A few words on the subject of data protection
First things first: data protection is taken very seriously by me and my work as MONKEY DISKO. It is therefore possible to use the MONKEY DISKO website and apps without providing any personal data. However, the processing of personal data may be necessary for the use of some functions. Your personal data, whether names, email addresses, or data generated via apps, will never be misused by me or passed on to third parties. On my website www.monkeydisko.de, I regularly take all possible measures to protect your data as best as possible (e.g., SSL encryption or embedding YouTube videos with extended data protection mode). The same applies to the apps I offer. Here, too, I ensure that only data that is necessary for the purpose of the app is collected and processed. The same applies to the necessary permissions in the case of apps. I will never program apps that request permissions without any recognizable benefit in the app. Permissions (e.g., access to the camera) are only required if they serve a specific, apparent purpose or an important function within the app (e.g., to be able to use photos within the app).
If you are unsure where your data is stored or processed, please contact me. However, the current legal situation also requires a detailed privacy policy that provides transparent and detailed information about the possible use of personal data. I comply with this requirement below.
Privacy Policy
Scope
This privacy policy informs users of the websites or apps about the nature, scope, and purposes of the collection and use of personal data by the responsible provider MONKEY DISKO. The individual sub-items of the privacy policy apply for the most part to both the websites and the apps offered by MONKEY DISKO, such as Kegelbuddy or Pilgu’s Mathe Run. If individual items only apply to specific services, this is indicated accordingly in the heading.
The processing of personal data, such as a user’s name, address, or email address, is always carried out in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation and in compliance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to MONKEY DISKO.
As the controller, MONKEY DISKO has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection possible for personal data processed via the website and apps. Nevertheless, Internet-based data transmissions can generally have security gaps, so that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every user is free to transmit personal data by alternative means or to refrain from using specific services or the websites or apps altogether.
The legal basis for data protection can be found in the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG), and the Telemedia Act (TMG), among others.
The controller within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation, other data protection laws applicable in the member states of the European Union, and other provisions of a data protection nature is Sascha Beckmann (see above).
Handling of personal data
Personal data is information that can be used to identify a person, i.e., information that can be traced back to a person. This includes, for example, a person’s name or email address. However, data about preferences, hobbies, memberships, or which websites a person has viewed also counts as personal data.
Personal data is only collected and processed if this is permitted by law or if users consent to the collection of data. Users can object to the use and processing of their personal data at any time, even retrospectively. Any existing data will then be deleted immediately.
Contact
When contacting MONKEY DISKO (for example, via a contact form or email), the user’s personal data, which is provided on a voluntary basis, will be stored for the purpose of processing the inquiry, establishing contact, and in the event that follow-up questions arise. This personal data will not be passed on to third parties at any time.
Registering
The use of certain areas of the website or specific functions within the apps may require prior registration. The data entered during registration will be used exclusively for the stated purpose of using the service. Users may be informed by email about information relevant to the service or registration, such as changes to the scope of the service or technical circumstances. The data collected can be seen in the input mask during registration. This includes, for example, username, password, and email address.
Registration with voluntary provision of personal data serves exclusively to offer the user content or services that, due to their nature, can only be offered to registered users. Registered users are free to change the personal data provided during registration at any time or to have it completely deleted from the data stock of the controller. A short message is sufficient.
Google Ad Services
This offer uses ad services (Admob) in some apps and websites to integrate advertisements. The service may transfer information about the website or app used and the delivery of advertising formats to a server (e.g., advertising network) and store it there. This information may be passed on to contractual partners from there. The type and content of the advertisements displayed, as well as the collection and processing of personal data within the scope of the ad service, are beyond the control of MONKEY DISKO. The operator’s corresponding privacy policy applies.
The operating company of Google Ad Services is Google LLC, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.
Social Media Services
MONKEY DISKO has integrated so-called social media or sharing components from Facebook, Google, Meta, or Xing (hereinafter referred to as “services”) into parts of its websites and apps. These services are social networks.
Through the explicit use of one of the components (e.g., Facebook Like button), the corresponding service receives information about which specific subpage of the website is being visited. If the user is logged into the corresponding service at the same time, this information is collected by the social media components during the visit to the websites and assigned to the user’s respective account by the service. If the user clicks on one of the integrated social media buttons, the service assigns this information to the user’s personal account and stores it as personal data. If you do not want this information to be transmitted to one of the services, you can prevent this by logging out of your accounts before visiting the website or app.
The operating company of Facebook is Facebook, Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA. The controller responsible for processing personal data for users outside the USA or Canada is Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.
The operating company of Google+ is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.
The operating company of Twitter is Twitter, Inc., 1355 Market Street, Suite 900, San Francisco, CA 94103, USA.
The operating company of Xing is XING SE, Dammtorstraße 30, 20354 Hamburg, Germany.
YouTube Videos
MONKEY DISKO has integrated components (videos) from YouTube into parts of its websites and apps. YouTube is an internet video portal.
When providing video material in parts of MONKEY DISKO’s websites and apps, YouTube or Google will be informed of which specific subpage is being visited when the user explicitly plays the videos. If the user is logged into YouTube at the same time, YouTube will recognize which specific subpage is being visited when a subpage containing a YouTube video is accessed. This information is collected by YouTube and Google and assigned to the user’s YouTube account. If you do not want this information to be transmitted to YouTube and Google, you can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account before visiting the website or app.
YouTube is operated by YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. YouTube, LLC is a subsidiary of Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.
Comment function (applies only to the use of the website)
MONKEY DISKO offers users the opportunity to leave individual comments on individual blog posts. A blog is a portal maintained on a website, usually publicly accessible, consisting of articles and posts that can usually also be commented on by third parties.
If a user leaves a comment on one of these published blogs, in addition to the comments left by the user, information about the time the comment was entered and the chosen user name is also stored and published. The data collected can be seen in the input mask within the comment function. In addition, the IP address assigned by the user’s Internet service provider is also logged. This IP address is stored for security reasons and in case users violate the rights of third parties or post illegal content through a comment they have submitted. The storage of this personal data is therefore in the legitimate interest of the controller. This collected personal data will not be passed on to third parties unless such disclosure is required by law or serves the purpose of legal defense.
Gravatar (applies only to the use of the website)
MONKEY DISKO uses the Gravatar service for its comment function. Gravatar is a service that allows users to link their email address to a profile picture. The purpose of this service is to allow users to display a profile picture alongside the comments they leave. To do this, users must be registered with Gravatar. For this purpose, the email address provided by the user is transmitted to Gravatar in encrypted form to check whether a profile is stored for that address. This is the sole purpose of transmitting the email address, which is not used for any other purpose and is deleted afterwards. The use of Gravatar is based on legitimate interests within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR, as Gravatar offers authors of posts and comments the opportunity to personalize their posts with a profile picture. If such processing is not desired, each user is free to use a different email address (not stored with Gravatar) or to refrain from using the comment function altogether.
The operator of the Gravatar service is Automattic Inc., 60 29th Street #343, San Francisco, CA 94110, USA.
Cookies (applies only to the use of the website)
Cookies are small files that enable specific information relating to the device to be stored on the user’s access device (PC, smartphone, etc.). On the one hand, they serve to improve the user-friendliness of websites and thus benefit users (e.g., storage of login data). On the other hand, they serve to collect statistical data on website usage and analyze it for the purpose of improving the website. Users can influence the use of cookies. For example, the setting of cookies by the website can be prevented at any time by means of a corresponding setting in the Internet browser used. Furthermore, cookies that have already been set can be deleted at any time via the Internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all common Internet browsers. However, it is expressly pointed out that in this case, not all functions of the website may be fully usable.
Local storage (applies only to the use of the apps)
The apps offered by MONKEY DISKO store specific user settings (e.g., selected options) and relevant data for the app (e.g., login, score, timestamp, etc.) in the local, protected area of the device (smartphone/tablet). Under certain circumstances, this may also include personal data such as user name or email address. MONKEY DISKO has no access to this data. The data in the local device memory can only be deleted by the user themselves in the system settings of the end device or by uninstalling the app at any time. However, stored app data or settings will be irretrievably lost.
Online cloud storage (applies only to the use of the apps)
Users of apps (such as Kegelbuddy delüx) can synchronize the data they have entered via the app over the Internet and thus make the data set available to other users in the group for viewing or further processing. This function requires prior voluntary, free registration (see Registration). During registration and synchronization, personal data (e.g., user name, email address, names, and scores, etc.) is also transferred and stored in a database. Although this feature significantly expands the functionality of the apps concerned, it is by no means necessary for normal use of the app. If data records are no longer used or need to be deleted for other reasons, a short message is sufficient. Please note, however, that (even accidentally) deleted data records cannot be restored.
App permissions (applies only to the use of the apps)
The apps offered by MONKEY DISKO only ever require permissions that are necessary for the app to be used effectively. Registration or online data storage naturally requires access to the internet functionality of the end device. If you want to prevent data transmission via the internet, you can disable access via the system settings of your smartphone/tablet. However, this may mean that not all functions of the app can be used to their full extent. The apps also require access to the local device memory in order to store user settings, progress, etc. (see Local Data Storage). Apps such as Kegelbuddy delüx also require access to the media collection or camera function in order to personalize the app with your own photos, images, or graphics. All permissions requested and granted during the installation of the apps are used exclusively for the purpose described and obvious within the app.
Revocation, modification, deletion
MONKEY DISKO processes and stores users’ personal data only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage or if this has been provided for by the European directive and regulation legislator or another legislator in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject. If the storage purpose no longer applies or if a storage period prescribed by European directives and regulations or other competent legislators expires, the personal data will be routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with the statutory provisions.
In addition, the user has the right to request the modification, blocking, and deletion of their personal data, provided that this does not conflict with any legal retention obligations and provided that this is within the sphere of influence of the provider.
