Website & Newsletter

When you visit our website, we automatically collect data transmitted from your computer or mobile device for us. An allocation (linking) of data collected during your website visit with other available data does not take place.

Furthermore, we store and process the (personal) data that you provide us when you sign up for our newsletter. The data provided to us will be used for sending the newsletter and marketing activities of Hackabu. By subscribing to the newsletter, the user expressly agrees to the use of the disclosed data for the purposes mentioned. Data for marketing purposes are processed for a period of 5 years.

The collected data will not be passed on to third parties.
‍

General

The processing of the data mentioned in this data protection declaration takes place for the legal reasons of the fulfillment of the contract (Art. 6 (1) lit. DSGVO), the consent (Art 6 Abs 1 lit a DSGVO) and / or for the protection of our legitimate interest (Art 6 Abs 1 lit DSGVO).

Our legitimate interest is to inform our customers and potential customers about our services. Customers and their employees have no disadvantages in using the data provided.

Persons from whom we process personal data have the right at any time to request information about the data processed by them, the purpose of processing, as well as the origin and recipients of their data. A short email – enclosing a copy of the ID card and the message from which our companies request information about the data processing – to: gdpr@hackabu.com is enough. We will answer inquiries as soon as possible, at least within one month.

In addition, persons processing data under the conditions set out in the GDPR have the right to object to the processing of their data, to restrict processing and/or to request that their data be deleted or rectified. Here too, a short mail enclosing a copy of the ID and the indication of the request is sufficient: gdpr@hackabu.com

If data subjects feel that one of the companies listed in this statement processes their data contrary to the provisions on data protection, they have the right to contact the department responsible for data protection (in Austria, this is the data protection authority).
‍

Data Security

The protection of personal data takes place through appropriate organizational and technical arrangements. These precautions relate in particular to protection against unauthorized, unlawful or accidental access, processing, loss, use, and manipulation.

Notwithstanding the efforts to maintain a consistently high level of due diligence, it can not be ruled out that information you share with us over the Internet will be viewed and used by others.

Please note that we, therefore, accept no liability whatsoever for the disclosure of information due to non-caused errors in data transmission and/or unauthorized access by third parties (eg hacker attack on e-mail account or telephone, interception of faxes).

We endeavor to ensure that any data breaches are detected early and, where appropriate, immediately reported to you or the relevant regulatory authority, taking into account the relevant data categories that are affected.
‍

Links to Websites and Third Party Content

The contents of our website may, in turn, refer to other websites and their contents. These websites are not under the responsibility and control of Hackabu. These websites may have separate privacy policies. Hackabu is not responsible for the use and content of these websites and assumes no liability or responsibility for these and the data processing associated with the visit.
‍

Use of Data from our Website

We permit interested third parties to use data contained on our website for information purposes, with reference to our authorship. Any further use – especially of our logo – requires the express consent of Hackabu GmbH.
‍

IP Addresses

For every request to a website, the visitor’s IP address is transmitted to the web server. This is necessary for technical reasons to be able to send the answer to the right recipient. IP addresses are assigned by Internet Service Providers as soon as their customers connect to the Internet. Providers can understand which IP address one of their customers used at a given time. A request to the Internet Service Provider can therefore theoretically determine the identity of a single visitor. For security reasons (for example to prevent hacker attacks) we store the IP addresses of all visitor requests. The generated logs are only used to track security violations and are only viewed in case of suspicion. The IP addresses are also not stored permanently, but deleted after a maximum of 4 weeks.
‍

Cookies

• Performance cookies that ensure optimal performance of the website.
• Google Analytics cookies for information about the use of the website.

Applications

Mailchimp

The newsletter is distributed via “MailChimp”, a newsletter shipping platform of Rocket Science Group, LLC, 675 Ponce De Leon Ave # 5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA.

The e-mail addresses of our Newsletter recipients, as well as their other information described in these notes, are stored on the servers of MailChimp in the USA. MailChimp uses this information to send and evaluate the newsletters on our behalf. Furthermore, MailChimp may, according to its own information, use this data to optimize or improve its own services, e.g. for the technical optimization of the shipping and the presentation of the newsletter or for economic purposes, to determine from which countries the recipients come. However, MailChimp does not use the data of our newsletter recipients to write them down or passes them on to third parties.

We rely on the reliability, IT and data security of MailChimp. MailChimp is certified under the US-EU privacy shield “Privacy Shield” and is committed to complying with EU data protection requirements. Furthermore, we have concluded a data processing agreement with MailChimp. This is a contract in which MailChimp pledges to protect the data of our users, to process it in accordance with its privacy policy on our behalf and, in particular, not to disclose it to third parties. The privacy policy of MailChimp can be viewed here.
‍

Statistical Surveys & Analyses

The newsletters contain a so-called “web-beacon”, i. a pixel-sized file that is retrieved from the MailChimp server when the newsletter is opened. This call will initially collect technical information, such as information about the browser and your system, as well as your IP address and time of retrieval. This information is used to technically improve the services based on the technical data or the target groups and their reading behavior by means of their call locations (which can be determined with the help of the IP address) or the access times.

Statistical surveys also include determining if the newsletters will be opened, when they will be opened and which links will be clicked. For technical reasons, this information can be assigned to the individual newsletter recipients. However, it is neither our desire nor that of MailChimp to observe individual users. The evaluations serve us much more to recognize the reading habits of our users and to adapt our content to them or to send different content according to the interests of our users.
‍

How Social Media Plugins Work

On the pages of Hackabu plug-ins of the social networks Facebook and Twitter are integrated. You can recognize these plug-ins by the respective logos at the bottom of each page.

The default operation of these plug-ins does not conform to our privacy and privacy beliefs, as each visit to our sites would create a direct connection between your browser and the server of the social media platform operator that is not obvious to the visitor ,

By clicking on the activated recommendation button, the operators of the network platforms receive the information that you have visited our site with your IP address. If you e.g. If you click on the Facebook “Like-Button” while you are logged in to your Facebook account, you can link the contents of our pages to your Facebook profile. As a result, Facebook can assign the visit to our pages to your user account. We point out that we as the provider of the pages are not aware of the content of the transmitted data and their use by the operators of the network platforms. Further information can be found in the privacy policy of the respective social media platform: Facebook: www.facebook.com; Twitter: https://twitter.com/.

Facebook Conversion Tracking Pixels

With your permission, our website uses the Conversion Tracking Pixel Service of Facebook, Inc., 1601 S. California Ave., Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA (“Facebook”). This allows us to track the actions of users after they have been redirected to a provider website by clicking on a Facebook ad. This enables us to record the effectiveness of Facebook advertisements for statistical and market research purposes. The collected data remains anonymous. This means that we can not see into the personal data of individual users. However, the collected data will be saved and processed by Facebook.

Use of Viral Loops

The emails are sent and the VIP list is created by means of “viral loops”, a referral platform of the provider Viral Loops Ltd, 21 Aylmer Parade, Aylmer Road, London, England.

The email addresses of our members of the VIP list, as well as their other information described in these notes, are stored on Viral Loops’ servers. Viral Loops uses this information to send and evaluate the emails on our behalf. Furthermore, Viral Loops may, according to its own information, use this data to optimize or improve its own services, e.g. for the technical optimization of the dispatch and the presentation of the emails or for economic purposes to determine from which countries the recipients come. However, Viral Loops does not use the data of our recipients to write them down or passes them on to third parties.

We rely on the reliability, IT and data security of viral loops. The privacy policy of Viral Loops can be viewed here: https://viral-loops.com/privacy

There are cases when we direct the email recipients to the Viral Loops web pages. For example, Our e-mails contain a link that allows recipients to retrieve the e-mail online (for example, in the case of display problems in the e-mail program). Furthermore, receivers may store their data, e.g. correct the e-mail address later. Likewise, the privacy policy of Viral Loops is only available on their page.

In this context, we point out that on the websites of Viral Loops cookies are used and thus personal data processed by viral loops, their partners and service providers used (for example, Google Analytics). We have no influence on this data collection. For more information, see Viral Loops Privacy Policy.

Using Google Adwords Conversion Tracking

We use the online advertising program “Google AdWords” on our website and, in this context, conversion tracking (visit evaluation). Google Conversion Tracking is an analytics service provided by Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; “Google”). When you click on an ad served by Google, a conversion tracking cookie will be placed on your machine. These cookies have a limited validity, contain no personal data and are therefore not for personal identification. If you visit certain pages on our website and the cookie has not expired, Google and we may recognize that you have clicked on the ad and have been redirected to this page. Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. Thus, there is no way that cookies can be tracked through the websites of advertisers.

The information obtained with the help of the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics. This tells us the total number of users who clicked on one of our ads and were redirected to a conversion tracking tag page. However, we do not receive any information that personally identifies users. Processing is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO from the legitimate interest in targeted advertising and the analysis of the impact and efficiency of this advertising.

You have the right, for reasons arising from your particular situation, to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you, based on Art. 6 (1) f DSGVO.

You can prevent the storage of cookies by selecting appropriate technical settings of your browser software. We point out, however, that in this case you may not be able to use all the functions of this website in full. You will not be included in the conversion tracking statistics.

You can also opt out of personalized advertising in Google Ads Ads Settings. You can find instructions on how to do this at https://support.google.com/ads/answer/2662922?hl=e... In addition, you can disable the use of third-party cookies by turning off the Network Advertising Initiative’s opt-out page at https://www.google.com/ads/answer/2662922 : //www.networkadvertising.org/choices/ and implement the further information about the opt-out mentioned there.
