Privacy Policy
We appreciate your interest in our website and company. Data protection is of a particularly high priority for the management of Boxxstep. The use of the Internet pages of Boxxstep is possible without any indication of personal data. However, if a data subject wants to use our service via our website, processing of personal data could become necessary. If processing of personal data is necessary and if there is no legal basis for such processing, we will generally obtain the consent of the data subject.
The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, e-mail address of a data subject shall always be in line with the UK`s Data Protection Act (DPA) and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). By means of this privacy policy, we would like to inform the public about the type, scope and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process. Furthermore, data subjects are informed of their rights by means of this privacy policy.
As the controller, Boxxstep has implemented numerous technical and organisational measures to ensure the most complete protection of personal data processed through this website and service. Nevertheless, Internet-based data transmissions may be subject to security vulnerabilities, so that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transmit personal data to us by alternative means.

Collection of general data and information
The website of Boxxstep collects a series of general data and information every time a data subject or automated system calls up the website. This general data and information is stored in the log files of the server. The following data may be collected:
- the browser types and versions used,
- the operating system used by the accessing system,
- the website from which an accessing system accesses our website (so-called referrer),
- the sub-websites that are accessed via an accessing system on our website,
- the date and time of an access to the website,

- the Internet service provider of the accessing system, and
- other similar data and information that serve to avert danger in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.

YouTube
We have integrated YouTube components within our system. YouTube allows the free posting of video clips and their free viewing, rating and commenting. By calling up one of the individual pages of our online offers on which YouTube content has been integrated, a connection to YouTube is established in order to download the necessary elements for displaying the corresponding video. In the process, YouTube or the operating company Google receives information about which sub-page within our online offers has been called up by the respective user. In addition, further information such as the IP address, the browser used, the operating system as well as technical device information, date and duration of the visit are forwarded. If the user is logged in to YouTube with the same device at the same time as visiting our online offers, YouTube recognises the user when a single page containing a YouTube video is called up. This takes place regardless of whether the data subject clicks on a YouTube video or not. This information can be collected by YouTube or Google and assigned to the profile of the respective user, unless the elements have been integrated in “Privacy Mode”. We always use the “Privacy Mode”, if this is possible.

Administration, financial accounting, office organisation, contact management
We process data in the context of administrative tasks as well as organisation of our operations, financial accounting and compliance with legal obligations, such as archiving.

The purpose and our interest in the processing lies in the administration, financial accounting, office organisation, archiving of data, i.e., tasks that serve the maintenance of our business activities, performance of our tasks and provision of our services. The deletion of data with regard to contractual services and contractual communication corresponds to the data mentioned in these processing activities.
In this context, we disclose or transfer data to consultants, such as legal advisors or auditors, as well as other fee offices and payment service providers.
Furthermore, based on our business interests, we store information on suppliers, event organisers and other business partners, e.g., for the purpose of contacting them at a later date.

Legal basis of processing
Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR serves our company as the legal basis for processing operations in 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 a party, as is the case, for example, with processing operations that are necessary for the delivery of goods or the provision of another service or consideration, the processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. The same applies to processing operations that are necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, for example in the case of enquiries about our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation by which the processing of personal data becomes necessary, such as for the fulfilment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data might become necessary in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were to be injured on our premises and as a result his or her name, age,
health insurance details or other vital information had to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. Then the processing would be based on Art. 6 I lit. d GDPR. Finally, processing operations could be based on Art. 6 I lit. f GDPR. Processing operations which are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases are based on this legal basis if the processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject are not overridden. Such processing operations are permitted to us in particular because they were specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this respect, it took the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a customer of Boxxstep (recital 47, sentence 2 of the GDPR).
Legitimate interests in the processing pursued by us or a third party
If the processing of personal data is based on Article 6 I lit. f GDPR, our legitimate interest is the conduct of our business for the benefit of the well-being of all our employees and our shareholders.
Duration for which the personal data are storedÂ
The criterion for the duration of the storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After the expiry of the period, the corresponding data is routinely deleted, provided that it is no longer required for the fulfilment of the contract or the initiation of the contract.
Legal or contractual provisions for the provision of personal data; necessity for the conclusion of the contract; obligation of the data subject to provide the personal data; possible consequences of non-provision
We inform you that the provision of personal data is sometimes required by law (e.g., tax regulations) or may also result from contractual regulations (e.g., information on the contractual partner). Sometimes, in order to conclude a contract, it may be necessary for a data subject to provide us with personal data that must subsequently be processed by us. For example, the data subject is obliged to provide us with personal data if our company concludes a contract with him or her. Failure to provide the personal data would mean that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded. Before providing personal data by the data subject, the data subject must contact one of our employees. Our employee will explain to the data subject on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of the personal data is required by law or by contract or is necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data and what the consequences of not providing the personal data would be.
Existence of automated decision-makingÂ
As a responsible company, we do not use automated decision-making or profiling.
When do we disclose your Personal Data?Â
We may share your information with organisations that help us provide the services described in this policy and who may process such data on our behalf and in accordance with this policy, to support our online offer and our services.

legal advisors, customer care, accounting, billing and similar services that allow us to perform our contractual obligations, administrative tasks and duties efficiently and effectively).
If we commission third parties to process data on the basis of a so-called “processing agreement”, this is done on the basis of Art. 28 GDPR.
In relation to metadata obtained about you, we may share a cookie identifier and IP data with analytic service providers to assist us in the improvement and optimisation of our website which is subject to our Cookies Policy.
We may also disclose information in other circumstances such as when you agree to it or if the law, a Court order, a legal obligation or regulatory authority ask us to.

Data Breaches/NotificationÂ
Databases or data sets that include Personal Data may be breached inadvertently or through wrongful intrusion. Upon becoming aware of a data breach, we will notify all affected individuals whose Personal Data may have been compromised, and the notice will be accompanied by a description of action being taken to reconcile any damage as a result of the data breach. Notices will be provided as expeditiously as possible after which the breach was discovered.

For your protection and the protection of all of our users, we may ask you to provide proof of identity before we can answer the above requests.
Keep in mind, we may reject requests for certain reasons, including if the request is unlawful or if it may infringe on trade secrets or intellectual property or the privacy of another user. Also, we may not be able to accommodate certain requests to object to the processing of personal information, notably where such requests would not allow us to provide our service to you anymore.
Integration Of Services and Contents of Third PartiesÂ
We use within our online offer on the basis of our legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR), content or services offered by third-party providers in order to integrate their content and services.
This always requires that the third-party providers of this content are aware of your IP address, since the content or service could not send to your browser without the IP address. The IP address is thus required for the display of this content, and we endeavour to use providers that only use your IP address for the delivery of the content or services. However, Third-party providers may also use so-called pixel tags (invisible graphics, also known as “web beacons”) for statistical or marketing purposes. The “pixel tags” can be used to evaluate information such as visitor traffic on the pages of this website. The pseudonymous information may also be stored in cookies on the user’s device and may contain, among other things, technical information about the browser and operating system, referring websites, time of visit and other information about the use of our online offer, as well as be linked to such information from other sources.
Google AnalyticsÂ
We use Google Analytics, a service provided by Google Inc. This means that the data collected can in principle be transmitted to a Google server in the USA, whereby the IP addresses are anonymised by means of IP anonymisation so that an allocation is not possible. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data. You can object to the collection and processing of this data by Google Analytics by setting an opt-out cookie that prevents the future collection of your data when you visit this website: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en.
WordPressÂ
This website uses WordPress. The provider is WordPress Foundation. In order to optimise and improve our information service on our website, we collect and store data such as the date and time of the page view, the page from which you accessed our site, and the like. This is done anonymously without personally identifying the user of the site. If necessary, user profiles are created by means of a pseudonym. Here too, no connection is made between the natural persons behind the pseudonym and the usage data collected. This represents a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. of GDPR.
Children Data
Our website is not intended for children, and we do not knowingly collect data relating to children. If you become aware that your Child has provided us with Personal Data, without parental consent, please contact us and we take the necessary steps to remove that information from our server.Â
International transfersÂ
Our main operations are based in the UK and your personal information is generally processed, stored and used in global data centres. We take steps to ensure there is an appropriate level of security, so your personal information is protected in the same way as if it was being used within the UK and the EEA.
Where we need to transfer your data outside the UK and the EEA, we will use one of the following safeguards:
- The use of approved standard contractual clauses in contracts for the transfer of personal data to third countries.
- Transfers to a non-EEA country with privacy laws that give the same protection as the EEA.
Changes
This policy and our commitment to protecting the privacy of your personal data can result in changes to this policy. Please regularly review this policy to keep up to date with any changes.

Any comments or queries on this policy should be directed to us at [email protected]. If you believe that we have not complied with this policy or acted otherwise than in accordance with data protection law, then you should notify us.
