Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable person. These are data that clearly identify a person (e.g. name) or allow conclusions to be drawn about a person (e.g. a person's hobby).
The legal basis for the processing of personal data can either be the member’s express consent or one of the bases specified in the applicable data protection laws, in particular the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG).
The programme operator collects data about each visit to the myspots website (so-called server log files). This data includes: IP address, names of the websites accessed within the myspots website or outside, file, date and time of access, amount of data transferred, notification of successful access, browser type including version, the operating system of the device, referrer URL (previously visited page), IP address and the requesting provider as well as when using a mobile device: country code, language, device name, name of the operating system and version.
The programme operator only uses the collected data for statistical evaluations for the purpose of programme, security and optimization of the myspots website. However, the programme operator reserve the right to subsequently check the collected data if there is a justified suspicion of illegal use based on concrete indications. The collected data is processed on the legal basis of Art. 6 (1) f. GDPR, whereby our legitimate interests in marketing as well as quality assurance and fraud prevention are pursued.
When a member registers on the myspots website, the programme operator first collects and stores the member’s main data (name, e-mail address and password), the IP address, a browser fingerprint and the advertising campaign that brought you to our myspots website (if any). This data is used for the purpose of registering on the myspots website, verifying the e-mail address (double opt-in) and checking for multiple registrations. The data is processed on the legal basis of Art. 6 (1) b. GDPR.
Member’s profile details
After the member has successfully registered, the member can voluntarily provide additional information (e.g. age, gender, education, occupation, etc.). The programme operator uses the profile data to match suitable members for surveys, on the basis of which the operator sends invitations to participate in surveys. The data is processed on the legal basis of Art. 6 (1) b. or a. GDPR based on the member’s express consent.
The member can object to the use of the additional information at any time with effect for the future and view, delete and change this data at any time in the members account.
After the member’s successful registration, all activities such as survey participation and changes in the member account, e.g. answering profile questions, are saved. This data is used to better select members for surveys, to calculate the probability of participating in surveys, as well as for quality assurance and to support members with queries. The members can view this data at any time in your user account. The data is processed on the legal basis of Art. 6 (1) b. or f. GDPR, whereby our legitimate interest of quality assurance is pursued.
As soon as the member is registered, the member might be asked to voluntarily enter the bank details so that the credit accumulated by participating in surveys can be paid out to the member. The account connection data is only collected, stored and used for billing purposes. The data is processed on the legal basis of Art. 6 (1) b. or a. GDPR based on your express consent.
The member can object to the use of this bank data at any time with effect for the future and view, delete and change this data at any time in the members account.
Alternatively, the member can select the “Donate" function, in which case the member’s bank account details will not be required.
To protect the member account from unauthorized fraudulent activity, the programme operator might implement proof of identit. This gives the members the opportunity to authenticate themselves once as a real user by linking the member account to the bank account or mobile phone number. Authentication is carried out by entering a bank account that corresponds to the country of the panel used, or by entering a mobile phone number from the country of the panel used.
The member e-mail address and the member name will be used to invite the member to surveys and to inform the member about the member account and general information about programme. The data is processed on the legal basis of Art. 6 (1) b. GDPR.
When the member contacts the programme operator (e.g. by e-mail), the member’s name, e-mail address and request will be saved for processing the request and in the event that follow-up questions arise. The data is processed on the legal basis of Art. 6 (1) b. GDPR.
After successful registration, the programme operator invites the member to market and opinion research surveys by e-mail or mobile phone app notification. There is the possibility that the surveys are carried out as part of a research community with companies in the field of market and opinion research, on our behalf or by us alone. The data is processed on the legal basis of Art. 6 (1) b. GDPR when you take a survey.
In principle, the programme operator only transmits personal data to third parties if this is permitted by law or if the member has given his/her consent.
Cookies might be used on the myspots website. On one hand, the cookies serve the user-friendliness of the myspots website. On the other hand, the cookies serve to collect statistical data from the myspots website and to be able to analyze it for the purpose of improvement.

When the member visits the myspots website, so-called session cookies are used. The session cookies are required in order to assign successive page views to you so that you can be logged in and access your information on the myspots website. The legal basis for the use of cookies is Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter a. GDPR.
The members have the right to revoke the consent of the processing of the data at any time. If the consent is revoked, the programme operator will arrange for the deletion (or restriction of processing) of all the personal data and information of the member. As long as this is necessary for the programme operator to pursue claims or due to legal retention requirements, the data must then remain stored in a blocked form and will no longer be processed.
