Ingenious Knowledge GmbH (“we,” “our,” or “us”) is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how your personal information is collected, used, and disclosed by Ingenious Knowledge GmbH.
This Privacy Policy applies to our website and its associated subdomains (collectively, our “Service”). By accessing or using our Service, you signify that you have read, understood, and agree to our collection, storage, use, and disclosure of your personal information as described in this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Service.
To help explain things as clearly as possible in this Privacy Policy, every time any of these terms are referenced, they are strictly defined as:
We automatically collect certain information when you visit, use, or navigate our platform. This information does not reveal your specific identity (like your name or contact information) but may include device and usage information, such as your IP address, browser and device characteristics, operating system, language preferences, referring URLs, device name, country, location, information about how and when you use our platform, and other technical information. This information is primarily needed to maintain the security and operation of our platform, and for our internal analytics and reporting purposes.
Other automatically collected data could include login details, email address, password, computer and connection information (e.g., browser plug-in types and versions, time zone settings, operating systems, and platforms), purchase history (sometimes aggregated with similar information from other users), and the full Uniform Resource Locator (URL) clickstream to, through, and from our website, including date and time, cookie number, parts of the site you viewed or searched for, and the phone number used to contact our Customer Services. We may also use browser data such as cookies, Flash cookies, or similar data for fraud prevention and other purposes. During your visits, we may use software tools like JavaScript to measure and collect session information, including page response times, download errors, length of visits to certain pages, page interaction information (such as scrolling, clicks, and mouse-overs), and methods used to browse away from the page. We may also collect technical information to help identify your device for fraud prevention and diagnostic purposes.
If you are an Ingenious Knowledge GmbH worker or applicant, we collect information you voluntarily provide to us. We use this information for Human Resources purposes, including administering benefits to workers and screening applicants.
You may contact us to:
Such updates, corrections, changes, and deletions will have no effect on other information we maintain or information we have provided to third parties in accordance with this Privacy Policy prior to such actions.
We reserve the right to transfer information to a third party in the event of a sale, merger, or other transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of Ingenious Knowledge GmbH or any of its Corporate Affiliates (as defined herein), or that portion of Ingenious Knowledge GmbH or any of its Corporate Affiliates to which the Service relates, or if we discontinue our business or file a petition (or have a petition filed against us) in bankruptcy, reorganization, or similar proceeding. The third party must agree to adhere to the terms of this Privacy Policy.
We may disclose information (including personal information) about you to our Corporate Affiliates. For purposes of this Privacy Policy, "Corporate Affiliate" means any person or entity that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with Ingenious Knowledge GmbH, whether by ownership or otherwise. Any information relating to you that we provide to our Corporate Affiliates will be treated by those affiliates in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
This Privacy Policy is governed by the laws of Germany without regard to its conflict of laws provisions. You consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts in connection with any action or dispute arising between the parties under or in connection with this Privacy Policy, except for those individuals who may have rights to make claims under the Privacy Shield or the Swiss-US framework.
The laws of Germany, excluding its conflicts of law rules, govern this Agreement and your use of the website. Your use of the website may also be subject to other local, state, national, or international laws.
By using Ingenious Knowledge GmbH or contacting us directly, you signify your acceptance of this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, you should not engage with our website or use our services. Continued use of the website, direct engagement with us, or following the posting of changes to this Privacy Policy that do not significantly affect the use or disclosure of your personal information will mean you accept those changes.
We’ve updated our Privacy Policy to provide complete transparency into what is being set when you visit our site and how it’s being used. By using our website, registering an account, or engaging with our services, you consent to our Privacy Policy and agree to its terms.
This Privacy Policy applies only to the Services. The Services may contain links to other websites not operated or controlled by Ingenious Knowledge GmbH. We are not responsible for the content, accuracy, or opinions expressed on such websites, and we do not investigate, monitor, or check them for accuracy or completeness. When you follow a link to another website, our Privacy Policy no longer applies. Your browsing and interaction on any other website, including those linked from our platform, are subject to that website’s own rules and policies. Third parties may use their own cookies or other methods to collect information about you.
Ingenious Knowledge GmbH uses "Cookies" to identify the areas of our website you have visited. A Cookie is a small piece of data stored on your computer or mobile device by your web browser. We use Cookies to enhance the performance and functionality of our website, though they are non-essential. Without these cookies, certain functionalities (e.g., videos) may become unavailable, or you may need to enter login details each time you visit, as we cannot remember your prior login. Most web browsers can be set to disable Cookies, but this may prevent you from accessing some website functionalities correctly or at all. We never place Personally Identifiable Information in Cookies.
You may set your browser to block cookies and similar technologies. However, this may block our essential cookies, preventing our website from functioning properly and limiting your ability to use all its features and services. Blocking cookies may also cause you to lose saved information (e.g., login details, site preferences). Different browsers offer different controls; disabling a cookie does not delete it from your browser—you must do this manually via your browser settings. Check your browser’s help menu for more information.
We do not address anyone under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from anyone under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and aware that your child has provided us with Personal Data, please contact us. If we learn we have collected Personal Data from anyone under 13 without parental consent verification, we will take steps to remove that information from our servers.
We may change our Service and policies, necessitating updates to this Privacy Policy to accurately reflect them. Unless required by law, we will notify you (e.g., through our Service) before making changes and give you an opportunity to review them before they take effect. Continued use of the Service after such changes means you are bound by the updated Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to this or any updated Privacy Policy, you can delete your account.
We may display, include, or make available third-party content (including data, information, applications, and other products or services) or provide links to third-party websites or services ("Third-Party Services").
You acknowledge and agree that Ingenious Knowledge GmbH is not responsible for any Third-Party Services, including their accuracy, completeness, timeliness, validity, copyright compliance, legality, decency, quality, or any other aspect. We assume no liability or responsibility to you or any other person or entity for these services. Third-Party Services and links are provided solely for your convenience, and you access and use them at your own risk, subject to the third parties’ terms and conditions.
If you are from the European Economic Area (EEA), we may collect and use your information. This section explains how and why this data is collected and how we protect it from misuse.
The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) requires disclosure of Personal Information categories we collect, use, and share (explained above) and informs California residents of their rights:
Submit requests, and we’ll respond within one month. Contact us for more information.
CalOPPA mirrors CCPA requirements and rights (see above). We do not sell users’ Personal Information. Contact us to exercise these rights or learn more.
