This privacy policy describes the collection, use, disclosure, storage, and protection of your personal data. It applies to any web page of "PiggyB SIA" where this Privacy Policy is referenced in the footer and to any application, service, or tool where this Privacy Policy is referenced, regardless of how you access or use the Services, including access via mobile devices. By using our websites and by accessing our advertising services and our services, you accept this Privacy Policy and expressly consent to the collection, use, storage, and protection of your personal data as described herein.
We collect and store personal data only to the extent that this is absolutely necessary. When collecting, processing, using, and disclosing your personal data, we comply with the European General Data Protection Regulation (EU-GDPR). Below, you will be informed about what kind of data is collected and for what purpose it is collected:
Security of your data
Your personal data made available to us is secured by taking all technical and organizational security measures so that it is inaccessible to unauthorized third parties. When sending very sensitive data or information, it is recommended to use the postal service, as complete data security cannot be guaranteed via e-mail.
1. Handling of customer data
Personal data, in particular name, address, phone number, e-mail address, and pictures, are only collected and processed if you provide this information voluntarily, e.g., in the context of an inquiry, advertisement, or another commissioning. The data is stored in our customer systems, which are not accessible to unauthorized third parties. We will only transfer this data insofar as it is necessary for the fulfillment of our contractually owed services. For any further use of personal data and the collection of additional information, the consent of the data subject is regularly required.
Our websites are partially linked to each other so that the advertising publication of your data made available to us takes place automatically on other websites of "PiggyB SIA" or sub-sites.
Legal basis for the processing
All customer data is collected and stored on the basis of your consent within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1, lit. a) GDPR in conjunction with Art. 9 para. 1 and Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a) GDPR. This data is also processed in the context of the fulfillment of our contractually owed services within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1, lit b) GDPR. An exception applies in those cases in which the processing of the data is permitted by legal regulations.
Process of consent
The Customer's consent to the processing of data for contractual purposes shall be deemed to have been given as soon as a check mark is placed in the box of the consent form. Within the scope of this process, we store, in particular, your master data (name, address, e-mail address, phone number, pictures) as well as further specified customer data about your person. In addition, we automatically have access to the following data, which, however, is not stored by us unless we need it to fulfill our contractually owed service:
- Your browser data (browser type and version)
- MAC Address
- IP Address
- Operating system and device information as well as other derivable user data
According to Art. 6 para. 1, lit a) GDPR, your consent is required to lawfully process personal data. Unless you give us the required consent based on the process described above, we store your personal data at least on the basis of Art. 6 para.1 lit b) GDPR to fulfill our contractual obligations.
Duration of data storage
After the contract has been fully executed, which usually ends after the advertising-related ad placement, we will remove the data made available to the public from our website. In our customer system, data is stored only as long as it is required for its contractual purpose. Due to recurring follow-up orders, the data will be stored in our operational customer system until the time of the revocation of your consent.
Your data will also be made available on technically linked third-party websites or sub-sites of "PiggyB SIA" until the time of your revocation against publication on these sites.
We cannot guarantee complete data security from the time your data is published. In particular, due to the numerous calls to our website by third parties, we cannot exclude the possibility that the information you made available (in particular address, phone number, names, pictures, etc.) may be copied, reproduced, stored, or transferred.
Objection options
Unless there are necessary reasons in connection with a business transaction, you may at any time revoke the previously given consent of your personal data storage with immediate effect in writing (e.g., via e-mail or by fax) (according to Art. 21 GDPR). To ensure data security for our customers, it is necessary in the event of revocation that the revoking person authenticates himself using meaningful proof of identification. Your personal data (phone number, e-mail address, place of residence, pictures, advertisement texts) will then be deleted immediately from our customer system - with regard to the retention periods under tax and commercial law. You can also notify us in writing of important changes to your data. In accordance with applicable law, you can also ask us at any time whether and what personal data we have stored about you. You will receive a corresponding notification on request.
2. Handling of access data and server log files
Each time you access our website and each time you retrieve the content stored on our website, your browser transmits data that is automatically recorded by our system.
Legal basis for the processing
The legal basis for the collection and temporary storage of the data and the log files is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. By visiting and using our website, you consent to the data collection and temporary storage.
Data transmission and logging
Each time you access/call up our website, the following data is transmitted and automatically recorded:
- Browser type and version
- Operating system used
- IP address of the requesting computer
- Access date/time
- Amount of data transferred
- Message whether the access/retrieval was successful
The data is stored in the log files of our system. This data is not stored together with other personal data of the user.
Purpose of data processing
The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to enable delivery of the website to the user's computer. For this purpose, the user's IP address must remain stored for the duration of the session.
The storage of this data also serves statistical purposes in individual cases. Any other use or disclosure to third parties, for commercial or non-commercial purposes, will not take place. We reserve the right to check the listed data subsequently if there is a suspicion of illegal use of our offer.
The log files are stored to ensure the functionality of the website. In addition, we use the data to optimize the website and to ensure the security of our information technology systems. These purposes are also our legitimate interest in data processing according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.
Duration of data storage
The access data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. In the case of the collection of data for the provision of the website, this is the case when the respective session has ended.
In the case of data storage in log files, this is the case after 90 days at the latest. Storage beyond this is possible. In this case, the IP addresses of the users are alienated so that an assignment of the calling client is no longer possible.
Objection and removal options
The collection of data and the storage of data in log files is mandatory for the operation of the website. Consequently, there is no option for the user to object.
3. Handling of registrations, contact forms, and contributions
If there is a contact form on our website or if you have the option of registering or creating a user account, the personal data you provide in the entry mask will be transmitted to us and stored as part of such a process (in addition to the automatically collected technical data). These are usually.
- First and last name (if specified)
- Username
- Pseudonym/Nickname
- Phone number (if provided)
- E-mail address (if provided)
- other personal data that must be provided in the context of applications, log-in areas, order forms, or registrations
The data will be used exclusively for the processing of the conversation. In principle, the data will only be stored by "PiggyB SIA" and will not be disclosed to third parties. Insofar as it concerns user inquiries relating to advertisements of an advertiser, the personal data provided within the framework of the contact form, including the message text, will be forwarded to this advertiser for the purpose of establishing contact.
We will transfer their data securely to the advertisers and will not share it with any other third parties without your prior consent. Please also note the respective privacy policies of the advertisers, as we cannot influence whether and for what purpose your data is stored by third parties.
Legal basis for the processing
The legal basis for the processing of the data, if the user has given his consent, is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR.
The legal basis for the processing of data transmitted in the course of sending an e-mail is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. If the e-mail contact aims at the conclusion of a contract, the additional legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR.
Purpose of data processing
The processing of personal data from the entry mask serves us solely to process the contact. In the case of contact via e-mail, this also constitutes the necessary legitimate interest in processing the data.
The personal data processed in the context of log-ins, registrations, or when using our contact form during the submission process serve to prevent misuse of the contact form and to ensure the security of our information technology systems. The storage of the IP address is solely for purposes of legal requirements for us as the operator of the website. Your IP address must be verifiable for us so that it can be checked in criminal cases. Furthermore, the collection of this data is necessary so that we can offer our services at all.
Furthermore, your registration data will only be used for internal company analysis purposes, e.g., for statistical evaluation of user behavior. Without your consent, we will, of course, not disclose this data to third parties unless we are required to do so by law or the disclosure serves to clarify a legal violation.
Submitted online comments or contributions are published either with the registered clear name (first and last name) or a pseudonym (nickname) selected by the comment author. Your full name is therefore only visible to other users if you enter it as a user name during registration. If you do not wish your real name to be published, it is advisable to choose a pseudonym.
Duration of storage
The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. This is usually the case for the data collected during the registration process when the registration on our website is cancelled or modified.
Even after the registration process, there may be a need to store personal data of the contractual partner to comply with legal obligations.
Objection options
The user is entitled to object to the use of personal data at any time (according to Art. 21 GDPR). This includes in particular name, e-mail address, and other personal user data. For this purpose, it is sufficient to send an e-mail to the e-mail address stated in the imprint or to the Data Protection Officer:
"PiggyB SIA"
E-mail: [email protected]
All personal data stored in the course of contacting us will be deleted in this case. In such a case, the conversation cannot be continued.
4. Third-party content and services
On this website, you will also receive offers or services from third parties. These are, for example, maps from Google Maps, YouTube videos, third-party graphic representations. As soon as you use these third-party services via our website, your IP address is recorded for technical reasons. The third party provider is therefore able to store your IP address.
Unfortunately, we have no control over which service provider actually stores your IP address, whether for statistical or other purposes of which we are unaware. We will endeavor to include only those providers that do not use IP addresses for any purpose other than delivering the content. Please also refer to the respective privacy policies of the individual third-party providers and service providers whose services we use on our website.
The storage of the IP address, at least for a short time, is technically necessary due to the way the Internet works. However, the IP addresses are abridged by 1 byte before any forwarding to third-party providers and are only processed anonymously. Unabridged IP addresses are not transmitted to third-party providers.
reCAPTCHA
We use reCAPTCHA on our website, a service provided by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (hereinafter "Google"). The service is a function that allows us to distinguish whether the input was correctly made by a person or by a computer program with automatic program sequencing. During the query, your IP address and other data required for this service are transmitted to Google.
Google will use the information for evaluation purposes. Your IP address, which is transmitted by your browser as part of the reCAPTCHA service, is not merged with other data from Google.
For the data collection at Google, the deviating data protection regulations of the company apply. You can find more information about Google's privacy policy here:
https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en
Google Web Fonts
We use so-called Google Web Fonts from Google on our website. It is an offering of open source fonts that can be used free of charge. These Web Fonts are integrated by a server call. These are servers of Google in the USA. During the process, technical information may be transmitted to Google, including the IP address of your browser.
Google will use the information for evaluation purposes. Your IP address, which is transmitted by your browser as part of the Google Web Fonts service, is not merged with other data from Google.
For more information about Google Web Fonts and Google's privacy policy, please see the links below:
https://www.google.com/fonts#AboutPlace:about
https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/
Legal basis for the processing
The purely technical query by means of reCAPTCHA, the use of Google services, as well as the use of providers such as "PiggyB SIA" are done with legitimate interest according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR.
Objection options
If you use one of these services and wish to object to the transfer of personal user data to the third-party providers, you can send us an e-mail to the e-mail address given in the imprint:
"PiggyB SIA"
E-mail: [email protected]
The objection is made on the basis of Art. 21 GDPR. Please note that in this case, you will no longer be able to use the webcam services.
You can also prevent Google Maps from running and transferring data by disabling JavaScript in your browser. However, you will not be able to use map display on our respective website.
The automated transmission of purely technical data, e.g., your IP address, is technical in nature. However, the IP addresses are abridged by 1 byte before any processing and are only processed anonymously. There is no right to object to the storage of the IP address, at least for a short time, as this is technically necessary.
Google Analytics
Our websites use the functions of Google Analytics from Google.
Legal basis for the processing
Website analytics services to improve the efficiency of our website, such as Google Analytics, which is operated by Google, require the disclosure of personal data about website visitors to the respective third-party providers.
The measurement using Google Analytics by Google and the use of third-party cookies is done by consent according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR.
Use of data and purpose of processing
Google Analytics uses so-called "cookies". Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of our websites, as well as the IP address transmitted by your browser, is transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity for website operators, and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage.
Pseudonymous usage profiles of the users can thereby be created from the processed data. Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google's behalf.
We would like to point out that we only use Google Analytics with the extension "_anonymizeIP()" (active IP anonymization). This means that the IP address of the user is abridged by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. This guarantees the masking of your IP address so that all data is collected anonymously. Only in exceptional cases, the full IP address is transferred to a Google server in the USA and abridged there. The IP address transmitted by the user's browser is not merged with other data from Google. A personal reference is therefore excluded.
By using our websites, you consent to the processing of data about you by Google in the manner and for the purposes set out above.
For more information about Google's use of data for advertising purposes, setting options, and objection options, please visit Google's websites at the following links:
https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites?hl=en ("Data use by Google when using websites or partner apps"),
https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads ("Data use for advertising purposes").
Objection option
The data collection and storage by Google Analytics can be objected to at any time with effect for the future (according to Art. 21 GDPR). For this purpose, you have the option to install a browser plugin issued by Google. This is available for various browser versions and can be downloaded and installed at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en. Alternatively, you can prevent the installation of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser software.
However, we would like to point out that in these cases, you may not be able to use all functions of our websites to their full extent.
External payment providers
We offer payment by SMS.
As part of the payment processing provided by third party and the associated identity and credit check, you usually have to provide phone number. The data you enter in the entry mask will be transmitted to payment processor and us and will be stored by us.
Legal basis of the processing
All data transmitted to us in the context of payment processing is stored on the basis of your consent within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1, lit. a GDPR. This data is also processed in the context of the fulfillment of our contractually owed services within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1, lit. b GDPR.
Since the payment processing also aims at the conclusion of a contract, the additional legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR.
Objection option
The data collection and storage can be objected at any time (according to Art. 21 GDPR). However, we would like to point out that in these cases, you will not be able to use our offered payment methods. Execution of payments without data collection is not possible.
5. SSL encryption
Our website is encrypted with the so-called SSL procedure (Secure Socket Layer) so that confidential and personal contents of our users, as well as personal data, are transmitted securely. Data encrypted via SSL is not readable by third parties. You can recognize SSL encryption by the display in your browser line "https://".
6. Use of cookies
To make our web pages more effective, safer, and more user-friendly or to make it easier for you to use our web pages, so-called cookies are used. These are small text files that are stored on the hard drive of your computer.
When a user accesses a website, a cookie may be stored on the user's operating system. This cookie contains a characteristic string that allows the browser to be uniquely identified when the website is accessed again.
Legal basis for the processing
The legal basis for the processing of personal data using cookies for analysis purposes is - based on the consent given by the user - Art. 6 para.1 lit. a) GDPR. The legal basis for the processing of personal data using technically necessary cookies is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR.
Use of cookies
We may use cookies to build anonymized profiles. These are then used for target group marketing, where the delivery of the advertising material is based on the behavior shown (e.g., web pages visited, the type of posts read, clicks, etc.). All our cookies are completely anonymized and do not contain any data about you. Cookies are also used to show you content and advertising according to your interests.
We, therefore, use the data obtained via cookies exclusively to optimize the delivery of advertising, limit the repetition frequency of advertising, display content and advertising that matches your interests, form anonymous user groups according to interests, and analyze statistics to better adapt our offer to the interests of our users.

Our online offer may contain links to other websites (especially customer homepages) or to other services such as Facebook, Twitter, Google+, or YouTube. In this regard, the data protection provisions of the respective providers of the websites or services apply. We have no influence on their compliance with data protection regulations.
Legal basis for the processing
The legal basis for the processing of data collected in the context of a registration, login, or other input option and disclosed to such third-party providers by means of a link to third-party services is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR.

The purely technical query is made with legitimate interest according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR.
Social plugins
Links to social network services such as Instagram, and the microblogging service Twitter are used on our websites. These services are offered by the companies Twitter Inc, and Instagram LLC ("Providers").
Twitter is operated by Twitter Inc, 1355 Market St, Suite 900, San Francisco, CA 94103, USA ("Twitter"). You can find an overview of Twitter buttons and their look here:
https://publish.twitter.com/
Instagram is operated by Instagram LLC., 1601 Willow Road, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA ("Instagram"). You can find an overview of Instagram plugins and their look here:
http://blog.instagram.com/post/36222022872/introducing-instagram-badges
The above-mentioned social plugins are not directly integrated on our websites but only linked to the respective services of the above-mentioned network providers. Therefore, when you visit a page of our website that contains such a link, your browser does not establish a direct connection to the servers of Facebook, Google, Twitter, or Instagram. Thus, no information (not even your IP address) can be transmitted to the providers in the USA.
Only if you log in to one of the services, the providers may be able to directly assign the visit to our websites to your profile on Facebook, Google+, Twitter, or Instagram. The information and data (including your IP address) are then transmitted by your browser directly to a server of the respective provider in the USA and stored there.
The purpose and scope of the data collection and the further processing and use of the data by the aforementioned providers, as well as your rights in this regard and setting options for protecting your privacy, can be found in the data protection notices of the respective providers.

Objection options
We would like to point out that you can object to the future processing of your personal data in accordance with the legal requirements at any time (according to Art. 21 GDPR).
With regard to third-party services that are only linked, there is no option to object, as no personal data is processed during this process.
8. Disclosure of personal data to third parties
Data will be disclosed to third parties exclusively within the scope of the clauses described above and for the purposes described therein. Any data sent beyond this will not be sent without your prior, express consent. However, we reserve the right to transfer data to third parties without consent if this is necessary to prevent threats to public order or for criminal prosecution. Of course, even in this case, data will only be forwarded on the basis of an existing authorization by the requesting party. If one of the last-mentioned reasons exists, your personal data will be forwarded in particular to the responsible law enforcement and supervisory authorities.
Your personal data will not be forwarded to third parties beyond this, in particular not for advertising purposes. We will therefore not use your deposited data for advertising or marketing measures and will not sell them to third parties unless you give us your express consent beforehand.
