Last updated: August 1, 2026

This English version is provided for convenience. In case of discrepancies, the German version prevails.

1. Controller

The controller within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is:

[Firmenname inkl. Rechtsform / Company name incl. legal form]
[Straße und Hausnummer / Street and number]
[PLZ und Ort / ZIP and city]
Email: elevate@ingage.institute

2. Overview

This Privacy Policy explains which personal data we process when you visit this website and when you apply for the Elevate Beta, for which purposes, on which legal basis, and which rights you have.

3. Hosting and Server Log Files

When you visit this website, the web server automatically processes information transmitted by your browser (server log files): IP address, date and time of the request, page accessed, referrer URL, browser type and version, and operating system. This data is technically required to provide and secure the website.

Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in securely providing the website). The log files are processed by our hosting provider [insert hosting provider], with whom a data processing agreement pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR is in place. Log files are deleted after [e.g. 14 days].

Web fonts and all other resources required to display the site are served locally from our own server; no data is transferred to third parties for this purpose.

4. Application for the Elevate Beta

If you apply for the Beta via the form, we process the following information:

Purposes: reviewing and processing your application, selecting Beta participants, and contacting you by email in connection with the Beta.

Legal bases: your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) and the performance of pre-contractual measures (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR). You can withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future, e.g. by email to elevate@ingage.institute.

Retention: We store your application data until a decision has been made about your participation or until the end of the Beta program, but no longer than 12 months after your application – unless you withdraw your consent earlier or statutory retention obligations require longer storage.

The form is transmitted to our email inbox; recipients are exclusively the staff involved in the Beta program.

5. Review of Public LinkedIn Content (Setup Service)

If you are selected for the Beta, we review – as described on the website – your publicly accessible LinkedIn posts and comments in order to create your personal prompt (style, voice, offer). In doing so, we exclusively process content of your LinkedIn profile that you yourself have made public.

Legal bases: performance of the Beta usage relationship concluded with you (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR) or your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). The data is deleted after the prompt has been created or after your Beta participation ends.

6. Cookies and Consent Management

This website itself does not set any tracking cookies. Technically necessary storage (e.g. your choice in the consent banner, stored in your browser's local storage) is based on Section 25(2) of the German TDDDG. Services requiring consent (see Sections 7 and 8) are only loaded after you activate them via the consent banner (Section 25(1) TDDDG, Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You can change or withdraw your choice at any time via the "Cookie settings" link in the footer.

7. YouTube Videos (Two-Click Solution)

A video from YouTube is embedded on the website. The video is only loaded when you actively start it or enable the "External media" category in the consent banner. Only then is data (including your IP address) transferred to Google. We use the privacy-enhanced mode ("youtube-nocookie.com").

Provider: Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland; parent company: Google LLC, USA. A transfer to the USA is possible; it is based on the adequacy decision for the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, of which Google LLC is a member.

Legal basis: your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR, Section 25(1) TDDDG); withdrawal at any time via the cookie settings. More information: Google Privacy Policy.

8. Meta Pixel (Only With Consent)

If activated, we use the Meta Pixel of Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, Merrion Road, Dublin 4, Ireland ("Meta") on this website to measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns. The pixel is only loaded if you enable the "Marketing" category in the consent banner.

Data (including IP address, browser information, pages visited, event data) may be transferred to Meta and processed – including in the USA. The transfer to the USA is based on the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, of which Meta Platforms, Inc. is a member. We are jointly responsible with Meta for the collection and transmission of event data (Art. 26 GDPR); the essential contents of the agreement are available here. Meta is solely responsible for the subsequent processing.

Legal basis: your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR, Section 25(1) TDDDG); withdrawal at any time via the cookie settings. More information: Meta Privacy Policy.

9. Recipients and Third-Country Transfers

Recipients of personal data are our hosting provider (processor) and – only with your consent – Google (YouTube) and Meta. Transfers to third countries (USA) only take place within the scope of Sections 7 and 8. Beyond that, we do not share your data with third parties unless we are legally obliged to do so.

10. Your Rights

With regard to your personal data, you have the following rights vis-à-vis us:

To exercise your rights, an email to elevate@ingage.institute is sufficient. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority (Art. 77 GDPR), e.g. the authority of your habitual residence or of our registered office.

11. Right to Object (Art. 21 GDPR)

Where we process data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, you have the right to object to the processing at any time on grounds relating to your particular situation. We will then no longer process the data unless there are compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing serves to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims.

12. Data Security

This website uses TLS encryption (HTTPS). We also take appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your data against loss, misuse, and unauthorized access.

13. Changes to this Privacy Policy

We will update this Privacy Policy when the legal situation, the website, or the data processing changes. The current version published here applies.
