Privacy policy

 

​

We appreciate that you have show interest in our enterprise. Data protection is of a particularly high priority for the management of the Kiddybox GmbH. The use of the Internet pages of the Kiddybox GmbH is possible without any indication of personal data; however, if a data subject wants to use special enterprise services via our website, processing of personal data could become necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no statutory basis for such processing, we generally obtain consent from the data subject.

​

The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, e-mail address, or telephone number of a data subject shall always be in line with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to the Kiddybox GmbH. By means of this data protection declaration, our enterprise would like to inform the general public of the nature, scope, and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process. Furthermore, data subjects are informed, by means of this data protection declaration, of the rights to which they are entitled.

​

As the controller, the Kiddybox GmbH has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection of personal data processed through this website. However, Internet-based data transmissions may in principle have security gaps, so absolute protection may not be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transfer personal data to us via alternative means, e.g. by telephone.

About privacy policy and ethics concerning AI-applications

We, the Kiddybox GmbH, are constantly caring about data safety and storage. We keep us updated in technology and progression.

We announce that we also use AI-technology (artificial intelligence). But we always care about authenticity, ethics and human arts. It´s important to us to be up-to-date with AI-technologies and international laws. We always respect the laws and our convictions to be authentic for our customers and caring for ethic principles.

 

We knowingly communicate without any AI-influence and choose our words (spoken and written) without Chat-GPT or similar AI-applications. We guarantee that you speak and write with living people, not with AI. True people care about your requests and orders, too. No AI will ever influent or control any communication. We just use AI for your online-orders and your information entries, for following operations:

 

- to compute parameters about user behaviours on our website (click, scroll, entries, links)

- marketing evaluations and statistics by user´s visits and behaviours (to switch proper commercials and for improving our

  website and our services)

​

​We would also like to point out that, in order to minimise communication barriers, we use an AI to translate various languages, both for emails received (form submissions) and their corresponding replies, which our employees write freely in the native languages they speak and only enter as text to be translated by the AI and have it generated as the target language, and for the content of our digital and print presentations. The text itself is written freely by a human mind and hand and is not generated as an AI product (e.g. by entering prompts).

​

The Kiddybox GmbH sets importance to authentic arts like graphic design, photographics, illustration, film, words and sounds. The copyright expires with any kind of artwork which is completely generated by AI. The copyright assumes real human efforts to create and fix an artwork by human hands (digitally or analog), as long as no other copyright is harmed.

 

We use AI-technology for following creative processes:

 

- Motion Capturing (scanning movements) and sometimes texture conceptions for our self-made 3D-models und illustrations

- AI-Sampling for audios und music (but not for composings)

​

The latest decision of the US-courts (for example) is to classify a user of an AI-art-generator as a „art commissioner“. Such a person instructs the AI with prompts to generate an artificially realized artwork or animation. In that case those artworks aren´t made by a human. Copyrights can just go to human artists. Beside of that the risk of discriminating fake-news, fake-images or clips must be prevented as far as possible. The US-courts and the EU-ethic council actually discuss and fix corresponding limitations of using and dealing AI-generated arts. A common and global limitation for AI-usage is in constant development. The current regulation of AI applications is defined by the EU Parliament in the form of the "EU AI Act". The regulations regarding GPAIs (general purpose artificial intelligence), i.e. AI applications such as Chat GPT, MidJourney, etc., are currently being dealt with in the EU Ethics Council. Information on possible legislative adjustments and updates will be provided here. Not all countries will agree to/follow given and upcoming decisions and requirements.

​

We produce our graphics, designs, photos, animations, sounds by human hands in our own creative office. Sometimes we also get licenses of foreign rights or royalty free materials - requirement:  these mustn't be AI-generated. We always check these materials (artworks) for true and traceable human efforts.

​

In this way we support protecting art (in every kind) as a human privilege. But we also want to prevent misuses of AI-generators and possible fakes. The Kiddybox GmbH has specialized and experienced personnel to detect minimal hints, to recognize materials generated by AI.

​

3. Cookies

The Internet pages of the Kiddybox GmbH use cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored in a computer system via an Internet browser.

Many Internet sites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a character string through which Internet pages and servers can be assigned to the specific Internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This allows visited Internet sites and servers to differentiate the individual browser of the dats subject from other Internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific Internet browser can be recognized and identified using the unique cookie ID.

Through the use of cookies, the Kiddybox GmbH can provide the users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the cookie setting.

By means of a cookie, the information and offers on our website can be optimized with the user in mind. Cookies allow us, as previously mentioned, to recognize our website users. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to utilize our website. The website user that uses cookies, e.g. does not have to enter access data each time the website is accessed, because this is taken over by the website, and the cookie is thus stored on the user’s computer system. Another example is the cookie of a shopping cart in an online shop. The online store remembers the articles that a customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart via a cookie.

The data subject may, at any time, prevent the setting of cookies through our website by means of a corresponding setting of the Internet browser used, and may thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. Furthermore, already set cookies may be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all popular Internet browsers. If the data subject deactivates the setting of cookies in the Internet browser used, not all functions of our website may be entirely usable.

​

3. Consent to the use of cookies

​

4. Collection of general data and information

The website of the Kiddybox GmbH collects a series of general data and information when a data subject or automated system calls up the website. This general data and information are stored in the server log files. Collected may be (1) the browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrers), (4) the sub-websites, (5) the date and time of access to the Internet site, (6) an Internet protocol address (IP address), (7) the Internet service provider of the accessing system, and (8) any other similar data and information that may be used in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.

When using these general data and information, the Kiddybox GmbH does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is needed to (1) deliver the content of our website correctly, (2) optimize the content of our website as well as its advertisement, (3) ensure the long-term viability of our information technology systems and website technology, and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for criminal prosecution in case of a cyber-attack. Therefore, the Kiddybox GmbH analyzes anonymously collected data and information statistically, with the aim of increasing the data protection and data security of our enterprise, and to ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.

​

8. Data protection provisions about the application and use of Facebook

On this website, the controller has integrated components of the enterprise Facebook. Facebook is a social network.

A social network is a place for social meetings on the Internet, an online community, which usually allows users to communicate with each other and interact in a virtual space. A social network may serve as a platform for the exchange of opinions and experiences, or enable the Internet community to provide personal or business-related information. Facebook allows social network users to include the creation of private profiles, upload photos, and network through friend requests.

The operating company of Facebook is Facebook, Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, United States. If a person lives outside of the United States or Canada, the controller is the Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.

With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this Internet website, which is operated by the controller and into which a Facebook component (Facebook plug-ins) was integrated, the web browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted to download display of the corresponding Facebook component from Facebook through the Facebook component. An overview of all the Facebook Plug-ins may be accessed under https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/. During the course of this technical procedure, Facebook is made aware of what specific sub-site of our website was visited by the data subject.

If the data subject is logged in at the same time on Facebook, Facebook detects with every call-up to our website by the data subject—and for the entire duration of their stay on our Internet site—which specific sub-site of our Internet page was visited by the data subject. This information is collected through the Facebook component and associated with the respective Facebook account of the data subject. If the data subject clicks on one of the Facebook buttons integrated into our website, e.g. the “Like” button, or if the data subject submits a comment, then Facebook matches this information with the personal Facebook user account of the data subject and stores the personal data.

Facebook always receives, through the Facebook component, information about a visit to our website by the data subject, whenever the data subject is logged in at the same time on Facebook during the time of the call-up to our website. This occurs regardless of whether the data subject clicks on the Facebook component or not. If such a transmission of information to Facebook is not desirable for the data subject, then he or she may prevent this by logging off from their Facebook account before a call-up to our website is made.

The data protection guideline published by Facebook, which is available at https://facebook.com/about/privacy/, provides information about the collection, processing and use of personal data by Facebook. In addition, it is explained there what setting options Facebook offers to protect the privacy of the data subject. In addition, different configuration options are made available to allow the elimination of data transmission to Facebook. These applications may be used by the data subject to eliminate a data transmission to Facebook.

​

9. Data protection provisions about the application and

use of Google AdSense

The administration of this website has integrated Google's "AdSense". This is an online-service to enable the switch of commercials on another websites. Google's AdSense is basing on an algorithm function for detecting contents of third-party-websites and chosing and switching proper Kiddybox-commercials. With help of the targeting the website-user's interrests Google AdSense can generate individual user-profiles. Provider of the AdSense-Integration is Google Inc. 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. The purpose of Google AdSense is the integration of commercials within our website. It uses cookies for the concerning person, for computing informations within the data system. To remind you, what cookies are and how they work, read paragraph 3. With setting and accepting these cookies Google Inc. is enabled to analyze how our website is used. With every access of each page of our website, which contains the Google AdSense application, the internet browser initiates the transmittion of the internet-user's information directly to Google Inc., for effective marketing purposes and to count commission bills to Kiddybox GmbH, for the AdSense-service - you being the website-user are not affected with any costs. During that progress Google Inc. gets sensitive information about your location and your clicks. As mentioned in paragraph 3 these cookies can be modified or deactivated, anytime and for the future. Already set cookies by Google Inc. can also be deleted over the internet browser or another softwares. AdSense is additionally using a so called "counting pixel" or simply "pixel". That is an embedded thumb-grafik to store log-information and for creating according log-analysations, for statistic calculations. With help of these "pixels" Ad Sense Inc. can detect if and when a website is called by a user, even to find out how big the visitor-inflow is.

 

Sensitive information and datas like IP-addresses are digitally transmitted to Google Inc. (USA), which is necessary to count the switched, fee-required commercials. These information are stored and processed in the United States of America.  The Alphabet Inc. company possibly gives mentioned information to third parties. Be advised, that Google Inc. privacy policies are different to ours. That´s why we recommend to read the privacy policy of Google Inc.

You can get precise information about Google Inc. here:

AdSense and Google Inc.

10. Data protection provisions about the application and use of Google Analytics (with anonymization function)

On this website, the controller has integrated the component of Google Analytics (with the anonymizer function). Google Analytics is a web analytics service. Web analytics is the collection, gathering, and analysis of data about the behavior of visitors to websites. A web analysis service collects, inter alia, data about the website from which a person has come (the so-called referrer), which sub-pages were visited, or how often and for what duration a sub-page was viewed. Web analytics are mainly used for the optimization of a website and in order to carry out a cost-benefit analysis of Internet advertising.

The operator of the Google Analytics component is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland.

For the web analytics through Google Analytics the controller uses the application “_gat. _anonymizeIp”. By means of this application the IP address of the Internet connection of the data subject is abridged by Google and anonymised when accessing our websites from a Member State of the European Union or another Contracting State to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.

The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyze the traffic on our website. Google uses the collected data and information, inter alia, to evaluate the use of our website and to provide online reports, which show the activities on our websites, and to provide other services concerning the use of our Internet site for us.

Google Analytics places a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. The definition of cookies is explained above. With the setting of the cookie, Google is enabled to analyze the use of our website. With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this Internet site, which is operated by the controller and into which a Google Analytics component was integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject will automatically submit data through the Google Analytics component for the purpose of online advertising and the settlement of commissions to Google. During the course of this technical procedure, the enterprise Google gains knowledge of personal information, such as the IP address of the data subject, which serves Google, inter alia, to understand the origin of visitors and clicks, and subsequently create commission settlements.

The cookie is used to store personal information, such as the access time, the location from which the access was made, and the frequency of visits of our website by the data subject. With each visit to our Internet site, such personal data, including the IP address of the Internet access used by the data subject, will be transmitted to Google in the United States of America. These personal data are stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass these personal data collected through the technical procedure to third parties.

The data subject may, as stated above, prevent the setting of cookies through our website at any time by means of a corresponding adjustment of the web browser used and thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. Such an adjustment to the Internet browser used would also prevent Google Analytics from setting a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. In addition, cookies already in use by Google Analytics may be deleted at any time via a web browser or other software programs.

In addition, the data subject has the possibility of objecting to a collection of data that are generated by Google Analytics, which is related to the use of this website, as well as the processing of this data by Google and the chance to preclude any such. For this purpose, the data subject must download a browser add-on under the link https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout and install it. This browser add-on tells Google Analytics through a JavaScript, that any data and information about the visits of Internet pages may not be transmitted to Google Analytics. The installation of the browser add-ons is considered an objection by Google. If the information technology system of the data subject is later deleted, formatted, or newly installed, then the data subject must reinstall the browser add-ons to disable Google Analytics. If the browser add-on was uninstalled by the data subject or any other person who is attributable to their sphere of competence, or is disabled, it is possible to execute the reinstallation or reactivation of the browser add-ons.

11. Data protection provisions about the application and use of
Google-AdWords

On this website, the controller has integrated Google AdWords. Google AdWords is a service for Internet advertising that allows the advertiser to place ads in Google search engine results and the Google advertising network. Google AdWords allows an advertiser to pre-define specific keywords with the help of which an ad on Google’s search results only then displayed, when the user utilizes the search engine to retrieve a keyword-relevant search result. In the Google Advertising Network, the ads are distributed on relevant web pages using an automatic algorithm, taking into account the previously defined keywords.

The operating company of Google AdWords is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland.

The purpose of Google AdWords is the promotion of our website by the inclusion of relevant advertising on the websites of third parties and in the search engine results of the search engine Google and an insertion of third-party advertising on our website.

If a data subject reaches our website via a Google ad, a conversion cookie is filed on the information technology system of the data subject through Google. The definition of cookies is explained above. A conversion cookie loses its validity after 30 days and is not used to identify the data subject. If the cookie has not expired, the conversion cookie is used to check whether certain sub-pages, e.g, the shopping cart from an online shop system, were called up on our website. Through the conversion cookie, both Google and the controller can understand whether a person who reached an AdWords ad on our website generated sales, that is, executed or canceled a sale of goods.

The data and information collected through the use of the conversion cookie is used by Google to create visit statistics for our website. These visit statistics are used in order to determine the total number of users who have been served through AdWords ads to ascertain the success or failure of each AdWords ad and to optimize our AdWords ads in the future. Neither our company nor other Google AdWords advertisers receive information from Google that could identify the data subject.

The conversion cookie stores personal information, e.g. the Internet pages visited by the data subject. Each time we visit our Internet pages, personal data, including the IP address of the Internet access used by the data subject, is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. These personal data are stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass these personal data collected through the technical procedure to third parties.

The data subject may, at any time, prevent the setting of cookies by our website, as stated above, by means of a corresponding setting of the Internet browser used and thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent Google from placing a conversion cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. In addition, a cookie set by Google AdWords may be deleted at any time via the Internet browser or other software programs.

The data subject has a possibility of objecting to the interest based advertisement of Google. Therefore, the data subject must access from each of the browsers in use the link www.google.de/settings/ads and set the desired settings.

12. Data protection provisions about the application and

use of Google Analytics 4 (with anonymization function)

Reffering to point 10 from the 1st July 2023 the provider Google Inc. changes its analytic functions resp. analytic tools. The currently running analytic tool "Google Analytics" (Universal Analytics, also known as "UA") will be completely exchanged then, by the simultaneously active and modernized/improved "Google Analytics 4" (also known as "GA 4"), without alternative. The website kiddy-box.de is already prepared for GA 4 and it works with that modernized analytic tool for results of marketing and web-behaviour.
 

Unlike UA before, GA 4 works with so called "AI" (artificial intelligence) and machine-learning procedures: algorhitms collect, compute and store the resulting parameters. Those parameters are results of personal event information (events), like duration of using and staying on a website/app, behaviours of scrolling and clicking within a website/app, extern links, downloads and pageviews. The usage of an AI enables GA 4 device-crossing evaluation of behaviour - so the algorhitms tune in relevant ads and links for the target groups. So called "conversions" in GA 4 use collected parameters to tune in ads of interests on other visited websites or links, for example. Over time, the AI in GA 4 is also able to forecast the target group´s behaviour in the web like pageviewing and e-shopping. With user-, device- and Google-ID an improved device-crossing usability can be created by GA 4. All collected parameters can and will be called up by the administration, within the GA 4-tool - values and statistics can be watched there. The same can be done over WIX - the administrator can call up all collected information, there - provided by GA 4 (read point 12). Despite of the modernized and improved technology of protecting the privacy within GA 4, cookies are still neccessary. The consent of setting cookies on your device(s) and the any time-changing the cookie-settings (from the beginning or retroactively) remains inavitable (according to german § 25 TTDSG, to protect the privacy).

​

The duration of storing personal event-information is depending from the settings within GA 4. We've set the duration of stored visitor-logs up to 6 months. GA 4 just collect event-parameters by user-visits on our website/app. GA 4 has a preset and automized anonymization function for encrypting users IP-adresses.

18. Legal basis for the processing

​

Art. 6(1) lit. a GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party, as is the case, for example, when processing operations are necessary for the supply of goods or to provide any other service, the processing is based on Article 6(1) lit. b GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations which are necessary for carrying out pre-contractual measures, for example in the case of inquiries concerning our products or services. Is our company subject to a legal obligation by which processing of personal data is required, such as for the fulfillment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6(1) lit. c GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were injured in our company and his name, age, health insurance data or other vital information would have to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. Then the processing would be based on Art. 6(1) lit. d GDPR. Finally, processing operations could be based on Article 6(1) lit. f GDPR. This legal basis is used for processing operations which are not covered by any of the abovementioned legal grounds, if processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data. Such processing operations are particularly permissible because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. He considered that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a client of the controller (Recital 47 Sentence 2 GDPR).

19. The legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party

Where the processing of personal data is based on Article 6(1) lit. f GDPR our legitimate interest is to carry out our business in favor of the well-being of all our employees and the shareholders.

​

20. Period for which the personal data will be stored

The criteria used to determine the period of storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After expiration of that period, the corresponding data is routinely deleted, as long as it is no longer necessary for the fulfillment of the contract or the initiation of a contract.

​

21. Provision of personal data as statutory or contractual requirement; Requirement necessary to enter into a contract; Obligation of the data subject to provide the personal data; possible consequences of failure to provide such data

We clarify that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or can also result from contractual provisions (e.g. information on the contractual partner). Sometimes it may be necessary to conclude a contract that the data subject provides us with personal data, which must subsequently be processed by us. The data subject is, for example, obliged to provide us with personal data when our company signs a contract with him or her. The non-provision of the personal data would have the consequence that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded. Before personal data is provided by the data subject, the data subject must contact any employee. The employee clarifies to the data subject whether the provision of the personal data is required by law or contract or is necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data and the consequences of non-provision of the personal data.

​

21. Existence of automated decision-making

As a responsible company, we do not use automatic decision-making or profiling.
