DSGVO. The entries marked as obligatory in online forms are required for the conclusion of the contract.

Within the scope of registration and renewed logins and use of our online services, we store the IP address and the time of the respective user action. The storage is based on our legitimate interests as well as the user’s need for protection against misuse and other unauthorized use. This data will not be passed on to third parties unless it is necessary to pursue our claims or there is a legal obligation to do so in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. c DSGVO.

Deletion takes place after the expiry of legal warranty and comparable obligations, the necessity of data storage is reviewed every three years; in the case of legal archiving obligations, deletion takes place after their expiry (end of commercial (6 years) and tax (10 years) storage obligation); information in the customer account remains until its deletion.

Contact us

When contacting us (via contact form or e-mail), the user’s details are processed for the purpose of handling the contact request and its processing in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b) DSGVO.

The user’s details may be stored in our customer relationship management system (“CRM system”) or comparable inquiry organisation.

We use the CRM system “sevDesk” of the provider SEVENIT GmbH (Hauptstraße 40, 77652 Offenburg, Germany) on the basis of our legitimate interests (efficient and fast processing of user inquiries). For this purpose, we have concluded a contract with sevDesk with so-called standard contract clauses in which sevDesk undertakes to process the user data only in accordance with our instructions and to comply with the EU data protection level.

We shall delete the requests if they are no longer required. We review the necessity every two years. We permanently store inquiries from customers who have a customer account and refer to the customer account details for deletion. In the case of legal archiving obligations, the deletion takes place after their expiry (end of commercial law (6 years) and tax law (10 years) retention obligation).

Forum

With a user account you can, for example, participate in discussions in our forum or comment on editorial articles.

1. we process inventory data (e.g. your e-mail address) as well as contract data for the purpose of fulfilling our contractual obligations and services in accordance with Art. 6 Par. 1 lit b DSGVO. The storage of the content published by you and its provision is based on our legitimate interest in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO.

2. during the registration the necessary mandatory data, reduced to a minimum, result from the displayed form. In the course of registration we will send you an e-mail asking you to confirm your e-mail address by clicking on a link. This confirmation is necessary so that no one can register with foreign e-mail addresses (so-called double opt-in procedure). The time of the Double-Opt-In as well as the IP address used for this purpose must be recorded by us due to legal requirements on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c DSGVO in order to be able to prove the Double-Opt-In.

3. during registration and when using your user account (especially when writing forum posts) we save your IP address and the respective time in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO for 7 days, because we as well as you and other users have a legitimate interest in protection against abuse and other unauthorized use. In particular, if illegal content is published, it must be possible to determine the identity of the author in order to enable criminal prosecution or to be able to assert claims against us even against the author. After the mentioned period the IP addresses will be anonymized or deleted. IP addresses whose further storage is exceptionally required for evidential purposes are excluded from anonymization or deletion until the respective incident has been finally clarified.

4. you can arrange for your user account to be deleted, provided that no applicable law stands in the way. Content published by you (especially forum posts) will be retained after deletion, provided that no applicable law prevents this. All other data that does not have to be stored or retained for legal reasons in accordance with Art. 6 Par. 1 lit. c DSGVO will be completely deleted when your user account is deleted.

5) If your user account has been blocked due to repeated or serious violations of the rules, we can refuse to delete it because we have a legitimate interest in the sense of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO to prevent the creation of further user accounts to circumvent the block in order to protect other users and our technical infrastructure.

6. rights of use for threads and postings

With the publication of own contributions and threads in the forum, the author grants the forum operator a non-exclusive and free of charge right of use of his content, unlimited in space, time and content. This includes in particular the right of reproduction and distribution and there is also no right to delete contributions, even if the author has his account deleted.

7. comment function in the blog on the website

The operator offers users the possibility to leave individual comments on individual blog posts on a blog located on the website of the data controller. A blog is a portal maintained on an Internet page, usually publicly accessible, where one or more persons, called bloggers or web bloggers, can post articles or write down thoughts in so-called blog posts. The blog posts can usually be commented by third parties.

If a person concerned leaves a comment in the blog published on this website, in addition to the comments left by the person concerned, information on the time of the comment entry as well as the user name (pseudonym) chosen by the person concerned are stored and published. Furthermore, the IP address assigned to the person concerned by the Internet Service Provider (ISP) is also logged. This storage of the IP address is done for security reasons and in the event that the person concerned violates the rights of third parties or posts illegal content through a comment submitted. The storage of this personal data is therefore in the own interest of the person responsible for the processing, so that he/she could be exculpated in case of a violation of the law. The personal data collected will not be passed on to third parties, unless such a transfer is required by law or serves the legal defense of the person responsible for processing.

Comments and contributions

If users leave comments or other contributions, their IP addresses will be deleted on the basis of our legitimate interests as defined in Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. DSGVO for 60 days.

This is done for our security in case someone leaves illegal content in comments and contributions (insults, prohibited political propaganda, etc.). In this case we can be prosecuted ourselves for the comment or contribution and are therefore interested in the identity of the author.

Retrieval of profile pictures at Gravatar

We use within our online offer and especially in our blog the service Gravatar, Automattic, Inc. 132 Hawthorne Street San Francisco, CA 94107, USA.

Gravatar is a service where users can register and store profile pictures and their e-mail addresses. If users leave contributions or comments on other websites (especially blogs) using their e-mail address, their profile pictures can be displayed next to the contributions or comments. For this purpose, the e-mail address provided by the user is transmitted in encrypted form to Gravatar for the purpose of checking whether a profile is stored for it. This is the only purpose of transmitting the e-mail address and it will not be used for any other purpose, but will be deleted afterwards.

Gravatar is used on the basis of our legitimate interests in the sense of Art. 6 Para. 1 letter f) DSGVO, because with the help of Gravatar we offer the possibility to personalize contributions and comments with a profile picture.

Automattic is certified under the Privacy-Shield Agreement and thus offers a guarantee to comply with European data protection law (https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt0000000CbqcAAC&status=Active).

By displaying the images, Gravatar obtains the IP address of the user, as this is necessary for communication between a browser and an online service. For more information about Gravatar’s collection and use of this information, please refer to Automattic’s privacy policy at https://automattic.com/privacy/.

If users do not want a user image associated with their email address to appear in Gravatar’s comments, they should use an email address that is not registered with Gravatar. We would also like to point out that it is also possible to use an anonymous e-mail address or no e-mail address at all, if users do not want their own e-mail address to be sent to Gravatar. Users can completely prevent the transmission of data by not using our comment system.

Collection of access data and log files

We raise on the basis of our legitimate interests within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. DSGVO data about every access to the server on which this service is located (so-called server log files). The access data includes the name of the accessed website, file, date and time of access, transferred data volume, notification of successful access, browser type and version, the user’s operating system, referrer URL (the previously visited site), IP address and the requesting provider.

For security reasons (e.g. to clarify misuse or fraud), log file information is stored for a maximum period of fourteen days and then deleted. Data whose further storage is required for evidence purposes is excluded from deletion until the respective incident has been finally clarified.

Online presences in social media

We maintain online presences within social networks and platforms in order to be able to communicate with the customers, interested parties and users active there and to inform them about our services. When accessing the respective networks and platforms, the terms and conditions and data processing guidelines of their respective operators apply.

Unless otherwise stated in our privacy policy, we process the data of users if they communicate with us within the social networks and platforms, e.g. write articles on our online presences or send us messages.

Cookies & range measurement

Cookies are information that is transferred from our web server or web servers of third parties to the web browsers of the users and stored there for later retrieval. Cookies can be small files or other types of information storage.

We use “session cookies”, which are only stored for the duration of your current visit to our website (e.g. to enable the storage of your login status and thus the use of our website). A randomly generated unique identification number, a so-called session ID, is stored in a session cookie. In addition, a cookie contains information about its origin and the storage period. These cookies cannot store any other data. Session cookies are deleted when you have finished using our online services and, for example, log out or close the browser.

Users will be informed about the use of cookies in the context of pseudonymous range measurement within the scope of this data protection declaration.

If the users do not want cookies to be stored on their computer, they are asked to deactivate the corresponding option in the system settings of their browser. Stored cookies can be deleted in the system settings of the browser. The exclusion of cookies can lead to functional limitations of this online offer.

You can object to the use of cookies for reach measurement and advertising purposes via the deactivation page of the network advertising initiative (http://optout.networkadvertising.org/) and additionally the US website (http://www.aboutads.info/choices) or the European website (http://www.youronlinechoices.com/uk/your-ad-choices/).

Google Analytics

On the basis of our legitimate interests (i.e. interest in the analysis, optimization and economic operation of our online offer within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. DSGVO) we use Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google LLC (“Google”). Google uses cookies. The information generated by the cookie about the use of the website by the user is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

Google is certified under the Privacy Shield Agreement and thus offers a guarantee to comply with European data protection law (https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active).

Google will use this information on our behalf to evaluate the use of our website by users, to compile reports on the activities within this website and to provide us with further services associated with the use of this website and the Internet. The processed data can be used to create pseudonymous user profiles of the users.

We only use Google Analytics with activated IP anonymization. This means that the IP address of the user is shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transferred to a Google server in the USA and shortened there.

The IP address transmitted by the user’s browser is not merged with other Google data. Users can prevent the storage of cookies by adjusting their browser software accordingly; users can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and relating to their use of the online offer to Google and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available under the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.

Further information on Google’s use of data, setting and objection options can be found on Google’s websites: https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/partners (“Data use by Google when you use websites or apps of our partners”), https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads (“Data use for advertising purposes”), https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated (“Manage information that Google uses to show you advertising”).

Facebook Social Plugins

On the basis of our legitimate interests (i.e. interest in the analysis, optimization and economic operation of our online offer within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. DSGVO) Social Plugins (“Plugins”) of the social network facebook.com, which is operated by Facebook Ireland Ltd, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland (“Facebook”). The Plugins can display interaction elements or content (e.g. videos, graphics or text contributions) and can be recognized by one of the Facebook logos (white “f” on blue tile, the words “Like”, “Like” or a “thumbs up” sign) or are marked with the addition “Facebook Social Plugin”. The list and appearance of the Facebook Social Plugins can be viewed here:https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/.

Facebook is certified under the Privacy Shield Agreement and thus offers a guarantee to comply with European data protection law (https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt0000000GnywAAC&status=Active).

When a user calls up a function of this online offer that contains such a plugin, his or her device establishes a direct connection with the Facebook servers. The content of the plugin is transmitted by Facebook directly to the user’s device and integrated into the online offering by the user. User profiles can be created from the processed data. We therefore have no influence on the extent of the data that Facebook collects with the help of this plugin and therefore inform the users according to our state of knowledge.

By integrating the plugins, Facebook receives the information that a user has called up the corresponding page of the online offer. If the user is logged in to Facebook, Facebook can assign the visit to his or her Facebook account. When users interact with the plugins, for example, by pressing the Like button or posting a comment, the corresponding information is transmitted directly from your device to Facebook and stored there. If a user is not a member of Facebook, it is still possible for Facebook to find out his or her IP address and store it. According to Facebook, only an anonymized IP address is stored in Germany.

The purpose and scope of the data collection and the further processing and use of the data by Facebook, as well as the relevant rights and setting options to protect the privacy of users, can be found in the Facebook data protection information:https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/.

If a user is a Facebook member and does not want Facebook to collect data about him or her via this online offer and link it to his or her membership data stored on Facebook, he or she must log out of Facebook and delete his or her cookies before using our online offer. Further settings and objections to the use of data for advertising purposes are possible within the Facebook profile settings:https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=ads or via the US site http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or the EU site http://www.youronlinechoices.com/. The settings are platform-independent, i.e. they are applied to all devices, such as desktop computers or mobile devices.

Tracking and use of data within the affiliate and offer system of TARIFFUXX.de

We participate in the partner system of the offerer “TARIFFUXX.de”, Ingo Just, Am Steinacker 7, 86925 Fuchstal-Asch Germany. Within this framework, personal usage data of visitors to this online offer may be processed pseudonymously. Tracking measures customary in the industry are used for this purpose, insofar as these are necessary for the operation of the affiliate system of TARIFFUXX.DE. In the following, we explain the technical background to the users.

TARIFFUXX.DE cooperates with companies whose services are advertised and linked on other websites (so-called affiliate links) by means of the TARIFFUXX.DE partner program. The operators of the respective websites receive a commission if users follow the affiliate links and then take advantage of the offers. For the offer system it is necessary that we and TARIFFUXX.DE as well as participating providers of the services/products mediated by the affiliate measures can track whether visitors of this online offer who are interested in affiliate links and/or the offers available on our website subsequently perceive the offers at the instigation of the affiliate links or our online offer. For this purpose, the affiliate links are supplemented by certain values which can be a component of the link or otherwise, e.g. in a cookie, i.e. a small file which is stored on the user’s computer. These values include in particular the initial website (referrer), time, an online identification of the operator of the website on which the affiliate link was located, an online identification of the respective offer, an online identification of the visitor of this online offer, as well as tracking specific values such as advertising material ID, partner ID, sub-partner ID and categorizations (sub-ID).

The online identification of the visitors of this online offer used by TARIFFUXX.DE is a pseudonymous value. This means that the online identification itself does not contain any personal data such as name or e-mail address. It only helps to determine whether the same visitor of this online offer, who clicked on an affiliate link, has taken advantage of the offer, i.e. has concluded a contract with the provider. However, the online identification is personal insofar as the partner company and TARIFFUXX.de have the online identification together with other user data. Only in this way can the partner company or TARIFFUXX.de inform us whether the visitor of this online offer has taken advantage of the offer and we receive a commission or similar.

This processing is based on our legitimate interests and the legitimate interests of TARIFFUXX.DE and the providers (i.e. interest in the analysis, optimization and economic operation of our online offer) in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO.

Further information and notes on the right of objection and other rights of affected persons can be found in the data protection declaration of TARIFFUXX.DE: https://www.tariffuxx.de/seiten/datenschutz.

adgoal

The operators of the sites use the service of adgoal. Adgoal is a service provider that develops marketing solutions and supports website operators in generating advertising revenue. The products of adgoal have no influence on the contents of the website operator. They work purely context-sensitive (content-related). If a user clicks on a link to an external site, adgoal automatically checks whether an affiliate/partner link can be generated from this link, from which the website operator can earn money by reimbursing advertising costs. If this is the case, the link is forwarded to the advertiser via his affiliate program, which he may operate in an affiliate network. For this the Advertiser and/or the Affiliate network sets a Cookie, in order to be able to reconstruct the origin of the order. This allows the advertiser to recognize that you have clicked the partner link on this website.

The services of adgoal and the resulting cookies of the affiliate networks and advertisers, are based on Art. 6 lit. f DSGVO. The website operator has a legitimate interest in this, as the amount of his affiliate remuneration can only be determined through the cookies.

Further information on data use by adgoal, as well as the possibility of an opt-out, can be found in the data protection declaration of adgoal.

Cookies and messages about access numbers (VG Wort)

We use “session cookies” from VG Wort, Munich, to measure access to texts to determine the probability of copying. Session cookies are small units of information that a provider stores in the main memory of the visitor’s computer. A randomly generated unique identification number, a so-called session ID, is stored in a session cookie. In addition, a cookie contains information about its origin and the storage period. Session cookies cannot store other data. These measurements are performed by INFOnline GmbH according to the Scalable Central Measurement Method (SZM). They help to determine the copying probability of individual texts for the remuneration of legal claims of authors and publishers. We do not collect personal data via cookies.

We thus enable our authors to participate in the distributions of VG Wort, which ensure the legal remuneration for the use of copyrighted works in accordance with § 53 UrhG.

It is also possible to use our offers without cookies. Most browsers are set to accept cookies automatically. However, you can deactivate the storage of cookies or set your browser to inform you as soon as cookies are sent.

Use of the Scalable Central Measuring Method (VG Wort)
