b) The purpose of processing and lawful basis

We use the collected data to provide contractual services and customer support, deliver and optimize the content of our Services correctly and to ensure the long-term viability and technical security of our systems. This purpose constitutes our legitimate interest in data processing pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 f GDPR. Please see the Lawful Basis Glossary at the end of this notice for more information.

We use the information regarding your location to provide and maintain our Service and to provide features of our Service. The lawful basis for such processing is Art. 6 para. 1 f GDPR.

Personal data that you voluntarily submit to us, e.g. via email or a contact form, will be stored for the purpose of processing or for contacting you. The lawful basis for such processing is Art. 6 para. 1 f GDPR.

c) Sharing your data

We will share your data with third parties who store your data on their servers. The types of third parties with whom we share your data include:
● IT service providers: including cloud providers for data storage purposes;
● External support service providers;
● Public bodies if the appropriate statutory provisions exist (e.g. tax authorities and customs authorities) on the basis of Art. 6 para 1 c UK GDPR.

d) Duration of storage

The duration of the data storage depends on the statutory storage obligations (for example where we need to retain data for tax purposes it will be kept for 6 years).

3.2 Cookies

Cookies are text files which are stored on a computer system via an internet browser. Cookies are primarily used to store information about a user during or after his visit within an online service. The information stored can include, for example, the language settings on a website, the login status or a shopping basket. The term “cookies” also includes other technologies that fulfil the same functions as cookies (e.g. if user information is stored using pseudonymous online identifiers, also referred to as
“user IDs”).

a) The following types and functions of cookies are distinguished:
  • Temporary cookies (also: session cookies): Temporary cookies are deleted at the latest after a user has left an online service and closed his browser.
  • Permanent cookies: Permanent cookies remain stored even after closing the browser. For example, the login status can be saved or preferred content can be displayed directly when the user visits a website again. The interests of users who are used for range measurement or marketing purposes can also be stored in such a cookie.
  • First-Party-Cookies: First-Party-Cookies are set by ourselves. Third party cookies: Third party cookies are mainly used by advertisers (so-called third parties) to process user information.
  • Necessary (also: essential) cookies: Cookies can be necessary for the operation of a website (e.g. to save logins or other user inputs or for security reasons).
  • Statistics, marketing and personalisation cookies : Cookies are also generally used to measure a website’s reach and when a user’s interests or behaviour (e.g. viewing certain content, using functions, etc.) are stored on individual websites in a user profile. Such profiles are used, for example, to display content to users that corresponds to their
    potential interests. This procedure is also referred to as “tracking”, i.e. tracking the potential interests of users. If we use cookies or “tracking” technologies, we will inform you separately in our privacy notice or in the context of obtaining consent.
b) Lawful basis for the use of cookies

The lawful basis on which we process your Personal Data with the help of cookies depends on whether we ask you for your consent. If this applies and you consent to the use of cookies, the lawful basis for processing your data is your declared consent. Otherwise, the data processed with the help of cookies will be processed on the basis of our legitimate interests (e.g. in a business operation of our online service and its improvement) or, if the use of cookies is necessary to fulfil our contractual obligations.

c) Duration of storage

Unless we provide you with explicit information on the retention period of permanent cookies (e.g. within the scope of a cookie “opt-in”), the retention period can be up to two years.

d) General information on withdrawal of consent and objection (Opt-Out)

Respective of whether processing is based on consent or legal permission, you have the option at any time to object to the processing of your data using cookie technologies or to revoke consent (collectively referred to as “opt-out”). You can initially explain your objection using the settings of your browser, e.g. by deactivating the use of cookies (which may also restrict the functionality of our Services).

e) Processing Cookie Data on the Basis of Consent

We use a cookie management solution in which users’ consent to the use of cookies, or the procedures and providers mentioned in the cookie management solution, can be obtained, managed and revoked by the users. The declaration of consent is stored so that it does not have to be retrieved again and the consent can be proven in accordance with the legal obligation.

3.3 Processing of customer/ prospective customer data

a) Data concerned

When you create a customer or user account via our Services or if you engage with us in associated contractual or pre-contractual actions and communications we will collect the following data from you:

  • Identity data (e.g. name, addresses);
  • Contact data (e.g. e-mail, telephone numbers);
  • Delivery and invoice address;
  • Payment data (e.g. credit card, paypal, invoices, payment history, etc);
  • Usage data (e.g. websites visited, interest in content)
  • Meta/communication data (e.g. device information, IP address).
b) The purpose of processing and lawful basis

We process the data of our customers or prospective customers in order to enable them to select, purchase or order the selected products, goods and related services, as well as their payment, for delivery, performance or other services. For the processing of payment transactions we use the services of banks and payment service providers. The required details are identified as such in the course of the ordering or comparable purchasing process and include the details required for delivery, or other way of making the product available and invoicing as well as contact information in order to be able to hold any consultation.

The lawful basis for this is performance of a contract and prior requests (Article 6 para 1 lit. b UK GDPR), Compliance with a legal obligation (Article 6 para 1 c UK GDPR), Legitimate Interests (Article 6 para 1 f UK GDPR).

c) Sharing your data

We will share your data with third parties who store your data on their servers. The types of third parties with whom we share your data include:

  • external service providers or other contractors (e.g. for data processing and hosting, for order processing and execution, payment providers, feedback and survey providers, customer service and call centers;
  • other external bodies, provided that the data subject has given his or her consent or if transmission is permitted for reasons of overriding interest, e.g. for creditworthiness information, for the electronic transmission of information, for quality assurance purposes on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 a and f UK GDPR;
    ● Public bodies if the appropriate statutory provisions exist (e.g. tax authorities and customs authorities) on the basis of Art. 6 para 1 c UK GDPR.

Information that you provide to payment service providers in the context of payment processing will not be passed on to us by them. We only receive the information that a payment transaction has been successful.

d) Duration of storage

We delete the data after expiry of statutory warranty and comparable obligations, i.e. in principle after expiry of 4 years, unless the data is stored in a customer account or must be kept for legal reasons (e.g., 6 years when necessary for tax purposes).

If you terminate your customer account, your data will be deleted with regard to the customer account, subject to retention being required for legal reasons.

e) Single Sign-on Authentication

“Single Sign-On” or “Single Sign-On Authentication or Logon” are procedures that allow users to log in to our online services using a user account with a provider of Single Sign-On services (e.g. a social network). The prerequisite for Single Sign-On Authentication is that users are registered with the respective Single Sign-On provider and enter the required access data in the online form provided for this purpose, or are already logged in with the Single Sign-On provider and confirm the Single Sign-On login via the button.

Authentication takes place directly with the respective single sign-on provider. Within the scope of such authentication, we receive a user ID with the information that the user is logged in with the respective single sign-on provider under this user ID and an ID that cannot be used for other purposes (so-called “user handle”). Whether we receive further data depends solely on the single sign-on procedure used, the data releases selected as part of authentication and also which data users have released in the privacy or other settings of the user account with the single sign-on provider. Depending on the single sign-on provider and the user’s choice, there can be different data, usually the e-mail address and the user name. The password entered by the single sign-on provider as part of the single sign-on procedure is neither visible to us nor is it stored by us.

Users are requested to note that their data stored with us may be automatically connected with their user account with the single sign-on provider, but this is not always possible. If, for example, the e-mail addresses of users change, users must change these manually in their user account with us.

We can use single sign-on authentication, provided that it has been agreed with users in the context of pre-fulfilment or fulfilment of the contract, in the context of consent processing and otherwise use it on the basis of our legitimate interests and the interests of users in an effective and secure authentication system.

Should users decide to no longer want to use the link of their user account with the Single Sign-On provider for the Single Sign-On procedure, they must remove this link within their user account with the Single Sign-On provider.

  1. DATA TRANSMISSION WITHIN THE GROUP OF COMPANIES, MERGER, JOINT VENTURE

a) We may transfer Personal Data to other companies within our group of companies or otherwise grant them access to this data. Insofar as this disclosure is for administrative purposes, the disclosure of the data is based on our legitimate business and economic interests or otherwise, if it is necessary to fulfill our contractual obligations or if the consent of the data subjects or otherwise a legal permission is present.

b) We only share your data with our personnel and with personnel of other companies of the Gamify group if this is necessary for the purposes described above.

c) We may also share your data if we should enter into a joint venture, buy, sell or merge with another company. In such a case, your data may be shared with the target company, our new business partners or owners or their advisors.

5. INTERNATIONAL DATA TRANSMISSION

In some cases, the Personal Data collected from you may be processed outside the UK. These countries may not have the same level of data protection as the UK. However, we are obliged to ensure that the Personal Data processed by us and our partners outside the UK are protected in the same way as if they were processed within the UK. Therefore, if your data is processed outside the UK, there are certain safeguards in place. We ensure similar protection by ensuring that at least one of the following safeguards is in place:
