Privacy policy

In the following, we provide information about the processing of personal data when using

Personal data is all data that can be related to a specific natural person, e.g. their name or IP address.

The controller pursuant to Article 4(7) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is

Hummingbloxs GmbH,
Stromsweg 12,
22085 Hamburg, Germany

Email: hello@Hummingbloxs.com.

We are legally represented by Stephanie von Elmbach, Managing Director and Xenia Meuser, Managing Director.

The scope of data processing, processing purposes and legal bases are explained in detail below. In principle, the following can be considered as the legal basis for data processing:

If we transfer data to service providers or other third parties outside the EEA, the security of the data during transfer is guaranteed by adequacy decisions of the EU Commission (Art. 45 para. 3 GDPR), if available (e.g. for Canada and Israel).

If no adequacy decision exists (e.g. for the USA), the legal basis for data transfer is usually standard contractual clauses, unless we indicate otherwise. These are a set of rules adopted by the EU Commission and form part of the contract with the respective third party. According to Art. 46 para. 2 lit. b GDPR, they guarantee the security of data transfer. Many of the providers have issued contractual guarantees that go beyond the standard contractual clauses and protect the data beyond the standard contractual clauses. These are, for example, guarantees regarding the encryption of the data or regarding the obligation of the third party to inform the data subject if law enforcement agencies wish to access data.

The transfer of data to third parties in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is currently based on the transitional arrangement in the Trade and Cooperation Agreement between the European Union and the United Kingdom.

Unless expressly stated in this privacy policy, the data stored by us will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required for its intended purpose and the deletion does not conflict with any statutory retention obligations. If the data is not deleted because it is required for other and legally permissible purposes, its processing will be restricted, i.e. the data will be blocked and not processed for other purposes. This applies, for example, to data that we are required to retain for commercial or tax law reasons.

Data subjects have the following rights vis-à-vis us with regard to their personal data:

Affected persons also have the right to complain to a data protection supervisory authority about the processing of their personal data.

Customers, interested parties or third parties only have to provide us with the personal data that is necessary for the establishment, execution and termination of the business relationship or other relationship or that we are legally obliged to collect. Without this data, we will generally have to refuse to conclude a contract or provide a service or will no longer be able to perform an existing contract or other relationship.

Mandatory information is marked as such.

In principle, we do not use fully automated decision-making pursuant to Article 22 GDPR to establish and implement a business relationship or other relationship. Should we use these procedures in individual cases, we will inform you of this separately if this is required by law.

When you contact us, e.g. by email or telephone, the data you provide us with (e.g. names and email addresses) will be stored by us in order to answer your questions.

The legal basis for processing is our legitimate interest (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR) in answering inquiries addressed to us. We delete the data collected in this context after storage is no longer necessary or restrict processing if there are statutory retention obligations.

We occasionally offer competitions via our website or in other ways. We process the data requested to determine and notify the winners. We then delete the data. We may also offer competitions only for existing customers. In this case, we only process the name to determine the winners and the contact details to notify the winners. It is in our legitimate interest to offer competitions to attract customers or to interact with our existing customers. The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR.

From time to time, we conduct customer surveys to get to know our customers and their wishes better. We collect the data requested in each case. It is our legitimate interest to get to know our customers and their wishes better, so that the legal basis for the associated data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. We delete the data once the results of the surveys have been evaluated.

When the website is used for informational purposes, i.e. when visitors to the site do not transmit information to us separately, we collect the personal data that the browser transmits to our server in order to ensure the stability and security of our website. This is our legitimate interest, so the legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. ‍

These data are:

This data is also stored in log files. They are deleted when their storage is no longer required, at the latest after 14 days.

Our website is hosted by Hetzner Online GmbH in Germany. The provider processes the personal data transmitted via the website, e.g. content, usage, meta/communication data or contact data. It is our legitimate interest to provide a website, so the legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR.

When you contact us via the contact form on our website, we store the data requested there and the content of the message.

The legal basis for the processing is our legitimate interest in responding to inquiries addressed to us. The legal basis for processing is therefore Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR.

We delete the data collected in this context after storage is no longer required or restrict processing if there are statutory retention obligations.

We publish job vacancies in our company on our website, on pages linked to the website or on third-party websites.

The processing of the data provided in the application is carried out to carry out the application process. Insofar as this is necessary for our decision to establish an employment relationship, the legal basis is Art. 88 para. 1 GDPR in conjunction with Section 26 para. 1 BDSG. We have marked the data required to carry out the application process accordingly or refer to it. If applicants do not provide this data, we will not be able to process the application.

Further data is voluntary and not required for an application. If applicants provide further information, this is based on their consent (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR).

We ask applicants to refrain from providing information on political opinions, religious beliefs and similar sensitive data in their CV and cover letter. They are not required for an application. If applicants nevertheless provide such information, we cannot prevent their processing as part of the processing of the CV or cover letter. Their processing is then also based on the consent of the applicants (Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a GDPR).

Finally, we process the applicants' data for further application procedures if they have given us their consent to do so. In this case, the legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR.

We pass on the applicants' data to the responsible employees in the HR department, to our processors in the area of recruiting and to the other employees involved in the application process.

If we enter into an employment relationship with the applicant following the application process, we only delete the data after the employment relationship has ended. Otherwise, we will delete the data no later than six months after rejecting an applicant.

If applicants have given us their consent to use their data for further application procedures, we will only delete their data one year after receiving the application.

We use the Google Analytics tool for analysis. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Dublin, D04e5w5, Ireland. The provider processes usage data (e.g. websites visited, interest in content, access times) and meta/communication data (e.g. device information, IP addresses) in the USA. The legal basis for processing is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR. Processing is carried out on the basis of consent. Data subjects can withdraw their consent at any time, e.g. by contacting us using the contact details provided in our privacy policy. The revocation does not affect the legality of the processing until the revocation. The legal basis for the transfer to a country outside the EEA is standard contractual clauses. The security of the data transferred to the third country (i.e. a country outside the EEA) is guaranteed in accordance with the review procedure pursuant to Art. 93 para. 2 GDPR standard data protection clauses (Art. 46 para. 2 lit. c GDPR), which we have agreed with the provider. We delete the data when the purpose for which it was collected no longer applies.

We are represented on social media networks in order to present our company and our services there. The operators of these networks regularly process their users' data for advertising purposes. Among other things, they create user profiles from their online behavior, which are used, for example, to display advertising on the pages of the networks and elsewhere on the Internet that corresponds to the interests of the users. For this purpose, the network operators store information on user behavior in cookies on the user's computer. It is also possible that the operators may combine this information with other data. Users can find further information and information on how users can object to processing by the site operators in the privacy policies of the respective operators listed below. It is also possible that the operators or their servers are located in non-EU countries, meaning that they process data there. This may result in risks for users, e.g. because the enforcement of their rights is made more difficult or government agencies gain access to the data.

When users of the networks contact us via our profiles, we process the data provided to us in order to respond to the inquiries. This is our legitimate interest, so the legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR.
