Privacy policy

General terms and conditions for the use of our services

1. Introduction

In the following, we inform about the processing of personal data when using

  • our website getivy.com

  • of our services within the scope of the product Ivy

  • of our profiles in social media.

Personal data is any data that can be related to a specific natural person, e.g. their name or IP address.

1.1. Contact details

The controller pursuant to Art. 4 (7) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is Ivy GmbH, Sandstraße 33, 80335 Munich, Germany, e-mail: hello@getivy.de. We are legally represented by the Managing Directors (Geschäftsführer) Ferdinand Dabitz, Simon Wimmer, Peter Lieck, Joshua Becker.

Our data protection officer can be contacted via heyData GmbH, Schützenstraße 5, 10117 Berlin, www.heydata.eu, e-mail: datenschutz@heydata.eu.

1.2 Scope of data processing, processing purposes and legal basis

We detail the scope of data processing, processing purposes and legal bases below. In principle, the following come into consideration as the legal basis for data processing:

  • Art. 6 (1) p. 1 lit. a DSGVO serves as the legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent.

  • Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. b DSGVO is the legal basis insofar as the processing of personal data is necessary for the fulfillment of a contract, e.g. if a site visitor purchases a product from us or we perform a service for him.

  • This legal basis also applies to processing that is necessary for pre-contractual measures, such as inquiries about our products or services.

  • Art. 6 (1) p. 1 lit. c DSGVO applies if we fulfill a legal obligation with the processing of personal data, as may be the case, for example, in tax law.

  • Art. 6 (1) p. 1 lit. f DSGVO serves as the legal basis when we can invoke legitimate interests to process personal data, e.g. for cookies that are necessary for the technical operation of our website.

1.3 Data processing outside the EEA

Insofar as we transfer data to service providers or other third parties outside the EEA, adequacy decisions of the EU Commission pursuant to Art. 45 para. 3 GDPR guarantee the security of the data during transfer, insofar as these exist, as is the case, for example, for the UK, Canada and Israel.

If no adequacy decision exists (e.g. for the USA), the legal basis for data transfer is usually standard contractual clauses, i.e. unless we indicate otherwise. These are a set of rules adopted by the EU Commission and form part of the contract with the respective third party. According to Art. 46 para. 2 lit. b GDPR, they guarantee the security of data transfer. Many of the providers have issued contractual guarantees that go beyond the standard contractual clauses and protect the data beyond the standard contractual clauses. These are, for example, guarantees regarding the encryption of the data or regarding the obligation of the third party to inform the data subject if law enforcement agencies wish to access data.

1.4. Storage period

Unless expressly stated within the scope of this data protection declaration, the data stored by us will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required for its intended purpose and the deletion does not conflict with any statutory retention obligations. If the data is not deleted because it is required for other and legally permissible purposes, its processing will be restricted, i.e. the data will be blocked and not processed for other purposes. This applies, for example, to data that we must retain for reasons of commercial or tax law.

1.5 Rights of the persons concerned

Data subjects have the following rights vis-à-vis us with regard to the personal data concerning them:

  • Right to information,

  • Right to rectification or deletion,

  • Right to restriction of processing,

  • Right to object to processing,

  • Right to data portability,

  • Right to revoke consent given at any time.

Data subjects also have the right to complain to a data protection supervisory authority about the processing of their personal data. Contact details for the data protection supervisory authorities are available at https://www.bfdi.bund.de/DE/Service/Anschriften/Laender/Laender-node.html.

1.6 Obligation to provide data

In the context of a business relationship or other relationship, customers, interested parties or third parties only have to provide us with the personal data that is required for the establishment, implementation and termination of the business relationship or for the other relationship, or which we are legally obliged to collect. Without this data, we will usually have to refuse to conclude a contract or provide a service or will no longer be able to perform an existing contract or other relationship.

Mandatory information is marked as such.

1.7 No automatic decision-making in individual cases

In principle, we do not use fully automated decision-making in accordance with Article 22 GDPR to establish and implement a business relationship or other relationship. If we use these procedures in individual cases, we will provide separate information about this if this is required by law.

1.8 Making contact

When you contact us, e.g. by email or telephone, the data you provide us with (e.g. names and email addresses) will be stored by us in order to answer your questions. The legal basis for the processing is our legitimate interest (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR) in answering inquiries addressed to us. We delete the data collected in this context after storage is no longer necessary or restrict processing if there are statutory retention obligations.

1.9 Customer surveys

From time to time, we conduct customer surveys to get to know our customers and their wishes better. We collect the data requested in each case. It is our legitimate interest to get to know our customers and their wishes better, so that the legal basis for the associated data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. We delete the data once the results of the surveys have been evaluated.



  1. Newsletter

Interested parties have the option of subscribing to a free newsletter. We process the data provided during registration exclusively for the purpose of sending the newsletter. Registration takes place by selecting the corresponding field on our website, by ticking the corresponding field in a paper document or by another clear action, whereby interested parties declare their consent to the processing of their data, so that the legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit.a GDPR. Consent can be withdrawn at any time, e.g. by clicking on the corresponding link in the newsletter or by sending a message to the email address provided above. The processing of the data until revocation remains lawful even in the event of revocation.

Based on the consent of the recipients (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR), we also measure the opening and click rate of our newsletters in order to understand which content is relevant for our recipients.

Downstream data processing is carried out in accordance with the following sections and on the basis of the provisions of the GDPR.

3.2 Informational use of the website

During the informative use of the website, i.e. when site visitors do not separately transmit information to us, we collect the personal data that the browser transmits to our server in order to ensure the stability and security of our website.

The processing of the data provided as part of the application is carried out for the purpose of implementing the application process. Insofar as this is necessary for our decision to establish an employment relationship, the legal basis is Art. 88 (1) DSGVO in conjunction with Section 26 (1) BDSG. We have marked the data required to carry out the application process accordingly or refer to them. If applicants do not provide this data, we cannot process the application.

Further data is voluntary and not required for an application. If applicants provide further information, this is based on their consent (Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. a DSGVO).

We ask applicants to refrain from providing information on political opinions, religious beliefs and similarly sensitive data in their resumes and cover letters. They are not required for an application. If applicants nevertheless provide such information, we cannot prevent their processing as part of the processing of the resume or cover letter. Their processing is then also based on the consent of the applicants (Art. 9 (2) a DSGVO).

Finally, we process the applicants’ data for further application procedures if they have given us their consent to do so. In this case, the legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. a DSGVO.We pass on the applicants’ data to the responsible employees in the HR department, to our order processors in the area of recruiting and to the employees otherwise involved in the application process.

  1. Data processing during the use of our product Ivy

4.1 Payment initiation

With regard to users of our digital Express Checkout Ivy, we process the following data in the context of registration and use in order to provide the service of our product to the customer:

  • Name,

  • Email address

  • Phone number

  • Address

  • Content/price of an e-commerce shopping cart.

As part of the Express Checkout, this personal data is forwarded to the respective merchant in order to execute the order. After entering the above data, the user selects their bank and is directed to one of several open banking infrastructure providers based on the best connectivity to that bank. The payment is approved at the bank and the user is then redirected back to Ivy. We only receive information as to whether the authentication of the payment was successful.

When selecting the respective bank, users have the option of saving the selected bank for future purchases. The selection is then saved for the next purchase at Ivy on the basis of the user’s consent in accordance with Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR.

In the case of an express checkout, we forward personal data to the respective retailer from whom the user was forwarded (e-mail address, cell phone number, name, address, shipping method).

The legal basis for the data processing described is consent obtained from the user (Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. a DSGVO), insofar as forwarding to third parties is concerned. Users can revoke consent at any time, e.g. by contacting hello@getivy.de. The processing of the data until the time of revocation remains lawful.

The processing of the remaining data is necessary for the execution of the contract concluded with users (Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. b DSGVO).

We delete the data when the account is deleted or when users request deletion and there are no retention rights or obligations to the contrary.

4.2 Account check

Ivy provides merchants with Account Checks for use over the Internet. Account Checks enable merchants to verify the IBAN and name of customers via Open Banking. Ivy acts exclusively as a technical service provider. We have therefore signed an order processing agreement with the respective merchant in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR.

4.3 Ivy on File

With regard to users of our Ivy on File product, we process the following data in the context of registration and and creating of a direct debit mandate and use in order to provide the service of our product to the customer:

The mandate and corresponding mandate details are made available to the merchant for subsequent direct debit charges in line with the payment terms agreed between the user and merchant and for communicating with the user about the mandate and charges per the direct debit scheme requirements.

  1. Data processing on social media platforms

We are represented in social media networks in order to present our company and our services there. The operators of these networks regularly process their users’ data for advertising purposes. Among other things, they create user profiles from their online behavior, which are used, for example, to show advertising on the pages of the networks and elsewhere on the Internet that corresponds to the interests of the users. To this end, the operators of the networks store information on user behavior in cookies on the users’ computers. Furthermore, it cannot be ruled out that the operators merge this information with other data. Users can obtain further information and instructions on how to object to processing by the site operators in the data protection declarations of the respective operators listed below. It is also possible that the operators or their servers are located in non-EU countries, so that they process data there. This may result in risks for users, e.g. because it is more difficult to enforce their rights or because government agencies access the data.

When users of the networks contact us via our profiles, we process the data provided to us in order to respond to the inquiries. This is our legitimate interest, so that the legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f DSGVO.

5.1 Instagram
