This Privacy Policy describes how myKiids and its affiliates (“we,” “us,” or “myKiids”), process personal information in relation to your use of the Platform. The following Privacy Policy is therefore intended to inform you about the processing of your personal data in accordance with the European General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”).

5. Cookies

In order to make our services and our website as User-friendly as possible and to enable the use of certain functions of the website, we use so-called Cookies. These are small text files that are stored on your terminal device by your browser. A text file of this type contains a characteristic character string that allows the browser to be uniquely identified when the website is accessed again. For example, Cookies can be used to automatically recognize certain website settings you have selected for your next visit. Some of the Cookies we use are required in order to provide you with the website (technically necessary Cookies). Other Cookies are used to analyse your usage behaviour (analysis Cookies) or for advertising purposes (advertising Cookies). Some of the Cookies we use are deleted after the end of a session, i.e. after closing your browser (session Cookies). Other Cookies remain on your terminal device and enable us to recognize your browser the next time you visit our website (persistent Cookies). You can set your browser in such a way that you are informed about the placing of Cookies and can decide individually about their acceptance or exclude the acceptance of Cookies for certain cases or generally. Please refer to your browser’s help function for more information. Your browser also contains settings that prevent Cookies from being placed. As a user, you therefore have full control over the use of Cookies. By changing the settings in your browser, you can deactivate or restrict the transmission of cookies (and thus object to the creation of pseudonyms in accordance with § 15 Para. 3 TMG). Cookies that have already been saved can be deleted at any time. This can also be done automatically by setting your browser accordingly. Certain Cookies also offer further technical options (such as setting an “opt-out Cookie”) in order to object to the use of the Cookie. Information on this can be found in the respective detailed description of the Cookie further down below. However, the functionality of our website may be limited if Cookies are prevented from being placed. In detail:

5.1. To enable the website to function properly, we use technically necessary Cookies, for example to store language settings and log-in information. The legal basis for the processing of technically necessary Cookies is Article 6 para. 1 sentence 1 letter f) GDPR. The functionality of our website is a legitimate interest.

5.2. We use analysis Cookies that allow us to track your use of our website, e.g. which third-party website you came from, which sub-pages of our website you visit and which links you clicked on and how often. The data collected about you in this way is pseudonymised by us through technical precautions. After pseudonymization, direct assignment of the data to the User is no longer possible. The data will not be stored together with other personal data. The use of analysis Cookies serves to improve our website and the content offered there. By accepting our “Cookie banner”, you consent to the processing of your personal data through analysis Cookies. These personal data are processed on the basis of Article 6 para. 1 sentence 1 letter a) GDPR. We use the following analysis Cookies:

• Insyt Analytics – no cookies are used via this platform

5.3. For advertising purposes we use advertising Cookies of third parties. These Cookies enable us to tailor advertisements displayed in your browser to your interests on the basis of your browsing behavior.

• We use Google AdWords with Google Conversion Tracking. This is a service provided by Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; “Google”). Google AdWords is used to display HD pages on Google in the advertising space area. When you access our website via a Google ad, Google Adwords places a cookie on your device (“Conversion Cookie”). This cookie expires after 30 days. It will not be used for personal identification. If the cookie has not expired when you visit certain pages, we and Google can see that someone clicked on the ad and was directed to our site. Each AdWords customer receives a different cookie. As a result, cookies cannot be traced through the websites of AdWords customers. The information collected by the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. AdWords customers see the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were directed to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, we will not receive any information that personally identifies you. If you do not wish to participate in the tracking process, you can decline to set a required cookie – for example, with a browser setting that generally disables the automatic setting of cookies. You can also deactivate cookies by setting your browser to block cookies from the “googleadservices.com” domain.

The data collected about you through advertising Cookies is pseudonymised by us through technical precautions. After pseudonymization, direct assignment of the data to the User is no longer possible. By accepting our “Cookie banner”, you consent to the processing of your personal data through advertising Cookies. These personal data are processed on the basis of Article 6 para. 1 sentence 1 letter a) GDPR.

6. Contact

You can contact us through various channels:

6.1. You can use the contact form on our website to contact us for a request. The personal data you enter in the contact form (your first and last name, your e-mail address and details of the nature of your request are required) will only be processed for the purpose of responding to your enquiry and only if you have clicked on the “Send” button. Your IP address and the time of sending your request will also be stored. Processing is carried out on the basis of Article 6 para. 1 sentence 1 letter a) GDPR.

6.2. You can also contact us by telephone or e-mail. In this respect, too, only the personal data required to respond to your enquiry will be processed. Processing is carried out on the basis of Article 6 para. 1 sentence 1 letter a) GDPR.

6.3. You can object to the storage of your data at any time, for example by e-mail to privacy@mykiids.com. In this case, however, further processing of your request is not possible. Furthermore, the revocation has no effect on the legality of the processing of your data until then.

7. Social Media

7.1. We use social plugins from the following social networks:

• Facebook; Instagram (operated by: Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA and Facebook Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland);
• Twitter (operator: Twitter Inc., 795 Folsom St., Suite 600, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA);
• Google (operated by: Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA).

7.2. To protect your personal data, we use the so-called “two-click solution”, which ensures that the data transfer via the social plugins to the corresponding operator of the social network only takes place after you have activated the social plugin beforehand. Social plugins are initially disabled and do not connect to social networking sites without activation. If you activate one of these plugins, you agree that your personal data described in this section will be transferred to the social network. In this case, the transfer of personal data is based on Article 6 paragraph 1 sentence 1 letter a) GDPR.

7.3. If you activate the deactivated social plugins by default, a connection to the servers of the social network is established. Each social plugin then transfers data to the respective social network. We have no influence on the amount of data that the respective social network collects with the help of the social plugin. As far as we know, social networks receive information about which of our websites you have visited currently and earlier. With each activated social plugin, a Cookie with a unique identifier is set each time the respective website is accessed. In this way, the social network can create a profile of your usage behavior. It cannot be ruled out that such a profile can be assigned to you, even if you log on to the social network for the first time at a later time.

7.4. If you are already logged into a social network when you visit our websites, the operator of this social network can assign the visit to your personal account as soon as you activate the social plug-ins. When using social plugin functions (e.g. “Like” button, comment or “Tweets”), the information is transmitted directly from your browser to the corresponding social network and stored there. The same applies to calling up a website of a social network by clicking on the corresponding icon button.

7.5. If you are not a member of a social network, social networks may obtain and store your IP address and information about the browser and operating system you are using even after you activate the social plug-ins. The scope and purpose of the collection, processing and use of data by social networks as well as information on rights and setting options for the protection of your privacy can be found in the data protection information of the respective social network.

7.6. Our website also contains simple links to Facebook, YouTube and Twitter. In this case a data transfer to the mentioned social networks only takes place if the corresponding icon button (e.g. the “f” of Facebook or the bird symbol of Twitter) is clicked. Clicking on such a button opens a page of the corresponding social network in a popup window.

8. Data Security

We use technical and organizational measures to ensure that User‘s personal data are protected against loss, incorrect changes or unauthorized access by third parties. To ensure secure data transmission, the transmission of data is done exclusively via “Secure Socket Layer (SSL)”.

The security of your data is important to us, but remember that no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your Personal Data, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

9. Your Rights

You can exercise any of the rights described in this section consistent with applicable law. See here for information on data subject rights requests and how to submit a request. We may ask you to verify your identity and request before taking further action on your request. As a data subject within the meaning of the GDPR, you are entitled to the following rights:

• The right to obtain information on data processing and a copy of the data processed (right of access, Article 15 GDPR),
• the right to request the rectification of inaccurate data or the completion of incomplete data (right of rectification, Article 16 GDPR),
• the right to request the deletion of personal data and, if the personal data have been published, the information to other data controllers on the request for deletion (right of erasure, Article 17 GDPR),
• the right to request the restriction of data processing (right to restriction of processing, Art. 18 GDPR),
• the right to receive personal data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and to request the transfer of such data to another controller (right to data portability, Article 20 GDPR),
• the right to object to data processing in order to prevent it (right of objection, Article 21 GDPR),
• the right to withdraw your consent at any time in order to prevent the processing of data based on your consent. The withdrawal has no influence on the legality of the processing on the basis of the consent before the withdrawal (right of revocation, Article 7 GDPR) as well as
• the right to object to certain data processing measures (Article 21 GDPR).

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority if you believe that data processing infringes the GDPR (right of appeal to a supervisory authority, Article 77 GDPR).

9.1. Managing Your Information

You can access and update some of your personal information through your Account settings. If you connected your myKiids Account to a third-party service, like Facebook or Google, you can change your settings and unlink from that service in your Account settings. You are responsible for keeping your personal information up to date.

9.2. Data Access and Portability

In some jurisdictions, applicable law may entitle you to request certain copies of your personal information or information about how we handle your personal information, request copies of personal information that you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, and/or request that we transmit this information to another service provider (where technically feasible).

10. Payment

We may provide paid products and/or services within the Service. In that case, we use third-party services for payment processing (e.g. payment processors). We will not store or collect your payment card details. That information is provided directly to our third-party payment processors whose use of your personal information is governed by their Privacy Policy. These payment processors adhere to the standards set by PCI-DSS as managed by the PCI Security Standards Council, which is a joint effort of brands like Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Discover. PCI-DSS requirements help ensure the secure handling of payment information. The payment processors we work with include among others:

Stripe

Their Privacy Policy can be viewed at https://stripe.com/us/privacy

PayPal

Their Privacy Policy can be viewed at https://www.paypal.com/webapps/mpp/ua/privacy-full

11. Links to other Sites

Our Service may contain links to other sites that are not operated by us. If you click on a third party link, you will be directed to that third party’s site. We highly advise you to review the Privacy Policy of every site you visit. We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies or practices of any third party sites or services.

12. Changes to this privacy policy

We reserve the right to modify this Privacy Policy at any time in accordance with applicable law. If we do so, we will post the revised Privacy Policy and update the “Last Updated” date at the bottom. In case of material changes, we will also provide you with notice of the modification by email at least thirty (30) days before the effective date. If you disagree with the revised Privacy Policy, you can cancel your Account. If you do not cancel your Account before the date the revised Privacy Policy becomes effective, your continued access to or use of the myKiids Platform will be subject to the revised Privacy Policy.
