As a thank you for participating in various campaigns, users receive points that are paid out in the form of rewards (e.g. a gift voucher). If there are matches between the user’s interest and the offer of a partner company, the user is also informed about relevant offers of the respective partner company.

The use of the app, as well as the performance of actions, tasks and surveys, is voluntary and can also be cancelled at any time.

When using the app, we process personal data (in particular the IP address, preferences, etc.) about you, whereby we avoid sensitive topics such as religion, health and sexuality.

Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person.

Because protecting your privacy when using the app is important to us, we would like to inform you in the following which personal data we process when you use the app and how we handle this data. In addition, we will inform you about the legal basis for the processing of your data and, insofar as the processing is necessary to protect our legitimate interests, also about our legitimate interests.

You can access this privacy policy at any time under the menu item “Settings” > “Privacy” within the app.

1. Information on the processing of your data

Certain information is already processed automatically when you use the app. We have listed exactly which personal data is processed for you below:

1.1 Information collected during download

When downloading the app, certain required information is transmitted to the app store selected by you (e.g. Google Play or Apple App Store), in particular the user name, the email address, the customer number of your account, the time of the download, payment information and the individual device identification number may be processed. The processing of this data is carried out exclusively by the respective App Store and is beyond our control. If you would like more information on this, you should take a look at the privacy policy of the respective app store.

1.2 Information collected automatically

As part of your use of the App, we automatically collect certain data that is necessary for the use of the App. This includes:

Internal device ID, version of your operating system, time of access, IP address.

This data is automatically transmitted to us, but not stored, (1) to provide you with the Service and related features; (2) to improve the functions and performance features of the App; and (3) to prevent and remedy misuse and malfunctions. This data processing is justified by the fact that (1) the processing is necessary for the performance of the contract between you as the data subject and us pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (b) DSGVO for the use of the App, and / or (2) we have a legitimate interest in ensuring the functionality and error-free operation of the App and in being able to offer a service that is in line with the market and interests, which here outweighs your rights and interests in the protection of your personal data within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) (f) DSGVO.

1.3 Creation of a user account (registration) and login

When you create a user account or register, we use your access data (email address and password) to grant you access to your user account and to manage it (“mandatory data”). Mandatory data within the scope of registration are required for the conclusion of the user contract. If you do not provide this information, you will not be able to create a user account.

We use the mandatory data to authenticate you when you log in and to follow up on requests to reset your password. We process and use the information you provide during registration or login to (1) verify your eligibility to manage the user account; (2) enforce the app’s terms of use and any associated rights and obligations; and (3) contact you to send you technical or legal notices, updates, security notifications or other messages relating to, for example, the management of the user account.

This data processing is justified by the fact that (1) the processing is necessary for the performance of the contract between you as the data subject and us pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (b) DSGVO for the use of the app, and / or (2) we have a legitimate interest in ensuring the functionality and error-free operation of the app, which here outweighs your rights and interests in the protection of your personal data within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) (f) DSGVO.

You may create a user account (hereinafter also referred to as “Profile”) on our Services in order to access the Smatched Services and your Features. In order to do so, you must log in to one of our social media partners with one of your accounts. In the process, our social media partners (Facebook, Instagram, Google, Apple, Twitter, TikTok) transmit personal data such as your email address to us and we process this data to create a user account and store it in our information technology systems. Your IP address and the time of registration are also stored.

When you log in to your profile, Smatched places cookies on your terminal device to enable you to remain logged in – even if you have to reload the app in the meantime. By creating the profile, you can use the functions of Smatched.

The processing operations associated with the creation and completion of a profile serve the purpose of being able to allocate future usage operations and to be able to access the entire range of Smatched services. Directly connected with this is, for example, checking whether you are suitable for surveys that we receive from the marketplaces. In order to participate in surveys, you must meet the criteria requested for the specific survey. We check whether you meet the criteria either by requesting you (if we have not yet requested the survey criteria from you), or automatically (if we have already requested the survey criteria from you) after receipt of the survey by comparing the criteria with the personal details you have provided. The processing of your data thus serves the execution of the contract, is thus purpose-bound and necessary according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO.

The storage of IP address and time of registration is necessary to ensure the security of our information technology systems. This is also our legitimate interest, which is why the processing is also lawful according to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f DSGVO.

The personal data entered by you will be stored until the time of deletion of your profile at Smatched, beyond that only as long as the processing is necessary for any contract fulfilment.

We do not intend to pass on your data to third parties. All checks on the requested criteria in a survey are carried out by us on our servers.



1.4 Using the app

Within the framework of the app, you can carry out, manage and edit various activities. As part of the activities, we store certain information about you and your user and surfing behaviour. The most important functions of the app include that

  • we and the third parties mentioned in section 2 learn through the use of the app, in particular the tasks set (e.g. surveys, etc.), which interests you have with regard to products, topics, brands, etc. and which information and offers from companies are relevant to you, so that
  • we can provide you with information in the app about the products, topics, brands, etc. you are interested in.
  • we can show you relevant offers/advertisements from “matched” partner companies in the app on this basis
  • partner companies can conduct market research based on anonymised data
  • Partner companies with which a “match” exists can provide you with new tasks with which you can earn points.
  • The following data processing takes place:

We store your activities, such as survey results, in order to transmit them anonymously as statistical evaluation data to partner companies after the end of a campaign. These partner companies in turn use this data for marketing and analysis purposes.

In addition, we integrate third-party advertisements and videos within the app via the “Google Admob” advertising network and the “YouTube” video portal of the Irish company Google Ireland Limited. You can find more details on data processing in this respect under point 2 of this notice.

The app also requires the following authorizations:

Internet access: This is required to store your entries on our servers, to evaluate and check your interactions and to prevent misuse.

The processing and use of usage data is carried out to provide the service. This data processing is justified by the fact that the processing is necessary for the performance of the contract between you as the data subject and us pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. b) DSGVO for the use of the app. Data processing for advertising purposes is a main service in this respect. In addition, we have a legitimate interest in the data processing within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. Since you are free to use our app and we also provide detailed information about data processing, our legitimate interest outweighs your rights and freedoms.

1.5 Processing of disbursement & provision of credits

Payment
We offer various payment methods, some via payment service providers such as PayPal, to process the payment of credits that you receive through participation in surveys in or via our app. Processed data in this context are usage data, connection data, master data, payment data, contact data or also contract data. The legal basis for the use of the payment service providers results from Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO, as well as from our legitimate interests according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) DSGVO to enable a user-friendly and uncomplicated payment processing. However, please note: Personal data may also be passed on by the online payment service provider to service providers, subcontractors or other affiliated companies, insofar as this is necessary for the fulfilment of the contractual obligations arising from your order or the personal data is to be processed on your behalf. We have signed an order processing agreement with each of the payment service providers to ensure that the security of the processing of your data is guaranteed at all times.

The recipient is the respective service provider, such as: PayPal (Europe) S.à.r.l. & Cie. S.C.A. A transfer of data to a third country may take place. The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. Furthermore, the data will be deleted if you revoke your consent or request the deletion of the personal data.

The payment service providers are in detail:

PayPal

It is possible to process the payment process with the online payment service PayPal. PayPal enables online payments to be made to third parties. The European operating company of PayPal is PayPal (Europe) S.à.r.l. & Cie. S.C.A., 22-24 Boulevard Royal, 2449 Luxembourg. If you choose PayPal as your payment method, your data required for the payment process will be automatically transmitted to PayPal. This regularly involves the following data:

Name, address, company, e-mail address, telephone and mobile number, IP address. The data transmitted to PayPal may be passed on by PayPal to credit agencies. The purpose of this transmission is to check your identity and creditworthiness. PayPal may also pass on your data to third parties insofar as this is necessary for the fulfilment of contractual obligations or the data is to be processed on behalf of PayPal. You can read PayPal’s privacy policy at https://www.paypal.com/de/webapps/mpp/ua/privacy-full/. The legal basis for the data processing is Art. 6 (1) lit. b DSGVO, as the processing of the data is necessary for the payment with PayPal and thus for the performance of the contract.

If you make a payment with PayPal, please check that you are responsible for paying taxes according to the laws in your country/region.

Vouchers

You can also exchange the credits you receive for taking surveys in or through our app for vouchers from our partners, such as StarBucks, Amazon, Zalando, iTunes, Spotify, etc. If you decide to do this, we will not pass on any of your personal data to our partners. We have interfaces to the Amazon API and Wunschgutschein API.

2. Data sharing and transfer

2.1 Sharing on the basis of your consent

Our app is for marketing purposes and is ad-supported. As we use Google AdMob and YouTube to display personalised ads and partner videos within the app, you consent to the transfer of your personal data such as the advertising ID of your device, the IP address, your location data, your interactions with advertisers’ ads via cookies or cookie-like technologies (so-called mobile identifiers, e.g. Google AdMob and YouTube). mobile identifier, e.g. Web Beacon, IDFA, GAID) to Google Ireland Limited, Ireland, as the provider of Google AdMob and YouTube, as well as to the Google partner companies named below (hereinafter referred to as advertising partners) for the purpose of generating and displaying personalised advertising.

In the case of Google AdMob, conversion statistics are created for AdWords customers (advertising partners) who have opted for conversion tracking via cookie-like technologies (so-called mobile identifiers). Mobile identifiers are stored on your end device and enable the storage of information with which your surfing behaviour can be tracked. The advertising partners thus learn the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page marked with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that can be used to personally identify users.

When clicking on a partner video, we use the YouTube service. We use the extended data protection mode, which, according to the provider, only starts storing user information when the video(s) is/are played. If the playback of embedded YouTube videos is started, Google uses “YouTube” cookies or mobile identifiers to collect information about user behaviour. According to information from “Youtube”, these are used, among other things, to collect video statistics, to improve user-friendliness and to prevent abusive behaviour. If you are logged in to Google, your data is directly assigned to your account when you click on a video.

We have no influence on the data processing by Google after clicking on a partner video / an advertisement. The data processing is then the sole responsibility of Google Ireland Limited.

Details of what data Google collects and how it is processed can be found here:

Admob: https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads

YouTube and other Google services: https://policies.google.com/privacy

This application also uses the Lucid router link. Lucid is an online survey platform through which anyone can conduct surveys. Lucid works with publishers of applications for smartphones to gain access to users of such applications and to address questionnaires to them. When a user connects to this app, a certain set of the user’s device data (including the advertising ID, the device ID if the app user has enabled access to their advertising and/or device ID either through their system settings or through a consent query displayed to them) and other response metadata is automatically sent to Lucid’s servers through our app so that Lucid can determine whether the user is eligible for a survey. Lucid is a US-based company, so you expressly consent to the transfer of this data to the US. Lucid collects and processes your data in accordance with all applicable GDPR requirements. For a full list of the data Lucid receives through this app and for more information on how Lucid processes this data, please carefully read Lucid’s respondent terms and conditions at https://luc.id/legal/privacy-policy/. This data will be associated with your responses to questionnaires when Lucid sends such questionnaires to eligible users. Your data may be transferred by Lucid to non-EEA countries in accordance with all applicable GDPR requirements, including the use of the EU Commission’s standard contractual clauses. Lucid may share this data with third parties, customers and business partners for commercial purposes. By downloading the application, you accept this Privacy Policy and hereby give your consent to the processing of the above data by Lucid. Furthermore, you are informed that you can deactivate the operation of Lucid at any time via the following link: https://luc.id/legal/privacy-policy/ & https://optout.aboutads.info/?c=2&lang=EN. We invite you to read the Lucid Terms of Use again if you would like to have a more detailed insight into how Lucid works and who Lucid shares your data with.

The Application furthermore uses AWIN. Awin is a specialized affiliate marketing platform. It connects advertisers with a network of publishers. Awins positions itself as a trusted third party between advertisers and publishers providing account management, strategy and technology. In the process of doing so it is gathering data and thus needs the consent to cookies.

Details about what data is collected by Awin and how it is processed can be found here:

Note:

In this respect, we would like to point out once again in all clarity that the purpose of our service / our app is the evaluation of your surfing behavior by processing your data in order to use this data for the purpose of online marketing in so-called advertising networks. “Online marketing” includes, in particular, the referral of the user of the app to advertising partners of us and the interaction with advertising materials and surveys provided by advertising partners in the app and through links. Your data will not only be evaluated and used by us, but also by third parties such as Google Ireland Limited, Lucid Holdings LLC. and our advertising partners.

If you want to disable personalized advertising on your mobile device, you can disable interest-based advertising when using Android smartphones (Google Setting => Setting => Google => Display => Disable interest-based advertising).

In this case, however, certain features of our app will no longer be usable. The same applies to deactivating the operation of Lucid.

If you do not wish to be associated with your YouTube profile, you must log out before clicking on the video. You also have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, whereby you must contact YouTube to exercise this right.

You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future by sending a short email to hello@smatched.de. In this case, however, participation in campaigns (surveys, videos, news, etc.) and the receipt of rewards are no longer possible.

We would like to point out that rewards are only due once a certain number of “Smatches” points has been reached. If the user revokes his/her consent to data processing before reaching this number of points, the premium can no longer be distributed.

The legal basis for the forwarding and transfer of data is – in addition to the legal bases mentioned below – your consent, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) DSGVO.

2.2. disclosure without explicit consent

In addition to the cases explicitly mentioned in this data protection declaration, your personal data will only be passed on without your express prior consent if this is permitted or required by law. A technical transfer may also take place if and to the extent that this is necessary for the operation of our app or for other reasons for the establishment, implementation or processing of your user relationship with us. This may be the case, for example, if we host the app with an external service provider. If this is not a case of commissioned processing, the transfer is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) DSGVO.

2.2.1 As a matter of principle, we do not pass on to third parties the personal data that you provide when registering.

2.2.2 The data that we receive from you when you redeem / order a premium (first name, surname, address) will only be passed on to the company delivering the premium for the purpose of sending the premium. This transfer of your data is justified by the fact that (1) the transfer of the data is necessary for the fulfilment of the contract between you as the data subject and us in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b) DSGVO for the use of the app, as we would otherwise not be able to send you the rewards. (2) We also have a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) (f) DSGVO in sending you the rewards by way of a so-called drop shipment (i.e. directly from the manufacturer of the rewards, e.g. from the brewery). In this respect, your rights and freedoms do not outweigh our legitimate interests in the delivery of the rewards.

2.2.3 Irrespective of your consent referred to in section 2.2, we also disclose your personal data, such as your advertising ID, to our advertising partners and the aforementioned third parties on the basis of a legitimate interest within the meaning of Article 6(1)(f) and on the basis of the user agreement concluded with us pursuant to Article 6(1)(b) of the Data Protection Regulation. Since we offer our app free of charge, we have a legitimate interest in using marketing tools such as Google AdMob. This interest also outweighs the interests of the user, as it is up to each user whether they want to use our app and participate in promotions, surveys, games, etc.

2.2.4 If it is necessary to clarify an illegal or abusive use of the app or for legal prosecution, personal data will be forwarded to law enforcement agencies or other authorities and, if applicable, to injured third parties or legal advisors. However, this only happens if there are indications of unlawful or abusive behaviour. A transfer may 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 authorities upon request. These are law enforcement agencies, authorities that prosecute administrative offences subject to fines and the tax authorities.

Any disclosure of personal data is justified by the fact that (1) the processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which we are subject pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) DSGVO in conjunction with. national legal requirements to disclose data to law enforcement authorities, or (2) we have a legitimate interest in disclosing the data to the aforementioned third parties if there are indications of abusive behaviour or to enforce our terms of use, other conditions or legal claims, and your rights and interests in the protection of your personal data within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) DSGVO are not overridden.

2.3 Essential tools and tracking tools

VPNAPI
Our app uses VPNAPI to prevent users who attempt to access the app using VPNs from disguising their IP address and mistakenly receiving surveys from another country.

Sentry

Smatched uses Sentry to send error messages from the backend and thus quickly identify and fix bugs, etc.

Twillio

Twillio is a cloud communication platform that can be used to serve channels such as SMS, telephony, video, WhatsApp and more. Smatched uses Twillio’s two-factor authentication via SMS, which asks for the user’s mobile number for authentication purposes and to prevent the use of multiple accounts.

Appsflyer

Our App uses AppsFlyer, an attribution service provided by AppsFlyer Ltd, 14 Maskit St., POB 12371 Herzliya, Israel (“AppsFlyer”). We have entered into a commissioned processing agreement with AppsFlyer for the use of AppsFlyer (Article 28(3) of the GDPR)

AppsFlyer processes personal data on our behalf in order to create aggregated user profiles about the interaction with our advertising materials. The information obtained in this way enables us to measure the success of our app marketing campaigns and optimise our app. In addition, AppsFlyer enables us to ensure the security and defence against fraud by advertising networks.

The following data is transmitted to Appsflyer: Your device’s IP address and associated location data, the campaign source and associated targeting, and various smatched events after the app is installed.

However, by activating the IP anonymisation “IP Masking”, your IP address is shortened beforehand by AppsFlyer.

The recipient of the data in this context is AppsFlyer Ltd, 14 Maskit St, POB 12371 Herzliya, Israel. The European Commission has determined by decision that an adequate level of protection for personal data is ensured in Israel (Art. 45 GDPR).

Further information on data protection at Appsflyer can be found at the following link https://www.appsflyer.com/privacy-policy/.

The legal basis for the use of AppsFlyer is your consent (opt-in in the cookie banner), provided that you have given this to us during your first visit to our app. The legal basis for the integration of AppsFlyer therefore results from Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO. Based on your consent, we use cookies to store and read personal data on your terminal device. If you have not given us consent to use AppsFlyer (no opt-in in the cookie banner), we will not use AppsFlyer in the context of your visits to our app.

You have the option to revoke your consent to data processing at any time. A revocation has no influence on the effectiveness of the previous data processing. If you do not want AppsFlyer to collect and process data, you can download an opt-out cookie via the following link: https://www.appsflyer.com/optout.

The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer necessary to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. Furthermore, the data will be deleted if you withdraw your consent or request the deletion of personal data.

If you delete your cookies, you will also have to download the opt-out cookie again.

3. Forwarding to third parties

In addition, you will be redirected to third parties who are responsible for data processing when you click on or download third-party content. This content is marked as third-party content. It may be external links in messages, apps from third parties, tasks from third parties, etc..

You are leaving our app.

4. Use of cookies

We use so-called cookie technology in our app. Cookies are small text files that are sent from our server to your smartphone when you use the app and are stored there for later retrieval. We use both so-called session cookies (also referred to as temporary cookies) and cookies that are stored for a longer period of time (also referred to as persistent cookies).

We use cookies to continue to identify your smartphone during your app use, but also to detect the end of your use and to be able to recognise your device when you use it again.

You delete the cookies by deleting the smatched app from your smartphone.

As explained in section 2, Google also uses cookie-like technologies. If you do not want to allow tracking, you must either revoke your consent or delete our app.

5. Changes of purpose

Processing of your personal data for purposes other than those described will only take place if permitted by law or if you have consented to the changed purpose of the data processing. In the event of further processing for purposes other than those for which the data was originally collected, we will inform you about these other purposes prior to further processing and provide you with all other relevant information.

6. Data retention period

We will delete or anonymise your personal data as soon as it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which we collected or used it in accordance with the above paragraphs.
