Gapless | Data Privacy Policy
Pursuant to Art. 12 of the General Data Protection Regulation (hereinafter referred to as GDPR), we are obliged to inform you about the processing of your data when using our website. We take the protection of your personal data very seriously and this data protection declaration informs you about the details of the processing of your data as well as about your legal rights in this regard. We reserve the right to adapt the data protection declaration with effect for the future, in particular in the event of further development of the website, the use of new technologies or changes to the legal basis or corresponding jurisdiction. We recommend that you read the data protection declaration from time to time and include a print out or copy with your documents.
“Website” or “Internet presence” in all the following means of the responsible person on http://www.gapless-app.com/ and http://www.gapless.app.
“Personal data” means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. An identifiable person is one who can be identified directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or one or more specific characteristics that express the physical, physiological, genetic, psychological, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person. Personal data is therefore, for example, the name, email address and telephone number of a person, but may also include data on preferences, hobbies and memberships.
Processing means operations or series of operations relating to personal data carried out with or without the aid of automated processes, such as collection, recording, organisation, filing, recording, adaptation, alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, comparison, integration, limitation, erasure or destruction.
Pseudonymisation means the processing of personal data in such a way that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the involvement of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organisational measures ensuring that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.
Consent is subsequently given in the form of any voluntary, specific, informed and unambiguous expression of will, in the form of a statement or other unambiguous affirmative act, by which the data subject indicates his or her consent to the processing of personal data concerning him or her.
Google also refers to Google Dublin, Google Ireland Ltd., Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, Fax: +353 (1) 436 1001.
The privacy policy applies to all pages of http://www.gapless-app.com/. It does not extend to any linked websites or Internet presences of other providers.
Attorney at Law and Data Protection Officer
Right to rectification (Art. 16 GDPR) or deletion (Art. 17 GDPR)
Right to object to the processing (Art. 21 GDPR)
Right to revoke your consent (Art. 7 para. 3 GDPR)
Right to receive the data in a structured, common, machine-readable format (“data transferability”) and right to forward the data to another responsible party if the conditions of Art. 20 para. 1 lit. a, b GDPR are met (Art. 20 GDPR).
You can assert your rights by notifying the contact details listed in the “Responsible provider” section or by contacting the data protection officer appointed by us. You also have the right to complain to a data protection supervisory authority about the processing of your personal data carried out by us (Art. 77 GDPR).
The temporary processing of the IP address by the system is necessary in order to technically enable delivery of the website to your computer. A processing of your IP address for the duration of the session is necessary. The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. f) GDPR. The access data will not be used to identify individual users and will not be merged with other data sources. The access data are deleted when they are no longer required for the purpose of their processing. In the case of the collection of data for the provision of the website, this is the case when you end your visit to the website. IP addresses are stored in log files to ensure the functionality of the website. The data is also used to optimise the website and to ensure the security of our information technology systems. An evaluation of the data for marketing purposes does not take place in this context either. The data is generally deleted after seven days at the latest; further processing is possible in individual cases. In this case, the IP address is deleted or altered in such a way that it is no longer possible to assign the calling client. The collection of the data for the provision of the website and the processing of the data in log files is mandatory for the operation of the website. You have the right to object to the processing. Your right of objection exists for reasons arising from your particular situation, unless we can prove compelling grounds for processing which outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms, and also if the processing serves to assert and exercise or defend against legal claims (Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR). In the event of your justified objection, we will examine the facts and either discontinue or adapt the data processing or point out to you our compelling defensible reasons on the basis of which we will continue the processing.
In addition to the aforementioned access data, so-called cookies are stored in the Internet browser of the end device you are using when you use the website. These are small text files with a sequence of numbers that are stored locally in the cache of the browser used. Cookies are not part of the PC system and cannot execute any programs. They serve to make our website user-friendly. The use of cookies may be technically necessary or for other purposes (e.g. analysis/evaluation of website use).
– Log-in information.
The user data collected by technically necessary cookies are not processed for the creation of user profiles. We also use so-called “session cookies”, which store a session ID with which various requests from your browser can be allocated to the joint session. Session cookies are necessary for the use of the website. In particular, they enable us to recognise the terminal used when you return to the website. We use this cookie to recognize you on subsequent visits to the website if you have an account with us; otherwise you would have to log in again each time you visit. The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. f) GDPR. We use session cookies to make the use of the website more attractive and effective. The session cookies are deleted as soon as you log out or close your browser. Your right to object exists for reasons arising from your particular situation, unless we can prove compelling grounds for processing worthy of protection which outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms, and also if the processing serves to assert and exercise or defend against legal claims (Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR). In the event of your justified objection, we will examine the facts and either discontinue or adapt the data processing or point out to you our compelling reasons worthy of protection on the basis of which we will continue the processing. You can deactivate or restrict the transmission of cookies by changing the settings in your Internet browser. Cookies that have already been saved can be deleted at any time. This can also be done automatically. If cookies are deactivated for our website, it is possible that all functions of the website can no longer be used to their full extent.
b) Cookies that are not technically necessary
We also use cookies on the website, which enable us to analyse the surfing behaviour of users. For example, the following data is stored and processed in the cookies:
These cookies are used to make the use of the website more efficient and attractive. The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. f) GDPR. Cookies that are not technically necessary are automatically deleted after a specified period of time, which may differ depending on the cookie. You can object to the processing of your data by cookies. Your right to object exists for reasons arising from your particular situation, unless we can prove compelling grounds for processing worthy of protection which outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms, and also if the processing serves to assert and exercise or defend against legal claims (Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR). If you do not wish to use cookies, you have the option of changing your browser settings to block cookies generally or selectively or to remove cookies that have already been saved. You can also have the corresponding information displayed before setting a cookie. If you change the browser settings for the use of cookies or deactivate cookies, the functionality of this website may be restricted. Insofar as we integrate third-party cookies into our website, we will point this out to you separately below.
If you contact our company, e.g. by email, the personal data you provide will be processed by us in order to answer your enquiry. The legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. f) GDPR or Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. b) GDPR if the purpose of the contact is to conclude a contract. In the case of contact by email, the processing of the contact also constitutes the necessary legitimate interest in the processing of the data.
In this context, the data will not be passed on to third parties. The data are processed exclusively for the processing of the conversation. We delete the data arising in this connection after the processing is no longer necessary or restrict the processing to compliance with the existing legally mandatory storage obligations. You have the possibility at any time to object to the processing of your personal data for contact enquiries. Your right of objection exists for reasons arising from your particular situation, unless we can prove compelling grounds for processing worthy of protection which outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms, and also if the processing serves to assert and exercise or defend against legal claims (Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR). A right of objection is given in particular if the processing is not necessary for the fulfilment of a contract with you, which is described by us in the previous description of the functions. In such a case, the processing of the request may not be continued. In the event of your justified objection, we will examine the situation and either discontinue or adapt the data processing or point out our compelling reasons worthy of protection on the basis of which we will continue the processing.
We process your personal data if and to the extent necessary for the initiation, justification, execution and/or termination of a legal transaction with our company. The legal basis for this arises from Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. b) GDPR.
After the purpose has been achieved (e.g. contract processing), the personal data will be blocked for further processing or deleted unless we are entitled to further storage and processing as required in the respective context on the basis of a consent given by you (e.g. consent to the processing of the email address for sending electronic advertising mail), a contractual agreement, a legal authorization (e.g. authorization to send direct mail) or on the basis of legitimate interests (e.g. storage for the enforcement of claims).
Your personal data will be passed on insofar as it is necessary for the establishment, execution or termination of legal transactions with our company (e.g. in the case of passing on data to a payment service provider / a mail order company for the purpose of processing a contract with your person), (Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. b) GDPR), or
– a subcontractor or vicarious agent, whom we use exclusively in the context of providing the offers or services requested by you, requires this data (such auxiliary persons are only entitled to process the data to the extent necessary for the provision of the offer or service, unless you are expressly informed otherwise), or
– there is an enforceable administrative order (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. c) GDPR), or
– there is an enforceable court order (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. c) GDPR), or
– we are legally obliged to do so (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. c) GDPR), or
– the processing is necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. d) GDPR), or
– it is necessary for the performance of a task which is in the public interest or is carried out in the exercise of official authority (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. e), or
– we are authorised or even obliged to pursue overriding legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR).
Any further transfer of your personal data to other persons, companies or bodies will not take place unless you have given your effective consent to such a transfer. The legal basis for the processing is then Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. a) GDPR.
We process the data necessary for the online application process (name, email address and location) as well as data you have sent us in connection with your application in order to check your suitability for the position (or any other open positions in our company) and to carry out the application process.
Legal basis for the processing of your personal data in this application procedure is primarily § 26 BDSG in the version valid from 25.05.2018. Accordingly, the processing of the data required in connection with the decision on the establishment of an employment relationship is permissible. Should the data be necessary for legal prosecution after completion of the application procedure, it may be processed on the basis of the requirements of Art. 6 DSGVO, in particular to safeguard legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) DSGVO. Our interest then lies in the assertion or defence of claims.
Candidate data will be deleted after 6 months in the event of rejection. In the event that you have agreed to further storage of your personal data, we will transfer your data to our applicant pool. There the data will be deleted after two years. If you have been awarded a position as part of the application process, the data will be transferred from the applicant data system to our personnel information system.
We use a specialized software provider for the application process. This provider acts as a service provider for us and may also obtain knowledge of your personal data in connection with the maintenance and servicing of the systems. We have concluded a so-called order processing contract with this provider, which ensures that the data processing is carried out in a permissible manner.
Your applicant data will be viewed by the personnel department after receipt of your application. Suitable applications will then be forwarded internally to the department managers responsible for the respective open position. The rest of the process is then coordinated. In the company only those persons have access to your data who need it for the proper course of our application procedure.
You have the possibility to object to the processing of your data at any time. Your right to object exists for reasons arising from your particular situation, unless we can prove compelling grounds for processing worthy of protection which outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms, and also if the processing serves to assert and exercise or defend against legal claims (Art. 21 para. 1 DSGVO).
A right of objection exists in particular if the processing is not necessary for the fulfilment of a contract with you, which is described by us in the previous description of the functions. In the event of your justified objection, we will examine the situation and either discontinue or adapt the data processing or point out our compelling reasons worthy of protection on the basis of which we will continue the processing.
If you transfer a digital asset of a sold car to another profile as part of the export function in our app, any personal data contained therein will be transferred to the authorized user (buyer) of the app and processed by this user. Processing by other parties does not take place. The purpose of the processing is to make all relevant car content as easily accessible as possible for the buyer, to fulfil the contractual obligations according to our terms of use and to save the buyer the effort of creating a new asset. The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. b) DSGVO. Data processing is necessary for the fulfilment of contractual obligations. In accordance with our terms of use, users are obliged to grant the purchaser of a car rights of use to the digital assets, including any personal data contained therein. In the event that the data is not made available, the granting of rights of use and thus the execution of the contract is not possible. Insofar as the processing goes beyond the contractual purpose in accordance with the terms of use, the legal basis is Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. f) DSGVO. The legitimate interest on our part is to offer our users a platform that is as attractive as possible with the highest possible range of services. Processing ends as soon as the user relationship has ended and there are no other legal storage obligations. If the data processing is based on Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. f) DSGVO, you may object to the processing at any time. Your right to object exists for reasons arising from your particular situation. In the event of an objection, we will cease processing unless we can prove compelling reasons worthy of protection which outweigh your interests, freedoms and rights or the processing is necessary for asserting or exercising or defending against legal claims.
Offers for dealers and service providers
If you have consented to be contacted by us via our app offers for the creation of exposés relating to the trade, procurement and service of vehicles, your data will be processed for direct advertising on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. a) DSGVO. If the processing serves the fulfilment of contractual services or is based on a request from dealers and service providers, the processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. b) DSGVO. The purpose of the processing is to establish contact with you as a trader in order to submit offers for the preparation of exposés and, if necessary, to fulfil the contract for this service. The provision of relevant personal data is necessary and obligatory for the preparation of the exposés and, in the case of a present request, for the execution of the contract. If the relevant data is not made available, such a contract cannot be carried out for the creation of exposés. Your data will not be processed outside the European Union. Your data will be deleted at the latest two years after termination of the contract. Insofar as legal storage obligations exist, we restrict the processing. A revocation of your consent is possible at any time. You can assert your right of revocation against the contact data mentioned under “Responsible”. The lawfulness of the processing of your data until the time of revocation is not affected in accordance with Art. 13 para. 2 lit. c) DSGVO.
Dealers’ and service providers’ offers
If you have consented via our app to be contacted by authorised dealers and service providers in our app and to receive offers from dealers and service providers on all topics relating to cars, in particular on the trade, procurement and service of vehicles, as well as to receive platform and car-specific advertising by Gapless, your data will be processed on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. a) DSGVO. Insofar as the processing serves the fulfilment of contractual services, the processing takes place on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. b) DSGVO. In this case the provision of your data is necessary and obligatory for the execution of the contract. If your data is not provided, it cannot be processed for the execution of the contract. Processing is carried out for the purpose of establishing contact between you and the dealers and service providers and for purposes of direct advertising and thus for the more attractive design of our app. The passing on of the appropriate data for the establishment of contact takes place only to all entitled dealers and service providers in our App. If you provide further data in the course of contacting the retailer, the respective retailer is solely responsible for further processing. The processing of your data takes place exclusively within the European Union. The dealers and service providers registered with us are all obliged to process all data in accordance with applicable data protection laws. We delete the data obtained in this context at the latest two years after termination of the contract, or restrict the processing if there are legal storage obligations. You can revoke your consent at any time. You can assert your right of revocation against the contact data mentioned under “Responsible”. The lawfulness of the processing of your data until the time of revocation is not affected in accordance with Art. 13 para. 2 lit. c) DSGVO.

If the newsletter registration takes place outside of a contract conclusion, we process these data up to the expiration of two years after termination of the use process. We delete this data when the newsletter subscription ends.
After your confirmation, we process the email address and name of the recipient concerned for the purpose of sending you our email newsletter. The legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. a) DSGVO. We delete this data when you cancel your newsletter subscription.

This does not affect the legality of the processing of your data, which was carried out on the basis of your consent up to your revocation. In the event of a revocation of your consent, we will process your data, in particular your email address, to ensure that you do not receive any further newsletters from us. For this purpose, we put your email address on a so-called blacklist, which we can use to carry out a comparison to ensure that you do not receive any further newsletters from us. The legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 Para. 1 S.1 lit. c) DSGVO in order to comply with our obligation to retain data, otherwise Art. 6 Para. 1 S.1 lit. f) DSGVO. Our legitimate interests are to comply with our legal obligation not to send you any further newsletters after exercising your right of revocation.
We use the email marketing service SendGrid (SendGrid Inc., 1801 California Street, Suite 500, Denver, CO 80202) to send you emails and messages within our app for various administrative and Marketing purposes, such as resetting your password. The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. b) DSGVO, insofar as the processing is necessary for the purpose of fulfilling the contract.

SendGrid also processes data outside the European Union. However, SendGrid has submitted to the EU-US Privacy Shield and is thus committed to compliance with the European Data Protection Standards (https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt0000000TRktAAG&status=Active). You can find further provisions on data protection at SendGrid at: https://sendgrid.com/policies/privacy/services-privacy-policy/. If the data processing is based on Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. f) DSGVO, you may object to the processing at any time. Your right to object exists for reasons arising from your particular situation. In the event of an objection, we will cease processing unless we can prove compelling reasons worthy of protection which outweigh your interests, freedoms and rights, or the processing is necessary for the assertion or exercise of or for the defence against legal claims.

– inquiries regarding customer feedback

Insofar as the sending of electronic information is not necessary for the execution of the contract (e.g. email in informational form) and the legal basis from Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. b) GDPR is relevant, the processing is based on the legal basis according to Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. f) GDPR. Our legitimate interests in the aforementioned processing lie in increasing and optimizing our services, sending direct mail and ensuring customer satisfaction. We delete your data when you terminate your user contract, at the latest, however, three years after termination of the contract. We draw your attention to the fact that you can object at any time to the receipt of direct advertising as well as data processing for the purpose of direct advertising without incurring any costs other than the transmission costs according to the basic tariffs. You are entitled to a general right of objection without giving reasons (Art. 21 para. 2 GDPR). After exercising your right of objection, we will delete your data in connection with the acquisition of existing customers. Click on the unsubscribe link in the respective email or send us your objection to the contact details listed in the “Responsible provider” section. In the event of an objection, we will process your data, in particular your email address, to ensure that you do not receive any further direct mail from us. For this purpose, we put your email address on a so-called blacklist, which we can use to carry out a comparison to ensure that you do not receive any further newsletters from us. The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 Para. 1 S.1 lit. c) DSGVO in order to comply with our obligation to retain data, otherwise Art. 6 Para. 1 S.1 lit. f) DSGVO.

We use the email marketing service “MailChimp” of the provider Rocket Science Group, LLC (675 Ponce De Leon Ave NE, Suite 5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA, Web: https://mailchimp.com/; hereinafter: “MailChimp”). If you have subscribed to the newsletter, the data provided during registration will be stored and processed on MailChimp’s servers in the USA. Mailchimp has submitted to the EU-US Privacy Shield, https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework. You can view the Rocket Science Group certification at https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt0000000TO6hAAG. MailChimp processes this information to send and evaluate the newsletter on our behalf. The MailChimp. Newsletters contain so-called “web-beacon”, which are pixel-sized files that are retrieved from the MailChimp server when the newsletter is opened. Technical information, such as the browser used, time of the page call and IP address, is collected as part of the retrieval process. This information is processed for the evaluation and technical improvement of the services. Furthermore, it is evaluated whether newsletters are opened, when they are opened and which links are clicked by the reader. This information can theoretically be assigned to individual newsletter recipients. Neither we nor MailChimp intend, however, to observe individual recipients; the evaluation of the information mentioned serves rather to recognize the reading habits of the recipients in order to better adapt, optimize and distribute our newsletter contents accordingly. The legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. f) GDPR. We have no knowledge of the storage period at MailChimp and have no possibility of influencing it. You have a general right of objection against data processing for the purpose of direct advertising without stating reasons (Art. 21 para. 2 GDPR). You can object to the processing at any time with effect for the future by clicking on the unsubscribe link at the end of the newsletter or by sending us the objection via the contact data mentioned in the section “Responsible provider”. This ends the processing for receiving the newsletter and for statistical analyses at the same time. A separate objection of the dispatch via MailChimp or the statistical evaluation is not possible. Alternatively, you can object at http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ and http://www.youronlinechoices.com/ (for the area of the European Union).

In the event of your justified objection, we will examine the facts and either discontinue or adapt the data processing or point out to you our compelling reasons worthy of protection on the basis of which we will continue the processing.

The Website incorporates third-party content such as videos, maps, RSS feeds or graphics from other websites. This integration always presupposes that the providers of this content (“third-party providers”) perceive the IP addresses of the users. Without the IP address, they cannot send the content to the browser of the respective user. The IP address is therefore required for the presentation of this content. We make every effort to only use content from third parties who process the IP address solely for the purpose of delivering the content. However, we have no influence on this if the third-party providers process the IP addresses, e.g. for statistical purposes. As far as we know, we will inform you about this in the following. Some of the third party providers may process data outside the European Union. You can object by installing a JavaScript blocker such as the browser plug-in ‘NoScript’ (www.noscript.net) or by deactivating JavaScript in your browser. Your right of objection exists for reasons arising from your particular situation, unless we can prove compelling grounds for processing worthy of protection which outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms, and also if the processing serves to assert and exercise or defend against legal claims (Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR). However, this may result in functional restrictions on the website.
We use so-called web fonts, which are provided by Google, for the uniform display of fonts. When you access a page, your browser loads the web fonts you need into its browser cache to display text and fonts correctly. For this purpose, the browser you are using must connect to Google’s servers. This enables Google to know that your IP address has been used to access our website. Google also processes your personal data in the USA and has submitted to the EU-US Privacy Shield, https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework. You can view the certification of Google at https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active. The use of Google Web Fonts is in the interest of a uniform and appealing presentation of our online offers. This represents a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. f) GDPR. We have no knowledge of the storage period at Google and have no possibility of influencing it. You can object to the processing by changing the browser settings so that the browser does not support web fonts – in this case, however, a standard font is used by your computer. Your right to object exists for reasons arising from your particular situation, unless we can prove compelling grounds for processing worthy of protection which outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms, and also if the processing serves the assertion and exercise of or defence against legal claims (Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR). In the event of your justified objection, we will examine the situation and either discontinue or adapt the data processing or point out our compelling reasons worthy of protection on the basis of which we will continue the processing. Further information on Google Web Fonts can be found at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faqand in Google’s privacy policy: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/.

However, AWS has submitted to the EU-US Privacy Shield (https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt0000000TOWQAA4&status=Active). We have no knowledge of the storage period of the corresponding data at AWS and have no possibility of influencing it. The legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. f) GDPR. We use Cloudfront to make our website more attractive and to optimise the loading times of the website. You have the right to object to the processing of your data. Your right of objection exists for reasons arising from your particular situation, unless we can prove compelling grounds for processing worthy of protection which outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms, and also if the processing serves to assert and exercise or defend against legal claims (Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR). You can exercise your right of objection by sending a message to the contact details given under “Responsible provider”.
We use the user research tool “Maze”, a service provided by “Maze.design Limited” (22 Albany Road, Brentford, London, UK, TW8 0NF). For the purpose of testing and testing new applications on our website, we recruit test users to use Maze to analyse the usability of our website, in particular which interfaces, click paths and designs are attractive and intuitive for our users and which need to be improved. The tool is also used to test the use of our website for the purpose of analysing user behaviour. This enables us to find out which click paths and designs can be improved.

We maintain so-called Facebook Groups on the social network called Facebook (Facebook Ireland Limited, Grand Calan Square 4, Dublin 2, Ireland. Email: impressum-support@support.facebook.com). Some of such groups are only accessible to Facebook users who have received an explicit invitation (closed groups) and others are public and accessible to all users (open groups). We host these groups in order to advertise our products and services, and to be able to establish regular contact with you as a Facebook user. In the interest of product development, we offer a select group of our users the opportunity to participate in closed beta user groups. Through these groups, this select group of our users receives new information about future products, app functionalities and services at regular intervals. In addition, these users are asked to provide evaluations of and feedback about alternative app designs, and are asked to participate in surveys about, for example, future app functionalities. We process data in accordance with art. 6 para. 1 sec. 1 it. f of the GDPR. Our legitimate interests are to contact you for the above-mentioned purposes within Facebook, to present you with advertising there, to make the use of our app as simple and attractive as possible by soliciting and evaluating customer feedback, and to inform you about technical and content-based changes to our app. If you join one of our Facebook groups, your end device information and personal data will also be processed by Facebook for the purposes of statistical analysis, reach measurement and personalised advertising.

We use the Google Tag Manager on our website. Google Tag Manager is a solution that allows marketers to manage website tags through a single interface. The Tag Manager tool itself (which implements the tags) is a cookie-free domain and does not collect personally identifiable information. The tool triggers other tags that may themselves collect data. Google Tag Manager does not access this data. If deactivation has been made at the domain or cookie level, it will persist for all tracking tags implemented with Google Tag Manager.
In order to optimally tailor our website to your interests, we use Google Analytics, a web analysis service from Google. Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies” (see the “Cookies” section before), which are stored on your computer and enable an analysis of the use of the website by you. The information generated about your use of this website is transferred to a Google server in the USA and processed there.
If IP anonymization is enabled on this website, Google will previously truncate your IP address within member states of the European Union or other signatory states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to and truncated by Google on servers in the United States. Google will use this information on our behalf to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activity for us and provide us with other services relating to website activity and internet usage.
This website uses Google Analytics with the extension “anonymizeIP”. This means that IP addresses are shortened for further processing, which excludes the possibility of personal references. If the data collected about you is related to a person, this is excluded immediately and the personal data is deleted immediately.

We use the Google Adwords offer from Google to draw attention to our attractive offers with the help of advertising media (so-called Google AdWords) on external websites. In relation to the data of the advertising campaigns, we can determine how successful the individual advertising measures are. These advertising media are delivered by Google via so-called “ad servers”. We use ad server cookies for this purpose, which can be used to measure certain parameters for measuring success, such as the display of ads or clicks by users. If you access our website via a Google ad, Google AdWords stores a cookie on your terminal device. As a rule, these cookies lose their validity after 30 days and are not intended to identify you. For this cookie, the unique cookie ID, number of ad impressions per placement (frequency), last impression (relevant for post-view conversions) and opt-out information (marking that the user no longer wishes to be addressed) are usually stored as analysis values. These cookies enable Google to recognize your Internet browser. If a user visits certain pages of an AdWords customer’s website and the cookie stored on their computer has not expired, Google and the customer may recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was directed to that page. Each AdWords customer is assigned a different cookie. Google only provides us with statistical evaluations to measure the success of our advertising media.
Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection with Google’s server. We have no influence on the extent and further processing of the data collected by Google through the use of this tool and therefore inform you according to our state of knowledge: By integrating AdWords Conversion, Google receives the information that you have called up the relevant part of our website or clicked on an advertisement from us. If you are registered with a Google service, Google can assign the visit to your account. Even if you are not registered with Google or have not logged in, it is possible that the provider may find out and store your IP address. Google processes the data in the USA and has submitted to the EU-US Privacy Shield, https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework.

Reddit Ads Conversion
We use Reddit Ads by Reddit (Reddit, Inc., 548 Market St. #16093, San Francisco, California 94104) in order to advertise our attractive offers on external websites. Based on data from such advertising campaigns, we can determine which advertising actions are the most effective. These actions are distributed, through Reddit, using so-called “ad servers”. We use ad server cookies in concert with these actions because they allow us to measure certain parameters for success, like the overlaying of ads and user clicks. If you arrive on our website by way of a Reddit ad, a cookie from Reddit Ads will be saved to your device. These cookies generally include attachments like the unique cookie-ID, concrete event data (page impressions, viewing of certain content like ads or offered services, search actions, products in the shopping cart of wishlist, transactions, newsletter subscriptions and previous logins), as well as opt out information (a designation that the user doesn’t want to be approached anymore). These cookies allow Reddit to recognize your internet browser. If a user visits the certain pages on the website of a Reddit Ads client, and so long as the cookie is still saved on the user’s computer and hasn’t yet expired, both Reddit and the client can see that the user was forwarded there after clicking on the client’s ad. Every Reddit Ads client gets their own cookie. The only statistical analysis we receive from Reddit is regarding the success of our advertising actions. Due to the marketing tools in use, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection with Reddit’s server. Through the deployment of Reddit Ads, Reddit receives information about your having visited any relevant portion of our internet presence, or if you have clicked on one of our ads. Reddit processes these data in the USA and submits to the US-EU Privacy Shield, https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework. You can view the certification of Reddit at the following webpage: https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt0000000TNjOAAW&status=Active. Regarding these matters, Reddit is represented in the European Union by by Reddit Ireland Limited (c/o Matheson Attn: Reddit EU Data Inquiries
Taboola Conversion
We use the analysis and tracking functions of “Taboola” of Taboola, Inc. (Taboola, Inc., 16 Madison Square West, 7th Floor, New York, New York 10010; hereinafter “Taboola”) on our websites. For the use of “Taboola”, we use in particular the so-called “Taboola pixel” for the analysis of the use of our website and our advertisements on Internet sites, e.g. on Taboola partner websites, the interactions made by users on our website and Internet sites as well as the reach measurement of our advertisements. With the help of the “pixels” – small graphics which are simultaneously integrated on our website, are automatically loaded when you visit our website and enable tracking of user behaviour – your browser automatically establishes a direct connection with the “Taboola” server. If you reach our website via one of our advertisements, which is played out on a Taboola partner website, “Taboola” will store a cookie on your end device. With the help of the cookies, “Taboola” processes the information generated by your end device about interactions with our advertising material (call up of a specific Internet page, click on an advertising material) and, in part, the data mentioned in the section “Use of our website” for the purpose of analysing the reach measurement of our advertisements. In addition, by analyzing the click-through rates of our advertisements, we may measure the rate of users who have performed a particular action on our site, such as ordering goods or services. If no “Taboola” cookie was previously set in your terminal device (e.g. during a direct visit to our website without prior use of a Taboola partner website), the Taboola pixel does not process any data about you as a visitor to our website. “Taboola” also processes the data in the USA. We have concluded so-called standard contract clauses with “Taboola”, which we will be happy to provide you with on request. The legal basis for the processing of your data is Art. 6 para. 1 line 1 lit. f) DSGVO. Our legitimate interests in the processing are the statistical analysis of website usage, coverage measurement and the optimisation of our advertisements as well as the traceability and improvement of the expenditure of our advertising costs. The storage period at “Taboola” is 18 months. You can find further information on data protection and the storage period at “Taboola” at: https://policies.taboola.com/en/privacy-policy/
You can lodge an objection to the processing. Your right of objection exists for reasons arising from your particular situation. You can opt out of the processing by clicking on the Opt-Out button at https://policies.taboola.com/en/privacy-policy/. You can also prevent the use of cookies by deactivating cookies in the settings of your browser software or by opening the browser in “private mode”.
