B. General Information and Mandatory Information

I. Data privacy

Data protection is a matter of trust and iboxxit GmbH (“iboxxit”) attaches great importance to the trust of all users of all users. “Users” in the sense of this data protection declaration are the customers in the sense of the contractual provisions, their authorized users in the sense of section 3.7 of the GTC and the visitors to the iboxxit website. iboxxit respects their privacy and personal sphere. The protection and the lawful collection, processing and use of personal data is therefore an important concern for iboxxit. When collecting, processing and using personal data, iboxxit complies with legal regulations and informs the user about the collection, processing and use of personal data. This data protection declaration can be viewed at any time on the website www.iboxxit.com under the link “Data protection declaration” and can be printed or saved with the web browser. Unless otherwise expressly stated, this German version is legally binding and authoritative and any foreign language versions are for information purposes only. When you use this website, various personal data is collected. Personal data is data with which you can be personally identified. This data protection declaration explains which data we collect and for what we use it. It also explains how and for what purpose this is done. We would like to point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g. communication by e-mail) can have security gaps. A complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

III. Revocation of your consent to data processing

IV. Right of appeal to the competent supervisory authority

In the event of breaches of data protection law, the person concerned has a right of appeal to the competent supervisory authority. The responsible supervisory authority for data protection issues is the data protection officer of the federal state in which our company is based.

V. Right to data transferability

You have the right to have data which 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 common, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another person responsible, this will only take place if it is technically feasible.

VI. SSL or TLS encryption

This site uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or requests that you send to us as the site operator. You can recognize 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.

VII. Encrypted payment transactions on this website

If after the conclusion of a chargeable contract there is an obligation to provide us with your payment data (e.g. account number for direct debit authorization), this data is required for payment processing. Payment transactions via the usual means of payment (Visa/MasterCard, direct debit) are made exclusively via an encrypted SSL or TLS connection. You can recognize 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. In the case of encrypted communication, your payment data that you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

VIII. Information, blocking, deletion

You have the right to free information about your stored personal data, their origin and recipients and the purpose of data processing and, if necessary, a right to correction, blocking or deletion of this data at any time within the scope of the applicable legal provisions.

C. Data collection on our website

I. Cookies

Some of the Internet pages use so-called cookies. Cookies do not cause any damage to your computer and do not contain any viruses. Cookies serve to make our website more user-friendly, effective and secure. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and saved by your browser. Most of the cookies we use are so-called “session cookies”. They are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Other cookies remain stored on your terminal until you delete them. These cookies enable us to recognize your browser the next time you visit our website. You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or generally and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. When cookies are deactivated, the functionality of this website may be limited. Cookies, which are necessary to carry out the electronic communication process or to provide certain functions desired by you (e.g. shopping basket function), are stored on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the storage of cookies for technically error-free and optimized provision of his services. As far as other cookies (e.g. cookies for the analysis of your surfing behaviour) are stored, these will be treated separately in this data protection declaration.

II. Server log files

The provider of the pages 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
  • Host name of the accessing computer
  • Time of the server request
  • IP address

These data are not combined with other data sources. The basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO, which permits the processing of data for the fulfilment of a contract or pre-contractual measures.

III. Contact form

If you send us enquiries using the contact form, your details from the enquiry form, including the contact data you provided there, will be stored for the purpose of processing the enquiry and in the event of follow-up questions. We will not pass on this data without your consent. The data entered in the contact form is therefore processed exclusively on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO). You can revoke this consent at any time. All you need to do is send us an informal e-mail. The legality of the data processing processes carried out up to the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation. The data entered by you in the contact form will remain with us until you request us to delete, your consent for storage revoked or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.

IV. Registration and creation of a customer account

You can register on our website or in our apps to use the iboxxit services. The following data is collected: the customer name given by the user upon registration, if applicable its profile picture as well as the iboxxit-ID assigned by iboxxit to identify storage locations for the items managed with the iboxxit services, the IT resource consumption of the customer, the scope of services of the iboxxit version used by the customer, the settings for the various apps (including language and currency), the version used by the customer as well as the installed apps, data transmitted via the Google Play Store or Apple App Store about program versions and/or program crashes used as well as the payment information transmitted by PayPal – within the scope of the terms of use and data protection applicable to PayPal. Information on bank details and credit cards is only collected by iboxxit itself under special circumstances after the customer has provided iboxxit with the relevant information. If and insofar as authorized users make use of iboxxit services, their corresponding data will also be collected and attributed to the customer. The password for the customer account is not visible to iboxxit and is stored encrypted. It can be reset on request of the customer. We use the above data only for the purpose of using the respective offer or service for which you have registered. The mandatory information requested during registration must be provided in full. Otherwise we will refuse the registration. The aforementioned data will be processed by iboxxit and used to manage the business relationship with the customer and – within the framework of legal regulations and as long as the customer agrees to this – for its own advertising purposes. The data will not be passed on to third parties without the customer’s consent. Support requests can be linked to the customer or the customer account of the customer in the context of a so-called ticket system to optimize customer service. In the event of important changes, such as the scope of the offer or technically necessary changes, we will use the e-mail address provided during registration to inform you in this way. The data entered during registration will be processed on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO). You can revoke your consent at any time. All you need to do is send us an informal e-mail. The legality of the data processing already carried out remains unaffected by the revocation. The data collected during registration will be stored by us as long as you are registered in our system and will then be deleted. Legal retention periods remain unaffected.

V. Use of the iboxxit website after registration

Even after the customer has registered, the data described in the above paragraphs will be collected, processed and used with regard to the use of the iboxxit website. As long as the customer or authorized user is logged on to the iboxxit website, the iboxxit server automatically collects data on how the iboxxit website is used in a so-called activity log. With regard to the customer or authorised user within the meaning of Section 3.7 of the GTC, information on activity, number of registrations, etc. as well as statistical data (such as browser, date and time of access, cookie ID and referrer, the amount of data transferred and the IP address) are recorded. The aforementioned data is only used by iboxxit to provide the iboxxit services, to create anonymous statistics and to check compliance with the contractual provisions (in particular the contractual use and the prohibition of the use of iboxxit services by robots).

VI. use of apps and creation of customer content

The iboxxit services serve the visual recording of objects (including photos, descriptions, number, value, the respective storage locations and other data) by the customer or authorised user (the “customer content” according to contract provisions), enable the customer or authorised user to access them using different end devices and apps and allow the customer or authorised user to do so, Share the Customer Content with other customers and authorized users of other customers in such a way that they can view and search the Customer’s or authorized user’s items to the extent specified by the releasing customer or authorized user. The customer is responsible for the collection, processing and use of customer content within the framework of the statutory provisions and must ensure that its authorised users also comply with the statutory provisions. If and insofar as iboxxit is to administer personal data on behalf of the customer, iboxxit will participate in the conclusion of an agreement on order data processing on request of the customer in accordance with the contractual provisions. The customer contents are only viewed by iboxxit in a way that can be assigned to the customer within the scope of support requests of the customer or authorized users with their consent. They will not be made accessible to third parties, passed on in any other way or published. Excluded from this are enforceable orders of courts and/or authorities directed to such a publication, which iboxxit will comply with. If the customer has activated the weekly news in the settings, he receives an automatically generated e-mail with current information about the status of mutual release of customer content with other users as well as changes to released customer content of such users. The relevant information is automatically compiled by iboxxit without iboxxit taking note of the relevant information.

VII. processing of data (customer and contract data)

We collect, process and use personal data only to the extent necessary for the establishment, content design or change of the legal relationship (inventory data). This is done on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO, which permits the processing of data for the fulfilment of a contract or pre-contractual measures. We collect, process and use personal data about the use of our Internet pages (usage data) only to the extent necessary to enable or invoice the user for the use of the service. The collected customer data will be deleted after completion of the order or termination of the business relationship. Legal retention periods remain unaffected.

VIII. Data transmission upon conclusion of contract for services and digital content

We only transfer personal data to third parties if this is necessary in the context of contract processing, for example to the credit institution commissioned to process payments. A further transmission of the data will not take place or only if you have expressly consented to the transmission. Your data will not be passed on to third parties without your express consent, for example for advertising purposes. The basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO, which permits the processing of data for the fulfilment of a contract or pre-contractual measures.

D. Data security, secure data transmission

The data is stored (i) on computers located in Germany and (ii) servers of iboxxit GmbH on an Amazon Cloud server (Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) in the Frankfurt am Main region in Germany, but Amazon has basically no access to it. The Amazon regulations and the functioning of the Amazon Cloud Server and the handling of personal data can be viewed here: Terms of Service Amazon.com, Inc. and Data Protection Whitepaper Amazon.com, Inc.). iboxxit has also concluded an AWS order data processing agreement with Amazon Web Services, which meets the requirements of the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses for the transfer of personal data to contractors in third countries (i.e. outside the EU and EEA). In addition, iboxxit has taken technical and organizational measures to protect the iboxxit website and the data processing system against loss, destruction, access, modification or distribution of personal data by unauthorized persons. Personal data is transmitted securely using encryption. This applies to orders and also to the customer login; iboxxit uses the SSL (Secure Socket Layer) coding system.
