Types of data collected and purposes of processing

We process personal data only where this is necessary for the provision and security of blackout-tip.com, for communication with users, for downloads, payments, donations, technical functions or legal obligations.

Data that you actively provide: This may include in particular name, email address, phone number, message texts, payment information, donation information, download requests, language settings or other details that you transmit to us via forms, payment processes, emails or other contact channels. We use this data to process your enquiry, provide digital content, process payments, communicate with you and fulfil legal or contractual obligations.

Automatically collected technical data: When visiting the website, IP address, date and time of access, pages accessed, referrer URL, browser type, browser version, operating system, device information, amount of data transferred and server status codes may be processed for technical reasons. This data serves the technical provision of the website, error analysis, system security, misuse detection and stability of the service.

We do not use personal data for hidden user profiles, for automated decisions with legal effect or for selling personal data to third parties.

Legal bases of processing

Personal data is processed only on the basis of a permissible legal basis. Depending on the processing, the following legal bases in particular may be relevant:

Consent: If processing requires consent, it takes place only after prior consent. This may apply in particular to optional services, newsletters, analytics functions, marketing functions or external content if such functions are used in the future. Consent given can be withdrawn at any time with effect for the future.

Contract fulfilment and pre-contractual measures: If you purchase paid downloads, access digital content, make a payment, submit an enquiry or use another service, we process the data required for carrying out the respective process.

Legal obligation: Certain data may be processed or retained where legal obligations exist, in particular tax, accounting, commercial law or official retention and documentation obligations.

Legitimate interests: We may process data where this is necessary to secure the website, prevent misuse, analyse errors, perform technical maintenance, enforce claims or ensure proper communication and where no overriding interests of the affected person conflict with this.

Where national data protection regulations of the Dominican Republic or other mandatory applicable regulations additionally apply, we comply with them to the extent required in each case.

Cookies and technical functions

blackout-tip.com currently uses only technically necessary cookies and comparable technical functions where these are required for the operation of the website, security, language settings, forms, sessions, login functions, download access or payment processes.

Essential cookies: These may include in particular session cookies, security cookies, CSRF protection mechanisms, language settings, login or admin sessions and technical features for detecting form misuse. These functions are necessary so that the website works securely and reliably.

Analytics, statistics, marketing or advertising cookies are currently not used unless they are expressly activated on the website and explained accordingly in advance.

A cookie banner is generally not required for purely technically necessary cookies. If optional cookies, external tracking services, advertising networks, embedded external content or comparable services are used in the future, they will be integrated only in accordance with the applicable legal requirements.

You can delete, block or restrict cookies through your browser settings. This may restrict individual functions of the website, in particular forms, login areas, language settings or download functions.

Technically necessary cookies are stored only for as long as required for the respective purpose or as specified by the technical function.

Disclosure of personal data

Personal data is disclosed only where this is necessary for the respective purpose, where a legal obligation exists, consent has been given or a legitimate interest exists.

For the technical operation of the website, data may be processed by hosting providers, server service providers, technical maintenance providers or security services. This processing takes place only to the extent required.

For emails, contact enquiries, automatic confirmations or system messages, mail servers, email service providers or technical dispatch services may be used.

For paid downloads, payments or donations, payment data may be transmitted to the respectively integrated payment service provider, in particular PayPal or a comparable provider. The privacy and terms of use of the respective payment service provider also apply to payment processing.

For affiliate links or product recommendations, personal data is generally not actively transmitted by us to the retailer. However, if you click an external link, you leave our website. From that point on, the privacy policy of the respective external provider applies.

Disclosure to authorities, courts, tax advisers, legal advisers or other bodies may take place if we are legally obliged to do so or if this is necessary to preserve, exercise or defend legal claims.

International data transfer

Corporacion Lutz S.R.L. is based in the Dominican Republic. Depending on the origin of the user, hosting structure, payment service provider, email communication or external service, personal data may be processed or transferred outside the country in which the user is located.

For users from the European Union or the European Economic Area, this may constitute a transfer to a third country within the meaning of the GDPR. In such cases, we ensure that transfer takes place only where it is necessary for the respective purpose or where a suitable legal basis exists.

For payment services, in particular PayPal or comparable payment providers, data processing may be carried out by the respective provider in its own systems and, where applicable, in several countries. The privacy information of the payment service provider is also authoritative.

Clicking external affiliate links, retailer pages or other third-party offers may also result in data processing by providers outside your country. We have no influence on this once you have left our website.

Storage period

We store personal data only for as long as required for the respective purpose or as long as statutory retention obligations exist.

Contact enquiries and email communication are stored for as long as this is necessary to process the enquiry, follow up the communication or preserve legitimate interests.

Data relating to paid downloads, payments, donations or business transactions may be stored for longer due to tax, accounting or legal obligations.

Technical server log files are generally stored only for as long as this is necessary for security, error analysis, misuse detection and proper operation of the website.

Session data and technically necessary cookies are generally deleted after the end of the session or after expiry of the technically intended storage period.

Download access, download IDs, payment status, transaction references or comparable technical evidence may be stored for as long as this is necessary for provision, traceability, prevention of misuse or legal documentation.

Data that is no longer required and for which no retention obligation exists will be deleted or anonymised.

If deletion is not immediately possible in an individual case, processing will be restricted where possible.

Rights of affected persons

Affected persons may assert certain rights in relation to their personal data within the framework of the respectively applicable data protection laws.

This may in particular include the right to obtain information about whether and which personal data concerning them is being processed.

Affected persons may request the rectification of incorrect or incomplete personal data.

Under certain conditions, the deletion of personal data may be requested.

Under certain conditions, restriction of processing may be requested.

Where processing is based on consent, this consent may be withdrawn at any time with effect for the future.

Where processing is based on legitimate interests, objection to the processing may be lodged under certain conditions.

Where provided by law, a right to data portability may exist.

Affected persons may also complain to a competent data protection supervisory authority or another competent body if they believe that the processing of their personal data violates applicable data protection law.

To exercise your rights, you can contact us at [privacy@corporacionlutz.com](mailto:privacy@corporacionlutz.com).

So that we can correctly assign requests and avoid unauthorised disclosure, it may be necessary to verify the identity of the requesting person in an appropriate manner.

Exercising statutory data protection rights is generally free of charge. However, in the case of manifestly unfounded or excessively frequent requests, legally permissible restrictions or measures may apply.

Data security

We use technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against loss, misuse, unauthorised access, alteration or disclosure.

• Use of secure server and hosting structures within the scope of available technical possibilities.
• Use of security mechanisms such as CSRF protection, session protection and form protection against automated misuse.
• Restriction of access to administrative areas and internal functions.
• Processing of personal data only by authorised persons or service providers where this is necessary.
• Regular technical maintenance, error analysis and security checks of the website.

Despite all security measures, data transmission over the internet can never be guaranteed to be completely risk-free.

Users should carefully protect their own access data, download links, payment confirmations and email communication and should not transmit sensitive information where this is not necessary.
