We, “urbnups UG (haftungsbeschränkt)” take the protection of your personal data seriously and would like to inform you about data protection in our company.
We believe that you should always be aware of what data we collect from you and how we use it. Also, we think you should always have effective control over it. We want to empower you to make the best possible decisions about the information you share with us – that is the fundamental purpose of this privacy policy.
As part of our data protection responsibility, additional obligations have been imposed on us by the entry into force of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2016/679; hereinafter: “DS-GVO” ) in order to protect personal data of the person affected by processing ( we address you as the data subject in the following also as “user” ).
Insofar as we decide on the purposes and means of data processing either alone or together with others, this primarily includes the obligation to inform you transparently about the type, scope, purpose, duration and legal basis of the processing (cf. Art. 13 and 14 DS- GMO). With this declaration (hereinafter: ” Privacy Policy “) we inform you how your personal data is processed by us.
Our privacy policy is modular. They consist of a general part for any processing of personal data and processing situations that come into play every time a website is called up (A. General) and a special part, the content of which relates only to the processing situation specified there with the designation of the respective offer or product refers, in particular to visits to websites (B. Visiting websites) and mobile apps (C. Data protection declaration for mobile apps) described in more detail here, as well as information about the web analytics measures used here (D.

Based on the model of Art. 4 DS-GVO, this data protection notice is based on the following definitions:
– “Personal data” (Art. 4 No. 1 DS-GVO) is all information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (“user”). A person can be identified if you can be identified directly or indirectly, in particular by means of assignment to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, an online identifier, location data or using information about your physical, physiological, genetic, psychological, economic, cultural or social identity characteristics can be identified. The identifiability can also be provided by linking such information or other additional knowledge. It is irrelevant how the information came about, its form or its embodiment (photos, video or sound recordings can also contain personal data).

(3) Legal bases for data processing
In principle, any processing of personal data is prohibited by law and is only permitted if the data processing falls under one of the following justifications:
– Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. a DS-GVO (“consent”): If the user has voluntarily, in an informed manner and unequivocally indicated by a declaration or other clear confirmatory action that he/she consents to the processing of personal data concerning him/her for one or more specific purposes agrees;
– Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. b DS-GVO: If the processing is necessary to fulfill a contract to which the user is a party or to carry out pre-contractual measures that are carried out at the request of the user;
– Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. c DS-GVO: If the processing is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation to which the user is subject (e.g. a statutory retention obligation);
– Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. d DS-GVO: If the processing is necessary to protect the vital interests of the user or another natural person;
– Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. e DS-GVO: If the processing is necessary for the performance of a task that is in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority that has been assigned to the user or
– Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f DS-GVO (“legitimate interests”): If the processing is necessary to protect the legitimate (in particular legal or economic) interests of the user or a third party, provided that the conflicting interests or rights of the user do not prevail (especially if this is is a minor).
For the processing operations we carry out, we indicate the applicable legal basis in the following. Processing can also be based on several legal bases.
(4) Data Erasure and Retention Period
For the processing operations we carry out, we state below how long the data will be stored by us and when it will be deleted or blocked. Unless an express storage period is specified below, your personal data will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose or legal basis for storage no longer applies. In principle, your data will only be stored on our servers for as long as you have an account with us, subject to any transfer that may take place in accordance with the provisions in A.(7) and A.(8).
However, storage can take place beyond the specified time in the event of an (impending) legal dispute with you or other legal proceedings or if storage is provided for by statutory provisions to which we are subject as the person responsible (e.g. Section 257 HGB, Section 147 AO). . If the storage period prescribed by the statutory provisions expires, the personal data will be blocked or deleted, unless further storage by us is necessary and there is a legal basis for this.
(5) Data Security
We use appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your data against accidental or intentional manipulation, partial or complete loss, destruction or unauthorized access by third parties (e.g. TSL encryption for our website), taking into account the state of the art and the implementation costs and the nature, scope, context and purpose of the processing and the existing risks of a data breach (including its likelihood and impact) for the data subject. Our security measures are continuously improved in line with technological developments.
We will be happy to provide you with more information on this upon request. To do this, please contact our data protection officer (see under A.(2)).
(6) Cooperation with processors
As with any larger company, we also use external domestic and foreign service providers to handle our business transactions (e.g. for the areas of IT, logistics, telecommunications, sales and marketing). They only act according to our instructions and have been contractually obliged to comply with the data protection regulations in accordance with Art. 28 DS-GVO.
(7) Requirements for the transfer of personal data to third countries
As part of our business relationships, your personal information may be shared or disclosed with third party companies. These may also be located outside the European Economic Area (EEA), i.e. in third countries. Such processing is carried out solely to fulfill contractual and business obligations and to maintain your business relationship with us. We will inform you about the respective details of the transfer below at the relevant points.
The European Commission certifies some third countries through so-called adequacy decisions a data protection comparable to the EEA standard (a list of these countries and a copy of the adequacy decisions can be found here: http://ec.europa.eu/justice/data-protection/ international-transfers/adequacy/index_en.html). In other third countries, to which personal data may be transferred, there may not be a consistently high level of data protection due to a lack of legal provisions. If this is the case, we make sure that data protection is adequately guaranteed. This is possible via binding company regulations, standard contractual clauses of the European Commission for the protection of personal data, certificates or recognized codes of conduct. Please contact our data protection officer (see under A.(3)) if you would like more information on this.
(8) No automated decision-making (including profiling)
We do not intend to use any personal information collected from you for any automated decision-making process (including profiling).
(9) No obligation to provide personal data
We do not make the conclusion of contracts with us conditional on you providing us with personal data beforehand. For you as a customer, there is basically no legal or contractual obligation to provide us with your personal data; however, it may be that we can only provide certain offers to a limited extent or not at all if you do not provide the necessary data. If this should exceptionally be the case with the products we offer presented below, you will be informed of this separately.
(10) Legal obligation to transmit certain data
Under certain circumstances, we may be subject to a special statutory or legal obligation to make lawfully processed personal data available to third parties, in particular public bodies (Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. c DS-GVO).

This is particularly the case if the processing is not necessary for the performance of a contract with you. Unless it is an objection to direct advertising, we ask that you explain the reasons why we should not process your data as we have done when exercising such an objection. In the event of your justified objection, we will examine the situation and will either discontinue or adjust the data processing or show you our compelling reasons worthy of protection on the basis of which we will continue the processing;
– according to Art. 7 para. 3 DS-GVO your once given consent (also before the validity of the DS-GVO, i.e. before May 25th, 2018) – i.e. your voluntary, informed manner and unequivocally made clear by a declaration or other clear confirmatory action that you agree to the processing of the personal data concerned for one or more specific purposes – to revoke this consent at any time, if you have given such permission. As a result, we are no longer allowed to continue the data processing based on this consent for the future and

Cookies allow certain information to flow to the place that sets the cookie. Cookies cannot run programs or transmit viruses to your mobile device, but primarily serve to make the internet offer faster and more user-friendly. This app uses the following types of cookies, whose functionality and legal basis we will explain below.
– Transient cookies: Such cookies, in particular session cookies, are automatically deleted when the mobile app is closed or when you log out. You save a so-called session ID. In this way, various requests from your browser can be assigned to the joint session and your computer can be recognized when you return to our app.
– Persistent cookies: These are automatically deleted after a specified period, which varies depending on the cookie. You can view the cookies set and their duration at any time in your browser settings and delete the cookies manually.
– Other technologies: These functions are not based on cookies, but on similar technical mechanisms such as Flash cookies, HTML5 objects or an analysis of your browser settings. The result is also that we can use the techniques described below. Here, too, you can of course consent or object.
Mandatory functions that are technically necessary for the functioning of the mobile app: The technical structure of the mobile app requires us to use technologies, in particular cookies. Without these techniques, our app cannot be used (entirely correctly) or the support functions could not be enabled. These are basically transient cookies that are deleted after the end of the usage process, at the latest after 30 days. You cannot opt out of these cookies if you want to use our app. The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f GDPR.
Optional cookies when you give your consent: We only set various cookies with your consent, which you can select via the consent manager when you visit our mobile app for the first time. The functions are only activated if you give your consent and can be used in particular to enable us to analyze and improve the use of our mobile app, to make it easier for you to use different browsers or devices, to recognize you during a visit or to place advertising (possibly also to switch to tailor ads to your interests, measure the effectiveness of ads, or show you interest-based ads). The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. a GDPR. The revocation of your consent is possible at any time without affecting the admissibility of the processing until the revocation.

This click then activates the plugin of the respective social network for the future.
Only then will various data be transmitted to the respective social network. This can include:
You can withdraw your consent by clicking on “Privacy Settings” at the bottom of the page.
If you are logged in to the respective social network while visiting our site, it cannot be ruled out that the provider will assign the visit to your account. If you use the plugin functions, this information is also transmitted directly from your browser to the respective social network and stored there if necessary. The purpose and scope of the data collection and the further processing and use of the data by the networks can be found in the data protection notices of the respective social network.
(1) This website uses Google Analytics, a web tracking service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (“Google”). The purpose of our use of the tool is to enable the analysis of your user interactions on websites and in apps and to use the statistics and reports obtained to improve our offer and make it more interesting for you as a user.
(2) We record the interactions between you as a user of the website and our website primarily using cookies, device/browser data, IP addresses and website or app activities. Your IP addresses are also recorded in Google Analytics in order to ensure the security of the service and to give us, as the website operator and app provider, information about the country, region or location of the respective user (so-called “IP – location determination”). For your protection, however, we naturally use the anonymization function (“IP masking”), which means that within the EU/EEA, Google shortens the IP addresses by the last octet.
(3) Google acts as a processor and we have concluded a corresponding contract with Google. The information generated by the cookie and the (usually shortened) IP addresses about your use of this website are usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and processed there. For these cases, Google has set itself a standard that corresponds to the former EU-US Privacy Shield and has promised to comply with applicable data protection laws in international data transfers. We have also agreed so-called standard contractual clauses with Google, the purpose of which is to maintain an appropriate level of data protection in the third country.
(4) The legal basis for the collection and further processing of the information (will be stored for as long as your account exists) is your consent (Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. a DS-GVO). The revocation of your consent is possible at any time without affecting the admissibility of the processing until the revocation. In apps, you can reset the advertising ID under Android or iOS settings. The easiest way to withdraw your consent is to use our consent manager or install the Google browser add-on, which can be accessed via the following link: tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de/.
(5) You can find more information about the scope of services provided by Google Analytics at marketingplatform.google.com/about/analytics/terms/de/. Google provides information on data processing when using Google Analytics under the following link: support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=de/. General information on data processing, which according to Google should also apply to Google Analytics, can be found in Google’s data protection declaration at www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/ .
(6) We use the user ID function. User ID allows us to assign a unique, persistent ID to one or more sessions (and the activities within those sessions) and analyze user behavior across devices. For more information, see the following link: support.google.com/analytics/answer/3123662/. You can withdraw your permission to use this function using the links described above or our Consent Manager.”
(7) We can also check the success of our marketing campaigns by Google linking the information to Google Ads and other products used. You can deactivate the function via the Ads Preferences Manager: www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb/?hl=de/. You can find more information about the link at support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=de/.”
(8) We continue to use Google Signals. To do this, we collect additional information in Google Analytics about users who have activated personalized ads. This gives us advanced reports on demographics and interests, and ads can be delivered to you in cross-device remarketing campaigns.
