Our services are intended for the general public and not for children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from users who are considered to be children under their respective national laws.

 

2. Collection and processing of personal data

 

As a rule, you can use online services that do not require payment or registration without providing personal information. In certain cases, however, we process the personal data listed in section 3. This is basically only to the extent necessary to provide a functional website and our content and services. Furthermore, we process personal data in connection with the use of APX, if you give them to you, eg. For example, in the context of a registration, a competition, a request to us, an application or the conclusion of a subscription or because of a different legal basis (see section 4). If you do not want this, unfortunately, you can not use our services or not in full.

 

3. Categories of processed data

 

As soon as you use APX, our system automatically collects information from the computer system of the calling computer. It can u. a. the following data are collected:

  • Information about the browser type and version used
  • The operating system of the user
  • Date and time of access
  • Web analysis data / pseudonymous usage profiles (Cookie ID, Ad ID, etc.)
  • Websites from which the user accesses our website
  • Websites that the user accesses through our website

In addition, we process the following personal data if there is a contractual relationship between you and us or if you have transmitted the data to us in other ways: applicant data (name, address and communication data, application-relevant data).

 

 

We process your data solely on the basis of one or more of the possible legal foundations.

 

According to the GDPR, personal data may be processed in particular on the basis of a contract or for the performance of pre-contractual measures, in the presence of consent, on the basis of a legitimate interest or law and for the protection of vital or public interests.

 

In addition, we use your e-mail address to send you our newsletter if you have given us your prior express consent to receive a newsletter or advertising. In this case, we process your e-mail address in order to be able to deliver the newsletter as you wish (Art. 6 (1) (b) DSGVO). You may object to the use of your e-mail address for such purposes at any time in writing or in writing to hello@apx.vc or Besselstraße 14 in 10969 Berlin with effect for the future without any costs other than the transmission costs according to the basic tariffs.

 

On the Internet, each device for transmitting data needs a unique address, the so-called IP address. The at least temporary storage of the IP address is technically necessary to allow delivery of the website to the computer of the user. We shorten the IP addresses before any processing and process them only anonymously. There is no storage or further processing of the unabridged IP addresses. It also allows us to display regional content on all our websites that are accessed from a specific region. This so-called geo-localization, ie the assignment of a website call to the place of the call, takes place exclusively on the basis of the anonymized IP address and only up to the geographical level of the federal states / regions. In no case can a conclusion be drawn on the specific location of a user from the geographic information obtained in this way. Our servers also store your IP address for 14 days for your own security.

 

In the case of processing operations that are not covered by one or more of the aforementioned legal bases, the processing is carried out if it is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest and does not outweigh your interests, fundamental rights and fundamental freedoms (Art. 6 (1) f DSGVO). A legitimate interest is to be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the person responsible. Based on the processing of personal data, our legitimate interest is, in particular, to conduct our business for the benefit of all of our employees and our shareholders.

 

Another legitimate interest is the functionality of the business processes that result in processing for internal administrative purposes (eg, address management/account).

 

You can object to the processing on the basis of a legitimate interest at any time (see section 13).

 

In the event that the data is processed for a purpose other than that specified in the data collection, a compatibility check will be carried out in accordance with Art. 6 (4) GDPR. Further processing is only permitted if the original purpose is compatible with the new purpose or permitted on the basis of a separate legal basis. Recognized compatible purposes are u. a. the assertion, exercise or defense of civil law claims unless there is overriding interest of the data subject. In this case, we will inform you about the change of purpose. If the new purpose is incompatible with the purpose stated in the survey, a new survey will be carried out on the basis of a new legal basis. Again, we will inform you about the change of purpose.

 

5. Place of processing

 

We ourselves do not transfer your personal data to countries outside the European Economic Area, except in cases where it is permitted under the GDPR. Whether third parties, with whom you have your own contractual relationship (such as with Facebook, if you have a Facebook account) transfer data to countries outside the European Economic Area, is beyond our knowledge and influence.

 

6. Origin of the data

 

In certain cases, we also receive data because you have consented to the transmission to us.

 

7. Disclosure of your data to third parties

 

We only transfer your personal data to third parties if the transmission is necessary in order to fulfill our contractual obligations to you and this can be seen at or together with another provider (eg in case of cooperation), we will pass it on in any other way legally entitled or obligated, or you have given us a corresponding consent.

 

To provide our services, selected personal information within our company may be shared with certain departments. This includes employees in the Accounting, Product Management, Marketing and IT departments.

 

In certain cases, we also use external service providers or affiliates who have been instructed by us to process data for us. Such service providers are contractually obligated by us according to the strict requirements of the DSGVO as a processor and may not re-use your data for any other purpose. Our contract processors provide the following services in particular for us: hosting, sending out newsletters and web / app analysis.

 

The transfer of data to processors takes place on the basis of Art. 28 (1) GDPR, alternatively based on our legitimate interest in the economic and technical advantages associated with the use of specialized contract processors, Art. 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO.

 

If we are legally obliged to do so or if this is permitted under data protection law, we transfer personal data to authorities, for example the police or the public prosecutor (Article 6 (1) (c) DSGVO). The disclosure of this data is based on our legitimate interest in the fight against abuse, the prosecution of crimes and the protection, assertion and enforcement of claims and that your rights and interests in the protection of your personal data do not predominate, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. , f DSGVO.

 

8. Cookies and similar technologies

 

We use cookies. Cookies are small files that your browser stores on your device in a designated directory. Through them u. a. Determine whether you have visited a website before. If you agree, cookies may also store login information for an online service, so you do not need to enter this login information every time you visit the site. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a string through which websites and servers can be assigned to the specific Internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This allows visited websites and servers to distinguish the individual’s browser from other Internet browsers that contain other cookies.

 

We use two types of cookies. On the one hand technically necessary cookies, without which the functionality of our website would be limited as well as optional cookies, in order to make our website more user-friendly. The user data collected by technically necessary cookies will not be used to create user profiles. The use of the analysis cookies is for the purpose of improving the quality of our website and its contents. Through the analysis cookies we learn how the website is used and so we can constantly optimize our offer. Further information on the individual analysis services can be found in Section 9 of this Privacy Notice.

 

Ads are mostly provided by third parties. These may, and to the extent permitted by your device settings, use information about your visits to display ads about products and services that may interest you. Concrete contact information such as your name, your address, e-mail address or telephone number will not be transferred under any circumstances.

 

You can prevent the setting of cookies by us at any time by means of an appropriate setting of the Internet browser used and thus permanently contradict the setting of cookies. Furthermore, already set cookies can be deleted at any time via an internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all common internet browsers. Deactivate the setting of cookies in the Internet browser used, may not be all the features of our website fully usable.

9. Web analysis services

 

In order to constantly improve our content and adapt it to the interests of our users and to display usage-based online advertising, we use a number of services that collect and evaluate data on our website. Insofar as these service providers are not themselves responsible for data protection purposes, they always process the pseudonymised user data in accordance with instructions based on a contract processing agreement. You can disable the individual analysis services at any time for the future. Below you can find details about the analysis services we use:

 

Facebook Conversion Pixel 

 

We use the “conversion pixel” or visitor action pixel of Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA (“Facebook”). By calling this pixel from your browser, Facebook can see in the episode, whether a Facebook ad was successful, so z. B. led to an online purchase. For this we receive exclusively statistical data from Facebook without reference to a specific person. So we can track the effectiveness of Facebook ads for statistical and market research purposes. In particular, if you are logged in to Facebook, we also refer to their privacy information https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/ .

 

Please click here if you wish to revoke your consent to conversion pixels:  https://www.facebook.com/ads/preferences/?entry_product=ad_settings_screen

 

Google AdSense 

 

We have integrated Google AdSense into this website. Google AdSense is an online service that provides third-party advertising mediation. Google AdSense is based on an algorithm that selects the advertisements displayed on third-party websites in accordance with the contents of the respective third-party website. Google AdSense allows interest-based targeting of the Internet user, which is implemented by generating individual user profiles. The Google AdSense component is operated by Alphabet Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.

 

The purpose of the Google AdSense component is to incorporate ads on our website. Google AdSense sets a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. What cookies are, has already been explained above. By using this cookie, Alphabet Inc. provides an analysis of the use of our website. Each time you visit any of the pages on this Site operated by us and incorporating a Google AdSense component, the Internet browser on the subject’s information technology system will automatically cause the data to be accessed by the respective Google AdSense component Online Advertising and Billing of Commissions to Alphabet Inc. As part of this technical process, Alphabet Inc. receives
The affected person can prevent the setting of cookies by our website, as already described above, at any time by means of a corresponding setting of the Internet browser used and thus permanently contradict the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent Alphabet Inc. from setting a cookie on the information technology system of the person concerned. In addition, a cookie already set by Alphabet Inc. can be deleted at any time via the Internet browser or other software programs.

 

Google AdSense also uses so-called counting pixels. A counting pixel is a miniature graphic that is embedded in web sites to enable log file recording and log file analysis, which can be used for statistical evaluation. Based on the embedded pixel, Alphabet Inc. can detect if and when a website was opened by an affected person and which links were clicked by the affected person. Counting pixels are used, among other things, to evaluate the flow of visitors to a website.

 

Google AdSense will transfer personal information and information, including the IP address required to collect and bill the displayed advertising, to Alphabet Inc. in the United States of America. This personal information is stored and processed in the United States of America. Alphabet Inc. may transfer such personal information collected through the technical process to third parties. Google AdSense will be explained at https://www.google.com/intl/en/adsense/start/ .

 

Google AdWords

 

We have integrated Google AdWords on this website. Google AdWords is an internet advertising service that allows advertisers to run ads both on Google’s search engine and on the Google Network. Google AdWords allows an advertiser to pre-define keywords that will display an ad on Google’s search engine results only when the search engine retrieves a keyword-related search result. On the Google Network, ads are distributed to topic-related sites using an automated algorithm and according to pre-defined keywords. The operating company of Google AdWords Services is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA. The purpose of Google AdWords is to promote our website by displaying interest-based advertising on third-party websites and in the search engine results of Google’s search engine and by displaying advertisements on our website. If an affected person reaches our website via a Google ad, a so-called conversion cookie is filed on Google’s information technology system by Google. What cookies are, has already been explained above. A conversion cookie loses its validity after thirty days and is not used to identify the person concerned. If the cookie has not yet expired, the conversion cookie will track whether certain sub-pages, for example, the shopping cart of an online shop system, were called on our website. The conversion cookie tells both us and Google whether an affected person who came to our website via an AdWords ad generated revenue, ie, completed or canceled a purchase.
The data and information collected through the use of the conversion cookie is used by Google to provide visitor statistics for our website. These visit statistics are then used by us to determine the total number of users who have been sent to us through AdWords ads, to determine the success or failure of their AdWords ad and to optimize our AdWords ads for the future , Neither our company nor any other Google AdWords advertiser receives any information from Google that could identify the data subject.

 

The conversion cookie stores personally identifiable information, such as the websites visited by the data subject. Whenever you visit our websites, personal information, including the IP address of the Internet connection used by the data subject, is transferred to Google in the United States of America. This personal information is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may transfer this personal data collected through the technical process to third parties.

 

The affected person can prevent the setting of cookies by our website, as already described above, at any time by means of a corresponding setting of the Internet browser used and thus permanently contradict the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent Google from setting a conversion cookie on the information technology system of the person concerned. In addition, a cookie already set by Google AdWords can be deleted at any time via the Internet browser or other software programs. In addition, the data subject has the opportunity to object to Google’s interest-based advertising. To do this, the data subject must click on the link from each of the Internet browsers they use Go to https://www.google.com/settings/ads and make the settings you want. Additional information and Google’s privacy policy can be found at https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/ .

 

Google DoubleClick

DoubleClick by Google transmits data to the DoubleClick server with every impression, click, or other activity. Each of these data transfers triggers a cookie request to the affected person’s browser. If the browser accepts this request, DoubleClick sets a cookie on the information technology system of the person concerned. What cookies are, has already been explained above. The purpose of the cookie is to optimize and display advertising. The cookie is used, among other things, to serve and display user-relevant advertisements, as well as to generate reports on advertising campaigns or to improve them. Furthermore, the cookie is used to avoid multiple impressions of the same advertising.
DoubleClick uses a cookie ID, which is required to complete the technical process. For example, the cookie ID is needed to display an ad in a browser. DoubleClick can also use the cookie ID to see which ads have already appeared in a browser to avoid duplication. It’s also possible for DoubleClick to track conversions with the cookie ID. For example, conversions are tracked when a user has previously seen a DoubleClick ad and then, with the same internet browser, makes a purchase on the advertiser’s site.

 

A DoubleClick cookie does not contain any personally identifiable information. However, a DoubleClick cookie may contain additional campaign identifiers. A campaign identifier identifies the campaigns the user was already in contact with.

 

Each time a single page on this site is accessed by us and a DoubleClick component is integrated, the Internet browser on the subject’s information technology system is automatically prompted by the applicable DoubleClick component for online advertising purposes and billing commissions to Google. As part of this technical process, Google will be aware of data that Google uses to create commission billing. Google can understand, among other things, that the person has clicked on certain links on our website.The affected person can prevent the setting of cookies by our website, as already described above, at any time by means of a corresponding setting of the Internet browser used and thus permanently contradict the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent Google from setting a cookie on the information technology system of the person concerned. In addition, cookies already set by Google can be deleted at any time via an internet browser or other software programs. Additional information and DoubleClick by Google’s applicable privacy policy can be found at https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/ .

Xing always receives information from the Xing component that the data subject has visited our Web site if the data subject is logged in to Xing at the same time as accessing our Web site; this happens regardless of whether or not the affected person clicks on the Xing component. If such a transfer of such information to Xing is not wanted by the data subject, it can prevent the transfer by logging out of their Xing account before calling our website. Xing’s privacy policy, available at https://www.xing.com/privacy , provides insight into the collection, processing and use of personal information by Xing. Furthermore, Xing has under https://www.xing.com/app/share?op=data_protection Privacy Policy published for the XING Share Button.

 

YouTube 

 

We have integrated YouTube components into this site. YouTube is an internet video portal that allows video publishers to freely watch video clips and other users for free viewing, rating and commenting. YouTube allows the publication of all types of videos, so that both complete film and television broadcasts, but also music videos, trailers or user-made videos via the Internet portal are available. YouTube’s operating company is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. YouTube, LLC is a subsidiary of Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.

 

Each time you visit any of the pages on this site operated by us for which a YouTube component (YouTube video) has been integrated, the Internet browser on the subject’s information technology system will be automatically triggered by the particular 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/en/ . As part of this technical process, YouTube and Google are aware of the specific bottom of our site being visited by the data subject.

 

If the person is logged in to YouTube at the same time, YouTube recognizes by calling a sub-page that contains a YouTube video, which specific bottom of our site the affected person visits. This information will be collected by YouTube and Google and associated with the affected person’s YouTube account.

 

YouTube and Google will always receive information through the YouTube component that the data subject has visited our website if the data subject is logged in to YouTube at the time of accessing our website; this happens regardless of whether the person clicks on a YouTube video or not. If such transfer of such information to YouTube and Google is not wanted by the data subject, the latter may prevent the transfer by logging out of their YouTube account before calling our website. The privacy policy posted by YouTube, available at https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/ provide information about the collection, processing and use of personal data by YouTube and Google.

 

On smartphones and tablets, the aforementioned services are often not implemented by plug-ins, but by a device-internal “sharing” function. According to its settings, information can also be given to other social media service providers. Please refer to details of your device information.

 

11. Other services

 

Other services we use are:

 

Google Maps 

 

We use Google Maps to display maps. The integration requires that Google can perceive the IP address of the users. The IP address is required to send the content to the user’s browser. Please note that Google has its own privacy policies that are independent of ours. Please check the privacy policy of Google before using our website at www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/. Google Maps relies on Java Script code, so you can prevent it altogether by disabling Java Script in your browser’s settings or installing a Java Script Blocker. Please note that our website may not display correctly.

We store personal data only as long as we are entitled to it and the processing purpose is not eliminated. For the duration of the storage of personal data, the respective statutory retention period applies. After the deadline, the corresponding data will be routinely deleted, if they are no longer required to fulfill the contract or to initiate a contract.
