The newsletter is sent using the mail service provider “MailChimp”, a newsletter mailing platform of the US provider Rocket Science Group, LLC, 675 Ponce De Leon Ave NE #5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA. You can view the privacy policy of the shipping service provider here: https://mailchimp.com/legal/privacy/.

The mail service provider is used on the basis of our legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO and an order processing agreement pursuant to Art. 28 (3) p. 1 DSGVO.

We have entered into contractual agreements with The Rocket Science Group LLC to the effect that a sufficient level of data protection is also ensured pursuant to Art. 49 DSGVO. MailChimp has signed the EU standard contractual clauses pursuant to Art. 44ff DSGVO and integrated them into MailChimp’s data processing addendum (DPA). You can view MailChimp’s DPA online here.

The mail service provider may use the data of the recipients in pseudonymous form, i. without assignment to a user, to optimize or improve their own services, e.g. for the technical optimization of shipping and the presentation of newsletters or for statistical purposes. However, the shipping service provider does not use the data of our newsletter recipients to address them themselves or to pass the data on to third parties.

The newsletters contain a so-called “web-beacon”, i. a pixel-sized file that is retrieved from the server when opening the newsletter from our server, or if we use a shipping service provider. This call will initially collect technical information, such as information about the browser and your system, as well as your IP address and time of retrieval.

This information is used to improve the technical performance of services based on their specifications or audience and their reading habits, based on their locations (which can be determined using the IP address) or access times. Statistical surveys also include determining if the newsletters will be opened, when they will be opened and which links will be clicked. For technical reasons, this information can be assigned to the individual newsletter recipients. However, it is neither our goal nor, if used, that of the shipping service provider to observe individual users. The evaluations serve us much more to recognize the reading habits of our users and to adapt our content to them or to send different content according to the interests of our users.

2.16 GOOGLE ANALYTICS

Based on our legitimate interests (i.e., interest in the analysis, optimization, and economic operation of our online offer within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) lit.

The information generated by the cookie about the use of the online offer by the users are usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6(1) sentence 1 letter f DSGVO. We have entered into contractual agreements with Google to the effect that a sufficient level of data protection is also ensured in accordance with Art. 49 DSGVO.

Google will use this information on our behalf to evaluate the use of our online offer by users, to compile reports on the activities within this online offer and to provide us with further services related to the use of this online offer and the internet usage. In this case, pseudonymous usage profiles of the users can be created from the processed data.

We only use Google Analytics with activated IP anonymization. This means that the IP address of the users will be shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be sent to a Google server in the US and shortened there.

The IP address submitted by the user’s browser will not be merged with other data provided by Google.

2.17 GOOGLE RE- / MARKETING SERVICES

On the basis of our legitimate interests (i.e. interest in the analysis, optimization and economic operation of our online offer within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) lit. DSGVO) we use the marketing and remarketing services (“Google Marketing Services “), LLC, 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA, (” Google “).

The legal basis for the use of this service is Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 letter f DSGVO. We have entered into contractual agreements with Google to the effect that a sufficient level of data protection is also ensured in accordance with Art. 49 DSGVO.

Google Marketing Services allows us to better target advertisements for and on our website so that we only present ads to users that potentially match their interests. If a user e.g. is shown ads for products he’s been interested in on other websites is called remarketing. For these purposes, when Google and our other websites accessing Google Marketing Services are directly accessed by Google, a code will be executed by Google and so-called (re) marketing tags (invisible graphics or code, also called “Web Beacons “) incorporated into the website. With their help, the user is provided with an individual cookie, i. a small file is saved (instead of cookies, comparable technologies can also be used). The cookies can be set by different domains, including google.com, doubleclick.net, invitemedia.com, admeld.com, googlesyndication.com or googleadservices.com. In this file is noted which web pages the user visited, for what content he is interested and what offers he has clicked, as well as technical information about the browser and operating system, referring web pages, visit time and other information on the use of the online offer. The IP address of the users is also recorded, whereby in the context of Google Analytics we announce that the IP address is shortened within member states of the European Union or other parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area and only in exceptional cases to one Google server in the US is transmitted and shortened there. The IP address will not be merged with data of the user within other offers from Google. The above information may also be linked by Google with such information from other sources. If the user then visits other websites, they can be displayed according to his interests, the ads tailored to him.

The data of the users are pseudonym processed in the context of the Google marketing services. That Google stores and processes e.g. not the name or e-mail address of the users, but processes the relevant data cookie-related within pseudonymous user profiles. That means from the perspective of Google, the ads are not managed and displayed to a specifically identified person, but to the cookie owner, regardless of who that cookie owner is. This does not apply if a user has explicitly allowed Google to process the data without this pseudonymization. The information collected about users through Google Marketing Services is transmitted to Google and stored on Google’s servers in the United States.

Among the Google marketing services we use is the online advertising program “Google AdWords”. In the case of Google AdWords, each advertiser receives a different “conversion cookie”. Cookies can not be tracked through AdWords advertisers’ websites. The information collected through the cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for AdWords advertisers who have opted for conversion tracking. Advertisers will see the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a conversion tracking tag page. However, they do not receive information that personally identifies users.

We can incorporate third-party ads based on the Google AdSense marketing service. AdSense uses cookies that enable Google and its affiliate sites to serve ads based on users’ visits to this site or other sites on the Internet.

In addition, we may use the “Google Tag Manager” to integrate and manage the Google Analytics and Marketing Services on our website.

For more information about Google’s data usage for marketing, see the overview page: https://www.google.com/policies/technologies/ads, Google’s Privacy Policy located at https://www.google.com/policies/privacy available.

DSGVO), we make use of content or services offered by third-party providers in order to provide their content and services Services, such as Include videos or fonts (collectively referred to as “content”).

This always presupposes that the third-party providers of this content perceive the IP address of the users, since they could not send the content to their browser without the IP address. The IP address is therefore required for the presentation of this content. We endeavor to use only content whose respective providers use the IP address solely for the delivery of the content. Third parties may also use so-called pixel tags (invisible graphics, also referred to 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 include, but is not limited to, technical information about the browser and operating system, referring web pages, visit time, and other information regarding the use of our online offer.

We incorporate the fonts (“Google Fonts”) provided by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Privacy Policy: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/, opt-out: https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated.

2.23 INSTAGRAM

Within our online offering, features and content of the Instagram service offered by Instagram Inc., 1601 Willow Road, Menlo Park, CA, 94025, USA, may be incorporated. For this, e.g. content such as images, videos, or text and buttons that users use to promote their content, subscribe to the content creators, or subscribe to our posts. If the users are members of the platform Instagram, Instagram can call the o.g. assign contents and functions to the profiles of the users there. Instagram privacy policy: http://instagram.com/about/legal/privacy/.

Fasting + Intermittent Fasting maintains so-called fan pages with social media providers like Instagram, Facebook (both: Facebook Inc. Menlo Park, California) and Twitter (Twitter Inc., 795 Folsom St., Suite 600, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA) in order to communicate with customers, interested parties, and users who are active there, and to inform them about our products, services, and events. In doing so, the users’ data can be processed outside of the EU. The above-mentioned US providers have signed the EU standard contractual clauses and thus guarantee the observance of European data protection laws.

In the opinion of the European Court of Justice (ECJ), we are responsible, together with Facebook, for the processing of your personal data. You can find the decision of the ECJ dated June 5, 2018 here.

A Joint Controller Agreement exists with Facebook Inc. pursuant to Art. 26 GDPR. Facebook Ireland pledges to assume the main responsibility in the context of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) for the processing of Insights data and to fulfill all applicable obligations in the context of the GDPR with reference to the processing of Insights data (including, but not limited to Articles 12 and 13 GDPR, Articles 15 to 22 GDPR, and Articles 32 to 34 GDPR). Facebook Ireland will also make available the essential information of this Page Insights Addendum to the affected parties. Please contact Facebook to assume your rights as affected parties. The Data Policy of Facebook can be found here.

When using the Facebook fan page, the following data will be collected from you for the purpose of user communication and target group advertising:

user interactions (posts, likes, etc.)
Facebook cookies
demographic data (e.g. based on information regarding age, place of residence, language, or gender)
statistical data on user interactions in aggregated form, that is, without the possibility to relate the information to any particular persons (e.g. page activities, page impressions, page previews, likes, recommendations, articles, videos, page subscriptions, incl. source, times of day)

The usage of personal data for advertising purposes is of particular importance for Facebook. We use the statistics function to find out more about visitors to our fan page. The use of the function enables us to adapt our content to the respective target group. In this way, we also use, for example, the demographic information about the users’ age and location, whereby it is not at all possible for us to relate this information to persons.

In order to provide the social media service in the form of our Facebook fan page and to use the Insight function, Facebook generally saves cookies on the end device of the user. These include session cookies, which are deleted when the browser is closed, and persistent cookies that remain on the end device until they expire or are deleted by the user.

We use the Facebook Insights function for statistical evaluation purposes. In this connection, we receive anonymized data concerning the users of our Facebook fan page. As a result, it is not possible for us to trace them back to your person. For more information, you can refer to the cookie guideline of Facebook.

The personal data of users are processed on the basis of our justified interest in effectively providing information to users and maintaining communication with the users, as well as for the purposes of statistical evaluation pursuant to Art. 6(I) (f) GDPR.

2.25 PAYMENT INFORMATION

When you make payments for our services, no credit or debit card information is stored on our servers. This information is stored by our third party PCI-compliant payment processing companies. We work with the following providers:

PayPal (Europe) S.à r.l. et Cie, S.C.A. 22-24 Boulevard Royal L-2449 Luxembourg Luxembourg
Stripe Inc., 185 Berry Street, Suite 550, San Francisco, CA 94107 (USA)
All credit and debit card transactions occur between the computer from which the transaction originates and our payment processor. When you use one of our trial phases or subscriptions or you purchase something through the service, credit card information and other financial information we need to process the payment is collected and stored with a payment service provider. We also collect certain limited information, such as your zip code, mobile phone number and details of your transaction history. In addition, these payment service providers usually provide us with very limited information about you, such as the unique “token”, which enables you to make further purchases using the data stored by the service providers, as well as your card type, expiration date and last four digits of the number.

We have entered into separate so-called “Data Processing Agreements” with both PayPal and Stripe, in which we commit PayPal and Stripe to protect the data of our customers, to not disclose them to third parties and to comply with the provisions of the standard contractual clauses according to Art. 46 GDPR in the case of a transfer of personal data to the USA.

All data that you send to us from login or login (eg e-mail address, profile information) will be transmitted in encrypted form. This encryption protects the confidentiality of the data exchange between your computer and our web server and helps, e.g. to prevent the interception of data. As encryption technology we use SSL (Secure Socket Layer).

With regard to our databases, all technical precautions have been taken to store your data in a secure environment. Access to the entirety of your information is reserved only for employees who need to complete their professional activities and is only granted for quality control, complaint review and fraud prevention purposes. All our employees are required to comply with data protection regulations and instructed accordingly.

b) By downloading the mobile app, the required information is transmitted to the respective App Store, in particular the username, e-mail address and customer number of your account, time of download, payment information and the individual device code. This data collection is carried out by the respective app stores. We have no influence and are not responsible. We only process the data as far as necessary to download the mobile app to your mobile device.

c) If you want to use the mobile app, we also collect the following data that is technically necessary for us to offer you the features of our mobile app and to ensure the stability and security (legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f DSGVO):

IP address of your mobile device;

After the end of the usage process, this data will be stored anonymously, this means without your IP address, stored in so-called log files. These log files are evaluated exclusively for statistical purposes, a disclosure to third parties does not occur.

d) We use advertising identifiers in the app based on our legitimate interests (i.e. interest in the analysis, optimization and economic operation of our online offer within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) lit. DSGVO). For advertising purposes, we use the so-called “Advertising Identifier” on iOS devices, and the “Google Advertising ID” on Android devices (collectively “Identifier”). This identifier is a unique but non-personalized and non-permanent identification number for a particular device provided by iOS or Android. The data collected via the identifier will not be linked to any other device-related information. We use the identifier to provide you with personalized advertising and to evaluate your use. If you have ad tracking in the settings of your operating system (in iOS under “Privacy” – “Advertising” the option “no ad-tracking”, under Android “Settings” -> “Google Settings” -> “Google” -> View “->” Disable Personalized Advertising “), we can do the following:

Measure your interaction with banners by counting the number of ads on a banner without clicking on them (“frequency capping”),
CTR,
Determination of unique use (“unique user”)
Safety measures,
Prevention of fraud,
Troubleshooting.

You can always delete the identifier in the device settings (in iOS “Reset ID”); then a new identifier is created, which is not merged with the previously collected data. We point out that you may not be able to use all the features of our app if you restrict the use of the identifier.

e) You can subscribe to our e-mail newsletter within the app using the Double-Opt-in procedure. Please read the sections “Newsletter”, “Success Measurement Newsletter” and “Newsletter Shipping Service Provider” above on of this page.

3.2 Apple Health Kit

We use Apple’s HealthKit framework (Apple Inc., 1 Infinite Loop, Cupertino, CA 95014, USA, “Apple”), which provides a central location for health and fitness data on the iPhone and the Apple Watch and with explicit consent allows apps to communicate with the HealthKit Store to access and share this information.

With your explicit consent, we process your health data (weight, body size, age, height, if any) obtained through the HealthKit framework to track and display your fasting activities.

If you enable the HealthKit framework in your iPhone’s settings, Fasting + Intermittent Fasting may, with your consent, send the health information (weight, body size, age, height) to Apple so you can track and view your fasting activities.

The HealthKit framework can be added to new data attributes that are mapped in the product, and you need to agree. At any time, you can prevent Apple from accessing your data and preventing it from being shared by changing your mobile device’s settings. More information about the HealthKit can be found here: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/healthkit

3.3 PUSH NOTIFICATIONS

We use push notifications within the app based on our legitimate interests (i.e. interest in the analysis, optimization and economic operation of our online offer as defined in Art. 6 (1) lit. DSGVO). The app can inform you by push message on certain news, even if you are currently not actively using the app or have it opened. The app uses these push messages only if you have them enabled in the operating system.

When you enable the push message service, your device will be assigned a so-called device token from Apple or a Google Registration ID. Purpose of their use of these IDs is solely the provision of the push services. Without a device token or registration ID, you will not be able to receive push notifications for technical reasons. These identifiers are only encrypted, randomly generated numbers. A conclusion to individual users is excluded for us.

Notes for Apple users:

To be notified of specific events and topics by push notifications, even if you are not currently using the app, you must grant the app the required permission. Without your consent, which you give by activating in the settings, we can not send you a push message. You can customize the permissions for push notifications in iOS settings, and turn push messages on or off at any later time.

To do this, open the app settings for iOS and select the menu item “Notifications”. The following menu provides an overview of all the apps installed on your device that have a push notification feature. Choos our app here. Here you can switch the push notification function on or off. In addition, you have the option to customize the appearance of push notifications of the app to your liking.

Notes for Android users:

On Android, all apps are set by default to allow you to receive push notifications, even if you have not opened or used the app. This can not be avoided due to the technical specifications of Google, on which we have no influence.

Within the app, you can switch off the push services you activated (more -> messages) at any time. Regardless of the settings in the app, you can also switch off the reception of push notifications by going to the App Settings “in the main menu of your device and selecting” Apps “in the following menu item. There you will find an overview of all the apps installed on your device. Choose here our app. You can then switch the push message function on or off using the “Show notifications” check mark.
