Privacy notice for the partner portal
This notice supplements the privacy policy of Einfach Elterngeld GmbH (in German) for the subdomain partner.einfach-elterngeld.de. The controller is Einfach Elterngeld GmbH, Pennricher Straße 31, 01157 Dresden, Germany, kontakt@einfach-elterngeld.de. Information on your rights (access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection, data portability) and on your right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority can be found in the general privacy policy. The German version of this notice is authoritative.
Visiting these pages
When you access these pages, our hosting provider (IONOS SE, data centre in Germany) processes technically necessary data such as IP address, time, requested address and browser identifier in server logs in order to deliver the pages and protect them against misuse (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). The logs are deleted automatically after a short period.
We set no cookies for visitors and use no third-party analytics or tracking tools. Fonts, graphics and scripts are loaded exclusively from our own server; no data is transferred to Google or other third parties when you visit the pages. The language is selected via the page address (/en), not via a cookie.
To see which offers are of interest, our server counts page views anonymously: per day, page and language, a counter is increased, together with a rough indication of origin (e.g. “search engine”, “social network” or the domain of the referring website, as transmitted by your browser; never the full address or search terms). No IP address, no cookie and no profile is stored; it is not possible to draw conclusions about individual persons (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). The counters are deleted after just over two years.
Links to partner offers
The offers on these pages are advertisements by our cooperation partners and for our own offers from Einfach Elterngeld GmbH. If you click a button such as “To the offer”, we forward you to the partner’s website. The same applies to links in the text of a partner page; they also run via our server first. We merely increase a counter per partner, link and day in order to evaluate the cooperation – without IP address, without cookie and without any reference to your person.
The partner’s privacy policy applies on the partner’s website. The partner can see that you came via us (for example via a dedicated partner address) so that a commission can be attributed to us. This does not tell us which data you provide to the partner.
For some partners, the link runs via an affiliate network or a partner’s tracking platform, currently AWIN AG, Otto-Ostrowski-Straße 1A, 10249 Berlin, Germany, and – for bunq – the platforms Everflow (Everflow Technologies, Inc., USA; data may be transferred to the USA) and Adjust (Adjust GmbH, Berlin) used by bunq. Your browser is briefly redirected via the network’s server. The network may process technical data such as IP address, time and a click ID and set a cookie on its own domain so that a later purchase can be attributed to us. The network and the respective partner are responsible for this; their privacy policies apply (for AWIN: awin.com/de/datenschutzerklarung). We only receive aggregated information on clicks and sales without any reference to your person.
Customer benefits
Some partners offer exclusive benefits for customers of Einfach Elterngeld GmbH. To display the code, you enter your order number and email address. We only check these details against our own customer records (Art. 6(1)(b) and (f) GDPR) and do not store them for this purpose. To prevent misuse, we log failed attempts only as hash values (of order number and IP address) for a maximum of 30 days. The partner does not receive your details.
Registering as a partner
If a company registers via “Become a partner”, we process the details entered (company, contact person, business email address, optional phone number and website, description of the offer) to verify the email address, review the request and set up the partner access (Art. 6(1)(b) and (f) GDPR). As protection against misuse, attempts are stored only as hash values for no longer than 30 days. Unconfirmed registrations are deleted after 7 days, decided requests after 180 days.
Access for cooperation partners
For employees of our cooperation partners and for our own team we process name, business email address, an encrypted password, login times and the content provided in order to operate the partner area and carry out the cooperation (Art. 6(1)(b) and (f) GDPR). A technically necessary session cookie is set for logging in. To protect against abusive login attempts, we store login attempts only as hash values (of IP and email address) for no longer than 30 days. Access data is deleted when the cooperation ends.
We use our email server at IONOS to send invitations and notifications. We keep a delivery log (recipient address, time, result) for 180 days.
