3. Processing of personal data

We do not collect any personal data on our website unless otherwise stated in this privacy policy.

When you access our website, we collect and store the IP address assigned to your computer in order to transmit the content of our website that you have accessed to your computer (e.g., texts, images, games, product information, and files available for download, etc.). The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. Furthermore, we process this data for the purpose of detecting and tracking abuse. In this respect, the legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest in data processing is to ensure the proper functioning of our website and the transactions processed through it.

In addition, we collect and process information about the use of our website, such as the type of browser used and the date and time of website usage. We process this data to optimize our website and offerings and for market analysis. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest in this data processing lies in our need to provide you with a website that is tailored to your needs and optimized for the devices you use. You are not obligated to provide us with your data. However, without your data, we are unable to provide the services mentioned.

When you contact us via email or through one of our contact forms (with the exception of job applications, where section 4 of this privacy policy applies), the data provided therein will be stored in our system solely for the purpose of individual communication with you. The legal basis for this is either Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR (if communication is necessary for the performance of a contract with you or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures) or our legitimate interest in communicating with you at your request, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Please note that data transmission is not encrypted and therefore no confidential information should be sent via email. If you have consented to the processing of personal data in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR, you can revoke your consent at any time by contacting us by email at hello@truth-unscripted.com, without affecting the lawfulness of the processing carried out based on the consent before its revocation.

4. Cookies

Among other things, our website uses so-called "cookies", which serve to make our online presence more user-friendly, effective, and secure – for example, when it comes to speeding up navigation on our platform. Cookies also enable us to measure the frequency of page views and general navigation. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest in the use of cookies lies in the purposes mentioned for improving our online presence. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer system. We would like to point out that some of these cookies are transferred from our server to your computer system, mostly so-called "session cookies". "Session cookies" are characterized by the fact that they are automatically deleted from your hard drive at the end of the browser session. These cookies are only used by us to ensure the execution/provision of the service requested by the user. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest in data processing lies in optimizing website settings for the device you use and adapting the user interface. Other cookies remain on your computer system and enable us to recognize your computer system on your next visit (so-called persistent cookies). Of course, you can reject cookies at any time, provided your browser allows this.

5. Use of Google Analytics

Our website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. ("Google"). Google Analytics uses so-called "cookies", text files that are stored on your computer and enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website (including your IP address) is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity for website operators, and to provide other services related to website activity and internet usage. Google may also transfer this information to third parties if required by law or if third parties process this data on behalf of Google. Google will not associate your IP address with any other data held by Google.

You can prevent the installation of cookies by adjusting your browser settings accordingly; however, please note that if you do this, you may not be able to use all functions of this website to their full extent. By using this website, you consent to the processing of data about you by Google in the manner and for the purposes set out above. You can object to the collection and storage of data at any time with effect for the future. Our contact address for objection can be found in our imprint. Alternatively, you can use the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on (http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en) if available for your browser.

It should be noted that this website uses Google Analytics with the extension "_anonymizeIp()" and therefore IP addresses are only processed further in abbreviated form to exclude direct personal reference.

The use of Google Analytics is based on our legitimate interest in a needs-based design, statistical analysis, and efficient promotion of our website, and the fact that your interests do not override ours. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. You are not obligated to provide us with your data. However, without your data, we are unable to provide the services mentioned.

6. Rights regarding the processing of personal data

  • Upon request, we will provide you with information about the data stored about you at any time. If the legal requirements are met, you can also exercise the following rights:
  • Right to rectification of your personal data according to Art. 16 GDPR, if they are incorrect;
  • Right to immediate deletion ("right to be forgotten") of your personal data if the legal grounds according to Art. 17 GDPR exist. These exist, for example, if the personal data are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed, in cases of unlawful processing, the existence of an objection, or the existence of a deletion obligation.
  • Right to restriction of processing if the conditions exist and in accordance with Art. 18 GDPR. This right exists in particular if the accuracy of the personal data is disputed between the user and us, for the duration required to verify the accuracy, and in cases where the user requests restricted processing instead of deletion in the event of an existing deletion right. Furthermore, if the data are no longer necessary for the purposes pursued by us, but the user still needs them to assert, exercise or defend legal claims, and if the successful exercise of an objection between us and the user is still disputed.
  • Right to object to data processing under Art. 21 GDPR regarding data concerning you, which, among other things, is processed pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. e or f GDPR. We will cease processing your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for processing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing is for the purpose of asserting, exercising, or defending legal claims.
  • Right to data portability under Art. 20 GDPR. You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you that you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format and to transmit this data to another controller, such as another service provider. The prerequisite for this is that the processing is based on consent or a contract and is carried out using automated procedures.

If you wish to exercise the rights described, please contact us as the data controller for the website as follows:

7. Other data usage

Further processing or use of your personal data generally only takes place if a legal provision allows it or you have consented to the processing or use of data.

In the event of further processing for a purpose other than that for which the data were originally collected, we will inform you of this other purpose before further processing and provide you with any further relevant information.

8. Data deletion

In general, we delete or anonymize your personal data as soon as they are no longer required for the purposes for which we collected or used them according to the above paragraphs, unless further storage of your personal data is required due to a legal obligation.

9. Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority

In the event of a breach of data protection rights, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority. The competent supervisory authority for data protection issues is the data protection officer of the federal state in which our company is located.

10. Changes to this privacy policy

We therefore reserve the right to change this privacy policy in the future within the scope of applicable data protection laws and to adapt it to changed data processing realities if necessary. We therefore recommend that you visit our website from time to time to take note of any updates to our privacy policy.
