Cookie Management:

  • Browser Settings: Most browsers let you remove or reject cookies. To do this, follow the instructions in your browser settings. Many browsers accept cookies by default until you change your settings. Please note that if you set your browser to disable cookies or other Tracking Technologies, the App may not work properly. For more information about cookies, including how to see what cookies have been set on your browser and how to manage and delete them, visit www.allaboutcookies.org.
  • Cookie Consent Banners: You can manage your cookie preferences via the consent banner shown on our Website and App. Non-essential cookies and tracking technologies are not deployed until you provide affirmative consent through the consent banner. You may withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future by adjusting your cookie preferences through the same consent mechanism (“Your Privacy Choices” in the footer of our Website); in the App, you can change your choices under Settings › “Your Privacy Choices”. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal. We rely on your consent for setting cookies or processing personal data in accordance with applicable data protection laws. For cookies and similar technologies that are not strictly necessary for the technical operation of our Website and/or App (e.g., analytics, marketing or attribution cookies), we obtain your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR, § 25(1) TDDDG) and process any resulting personal data on the basis of your consent.

V. How We Protect the Information

We take commercially reasonable steps to protect your information from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. Please understand, however, that no security system is impenetrable. We cannot guarantee the security of our databases or the databases of the third parties with which we may share such information, nor can we guarantee that the information you supply will not be intercepted while being transmitted over the Internet. In particular, e-mail sent to us may not be secure, and you should therefore take special care in deciding what information you send to us via e-mail.

VI. Data Retention

We retain your personal data only for as long as necessary and in accordance with applicable legal requirements. Specifically:

  • When processing is based on your consent: until you withdraw consent.
  • When processing is necessary for contractual purposes: until the end of the contractual relationship or the applicable statutory retention period, whichever is longer.
  • When required to comply with legal obligations: for the duration of the applicable legal obligation. This includes statutory retention obligations under German tax and commercial law (Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR).
  • When processing is based on our legitimate interests: until those interests are overridden by your rights or interests in deletion or anonymization.

In particular, account data is stored for as long as your account exists and is deleted after account deletion, except where we must keep it to meet the statutory retention obligations described below; invoice and transaction data are retained for the statutory retention periods under German tax and commercial law (currently 8 or 10 years, § 147 AO, § 257 HGB); and server logs are deleted after a short period. The storage periods of cookies are shown in our cookie settings.

VIII. Children’s Information

The Website and App are intended for users 18 years of age or older, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from individuals under 18.

If you have reason to believe that a child under the age of 18 has provided personal information to us, please contact us, and we will endeavor to delete that information from our databases.

IX. International Data Transfer

We may transfer your personal data outside the European Economic Area or United Kingdom, including to the United States. Inkitt, Inc. is located in the United States and processes personal data of EEA and UK residents in connection with the services it provides. Where we transfer personal data to countries not deemed to provide an adequate level of protection by the European Commission or UK authorities, we implement appropriate safeguards, including:

  • Supplementary measures where required;
  • For transfers to the United States, the European Commission’s adequacy decision of 10 July 2023 under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (Art. 45 GDPR) where the recipient is certified under it, and otherwise the Standard Contractual Clauses (Art. 46(2)(c) GDPR); for transfers from the UK, the UK Addendum to the Standard Contractual Clauses.

In some cases, we may also need you to provide us with additional information, which may include personal data, if necessary to verify your identity and the nature of your request.

  • Right of access: You can request more information about the personal data we hold about you and request a copy of such personal data.

  • Objecting to Legitimate Interest/Direct Marketing: You may object to personal data processed pursuant to our legitimate interest. In such case, we will no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate appropriate, overriding legitimate grounds for the processing or if needed for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.

We will respond to all requests we receive from individuals wishing to exercise their data protection rights in accordance with applicable data protection laws. We reserve the right to keep any information in our archives that we deem necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes and enforce our agreements. Please note that all of these rights are subject to applicable exemptions and restrictions, and are not absolute rights.

You have the right to submit a request through the use of an authorized agent.

V. Exercising Your Privacy Rights

a) Rights to Know, to Request Deletion, and to Request Correction of Personal Information

To exercise these rights, please submit a verifiable consumer request to us entitled “California Privacy Request,” by using the following methods:

What we need to know to fulfill your request

The verifiable consumer request must: (i) provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected Personal Information or an authorized representative; and (ii) describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it. We cannot respond to your request or provide you with Personal Information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the Personal Information related to you. Making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an account with us.

How you will hear back from us

We will confirm receipt of a verifiable consumer request within ten (10) business days of its receipt. We will endeavor to respond to a verifiable consumer request within forty-five (45) calendar days of its receipt. If we require more time, we will notify you of the extension and provide an explanation of the reason for the extension in writing, and we will provide you with a response no later than ninety (90) calendar days of receipt of the request. If you have an account with us, we will deliver our written response to that account. If you do not have an account with us, we will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, at your option. The response we provide will also explain the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable. For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide your Personal Information that is readily usable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance.

We may charge a reasonable fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer requests if they are excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will inform you of the reasons for this decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.

b) Right to Opt-Out of the Sale and/or Sharing of Personal Information

We have implemented technology for the purpose of honoring certain technologies broadcasting an Opt-Out Preference Signal such as the Global Privacy Control (“GPC”). This occurs on the browsers and/or browser extensions that support such a signal. This request will be linked to your browser identifier only and will not tie to your individual identity. We will process your opt-out preference using the GPC in a frictionless manner. This means that (1) we will not charge a fee or require any additional consideration if you use an opt-out signal, (2) your experience with our services will not change after processing of the opt-out signal, and (3) no additional notifications, pop-ups, text, or graphics will appear in response to the opt-out signal.

Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) setting that can send a signal to the websites you visit indicating you do not wish to be tracked. Unlike the GPC described above, there is not a generally accepted understanding of how to interpret DNT signals. However, we have implemented technology to attempt to honor such DNT signals to the best of our ability.

You do not need to create an account with us to exercise your opt-out rights. We will only use Personal Information provided in an opt-out request to review and comply with the request.

VI. Notice of Financial Incentives

On our Website and App, users may sign up to receive our newsletters. In return for your email address, we may offer you certain financial incentives such as a one-time discount off your full price subscription to the App or on the Website. These financial incentives are reasonably related to the value of the Personal Information you provide. We calculate the value of our offers and financial incentives based on the expenses related to offering these benefits to participants. Participation in a financial incentive program requires your prior opt in consent, which you may revoke at any time.

VII. Other California Privacy Rights

Pursuant to Section 1798.83 of the California Civil Code, residents of California have the right to obtain certain information about the types of Personal Information that companies with whom they have an established business relationship (and that are not otherwise exempt) have shared with third parties for direct marketing purposes during the preceding calendar year, including the names and addresses of those third parties, and examples of the types of services or products marketed by those third parties. In order to submit such a request, please contact us at privacy@inkitt.com.

VIII. Changes to this CCPA Privacy Notice

This CCPA Privacy Notice is effective as of the date of the Last Update stated at the top of this CCPA Privacy Notice. We may change this CCPA Privacy Notice from time to time with or without notice to you. By visiting or accessing the Websites or the Services, or otherwise engaging or interacting with us after we make any such changes to this CCPA Privacy Notice, you are deemed to have accepted such changes. Please be aware that, to the extent permitted by applicable law, and without prejudice to the foregoing, our use of your Personal Information is governed by the CCPA Privacy Notice in current effect. Please refer back to this CCPA Privacy Notice on a regular basis.
