Data protection

Data protection

1. Introduction

In the following we inform you about the processing of personal data when using

  • our website https://upreach.com
  • our social media profiles.

Personal data is all data that can be related to a specific natural person, such as their name or IP address.

1.1. Contact details

The controller pursuant to Art. 4 (7) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is UpReach GmbH, Keithstraße 2-4, 10787 Berlin, Germany, email: mail@upreach.com. We are legally represented by Danny Fandrich.

Our data protection officer is heyData GmbH, Kantstr. 99, 10627 Berlin, www.heydata.eu, email: datenschutz@heydata.eu.

1.2. Scope of data processing, processing purposes and legal bases

The scope of data processing, processing purposes, and legal bases are explained in detail below. The following generally serve as legal bases for data processing:

  • Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent.
  • Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR serves as the legal basis if the processing of personal data is necessary to fulfill a contract, e.g., if a website visitor purchases a product from us or we provide a service for them. This legal basis also applies to processing necessary for pre-contractual measures, such as inquiries about our products or services.
  • Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR applies if we fulfil a legal obligation by processing personal data, as may be the case, for example, in tax law.
  • Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR serves as the legal basis if we can rely on legitimate interests to process personal data, e.g. for cookies that are necessary for the technical operation of our website.

1.3. Data processing outside the EEA

To the extent that we transmit data to service providers or other third parties outside the EEA, the security of the data during transmission is guaranteed by adequacy decisions of the EU Commission (Article 45 (3) GDPR), where available (e.g. for Great Britain, Canada and Israel).

If no adequacy decision exists (e.g., for the USA), the legal basis for data transfer is usually standard contractual clauses, unless we indicate otherwise. These are a set of rules adopted by the EU Commission and part of the contract with the respective third party. According to Art. 46 (2) (b) GDPR, they guarantee the security of data transfer. Many providers have provided contractual guarantees that go beyond the standard contractual clauses and protect the data. These include, for example, guarantees regarding data encryption or regarding the third party's obligation to notify data subjects if law enforcement authorities wish to access data.

1.4. Storage period

Unless expressly stated in this privacy policy, the data stored by us will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required for its intended purpose and there are no statutory retention periods that prevent deletion. If the data is not deleted because it is required for other legally permissible purposes, its processing will be restricted, i.e., the data will be blocked and not processed for other purposes. This applies, for example, to data that we are required to retain for commercial or tax law reasons.

1.5. Rights of data subjects

Data subjects have the following rights with regard to their personal data:

  • Right to information,
  • Right to rectification or erasure,
  • Right to restriction of processing,
  • Right to object to processing,
  • Right to data portability,
  • Right to withdraw consent at any time.

Data subjects also have the right to complain to a data protection supervisory authority about the processing of their personal data. Contact details of the data protection supervisory authorities can be found at https://www.bfdi.bund.de/DE/Service/Anschriften/Laender/Laender-node.html.

1.6. Obligation to provide data

Within the scope of a business relationship or other relationship, customers, interested parties, or third parties must only provide us with the personal data that is necessary for establishing, conducting, and terminating the business relationship or other relationship, or that we are legally obligated to collect. Without this data, we will generally have to refuse to conclude a contract or provide a service, or we will no longer be able to fulfill an existing contract or other relationship.

Mandatory information is marked as such.

1.7. No automatic decision-making in individual cases

As a general rule, we do not use fully automated decision-making in accordance with Article 22 GDPR to establish and conduct a business or other relationship. Should we use these procedures in individual cases, we will inform you separately if required by law.

1.8. Contact

When you contact us, e.g., by email or telephone, the data you provide (e.g., names and email addresses) will be stored by us to answer your questions. The legal basis for this processing is our legitimate interest (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR) in answering inquiries addressed to us. We delete the data collected in this context once storage is no longer required, or restrict processing if statutory retention periods apply.

1.9. Customer surveys

From time to time, we conduct customer surveys to better understand our customers and their needs. We collect the requested data in each case. It is our legitimate interest to get to know our customers and their needs better, so the legal basis for the associated data processing is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. We delete the data once the survey results have been evaluated.

2nd Newsletter

We reserve the right to inform customers who have already used our services or purchased goods from us from time to time by email or other electronic means about our offers, unless they have objected. The legal basis for this data processing is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in direct advertising (Recital 47 GDPR). Customers can object to the use of their email address for advertising purposes at any time at no additional cost, for example, via the link at the end of each email or by emailing us at the email address stated above.

Interested parties have the option of subscribing to a free newsletter. We process the data provided during registration solely for sending the newsletter. Registration takes place by selecting the corresponding box on our website, by checking the corresponding box in a paper document, or by another clear action, whereby interested parties declare their consent to the processing of their data. The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. Consent can be revoked at any time, e.g., by clicking the corresponding link in the newsletter or by sending a note to the email address provided above. The processing of data up to the point of revocation remains lawful, even in the event of revocation.

Based on the consent of the recipients (Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. a GDPR), we also measure the opening and click rate of our newsletters in order to understand which content is relevant to our recipients.

We send newsletters using the HubSpot tool provided by HubSpot, Inc., 25 1st Street, Cambridge, MA 0214, USA (privacy policy: https://legal.hubspot.com/de/privacy-policy). The provider processes content, usage, meta/communication data, and contact data in the EU.

3. Data processing on our website

3.1. Informational use of the website

When visitors use the website for informational purposes, i.e., when they do not provide us with separate information, we collect the personal data that the browser transmits to our server to ensure the stability and security of our website. This is our legitimate interest, and the legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

These data are:

  • IP Address
  • Date and time of the request
  • Time zone difference to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT)
  • Content of the request (specific page)
  • Access status/HTTP status code
  • amount of data transferred
  • Website from which the request comes
  • Browser
  • Operating system and its interface
  • Language and version of the browser software.

This data is also stored in log files. It is deleted when its storage is no longer required, at the latest after 14 days.

3.2. Web hosting and provision of the website

Our website is hosted by Webflow, Inc., 398 11th St., Floor 2, San Francisco, CA 94103, USA. The provider processes the personal data transmitted via the website, e.g., content, usage, meta/communication data, or contact data, in the USA. Further information can be found in the provider's privacy policy at https://webflow.com/legal/eu-privacy-policy.

It is our legitimate interest to provide a website, so the legal basis for the data processing described is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

The legal basis for transferring data to a country outside the EEA is standard contractual clauses. The security of data transferred to the third country (i.e., a country outside the EEA) is guaranteed by standard data protection clauses issued in accordance with the review procedure pursuant to Art. 93 (2) GDPR (Art. 46 (2) (c) GDPR), which we have agreed with the provider.

3.3 Contact form

When you contact us via the contact form on our website, we save the data requested there and the content of the message. The legal basis for this processing is our legitimate interest in answering inquiries addressed to us. The legal basis for this processing is therefore Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. We delete the data collected in this context once storage is no longer required, or restrict processing if statutory retention periods apply.

3.4. Job advertisements

We advertise vacancies within our company on our website, on pages linked to the website, or on third-party websites. The data provided as part of the application is processed to carry out the application process. Insofar as this data is necessary for our decision to establish an employment relationship, the legal basis is Art. 88 (1) GDPR in conjunction with Section 26 (1) BDSG. We have marked the data required to carry out the application process accordingly or refer to it. If applicants do not provide this data, we cannot process the application. Further data is voluntary and not required for an application. If applicants provide further information, the basis is their consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR).

We ask applicants to refrain from providing information about political opinions, religious beliefs, and similarly sensitive data in their CV and cover letter. This information is not required for an application. If applicants do provide such information, we cannot prevent it from being processed when processing their CV or cover letter. In this case, the processing is also based on the applicant's consent (Art. 9 (2) (a) GDPR).

Finally, we process applicants' data for further application procedures if they have given us their consent. In this case, the legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR.

We pass on applicants' data to the responsible employees in the human resources department, to our contract processors in the recruiting department and to the other employees involved in the application process.

If we enter into an employment relationship with the applicant following the application process, we will only delete the data after the employment relationship has ended. Otherwise, we will delete the data no later than six months after rejecting an applicant.

If applicants have given us their consent to use their data for further application procedures, we will only delete their data one year after receiving the application.

Services

We offer goods and services through our website. When you place an order, we process the following data:

The legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR, as it is necessary for the performance of the contract.

3.6. Payment service providers

To process payments, we use Stripe Payments Europe, Ltd., Ireland, which is itself responsible for data protection within the meaning of Art. 4 No. 7 GDPR.

4. Data processing on social media platforms

We are represented on social media networks to present our company and our services there. The operators of these networks regularly process their users' data for advertising purposes. Among other things, they create user profiles from their online behavior, which are used, for example, to show advertising on the network pages and elsewhere on the Internet that corresponds to the users' interests. For this purpose, the network operators store information on usage behavior in cookies on the user's computer. It cannot be ruled out that the operators will combine this information with other data. Further information and instructions on how users can object to processing by the website operators can be found in the data protection declarations of the respective operators listed below. It is also possible that the operators or their servers are located in non-EU countries, meaning that they process data there. This can result in risks for users, e.g. because the enforcement of their rights is made more difficult or government authorities gain access to the data.

When network users contact us via our profiles, we process the data provided to us to answer their inquiries. This is our legitimate interest, so the legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

Facebook explains exactly which data is processed at https://www.facebook.com/legal/terms/information_about_page_insights_data.
