, payment information and the individual device identifier. We have no influence on and are not responsible for said data transfer, and do not have access to it.
Respectively transmitted data volume.
When you open websites through the Mobile App, e.g. YouTube video pages, cookies are stored on the device in addition to the previously mentioned data. Among these cookies are i.e. session cookies that store a so-called Session ID with which the various requests of the Mobile App are allocable. The session cookies are – just like any other cookies that are, as the case may be, set – deleted when you close the respective window.
Geolocation for Location-Based App Functions
When you use certain functions in the Mobile App, such as “Automation on arrival and leaving” or “Daylight dependent actions”, the Mobile App collects and processes the geolocation of your device. This data is stored locally on your used device and bridge(s) only.
Legal basis of these processes is art. 6 para 1 lit. b GDPR. If you do not want your geolocation to be collected for the mentioned purposes, please do not use the mentioned functions.
Audio Recordings („Discotainment“)
When you use the function “Discotainment“, audio is recorded and automatically analyzed for certain patterns by the Mobile App through the device’s microphone to control lights, and deleted immediately after the analysis.
Legal basis of this process is art. 6 para 1 lit. b GDPR. Should you not want said audio recording, please do not use the function “Discotainment”.
When you contact us through the contact function in the Mobile App because of a problem or with a question, your current IP address, your bridge and app settings, and the last activities in the Mobile App are collected and transmitted to us along with your contact to allow us to solve your problem and localize and prevent system crashes in the future. Legal basis of this process is art. 6 para 1 lit. b GDPR.
You can remove said data prior to sending of the e-mail. In that case it probably won’t be possible for us to help you with the Mobile App though.
YouTube videos are embedded in the Mobile App that are hosted by the Google subsidiary YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA who also provides the script for embedding said videos. When you tap on a video embedded in the Mobile App and are logged in to your YouTube account, YouTube can allocate your surfing behavior to your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account prior to tapping on any YouTube video.
The legal basis for using YouTube as video-embedding service provider is our legitimate interest in making our offers attractive and understandable and to appeal to a wide audience according to art. 6 para 1 lit. f GDPR.
All details on which data is collected and processed when using YouTube is available at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy.
Google Crashlytics and Google Answers
It is crucial to us give you a stable and well-functioning Mobile App. In the Mobile App we use two modules of Google Fabric (https://get.fabric.io/), a framework by Google, through which we track the following functions of the Mobile App in real time.
We use Crashlytics (https://firebase.google.com/products/crashlytics/) to track and in the future prevent app crashes. In case of a crash, a crash report is created automatically and transmitted to Google that comprises the type of used device, the operating system, your last activities in the Mobile App, and your IP address in pseudonymous form. Information on the functionalities of Crashlytics is available here: https://firebase.google.com/products/crashlytics/
We use Answers to track how many new users use the Mobile App (more precisely, how many currently unknown instances of the Mobile App are run). To recognize and track single Mobile App instances, a pertaining identifier (a so-called “UUID”, a 16-digit code of letters and numbers) is generated and stored on the used device. The UUID is stored for 90 days and subsequently deleted.
For all mentioned Fabric services, only anonymized or pseudonymized user data is transmitted to Google. Fabric’s privacy statement is available at https://docs.fabric.io/android/fabric/data-privacy.html.
The legal basis for the use of Crashlytics and Answers is our legitimate interest in tracking which errors exist in the Mobile App, how they can be fixed, and how many new users install the Mobile App in order to improve the Mobile App as well as possible pertaining to art. 6 para 1 lit. f GDPR.
If you do not want the mentioned data categories to be collected and processed, you have no option but not to use the Mobile App.
