Overview of the global privacy landscape

The following is a list (not exhaustive) of countries with international data privacy laws currently in effect or under development:

European Union: General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)

United States of America: California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). A list of the status of federal US privacy laws can be accessed here: https://iapp.org/resources/article/us-state-privacy-legislation-tracker/

Brazil: General Data Protection Law

South Africa: Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA)

Canada: Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA)

India: Personal Data Protection Bill 2019 (PDP Bill 2019)

United Kingdom: Data Protection Act 2018 (based on GDPR)

We are a small company (two people) based in Germany with a potentially international customer base for our products and services. We strive to make this Privacy Policy consistent with the privacy laws of the countries in which we expect to serve our customers.

According to https://gdpr.eu/: "The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is the toughest privacy and security law in the world".

We ensure that we fully comply with the requirements of the GDPR.

Although we are fully compliant with the GDPR, there may still be laws in other countries that may apply to you. Our Privacy Policy is intended to make clear that we are very serious about protecting Your privacy. If you are still not satisfied with how we handle Your data, please just contact us. We are happy to cooperate.

How about the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA)?

While our main focus is to comply with the strict GDPR privacy law we also make sure that we do not violate The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) despite the fact that it does not apply to us as a small business which does not sell or rent any personal data and does not store and process personal data of at least fifty thousand Californians per year.

The main differences between GDPR and CCPA are as follows:

GDPR: The GDPR protects data subjects, defined as “an identified or identifiable natural person” which can be any person and not only EU residents or citizens. GDPR requires prior consent based on a legal basis before storing and processing of individual personal information which can include sensitive personal data.

CCPA: The CCPA gives certain rights to consumers, defined as “a natural person who is a California resident” which excludes any individual who are not citizen or residents of the State of California. CCPA is about having the option to opt-out of any storage and processing of personal data which is not specific to an individual but includes household data.

In compliance with the CCPA, we expressly do not sell or rent any of your personal (household) data to others, including third parties.

Please refer to this PDF document for a more detailed comparison of the GDPR and CCPA: https://fpf.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/GDPR_CCPA_Comparison-Guide.pdf

Essential legal basis in the context of GDPR

We process personal data on the basis of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The following list gives you an overview of the essential privacy related legal basis of the affected and responsible person. Please note that in addition to the GDPR, national data protection regulations may apply for your country. If more specific legal rights are relevant in individual cases, You will be informed about those in the privacy policy.

Consent (Art. 6 Abs. 1 S.1 lit. a. GDPR) The person affected has given his/her consent to the processing of their personal data for a specific purpose.

Fulfilement of the contract and pre-contractual requests (Art. 6 Abs. 1 S. 1 lit. b. GDPR) The processing is necessary for the fulfilment of a contract or for the execution of pre-contractual measures taken at the request of the affected person.

Legal Obligation (Art. 6 Abs. 1 S. 1 lit. c. GDPR) The processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which the person responsible is liable.

Legitimate interests (Art. 6 Abs. 1 S. 1 lit. f. GDPR) The processing is necessary for the protection of the legitimate interests of the affected person or a third party unless fundamental rights and the right to freedom, which require the protection of personal data, prevail.

In addition to the data protection regulations of the GDPR, national regulations on data protection apply in Germany. Furthermore, specific data protection laws of the individual german federal states may apply as well.

Social media channels

Data processing via social networks:

We maintain publicly accessible profiles in various social networks. The individual social networks we use are listed below.

Social networks such as Facebook, Instagram, etc. generally have the ability to comprehensively analyse your user behaviour when you visit their websites or sites with integrated social media content (e.g. like buttons or banner advertisements). Visiting our social media presences will trigger a number of processes which are relevant to data privacy.

In detail: When You log in to your social media account and visit Us on this social media platform, the operator of this social media portal has the ability to associate this visit with your user account. However your personal data can also under certain circumstances be detected even if you are not logged in or do not possess an account with the social media portal in question. In such cases these data can be acquired for example via cookies which are stored on your terminal device, or by acquiring your IP address.

With the aid of data acquired in this way, the social media portal operator can create user profiles in which your preferences and interests are stored. In this way, advertising tailored to your interests can be displayed to you both within and outside of the respective social media presence. If you have an account with the social network in question, advertisements tailored to your interests can be displayed on all devices to which you are or have been logged in.

Please also note that we are unable to replicate all data processing activities on social media portals. Dependent on the provider, it may be that other processes are performed by social media portal operators. For details please refer to the terms of use and data privacy policies of the respective social media portals.

Legal basis:

Our social media appearances are intended to guarantee an Internet presence which is as comprehensive as possible. This constitutes a Legitimate interests in the context of Art. 6 Abs. 1 S. 1 lit. f. GDPR. The analytical processes initiated by the social networks may have deviating bases in law which must be specified by the social network operators (e.g. Consent in the context of Art. 6 Abs. 1 S.1 lit. a. GDPR).

Controllers and the assertion of rights:

When you visit one of our social media appearances (e.g. X/Twitter), we are jointly responsible as data controllers in the context of GDPR together with the operator of the social media platform for the data processing activities triggered by your visit. You may assert your rights (to information, rectification, erasure, restricted processing, data portability and objection) both against us and against the operator of the social media portal (e.g. against Twitter).

Please note that despite sharing joint responsibility with the social media portal operator, we as a small German company with two employees have no comprehensive influence over the data processing activities conducted by social media "giants" such as Twitter and co. The opportunities open to us are essentially dependent on the corporate policy of the respective social media provider.

Period of storage:

Data acquired directly by us via our social media presence are erased from our systems as soon as the purpose for which they are stored ceases to apply, or when you request us to erase them. Cookies will remain stored on your terminal device until you delete them. Mandatory legal requirements – in particular specified storage periods – remain unaffected.

We have no influence over the duration for which data held by social network operators are stored for their own purposes. For details please refer directly to the social network operators (for example, you may consult their privacy policies, see below).
