2.Subject matter of data protection

The subject matter of data protection is personal data. Under Article 4(1) GDPR, this means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person; this comprises, for example, names or identification numbers.

When you access our website, your device will automatically transmit data for technical reasons. These data will be stored separately from other data that you may transmit to us:

• – date and time of the access,
• – browser type/version,
• – operating system used,
• – URL of the previously visited website,
• – IP address (truncated by one octet)

This data is stored exclusively for technical reasons and will never be assigned to any specific person.

We will store your support requests for a period of 120 days from completion of your request, in order to ensure that your request has been successfully processed, and to enable us to understand which problems may have occurred in the past in the event of subsequent requests that may help with solving your request.

We collect and process your data in order to answer your support request and in order to ensure defect-free operation of our product for you, Article 6(1) point (b) GDPR. If you contact us independently of a specific support request or a technical issue, we will collect and process your personal data based on our legitimate interest in being able to answer email queries and due to the fact that your interests are not overriding, Article 6(1) point (f) GDPR.

We specifically use the following cookies:

• – cookies from Firebase;
• – a cookie from Google Ads to measure success of Google Ads;
• – two cookies from Google Analytics for statistical evaluation of the use of the website and for improvement of our offer;
• – a cookie to record whether you have already confirmed the cookie notice with OK;
• – a cookie to determine whether the non-standard Authenticator that are used on the website have been loaded.

These cookies cannot identify you as a person. In any case, use of cookies is justified based on our legitimate interest in demand-oriented design, as well as statistical evaluation of our website, and the fact that your legitimate interests are not overriding, Article 6(1) point (f) GDPR.

6.1. If necessary, to investigate illegal use of our services, or for prosecution, personal data will be passed on to the law-enforcement authorities and potentially to harmed third parties. However, this will only be the case if there are any specific indications of illegal or abusive behavior. Data may also be passed on if this serves to enforce terms and conditions of use or other agreements. We are also legally required to provide information to certain public bodies on request. These are law-enforcement authorities, public authorities that pursue administrative offences subject to fines and the tax authorities.

These data are passed on based on our legitimate interest in fighting abuse, prosecuting criminal offences and the securing, assertion and enforcement of claims and that your rights and interests in protection of your personal data are not overriding, Article 6(1) point (f) GDPR or based on a legal obligation in accordance with Article 6(1) point (c) GDPR.

6.2. We depend on contractually bound third-party companies and external service providers for rendering our services (“Data Processors”). In such cases, personal data will be passed on to such Data Processors in order to permit further processing by them. We select our Data Processors with care and review them at regular intervals to ensure that your rights and freedoms are respected. The Data Processors must only use the data for the purposes specified by us, and are furthermore contractually obligated by us to treat your data only in accordance with this Privacy Policy, and the applicable data protection laws.

In detail, we use the following Data Processors:

• – OLYMPIC s.r.o. (support requests via SupportBox)
• – Google LLC (Google Analytics, Google Ads, reCaptcha v3, Firebase)

Data is passed on to Processors based on Article 28(1) GDPR, alternatively based on our legitimate interest in economic and technical advantages connected to the use of specialized processors, and the fact that your rights and interests in protection of your personal data are not overriding, Article 6(1) point (f) GDPR.

6.3. We also process your data in states outside of the European Economic Area (“EEA”).
