Privacy policy

Thank you for visiting our website www.pixupmedia.com and for your interest in our company and our services. Despite careful control of the content, we accept no liability for external links to third-party content, as we have not initiated the transmission of this information and have not selected or changed the addressee of the transmitted information or the transmitted information itself.

The protection of your personal data when it is collected, processed and used during your visit to our website is important to us and is carried out in accordance with the statutory provisions, which you can find out about at www.bfd.bund.de, for example.

Below we explain what information we collect during your visit to our website and how it is used:

1. collection and storage of personal data and the nature and purpose of their use

a) When visiting the website

Every time a customer (or other visitor) accesses our website, the internet browser used on your device (computer, laptop, tablet, smartphone, etc.) automatically sends information to the server of our website. This information is temporarily stored in a log file.

The following data is collected without any action on your part and stored until it is automatically deleted:

• (pseudonymised) IP address of the requesting computer, as well as device ID or individual device identifier and device type
• Name of the retrieved file and amount of data transferred, as well as the date and time of retrieval,
• Notification of successful retrieval,
• requesting domain,
• Description of the type of Internet browser used and, if applicable, the operating system of your end device as well as the name of your access provider
• Your browser history data and your standard weblog information, location data, including location data from your mobile device. Please note that on most mobile devices you can control or disable the use of location services in the settings menu of the mobile device.

Our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR for the collection of data is based on the following purposes:

• To ensure a smooth connection and convenient use of the website,
• Evaluation of system security and stability and
• for further administrative purposes.

Under no circumstances do we use the data collected for the purpose of drawing conclusions about your person.

b) When using our contact form

For questions of any kind, we offer you the opportunity to contact us via a form provided on the website. As a minimum, you must provide a valid e-mail address and your name so that we know who sent the enquiry and can respond to it. Further information can be provided voluntarily.

Data processing for the purpose of contacting us is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR on the basis of your voluntarily given consent.

We recommend that you link the privacy policy visibly before the "Send" button so that the user can take note of it. The following is a possible text next to a non-pre-assigned checkbox: "By ticking the checkbox, you consent to the collection and storage of the data you provide for the purpose of contacting you and responding to your enquiry in accordance with our privacy policy. You can revoke your consent at any time simply by sending an email to info@pixupmedia.com."

The personal data collected by us for the use of the contact form will be automatically deleted after your enquiry has been dealt with.

c) Upon conclusion of a contractual relationship

When concluding a contractual relationship on our website (e.g. registration on the website/platform, purchase in our online shop), we ask you to provide the following personal data:

• Data that identifies you personally, such as your name and e-mail address, billing and delivery address and telephone number,
• Photos,
• academic title,
• Data that identifies your company, such as company name, address, communication data (e-mail address, telephone and fax number), VAT ID or tax number if applicable,
• the information on your means of payment,
• ...
• other personal data that we are legally obliged or authorised to collect and process and that we need for your authentication, identification or to verify the data we have collected.

The aforementioned data will be processed to fulfil the contractual relationship and - if necessary - passed on to the transport company commissioned with the delivery. The data is processed on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. The storage period is limited to the purpose of the contract and, if applicable, statutory and contractual retention obligations.

d) Use of payment service providers

We also work with the following payment service provider(s) to process your order. We pass on your payment data to the authorised credit institution as part of the payment processing - earmarked for the payment - if this is necessary for the payment processing. You can select the following payment service providers for payment. The legal basis for the transfer of data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR.

e) When registering for our newsletter

If you have expressly consented in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR, we will use your e-mail address to send you our newsletter on a regular basis. You can unsubscribe at any time, for example via a link at the end of a newsletter. Alternatively, you can also send your unsubscribe request at any time to info@pixupmedia.com by email (preferably with the subject: "Unsubscribe newsletter").

We recommend using the double opt-in procedure for registration. This procedure is the only procedure that German courts have so far deemed admissible as a basis of proof. According to the GDPR, the customer must consent to the collection of data before "losing" the email address, similar to the contact form. We therefore recommend also ticking a non-pre-filled checkbox before subscribing to the newsletter, for example with the following text: "By ticking the checkbox, you agree that we may process the data you provide in accordance with our privacy policy and use it to send you our email newsletter. You can revoke your consent at any time simply by sending an email to info@pixupmedia.com or by clicking on the link at the end of each newsletter and unsubscribing from the newsletter."

2. disclosure of personal data

Your data will not be transferred to third parties for purposes other than those listed below.

We only pass on your data to third parties if:

• you have given your express consent to this (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR),
• this is necessary for the processing of contractual relationships with you (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR),
• there is a legal obligation to pass on the data (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR),
• the disclosure is necessary for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding interest worthy of protection in not disclosing your data (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR).

In these cases, however, the scope of the data transmitted is limited to the minimum required.

Our data protection provisions are in accordance with the applicable data protection regulations and the data is only processed in the Federal Republic of Germany. A transfer to third countries does not take place and is not intended.

Alternative privileged third countries: Our data protection provisions are in accordance with the applicable data protection regulations and the data is only processed in the Federal Republic of Germany and/or in [Switzerland, Andorra, the Faroe Islands, Guernsey, Jersey, Isle of Man, Argentina, Israel, New Zealand, Uruguay]. The aforementioned country has been recognised by the European Commission as a third country that guarantees an adequate level of data protection. In this respect, the European Commission has no reservations regarding the transfer of data to Switzerland and the transfer is possible on the basis of Art. 44 GDPR. Further information can be found on the website of the European Commission https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/international-dimension-data-protection/adequacy-decisions_en A transfer to other third countries does not take place and is not intended.

3. rights of data subjects

The GDPR grants users (the so-called data subjects) various rights, some of which are new. These must all be listed together with the legal basis, which is why this section is somewhat longer. Please read the rights carefully! Among other things, the data subject has the right to request information at any time about whether and which data is being processed, for what purpose and to whom and on what basis it is being passed on. This also includes the right of the data subject to receive copies. Exception: In the case of a large database (e.g. social network), users may be asked to specify the information on certain types of data. The information must be provided immediately and must not take longer than 1 month.

On request, we will be happy to inform you whether and which personal data relating to you is stored (Art. 15 GDPR), in particular about the processing purposes, the category of personal data, the categories of recipients to whom your data has been or will be disclosed, the planned storage period, the existence of a right to rectification, erasure, restriction of processing or objection, the existence of a right to lodge a complaint, the origin of your data if it was not collected by us, and the existence of automated decision-making including profiling.

You also have the right to have any incorrectly collected personal data corrected or incompletely collected data completed (Art. 16 GDPR).

Furthermore, you have the right to demand that we restrict the processing of your data, provided that the legal requirements for this are met (Art. 18 GDPR).

You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format or to request that it be transmitted to another controller (Art. 20 GDPR).

In addition, you have the so-called "right to be forgotten", i.e. you can demand that we delete your personal data, provided that the legal requirements for this are met (Art. 17 GDPR).

Irrespective of this, your personal data will be automatically deleted by us if the purpose of the data collection no longer applies or the data processing has been carried out unlawfully.

In accordance with Art. 7 para. 3 GDPR, you have the right to revoke your consent to us at any time. The consequence of this is that we may no longer continue the data processing that was based on this consent in the future.

You also have the right to object to the processing of your personal data at any time, provided that a right of objection is provided for by law. In the event of an effective cancellation, your personal data will also be automatically deleted by us (Art. 21 GDPR).

If you would like to exercise your right of cancellation or objection, simply send an e-mail to: info@pixupmedia.com

In the event of breaches of data protection regulations, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority in accordance with Art. 77 GDPR. The competent supervisory authority is the State Commissioner for Data Protection Berlin (https://www.datenschutz-berlin.de/) as well as any other supervisory authority.

Please adjust the competent supervisory authority. Pursuant to Art. 55 GDPR, jurisdiction is determined by the main establishment of the company. In addition, the data subject has the right to lodge a complaint with any other supervisory authority, which will then forward it to the "lead" supervisory authority.

4. duration of data storage

The data collected will be stored by us as long as this is necessary for the fulfilment of the contracts entered into with us or you have not exercised your right to erasure or your right to transfer data to another company.

5. cookies
