How do we collect your data? Your data is collected in part by you providing it to us. This may include, for example, data you enter into a contact form.

Other data is collected automatically or with your consent when you visit the website by our IT systems. This is primarily technical data (e.g. internet browser, operating system, or time of page access). This data is collected automatically as soon as you enter this website.

What do we use your data for?
Some of the data is collected to ensure the error-free provision of the website. Other data may be used to analyse your user behaviour. If contracts can be concluded or initiated via the website, the transmitted data will also be processed for contract offers, orders, or other order enquiries.

General Information on the Legal Bases for Data Processing on This Website
If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR, if special categories of data pursuant to Art. 9(1) GDPR are processed. In the event of explicit consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, data processing also takes place on the basis of Art. 49(1)(a) GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or access to information on your device (e.g. via device fingerprinting), data processing additionally takes place on the basis of § 25(1) TDDDG. Consent can be revoked at any time. If your data is required for the performance of a contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. Furthermore, we process your data if this is required to fulfil a legal obligation, on the basis of Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR. Data processing may also be carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Information about the relevant legal bases in each individual case is provided in the following paragraphs of this privacy policy.

Recipients of Personal Data
In the course of our business activities, we work with various external parties. This sometimes requires the transfer of personal data to these external parties. We only pass on personal data to external parties if this is necessary in the context of contract fulfilment, if we are legally obliged to do so (e.g. transfer of data to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR in the transfer, or if another legal basis permits the transfer. When using processors, we only pass on personal data of our customers on the basis of a valid data processing agreement. In the case of joint processing, a joint processing agreement is concluded.

Revocation of Your Consent to Data Processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke consent you have already given at any time. The lawfulness of the data processing carried out prior to the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

Right to Object to Data Collection in Special Cases and to Direct Marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)
IF DATA PROCESSING IS CARRIED OUT ON THE BASIS OF ART. 6(1)(E) OR (F) GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT AT ANY TIME TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA ON GROUNDS RELATING TO YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. THE RESPECTIVE LEGAL BASIS ON WHICH PROCESSING IS BASED CAN BE FOUND IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR AFFECTED PERSONAL DATA UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING WHICH OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS, OR THE PROCESSING SERVES TO ASSERT, EXERCISE OR DEFEND LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(1) GDPR).

IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT MARKETING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA CONCERNING YOU FOR THE PURPOSE OF SUCH MARKETING; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING INSOFAR AS IT IS ASSOCIATED WITH SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL SUBSEQUENTLY NO LONGER BE USED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT MARKETING (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(2) GDPR).

Right to Lodge a Complaint with the Competent Supervisory Authority
In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, place of work, or place of the alleged infringement. The right to lodge a complaint exists without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.

Competent supervisory authority for Bavaria:
Bayerisches Landesamt für Datenschutzaufsicht (BayLDA)
Promenade 18, 91522 Ansbach
https://www.lda.bayern.de

Right to Data Portability
You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfilment of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a commonly used, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another responsible party, this will only be done insofar as it is technically feasible.

Information, Correction and Deletion
Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to obtain free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of the data processing and, if applicable, a right to correction or deletion of this data. For this and other questions on the subject of personal data, you can contact us at any time.

Right to Restriction of Processing
You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time for this purpose. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:

– If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we generally need time to verify this. For the duration of the review, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.

– If the processing of your personal data has occurred/is occurring unlawfully, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.

– If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it to exercise, defend, or assert legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of deletion.

– If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data – apart from its storage – may only be processed with your consent or for the assertion, exercise, or defence of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.

SSL and TLS Encryption
This site uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or enquiries that you send to us as the site operator. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser line.

If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Encrypted Payment Transactions on This Website
If a payment transaction is processed on our website (e.g. credit card payment), the transmission of your payment data takes place using SSL or TLS protocol encryption. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the lock symbol in the address bar of your browser and by the address bar starting with “https://”.

With an encrypted connection, the payment data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Objection to Promotional Emails
The use of contact details published as part of the legal notice obligation for the purpose of sending unsolicited advertising and information material is hereby objected to. The operators of this website expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of the unsolicited sending of advertising information, such as spam emails.

4. Data Collection on This Website

Server Log Files
The provider of this website automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us.
These are:
– Browser type and browser version
– Operating system used
– Referrer URL
– Hostname of the accessing computer
– Time of the server request
– IP address

This data is not merged with other data sources.

The collection of this data is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimisation of its website – for this purpose, server log files must be recorded.

Contact Form
If you send us enquiries via the contact form, your details from the enquiry form, including the contact details you provided there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the enquiry and in the event of follow-up questions. We do not pass on this data without your consent.

The processing of this data is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, if your request is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of the enquiries directed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) if this has been requested; consent can be revoked at any time.

The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g. after the processing of your enquiry has been completed). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.

Enquiry by Email or Phone
If you contact us by email or phone, your enquiry, including all resulting personal data (name, enquiry), will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of handling your request. We do not pass on this data without your consent.

The data you send to us via contact requests will remain with us until you request deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been fully processed). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular statutory retention periods – remain unaffected.

Processing of Customer and Contract Data
We collect, process, and use personal customer and contract data for the purpose of establishing, shaping the content of, and amending our contractual relationships. We only collect, process, and use personal data about the use of this website (usage data) to the extent necessary to enable the user to use the service or to bill for it. The legal basis for this is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.

The collected customer data will be deleted after completion of the order or termination of the business relationship and expiry of any existing statutory retention periods.

Data Transmission upon Conclusion of a Contract for Services and Digital Content
We only transmit personal data to third parties if this is necessary in the context of contract processing, for example to the credit institution or payment service provider commissioned with payment processing.

Further transmission of data does not take place, or only if you have expressly consented to the transmission. Your data will not be passed on to third parties without express consent, for example for advertising purposes.

The basis for data processing is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures.

5. Analytics Tools and Advertising

Matomo (Cookieless Version, Self-Hosted)
This website uses the open-source web analytics service Matomo.

With the help of Matomo, we are able to collect and analyse data about the use of our website by website visitors. This allows us to find out, among other things, when which page views were made and from which region they come. We also collect various log files (e.g. IP address, referrer, browsers and operating systems used) and can measure whether our website visitors perform certain actions (e.g. clicks, etc.).

The use of this analytics tool is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analysing user behaviour in order to optimise its web offering.

IP Anonymisation
When analysing with Matomo, we use IP anonymisation. Your IP address is shortened before analysis so that it can no longer be clearly assigned to you.

Cookieless Analysis
We have configured Matomo so that it does not store any cookies in your browser. No permanent identifiers are stored on your device. Through the combination of cookieless operation and IP anonymisation, it is possible to analyse user behaviour without the need for a cookie consent banner.

Hosting
We host Matomo exclusively on our own servers (OVHCloud, EU), so that all analytics data remains with us and is not passed on to third parties.

Right to Object to Data Collection
You can object to the collection of your data by Matomo at any time. For further information on Matomo’s privacy settings, please visit: https://matomo.org/privacy-policy/

6. Newsletter

Newsletter Data
If you would like to receive the newsletter offered on the website, we require an email address from you as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the specified email address and that you agree to receive the newsletter. No further data is collected, or only on a voluntary basis. We use this data exclusively for sending the requested information and do not pass it on to third parties.

The processing of data entered in the newsletter registration form is based exclusively on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You can revoke the consent given for the storage of the data, the email address, and their use for sending the newsletter at any time, for example via the “Unsubscribe” link in the newsletter. The lawfulness of the data processing operations already carried out remains unaffected by the revocation.

The data stored with us for the purpose of receiving the newsletter will be stored by us until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and deleted from the newsletter distribution list after unsubscription. We reserve the right to delete or block email addresses from our newsletter distribution list at our own discretion within the scope of our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

Data stored with us for other purposes remains unaffected by this.

After you unsubscribe from the newsletter distribution list, your email address may be stored by us in a blacklist if this is necessary to prevent future mailings. The data from the blacklist is used only for this purpose and not merged with other data. This serves both your interest and our interest in compliance with legal requirements when sending newsletters (legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). The storage in the blacklist is not time-limited. You may object to the storage if your interests override our legitimate interest.

7. Payment Services

Payments in Our Apps and Games (App Store / Play Store / Steam)
Paid content, features, and microtransactions in our mobile applications and PC titles are processed through the respective platform operator through which you purchased or downloaded the application.

As a developer, we have no access to your payment data (e.g. credit card number, bank details, or other payment information) in these cases. We only receive a technical confirmation from the respective platform operator about the successful completion of a purchase and a transaction ID to unlock the purchased content – no personal payment data.

Responsibility for payment processing and the associated processing of your payment data rests solely with the respective platform operator:

– Apple Inc. / Apple Distribution International Ltd. for purchases in the Apple App Store and via Apple Pay:
https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/

Stripe
The provider is Stripe Payments Europe, Ltd., 1 Grand Canal Street Lower, Grand Canal Dock, Dublin, Ireland (hereinafter “Stripe”).

When you make a payment via Stripe, the payment data you enter is transmitted to Stripe. The transmitted data includes name, billing address, email address, payment data (credit card number, card expiry date, verification number), and information about the respective purchase. This data is required for payment processing.

Stripe assumes a dual role as a controller and processor in data processing activities. As a controller, Stripe uses your transmitted data to fulfil regulatory obligations. This corresponds to Stripe’s legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) and serves the performance of the contract (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR). As a processor, Stripe processes transactions within payment networks; in this function, Stripe acts exclusively on our instructions.

Stripe may transfer data to the USA. Stripe is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF) and additionally bases the transfer on the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission pursuant to Art. 46(2) GDPR.

PayPal is an independent controller for the processing of the transmitted data. You have the option to revoke your consent to data processing at any time. A revocation does not affect the validity of past data processing operations.

Payment via PayPal generally requires the opening of a PayPal account through which you manage your data and payment methods. We have no access to your full payment data (e.g. credit card numbers or account details).

PayPal may transfer data to the USA. PayPal bases the transfer on the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission pursuant to Art. 46(2) GDPR.

When you use Apple Pay for a payment, Apple transmits the payment data required for the transaction in encrypted form. Instead of your actual credit card or bank details, a so-called Dynamic Security Code is used, meaning we do not receive complete payment information. We only receive a confirmation of the successful payment and, if applicable, your billing address.

Apple may transfer data to the USA. Apple is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF) and additionally bases the transfer on the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission pursuant to Art. 46(2) GDPR.

9. Social Media

Privacy Policy for Social Media Profiles
We maintain publicly accessible profiles on social networks. The individual social networks we use can be found below.

Social networks such as Instagram, LinkedIn, etc. can generally comprehensively analyse your user behaviour when you visit their website or a website with integrated social media content (e.g. like buttons or advertising banners). Visiting our social media presences triggers numerous data protection-relevant processing operations.

In detail: If you are logged into your social media account and visit our social media presence, the operator of the social media portal can assign this visit to your user account. Your personal data may, under certain circumstances, also be collected if you are not logged in or do not have an account with the respective social media portal. In this case, this data collection takes place, for example, via cookies stored on your device or by recording your IP address.

With the help of the data collected in this way, the operators of the social media portals can create user profiles in which your preferences and interests are stored. In this way, interest-based advertising can be displayed to you both inside and outside the respective social media presence. If you have an account with the respective social network, interest-based advertising can be displayed on all devices on which you are or were logged in.

Please note that we are not aware of all processing processes on the social media portals. Depending on the provider, further processing operations may therefore be carried out by the operators of the social media portals.

Legal Basis
Our social media presences are intended to ensure the most comprehensive possible presence on the internet. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The analysis processes initiated by the social networks may be based on different legal bases, which are to be stated by the operators of the social networks.

Controller and Assertion of Rights
When you visit one of our social media presences, we are jointly responsible with the operator of the social media platform for the data processing operations triggered by this visit (Art. 26 GDPR). You can generally assert your rights (information, correction, deletion, restriction of processing, data portability, and complaint) both against us and against the operator of the respective social media portal.

Please note that despite joint responsibility with the social media portal operators, we do not have full influence over the data processing operations of the social media portals. Our options are largely determined by the corporate policy of the respective provider.

Retention Period
The data directly collected by us via the social media presence will be deleted from our systems as soon as you request deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies. Stored cookies remain on your device until you delete them. Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.

We have no influence over the retention period of your data stored by the operators of social networks for their own purposes. For details, please refer directly to the operators of the social networks (e.g. in their privacy policy, see below).

Our Social Media Presences:
– Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/peakvelop/
– LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/peakvelop/
– Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/peakvelop/
– X: https://www.x.com/peakvelop/

For details on the respective data processing and objection options, please refer to the privacy policies of the respective platform operators.

10. Handling of Applicant Data

We offer you the opportunity to apply to us (e.g. by email). The following information provides details about the scope, purpose, and use of your personal data collected during the application process. We assure you that the collection, processing, and use of your data will take place in accordance with applicable data protection law and all other statutory provisions, and that your data will be treated in strict confidence.

Scope and Purpose of Data Collection
When you send us an application, we process your associated personal data (e.g. contact and communication data, application documents, notes during interviews, etc.) to the extent necessary for the decision on the establishment of an employment relationship. The legal basis for this is § 26 BDSG under German law (initiation of an employment relationship), Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (general contract initiation) and – if you have given consent – Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. Consent can be revoked at any time. Your personal data will only be passed on within our company to persons involved in processing your application.

If the application is successful, the data submitted by you will be stored in our data processing systems for the purpose of implementing the employment relationship on the basis of § 26 BDSG and Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.

Data Retention Period
If we are unable to make you a job offer, you reject a job offer, or you withdraw your application, we reserve the right to retain the data you have transmitted on the basis of our legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) for up to 6 months after the end of the application process. The 6-month period arises in particular from § 15(4) of the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG), pursuant to which claims under the AGG must be asserted within two months of receipt of the rejection; allowing for judicial proceedings, a safe timeframe of six months results. After this, the data will be deleted and physical application documents destroyed.

If it becomes apparent that the data will be required after the expiry of the 6-month period (e.g. due to an impending or pending legal dispute), deletion will not take place until the purpose for further retention no longer applies. A longer retention period may also occur if you have given appropriate consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) or if statutory retention obligations preclude deletion.

Inclusion in the Applicant Pool
If we are unable to make you a job offer, we may be able to include you in our applicant pool. In the event of inclusion, all documents and information from the application will be transferred to the applicant pool in order to contact you in the event of suitable vacancies.

Inclusion in the applicant pool takes place exclusively on the basis of your express consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). Giving consent is voluntary and is not related to the current application process. The data subject may revoke their consent at any time. In this case, the data will be irrevocably deleted from the applicant pool, unless there are statutory grounds for retention.

The data from the applicant pool will be irrevocably deleted no later than two years after the consent was given.

11. Our Apps and Games

Peakvelop develops and publishes mobile applications, games, and PC/desktop titles available via the Apple App Store, the Google Play Store, and the Steam platform. These applications and games may contain their own features, data processing procedures, and third-party services that go beyond the scope of this website privacy policy.
