1. Legal data protection policies

This privacy policy describes Matchmetrics practices regarding the collection, use and disclosure of the information we collect from and about you using our web-based and mobile applications (the “Services”). Unless otherwise stated, this Privacy Policy applies to all products, services, websites and apps offered by Matchmetrics. By accessing or using the Services, you agree to this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Service.

The legal fundamentals of data protection can be found in the European General Data Protection Act (GDPR), the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) and the Telemedia Act (TMG). In this data protection declaration, we use, inter alia, the following terms:

 

a) Personal data
Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (“data subject”). An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.

b) Data subject
Data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person, whose personal data is processed by the controller responsible for the processing.

c) Processing
Processing is any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organisation, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.

d) Controller or controller responsible for the processing
Controller or controller responsible for the processing is the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data; where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union or Member State law, the controller or the specific criteria for its nomination may be provided for by Union or Member State law.

e) Pseudonymisation
Pseudonymisation is the processing of personal data in such a manner that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organisational measures to ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.

f) Third party
Third party is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or body other than the data subject, controller, processor and persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or processor, are authorised to process personal data.

g) Consent
Consent of the data subject is any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject’s wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her.

 

2. Personal data

The data provided by you is necessary for the fulfilment of the contract and/or for the execution of pre-contractual measures. Without these data we cannot conclude the contract with you. Data will not be transmitted to third parties, with the exception of the possible transmission of invoice and payment data to processing bank institutes / payment service providers for the purpose of debiting the subscription price and to the analysis and communication tools used and commissioned by us described in section 4 and 5 of this policy.

4. Security, cookies and other important information

Security
We take precautions to protect your information. When you submit sensitive information via website, your information is protected both online and offline. Wherever we collect sensitive information (such as billing data), that information is encrypted and transmitted to us in a secure way. You can verify this by a lock icon in the address bar and looking for “https” at the beginning of the web page. While we use encryption to protect sensitive information transmitted online, we also protect your information offline. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (e.g. billing or customer service) are granted access to personally identifiable information.

Data locations
The computers/servers in which we store personally identifiable information are kept in a secure environment. We use the highly secured data centres of Hetzner Online GmbH. The servers are based in Germany, so that your personal data will be hosted and processed by us in Germany. The data is transferred between the browser and the server via SSL.
