App privacy policy:

​

Within the framework of this privacy policy, we would like to inform you about the handling of your data in the Co-Tasker app.
 
Who can I contact?
The contact person and so-called controller for the lawfulness of the processing of your personal data within the meaning of the data protection laws is
 
Co-Tasker GmbH
Zehdenicker Str. 14
10119 Berlin 

T: +49 30 23883815
E-mail: info@co-tasker.com
 
What data does this statement refer to?
When you use or interact with our app, personal data is processed. 
 
Personal data is information about factual or personal circumstances of an identified or identifiable natural person. This primarily includes information that allows conclusions to be drawn about your identity, for example, your name, your telephone number, your address or e-mail address.
 
Statistical data that we collect, for example, when you visit our app and that cannot be directly linked to your person do not fall under the term personal data.
​
What data is processed and for what purpose? 
When downloading and installing as well as using the app, we collect the following data:
 
- When downloading and installing the app: In order to be able to download and install our app from an app store (e.g. Google Play Store or Apple App Store), you must first register for a user account with the app store provider and conclude a corresponding usage agreement with them. We have no influence on this, in particular, we are not a party to such a user contract. When downloading and installing the app, the necessary information is transferred to the respective app store, in particular your user name, your e-mail address and the customer number of your account, the time of the download and the individual device identification number. We have no influence on this data collection and are not responsible for it. We only process this provided data insofar as this is necessary for downloading and installing the app on your mobile end device (e.g. smartphone, tablet). 
 
- When using the app: If you merely open the app without interacting with it or entering data, we do not collect any personal data, with the exception of that which your device transmits to enable you to call it up. This is a necessary technical process, during which the following data is transmitted:
 
- Operating system used (e.g. Android or iOS). 
- Device type 
- IP/MAC address 
- Date and time of the request 
- Time zone difference to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) 
- Content of the request (specific page) 
- Access status/HTTP status code 
- Amount of data transferred in each case
- Version of the Co-Tasker App
 
The IP addresses are deleted or anonymised after use. In the case of anonymisation, the IP addresses are changed in such a way that the person concerned cannot be identified or can no longer be identified. The data in technical logs (so-called log files) are evaluated by us in anonymised form in order to further improve our apps and websites and make them more user-friendly, as well as to find and correct errors more quickly. In addition, they are used to control server capacities in order to be able to provide corresponding data volumes if necessary.
 
The data processing is necessary so that you can initially inform yourself about the contents of our app. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f of the General Data Protection Regulation. The processing of the aforementioned data is necessary for the provision of the content. Otherwise, you would not be able to use the app as desired.
 
- When registering in the app: The Co-Tasker app serves as a platform for the provision of services. Users can tender the provision of services in exchange for payment. Other users can apply for the provision of these services. In order to post services or view services posted by other users, users must first register with Co-Tasker and create a user profile. When registering on Co-Tasker, the following data must be entered:
 
- First name/last name
- E-mail address
- Telephone number
- City of residence
 
Co-Tasker mediates personal services between users. This personal component makes it necessary to create a special basis of trust between the users. A prerequisite for this is that user profiles can be clearly assigned to specific individuals. If you wish to apply for the provision of advertised services, it is, therefore, necessary that your identity is verified by Co-Tasker beforehand. For this purpose we need the following information from you:
​
- Full address
- Date of birth
- Gender
- Nationality
- Country of residence
- Different billing addresses, if applicable
- Copy of identity card or comparable document (will be deleted after verification)
- Portrait photo of you for comparison
- Profile picture  
- Brief description of yourself
- Skills
- Language skills
 
To simplify the billing process, you can also provide us with your tax number. This information is provided voluntarily, unless we are required to collect it as part of our legal obligations under the Platform Tax Transparency Act (PStTG); see below. 
 
We use this information to operate, maintain and improve the Co-Tasker services and to establish the trust between users that is necessary for the provision of personal services. Trust between users is particularly important for the provision of the services offered on Co-Tasker, therefore it is necessary that potential contractual partners can be identified as accurately as possible by Co-Tasker as well as by other users with the help of their provided data already before the tendering or provision of a service. The data is stored in your customer account and can also be updated there. At the same time, your e-mail address or your telephone number in combination with a one-time password sent by e-mail or SMS serves as an access identification. In addition, Co-Tasker can contact you by e-mail or SMS if this should be necessary for the provision of a service or for another important reason. Furthermore, the data is used for the processing of payments.
 
The data processing is necessary to conclude a contract between you and Co-Tasker and other users of Co-Tasker as well as for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b of the General Data Protection Regulation. 
 
As a platform operator, we are subject to the statutory provisions of the PStTG. If you apply to perform advertised services, the following data will therefore be collected or processed in connection with the statutory reporting obligations incumbent on us under the PStTG:
- First and last name
- Full address
- Date of birth
- Country of residence within the EU
- Tax identification number and the EU member state that issued the tax number or, if no tax number is available, place of birth 
- If available, identification number for turnover tax purposes.

If the activities you offer are reportable, we will report them to the Federal Central Tax Office (BZSt) in accordance with the provisions of Sect. 13 ff. PStTG.
Reportable within the meaning of the PStTG are users who are registered on the platform, engage in relevant activities under the PStTG, and are not exempt. The provision of personal services is one of the relevant activities under the PStTG.
In addition to the data listed above, the following data also constitutes reportable information under the PStTG and is therefore processed by us in connection with the reporting obligation: 

- Any fees, commissions or taxes withheld or charged by us in any quarter of the reporting period
- Total remuneration paid or credited in each quarter of the reporting period
- The number of relevant activities for which remuneration was paid or credited in each quarter of the reporting period.

The legal basis for this data processing is Art. 6(1) Sentence 1(c) GDPR, as the processing is necessary to fulfil our reporting obligation pursuant to Sect. 13 ff. PStTG.
 
- When tendering and providing services: If you tender a service or provide it for another user, Co-Tasker collects the following data:
 
- Name, type and special requirements of the service
- Status of the service
- Place and time of the service
- Price of the service
- Transaction information related to the service
- Public comments regarding the service
- Subsequent modification or cancellation of the service
- Exchange of messages in text and images between users
- Mutual user ratings after the service has been provided. 
 
This data is used to communicate the details of the service to be provided and to demonstrate the scope of the service owed. The legal basis for the collection of the above data is Art. 6(1)(b) of the General Data Protection Regulation.
 
- When using the customer service: If you contact customer service via the app, Co-Tasker collects the following data:
 
- Content of the message to the customer service
- Time and language of the message to the customer service
​
This data is used to review and respond to user concerns. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f of the General Data Protection Regulation.
Through the app, you can contact our customer service. To ensure efficient processing of your inquiries, we use the Intercom Help Center service provided by Intercom, 55 2nd Street, 4th Floor, San Francisco, CA 94105, United States, as part of our customer service.
When using the Intercom Help Center website, the following Intercom cookies and tools are used:

- Intercom-id-[app_id]; Storage duration: 9 months; Purpose: Identifies visitors to a website or application where the Help Center is installed, linking them with Help Center sessions.

- Intercom-session-[app_id]; Storage duration: 1 week; Purpose: Allows logged-in end users to record their reactions to Help Center articles, access restricted Help Center articles, and view their tickets.
 

- intercom.intercom-state-[app_id]; Storage duration: permanent; Purpose: When customers activate the Intercom Messenger in their Help Center, the browser’s web storage is used to cache Messenger application data and visitor data so that the Messenger can load sufficiently after a page reload.
The legal basis for data processing in connection with contacting customer service and the associated transfer of data to Intercom is Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR.
We have entered into a data processing agreement with Intercom. Your personal data may also be transferred to the USA by Intercom. We have established standard contractual clauses with Intercom (Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/914; Module 2) in accordance with Article 46(2)(c) of the GDPR.
Further information can be found in Intercom's privacy notice: https://www.intercom.com/legal/product-privacy-notice.

​

When using the chat functions: If you use the chat function via app, Co-Tasker monitors this using digital assistance systems: 

​

We use advanced digital systems as part of the monitoring of our customer chats that take place on our platform. These are used to ensure compliance with our Community Guidelines and General Terms and Conditions (GTC) and to detect and prevent any suspicious or criminal activity. Our systems analyse the conversations taking place in the chats to identify events that could indicate rule violations or criminal behaviour.

​

During this analysis, the chats are checked for relevant keywords, phrases and other indicators. The insights and alerts generated by the system are always reviewed by our employees. In this way, we ensure that appropriate and relevant measures are taken based on the results of the digital systems.

In this context, we only process personal data that is collected in the course of using our chat function. This includes user names, chat histories and communication timestamps. This data is always processed in strict compliance with the applicable data protection laws and is designed to ensure both the security of our platform and the security and privacy of our users.
The legal basis for the processing of chat data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f of the General Data Protection Regulation, based on our legitimate interest in analysing the chats with regard to compliance with the Community Policy to protect our users from criminal offences and other misconduct. You have the option of objecting to the processing of your data for this purpose by contacting the contact person named above ("Who can I contact?").

 
Reporting and redress procedures - We also process personal data to fulfil legal obligations, including those arising from the Digital Services Act. This includes in particular the recording, review, evaluation and further processing of reports or complaints regarding illegal content as part of the reporting and redress procedure we have set up, including checking whether these reports or complaints from the same user are often obviously unfounded and including notifying the reporting person and any users affected by measures. This applies in particular to the processing of contact data and the content of forms provided by reporters as part of the reporting and redress procedure. Personal data may also be transmitted to other parties involved in the reporting and redress procedure and to law enforcement or judicial authorities to the extent necessary.

The legal basis for processing in this respect is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c, para. 3 GDPR in conjunction with the provisions of the Digital Services Act (Regulation (EU) 2022/2065), in particular Art. 16 et seq.

 

- When subscribing to the newsletter: When subscribing to the newsletter, your email address will be used for our own advertising purposes until you unsubscribe from the newsletter. To subscribe to our newsletter, we use the so-called double opt-in procedure, i.e. we will only send you a newsletter by e-mail if you confirm in our notification e-mail by clicking on a link that you would like to receive our newsletter. You can unsubscribe at any time by clicking on the link provided in the newsletter. We use your e-mail address exclusively to send you our newsletter for our own advertising purposes.
 
The legal basis for this is your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a of the General Data Protection Regulation. 

​

When participating in the referral program: 

​

If you participate in our referral program, we process the following data: 

- First name/last name

- Promo code 
- Time of application of the promo code 
- Services for which the discount was applied to the order

​

Data processing is necessary for the performance of the contract for participation in the referral program.

​

 The processing of information on the time of use of the codes, the services for which the code was used when ordering, the number of people who have used the code after recommendation and the validity period of discounts is necessary to ensure the implementation of the referral program in accordance with the conditions of participation.

​

The legal basis for this data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b of the General Data Protection Regulation.
 
​
Where can I access my data?

If you have registered as a Co-Tasker customer and are logged into the app, you can view your usage history and your stored data in your profile. To log in, you need your e-mail address or your telephone number and a one-time password sent by e-mail or SMS as an access code. When you register with us, we store the data required for registration as well as the voluntary data you provide for the time you are a customer with us.

- Microphone: If given the appropriate permission, Co-Tasker can access the microphone of your mobile device. This feature is used for recording videos as well as voice messages.
 
When will my data be deleted? 
In principle, we only store personal data for as long as is necessary to fulfil contractual or legal obligations for which we collected the data. After that, we delete the data immediately, unless we still need the data until the expiry of the statutory limitation period for evidence purposes for claims under civil law or due to statutory retention obligations.
 
Profile data from your customer profile is used to store information for future use of Co-Tasker. You will be able to access your stored data at a later date, therefore your data from the customer account will not be deleted until you contact us with the request for deletion.
 
Will my data be passed on?

3.6 Meta Pixel 

 

Our websites use the “Meta-Pixel” service for marketing purposes, which is provided for persons outside the USA and Canada by Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland and for all other persons by Meta Platforms Inc, 1601 Willow Road, Menlo Park, California 94025, USA (together “Meta Platforms”).

 

We use Meta-Pixel to analyse the general use of our websites (especially “events”) and to track the effectiveness of advertising (“conversion tracking”). In addition, we use Meta-Pixel to play you individualised advertising messages on the social networks of Meta Platforms (such as Facebook and Instagram) based on your interest in our products (“retargeting”). This also involves target group remarketing through Custom Audience. The data generated in this context may be transferred by Meta Platforms to a server in the USA for analysis and stored there.

 

Meta Platforms processes data for this purpose that the service collects via JavaScript, cookies and other technologies on our websites. This includes in particular:

 

• HTTP header information such as information about the browser used (e.g. user agent, language);

• Information on events such as “page view”, other object properties and buttons clicked by visitors to the website;

• Online identifiers such as, but not limited to, IP addresses and, where provided, Facebook business-related identifiers or device IDs (such as mobile operating system ad IDs), as well as ad tracking disable/restriction status information.

The following cookie is set and read by Meta-Pixel for the specified purpose with the respective storage period:

 

• "“_fbp"” (2 years): Usage analysis and retargeting;

The legal basis for this data processing is your consent in accordance with Art. 6(1) letter a GDPR. Access to and storage of information in the terminal device then takes place on the basis of the implementation laws of the ePrivacy Directive of the EU member states, in Germany according to § 25(1)  TTDSG. 

 

For matching, measurement and analytics services, in particular for analysing the use of our website, matching user ID and reporting on our advertising campaigns, Meta Platforms acts as our processor. Therefore, we have entered into a data processing agreement with Meta Platforms Ireland Limited. 

 

In addition, we and Meta Platforms are jointly responsible for the processing of event data for the targeting of advertisements (through the creation and selection of target groups), the delivery of commercial and transactional messages, the improvement of ad delivery and the personalisation of functions and content within the framework of the use of Meta-Pixel. The mutual obligations in this regard have been set out in a joint contract, which can be accessed at the following address: https://www.facebook.com/legal/controller_addendum

 

In addition, Meta Platforms also processes the Event Data for the protection and security of Meta Platforms’ products, for research and development purposes and for maintaining the integrity of and improving the products.

 

If you are a member of Facebook or Instagram and have allowed Meta Platforms to do so via your account’s privacy settings, Facebook or Instagram may also link the information collected about your visit to us to your member account and use it to target advertising. You can view and change the privacy settings of your Facebook profile at any time: https://www.facebook.com/settings/?tab=ads

 

You can prevent the linking of data collected outside of Instagram for the display of personalised advertising in Instagram as follows: https://de-de.facebook.com/help/instagram/2885653514995517?locale=de_DE

 

If you have not consented to the use of Meta-Pixel, Meta Platforms will only display generic advertisements that are not selected based on the information collected about you on this website.

4. Data transfer to third countries 

 

As explained in this privacy policy, we use services whose providers are partly located in so-called third countries (outside the European Union or the European Economic Area) or process personal data there, i.e. countries whose level of data protection does not correspond to that of the European Union. Where this is the case and the European Commission has not issued an adequacy decision (Art. 45 GDPR) for these countries, we have taken appropriate precautions to ensure an adequate level of data protection for any data transfers. These include, among others, the standard contractual clauses of the European Union or binding internal data protection regulations.

 

Where this is not possible, we base the transfer of data on exceptions according to Art. 49 GDPR, in particular your explicit consent or the necessity of the transfer for the performance of the contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures.

 

If a third country transfer is provided for and no adequacy decision or appropriate safeguards are in place, it is possible and there is a risk that authorities in the respective third country (e.g. intelligence services) may gain access to the transferred data in order to collect and analyse it, and that enforceability of your data subject rights cannot be guaranteed. When obtaining your consent via the consent banner, you will also be informed of this.

 

5. Storage period

In principle, we only store personal data for as long as is necessary to fulfil contractual or legal obligations for which we have collected the data.

​

We then delete the data immediately, unless we still need the data until the expiry of the statutory limitation period for evidence purposes for claims under civil law or due to statutory retention obligations.

 

6. Your rights

You have the right to information about the processing of your personal data by us at any time. In this context, we will explain the data processing to you and provide you with an overview of the data stored about your person. If any data stored by us is incorrect or no longer up to date, you have the right to have this data corrected. You can also request the deletion of your data. If deletion is exceptionally not possible due to other legal provisions, the data will be blocked so that it is only available for this legal purpose. You can also have the processing of your personal data restricted if, for example, the accuracy of the data is doubted on your part. You also have the right to data portability, which means that we will provide you with a digital copy of the personal data you have provided to us upon request.
To exercise your rights described here, you can contact us at any time using the contact details above. This also applies if you wish to receive copies of guarantees demonstrating an adequate level of data protection. 

You have the right to revoke your consent at any time. This means that we will no longer process the data based on this consent in the future. The revocation of consent does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until the revocation.

If we process your data on the basis of legitimate interests, you have the right to object to the processing of your data at any time on grounds relating to your particular situation. If you object to the processing of your data for direct marketing purposes, you have a general right of objection, which we will also implement without giving reasons. 

If you wish to exercise your right of revocation or objection, it is sufficient to send an informal message to the contact details above.

Finally, you have the right to complain to the data protection supervisory authority responsible for us. You can exercise this right before a supervisory authority in the member state of your place of residence, your place of work or the place of the alleged infringement.

​

In Berlin, where Co-Tasker is based, the competent supervisory authority is: Berliner Beauftragte für Datenschutz und Informationsfreiheit, Friedrichstr. 219, 10969 Berlin.
