Privacy Policy

How Urban Challenger Protects Your Privacy?

This privacy policy aims to inform you, as a user of this website, about the nature, scope, and purpose of the collection and use of your personal data by us, Urban Challenger GmbH (hereinafter referred to as "Urban Challenger"), as the website operator.

We take data protection very seriously and treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the legal provisions, especially the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Urban Challenger has taken appropriate technical measures to ensure the most comprehensive protection of your personal data. However, internet-based data transmission can have security gaps. Therefore, absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. As a user of our website, you are free to transmit personal data to us by other means, such as by phone.

As new technologies and the constant development of this website can result in changes to this privacy policy, we recommend that you reread this privacy policy at regular intervals.

Definitions of the terms used (e.g. "personal data" or "processing") can be found in Art. 4 GDPR.

Use of this Website

The use of our website is possible without providing personal data; however, if you want to use our apps, the processing of personal data may be necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no other legal basis for this processing, we will ask for your consent.

Encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of personal data and other confidential content, we use transport encryption (TLS/SSL) on this website. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the string "https://" and the lock symbol in your browser address bar.

Collection of General Data and Information

When you or an automated system accesses our website, we collect a range of general data and information. This general data and information is stored in the server log files. This can include:

  • the types and versions of browsers used,
  • the operating system used by the accessing system,
  • the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrers),
  • the sub-pages accessed via an accessing system on our website,
  • the date and time of access to the website,
  • an internet protocol address (IP address),
  • the internet service provider of the accessing system, and
  • other similar data and information that may be used in the event of attacks on our IT systems.

When we use this general data and information, we do not draw any conclusions about you as an individual. Rather, this information is required to:

  • correctly deliver the content of our website,
  • optimize the content of our website and advertisements,
  • ensure the long-term viability of our information technology systems and website technology, and
  • provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for prosecution in the event of a cyberattack.

This anonymously collected data and information is evaluated statistically by Urban Challenger and is also evaluated with the aim of increasing data protection and data security within our company, ultimately to ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The server log file data, which is pseudonymous for us, is stored separately from all personal data provided by you and is deleted when it is no longer needed.

Registration

You have the option to register on our website by providing personal data. The personal data transmitted to Urban Challenger is determined by the respective input mask used for registration. The personal data you enter is collected and stored solely for internal use by Urban Challenger and for our own purposes. Urban Challenger may arrange for the transfer to one or more contract processors, such as a parcel service, who will also use the personal data for an internal purpose that can be attributed to Urban Challenger.

When you register on the website of Urban Challenger, the IP address assigned by the Internet service provider (ISP) and used by you, as well as the date and time of registration, are also stored. The storage of this data is necessary to prevent the misuse of our services and, if necessary, to enable us to investigate any crimes committed. In this respect, the storage of this data is necessary to secure Urban Challenger. This data will not be passed on to third parties unless there is a legal obligation to do so or the transfer serves the purpose of criminal prosecution.

Your registration with the voluntary provision of personal data should enable Urban Challenger to offer you content or services that can only be offered to registered users due to the nature of the matter. As a registered user, you are free to change the personal data provided during registration at any time or to have it completely deleted from Urban Challenger's data inventory.

Urban Challenger will provide you with information at any time upon request on which personal data about you is stored. Furthermore, Urban Challenger will correct or delete personal data upon request or notification from you, provided that there are no legal storage obligations.

Restriction of processing

Under certain circumstances, you can demand the restriction of processing, e.g. if you believe that your data is incorrect, if the processing is unlawful or if you have objected to the processing of the data. This means that your data may only be processed to a very limited extent without your consent, e.g. for the assertion, exercise and defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of other natural and legal persons, Art. 18 GDPR.
