​
To whom does this privacy policy apply?
​
When we process personal information, it means that we collect, store, use, transmit or delete it.
Such is the personal data of:
• interested parties, customers, investors, or employees of Urban Ray GmbH who appear to be natural persons
• all other natural persons who are in contact with us, e.g., representatives of legal
• visitors to our website, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, or LinkedIn page
​
What personal data do we collect from you?
​
We collect personal information from you when you contact us, e.g., as an interested party, customer, or investor.
This means in particular:
• you are interested in our offers,
• you have contacted us through our website form,
• you have contacted us via email or phone call,
• you have signed for our newsletter,
• you already use our products and services in the framework of an existing business relationship,
• we already use your products and services in the framework of an existing business relationship
​
We process the following personal data:
​
• personal contact data, full name, address, email address, phone number
• personal contact data, full name, address, email address, phone number if you are a legal representative of the employee;
• payment information;
• information about your interests and wishes which you tell us about: e.g., via our customer dialogue or our website.
​
Data we receive over the Internet
​
• General retrievable data/log files: For technical reasons, every time a website is accessed, data is transmitted from your computer to us, such as the date and time of you visiting one of our pages, your browser type, the browser settings, and the operating system, the last page you visited, the amount of data transmitted and the access status (file transfer, file not found, etc.). This data is considered to be regular non-personal data. In addition, however, your computer usually also sends us your IP address, which in individual cases may be personal. We use the log file data solely to ensure the functionality of our services (such as failure analysis, system security, and protection against misuse).
​
• Cookies: To make visiting of our website easier, we transfer so-called cookies to your computer. Cookies are small text files that can be used to identify your computer. They do not interfere with the operating system of your computer. Among other things, we use cookies to measure and control the frequency of page views and general site navigation. You can block the use of cookies. Under certain circumstances, however, individual functions of our offer might not be used. To block the use of cookies, please also refer to the instructions for your browser software.
​
• Details of your IP address: Your IP address, which in many cases is sent to us, is a globally valid identifier of your computer that is unique at the time of assignment by your internet service provider. An IP address consists of four numbered blocks separated by dots. In most cases, you as a private user will not use a consistent IP address, since you will only be assigned this temporarily by your provider (so-called “dynamic IP address“). Your provider can sort out which IP address was assigned to which of its clients at what time. For other people, including us, the recording of the assignment of a dynamic IP address to a specific person is usually not possible. This is different only in the case of a permanently assigned IP address (so-called “static IP address“), which in principle makes possible a clear assignment of the user data via this feature. Except for the purpose of tracking unauthorized access to our offer on the Internet, we generally consider this data to be non-personal, but evaluate it only on an anonymous basis, to detect which of our sites are favored, and how many accesses are made daily, and the like.
​
Statistics Assessment Tools
​
For individual services of our enterprise, we collect additional data. These are partially used for statistical purposes. For example, it shows how often our pages are accessed so we can graph out the basics for our media data. In addition, we also want to get an overview of our online offers which are particularly in demand.
​
Plugins
​
Plugins are offers from third-party companies such as Facebook. They help you to connect to these providers. Sometimes only data about the browser performance is transmitted. However, if you actively use plugins (for example, within your Google profile), this information will also be transferred. Below you can find out more about the individual plugins:
• Visitor Analytics
​
Analytics Tools
​
This website uses Visitor Analytics (www.visitor-analytics.io). Visitor Analytics is a simple website analytics service that measures the traffic on our website and website visitors' general details. We collect statistics like which pages visitors visit and when, where they are approximately located, where they land first, or if they are coming from a specific referral, to make our website visitors' experience better.
As a website operator using Visitor Analytics, we process information about our visitors' device type and screen size/resolution, approximate location, browser, OS, IPs, page visits, bounce rate, conversions, conversion funnels, average sessions per visitor, average pages per session, average session duration, time spent on the website and preferably visited content on the website. All this data is pseudonymized and Visitor Analytics will not use the collected data to identify individual users or to match the data with additional information on an individual user.
We do not use cookies to collect this data. Instead, we use the so-called fingerprinting technology that does not require placing any cookies, files, or technology on your device. Fingerprinting relies on your device’s technical attributes and combines them to identify your device as a unique device and allow for reliable analytics.
You may choose to prevent this website from aggregating and analyzing the actions you take here. Doing so will protect your privacy but will also prevent the owner from learning from your actions and creating a better experience for you and other users.

​
Newsletter
​
If you would like to receive the newsletter offered on the website, we require an email address from you as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the email address provided and that you agree to receive the newsletter. Further data is not collected or only on a voluntary basis. For the handling of the newsletter, we use newsletter service providers, which are described below.
​
MailChimp
This website uses the services of MailChimp to send out its newsletters. The provider is the Rocket Science Group LLC, 675 Ponce De Leon Ave NE, Suite 5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA.
Among other things, MailChimp is a service that can be deployed to organize and analyze the sending of newsletters. Whenever you enter data for the purpose of subscribing to a newsletter (e.g. your email address), the information is stored on MailChimp servers in the United States. With the assistance of the MailChimp tool, we can analyze the performance of our newsletter campaigns. If you open an email that has been sent through the MailChimp tool, a file that has been integrated into the email (a so-called web beacon) connects to MailChimp’s servers in the United States. As a result, it can be determined whether a newsletter message has been opened and which links the recipient possibly clicked on. Technical information is also recorded at that time (e.g. the time of access, the IP address, the type of browser and the operating system). This information cannot be allocated to the respective newsletter recipient. Their sole purpose is the performance of statistical analyses of newsletter campaigns. The results of such analyses can be used to tailor future newsletters to the interests of their recipients more effectively.
If you do not want to permit an analysis by MailChimp, you must unsubscribe from the newsletter. We provide a link for you to do this in every newsletter message. The data is processed based on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You may revoke any consent you have given at any time by unsubscribing from the newsletter. This shall be without prejudice to the lawfulness of any data processing transactions that have taken place prior to your revocation. The data deposited with us for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter will be stored by us until you unsubscribe from the newsletter or the newsletter service provider and deleted from the newsletter distribution list after you unsubscribe from the newsletter. Data stored for other purposes with us remain unaffected. Data transmission to the US is based on the Standard Contractual Clauses (SCC) of the European Commission. Details can be found here: https://mailchimp.com/eu-us-data-transfer-statement/ and https://mailchimp.com/legal/data-processing-addendum/#Annex_C_-_Standard_Contractual_Clauses.
After you unsubscribe from the newsletter distribution list, your email address may be stored by us or the newsletter service provider in a blacklist to prevent future mailings. The data from the blacklist is used only for this purpose and not merged with other data. This serves both your interest and our interest in complying with the legal requirements when sending newsletters (legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). The storage in the blacklist is indefinite. You may object to the storage if your interests outweigh our legitimate interest. For more details, please consult the Data Privacy Policies of MailChimp at: https://mailchimp.com/legal/terms/.
​
To ensure data protection-compliant processing, we have concluded an order processing contract with the above-mentioned provider.
​
Embedded videos from YouTube
​
• On some of our websites, we embed videos from YouTube. The corresponding plug-ins are operated from YouTube main office, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. When you visit a page with the YouTube plug-in, YouTube starts a connection to its servers. It acts as a recommendation signal for YouTube as to which pages you search for. If you are logged in to your YouTube account, YouTube may personally associate your browsing behavior with your previous actions. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account prior to that.
• If a YouTube video is launched, the provider uses cookies that collect information about user behavior. If you want to prevent this, you must block the storage of cookies in your browser settings.
• Further information on data protection with “YouTube“ can be found in the provider’s privacy policy at: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/
​
Embedded Google Maps
​
• On our website the map service Google Maps is connected via an API. The provider of the service is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. In order to use the features of Google Maps, it is necessary to save your IP address. This information is typically transmitted and stored at Google servers in the United States. As merely a provider of access to this site, we have no influence on the data transmission.
• We use Google Maps on our websites to present our offers in an appealing way and to present the exact location of our products to you (legitimate interest according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f of GDPR).

We use your data to fulfill contractual obligations so that you can become familiar with our products and services.
