3. Signup/User account
When you sign up with us, your name, address and the contract option you have selected will be stored by us. We will set up a password-protected user account for you that includes the basic data stored with us (name, address, account data, contract option, profile picture), which can thus be accessed by you. Please note that a photo of yourself is required for identification purposes in order to use the service.
The processing and storage of this data is necessary for the conclusion and performance of a contract between us and you. The processing of your personal data is therefore based on art. 6 para. 1 b) GDPR.
During the registration process we use the email service provider Mandrill to send emails messages (see below III. 2.9).
4. Transfer of data
4a) Transfer of data to Partners
If you check in with a partner, we will send them your name and user number for identification purposes. Furthermore, the partner is disclosed information about the check-in time, your membership and the course attended. Partners are sports facility operators, fitness studios, other sports clubs or other service providers whose services you can take advantage of through us. The processing of this data is necessary for the performance of our contract with you. It is therefore justified under art. 6 para. 1 b) GDPR.
4b) Transfer of data to your Employer
In addition, whenever your employer bears a part of the price of your subscription, the following applies:
Upon registration, to verify whether you’re a member of the company staff, we disclose your name and last name to your employer and ask for his confirmation. Only once we receive such confirmation, will our services be activated for you and will you be able to take advantage of your subscription fully.
This means, we in turn receive the following data from your employer: name, last name and personnel number (for verification purposes), start, duration and end of the employment.
Moreover, prior to your registry via our portal, your employer will provide us with your contact details for the purpose of informing you about the cooperation and the possibility of concluding an Urban Sports membership. The processing of the contact data serves our legitimate interest in fulfilling the contract with your employer by offering you the Corporate Fitness Program.
For the integration of your employer's personnel management tool on our portal, we use the service provider Kombo Technologies GmbH, Kottbusser Damm 25-26, 10967 Berlin (“Kombo”), provided your employer has consented to its use. You can find Kombo's privacy policy at https://www.kombo.dev/privacy-policy.
In case your employer pays part of your membership, we will disclose your first and last name, e-mail address, start, duration and end of your subscription to Urban Sports or of a particular contract and status of your subscription (M, L, XL, etc.), city and notice period.
In case your employer pays a contribution depending on whether you’ve been using our services in a certain month, we will disclose whether you’ve been active or have been checking in during the reference month. At your employer’s request, we will also disclose your membership reference number for easier billing.
Joint Controllership
When processing your personal data as described above, your employer and Urban Sports act as "joint controllers" according to art. 4 no. 7 and art. 26 GDPR. Accordingly, we enter into an agreement with your employer pursuant to art. 26 GDPR, which essentially provides for the following:
- Data collected by Urban Sports and your employer is only processed in order to, on the one hand, allow Urban Sports to provide the service requested by you within the framework of the contractual relationship with us at more favourable conditions; and, on the other hand, your employer can enable you to take advantage of our services as an employee benefit within the framework of the employment relationship. In both cases, the legal basis of the processing is therefore art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR.
- We inform you about the handling of personal data within the scope of joint responsibility pursuant to art. 13 GDPR by means of this privacy notice. Your employer will inform you about the processing of personal data falling within the scope of the joint controllership in accordance with art. 13 of the GDPR.
- Your rights according to art. 15 et seq. GDPR (see sec. V. below) can be exercised both against Urban Sports and against your employer.
If at any time you no longer wish your data to be transferred to your employer, you can achieve this by terminating your membership at the earliest possible date.
Within our company, access to your data is granted to those departments that need it in order to fulfil our contractual and legal obligations. Processors we work with (art. 28 GDPR) may also receive data for these purposes. These are companies in the categories of financial services, IT services, logistics, printing services, telecommunications, debt collection, advice and consulting as well as sales and marketing.
5. Payment
Data required for processing payments - for example your name, your account number or, if applicable, your credit card number ("payment data") - is transferred to payment service providers we work with. We do not store such data. Below you will find information about the payment providers we use.
5.1 ADYEN
For credit card and direct debit payments, we use the payment service provider Adyen B.V., Simon Carmiggeltstraat 6-50, 5th floor, 1011 DJ Amsterdam, The Netherlands ("Adyen"). The information you provide to Adyen is fully subject to Adyen's Privacy Policy and Terms of Use. You can find Adyen's privacy policy at https://www.adyen.com/home/privacy-policy.
5.2 BRAINTREE
For payment via PayPal, we use the payment service provider Braintree, which is owned by PayPal (Europe) S.à.r.l. et Cie, S.C.A. 22-24 Boulevard Royal, L-2449 Luxembourg ("PayPal"). PayPal may collect personal data such as credit card numbers when you register on the PayPal website. PayPal is solely responsible for the processing of this data. The use of PayPal services is fully subject to PayPal's privacy policy and terms of use. Braintree's privacy policy is identical to that of PayPal. Details of Braintree's privacy policy can be found at https://www.paypal.com/us/webapps/mpp/ua/privacy-full.
5.3 BILLWERK
For payment via PayPal, we also use the payment service provider BILLWERK. The privacy policy of Billwerk can be found at https://billwerk.com/datenschutz/.
6. Permissions for using our app
6.1 Camera
If you allow our app to access your phone's camera, you can use your camera to scan QR codes when checking in with our partners. If you wish, you can also use your camera to create a profile picture.
6.2 Geolocation
If you allow our app to access your position, we will receive information about your location. This is done exclusively to show you offers in your surroundings as required under the contract, in accordance with art. 6 (1) b) GDPR. Location data will not be stored.
6.3 Push notifications
Within the app, you have the option to activate or deactivate push notifications (i.e. notifications that are sent to your mobile device even while you are not currently using our app). This service is optional and offers you the opportunity to stay informed at no cost about available updates, disruptions, or other information relevant to the service. You can turn these push notifications on or off at any time using your mobile device's app settings.
When push notifications are enabled, a unique identification number assigned to your mobile device (device ID) will be shared with the service we use to send push notifications. For IOS, we receive a "Push Notification Token" through Apple which is sent to Firebase Cloud Messaging. For Android, a so-called identifier ("Advertising Identifier") is provided directly by "Firebase Cloud Messaging" for further use. In both cases, we can no longer draw conclusions about the device ID and thus about you as a user.
The following actions modify the identifier, for example:
- App is reinstalled on the same device
- App is installed on a new device
The legal basis for this service is art. 6 para. 1 b) GDPR. The storage period is equal to the duration of use of the push service.
You can find further information about Firebase Cloud Messaging here: https://firebase.google.com/docs/cloud-messaging/
7. Geolocation
If you allow our app to access your position, we will receive information about your location. This is done exclusively to show you offers in your surroundings as required under the contract, in accordance with art. 6 (1) b) GDPR. Location data will not be stored.
8. Location-based browsing
1) What is location-based browsing?
Our website uses location-based browsing to provide you with more relevant information and save you time when searching. For example, if you are looking for a partner location near you, we can use your position to make sure that your city is directly selected and only show partner locations there. Of course, you can always change this manually if you want to search for activities in other cities. You can also turn the location-based query on or off in your browser when you are asked for consent, while still using the full service.
2) How does it work?
If you agree, your browser collects data about nearby wireless access nodes and your computer's IP address. Then your browser sends this data to the default geolocation service provider to determine your approximate location. This approximate location information is then used on our homepage for this purpose.
3) How do I revoke the consent I gave?
If you have given permission to share your position and later change your mind, you can easily revoke your consent. Here's how:
- Open our homepage.
- In the Tools menu in your browser, open the Page Information item.
- Select the Permissions tab.
- Change the value for Allow access to current location.

We use Mandrill, which is an add-on for the email service provider MailChimp. MailChimp’s privacy notice can be found here: https://mailchimp.com/legal/privacy/
Mandrill sets so-called web beacons in most emails sent by Mandrill. Web beacons (also called ClearGIFs or tracking pixels) are small graphics (GIF files approximately 1x1 in size) that are used on websites or in HTML emails, among other things, to give website operators a better understanding of how visitors interact with the website. Web beacons fulfil similar functions to cookies, but are not noticeable to the user.

No personal data is collected via the web beacon.

2.10 Airship
On our website, we use the marketing features of Airship, a customer engagement platform provided by Urban Airship UK Ltd. (5 New Street Square, London, UK, EC4A 3TW, hereinafter: "Airship"). Through Airship, we can centrally manage communication and interaction with our users, in particular via app, websites, SMS, emails and mobile wallets. In addition, we can conduct multi-channel campaigns based on user behaviour and profiles, thus ensuring target group-specific and consistent marketing. "Airship" uses technologies such as cookies, tracking pixels and fingerprinting to analyse user behaviour and registration processes.
Information stored on users' terminal devices is also processed, e.g. when one of our websites was accessed and which elements users interact with. Airship processes information such as time zone, browser type and other technical parameters for the purpose of statistical evaluation and reach measurement of our advertising campaigns. When using the Airship platform for email or SMS communication, email addresses and mobile phone numbers are also processed for the purpose of communication. The legal basis for the processing of your data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) DSGVO. Further information on data protection at Airship can be found at: https://www.airship.com/legal/privacy/.

We also measure interactions on our website resulting from TV spots broadcasted thanks to the service provider spoteffects, webeffects GmbH, Knorrstr. 69, 80807 Munich ("Spoteffects").
