The following terms are used in the following data protection policy:
When you access our portal, the browser used on your device automatically sends information to the server of our portal/website. The following information is collected:
This data is saved in log files in our system, whereby the IP address is made anonymous. This data is not saved together with the visitor's other personal data.
Likewise, this data is not passed on to third parties. In strict compliance with relevant data protection regulations, our carefully selected service providers involved in hosting and maintaining our systems are the only recipients of the data, if there are any recipients at all. This is done on the basis of order processing agreements, to which the service providers are contractually bound, and we remain responsible for the processing of the data in this respect.
The system's temporary storage of the IP address is necessary to enable the website to be transmitted to the visitor's computer. The visitor's IP address must be stored for the duration of the session for this purpose.
The data is stored in log files to ensure the functionality of the website. In addition, the files serve to optimize the website and to ensure the security of our information technology systems.
The legal basis for temporarily saving data as well as saving log files is Art. 6 para 1. lit. f) GDPR.
The legitimate interest in data processing required for this purpose exists in the processing purposes mentioned under Section 1.2 above.
The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or processed. In cases in which the data is collected and saved for the purposes of providing the website, the data is deleted when the respective session has ended.
If the data is stored in log files, it is deleted thirty days after it is collected.
In accordance with Article 21 of the GDPR, you have the right at any time to object to the processing of the data in accordance with Section 1.1 for reasons resulting from your particular situation. In this case, we will no longer process the data, unless compelling reasons to process the data are demonstrated that outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms, or if the processing serves to make, process, or defend legal claims.
To exercise a right of objection, the visitor can contact us via email using the email address support@nextpit.com.
If the objection is justifiable, the data will be deleted.
There is a contact form on our website, which can be used for electronic communication. If a visitor takes advantage of this option, the data entered in the input form will be transferred to us and saved. This data includes:
At the time the message is sent, the following data is saved:
When sending the message using the contact form, your consent is obtained for the processing of the data and you will be referred to this data protection policy.
You can alternatively contact us via the email address provided. In this case, the visitor's personal data transmitted by email will be saved.
The data are used exclusively for the processing of the respective inquiry. In this context, the data will not be passed on to third parties. In strict compliance with relevant data protection regulations, our carefully selected service providers involved in hosting and maintaining our systems are the only recipients of the data, if there are any recipients at all. This is done on the basis of order processing agreements, to which the service providers are contractually bound, and we remain responsible for the processing of the data in this respect.
The processing of personal data from the input form and/or your email inquiry takes place solely for the purposes of establishing contact. If you contact us by email, this likewise constitutes the necessary legitimate interest to process the data.
The other personal data processed during the transmission process serves to prevent misuse of the contact form and to ensure the security of our information technology systems.
The legal basis for the processing of data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR if the visitor has given his or her consent (for inquiries via the contact form).
The legal basis for the processing of data transmitted in the course of sending an email is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. If the email contact is aimed at the conclusion of a contract, then the additional legal basis for processing the data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR.
The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected. For personal data from the input form of the contact form and sent by email, this data is deleted when the visitor's respective conversation or inquiry has ended. The conversation is terminated when it can be inferred from the circumstances that the facts in questions have finally been clarified.
The additional personal data collected during the transmission process will be deleted at the latest after a period of 30 days from the time the data was collected.
The visitor has the possibility at any time to revoke his consent to the processing of personal data which he has given when using the contact form. The processing of the data that has taken place before the revocation is not affected by the revocation.
If the visitor contacts us via email, he or she can object to his personal data being stored at any time in accordance with Art. 21 GDPR. In this case, the conversation cannot be continued.
In order to make a corresponding objection or revocation, the visitor can contact us using the email address support@nextpit.com.
The data stored in the process of establishing contact will be deleted in the aforementioned cases.
In order to be able to use the services and functions offered within the context of the portal, registration is required for users. The following data is required for registration.
At the time the registration request is sent, the following metadata is saved:
Without the aforementioned data, the conclusion or implementation of the contract is not possible. The processing of this data is necessary in this context.
With the exception of the metadata, this data is entered via a corresponding input form. We store all this data. This data is processed to conclude and implement the user contract for the use of the portal’s services and functions.
With the exception of the username, this data is not publicly accessible via the portal.
If the user uses his or her account from the internet platforms Facebook or Google to register, we receive the user’s corresponding email address directly via Facebook or Google. With this configuration, it is not necessary for the responsible party to collect the password. Furthermore, reference is made in this context to the data protection information provided by Facebook or Google.
In strict compliance with relevant data protection regulations, our carefully selected service providers involved in hosting and maintaining our systems are the only recipients of the data, if there are any recipients at all. This is done on the basis of order processing agreements, to which the service providers are contractually bound, and we remain responsible for the processing of the data in this respect.
The processing of the data collected during registration serves to conclude and implement the user contract with the user with respect to the use of the portal or its services and functions.
The metadata also serves to prevent misuse of the registration and to ensure the security of our information technology systems.
The legal basis for the processing of login data collected in the context of registration is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR.
After complete processing of the contract of use concerning the use of the services in the portal or deletion of the user’s profile, the data will be deleted and processing will be restricted to the extent necessary for tax and commercial obligations to save it. The data will be deleted at the latest after the expiry of the corresponding legal retention period, unless the user has expressly consented to further use of the data.
The user has the option to complete his user profile with voluntary information that is publicly visible in the portal. The following optional data may be collected and saved:
The aforementioned data can be viewed publicly via the portal and is processed for the purposes of the contract or to perform the functions offered within the scope of the portal. In particular, this data is also processed for the user to present it.
In strict compliance with relevant data protection regulations, our carefully selected service providers involved in hosting and maintaining our systems are the only recipients of the data, if there are any recipients at all. This is done on the basis of order processing agreements, to which the service providers are contractually bound, and we remain responsible for the processing of the data in this respect.
The processing of the data collected during registration serves the purpose of implementing the user contract with the user regarding the use of the portal or its services and functions.
The legal basis for the processing of data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR.
After complete processing of the user contract or deletion of the user profile, the data will be deleted and processing will be restricted to the extent necessary for tax and commercial obligations to save it. The data will be deleted at the latest after the expiry of the corresponding legal retention period, unless the user has expressly consented to further use of the data.
Users have the opportunity to comment on articles published on the portal.
The user submits his or her comment using the appropriate input form. They also have the option of subscribing to notifications from the portal via email when users reply to their comments. Other users can also be informed about the user's answers.
If the user sends the comment, it will be published and stored in a publicly accessible form on the portal. The publication and storage of the comment is linked to the username and profile picture of the user as well as the date and time of the comment.
Apart from that, the data from the comment will not be passed on to third parties. In strict compliance with relevant data protection regulations, our carefully selected service providers involved in hosting and maintaining our systems are the only recipients of the data, if there are any recipients at all. This is done on the basis of order processing agreements, to which the service providers are contractually bound, and we remain responsible for the processing of the data in this respect.
The processing of the data serves the use of the comment function and serves in particular for the interaction, the exchange and the formation of opinions in the framework of the portal.
This processing therefore takes place for the execution of the portal functions that are provided within the context of the user relationship and used by the user.
The legal basis for the processing of data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR.
The user has the option to delete comments he or she has made at any time. In this case, the comment data will be deleted.
Users have the option to participate in the forum within the context of the portal by writing and publishing contributions. The user must first select the forum via the corresponding input form, and then leave a title and message. If the user publishes his or her contribution (and saves the contribution), it will be published on the portal with his or her username, the profile picture and the time of the contribution.
The user additionally has the option to answer, evaluate and observe contributions in the forum. The user can view and manage his or her saved messages as well as forums he or she has viewed in the forum overview within the scope of his or her profile.
Apart from this, the forum data will not be passed on to third parties. In strict compliance with relevant data protection regulations, our carefully selected service providers involved in hosting and maintaining our systems are the only recipients of the data, if there are any recipients at all. This is done on the basis of order processing agreements, to which the service providers are contractually bound, and we remain responsible for the processing of the data in this respect.
The processing of the data serves the purpose of providing users with the opportunity to participate in the forum, and therefore to inform, exchange and form opinions within the context of the portal.
This processing therefore takes place for the execution of the portal functions that are provided within the context of the user relationship and used by the user.
The legal basis for this processing of the project data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR.
With the discontinuation of the purpose of processing, i.e. after complete processing of the user contract or deletion of the user's profile, the user’s subscriptions to the contributions in the forum for the user concerned will be deleted. The contributions will then no longer allow any conclusions to be drawn about the user’s identity.
Within the framework of the portal, users can playfully measure their user activity on the portal and compare it with other users. Users can earn points for various campaigns on the portal and collect them on a corresponding account.
Gamification events are saved in the user’s profile; these are actions within the context of the portal, for which the user can acquire points. Depending on the score, the user can reach different levels. In addition, the score, the level reached and corresponding ranking will be saved. However, only the corresponding user ranking can be viewed by the public.
Apart from this, the forum data will not be passed on to third parties. In strict compliance with relevant data protection regulations, our carefully selected service providers involved in hosting and maintaining our systems are the only recipients of the data, if there are any recipients at all. This is done on the basis of order processing agreements, to which the service providers are contractually bound, and we remain responsible for the processing of the data in this respect.
The processing of the aforementioned data serves to document user activity on the portal for use by the user in the context of the playful competition through gamification.
This processing therefore takes place for the execution of the portal functions provided within the context of the user relationship and used by the user.
The legal basis for the processing of data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR.
During the period of use of the portal by the user (user relationship), the corresponding data is saved and processed within the scope of the corresponding functions. When the purpose of processing ceases to apply, i.e. after complete processing of the user contract or deletion of the user's profile, reference to the user in this data is terminated, while this data is still retained. This means that from then on no conclusions can be drawn about the user’s identity.
Within the framework of the portal, visitors and users have the option of subscribing to the newsletters offered free of charge.
When registering, the user's consent to receive the newsletter is obtained and documented. Furthermore, it is pointed out in particular that the consent given by the user can be revoked at any time with immediate effect.
To receive the newsletter, we require your name and e-mail address.
The registration takes place in a so-called double opt-in procedure. This means that the user expressly consents to receiving the newsletter and receives a confirmation e-mail with an activation link after registration. In order to be able to prove the registration process in accordance with the legal requirements, the registrations for the newsletter are logged. This includes the storage of the registration and confirmation time.
The newsletter is sent on our behalf via the mailing service "ConvertKit", a newsletter delivery platform of the US provider ConvertKit LLC, 750 W Bannock St. #761, Boise ID 83701 (hereinafter "ConvertKit").
We have concluded a "Data Processing Agreement" with ConvertKit in accordance with § 28 GDPR, in which we oblige ConvertKit to protect our customers' data and not to pass it on to third parties.
The dispatch service provider may use the recipients' data in pseudonymous form, i.e. without attribution to a user, to optimize or improve its own services, e.g. for the technical optimization of dispatch, the presentation of the newsletter or for statistical purposes. The dispatch service provider will not write its own e-mails to the newsletter recipients.
The newsletters contain a so-called "web beacon". This is a pixel-sized file that is retrieved from the ConvertKit server when the newsletter is opened. As part of your retrieval, technical information is first collected, such as information about the browser and your system, as well as your IP address and the time of the retrieval. This technical data is used to analyse the target groups, reading behaviour, access times and retrieval points of the recipients.
The statistical surveys also include an analysis of whether the sent newsletters are opened by the respective recipients, when they are opened and which links are clicked on.
This technical information is used to continuously improve the newsletter. The analyses are used to recognise the reading behaviour of the individual newsletter recipients and to adapt the content we provide accordingly to our newsletter subscribers or to send different individualised content.
The data is processed for the purpose of sending the newsletter.
The processing of data in connection with the sending of the newsletter is based on your consent, legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. a) GDPR.
The user's consent can be revoked at any time with effect for the future and the corresponding subscription to the newsletter can be cancelled. The revocation can be made by sending an e-mail to support@nextpit.com or by using the unsubscribe link in the newsletter. This possibility is also pointed out separately in each newsletter.
In this case, the lawfulness of the processing of the email address remains unaffected until the time of the revocation.
The recipient of your data is the service provider.
ConvertKit uses so-called standard contractual clauses (SCC) in the sense of Art. 46 (2) and (3) GDPR as the basis for data processing with recipients based in third countries or a transfer of data there. SCC are templates provided by the EU Commission and are intended to ensure that your data comply with European data protection standards even if they are transferred to third countries (such as the USA) and stored there. Through these clauses, ConvertKit undertakes to comply with the European level of data protection when processing your relevant data, even if the data is stored, processed and managed in the USA. These clauses are based on an implementing decision of the EU Commission.
More information about the standard contractual clauses at ConvertKit can be found at https://convertkit.com/security.
You can find out more about the data processed through the use of ConvertKit in the Privacy Policy at https://convertkit.com/privacy.
The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer necessary to achieve the purpose for which they were collected. Accordingly, the user's e-mail address is stored for as long as the subscription to the selected newsletter is active. Thereafter, the e-mail address will be deleted unless the user has given us permission to use it for other purposes or we are entitled by law to process the e-mail address for other purposes.
The provision of your personal data is based solely on your voluntarily given consent. Unfortunately, we cannot send you our newsletter without existing consent.
As an essential function of the portal, users have the option to send private messages via a messaging system internal to the portal. Every user on the portal can receive messages from other users, but sending private messages is only possible when one has reached level 3 of the gamification status (cf. under C.III.3.). After sending the message via the portal, the messages are then sent to the corresponding users via email. The recipient receives an email from the portal in which he or she receives the sender’s message.
The message is sent via a corresponding messaging form within the portal. When sending a message, the user only has to enter his or her message and decide whether he or she would like to receive a copy of the message. The users’ usernames are used to identify the sender and recipient. Apart from the usernames and the content of the message, none of the user’s other data is involved in the transmission of the private message. The user has the option of rejecting the receipt of private messages in the settings of his or her user profile.
The purpose of the processing is to send private messages via the portal, which represents an essential function in the portal within the context of the user relationship.
The legal basis for processing the data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR.
Cookies are used within the context of the portal. These are small text files that are stored on your end device in the browser that you use and through which certain information flows to the location where the cookie was set.
We use these cookies to make your visit to our portal attractive, to enable the use of certain functions and to be able to display suitable products to you.
Some of the cookies that are used within the context of the portal are deleted after the end of the respective session, i.e. after closing your browser (session cookies). Other cookies, on the other hand, remain on your terminal device even after the end of the session and enable us to recognize your browser the next time you visit our portal (persistent cookies).
The duration of the storage of the respective cookies can be seen in the overview in the cookie settings of your browser. You can also set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and decide individually whether to accept them or to exclude the acceptance of cookies in certain cases or in general. With respect to how long cookies are saved, we refer to the respective cookie settings in browsers.
We would like to point out, however, that the functionality of our portal may be limited if the use of cookies is prevented.
The cookies used also collect data about usage behavior in the portal. However, the data collected in this way is pseudonymized through technical measures. It is therefore no longer possible to assign the data to a respective user.
| Name | Purpose | Duration |
| JSESSIONID | Session cookie is used to identify logged-in users. | SESSION |
| np_theme | Technically necessary cookie that determines the appearance (dark mode/light mode) of the website. | 1 year |
| lf_k | Technically necessary cookie. Enables automatic login. | 180 days |

The purpose of the processing is primarily to simplify the use of websites for users. Furthermore, some functions on our portal cannot be offered without the use of cookies. It is also necessary that the user’s browser is recognized even when a user leaves the website and returns.
Cookies are used for analysis purposes in order to improve the quality of our website and its contents. These analysis cookies tell us how the website is used and enable us to constantly optimize our services.
In the aforementioned purposes, it is also in our legitimate interest to process the data in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR.
The legal basis for the processing of data using cookies is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR.
The cookies are stored on your end device and transmitted to our portal, which means the respective user has full control over the use of cookies. You can deactivate or restrict the transmission of cookies by changing the cookie settings in your internet browser. Cookies already stored on your end device can be deleted at any time. This can also be done automatically. However, if cookies are deactivated for our portal, it may no longer be possible to use all functions on the portal to their full extent.
The portal also uses Google Analytics for web analysis. This is an analysis service of Google LLC (www.google.com). Google Analytics enables an analysis of users’ use of our portal. In this way, we are able to optimize our services and adapt them to the needs of the users.
The automatically collected information about the users’ use of the portal is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. By activating IP anonymization as part of our portal, the IP address is shortened prior to transmission within the Member States of the European Union or in other signatory states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. The IP address transmitted by your browser within the context of Google Analytics is not aggregated with other Google data.
Google LLC is headquartered in the USA and is certified under the EU-US Privacy Shield. As a result of this agreement between the US and the European Commission, the latter has established an adequate level of data protection for companies certified under the Privacy Shield.
The purpose of the processing is to analyze user behavior in order to optimize the offer and to adapt our portal to the needs of users.
This also constitutes legitimate interest within the scope of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR.
The legal basis for processing the data within the context of web analysis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR.
After we have finished using the data for the purposes of Google Analytics, the data collected in this context will be deleted.
You can prevent Google from collecting and processing the data that the cookie generates and that relates to your use of the website (including your IP address) by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en
Alternatively, by clicking on this link, you prevent Google Analytics from collecting data about you within this website. By clicking on the link above you can download an "opt out cookie". Your browser must therefore allow cookies to be stored. If you delete your cookies regularly, you will need to click on the link again each time you visit this website.
Within the framework of the portal we use reCAPTCHA to avoid abusive and in particular automated access to our portal. This is a service of Google LLC (www.google.com).
With the help of this service, the user’s behavior that is targeted is automatically analyzed on the basis of various features as soon as our portal is accessed. reCAPTCHA evaluates various information, such as the IP address and the duration of stay on the portal, which is necessary for the functioning of the portal. The data collected in this context is forwarded to Google.
Google LLC is headquartered in the USA and is certified under the EU-US Privacy Shield. As a result of this agreement between the US and the European Commission, the latter has established an adequate level of data protection for companies certified under the Privacy Shield.
For further information on this service and the associated data processing, please refer to Google's data protection information, available at https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en.
The purpose of processing is the protection and integrity of our portal and our IT systems by preventing abusive and in particular automated access. This also constitutes our legitimate interest in the processing of the data.
The legal basis for processing the data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR.
As part of our portal, we use Sentry, an error analysis service. This service is provided by Functional Software Inc, 132 Hawthorne Street, San Francisco, California 94107, USA ("Sentry").
When an error occurs on our portal, an error analysis is sent to Sentry. In the process, the IP address and browser data of the visitor or user are transmitted.
In order to ensure the technical stability of our portal, system errors are logged with the help of Sentry.
The legal basis for the processing of the data is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR, whereby our legitimate interest results from the stated purpose.
The recipient of your data is the provider of the services.
The information generated by Sentry is usually transmitted to a server of the service provider located in the USA and stored there. We have concluded a "Data Processing Agreement" in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR with Sentry for the data protection-compliant processing of your data when carrying out the error analysis.
Sentry uses standard contractual clauses (SCC) within the meaning of Art. 46 (2) and (3) GDPR as the basis for data processing for recipients based in third countries or a transfer of data there.
