General Privacy Policy

We, Micropayment AG, take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the legal data protection regulations, especially the EU-General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), as well as this data protection statement.

With this general data protection information, we would like to inform you about which personal data we collect, process and use when you visit our websites (e.g. to find out about our products and services). Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person, e.g. name, address, e-mail addresses, user behavior, IP address.

You can visit our websites without providing any personal information. Insofar as personal data is collected on our pages, this is always done, as far as possible, on a voluntary basis. This data will not be passed on to third parties without your express consent or for a legally intended purpose.

We point out that data transmission over the Internet (eg communication by e-mail) security gaps. Complete protection of your data against access by third parties is therefore not possible.

If you use our payment services, supplementary data protection information applies. You can view the corresponding data protection information separately before using the respective service.

Hosting

Our websites are operated (hosted) on our own servers at a German location.

We process stock data, contact data, content data, contract data, usage data, meta and / or communication data of customers, interested parties and visitors of our online offer on the basis of our legitimate interests in an efficient and secure provision of this online offer according to GDPR Art. 6 section 1 letter f.

Visiting our website

Each time you access our website, data is transmitted to us by your Internet browser and stored in log files (so-called server log files). This stored data includes, for example, the name of the page accessed, the date and time of access, the IP address, the amount of data transferred and the requesting provider. The processing is carried out on the basis of GDPR Art. 6 section 1 letter f from our legitimate interest in ensuring trouble-free operation of our website and to improve our offer.

The server log file information is stored for security reasons (e.g. to clarify acts of abuse or fraud) for a maximum period of 21 days and then deleted. Data whose further storage is required for evidentiary purposes is exempt from deletion until final clarification of the respective incident.


SSL-encryption

This site uses SSL encryption for security reasons and for the protection of the transmission of confidential content such as the inquiries you send to us as a site operator. An encrypted connection indicates that the browser's address line changes from "http://" to "https://" and that the lock icon in your browser line is visible.

If the SSL encryption is activated, the data that you transfer to us can not be read by third parties.


Cookies

Our Website partly uses so-called cookies. Cookies do not cause any damage to your computer and do not contain viruses. Cookies serve to make our offer more user-friendly, more effective and safer. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and saved by your browser.

Most of the cookies we use are so-called "session cookies". They are automatically deleted after the end of your visit. Other cookies remain stored on your terminal device until you delete them. These cookies allow us to recognize your browser on your next visit. The use of cookies is based on GDPR Art. 6 section 1 letter f (processing is necessary to protect the legitimate interests of the controller or a third party).

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, as well as activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. When deactivating cookies, the functionality of this website may be limited.

With regard to the storage period, the following types of cookies are distinguished:

    Temporary cookies (also: session cookies): Temporary cookies are deleted at the latest after you have left our website and closed your end device (e.g. browser or mobile app).

    Permanent cookies: Permanent cookies remain stored even after you close your end device. For example, login status can be saved or preferred content can be displayed directly when you visit our website again. Likewise, the data collected with the help of cookies can be used for reach measurement. Unless we provide explicit information about the type and storage duration of cookies (e.g., as part of obtaining consent), you can assume that the stored cookies are permanent and the storage period can be up to two years.


Cookie consent:

We use cookies only in accordance with the law. Therefore, we obtain consent from you before you use our website. You can revoke the consent at any time and it contains all information about the respective cookie use.

In the context of your declaration of consent to the use of cookies, your declaration will be saved so that it does not have to be repeated and the consent can be proven in accordance with the legal obligation. The storage can take place on the server side and/or in a cookie (so-called opt-in cookie or with the help of comparable technologies) in order to be able to assign the consent to you or your end device.

The duration of the storage of the consent can be up to two years. A pseudonymous user identifier is created and stored with the time of consent, information on the scope of consent (e.g. which categories of cookies and/or service providers) and the browser, system and end device used.

The legal basis under data protection law on which we process your personal data using cookies depends on whether we ask you for consent. If you consent, the legal basis for processing your data is your declared consent. Otherwise, the data processed with the help of cookies will be processed on the basis of our legitimate interests (e.g. in the business operation of our online offer and improvement of its usability) or, if this is done in the context of the fulfilment of our contractual obligations, if the use of cookies is necessary to fulfil our contractual obligations.

You can revoke the consents you have given at any time and also file an objection to the processing in accordance with the legal requirements in GDPR Art. 21. You can also declare your objection by means of the settings of your browser.

Furthermore, cookies enable our systems to recognize your browser even after a page change and to offer you services. Some functions of our website cannot be offered without the use of cookies. For these, it is necessary that the browser is recognized even after a page change.

The processing of your personal data is based on GDPR Art. 6 section 1 letter f from our legitimate interest in ensuring the optimal functionality of the website and a user-friendly and effective design of our offer.

Presence in social networks (social media)

We maintain online presences within social networks and process your data in this context in order to communicate with users active there or to offer information about us.

We would like to point out that user data may be processed outside the European Union. This may result in risks for users because, for example, it could make it more difficult to enforce users' rights.

Furthermore, user data is usually processed within social networks for market research and advertising purposes. For example, usage profiles can be created based on the usage behaviour and resulting interests of the users. The usage profiles can in turn be used, for example, to place advertisements within and outside the networks that presumably correspond to the interests of the users. For these purposes, cookies are usually stored on the users' computers, in which the usage behaviour and interests of the users are stored. Furthermore, data independent of the devices used by the users may also be stored in the usage profiles (especially if the users are members of the respective platforms and are logged in to them).

For a detailed presentation of the respective forms of processing and the options to object (opt-out), we refer to the data protection statements and information provided by the operators of the respective networks.

In the case of requests for information and the assertion of data subject rights, we also point out that these can be asserted most effectively with the providers. Only the providers have access to the users' data and can take appropriate measures and provide information directly. If you still need assistance, you can contact us.

The following types of data are processed as part of our presences on social networks: Contact data (e.g. e-mail, telephone numbers); Content data (e.g. entries in online forms); Usage data (e.g. websites visited, interest in content, access times); Meta/communication data (e.g. device information, IP addresses). The legal basis of the processing is GDPR Art. 6 section 1 letter f, i.e. the legitimate interest.

Legal basis of the processing

The legal basis for the processing of personal data for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose is basically GDPR Art. 6 section 1 letter a.

If the processing of personal data is required to fulfill a contract, the processing is based on GDPR Art. 6 section 1 letter b. The same applies to processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of inquiries regarding our products or services.

If our company is subject to a legal obligation which requires the processing of personal data, such as the fulfillment of tax obligations, the processing is based on GDPR Art. 6 section 1 letter c.


Deletion of personal data

We adhere to the principles of data avoidance and data economy. Therefore, we only store your personal data for as long as it is necessary to achieve the purposes mentioned here or as provided for by the various legal binding storage periods. After discontinuation of the respective purpose or expiration of these deadlines, the corresponding data will be routinely and in accordance with the statutory provisions blocked or deleted.


Data subject rights

You are entitled to the following rights according to GDPR Art. 15 to 20, if the legal requirements are met: right to information, to correction, to deletion, to restriction of processing, to data portability. You therefore have the right at any time to free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipient and the purpose of data processing, as well as a right to rectification, blocking or deletion of this data. In accordance with GDP Art. 77, you also have the right to complain to the supervisory authority if you believe that the processing of your personal data is not lawful.

Our data protection officer will be happy to answer any requests for information or other questions you may have on the subject of data protection.
