The User, in particular Crowdartist, expressly confirms, authorizes and instructs the Provider to use and disclose all of its content, data and personal data transmitted and transferred to the Provider to such third party services, in particular which are connected within the scope of this Service and used by the Provider. Should the User, in particular Crowdartist have any questions in this regard or wish to receive further information, he expressly confirms that he has been explicitly informed about this possibility and that this information is transparently available via the contact to the Provider and that he will proactively contact the Provider in case of queries or ambiguities.
6.1 Formation of the contract
The contract for paid and pending services (according to 2.1) comes into effect with the successful completion of the publication of the graphic file (Crowdartist artwork) of the Crowdartist on the selected plot on the basis of these Terms of Use (GTC) as well as the upload conditions after successful booking, optional verification of the content/information by the provider and successful receipt of full payment (e.g. via Paypal, Metamask or the Etherium network). The provider is entitled at any time to object to the conclusion of the contract and to exclude individual users (especially crowdartists) from participation in the service without giving reasons - a claim for damages or claims of any kind of the user do not arise from this and the user holds the provider harmless from claims of any kind. The User's attention is explicitly drawn once again to the clear artistic and experiemental action-artistic nature of the Service.
6.2 Term and termination of the contract
The contract has a term of 3 years and ends automatically.
The User, in particular the Crowdartist entitles and transfers to the Provider free of charge all necessary exclusive and non-exclusive rights to continue to use, utilize, fully utilize, publish, monetize, store, process his Crowdartist artwork as well as attached data even after the end of the contract for an indefinite period of time - The User, in particular the Crowdartist also grants this authorization for all further services or offers of the Provider for an indefinite period of time. The extraordinary right of termination of both sides for legal reasons remain unaffected. With termination of the service, the contract and/or termination, all rights and claims of the User and Crowdartist expire.
6.3 Special Feature in the context of the use of decentralized networks
The User, in particular the Crowdartist, with the use or with the conclusion of the contract and thus the participation in the experimental art project "TheKingsNFT", expressly agrees to an optional publication, transmission, further processing and storage, etc. of his artwork (Crowdartist artwork) in decentralized networks (e.g. Ethereum-blockchain), as NFT (none-fungible-token) or similar technologies, authorizes the Provider for this purpose and transfers to the Provider for this purpose free of charge all necessary and exclusive rights, excluding all claims.
The User expressly confirms his consent and authorization and is fully aware that the deletion or adaptation of his content, his data or data in general of files published in decentralized networks, is not or cannot be possible or impose an unreasonable effort on the Provider. Thus, the Provider is not able to remove, adapt, change or delete these publications, in particular the Crowdartist artwork and pending data, in decentralized networks even after the end of the contract or in case of termination of the contract. The User, in particular the Crowdartist, confirms that he/she has understood this and that he/she instructs the Provider to do so, indemnifies the Provider from all claims on his/her part and on the part of third parties and bears and accepts this risk of his/her own free will. The User hereby releases the Provider from all claims.
6.4 Waiver of the right of return and the right of revocation
The offer, the art project or the service "TheKingsNFT" includes services whose price depends on fluctuations of the crypto value Ethereum (exchange index on www.coinmarketcap.com), on which the Provider has no influence and which may occur within the revocation period or will at the present discretion. For this reason, as well as other natural reasons arising from the nature of the service, there is no right of withdrawal of the consumer due to statutory exemption provision (§ 312g para. 2 No. 8 BGB, German law), even for distance contracts with consumers. The order of the user (in particular Crowdartist) therefore becomes binding immediately by successful upload of the Crowdartist artwork and can no longer be revoked by the user/Crowdartist.
The User/Crowdartist here expressly agrees and authorizes the Provider to immediately execute the Service or functions.
The user/crowdartist expressly agrees that the provider begins with the execution of the contract before the expiration of the revocation period and understands and expressly confirms that he loses his right of revocation by his consent with the beginning of the execution of the contract by the provider! Should it nevertheless come to a justified claim for return, the user explicitly agrees as a precaution and explicitly authorizes the provider that the latter can carry out the refund of the price / the paid amount or the claim at its own and free discretion either in EURO (€) or in the crypto value Ethereum (1ETH, ethereum.org). For the transfer or transmission, the User must immediately provide the Provider with his/her own/personal bank details or the Ethereum wallet recipient address in writing by mail, stating his/her complete personal data and address. From the receipt of this data from the user/crowdartist, the provider has 40 days to check the refund claim and then implement the refund claim by means of transfer/transfer.
By clicking on the "Buy now (charges apply)"-button during "checkout" after creation of the plot and proceeding with the participation, the "Crowdartist" understand and explicitly confirms, that he aggree to the early fulfillment of this particular transaction - Thus, the Crowdartist forgo explicitly my right of withdrawal of the contract under section 11 FAGG. The Crowdartist explicitly request and agree that the commissioned service be commenced before the expiry of the withdrawal period.The Crowdartist explicitly knows that his/her right of withdrawal expires upon complete fulfillment of the contract and that, in the event that the services to be provided have not yet been fully performed at the time of withdrawal, he/she must pay an appropriate amount corresponding to the proportion of the services already provided up to the time of the provider's notification of the exercise of the right of withdrawal in comparison to the total scope of the services provided for in the contract.

There is no claim to the use of a specific means of payment on the part of the user, in particular the crowdartist. In this case, a separate and independent registration of the User, in particular Crowdartists with METAMASK (www.metamask.io or corresponding additional programs or app applications) is required. The respective current external terms and conditions and terms of use of the provider / service / offer METAMASK (www.metamask.io) apply. The user, in particular Crowdartists agrees with selection of this payment method and gives the provider the express right in the context of the use of this payment method / offer third party as well as execution of the payment necessary data, including personal data, etc. to this third-party payment provider to pass on and transmit.
The Provider explicitly points out to the User, in particular Crowdartist, and the User, in particular Crowdartist explicitly agrees that depending on the selected payment method/technology, an assignment of receivables in favor of a third party payment provider takes place.
The Provider is entitled at any time to freely choose, change or terminate offered payment methods (e.g. in EURO, other currencies or Ethereum or other cryptocurrencies) without giving reasons or prior information to the User (Crowdartist) or consent by the User (Crowdartist).
7.2 Due dates / time of payment
All payments are due upon completion of the order as well as one-time upload of the Crowdartist artwork on the respective "plot" uploaded by the User (Crowdartist) and are immediately due for payment and the payment process is carried out according to these terms. For both payment methods according to 7.1 a) and b), your Paypal account, credit card, bank account or corresponding wallet (Ethereum) will be debited immediately and the amount will be credited to the provider according to the payment provider/type.
7.3 Fees
The user, in particular Crowdartist is explicitly informed that with the use of the payment methods offered in 7.2. further fees may be incurred by third party providers, bank charges or other fees. Here, the user, especially Crowdartist explicitly agrees to bear these themselves and indemnifies the provider from all costs, claims or fees. Details on fees according to the selected payment method can be found at www.metamask.io, ethereum.org, etherscan.io, paypal.com and your respective bank or credit card provider.
The User/Crowdartist expressly acknowledges and agrees that he/she shall pay and bear in full all fees and other costs for the use of the respective selected payment method (of the respective external payment provider) according to its payment terms and prices (e.g. paypal, metamask, bank fees, credit card fees, etc.). The User/Crowdartist hereby indemnifies the Provider against all third party claims and ensures that the full price/amount is received by the Provider according to the pricing of the service or product on "thekingsnft.art" or price information by the provider.
7.4 Payments & special note on payment with Ethereum.
For the participation or use of the service as a crowdartist and thus the commissioning of the provider with the services and services according to point 2, etc., the price according to the information on the website or in the offer or in the payment process in Ethereum (1 ETH, ethereum.org) is agreed between the crowdartist/user and the provider. The User, in particular the Crowdartist, hereby expressly agrees to this special payment method within the framework of the artistic claim and basis of the digital and experimental action art project "TheKingsNFT" (www.thekingsnft.art).
The provider reserves the right to offer additional payment methods or to change or remove existing offers at any time.
The amount to be paid may be subject to massive fluctuations in value in relation to its own country-specific currency (see details e.g.: at coinmarketcap.com, etherscan.io). The value of this amount to be paid depends on the current "exchange rate" or current circulating value of the crypto value "Ethereum" as well as the selected payment method of the user. In the case of payments, external fees or further costs of these third-party offers or networks may occur within the scope of the use of the respective payment system (third-party provider, paypal, decentralized networks, metamask, exchanges), which the User/Crowdartist must bear entirely himself. The User/Crowdartist indemnifies the Provider from all claims, in particular claims for compensation in the use of external offers or networks in the processing of the payment.
If a payment settlement is based on a conversion between crypto values (e.g. Ethereum) and real currency (e.g. EURO), the User/Crowdartist expressly authorizes the Provider to calculate the price to the best of his knowledge and belief according to the current available exchange rate of one Ethereum to € in an automated manner via common online platforms and to use the payment value calculated in this way in the payment settlement.
The provider again points out that the use as well as in particular the "payment" with crypto values, currencies or coins is subject to extreme volatilities and further massive risks. The User/Crowdartist is fully aware of this risk and consciously and fully assumes this risk.
The Provider is entitled to change or adjust the price/amount for chargeable services at any time without prior notice or indication of reasons - the publication on the website of the offer is sufficient here.
Among other things, based on international money laundering laws as well as the internal compliance obligation of the provider, each user, in particular Crowdartist is only allowed to purchase spaces, which in total value and according to the current daily exchange rate do not exceed a total value of € 8000 (EUR).
According to the provisions from these GTC for customers, the (partial) refund of an online payment is only possible if the order cannot be delivered (in full). The refund is always made to the account or by means of the payment method from which the payment was made.
The user (all user groups) expressly confirms that no payments from US bank accounts or values related to or originating from US bank accounts or values will be transmitted and used for payment.
7.5
The user (participating Crowdartist) expressly understands and confirms
that all participation fees (costs) apply only to the one-time upload
function (paid service) of his own participating digital artwork. In
the event that the uploaded file does not comply with the "Upload Terms
and Conditions" or these GTC according to all of the Provider's
assessment and evaluation, the participation fees (costs) will not be
refunded to the User (Participating Crowdartist), as the service is
fully fulfilled by the Provider through the upload. By participating,
the user (participating crowdartist) confirms this explicitly and
explicitly and releases the provider from all claims on his part.
Should the Provider in any case nevertheless be forced to refund the
participation fee (e.g. Ethereum, FIAT currency, Euro, Dollar, etc.),
the User (Participating Crowdartist) shall bear all associated costs or
fees of such refund. This applies in particular, but not exclusively,
to the recovery of paid Ethereum - in which case the Provider will
provide the User (Participating Crowdartist) with a collection solution
to recover its refundable Ethereum - in which case the User
(Participating Crowdartist) will have to pay and bear all possible fees
(gas fees, etc.) at its own expense. The User (Participating
Crowdartist) expressly acknowledges that the Provider is free to choose
the form of refund at its sole discretion - this means either in
Ethereum or in Euro currency or any other FIAT currency to the payment
details (paypal or wallet) provided by the Customer during the order
process. Please also consider all terms & conditions set out in § 6 of
this GTC.
7.6
As part of the artistic nature of the service, the price for a plot
varies, as it corresponds to the current daily price of the digital
asset Ethereum (ETH) used by the provider. The real price in FIAT (e.g.
euro, dollar, etc.) thus varies regularly and is subject to sometimes
severe fluctuations. The price is deemed to be the information provided
as part of the participation process / order process on the provider's
website. The user / crowdartist explicitly agrees here and clearly
recognizes these fluctuations and discrepancies.
7.7
The User/Crowdartist expressly entitles the Provider and expressly
agrees that the Provider may, without notification or prior notice,

of this service "TheKingsNFT" and related services (e.g. upload
possibility, etc.) and an inequality may arise here - in this context

and expressly agrees to this fact. Different prices occur for example
in the context of the explicit artistic property of the digital action
art project and different internal organisational processes of the
provider.

DATA PROTECTION CONDITIONS / PRIVACY POLICY (DATENSCHUTZBEDINGUNGEN) - EU GDRP
Last update: 04/04/2022
Version: 1.00
If you have questions about this DATA PROTECTION CONDITIONS, please contact us at any time: Lupgb[rxJizvaJcyNHJyCGdOeNnsbPkr@tqhXIejGkOgTinIgKgdsIsWnbMPwrftZA.`au^rmSOtRQeqC
We are very delighted that you have shown interest in our enterprise. Data protection is of a particularly high priority for the management of the KICKNODE GmbH (provider, see imprint). The use of the Internet pages of the KICKNODE GmbH is possible without any indication of personal data; however, if a data subject wants to use special enterprise services via our website, processing of personal data could become necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no statutory basis for such processing, we generally obtain consent from the data subject.
The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, e-mail address, or telephone number of a data subject shall always be in line with the General Data Protection Regulation (EU - GDPR), and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to the KICKNODE GmbH. By means of this data protection declaration, our enterprise would like to inform the general public of the nature, scope, and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process. Furthermore, data subjects are informed, by means of this data protection declaration, of the rights to which they are entitled.
As the controller, the KICKNODE GmbH has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection of personal data processed through this website. However, Internet-based data transmissions may in principle have security gaps, so absolute protection may not be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transfer personal data to us via alternative means, e.g. by telephone.
The data protection declaration of the KICKNODE GmbH is based on the terms used by the European legislator for the adoption of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our data protection declaration should be legible and understandable for the general public, as well as our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to first explain the terminology used. In this data protection declaration, we use, inter alia, the following terms:
a) Personal data
Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (“data subject”). An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.
b) Data subject
Data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person, whose personal data is processed by the controller responsible for the processing.
c) Processing
Processing is any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organisation, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.
d) Restriction of processing
Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting their processing in the future.
e) Profiling
Profiling means any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyse or predict aspects concerning that natural person's performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, location or movements.
f) Pseudonymisation
Pseudonymisation is the processing of personal data in such a manner that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organisational measures to ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.
g) Controller or controller responsible for the processing
Controller or controller responsible for the processing is the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data; where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union or Member State law, the controller or the specific criteria for its nomination may be provided for by Union or Member State law.
h) Processor
Processor is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.
i) Recipient
Recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or another body, to which the personal data are disclosed, whether a third party or not. However, public authorities which may receive personal data in the framework of a particular inquiry in accordance with Union or Member State law shall not be regarded as recipients; the processing of those data by those public authorities shall be in compliance with the applicable data protection rules according to the purposes of the processing.
j) Third party
Third party is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or body other than the data subject, controller, processor and persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or processor, are authorised to process personal data.
k) Consent
Consent of the data subject is any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject's wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her.
Controller for the purposes of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), other data protection laws applicable in Member states of the European Union and other provisions related to data protection is:

The Internet pages of the KICKNODE GmbH use cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored in a computer system via an Internet browser.
Many Internet sites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a character string through which Internet pages and servers can be assigned to the specific Internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This allows visited Internet sites and servers to differentiate the individual browser of the data subject from other Internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific Internet browser can be recognized and identified using the unique cookie ID.
Through the use of cookies, the KICKNODE GmbH can provide the users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the cookie setting.
By means of a cookie, the information and offers on our website can be optimized with the user in mind. Cookies allow us, as previously mentioned, to recognize our website users. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to utilize our website. The website user that uses cookies, e.g. does not have to enter access data each time the website is accessed, because this is taken over by the website, and the cookie is thus stored on the user's computer system. Another example is the cookie of a shopping cart in an online shop. The online store remembers the articles that a customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart via a cookie.
The data subject may, at any time, prevent the setting of cookies through our website by means of a corresponding setting of the Internet browser used, and may thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. Furthermore, already set cookies may be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all popular Internet browsers. If the data subject deactivates the setting of cookies in the Internet browser used, not all functions of our website may be entirely usable.
The website of the KICKNODE GmbH collects a series of general data and information when a data subject or automated system calls up the website. This general data and information are stored in the server log files. Collected may be (1) the browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrers), (4) the sub-websites, (5) the date and time of access to the Internet site, (6) an Internet protocol address (IP address), (7) the Internet service provider of the accessing system, and (8) any other similar data and information that may be used in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.
When using these general data and information, the KICKNODE GmbH does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is needed to (1) deliver the content of our website correctly, (2) optimize the content of our website as well as its advertisement, (3) ensure the long-term viability of our information technology systems and website technology, and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for criminal prosecution in case of a cyber-attack. Therefore, the KICKNODE GmbH analyzes anonymously collected data and information statistically, with the aim of increasing the data protection and data security of our enterprise, and to ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.
As part of the Kicknode GmbH (provider) commissions and places advertising on social media such as Meta (facebook), Instagram, etc.. The current data protection conditions of these third party providers apply, whereby the user explicitly agrees to the conditions and regulations of Meta (facebook), instagram, twitter, paypal, metamask and google (including all its single or affiliate services). In the context of the explicit artistic property of the digital action art project "theKingsNFT", the artistic action reach and digital publicity is linked to the use of "Facebook Pixel" ("Meta Pixel") by the Provider as part of the artistic work and property - The User explicitly acknowledges this artistic connection and indemnifies the Provider from all claims of his and third parties. An exclusion of the use of "Facebook Pixel" ("Meta Pixel")is not possible from the basis of this special share in the artistic action by the user, since this is part of the artistic property - the user explicitly agrees to this. In order to be able to place such advertisements in an adequate framework, Kicknode GmbH (Provider) uses "Facebook Pixel" ("Meta Pixel") on this offer / internet pages to measure, optimize and build target groups for advertising campaigns. "Facebook Pixel" ("meta pixel") does not collect anonymous or pseudonymous, but personal data of the User. If users click on an advertisement and land on this offer / Internet pages of the provider, Facebook Pixel ("meta pixel") records an exact picture of the user's behaviour. In the process, a cookie collects the data and links it to the user profile. These recovered and collected data of the user are transmitted to Facebook / Meta. The user fully and explicitly consents to this transfer and use of his data in connection with the use of "Facebook Pixel" ("Meta Pixel") and all its functions and purposes. By using the Service, Products or these website of the Provider, the User explicitly consents to the use and all the functions of "Facebook Pixel" ("meta pixel"), if the USer does not agree to this, he/she must immediately leave the Service, Products or these Websites of the Provider and cannot use them - he/she can withdraw this consent according to the Privacy Policy and Privacy Terms of "Facebook Pixel" ("meta pixel").
The data subject has the possibility to register on the website of the controller with the indication of personal data. Which personal data are transmitted to the controller is determined by the respective input mask used for the registration. The personal data entered by the data subject are collected and stored exclusively for internal use by the controller, and for his own purposes. The controller may request transfer to one or more processors (e.g. a parcel service) that also uses personal data for an internal purpose which is attributable to the controller.
By registering on the website of the controller, the IP address—assigned by the Internet service provider (ISP) and used by the data subject—date, and time of the registration are also stored. The storage of this data takes place against the background that this is the only way to prevent the misuse of our services, and, if necessary, to make it possible to investigate committed offenses. Insofar, the storage of this data is necessary to secure the controller. This data is not passed on to third parties unless there is a statutory obligation to pass on the data, or if the transfer serves the aim of criminal prosecution.
The registration of the data subject, with the voluntary indication of personal data, is intended to enable the controller to offer the data subject contents or services that may only be offered to registered users due to the nature of the matter in question. Registered persons are free to change the personal data specified during the registration at any time, or to have them completely deleted from the data stock of the controller.
The data controller shall, at any time, provide information upon request to each data subject as to what personal data are stored about the data subject. In addition, the data controller shall correct or erase personal data at the request or indication of the data subject, insofar as there are no statutory storage obligations. The entirety of the controller’s employees are available to the data subject in this respect as contact persons.
On the website of the KICKNODE GmbH, users are given the opportunity to subscribe to our enterprise's newsletter. The input mask used for this purpose determines what personal data are transmitted, as well as when the newsletter is ordered from the controller.
The KICKNODE GmbH informs its customers and business partners regularly by means of a newsletter about enterprise offers. The enterprise's newsletter may only be received by the data subject if (1) the data subject has a valid e-mail address and (2) the data subject registers for the newsletter shipping. A confirmation e-mail will be sent to the e-mail address registered by a data subject for the first time for newsletter shipping, for legal reasons, in the double opt-in procedure. This confirmation e-mail is used to prove whether the owner of the e-mail address as the data subject is authorized to receive the newsletter.
During the registration for the newsletter, we also store the IP address of the computer system assigned by the Internet service provider (ISP) and used by the data subject at the time of the registration, as well as the date and time of the registration. The collection of this data is necessary in order to understand the (possible) misuse of the e-mail address of a data subject at a later date, and it therefore serves the aim of the legal protection of the controller.
The personal data collected as part of a registration for the newsletter will only be used to send our newsletter. In addition, subscribers to the newsletter may be informed by e-mail, as long as this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or a registration in question, as this could be the case in the event of modifications to the newsletter offer, or in the event of a change in technical circumstances. There will be no transfer of personal data collected by the newsletter service to third parties. The subscription to our newsletter may be terminated by the data subject at any time. The consent to the storage of personal data, which the data subject has given for shipping the newsletter, may be revoked at any time. For the purpose of revocation of consent, a corresponding link is found in each newsletter. It is also possible to unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time directly on the website of the controller, or to communicate this to the controller in a different way.
The newsletter of the KICKNODE GmbH contains so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic embedded in such e-mails, which are sent in HTML format to enable log file recording and analysis. This allows a statistical analysis of the success or failure of online marketing campaigns. Based on the embedded tracking pixel, the KICKNODE GmbH may see if and when an e-mail was opened by a data subject, and which links in the e-mail were called up by data subjects.
Such personal data collected in the tracking pixels contained in the newsletters are stored and analyzed by the controller in order to optimize the shipping of the newsletter, as well as to adapt the content of future newsletters even better to the interests of the data subject. These personal data will not be passed on to third parties. Data subjects are at any time entitled to revoke the respective separate declaration of consent issued by means of the double-opt-in procedure. After a revocation, these personal data will be deleted by the controller. The KICKNODE GmbH automatically regards a withdrawal from the receipt of the newsletter as a revocation.
The website of the KICKNODE GmbH contains information that enables a quick electronic contact to our enterprise, as well as direct communication with us, which also includes a general address of the so-called electronic mail (e-mail address). If a data subject contacts the controller by e-mail or via a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject are automatically stored. Such personal data transmitted on a voluntary basis by a data subject to the data controller are stored for the purpose of processing or contacting the data subject. There is no transfer of this personal data to third parties.
The KICKNODE GmbH offers users the possibility to leave individual comments on individual blog contributions on a blog, which is on the website of the controller. A blog is a web-based, publicly-accessible portal, through which one or more people called bloggers or web-bloggers may post articles or write down thoughts in so-called blogposts. Blogposts may usually be commented by third parties.
If a data subject leaves a comment on the blog published on this website, the comments made by the data subject are also stored and published, as well as information on the date of the commentary and on the user's (pseudonym) chosen by the data subject. In addition, the IP address assigned by the Internet service provider (ISP) to the data subject is also logged. This storage of the IP address takes place for security reasons, and in case the data subject violates the rights of third parties, or posts illegal content through a given comment. The storage of these personal data is, therefore, in the own interest of the data controller, so that he can exculpate in the event of an infringement. This collected personal data will not be passed to third parties, unless such a transfer is required by law or serves the aim of the defense of the data controller.
The data controller shall process and store the personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage, or as far as this is granted by the European legislator or other legislators in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject to.
If the storage purpose is not applicable, or if a storage period prescribed by the European legislator or another competent legislator expires, the personal data are routinely blocked or erased in accordance with legal requirements.
a) Right of confirmation
Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller the confirmation as to whether or not personal data concerning him or her are being processed. If a data subject wishes to avail himself of this right of confirmation, he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of the controller.
b) Right of access
Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller free information about his or her personal data stored at any time and a copy of this information. Furthermore, the European directives and regulations grant the data subject access to the following information:

- the categories of personal data concerned;
- the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data have been or will be disclosed, in particular recipients in third countries or international organization’s;
- where possible, the envisaged period for which the personal data will be stored, or, if not possible, the criteria used to determine that period;

Furthermore, the data subject shall have a right to obtain information as to whether personal data are transferred to a third country or to an international organization. Where this is the case, the data subject shall have the right to be informed of the appropriate safeguards relating to the transfer.
If a data subject wishes to avail himself of this right of access, he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of the controller.
c) Right to rectification
Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller without undue delay the rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning him or her. Taking into account the purposes of the processing, the data subject shall have the right to have incomplete personal data completed, including by means of providing a supplementary statement.
If a data subject wishes to exercise this right to rectification, he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of the controller.
d) Right to erasure (Right to be forgotten)
Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller the erasure of personal data concerning him or her without undue delay, and the controller shall have the obligation to erase personal data without undue delay where one of the following grounds applies, as long as the processing is not necessary:
- The personal data are no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.

If one of the aforementioned reasons applies, and a data subject wishes to request the erasure of personal data stored by the KICKNODE GmbH, he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of the controller. An employee of KICKNODE GmbH shall promptly ensure that the erasure request is complied with immediately.
Where the controller has made personal data public and is obliged pursuant to Article 17(1) to erase the personal data, the controller, taking account of available technology and the cost of implementation, shall take reasonable steps, including technical measures, to inform other controllers processing the personal data that the data subject has requested erasure by such controllers of any links to, or copy or replication of, those personal data, as far as processing is not required. An employee of the KICKNODE GmbH will arrange the necessary measures in individual cases.
e) Right of restriction of processing
Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller restriction of processing where one of the following applies:
- The accuracy of the personal data is contested by the data subject, for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data.
- The processing is unlawful and the data subject opposes the erasure of the personal data and requests instead the restriction of their use instead.
- The controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but they are required by the data subject for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.
- The data subject has objected to processing pursuant to Article 21(1) of the GDPR pending the verification whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override those of the data subject.
If one of the aforementioned conditions is met, and a data subject wishes to request the restriction of the processing of personal data stored by the KICKNODE GmbH, he or she may at any time contact any employee of the controller. The employee of the KICKNODE GmbH will arrange the restriction of the processing.
f) Right to data portability
Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator, to receive the personal data concerning him or her, which was provided to a controller, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. He or she shall have the right to transmit those data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to which the personal data have been provided, as long as the processing is based on consent pursuant to point (a) of Article 6(1) of the GDPR or point (a) of Article 9(2) of the GDPR, or on a contract pursuant to point (b) of Article 6(1) of the GDPR, and the processing is carried out by automated means, as long as the processing is not necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.
Furthermore, in exercising his or her right to data portability pursuant to Article 20(1) of the GDPR, the data subject shall have the right to have personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible and when doing so does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.
In order to assert the right to data portability, the data subject may at any time contact any employee of the KICKNODE GmbH.
g) Right to object
Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator to object, on grounds relating to his or her particular situation, at any time, to processing of personal data concerning him or her, which is based on point (e) or (f) of Article 6(1) of the GDPR. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions.
The KICKNODE GmbH shall no longer process the personal data in the event of the objection, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.
If the KICKNODE GmbH processes personal data for direct marketing purposes, the data subject shall have the right to object at any time to processing of personal data concerning him or her for such marketing. This applies to profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing. If the data subject objects to the KICKNODE GmbH to the processing for direct marketing purposes, the KICKNODE GmbH will no longer process the personal data for these purposes.
In addition, the data subject has the right, on grounds relating to his or her particular situation, to object to processing of personal data concerning him or her by the KICKNODE GmbH for scientific or historical research purposes, or for statistical purposes pursuant to Article 89(1) of the GDPR, unless the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out for reasons of public interest.
In order to exercise the right to object, the data subject may contact any employee of the KICKNODE GmbH. In addition, the data subject is free in the context of the use of information society services, and notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, to use his or her right to object by automated means using technical specifications.
h) Automated individual decision-making, including profiling
Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning him or her, or similarly significantly affects him or her, as long as the decision (1) is not is necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract between the data subject and a data controller, or (2) is not authorized by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard the data subject's rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, or (3) is not based on the data subject's explicit consent.
If the decision (1) is necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract between the data subject and a data controller, or (2) it is based on the data subject's explicit consent, the KICKNODE GmbH shall implement suitable measures to safeguard the data subject's rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express his or her point of view and contest the decision.
If the data subject wishes to exercise the rights concerning automated individual decision-making, he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of the KICKNODE GmbH.
i) Right to withdraw data protection consent
Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator to withdraw his or her consent to processing of his or her personal data at any time.
If the data subject wishes to exercise the right to withdraw the consent, he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of the KICKNODE GmbH.
The data controller shall collect and process the personal data of applicants for the purpose of the processing of the application procedure. The processing may also be carried out electronically. This is the case, in particular, if an applicant submits corresponding application documents by e-mail or by means of a web form on the website to the controller. If the data controller concludes an employment contract with an applicant, the submitted data will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in compliance with legal requirements. If no employment contract is concluded with the applicant by the controller, the application documents shall be automatically erased two months after notification of the refusal decision, provided that no other legitimate interests of the controller are opposed to the erasure. Other legitimate interest in this relation is, e.g. a burden of proof in a procedure under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).
Art. 6(1) lit. a GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing operations for 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 party, as is the case, for example, when processing operations are necessary for the supply of goods or to provide any other service, the processing is based on Article 6(1) lit. b GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations which are necessary for carrying out pre-contractual measures, for example in the case of inquiries concerning our products or services. Is our company subject to a legal obligation by which processing of personal data is required, such as for the fulfillment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6(1) lit. c GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were injured in our company and his name, age, health insurance data or other vital information would have to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. Then the processing would be based on Art. 6(1) lit. d GDPR. Finally, processing operations could be based on Article 6(1) lit. f GDPR. This legal basis is used for processing operations which are not covered by any of the abovementioned legal grounds, if processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data. Such processing operations are particularly permissible because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. He considered that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a client of the controller (Recital 47 Sentence 2 GDPR).
Where the processing of personal data is based on Article 6(1) lit. f GDPR our legitimate interest is to carry out our business in favor of the well-being of all our employees and the shareholders.
The criteria used to determine the period of storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After expiration of that period, the corresponding data is routinely deleted, as long as it is no longer necessary for the fulfillment of the contract or the initiation of a contract.
As a responsible company, we do not use automatic decision-making or profiling.
