GDPR

We consider it our obligation to work with CleverPush customers to help them prepare for the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

We provide the following resources for our customers, among others:

  • Sample passage for data protection declaration for the use of CleverPush
  • Order data processing agreement (DPA)
  • Possibility of deleting all saved data in the account settings

We take the following measures, among others:

  • Customer data is stored within Germany
  • Compliance with security standards, HTTPS encryption of all traffic
  • Assistance with desired subscription cancellations via our support

1. Data processing agreement

The order data processing agreement must be accepted directly when registering or logging into the dashboard.

2. Text for opt-in message

The text that appears before or next to the opt-in message can be customized in most cases. We provide our customers with a template for this, which can be used in existing channels via the channel settings with a click on Opt-In -> Adjust texts -> Use template. If desired, this pattern can be inserted directly into new channels. The passage is only a sample for our customers, we do not offer any legal advice and do not guarantee the correctness and completeness of the text.

Push notifications

You can register to receive so-called push notifications. For this we use the “CleverPush” service, which is operated by CleverPush GmbH, Heidenkampsweg 100, 20097 Hamburg (“CleverPush”).

You will regularly receive information via our push notifications about [Please describe the content of the push notifications in as much detail as possible].

In order to register for the push notifications, you must confirm the request from your browser or end device to receive the notifications. This process is documented and saved by CleverPush. The time of registration and a push token or device ID are stored for this purpose. This data is used on the one hand to be able to send you the push notifications and on the other hand as proof of your registration. The legal basis for this processing is your consent and thus Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR.

CleverPush also statistically evaluates our push notifications. CleverPush can thus recognize whether and when our push notifications were displayed and clicked on. This enables us to determine which push notifications are of interest to recipients in order to tailor future messages to the presumed interests of all recipients and thus increase interest in our offer. In addition to the push token or device ID, we also save the main topic of the app on which the push notifications were activated (e.g. business, sports, etc.). We also use this information to send push notifications to the relevant subscribers that are presumed to be in their interests. The legal basis for the processing is Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR. A push token or device ID is only assigned to a specific person if we are legally obliged to do so, to defend against claims against us, if this is required as evidence, and to prosecute any violations of the law.

You can revoke your consent to the storage and use of your personal data to receive our push notifications at any time with effect for the future. Furthermore, you can object to the use of personal data described above at any time on the basis of Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter f. Please revoke your consent for this purpose. You can revoke your consent in the settings provided for this purpose for receiving push notifications in the settings of your device or browser.

Your data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer required to achieve the purpose for which they were collected. Your data will therefore be stored for as long as the subscription to our push notifications is active.

The cancellation process is explained in detail under the following link: https://cleverpush.com/faq.

To accelerate the retrieval of content (e.g. images) and to ward off attacks, CleverPush uses the offers of cloudflare.com, an offer of Cloudflare, Inc., as part of order processing on the basis of the standard contractual clauses.

CleverPush does not store any data on Cloudflare’s servers that contain personal data, only general content such as text or images. When you access this content, the end device you are using establishes a connection to Cloudflare and the IP address of the end device you are using is processed as a result.

Information via Facebook Messenger

You can revocably register to receive messages via Facebook Messenger at any time. You will regularly receive messages about [Please describe the content of the push notifications in as much detail as possible].

For this functionality, we use the “CleverPush” service, which is operated for us by CleverPush GmbH, Heidenkampsweg 100, 20097 Hamburg (“CleverPush”) as a processor.

This enables us to determine which information is of interest to the recipients in order to tailor future messages to the presumed interests of all recipients and thus increase interest in our offer. In addition to the user ID, we also save the main topic of the page on which the notification was activated (e.g. business, sports, etc.).
