III Purposes and legal bases of data processing

  1. accessing and visiting our website – server log files

For the purpose of the technical provision of the website, it is necessary for us to process certain information automatically transmitted by your browser so that our website can be displayed in your browser and you can use the website. This information is automatically collected each time you visit our website and automatically stored in so-called server log files. These are

            -Browser type and browser version

            -Operating system used

-Website         from which the access is made (referrer URL)

-Host name     of the accessing computer

-Date   and time of access

-IP address     of the requesting computer

The storage of the aforementioned access data is necessary for technical reasons in order to provide a functional website and to ensure system security. This also applies to the storage of your IP address, which is necessary and, under further conditions, can at least theoretically enable an assignment to your person. In addition to the aforementioned purposes, we use server log files exclusively for the needs-based design and optimization of our website purely statistically and without drawing any conclusions about your person. This data is not merged with other data sources, nor is it analyzed for marketing purposes.

The access data collected as part of the use of our website is only stored for the period for which this data is required to achieve the aforementioned purposes. Your IP address is stored on our web server for a maximum of 7 days for IT security purposes.

If you visit our website to find out about our range of products and services or to use them, the basis for the temporary storage and processing of access data is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR (legal basis), which permits the processing of data for the performance of a contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In addition, Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR serves as the legal basis for the temporary storage of technical access data. Our legitimate interest here is to be able to provide you with a technically functioning and user-friendly website and to ensure the security of our systems.

  1. use of cookies and associated functions/technologies

We sometimes use so-called cookies on our website. Cookies do not damage your computer and do not contain viruses. Cookies are used to make our website more user-friendly, effective and secure and to enable the provision of certain functions. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and saved by your browser. A cookie contains a characteristic string of characters that enables your browser to be uniquely identified when you return to the website.

Most of the cookies we use are so-called “session cookies”. They are automatically deleted at the end of your visit or browser session (so-called transient cookies). Other cookies remain stored on your end device for a specified period of time or until you delete them (persistent cookies). These cookies enable us to recognize your browser on your next visit. We are happy to provide further information on the functional cookies used upon written request. Please use the contact details above.

You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. You can regularly obtain the procedure for deactivating cookies via the “Help” function of your Internet browser. If cookies are deactivated, the functionality and/or full availability of this website may be restricted. For further cookie-specific setting and deactivation options, please also see the individual explanations below on the specific cookies and associated functions/technologies used when visiting our website.

Some of the cookies we use on our website come from third parties who help us to analyze the impact of our website content and the interests of our visitors, to measure the performance of our website or to place needs-based advertising and other content on our or other websites. As part of our website, we use both first party cookies (only visible from the domain you are currently visiting) and third party cookies (visible across domains and regularly set by third parties).

The cookie-based data processing is carried out on the basis of your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR (legal basis) or on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR (legal basis) to safeguard our legitimate interests. Our legitimate interests lie in particular in being able to provide you with a technically optimized, user-friendly and needs-based website and to ensure the security of our systems. You can revoke any consent you have given us at any time, e.g. by deactivating the cookie-based tools/plugins listed in detail in the following overview. By making the appropriate settings, you can also object to processing based on legitimate interests.

In detail, the following cookie-based tools/plugins are used on this website:

Use of Google Analytics

We use the web analysis service Google Analytics from Google Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland; “Google”) on our website.
 The data processing serves the purpose of analyzing this website and its visitors as well as for marketing and advertising purposes. For this purpose, Google will use the information obtained on behalf of the operator of this website to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services relating to website activity and internet usage to the website operator. The following information may be collected: IP address, date and time of the page view, click path, information about the browser you are using and the device you are using, pages visited, referrer URL (website from which you accessed our website), location data, purchase activities. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.
 Google Analytics uses technologies such as cookies, web storage in the browser and tracking pixels that enable your use of the website to be analyzed. The information generated about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. There is no adequacy decision by the EU Commission for the USA. The data transfer takes place on the basis of standard contractual clauses as suitable guarantees for the protection of personal data, which can be viewed at: https://policies.google.com/privacy/frameworks and https://business.safety.google/adsprocessorterms/. Both Google and US state authorities have access to your data. Your data may be linked by Google with other data, such as your search history, your personal accounts, your usage data from other devices and all other data that Google has about you.
 IP anonymization is activated on this website. This means that your IP address will be shortened
by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there.
The use of cookies or comparable technologies takes place with your consent on the basis of § 25 para. 1 sentence 1 TTDSG i.V.m. Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. The processing of your personal data takes place with your consent on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. You can withdraw your consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
You can find more information on terms of use and data protection at https://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html or at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/ and at https://policies.google.com/technologies/cookies?hl=de.

Use of Google Fonts

We use so-called web fonts (“Google Fonts”) from the provider Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA, to improve the visual appearance of the font. These are provided by Google (https://fonts.google.com/). For this purpose, your browser loads the required web font into your browser cache when you visit our website. If your browser does not support this function, the text will be displayed in a standard font.

You can set your browser so that the fonts are not loaded from the Google servers, e.g. by installing add-ons such as NoScript or Ghostery for Firefox. If your browser does not support Google Fonts or you prevent access to the Google servers, the text will be displayed in the system’s default font. Further information on Google Web Fonts can be found at https://policies.google.com/terms?hl=en.

General information on data protection at Google can be found at https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de-DE, information on Google Fonts and data protection can be found at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq#Privacy.

This data processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR to protect our legitimate interests, namely the optimization of our offer.

  1. making contact; use of chatbots

If you contact us via one of the contact options provided in this privacy policy or in the imprint or via our contact form, your details and the contact data you provide (e.g. name, e-mail address) will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the request and in the event of follow-up questions. We do not pass this data on to third parties.

We will delete your request(s) and your contact details once your request has been finally answered. Your data will generally be stored for 6 months and deleted after this period, unless you send us follow-up inquiries or we need to process the data for other purposes.

This data processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR in conjunction with the consent you have given.

We use chatbots to communicate with you. Chatbots are able to respond to your questions and other input without human assistance. In addition to your input, the chatbots analyze other data to provide suitable answers (e.g. names, email addresses and other contact details, customer numbers and other identifiers, orders and chat histories). Your IP address, log files, location information and other metadata may also be collected via the chatbot. This data is stored on the chatbot provider’s servers.

User profiles can be created on the basis of the data collected. The data can also be used to display interest-based advertising, provided that the other legal requirements (in particular consent) are met. For this purpose, the chatbots can be linked to analysis and advertising tools.

The data collected can also be used to improve our chatbots and their response behavior (machine learning).

The data entered by you in the course of communication will remain with us or the chatbot operator until you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.

The legal basis for the use of chatbots is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR, insofar as the chatbot is used to initiate a contract or in the context of contract fulfillment. If a corresponding consent has been requested, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR; the consent can be revoked at any time. In all other cases, the use is based on our overriding legitimate interest in the most effective customer communication possible (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR).

We use the following chatbots:

Intercom

If you contact us via the messenger service Intercom, data will be processed by “Intercom” (Intercom, Inc., 98 Battery Street, Suite 402, San Francisco, CA 94111 USA and 2nd Floor, Stephen Court, 18-21 Saint Stephen’s Green, Dublin 2, hereinafter “Intercom”). We would like to point out that no level of data protection comparable to that in the EU can be guaranteed in the USA. For example, US companies are obliged to disclose personal data to security authorities without you as the data subject being able to take legal action against this. It can therefore not be ruled out that US authorities (e.g. secret services) may process, evaluate and permanently store your data on US servers for surveillance purposes. We have no influence on these processing activities.

Further information on data processing by “intercom” can be found at: https://www.intercom.com/de/terms-and-policies.

4 Conclusion of contract and payment

In the context of concluding a contract with us, we process the following personal data from you: Surname, first name, address, e-mail address, telephone number, payment data.

We use this data exclusively for the purpose of executing the contract and the necessary communication with you in this respect. This includes the initiation, conclusion, processing, warranty and, if necessary, the reversal of the contract. The data will be stored by us until the contract has been fully executed. Insofar as commercial and tax retention periods exist, the storage period may be up to 10 years.

This data processing is necessary for the performance of the contract between you and us. The legal basis for this data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR.

Stripe

If you choose a payment method from the payment service provider Stripe, the payment will be processed via the payment service provider Stripe Payments Europe Ltd, 1 Grand Canal Street Lower, Grand Canal Dock, Dublin, Ireland, to whom we will pass on the information you provide during the ordering process together with the information about your order (name, address, account number, bank code, credit card number if applicable, invoice amount, currency and transaction number) in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR. You can find more information about Stripe’s data protection at https://stripe.com/de

Stripe reserves the right to carry out a credit check on the basis of mathematical-statistical procedures in order to safeguard its legitimate interest in determining the user’s solvency. Stripe may transmit the personal data necessary for a credit check and received in the course of payment processing to selected credit agencies, which Stripe discloses to users on request. The credit report may contain probability values (so-called score values). Insofar as score values are included in the result of the credit report, these are based on a scientifically recognized mathematical-statistical procedure. The calculation of the score values includes, but is not limited to, address data. Stripe uses the result of the credit check with regard to the statistical probability of non-payment for the purpose of deciding on the authorization to use the selected payment method.

You can object to this processing of your data at any time by sending a message to Stripe or the commissioned credit agencies.

However, Stripe may still be entitled to process your personal data if this is necessary for contractual payment processing.

Apple Pay

If you opt for the “Apple Pay” payment method from Apple Distribution International (Apple), Hollyhill Industrial Estate, Hollyhill, Cork, Ireland, payment will be processed via the “Apple Pay” function of your device operated with iOS, watchOS or macOS by charging a payment card stored with “Apple Pay”. Apple Pay uses security functions that are integrated into the hardware and software of your device to protect your transactions. To authorize a payment, you must therefore enter a code that you have previously defined and verify it using the Face ID or Touch ID function on your device.

For the purpose of payment processing, the information you provide during the order process, together with information about your order, will be forwarded to Apple in encrypted form. Apple then encrypts this data again with a developer-specific key before the data is transmitted to the payment service provider of the payment card stored in Apple Pay to process the payment. The encryption ensures that only the website through which the purchase was made can access the payment data. After the payment has been made, Apple sends your device account number and a transaction-specific, dynamic security code to the source website to confirm the success of the payment.

If personal data is processed during the described transfers, the processing is carried out exclusively for the purpose of payment processing in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR.

Apple retains anonymized transaction data, including the approximate purchase amount, approximate date and time, and whether the transaction was successfully completed. Anonymization completely excludes any personal reference. Apple uses the anonymized data to improve Apple Pay and other Apple products and services.

When you use Apple Pay on your iPhone or Apple Watch to complete a purchase made via Safari on your Mac, the Mac and the authorization device communicate via an encrypted channel on Apple’s servers. Apple does not process or store any of this information in a format that can be used to identify you. You can disable the ability to use Apple Pay on your Mac in your iPhone settings. Go to “Wallet & Apple Pay” and deactivate “Allow payments on Mac”.

You can find further information on data protection with Apple Pay at the following Internet address: https://support.apple.com/de-de/HT203027

Google Pay

If you opt for the “Google Pay” payment method of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland (“Google”), payment will be processed via the “Google Pay” application of your mobile device running at least Android 4.4 (“KitKat”) and equipped with an NFC function by charging a payment card stored with Google Pay or a payment system verified there. To approve a payment via Google Pay of more than €25, your mobile device must first be unlocked using the verification measure set up in each case (e.g. facial recognition, password, fingerprint or pattern).

For the purpose of payment processing, the information you provide during the ordering process, together with information about your order, will be passed on to Google. Google then transmits your payment information stored in Google Pay to the source website in the form of a unique transaction number, which is used to verify that a payment has been made. This transaction number does not contain any information about the real payment data of your means of payment stored with Google Pay, but is created and transmitted as a uniquely valid numerical token. For all transactions via Google Pay, Google only acts as an intermediary for processing the payment process. The transaction is carried out exclusively in the relationship between the user and the source website by debiting the means of payment stored with Google Pay.

If personal data is processed during the described transfers, the processing is carried out exclusively for the purpose of payment processing in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR.

Google reserves the right to collect, store and analyze certain transaction-specific information for each transaction made via Google Pay. This includes the date, time and amount of the transaction, merchant location and description, a description of the goods or services purchased provided by the merchant, photos you have attached to the transaction, the name and email address of the seller and buyer or the sender and recipient, the payment method used, your description of the reason for the transaction and, if applicable, the offer associated with the transaction.

According to Google, this processing is carried out exclusively in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR on the basis of the legitimate interest in proper accounting, the verification of transaction data and the optimization and maintenance of the Google Pay service.

Google also reserves the right to combine the processed transaction data with other information that is collected and stored by Google when using other Google services.

The Google Pay terms of use can be found here:

Coinbase Commerce

If you choose the payment method “cryptocurrencies”, the payment will be processed via the payment service provider “Coinbase Commerce” of Toshi Holdings Pte. Ltd, One Marina Boulevard, #28-00, Singapore 018989 (“Coinbase Commerce”).

To make the payment, you will be redirected to an automatically generated Coinbase Commerce page. There you will see the transaction data to make the transaction with the wallet software of your choice. After the transaction has been initiated and recognized, you will be redirected back to the checkout on our site. To process the payment, only transaction-inherent information is stored in the respective blockchain of the cryptocurrency; personal data is not transmitted to Coinbase Commerce.

Should personal data nevertheless be transferred in individual cases, this will be done exclusively for the purpose of payment processing in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR. For this purpose, Coinbase Commerce has implemented standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission, which are intended to ensure compliance with the European level of data protection in Singapore.

You can find more information on data protection at Coinbase Commerce at the URL: https://commerce.coinbase.com/legal/privacy-policy/

5th Newsletter

You can subscribe to our newsletter, with which we inform you about our current interesting offers, by giving your consent. The advertised goods and services are named in the declaration of consent.

We use the so-called double opt-in procedure to subscribe to our newsletter. This means that after you have registered, we will send you an e-mail to the e-mail address provided, in which we ask you to confirm that you are the owner of the e-mail address provided and that you wish to receive the notifications. In addition, we store the IP addresses you use and the times of registration and confirmation. The purpose of this procedure is to be able to prove your registration and, if necessary, to clarify any possible misuse of your personal data.

The only mandatory information for sending the newsletter is your e-mail address. The provision of further, separately marked data is voluntary and is used to address you personally. After your confirmation, we will save your e-mail address for the purpose of sending you the newsletter. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR.

You can revoke your consent to the sending of the newsletter at any time and unsubscribe from the newsletter. You can declare your revocation by clicking on the link provided in every newsletter e-mail, by e-mail to [email protected] or by sending a message to the contact details given in the imprint.

  1. further processing purposes

Compliance with legal requirements: We also process your personal data in order to comply with other legal obligations that may apply to us in connection with our business activities. These include, in particular, retention periods under commercial, trade or tax law. We process your personal data in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. c GDPR (legal basis) to fulfill a legal obligation to which we are subject.

Enforcement: We also process your personal data in order to assert our rights and enforce our legal claims. We also process your personal data in order to be able to defend ourselves against legal claims. Finally, we process your personal data if this is necessary for the prevention or prosecution of criminal offenses. We process your personal data to protect our legitimate interests in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR (legal basis), insofar as we assert legal claims or defend ourselves in legal disputes or we prevent or investigate criminal offenses (legitimate interest).

Consent: If you have given us your consent to process personal data for specific purposes (e.g. sending information material and offers), the lawfulness of this processing is based on your consent. Any consent given can be revoked at any time. This also applies to the revocation of declarations of consent that were given to us before the GDPR came into force, i.e. before May 25, 2018. Please note that the revocation only takes effect for the future and processing up to that point is not affected.

  1. Recipients of data

Within ChainMind AG, those departments that need your data to fulfill our contractual and legal obligations will have access to it. Service providers and vicarious agents employed by us (e.g. partners, technical service providers, shipping companies, waste disposal companies) may also receive data for these purposes. We limit the transfer of your personal data to what is necessary in accordance with data protection regulations. In some cases, the recipients receive your personal data as processors and are then strictly bound by our instructions when handling your personal data. In some cases, the recipients act independently under their own responsibility under data protection law and are also obliged to comply with the requirements of the GDPR and other data protection regulations.

Finally, in individual cases we transmit personal data to our consultants in legal or tax matters, whereby these recipients are obliged to maintain special confidentiality and secrecy due to their professional status.

  1. Data transfer to third countries

As part of the use of the above tools, e.g. Google, we may transfer your IP address to third countries (see above). The data transfer is always based on your express consent. Otherwise, we do not transfer your personal data to countries outside the EU or the EEA or to international organizations, unless expressly stated otherwise in this privacy policy.

VI Duration of data storage

We initially process and store your personal data for the duration for which the respective purpose of use requires corresponding storage (see above for the individual processing purposes). This may also include the periods for the initiation of a contract (pre-contractual legal relationship) and the performance of a contract. On this basis, personal data is regularly deleted as part of the fulfillment of our contractual and/or legal obligations, unless its temporary further processing is required for the following purposes:

-Fulfillment of statutory retention obligations

-Preservation of          evidence in consideration of the statute of limitations

VII Data security

We protect personal data by means of suitable technical and organizational measures in order to ensure an appropriate level of protection and to safeguard the personal rights of the persons concerned. The measures taken serve, among other things, to prevent unauthorized access to the technical facilities used by us and to protect personal data from unauthorized access by third parties. In particular, this website uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as the contact requests you send to us as the site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser line. If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties. Nevertheless, we would like to point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g. when communicating by e-mail) can have security gaps. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is therefore not possible.

VIII. Your rights as a data subject

You are entitled to the following rights as a data subject under the legal requirements:

Right to information: You are entitled to request confirmation from us at any time within the framework of Art. 15 GDPR as to whether we process personal data concerning you; if this is the case, you are also entitled within the framework of Art. 15 GDPR to receive information about this personal data and certain other information (including processing purposes, categories of personal data, categories of recipients, planned storage period, the origin of the data, the use of automated decision-making and, in the case of third country transfers, the appropriate safeguards) and a copy of your data.

Right to rectification: In accordance with Art. 16 GDPR, you are entitled to demand that we rectify the personal data stored about you if it is inaccurate or incorrect.

Right to erasure: You are entitled, under the conditions of Art. 17 GDPR, to demand that we erase personal data concerning you without undue delay. The right to erasure does not exist if the processing of personal data is necessary, e.g. to fulfill a legal obligation (e.g. statutory retention obligations) or to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.

Right to restriction of processing: You are entitled to demand that we restrict the processing of your personal data under the conditions of Art. 18 GDPR.

Right to data portability: You are entitled, under the conditions of Art. 20 GDPR, to request that we provide you with the personal data concerning you that you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format.

Right of withdrawal: You can withdraw your consent to the processing of personal data at any time. This also applies to the revocation of declarations of consent given to us before the GDPR came into force, i.e. before May 25, 2018. Please note that the revocation is only effective for the future. Processing that took place before the revocation is not affected. An informal notification, e.g. by email to us, is sufficient to declare your revocation.

Right to object: You are entitled to object to the processing of your personal data under the conditions of Art. 21 GDPR, so that we must stop processing your personal data. The right to object exists only within the limits provided for in Art. 21 GDPR. In addition, our interests may conflict with the termination of processing, so that we are entitled to process your personal data despite your objection. We will consider an objection to any direct marketing measures immediately and without weighing up the existing interests again.

Information about your right to object in accordance with Art. 21 GDPR

You have the right to object at any time to the processing of your data on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR (data processing on the basis of a balancing of interests) or Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. e GDPR (data processing in the public interest) if there are reasons for this arising from your particular situation.

If you object, we will no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.

The objection can be made informally and should preferably be addressed to:
