6. Transfer of data
In principle, your personal data will only be passed on without your explicit prior consent in the following cases:
6.1. If necessary, to investigate illegal use of our services, or for prosecution, personal data will be passed on to the law-enforcement authorities and potentially to harmed third parties. However, this will only be the case if there are any specific indications of illegal or abusive behavior. Data may also be passed on if this serves to enforce terms and conditions of use or other agreements. We are also legally required to provide information to certain public bodies on request. These are law-enforcement authorities, public authorities that pursue administrative offences subject to fines and the tax authorities.
These data are passed on based on our legitimate interest in fighting abuse, prosecuting criminal offences and the securing, assertion and enforcement of claims and that your rights and interests in protection of your personal data are not overriding, Article 6(1) point (f) GDPR or based on a legal obligation in accordance with Article 6(1) point (c) GDPR.
6.2. We depend on contractually bound third-party companies and external service providers for rendering our services (“Data Processors”). In such cases, personal data will be passed on to such Data Processors in order to permit further processing by them. We select our Data Processors with care and review them at regular intervals to ensure that your rights and freedoms are respected. The Data Processors must only use the data for the purposes specified by us, and are furthermore contractually obligated by us to treat your data only in accordance with this Privacy Policy, and the applicable data protection laws.
In detail, we use the following Data Processors:
– OLYMPIC s.r.o. (support requests via SupportBox)
– Google LLC (Google Analytics, Google Ads, reCaptcha v3, Firebase)
Data is passed on to Processors based on Article 28(1) GDPR, alternatively based on our legitimate interest in economic and technical advantages connected to the use of specialized processors, and the fact that your rights and interests in protection of your personal data are not overriding, Article 6(1) point (f) GDPR.
6.3. We also process your data in states outside of the European Economic Area (“EEA”).
For the USA, the European Commission resolved by its decision dated 12 July 2016 that there is an adequate level of data protection under the provisions of the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield (adequacy decision, Article 45 GDPR). We use the following service providers that are certified under the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield:
– OLYMPIC s.r.o. (support requests via SupportBox)
– Google LLC
6.4. Within the scope of further development of our business, the structure of doo GmbH may be changed by amending the legal form or by founding, purchasing, or selling subsidiaries, company parts or components. In such transactions, the customer information will be passed on together with the part of the company to be transferred. Every time personal data are transferred to third parties in the scope described above, we will ensure that this is effected in compliance with this Privacy Policy and the relevant data protection laws.
Any passing on of the personal data is justified by our legitimate interest in adjusting our corporate form to the economic and legal conditions if required and by the fact that your rights and interests in protection of your personal data are not overriding, Article 6(1) point (f) GDPR.

As a rule, we store your personal data for the duration of the usage or contractual relationship concerning the website, plus a period of sixty (60) days in which we keep backup copies after erasure. In particular, we will erase your data after the periods described below in the following cases:
– Support requests to SupportBox: 120 days.
– Google Analytics: 14 months.
After the end of these periods, the data will be deleted, except if the data is needed for a longer period due to statutory archiving periods, for criminal prosecution or to secure, assert or enforce legal claims. In such a case, the data will be blocked and is no longer available for further use.
9. COPPA
The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”) is a United States federal law enacted to give parents increased control over what information is collected from their children online and how such information is used. The law applies to websites and services directed to, and which knowingly collect information from, children under the age of 13.
