8. Processing of payment transactions

8. Processing of payment transactions

Your payment information is processed by the payment service provider Mollie B.V., Keizersgracht 313, 1016 EE Amsterdam (“Mollie”) in order to process payment transactions in accordance with the data protection standards of the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS). If you register a SEPA direct debit mandate as your payment method, we will collect the data required for this – IBAN and account holder’s name – and send it to Mollie. We and Mollie are joint controllers as defined in the GDPR with regard to the data processed and transmitted as part of the direct debit process. If you register a credit card as your payment method, your credit card information will be collected and processed directly by Mollie. In this case, this payment information will also be stored in our system for invoicing purposes; we do not have your complete credit card details there at any time. These are transmitted to us by Mollie in masked form in the course of the registration of your payment method. Mollie is the controller as defined by the GDPR for the data collected as part of the credit card payment. You continue to have the option of paying via the checkout. There is a wide variety of payment methods available when using the checkout. All the data required for the checkout is collected and processed by Mollie directly. This data is never stored in our system. Mollie is the controller as defined by the GDPR for the data collected as part of the checkout process. For more information on data protection at Mollie, see https://www.mollie.com/de/privacy. The legal basis for the collection and further processing of your data is Art. 6(1) (b) GDPR.

9. Handling of successful and failed payment processes

We store the number of your successful and failed payment processes. We store this information to block certain payment methods or users in individual cases. We do this to prevent the misuse of our services. A decision about such measures is not performed automatically. The legal basis of the processing is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

10. Sending of invoices

We will send you an invoice after booking of our WeWash service. Invoicing takes place via easybill GmbH, Düsselstraße 21, 41564 Kaarst. For the purposes of invoicing, we send easybill your first and last name, the bookings made, the address of the assigned laundry room and the payment information in a masked form. If you book our WeWash service via app or website, you will receive the invoice by email. For this purpose, we also send your email address to easybill. If you make the booking by telephone, we will also send your address so that the invoice can be sent to you via post. The legal basis for processing and forwarding is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR.

11. Sending notifications

In the case of registration or booking of a WeWash service via your registered account, you will receive a confirmation email to the email address stored by you in your account. This email will inform you exclusively about the registration or booking process and will not take place for marketing purposes. Email dispatch is carried out by the email provider SMTP2GO (Sand Dune Mail Ltd), 96-106 Manchester Street, Christchurch 8011, New Zealand. SMTP2GO will receive your e-mail address and your name for this purpose. The legal basis of data processing is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR, because you are thus firstly informed of the completed registration and the delivery is required in order to conclude the double opt-in procedure. Secondly, you will be provided with immediate proof of the completion of the booking process by sending of the confirmation e-mail upon booking. In the context of an adequacy decision, the European Commission confirmed that New Zealand has an adequate level of data protection. In addition, the data transmitted by us to SMTP2GO is not processed outside of Europe.   

12. Sending push messages in the app and via the website

(1) For sending push messages in mobile apps (Android and iOS) and via the website, we use the push message service of 650 Industries Inc. (“Expo”), 624 University Ave #1, Palo Alto, CA 94301, USA.

(2) We use push notifications to update you about waiting times or when the washing machine or dryer can be loaded, for example.

(3) For this purpose, a key is generated on your terminal device, with which the device/app combination can be uniquely identified and addressed with so-called Instance IDs. This key and the notification are transmitted to Expo. If you use our iOS app, Expo transmits a notification request along with this data to the “Apple Push Notification Service”, which executes the notification. If you use our Android app or the website, Expo transmits a notification request along with the data to the “Firebase Cloud Messaging” service of Google, which executes the notification in this case.

You can find Expo’s Data Protection Declaration at https://expo.io/privacy. The Data Protection Declaration for the Apple Push Notification Service and the Firebase Cloud Messaging can be found at https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/en-ww/ (Apple) and https://firebase.google.com/support/privacy (Firebase Cloud Messaging).

(4) We ensure that no personal data is contained in the notifications; however, the following data is also sent to Expo when transmitting the key and the data for technical purposes:

    • Device model
    • Device language
    • Operating system and version
    • Browser type and version
    • Device time zone
    • IP address

(5) Before we send you push notifications, we ask that you give your consent to this. If you do not give us this consent, we cannot send you push notifications. The data processing is therefore based on your consent (Art. 6 (1) letter a GDPR) in this regard.

(6) To this extent, Expo works for us as a data processor, and personal data is transferred to the United States in the process. For this purpose, Expo has submitted to the EU-US Privacy Shield, https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework.

(7) You can revoke your consent to receive push notifications at any time as follows:

a) When using our mobile app: If you no longer wish to receive notifications, you can block the notifications in your smartphone settings or switch off the notifications in the settings of our app.

b) When accessing our website: You can withdraw your consent to receive notifications at any time via the settings of your browser.

(1) In order to provide you with real-time information, we use the services “Cloud Firestore” and “Firebase Authentication” of Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

(2) Real-time information is, for example, information about your selected laundry room and the status of your reservations. However, the information retrieved in this regard is exclusively anonymous data that prevents any identification of you as a person.

(3) While using our app, your terminal device creates a connection to these services in order to retrieve the real-time information. In addition, the following data is also transmitted for technical purposes:

    • Device model
    • Device language
    • Operating system and version
    • Browser type and version

18. Cookies 

(1) We use cookies on our website and in our mobile app. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your hard drive and are assigned to the browser used by you or your operating system and in doing so provide us with certain information.  

We also use so-called counting pixels. When you visit our website, image or text files are retrieved that allow us to obtain specific information and, in particular, to track your usage behaviour on our website. Counting pixels differ from cookies technically, in particular, but they also require consent, if necessary. In this respect, the term “cookies” in this Data Protection Declaration also includes pixels.

There are first-party and third-party cookies. They are first-party cookies if they are set by the operator of the website as the controller for the processing of data or by a data processor engaged by the controller. Third-party cookies are set and read by other controllers, i.e. not by the website operator or its data processors.

There are also transient and persistent cookies. Transient cookies are cookies that are automatically deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on the device for a specific period of time even after the browser is closed.

Depending on the function, cookies are either consent-free or require consent. Consent-free cookies are those that are absolutely necessary so that the provider of a service can render the service desired by the user. Furthermore, cookies are also consent-free if they only serve to carry out the transfer of information within an electronic communication network. Other cookies are cookies that require consent.

If and to the extent to which consent is required for the use of certain cookies, these cookies will only be set if you have consented to this. We display a so-called “consent banner” to you on our website. By pressing the button provided, you can consent to the use of all cookies listed in this Data Protection Declaration. You can also perform a custom selection of cookies by checking the “Preferences”, “Statistics”, and “Marketing” boxes. You can also change the selections you have made at a later time. This can be done in the settings of the website.

We will also store your consent and your selection as cookies so that we can determine whether and to what extent you have already granted consent.

Name: CookieConsent (first-party cookie)
Requires consent: no
Persistent: 12 months

You can also manage the use of cookies via your browser. Different browsers offer various methods for configuring the cookie settings in the browser. For more detailed information on this, see for example http://www.allaboutcookies.org/ge/cookies-verwalten/.

We would like to point out that you may not be able to use all functions of our website if you deactivate all cookies or, for example, absolutely necessary cookies.

For information on the cookies we use please see our cookie declaration at https://we-wash.com/en/cookie-declaration/

19. Google Analytics 

On our website and in our mobile app, we use Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses “cookies”, i.e. Text files that are stored on your device and enable analysis of the use of our services by you. The information generated by the cookie about your use of our services is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. Through the activation of IP anonymisation on our website and in our mobile app, your IP address will be shortened beforehand by Google, however, within member states of the European Union or in other signatory states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of WeWash, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of our services in order to compile reports about the app and website activities and to provide additional services connected with the app and website use and internet use to WeWash. The IP address transmitted by your device within the framework of Google Analytics is not merged with other data from Google.

Name: _ga (first-party cookie)
Purpose: Registers a unique ID that is used to generate statistical data on how the visitor uses the website.
Requires consent: yes
Persistent: 24 months

Name: _gat (first-party cookie)
Purpose: Is used by Google Analytics to restrict the demand rate
Requires consent: yes
Persistent: 24 hours

Name: _gid (first-party cookie)
Purpose: Registers a unique ID that is used to generate statistical data on how the visitor uses the website.
Requires consent: yes
Persistent: 24 hours

For general information on cookies and their administration (e.g. consent), please refer to Clause 18 of this Data Protection Declaration.

In addition to the procedure described in Clause 18 (consent via the consent banner), you can prevent participation in this tracking method as follows:  You can prevent the storage of cookies by adjusting your browser software; however, we point out that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of this website in full. You can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (incl. your IP address) to Google and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under the following link (https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de). To deactivate the collection within the mobile app, in the app after successful login, you can find a check box in the “My Profile” menu item in the “Settings” section, which allows you to switch the approval of anonymised usage statistics on or off to improve the app.

We use Google Analytics to analyse and regularly improve the use of our services. We can improve our offering through the statistics obtained and make it more interesting for you as a user.

Google has submitted to the EU-US Privacy Shield for the exceptional cases in which personal data is transferred to the USA, https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework. The legal basis for the use of Google Analytics is Art. 6 Para. 1 Sentence 1 lit. a GDPR.

For more information on terms of use and data protection, see https://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html or under https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/. We would like to point out that Google Analytics has expanded the code “ga(‘set’,‘anonymizeIp’,true)” to ensure an anonymous recording of IP addresses (so-called IP masking). As a result, IP addresses are processed further in shortened form and direct reference to persons can therefore be excluded.

The use of Google Analytics takes place in accordance with the prerequisites on which the German data protection authorities reached agreement with Google. Information from the third-party provider: Google Dublin, Google Ireland Ltd., Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, Fax: +353 (1) 436 1001.

20. Use of Google RecAPTCHA

We use Google RecAPTCHA to review and avoid interactions on our website by automated or automatic access, in particular by so-called bots. This is a service of Google Ireland Ltd., Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (Google).

For this, Google collects and analyses from which IP address a request is sent. In addition to your IP address, additional information, in particular for your location, may be collected by Google, which is necessary for this service.

Google has submitted to the EU-US Privacy Shield for the cases in which personal data is transferred to the USA, https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework.

The legal basis is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the security of our website and in the defence of undesired, automated access in the form by Bots and in avoiding spam.

For more information on data processing by Google, see: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de

21. Use of Google Adwords

(1) We use the service from Google Adwords to draw attention to our attractive offers by means of advertising media (so-called Google Adwords) on external websites. In relation to the data of the advertising campaigns, we can determine how successful the individual advertising measures are. We are therefore interested in displaying to you advertising that is of interest to you to make our website more interesting and to achieve a fair calculation of advertising costs.

(2) These advertising media are delivered by Google via so-called “ad servers”. For this purpose, we use ad server cookies to measure the specific parameters for success measurement, such as Display of the advertisements or clicks by the users. If you access our website via a Google ad, a cookie is stored on your PC by Google Adwords. These cookies generally lose their validity after 30 days and should not serve to identify you personally. As analysis values, the unique cookie ID, number of ad impressions per placement (frequency), last impression (relevant for post-view conversions) and opt-out information (marking that the user no longer wants to be contacted) are usually stored for this cookie.

These cookies enable Google to recognise your internet browser. If a user visits certain pages of the website of an Adwords customer and the cookie stored on his computer has not yet expired, Google and the customer can recognise that the user has clicked on the display and has been forwarded to this page. Each Adwords customer is assigned a different cookie. Cookies cannot therefore be traced across the websites of Adwords customers. We do not collect and process any personal data in the aforementioned advertising measures ourselves. We only receive statistical evaluations from Google. Based on these evaluations, we can recognise which of the advertising measures used are particularly effective. We do not receive further data from the use of the advertising media, in particular we cannot identify users based on this information.

(3) Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection to the Google server. We have no influence on the scope and further use of the data that is collected by Google through the use of this tool and therefore inform you in accordance with the  our knowledge: By integrating AdWords Conversion, Google receives the information that you have called up the corresponding part of our website or have clicked on a display from us. If you are registered with a Google service, Google can associate your visit with your account. Even if you are not registered with Google or have not logged in, there is the possibility that the provider will find out and store your IP address.

(4) You can prevent participation in this tracking method in addition to the procedure described in Clause 18 (consent via the consent banner) in different ways a) by a corresponding setting of your browser software, in particular the suppression of third-party cookies results you not receiving any ads from third-party providers; b) by deactivating the cookies for conversion tracking by setting your browser so that cookies from the domain “www.googleadservices.com”, https://www.google.de/settings/ads are blocked, wherein this setting is deleted if you delete your cookies; c) by disabling the interest-related display of the providers which are part of the self-regulatory campaign “About Ads”, via the link http://www.aboutads.info/choices, wherein this setting is deleted if you delete your cookies; d) by permanent deactivation in your browsers Firefox, Internet Explorer or Google Chrome under the link http://www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin.

In order to be able to exploit usage-based advertising, plista collects information on the usage behaviour of website visitors on all websites of the plista partner network (so-called usage data) using cookies and summarises these with a random identification sign assigned by plista (so-called cookie ID) into usage profiles.

26. Newsletter 

If you opt for our newsletter service, we will inform you about our current offers via the email address you stipulated. You can only receive the newsletter if you specify a valid email address. For legal reasons, a confirmation email in the double opt-in procedure is sent to the e-mail address entered by you for the first time for the newsletter dispatch. This confirmation email serves to check whether you have actually authorised the receipt of the newsletter as the holder of the e-mail address.

When registering for the newsletter, we also save the IP address assigned by the Internet Service Provider (ISP) to the computer system used by the data subject as well as the date and time of the registration. The collection of this data is necessary in order to be able to understand the (possible) misuse of the e-mail address of a data subject at a later point in time and therefore serves the legal protection of the person responsible for processing. The legal basis for the collection of your data and the sending of the newsletter is your consent pursuant to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR.

The personal data collected in the context of a registration to the newsletter will be used exclusively to send our newsletter. In addition, subscribers of the newsletter may be informed by e-mail if this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service, e.g. in the event of changes to the newsletter service or in the change of the technical circumstances.

The newsletter is sent via “MailChimp”, a newsletter dispatch platform of the US provider Rocket Science Group, LLC, 675 Ponce De Leon Ave NE #5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA. The e-mail addresses and data further described under this clause are stored on the servers of MailChimp in the USA. MailChimp uses this information for shipping and for the evaluation of the newsletter on our behalf. In addition, MailChimp can use this data to optimise or improve its own services, e.g. for technical optimisation of the shipping and presentation of the newsletter or for economic purposes to determine from which countries the recipients come from. However, MailChimp does not use the data of our newsletter recipients to write to them themselves or to forward them to third parties.

We trust the reliability and IT and data security of MailChimp. MailChimp is certified under the US EU data protection agreement “Privacy Shield” and agrees to comply with the EU data protection requirements. In addition, we have concluded a contract for order processing with MailChimp. This is a contract in which MailChimp is obliged to protect the data of our users in accordance with our data protection provisions on our behalf and in particular not to pass it on to third parties. You can view the data privacy policy of MailChimp view under the following link: https://mailchimp.com/legal/privacy/

If you do not wish to receive any more newsletters from us later, you can object to this at any time without incurring any costs for this other than the transmission costs according to the basic rates. A notification in text form (e.g. e-mail, letter) to datenschutz@we-wash.com or the contact data specified in Clause 32 is sufficient for this.

27. Transfer of data to third parties

    • you have given your explicit consent to this in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 Sentence 1 lit. a GDPR,
    • the disclosure pursuant to Art. 6 Para. 1 Sentence 1 lit. f GDPR is required for asserting, exercising or defending legal claims and is not a reason for which you have a disproportionate interest in the non-disclosure of your data,
    • in the case that there is a legal obligation for the disclosure under Art. 6 Para. 1 Sentence 1 lit. c GDPR, as well as
