Apart from the cases explicitly mentioned in this privacy policy, your personal data will only be shared without your express prior consent if it is legally permissible or necessary.

However, this only happens if there are indications of illegal or abusive behavior. A transfer can also take place if this serves the enforcement of terms of use or other legal claims. We are also legally obliged to provide information to certain public bodies on request. These are criminal prosecution authorities, authorities that pursue administrative offenses that are subject to fines, and the tax authorities.

3. Features used

3.1 Website analysis via Cloudflare

On our website we use Cloudflare Analyitcs provided by Cloudflare, Inc., 101 Townsend St, San Francisco, CA 94107 USA.

It is a privacy sensitive analytics tool, that doesn’t track you across the web. Cloudflare Analytics does’t collect any personal data and does not use technologies like cookies, localStorage or fingerprinting.

Further information on the use of data by Cloudflare can be found in their privacy policy: www.cloudflare.com/de-de/privacypolicy/

3.2 Newsletter dispatch via Mailjet

The newsletters are sent via "Mailjet", a newsletter distribution platform of the company Mailjet, a simplified joint stock company under French law ("Société par actions simplifiée"), registered with the Paris Trade and Companies Register under number 524 536 992, having its registered office at 13-13bis, rue de l'Aubrac - 75012 Paris

Mailjet uses this information to send and evaluate the newsletter on our behalf. Furthermore, Mailjet may use this information to optimize or improve its own services, e.g. for technical optimization of sending and presentation of the newsletter or for economic purposes to determine from which countries the recipients come. However, Mailjet does not use the data of our newsletter recipients to write to them itself or pass them on to third parties.

The privacy policy of Mailjet can be found here: www.mailjet.com/security-privacy/

The newsletters contain a so-called "web-beacon", i.e. a pixel-sized file which is retrieved from the server of Mailjet when the newsletter is opened. In the context of this retrieval, technical information such as browser and system information, as well as your IP address and time of retrieval are collected. This information is used for technical improvement of the services based on the technical data or the target groups and their reading behaviour based on their retrieval locations (which can be determined by means of the IP address) or the access times.

Statistical surveys also include determining whether the newsletters are opened, when they are opened and which links are clicked. For technical reasons, this information can be assigned to the individual newsletters recipients. However, it is neither our nor Mailjet's intention to monitor individual users. The analysis serves 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.

3.3 Billing of charging transactions

We use Stripe Payments Europe Limited, 1 Grand Canal Street Lower, Grand Canal Dock, Dublin, D02 H210, Ireland as a third party credit card payment processing company to collect payment information. If you submit payment information, Stripe will store information such as your debit/credit card number, billing address, phone number, and installed application information in order to process payments. In such circumstances, the third-party provider, and not PUMP, stores your payment information on our behalf acting as a data processor, and in order to process payments to your Wallet inside of the application, they process information about your phone number and installed application information. This data is accessed by PUMP at the end of the charging process for billing and invoicing purposes.

Further information on the use of data by Stripe can be found in their privacy policy: stripe.com/de/privacy.

4. Period of data storage

We will delete or anonymize your personal data as soon as it is no longer required for the purposes for which it was collected or used in accordance with the preceding paragraphs. As a rule, we store your personal data for the duration of the usage or contractual relationship via the platform plus a period of 6 months, during which we keep backup copies after deletion, provided that this data is no longer required for criminal prosecution or to secure, assert or enforce legal claims.

Specific details in this data protection declaration or legal requirements for the storage and deletion of personal data, in particular those which we must store for tax reasons, remain unaffected.
