General information

INKUBIT Business Solutions GmbH (hereinafter referred to as “INKUBIT”) attaches great importance to the protection of the personal data of our customers and visitors to our website www.inkubit.com (hereinafter referred to as the “Website”). This privacy policy describes which personal data INKUBIT collects, stores and uses when using the website and for what purposes this is done. INKUBIT may update this Privacy Policy at any time.

Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

With the following information, we would like to give you, as a “data subject”, an overview of the processing of your personal data by us and your rights under data protection laws. In principle, it is possible to use our website without entering personal data. However, if you wish to make use of special services provided by our company via our website, it may be necessary to process personal data. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we generally obtain your consent.

The processing of personal data, such as your name, address or e-mail address, is always carried out in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to “INKUBIT Business Solutions GmbH”. By means of this privacy policy, we would like to inform you about the scope and purpose of the personal data collected, used and processed by us.

As the controller, we have implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection of the personal data processed via this website. Nevertheless, Internet-based data transmissions can generally have security gaps, so that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, you are free to submit personal data to us by alternative means, for example by telephone or post.

4. Definitions

The data protection declaration is based on the terms used by the European legislator for the adoption of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our privacy policy is intended to be easy to read and understand for the public as well as for our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to explain the terms used in advance.

We use the following terms in this Privacy Policy, among others:

1. Personal data
   Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. 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.
2. Data subject
   Data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the controller (our company).
3. Processing
   Processing means 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; the restriction, deletion or destruction.
4. Restriction of processing
   Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of restricting their future processing.
5. Profiling
   Profiling is any type of automated processing of personal data consisting in the use of such personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyse or predict aspects relating to that natural person’s work performance, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, location or movements.
6. Pseudonymization
   Pseudonymisation is the processing of personal data in such a way 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 is not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person .
7. Processors
   Processor means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body that processes personal data on behalf of the controller.
8. Recipients
   The recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body to which personal data is disclosed, whether or not it is a third party. However, public authorities that may receive personal data in the context of a specific investigative mandate under Union or Member State law are not considered recipients.
9. Third Party
   Third party means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body other than the data subject, the controller, the processor and the persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or the processor, are authorised to process the personal data.
10. 
    ConsentConsent means any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject’s wishes in the form of a statement or other unambiguous affirmative action by which the data subject signifies that he or she agrees to the processing of personal data concerning him/her.

5. Legal basis for processing

Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR (in conjunction with Section 15 (3) TMG) serves as the legal basis for our company for processing operations in which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose.

If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party, as is the case, for example, in the case of processing operations necessary for the supply of goods or the provision of any other service or consideration, the processing is based on Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures, such as in cases of enquiries about our products or services.

If our company is subject to a legal obligation that requires the processing of personal data, such as for the fulfilment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR.

In rare cases, the processing of personal data may become necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were injured in our company and his name, age, health insurance data or other vital information would have to be passed on to a doctor, a hospital or other third parties. In that case, the processing would be based on Art. 6 (1) (d) GDPR.

Ultimately, processing operations could be based on Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Processing operations that are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases are based on this legal basis if the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or of a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not prevail. We are permitted to carry out such processing operations in particular because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this respect, he took the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed if you are a customer of our company (Recital 47 sentence 2 GDPR).

6. Transfer of data to third parties

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

We will only share your personal information with third parties if:

1. you have given your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 (a) GDPR,
2. the disclosure is permissible in accordance with Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 (f) GDPR to protect our legitimate interests and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding interest worthy of protection in the non-disclosure of your data,
3. in the event that there is a legal obligation for the transfer pursuant to Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 (c) GDPR, and
4. this is legally permissible and necessary for the processing of contractual relationships with you in accordance with Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 (b) GDPR.

In order to protect your data and, if necessary, to enable us to transfer data to third countries (outside the EU/EEA), we have concluded data processing agreements based on the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses.

7. Technology

7.1 SSL/TLS Encryption

This site uses SSL or TLS encryption to ensure the security of data processing and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders, login data or contact requests that you send to us as the operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that there is a “https://” instead of a “http://” in the address bar of the browser and by the lock symbol in your browser line.

We use this technology to protect the information you transmit.

7.2 Data collection when visiting the website

If you use our website for informational purposes only, i.e. if you do not register or otherwise transmit information to us, we only collect data that your browser transmits to our server (in so-called “server log files”). Our website collects a series of general data and information every time you or an automated system accesses a page. This general data and information is stored in the log files of the server. The following can be recorded:

1. browser types and versions used,
2. the operating system used by the accessing system,
3. the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrers),
4. the sub-websites that are accessed via an accessing system on our website,
5. the date and time of access to the website,
6. an abbreviated Internet Protocol address (anonymized IP address),
7. the Internet service provider of the accessing system.

When using this general data and information, we do not draw any conclusions about your person. Rather, this information is needed to:

1. deliver the content of our website correctly,
2. optimise the content of our website and the advertising of it,
3. to ensure the long-term functionality of our IT systems and the technology of our website, and
4. to provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for law enforcement in the event of a cyber attack.

This data and information collected is therefore evaluated by us statistically on the one hand and with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in our company in order to ultimately ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.

The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest follows from the purposes of data collection listed above.

8. Cookies

8.1 General information about cookies

We use cookies on our website. These are small files that are automatically created by your browser and stored on your IT system (laptop, tablet, smartphone, etc.) when you visit our site.

The cookie stores information that arises in connection with the specific end device used. However, this does not mean that we will immediately become aware of your identity.

On the one hand, the use of cookies serves to make the use of our offer more pleasant for you. For example, we use so-called session cookies to recognise that you have already visited individual pages of our website. These are automatically deleted after leaving our site.

In addition, we also use temporary cookies to optimize user-friendliness, which are stored on your device for a certain set period of time. If you visit our site again to use our services, it will automatically recognize that you have already been with us and which entries and settings you have made so that you do not have to enter them again.

On the other hand, we use cookies to statistically record the use of our website and to evaluate it for the purpose of optimising our offer for you. These cookies allow us to automatically recognise that you have already been to us when you visit our site again. These cookies are automatically deleted after a defined period of time.

8.2 Legal basis for the use of cookies

The data processed by cookies, which are required for the proper functioning of the website, are therefore necessary to protect our legitimate interests as well as those of third parties in accordance with Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 (f) GDPR.

For all other cookies, you have given your consent to this via our opt-in cookie banner within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR.

8.3 Cookie consent with Borlabs Cookie

Our website uses Borlabs Cookie’s cookie consent technology to obtain your consent to store certain cookies in your browser and to document them in compliance with data protection regulations. The provider of this technology is Borlabs – Benjamin A. Bornschein, Georg-Wilhelm-Str. 17, 21107 Hamburg (hereinafter referred to as “Borlabs”).

When you enter our website, a Borlabs cookie is stored in your browser, in which the consents you have given or the withdrawal of these consents are stored. This data will not be passed on to the provider of Borlabs Cookie.

The collected data will be stored until you ask us to delete it or delete the Borlabs cookie yourself or the purpose for which the data is stored no longer applies. Mandatory statutory retention periods remain unaffected. Details on the data processing of Borlabs Cookie can be found under https://de.borlabs.io/kb/welche-daten-speichert-borlabs-cookie/

The use of the Borlabs cookie consent technology is to obtain the legally required consents for the use of cookies. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. c GDPR.

9. Content of our website

9.1 Contact / Contact Form

Personal data is collected when contacting us (e.g. via contact form or e-mail). The data collected in the case of a contact form can be seen from the respective contact form. This data will be stored and used exclusively for the purpose of answering your request or for contacting you and the associated technical administration. The legal basis for the processing of the data is our legitimate interest in answering your request in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. If your contact is aimed at concluding a contract, the additional legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR. Your data will be deleted after your request has been processed, this is the case if it can be inferred from the circumstances that the facts in question have been conclusively clarified and provided that there are no statutory retention obligations to the contrary.

9.2 Application Management / Job Exchange

We collect and process the personal data of applicants for the purpose of handling the application process. Processing may also be carried out by electronic means. This is particularly the case if an applicant submits corresponding application documents to us electronically, for example by e-mail or via a web form on the website. If we conclude an employment contract with an applicant, the transmitted data will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in compliance with the statutory provisions. If we do not conclude an employment contract with the applicant, the application documents will be automatically deleted two months after the rejection decision is announced, provided that deletion does not conflict with any other legitimate interests on our part. Other legitimate interest in this sense is, for example, a burden of proof in proceedings under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).

The legal basis for the processing of your data is Art. 88 GDPR in conjunction with § 26 para. 1 BDSG.

10. Our activities on social networks

So that we can also communicate with you in social networks and inform you about our services, we are represented there with our own pages. If you visit one of our social media pages, we are jointly responsible with the provider of the respective social media platform within the meaning of Art. 26 GDPR with regard to the processing operations triggered by this, which concern personal data.

We are not the original provider of these pages, but only use them within the scope of the possibilities offered to us by the respective providers.
Therefore, as a precautionary measure, we would like to point out that your data may also be processed outside the European Union or the European Economic Area. Use may therefore have data protection risks for you, as the protection of your rights, e.g. to information, deletion, objection, etc., can be more difficult and the processing in the social networks is often carried out directly for advertising purposes or for the analysis of user behaviour by the providers, without this being influenced by us. If the provider creates user profiles, cookies are often used or the user behaviour is directly assigned to your own member profile of the social networks (if you are logged in here).

The described processing of personal data is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest and the legitimate interest of the respective provider in order to communicate with you in a timely manner or to provide you with the right information. To be able to inform you about our services. If you have to give your consent to data processing as a user with the respective providers, the legal basis refers to Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR in conjunction with Art. 7 GDPR.

Since we do not have access to the data stocks of the providers, we would like to point out that it is best to assert your rights (e.g. to information, correction, deletion, etc.) directly with the respective provider. We have listed further information on the processing of your data in the social networks and the possibility of exercising your right of objection or revocation (so-called opt-out) below at the respective social network provider we use:

13.1 Google Maps

On our website, we use Google Maps (API) from Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Google Maps is a web service for displaying interactive (country) maps in order to visually represent geographical information. By using this service, for example, our location can be shown to you and a possible journey can be made easier.

As soon as you call up those subpages in which the Google Maps map is integrated, information about your use of our website (such as e.g. your IP address) to Google servers in the USA and stored there. This is done regardless of whether Google provides a user account through which you are logged in or whether there is no user account. If you are logged in to Google, your data will be assigned directly to your account. If you do not want to be associated with your profile on Google, you must log out of your Google user account. Google stores your data (even for users who are not logged in) as usage profiles and evaluates them. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, whereby you must contact Google to exercise this.

If you do not agree to the future transmission of your data to Google in the context of the use of Google Maps, it is also possible to completely deactivate the Google Maps web service by deactivating the JavaScript application in your browser. Google Maps and thus also the map display on this website cannot be used.

These processing operations are carried out exclusively upon the granting of explicit consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR.

You can view Google’s terms of service at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/terms/regional.html , and the additional terms of use for Google Maps can be found at https://www.google.com/intl/de_US/help/terms_maps.html

13.2 Google Tag Manager

This website uses Google Tag Manager, a cookieless domain that does not collect any personal data.

Through this tool, “website tags” (i.e. keywords that are embedded in HTML elements) can be implemented and managed via an interface. By using the Google Tag Manager, we can automatically track which button, link or personalized image you have actively clicked on and can then record which content of our website is of particular interest to you.

The tool also triggers other tags, which in turn may collect data. Google Tag Manager doesn’t access this data. If you have opted out at the domain or cookie level, it will remain in place for all tracking tags implemented with Google Tag Manager.

These processing operations are carried out exclusively upon the granting of explicit consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR.

13.3 Google WebFonts

Our website uses so-called web fonts provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland for the uniform display of fonts. When you call up a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into your browser cache in order to display texts and fonts correctly.

For this purpose, the browser you use must connect to Google’s servers. This makes Google aware that our website has been accessed via your IP address. The use of Google Web Fonts is in the interest of a uniform and appealing presentation of our website.

These processing operations are carried out exclusively upon the granting of explicit consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR.

For more information about Google Web Fonts, see https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and Google’s privacy policy: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/

13.4 Vimeo (Videos)

Plugins from the video portal Vimeo of Vimeo, LLC, 555 West 18th Street, New York, New York 10011, USA are integrated into our website. When you access a page of our website that contains such a plugin, your browser establishes a direct connection to Vimeo’s servers. The content of the plugin is transmitted directly to your browser by Vimeo and integrated into the page. Through this integration, Vimeo receives the information that your browser has called up the corresponding page of our website, even if you do not have a Vimeo account or are not currently logged in to Vimeo. This information (including your IP address) is transmitted by your browser directly to a Vimeo server in the USA and stored there.

If you are logged in to Vimeo, Vimeo can directly assign your visit to our website to your Vimeo account. When you interact with the plugins (such as pressing the start button of a video), this information is also transmitted directly to a Vimeo server and stored there.

The data processing operations described above are carried out in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR on the basis of Vimeo’s legitimate interest in market research and the needs-based design of the service.

If you do not want Vimeo to assign the data collected via our website directly to your Vimeo account, you must log out of Vimeo before visiting our website.

For the purpose and scope of the data collection and the further processing and use of the data by Vimeo, as well as your rights in this regard and setting options to protect your privacy, please refer to Vimeo’s privacy policy: https://vimeo.com/privacy

For videos from Vimeo that are integrated into our site, the tracking tool Google Analytics is automatically integrated. This is Vimeo’s own tracking, to which we have no access and which cannot be influenced by our side. Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies” for tracking, which are text files that are stored on your computer and enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

These processing operations are carried out exclusively upon the granting of explicit consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR.

13.5 YouTube (Videos)

We have integrated components from YouTube on this website. YouTube is an Internet video portal that allows video publishers to post video clips free of charge and other users to view, rate and comment on them free of charge. YouTube allows the publication of all kinds of videos, which is why complete film and television programs, as well as music videos, trailers or videos made by users themselves can be accessed via the Internet portal.

YouTube is operated by YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. YouTube, LLC is a subsidiary of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

Every time you visit one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by us and on which a YouTube component (YouTube video) has been integrated, the Internet browser on your IT system is automatically prompted by the respective YouTube component to download a representation of the corresponding YouTube component from YouTube. More information about YouTube can be found at https://www.youtube.com/yt/about/de/ . As part of this technical process, YouTube and Google receive information about which specific subpage of our website you are visiting.

If the data subject is logged in to YouTube at the same time, YouTube recognises which specific subpage of our website you are visiting when you call up a subpage containing a YouTube video. This information is collected by YouTube and Google and assigned to your YouTube account.

YouTube and Google will always receive information via the YouTube component that you have visited our website if you are logged in to YouTube at the same time as you access our website; this takes place regardless of whether you click on a YouTube video or not. If you do not want this information to be transmitted to YouTube and Google in this way, you can prevent the transmission by logging out of your YouTube account before accessing our website.

These processing operations are carried out exclusively upon the granting of explicit consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR.

YouTube’s published privacy policy, which can be accessed at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/ , provides information on the collection, processing and use of personal data by YouTube and Google.
