Welcome to CuriousCode Technologies and our website at www.curiouscodetech.com (our “website”). At CuriousCode Technologies, we are committed to protecting and respecting your privacy.
This Privacy Policy sets out the basis on which we will process any Personal Data that we may collect about you as a visitor to our website or our customers or potential customers, or other business partners, or in any other cases where we specifically state that this policy will apply. This policy further sets out how we protect your privacy and your rights in respect of our use of your Personal Data.
Personal Data is information that makes it possible to identify a natural person. This includes, in particular, your name, date of birth, address, telephone number, and email address, but also your IP address. Anonymous data exists if no personal reference to the user can be made.
“Processing” means and covers virtually any handling of data.
We will only use your Personal Data in accordance with Germany’s Data Protection Act Bundesdatenschutzgesetz (“BDSG”) and the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), and only as described in this Privacy Policy.
A “data controller” is a person or organization who alone or jointly determines the purposes for which, and the manner in which, any personal data is, or is likely to be, processed. In this sense, CuriousCode Technologies GmbH, Schwelmer Straße 22, 40235 Düsseldorf, Germany (“CuriousCode Technologies”, “we”, “us”, “our”) is the data controller.
If you have any questions about this policy or about data protection at CuriousCode Technologies in general, you can reach us by email using contact@curiouscodetech.com with “Data Protection” in the subject line.
In accordance with the above, we have to have at least one of the following legal bases to process your Personal Data: a) you have given your consent, b) the data is necessary for the fulfillment of a contract / pre-contractual measures, c) the data is necessary for the fulfillment of a legal obligation, or d) the data is necessary to protect our legitimate interests, provided that your interests are not overridden.
We may collect and process the following Personal Data about you:
This is information about you that you give to us and in context of our services, mainly when you correspond with us or when you fill in forms on our website or when you register for an account. In this sense, the Personal Data processed by us typically includes, for example, your name, address, email address, and telephone number and email address and password in the case of a user account. The legal basis for processing is our legitimate interest, the provision or initiation of a contract, and your consent.
We process the Personal Data involved in your use of our services in order to be able to provide our contractual services. This includes, in particular, our support, correspondence with you, invoicing, and fulfillment of our contractual, accounting, and tax obligations. The data processed includes the master data of our contractual partners (e.g., names and addresses), contact data (e.g., e-mail addresses and telephone numbers), as well as contractual data (e.g., services used, contents of the contract, contractual communication, names of contact persons). Accordingly, the data is processed on the basis of fulfilling our contractual obligations and our legal obligations.
If you apply for a role or job, we process the information we receive from you as part of the application process. In addition to your contact details, information about your education, qualifications, work experience, and skills is particularly relevant to us. Your data will initially be processed solely for the purpose of carrying out the application process. The legal basis for processing data during the application process is the initiation of a contract, and, if you have given your consent, for example, by sending us information that is not necessary for the application process, it is consent. The legal basis for data processing after a rejection is our legitimate interest. We ask you not to provide us with any special categories of Personal Data from the outset. If such information is relevant to the application process, we process it together with your other data. Your data will not be used by us for automated decision-making or profiling, nor will it be passed on to third parties. Your data will be processed by us or on our behalf.
Within our website, we may display certain Personal Data, share certain details, knowledge, and insights in the form of testimonials. When you approve and submit your testimonial to us your consent is obtained, and you have choices about the information in your testimonial. The storage of testimonials is based on your consent.

If you visit our website, it will automatically collect some information about you and your visit, including the Internet protocol (IP) address used to connect your device to the Internet and some other information, such as the pages on our site that you visit.

We use the hosting services of Hostinger International, Ltd, (61 Lordou Vironos str., 6023 Larnaca, Cyprus), for the purpose of hosting and displaying our website. Hostinger does so on the basis of processing on our behalf, and that also means that all data collected on our website and shop is processed on Hostinger’s servers.The basis for processing is our legitimate interest and the initiation and/or fulfillment of a contract.
We have integrated components from YouTube (Google (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, US, and Google Ireland Limited Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland)). The integration requires that YouTube can perceive the IP address of the user. The IP address is required in order to send the video content to the user’s browser. If you click on a YouTube component (video) on our website, your internet browser will be prompted by the component to download a corresponding representation of the component. In this way, YouTube knows which specific sub-pages you have visited. The legal basis for the data processing is our legitimate interest and your consent.
Lastly, for business reasons, we analyze the data we have on web and server traffic patterns, website interactions, browsing behavior, etc. The analyses serve us alone and are not disclosed externally and processed using anonymous analyses with summarized and/or anonymized values (“Aggregated Data”). Aggregated Data could be derived from your Personal Data but is not considered Personal Data in law as this data will not directly or indirectly reveal your identity. However, if we combine or connect Aggregated Data with your Personal Data so that it can directly or indirectly identify you, we treat the combined data as Personal Data which will be used in accordance with this Privacy Policy. For this purpose we use Google Analytics from Google. The legal basis is our legitimate interest and your consent. For further information, please refer to our Cookie Policy.

We will only process your Personal Data as necessary so that we can pursue the purposes described above and where we have a legal basis for such processing. Where our lawful basis for processing is that such processing is necessary to pursue our legitimate interests, we will only process your Personal Data where we have concluded that our processing does not prejudice you or your privacy in a way that would override our legitimate interest. In exceptional circumstances, we may also be required by law to disclose or otherwise process your Personal Data.

You have the right to complain about our processing of Personal Data to a supervisory authority responsible for data protection.

However, we would appreciate the opportunity to address your concerns before you contact the BfDI or the LDI NRW.
Databases or records containing Personal Data may be breached accidentally or through unlawful intrusion. As soon as we become aware of a data breach, we will notify all affected individuals whose Personal Data may have been compromised, and the notification will be accompanied by a description of the measures that will be taken to repair the damage caused by the data breach.
