Privacy Policy

mycashbacks GmbH ("mycashbacks," "we," "us," or "our") understands that the careful handling of your personal information is important to you. Protecting personal data is therefore one of our highest priorities. We respect every individual's right to informational self-determination and are fully committed to complying with the data protection laws applicable in Germany and the European Union.

This Privacy Policy is written in U.S. English for readability. It does not change the applicable legal framework: the processing described below is governed in particular by the General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR") and applicable German data protection law.

We process personal data, such as a person's name, mailing address, email address, or telephone number, in accordance with the GDPR and the country-specific data protection laws applicable to mycashbacks GmbH. Depending on the processing activity, the legal basis may include consent under Article 6(1)(a) GDPR, performance of a contract or steps taken before entering into a contract under Article 6(1)(b) GDPR, compliance with a legal obligation under Article 6(1)(c) GDPR, or our legitimate interests under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.

This Privacy Policy explains the nature, scope, and purposes of the personal data we collect, use, and otherwise process, as well as the rights available to data subjects. As controller, mycashbacks GmbH has implemented technical and organizational measures designed to protect personal data processed through our services. Internet-based data transmission may nevertheless involve security vulnerabilities, so absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. You may therefore provide personal data to us through alternative means, such as by telephone, where appropriate.

This Privacy Policy applies to all of our services and offerings, including our website at www.mycashbacks.com, our mobile apps for iOS and Android, and our browser extension (the mycashbacks Cashback Finder). Where a processing activity applies only to a particular offering, such as the mobile app, we identify that in the relevant section. References to the "website" or "webpage" also include our apps where the processing is carried out in the same manner.

1. Definitions

This Privacy Policy uses the terminology employed by the European legislator in the GDPR. In particular, "personal data," "processing," "controller," "processor," and "data subject" have the meanings assigned to them in Article 4 GDPR.

4. Cookies and Pixels

We use cookies to provide a broad range of functions and make our website easier to use. Cookies are small files stored on your device through your web browser. If you do not want cookies to be stored, you can adjust your browser settings accordingly. Please note that disabling cookies may limit the functionality and features of our services. Where consent is required for storing or accessing information on your device, we use the relevant technology only after obtaining your consent in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) of the German Telecommunications Digital Services Data Protection Act (Telekommunikation-Digitale-Dienste-Datenschutz-Gesetz, "TDDDG").

We and, where applicable, third parties may also use tracking pixels. Tracking pixels are small graphics embedded in webpages or messages that enable log-file recording and analysis and are frequently used for statistical evaluation. When you visit a page containing such a pixel, your browser may establish a direct connection with a server operated by us or the relevant third party. The server may receive information that the page was accessed from your device. If you are logged in to an account with that third party, the third party may be able to associate your visit with your account.

We may use pixels to determine whether an advertisement was successful and to measure advertising effectiveness for statistical and market-research purposes. The applicable legal basis depends on the specific technology and purpose. Where the technology is not strictly necessary, we obtain consent before using it. You may withdraw consent at any time with effect for the future through the available cookie or privacy settings.

5. Log Data: Collection of General Data and Information

Each time a person or automated system accesses our website, our systems may collect general data and information and store it in server log files. This information may include:

  1. browser type and version;

  2. the operating system used by the accessing device;

  3. the website from which the accessing system reached our website (the referrer);

  4. the subpages accessed on our website;

  5. the date and time of access;

  6. the Internet Protocol (IP) address; and

  7. similar data and information used to protect our information technology systems against attacks.

We do not use this general data to identify the data subject. We need it to:

  1. deliver our website content correctly;

  2. optimize our website content and advertising;

  3. maintain the long-term functionality of our information technology systems and website technology; and

  4. provide law-enforcement authorities with information necessary for prosecution in the event of a cyberattack, where legally required.

The legal basis for temporarily storing this data is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interests are the secure, reliable, and efficient operation of our website and the protection of our systems. Log-file data is deleted no later than seven days after collection unless longer retention is necessary to investigate a specific security incident or to comply with a legal obligation. Anonymous server-log data is stored separately from personal data submitted by a data subject.

6. Contacting Us Through the Website

Our website provides information that enables you to contact and communicate with us electronically, including by email. If you contact us by email or through a contact form, we store the personal data you voluntarily transmit for the purpose of handling your request and communicating with you. We do not disclose this data to third parties unless disclosure is necessary to process your request, required by law, or otherwise permitted under applicable data protection law.

We use the Contact Form 7 plugin to transmit data submitted through our contact form.

7. Routine Erasure and Restriction of Personal Data

We process and store personal data only for the period necessary to achieve the relevant purpose or for as long as retention is required by the European or national legislator in laws or regulations applicable to us. When the purpose no longer applies or a statutory retention period expires, the personal data is routinely restricted or erased in accordance with applicable law.

8. Google Analytics 4

We use Google Analytics 4, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland ("Google"). Google Analytics creates pseudonymous usage profiles and uses cookies or comparable technologies. Information generated about your use of our website may include the time of access, referrer URL, browser and operating-system information, device and interaction data, and an IP address used transiently to derive general location information. Google states that Google Analytics 4 does not log or store individual IP addresses.

We use Google Analytics only with your consent under Article 6(1)(a) GDPR in conjunction with Section 25(1) TDDDG. Google processes the information on our behalf to evaluate use of our website, compile reports on website activity, and provide other services relating to website and internet usage for market research and the needs-based design of our services. We have entered into a data processing agreement with Google under Article 28 GDPR.

Google Analytics retention settings determine how long user-level and event-level data is retained. Our configured retention period is two months. Aggregated reports may remain available after this period where they no longer permit identification of an individual user.

Data may be processed on servers in the United States. Where Google is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework ("DPF"), transfers to Google in the United States may be based on the European Commission's adequacy decision under Article 45 GDPR. Google also makes the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses available as a transfer safeguard where applicable.

You may withdraw or change your consent at any time with effect for the future through our cookie settings. Further information is available here:

9. Facebook and Meta

We have integrated components provided by Facebook and Meta into our website and, where indicated, our app. Facebook is a social media platform operated by Meta Platforms, Inc., 1 Meta Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, United States. For individuals residing outside the United States or Canada, Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland, is generally the responsible Meta entity.

9.1 Facebook Social Plugins

When a page containing a Facebook component is accessed, the component may cause your browser to download content from Facebook. Through this process, Facebook may learn which specific subpage of our website you visited. An overview of Facebook plugins is available in the Meta developer documentation.

If you are logged in to Facebook while visiting our website, Facebook may associate information about the pages you visit with your Facebook account for the duration of your visit. If you interact with a Facebook button or submit a comment, Facebook may assign that information to your account and store it. If you do not want Facebook to associate your visit with your account, log out of Facebook before visiting our website and consider adjusting your Meta privacy settings.

Our use of Facebook social components is based, where applicable, on your consent under Article 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TDDDG. To the extent a component is used without accessing nonessential information on your device, the processing may be based on our legitimate interest in the appropriate presentation and efficient operation of our services under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, provided that your interests, rights, and freedoms do not override that interest.

9.2 Meta Pixel and Meta SDK

We also use the Meta Pixel and, where applicable in our app, the Meta SDK. These technologies allow us to measure the effectiveness of advertisements on Meta platforms, particularly Facebook and Instagram, and to identify visitors to our website or users of our app as target audiences for advertising (Custom Audiences). Meta may determine whether and which actions you take after clicking an advertisement (conversion tracking).

For these purposes, pseudonymous identifiers, technical device information, and information about your interactions with our services may be processed and transmitted to Meta. Transfers to the United States may be safeguarded through the DPF where the recipient is certified.

The Meta Pixel and Meta SDK are used only on the basis of your consent under Article 6(1)(a) GDPR in conjunction with Section 25(1) TDDDG. On iOS devices, we also obtain permission through Apple's App Tracking Transparency framework where required (see Section 23.2). You may withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future through our cookie settings or your device tracking settings.

For more information, see Meta's Privacy Policy.

10. Affiliate Tracking Networks

We work with affiliate networks and partner programs to track referrals, attribute qualifying purchases, and process commission payments between merchants, affiliate networks, and mycashbacks. The following subsections identify the networks and operators listed in this Privacy Policy.

It may store a pseudonymous affiliate identifier, a reference number assigned to the website visit, and information identifying the advertising material or referral link clicked. The purpose is to attribute a transaction and facilitate commission processing. These identifiers may constitute personal data under the GDPR even if they do not directly identify you by name.

You may prevent or delete cookies through your browser or device settings. Doing so may prevent a purchase from being attributed to mycashbacks and may therefore prevent cashback from being tracked. Unless consent is required under Section 25 TDDDG or another applicable rule, the processing described in this section is based on our legitimate interest in operating, evaluating, and efficiently administering our affiliate and cashback services under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, provided that your interests, rights, and freedoms do not override that interest.

You may unsubscribe at any time by using the link at the end of each email or by emailing support@mycashbacks.com.

Withdrawal applies only to future processing and does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.

21.1 Newsletter Tracking

We evaluate newsletter performance using pseudonymous usage statistics. Emails may contain web beacons, tracking pixels, and tracked links associated with an individual identifier. These technologies may record when an email is opened or forwarded, which links are selected, the IP address used to estimate the location of access, and information about the email client.

We evaluate aggregated statistics such as delivery, open, click-through, forwarding, and bounce rates and the country of access. In the event of an unsubscribe request or failed delivery, we also receive the name and email address needed to remove the recipient or resolve the delivery issue.

Where tracking requires storing or accessing information on your device, it is carried out only with consent under Article 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TDDDG. Other pseudonymous evaluation that does not require consent may be based on our legitimate interest in measuring and improving our email marketing under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. You may withdraw consent or object to processing based on legitimate interests at any time with effect for the future.

adjoe may also process information about installed apps and usage events within newly installed game apps where necessary to provide the service, prevent fraud, and calculate compensation. mycashbacks receives only information relevant to compensation, such as the game name and compensation amount, and does not receive detailed information about the user's activity within individual apps.

22.6 Bank Transfer Payouts

This section does not apply to users in the United States because bank-transfer payouts are not available to users in the United States.

Where bank-transfer payouts are available and you select this option, we process the payment information required to execute the payout, including the account holder's name, IBAN, BIC where applicable, payout amount, and transaction reference. The legal basis is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR. Banks and payment-service providers involved in the transaction process data under their own legal obligations and privacy notices.

22.7 PayPal Payouts

You may choose to receive cashback through PayPal. We process the information required to execute the payout, in particular your name, the email address associated with your PayPal account, the payout amount, and transaction information, and initiate the payment through our PayPal account. The legal basis is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR.

The PayPal entity responsible for PayPal's own processing depends on the country in which your PayPal account is registered. For accounts in the European Economic Area, this is generally PayPal (Europe) S.à r.l. et Cie, S.C.A., 22-24 Boulevard Royal, L-2449 Luxembourg. U.S. PayPal accounts are generally provided by PayPal, Inc. For further information, see the U.S. PayPal Privacy Statement.

23. Data Processing in Our Mobile Apps (iOS and Android)

When you use our iOS or Android app, we process, in addition to the data described elsewhere in this Privacy Policy, certain information generated specifically in connection with app use.

The app is made available through the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. When you download the app, the relevant app-store operator processes information associated with the download and your store account. Apple or Google is responsible for that processing under its own privacy policy. Further information is available in Apple's Privacy Policy and Google's Privacy Policy.

23.1 Device Identifiers and Advertising IDs

Our app may process device identifiers and advertising identifiers associated with your device or app installation. On iOS, this includes the Identifier for Advertisers (IDFA); on Android, it includes the Google Advertising ID, also known as the Android Advertising ID or AAID. App-specific installation identifiers may also be used.

These identifiers allow us and our service providers to recognize app use without directly using your name. We use them to maintain app functionality and stability, analyze app use statistically, correctly attribute and settle cashback transactions, and prevent fraud.

On iOS, we access the IDFA only if you have granted permission through Apple's App Tracking Transparency dialog (see Section 23.2). On Android, you may reset the advertising ID or restrict its use in your system settings. Where consent is required, the legal basis is Article 6(1)(a) GDPR. Otherwise, processing may be based on Article 6(1)(b) GDPR where necessary to provide or attribute cashback, or on our legitimate interest in operating the app securely, reliably, and efficiently under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.

23.2 App Tracking Transparency on iOS

On Apple devices running iOS or iPadOS, we use Apple's App Tracking Transparency ("ATT") framework where required by Apple. Before we or a service provider accesses your device's IDFA or performs tracking across apps or websites owned by other companies, your device displays a system prompt allowing you to permit or decline tracking.

If you do not grant permission, we do not access the IDFA or perform the tracking covered by the ATT prompt. The legal basis for processing based on that permission is Article 6(1)(a) GDPR. You may change your choice at any time under Settings > Privacy & Security > Tracking, with effect for the future.

23.3 Push Notifications Through CleverPush

You may sign up to receive push notifications. We use CleverPush, operated by CleverPush GmbH, Valentinskamp 30, 20355 Hamburg, Germany ("CleverPush"). Our push notifications may contain information about new cashback offers, limited-time promotions and deals, cashback status, and news about our app and website.

To subscribe, you must confirm the notification request displayed by your browser or device. CleverPush documents the subscription and stores the time of registration and a push token or device ID. This information is used to send notifications and document the subscription. The legal basis is your consent under Article 6(1)(a) GDPR.

CleverPush may statistically analyze whether and when notifications were displayed and selected. We may also store the topics or interests to which you subscribed so that notifications can be tailored. Where this evaluation is not covered by consent, it is based on our legitimate interest in understanding and improving notification relevance under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.

You may withdraw consent at any time with effect for the future using the push-notification settings in your device or browser. You may also object to processing based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Withdrawal does not affect processing carried out before withdrawal. Subscription data is deleted when it is no longer needed and is generally retained for as long as your push subscription remains active.

To accelerate retrieval of general content, such as text and images, and protect against attacks, CleverPush uses services provided by Cloudflare, Inc. as a subprocessor. When your device retrieves this content, it connects to Cloudflare and the device IP address is processed. Transfers to the United States may be based on the DPF where the recipient is certified or another valid transfer mechanism under Chapter V GDPR.

We have entered into a data processing agreement with CleverPush under Article 28 GDPR. Further information is available on CleverPush's GDPR page.

23.4 Firebase (Google)

We use services from the Firebase platform in our app. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. We use Firebase in particular for:

  • Firebase Cloud Messaging, to technically deliver push notifications to your device;

  • Firebase Crashlytics, to collect and analyze crashes and stability issues so that we can identify and fix errors; and

  • Google Analytics for Firebase, to perform pseudonymous statistical analysis of app use and improve our services.

Technical and usage data may be processed, including a device or app-instance identifier, device type and operating-system version, app version, crash and diagnostic data, approximate location such as country, and information about interactions with the app. Information may be processed on Google servers, including servers in the United States. Transfers to the United States may be safeguarded by the DPF where Google is certified and, where applicable, the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses.

Where consent is required for analytics, diagnostics, advertising identifiers, or access to information on your device, we process the data only on the basis of Article 6(1)(a) GDPR and any required ATT permission. Processing required to deliver push notifications through Firebase Cloud Messaging is carried out in connection with your consent to receive push notifications. You may withdraw consent at any time with effect for the future.

We have entered into a data processing agreement with Google under Article 28 GDPR. Further information is available in the Firebase Privacy and Security documentation and the Google Privacy Policy.

23.5 App Permissions

To provide certain features, the app requests permissions on your device, including permission to send push notifications. If another permission is required, the app requests it in the relevant context and explains its purpose. You can review, change, or revoke granted permissions at any time in your device settings with effect for the future.

Depending on the feature, processing of data accessed through a permission is based on consent under Article 6(1)(a) GDPR, performance of a contract under Article 6(1)(b) GDPR, or our legitimate interest in providing the requested feature securely and reliably under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.

24. Retention Period for Personal Data

The applicable statutory retention period is one criterion for determining how long personal data is stored. After that period expires, the relevant data is routinely erased unless it remains necessary to perform or enter into a contract, comply with another legal obligation, or establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.

Where no specific statutory period applies, we retain personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, taking into account the nature and sensitivity of the data, the purposes of processing, and the potential risks to data subjects.

25. Legal or Contractual Requirements to Provide Personal Data

Providing personal data may be required by law, for example under tax rules, or by a contract. In some cases, we cannot enter into or perform a contract unless you provide the personal data required for that purpose. Failure to provide required data may therefore mean that the relevant contract or service cannot be concluded or provided.

Before you provide personal data, you may contact us to ask whether the information is required by law or contract, necessary to enter into a contract, or voluntary, and what consequences may result if it is not provided.

26. Rights of Data Subjects

If the GDPR applies to the processing of your personal data, you have the rights described below, subject to the statutory requirements and exceptions.

If personal data is transferred to a third country or an international organization, you also have the right to be informed of the appropriate safeguards relating to the transfer.

26.3 Right to Rectification

You have the right to request the prompt correction of inaccurate personal data concerning you. Taking into account the purposes of processing, you also have the right to have incomplete personal data completed, including by providing a supplementary statement.

26.4 Right to Erasure (Right to Be Forgotten)

You have the right to request the prompt erasure of personal data concerning you where one of the following grounds applies and processing is not otherwise necessary:

  • the data is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed;

If one of these grounds applies, you may ask us to erase personal data stored by mycashbacks GmbH. We will arrange for the request to be handled without undue delay, subject to the exceptions in Article 17(3) GDPR.

Where mycashbacks has made personal data public and is required to erase it under Article 17(1) GDPR, we will take reasonable steps, taking available technology and implementation costs into account, to inform other controllers processing the data that you requested erasure of links to, copies of, or replications of that personal data, to the extent required by Article 17(2) GDPR.

26.5 Right to Restriction of Processing

You have the right to request restriction of processing where one of the following conditions applies:

  • you contest the accuracy of the personal data, for the period necessary for us to verify its accuracy;

  • processing is unlawful and you oppose erasure and request restriction instead;

  • we no longer need the personal data for processing purposes, but you need it to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims; or

  • you have objected under Article 21(1) GDPR and verification is pending as to whether our legitimate grounds override yours.

If a condition applies, you may ask us to restrict the affected personal data.

26.6 Right to Data Portability

You have the right to receive personal data concerning you that you provided to a controller in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format and to transmit that data to another controller without hindrance where:

  • processing is based on consent under Article 6(1)(a) or Article 9(2)(a) GDPR, or on a contract under Article 6(1)(b) GDPR; and

  • processing is carried out by automated means.

When exercising this right, you may also have the data transmitted directly from one controller to another where technically feasible, provided that doing so does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others. This right does not apply to processing necessary to perform a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority.

26.7 Right to Object

You have the right, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to object at any time to processing of personal data concerning you based on Article 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR, including profiling based on those provisions.

If you object, we will no longer process the personal data unless we demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing is necessary to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.

Where personal data is processed for direct marketing, you have the right to object at any time to processing for that purpose, including related profiling. If you object to direct marketing, we will no longer process the personal data for that purpose.

You may also object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to processing for scientific or historical research or statistical purposes under Article 89(1) GDPR unless the processing is necessary to perform a task carried out for reasons of public interest. In connection with information-society services, you may exercise your right to object through automated means using technical specifications where available.

26.8 Automated Individual Decision-Making, Including Profiling

You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, that produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you, unless the decision:

  1. is necessary to enter into or perform a contract between you and the controller;

  2. is authorized by European Union or Member State law applicable to the controller and that law provides suitable safeguards for your rights, freedoms, and legitimate interests; or

  3. is based on your explicit consent.

Where a decision is necessary for a contract or based on explicit consent, mycashbacks will implement suitable measures to safeguard your rights, freedoms, and legitimate interests, including at least the right to obtain human intervention, express your point of view, and contest the decision.

26.9 Right to Withdraw Consent

You have the right to withdraw consent to the processing of personal data at any time. Withdrawal applies with effect for the future and does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.

26.10 Right to Lodge a Complaint with a Supervisory Authority

Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right under Article 77 GDPR to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority if you believe that the processing of your personal data infringes the GDPR. You may lodge a complaint in particular with a supervisory authority in the Member State of your habitual residence, place of work, or the place of the alleged infringement.
