Introduction and overview

We have written this data protection declaration (version 25.08.2021-111816798) in order to explain to you in accordance with the provisions of the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and applicable national laws which personal data (in short data) we as controllers – and the processors commissioned by us (e.B. providers) – process in the future and what lawful options you have. The terms used are to be understood as gender-neutral.
In short: We inform you comprehensively about data that we process about you.

Privacy statements usually sound very technical and use legal terms. This privacy policy, on the other hand, is intended to describe the most important things to you as simply and transparently as possible. As far as it is conducive to transparency, technical terms are explained in a reader-friendlyway, links to further information. We thus inform in clear and simple language that we only process personal data in the context of our business activities if a corresponding legal basis is given. This is certainly not possible if you make the most concise, unclear and legal-technical explanations possible, as they are often standard on the Internet when it comes to data protection. I hope you find the following explanations interesting and informative and maybe there is one or the other piece of information that you did not know yet. If you still have any questions, please contact the responsible body mentioned below or in the imprint, follow the existing links and view further information on third-party sites. Of course, you will also find our contact details in the imprint.

Scope

This privacy policy applies to all personal data processed by us in the company and to all personal data processed by companies commissioned by us (processors). By personal data, we mean information within the meaning of Art. 4 No. 1 GDPR, such as the name, e-mail address and postal address of a person. The processing of personal data ensures that we can offer and bill our services and products, whether online or offline. The scope of this Privacy Policy includes:

• all online presences (websites, online shops) that we operate
• Social media appearances and e-mail communication
• mobile apps for smartphones and other devices

In short: The data protection declaration applies to all areas in which personal data is processed in a structured manner in the company via the aforementioned channels. Should we enter into legal relationships with you outside of these channels, we will inform you separately if necessary.

Legal bases

In the following data protection declaration, we provide you with transparent information on the legal principles and regulations, i.e. the legal bases of the General Data Protection Regulation, which enable us to process personal data. As far as EU law is concerned, we refer to REGULATION (EU) 2016/679 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL of 27 April 2016. Of course, you can read this EU General Data Protection Regulation online on EUR-Lex, access to EU law, under https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/DE/TXT/?uri=celex%3A32016R0679.

We only process your data if at least one of the following conditions applies:

1. Consent (Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR): You have given us your consent to process data for a specific purpose. An example would be the storage of your entered data of a contact form.

-      If you continue to use our Services after the posting of this Privacy Policy, you agree to this Privacy Policy and consent to the use of your personal information in accordance with these Terms. The same applies in the case of registration of a customer card in a shop.

-      This Privacy Policy may be subject to change from time to time, in particular due to changes in jurisdiction, the entry into force of new laws or changes or extensions to our offer, of which we will inform you by providing the amended terms on our website. It is recommended that you read the Privacy Policy regularly.

-      Information about new regulations will be announced in a pop-up after logging in. When you confirm/close this information, a cookie is installed on your device.

-      Your personal data will be treated with absolute confidentiality. We will only store your personal data for as long as is necessary for the intended purpose of data collection or as required by law.

2. Contract (Article 6 (1) (.b) GDPR): In order to fulfil a contract or pre-contractual obligations with you, we process your data. For example, if we conclude a purchase contract with you, we need personal information in advance.
3. Legal obligation (Article 6 (1) (.c) GDPR): If we are subject to a legal obligation, we process your data. For example, we are legally obliged to keep invoices for accounting. These usually contain personal data.
4. Legitimate interests (Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR): In the case of legitimate interests that do not restrict your fundamental rights, we reserve the right to process personal data. For example, we need to process certain data in order to operate our website safely and economically efficiently. This processing is therefore a legitimate interest.

Other conditions such as the perception of recordings in the public interest and the exercise of official authority as well as the protection of vital interests usually do not occur with us. If such a legal basis should be relevant, it will be indicated in the appropriate place.

In addition to the EU regulation, national laws also apply:

• In Austria, this is the Federal Act on the Protection of Natural Persons with regard to the Processing of Personal Data (DataProtection Act), DSG forshort .
• In Germany, the Federal Data Protection Act, BDSGforshort , applies.

If other regional or national laws apply, we will inform you in the following sections.

Storage period

The fact that we only store personal data for as long as is absolutely necessary for the provision of our services and products is a general criterion for us. This means that we delete personal data as soon as the reason for the data processing no longer exists. In some cases, we are legally obliged to store certain data even after the original purpose has ceased to exist, for example for accounting purposes.

If you wish your data to be deleted or if you revoke your consent to data processing, the data will be deleted as soon as possible and insofar as there is no obligation to store it.

We will inform you about the specific duration of the respective data processing below, if we have further information on this.

Security of data processing

In order to protect personal data, we have implemented both technical and organizational measures. Where possible, we encrypt or pseudonymise personal data. In this way, we make it as difficult as possible for third parties to incise personal information from our data, within the scope of our possibilities.

Art. 25 GDPR speaks here of "data protection through technology design and data protection-friendly default settings" and means that both software (e.B. forms) and hardware (e.B. access to the server room) always think of security and take appropriate measures. In the following, if necessary, we will discuss concrete measures.

TLS encryption with https

1. As a betting company, we are required to collect personal data during the registration process in order to be able to provide our services in accordance with legal and regulatory requirements. Whenever a user sends sensitive information, contacts us, makes deposits or requests a withdrawal, we use the SSL/TLS standard, which encrypts the user's data before it is sent from the user's computer to be able to be decrypted only by our servers.
2. In the same way, the website is encrypted by our servers. Browsers such as Chrome, Firefox or Opera use AES 256-bit encryption, while our servers do not accept browser connections that do not meet the minimum security requirements. The security of the web pages can be checked by displaying the lock icon in the browser, while Internet Explorer users can right-click the Properties option and confirm the use of the TLS protocol accordingly.

TLS, encryption and https sound very technical and they are. We use HTTPS (the Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure stands for "secure hypertext transmission protocol") to transmit data on the Internet in a tap-proof manner. This means that the complete transmission of all data from your browser to our web server is secured – no one can "listen in".

We have thus introduced an additional security layer and comply with data protection through technology design Article 25 (1) GDPR). By using TLS (Transport Layer Security), an encryption protocol for secure data transmission on the Internet, we can ensure the protection of confidential data. You can recognize the use of this security of data transmission by the small lock symbol in the upper left corner of the browser, to the left of the Internet address (e.B. beispielseite.de) and the use of the scheme https (instead of http) as part of our Internet address.If you want to know more about encryption, we recommend google the search for "Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure wiki" to get good links to further information.

Cookies

Cookies Summary 👥 Data subjects: Visitors to the website 🤝 purpose: depending on the respective cookie. More details can be found below or at the manufacturer of the software that sets the cookie. 📓 Data processed: Depends on the cookie used. More details can be found below or at the manufacturer of the software that sets the cookie. 📅 storage period: depending on the respective cookie, may vary from hours to years ⚖️ legal bases: Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR (consent), Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR (legitimate interests)

What are cookies?

Our website uses HTTP cookies to store user-specific data. In the following, we explain what cookies are and why they are used so that you can better understand the following privacy policy.

Whenever you browse the Internet, you use a browser. Well-known browsers include Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Internet Explorer and Microsoft Edge. Most websites store small text files in your browser. These files are called cookies.

One thing cannot be denied: cookies are really useful helpers. Almost all websites use cookies. More precisely, they are HTTP cookies, as there are also other cookies for other areas of application. HTTP cookies are small files that are stored on your computer by our website. These cookie files are automatically placed in the cookie folder, the "brain" of your browser. A cookie consists of a name and a value. When defining a cookie, one or more attributes must also be specified.

Cookies store certain user data about you, such as language or personal page settings. When you visit our site again, your browser transmits the "user-related" information back to our site. Thanks to cookies, our website knows who you are and offers you the setting you are used to. In some browsers, each cookie has its own file, in others, such as Firefox, all cookies are stored in a single file.

The following graphic shows a possible interaction between a web browser such as .B. Chrome and the web server. The web browser requests a website and receives a cookie back from the server, which the browser uses again as soon as another page isrequested.

There are both first-party cookies and third-party cookies. First-party cookies are created directly by our site, third-party cookies are created by partner websites (e.B. Google Analytics). Each cookie must be evaluated individually, as each cookie stores different data. The expiration time of a cookie also varies from a few minutes to a few years. Cookies are not software programs and do not contain viruses, Trojans or other "pests". Cookies also cannot access information from your PC.

For example, this is what cookie data may look like:

Name: _ga
Value: GA1.2.1326744211.152111816798-9
Purpose: Distinguishing website visitorsExpiration
date: after 2 years

A browser should be able to support these minimum sizes:

• At least 4096 bytes per cookie
• At least 50 cookies per domain
• At least 3000 cookies in total

What types of cookies are there?

The question of which cookies we use in particular depends on the services used and is clarified in the following sections of the privacy policy. At this point, we would like to briefly discuss the different types of HTTP cookies.

There are 4 types of cookies:

Essential cookies
These cookies are necessary to ensure basic functions of the website. For example, these cookies are needed when a user places a product in the shopping cart, then continues to surf on other pages and later goes to the checkout. These cookies do not delete the shopping cart, even if the user closes his browser window.

Appropriate cookies
These cookies collect information about user behavior and whether the user receives any error messages. In addition, these cookies are also used to measure the loading time and the behavior of the website on different browsers.

Target-oriented cookies
These cookies ensure a better user experience. For example, entered locations, font sizes, or form data are saved.

Advertising cookies
These cookies are also called targeting cookies. They serve to provide the user with individually adapted advertising. This can be very convenient, but also very annoying.

Usually, when you visit a website for the first time, you will be asked which of these types of cookies you want to allow. And of course, this decision is also stored in a cookie.

If you want to know more about cookies and are not afraid of technical documentation, we recommend https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6265,the Request for Comments of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) called "HTTP State Management Mechanism".

Purpose of processing via cookies

The purpose ultimately depends on the respective cookie. More details can be found below or at the manufacturer of the software that sets the cookie.

What data is processed?

Cookies are small assistants for many different tasks. Unfortunately, it is not possible to generalize which data is stored in cookies, but we will inform you about the processed or stored data within the framework of the following data protection declaration.

Storage period of cookies

The storage period depends on the respective cookie and is further specified below. Some cookies are deleted after less than an hour, others can remain stored on a computer for several years.

They also have an influence on the storage period themselves. You can manually delete all cookies at any time via your browser (see also below "Right to object"). Furthermore, cookies based on consent will be deleted at the latest after revocation of your consent, whereby the legality of storage remains unaffected until then.

Right to object – how can I delete cookies?

How and whether you want to use cookies is up to you. Regardless of which service or website the cookies originate from, you always have the option of deleting, disabling or only partially allowing cookies. For example, you can block third-party cookies but allow all other cookies.

If you want to find out which cookies have been stored in your browser, if you want to change or delete cookie settings, you can find this in your browser settings:

Chrome: Delete, enable, and manage cookies in Chrome

Safari: Manage cookies and website data with Safari

Firefox: Delete cookies to remove data that websites have placed on your computer

Internet Explorer: Delete and manage cookies

Microsoft Edge: Delete and manage cookies

If you do not want cookies in principle, you can set up your browser so that it always informs you when a cookie is to be set. This allows you to decide for each individual cookie whether you allow the cookie or not. The procedure varies depending on the browser. It is best to search for the instructions in Google with the search term "Delete cookies Chrome" or "Disable cookies Chrome" in the case of a Chrome browser.

Legal basis

Since 2009, there are the so-called "cookie guidelines". It states that the storage of cookies requires your consent (Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR). Within the EU countries, however, there are still very different reactions to these directives. In Austria, however, that directive was transposed into Paragraph 96(3) of the Telecommunications Act (TKG). In Germany, the Cookie Policy has not been transposed as national law. Instead, the implementation of this directive was largely carried out in § 15 (3) of the Telemedia Act (TMG).

For strictly necessary cookies, even if there is no consent. there are legitimate interests (Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR), which in most cases are of an economic nature. We want to give visitors to the website a pleasant user experience and for this certain cookies are often absolutely necessary.

Unless absolutely necessary cookies are used, this will only be done if you give your consent. The legal basis in this respect is Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR.

In the following sections, you will be informed in more detail about the use of cookies, if the software used uses cookies.

Web hosting

Web hosting Summary 👥 Data subjects: Visitors to the website 🤝 Purpose: professional hosting of the website and securing the operation 📓 Data processed: IP address, time of website visit, browser used and other data. More details can be found below or at the respective web hosting provider used. 📅 storage period: depending on the respective provider, but usually 2 weeks ⚖️ legal basis: Art. 6 para. 1 lit.f GDPR (legitimate interests)

What is web hosting?

When you visit websites today, certain information – including personal data – is automatically created and stored, including on this website. This data should be processed as sparingly as possible and only with justification. By website we mean the totality of all web pages on a domain, i.e. everything from the start page (homepage) to the last subpage (like this one). By domain, we mean, for example, beispiel.de or musterbeispiel.com.

If you want to view a website on a screen, use a program called a web browser. You probably know some web browsers by name: Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Mozilla Firefox and Apple Safari.

This web browser must connect to another computer where the website's code is stored: the web server. The operation of a web server is a complicated and time-consuming task, which is why this is usually taken over by professional providers, the providers. These offer web hosting and thus ensure a reliable and error-free storage of the data of websites.

When connecting the browser to your computer (desktop, laptop, smartphone) and during data transmission to and from the web server, personal data may be processed. On the one hand, your computer stores data, on the other hand, the web server must also store data for a while to ensure proper operation.

To illustrate:

Why do we process personal data?

The purposes of data processing are:

1. Professional hosting of the website and securing the operation
2. to maintain operational and IT security
3. Anonymous evaluation of access behavior to improve our offer and, if necessary, for criminal prosecution or prosecution of claims

What data is processed?

Even while you are visiting our website, our web server, which is the computer on which this website is stored, usually automatically stores data such as

• the complete Internet address (URL) of the accessed website (e.B. https://www.beispielwebsite.de/beispielunterseite.html?tid=111816798)
• Browser and browser version (e.B. Chrome 87)
• the operating system used (e.B. Windows 10)
• the address (URL) of the previously visited page (referrer URL) (e.B. https://www.beispielquellsite.de/vondabinichgekommen.html/)
• the host name and IP address of the device from which it is accessed (e.B. COMPUTERNAME and 194.23.43.121)
• Date and time
• in files, the so-called web server log files

How long is data stored?

As a rule, the above data is stored for two weeks and then automatically deleted. We do not pass on this data, but cannot rule out the possibility that this data may be viewed by authorities in the event of unlawful conduct.

In short, your visit is logged by our provider (company that runs our website on special computers (servers), but we do not share your data without consent!

Legal basis

The lawfulness of the processing of personal data in the context of web hosting results from Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR (protection of legitimate interests), because the use of professional hosting with a provider is necessary in order to present the company on the Internet in a secure and user-friendly manner and to be able to pursue attacks and claims from this if necessary.

Web Analytics

Web Analytics Privacy Policy Summary 👥 Data subjects: Visitors to the website 🤝 Purpose: Evaluation of visitor information to optimize the website. 📓 Processed data: Access statistics that contain data such as locations of accesses, device data, access duration and time, navigation behavior, click behavior and IP addresses. More details can be found in the web analytics tool used in each case. 📅 storage period: depending on the web analytics tool used, ⚖️ legal basis: Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR (consent), Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR (legitimate interests)

What is Web Analytics?

We use software on our website to evaluate the behavior of website visitors, or web analytics for short. Data is collected that the respective analytic tool provider (also known as tracking tool) stores, manages and processes. With the help of the data, analyses of user behaviour on our website are created and made available to us as the website operator. In addition, most tools offer various testing options. For example, we can test which offers or content are best received by our visitors. For this purpose, we will show you two different offers for a limited period of time. After the test (so-called A/B test), we know which product or content our website visitors find more interesting. For such test procedures, as well as for other analytics methods, user profiles can also be created and the data can be stored in cookies.

Why do we run web analytics?

With our website, we have a clear goal in mind: we want to deliver the best web offer on the market for our industry. In order to achieve this goal, we want to offer the best and most interesting offer on the one hand and on the other hand make sure that you feel completely comfortable on our website. With the help of web analysis tools, we can take a closer look at the behavior of our website visitors and then improve our website for you and us accordingly. For example, we can see how old our visitors are on average, where they come from, when our website is most visited or which content or products are particularly popular. All this information helps us to optimize the website and thus adapt it optimally to your needs, interests and wishes.

What data is processed?

Of course, exactly which data is stored depends on the analysis tools used. But as a rule, for example, what content you view on our website, which buttons or links you click on, when you visit a page, which browser you use, with which device (PC, tablet, smartphone, etc.) You visit the website or what computer system you are using. If you agreed that location data may also be collected, this may also be processed by the web analysis tool provider.

In addition, your IP address is also stored. According to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), IP addresses are personal data. However, your IP address is usually stored pseudonymised (i.e. in unrecocoded and shortened form). For the purpose of testing, web analysis and web optimization, no direct data such as your name, age, address or e-mail address are stored. All this data, if it is collected, is stored pseudonymously. So you cannot be identified as a person.

The following example schematically shows how Google Analytics works as an example of client-based web tracking with Java Script code.

How long the respective data is stored always depends on the provider. Some cookies only store data for a few minutes or until you leave the website, other cookies can store data for several years.

Duration of data processing

We will inform you about the duration of the data processing below, if we have further information. In general, we process personal data only for as long as is strictly necessary for the provision of our services and products. If, as in the case of accounting, for example, it is required by law, this storage period can also be exceeded.

Right to object

You also have the right and the possibility to revoke your consent to the use of cookies or third-party providers at any time. This works either via our cookie management tool or via other opt-out functions. For example, you can also prevent data collection by cookies by managing, deactivating or deleting the cookies in your browser.

What is Google Analytics?

On our website we use the analysis tracking tool Google Analytics (GA) of the American company Google Inc. For the European region, Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street Dublin 4, Ireland) is responsible for all Google services. Google Analytics collects data about your actions on our website. For example, if you click on a link, this action is stored in a cookie and sent to Google Analytics. The reports we receive from Google Analytics allow us to better tailor our website and service to your needs. In the following, we will go into more detail about the tracking tool and, above all, inform you about which data is stored and how you can prevent this.

Google Analytics is a tracking tool that serves the traffic analysis of our website. In order for Google Analytics to work, a tracking code is built into the code of our website. When you visit our website, this code records various actions that you take on our website. As soon as you leave our website, this data is sent to the Google Analytics servers and stored there.

Google processes the data and we receive reports on your user behavior. These reports may include the following:

• Target group reports: Through target group reports, we get to know our users better and know more precisely who is interested in our service.
• Ad reports: Ad reports make it easier for us to analyze and improve our online advertising.
• Acquisition reports: Acquisition reports give us helpful information on how to get more people excited about our service.
• Behavioural reports: Here we learn how you interact with our website. We can understand which way you travel on our site and which links you click.
• Conversion reports: Conversion is a process in which you take a desired action based on a marketing message. For example, if you go from being a pure website visitor to a buyer or newsletter subscriber. With the help of these reports, we learn more about how our marketing measures are received by you. This is how we want to increase our conversion rate.
• Real-time reports: Here we always know immediately what is happening on our website. For example, we see how many users are currently reading this text.

Why do we use Google Analytics on our website?

Our goal with this website is clear: We want to offer you the best possible service. The statistics and data of Google Analytics help us to achieve this goal.

The statistically evaluated data shows us a clear picture of the strengths and weaknesses of our website. On the one hand, we can optimize our site so that it is easier for interested people to find on Google. On the other hand, the data helps us to better understand you as a visitor. We therefore know exactly what we need to improve on our website in order to offer you the best possible service. The data also serves us to carry out our advertising and marketing measures more individually and cost-effectively. After all, it only makes sense to show our products and services to people who are interested in them.

What data is stored by Google Analytics?

Google Analytics uses a tracking code to create a random, unique ID associated with your browser cookie. This is how Google Analytics recognizes you as a new user. The next time you visit our site, you will be recognized as a "returning" user. All collected data is stored together with this user ID. This makes it possible to evaluate pseudonymous user profiles in the first place.

In order to be able to analyze our website with Google Analytics, a property ID must be inserted into the tracking code. The data is then stored in the corresponding property. For each newly created property, the Google Analytics 4 property is by default. Alternatively, you can also create the Universal Analytics Property. Depending on the property used, data is stored for different periods of time.

Labels such as cookies and app instance IDs measure your interactions on our website. Interactions are all kinds of actions you take on our website. If you also use other Google systems (such as .B a Google Account), data generated via Google Analytics may be linked to third-party cookies. Google does not share Google Analytics data unless we as the website operator approve it. Exceptions may occur if required by law.

The following cookies are used by Google Analytics:

Purpose: The cookie is used to store user-defined user data. It is always updated when information is sent to Google Analytics.
Expiration date: after 2 years

Note: This list cannot claim to be exhaustive, as Google changes the choice of its cookies again and again.

Here we show you an overview of the most important data collected with Google Analytics:

Heatmaps: Google creates so-called heatmaps. Heatmaps can be used to see exactly those areas that you click on. This gives us information about where you are "on the road" on our site.

Session duration: Google refers to the time you spend on our site without leaving the site. If you have been inactive for 20 minutes, the session ends automatically.

Bounce rate: A bounce is when you only view one page on our website and then leave our website.

Account creation: When you create an account or place an order on our website, Google Analytics collects this data.

IP address: The IP address is only displayed in abbreviated form so that no clear assignment is possible.

Location: The IP address can be used to determine the country and your approximate location. This process is also known as IP location determination.

Technical Information: Technical information includes, but is not limited to, your browser type, internet service provider, or screen resolution.

Source of origin: Google Analytics or we are of course also interested in which website or advertising you came to our site via.

Other data includes contact details, any reviews, playing media (e.B. when you play a video via our site), sharing content via social media or adding to your favorites. The list has no claim to completeness and serves only for a general orientation of data storage by Google Analytics.

How long and where is the data stored?

Google has distributed your servers all over the world. Most servers are located in America and consequently your data is usually stored on American servers. Here you can read exactly where the Google data centers are located: https://www.google.com/about/datacenters/inside/locations/?hl=de

Your data is distributed on different physical disks. This has the advantage that the data can be retrieved faster and is better protected against manipulation. Every Google data center has emergency programs for your data. If, for example, Google's hardware fails or natural disasters paralyze servers, the risk of service interruption at Google remains low.

The retention period of the data depends on the properties used. When using the newer Google Analytics 4 properties, the retention period of your user data is fixed at 14 months. For other so-called event data, we have the option of choosing a retention period of 2 months or 14 months.

With Universal Analytics properties, Google Analytics has a standardized retention period of 26 months for your user data. Then your user data will be deleted. However, we have the option of choosing the retention period of user data ourselves. We have five variants available for this:

• Deletion after 14 months
• Deletion after 26 months
• Deletion after 38 months
• Deletion after 50 months
• No automatic deletion

In addition, there is also the option that data will only be deleted if you no longer visit our website within the period selected by us. In this case, the retention period will be reset each time you visit our website again within the specified period.

If the specified period has expired, the data will be deleted once a month. This retention period applies to your data associated with cookies, user identification and advertising IDs (e.B. cookies of the DoubleClick domain). Report results are based on aggregated data and are stored independently of user data. Aggregated data is a combination of individual data into a larger unit.

How can I delete my data or prevent data storage?

According to the data protection law of the European Union, you have the right to obtain information about your data, to update, delete or restrict it. You can use the browser add-on to disable Google Analytics JavaScript (ga.js, analytics.js, dc.js) to prevent Google Analytics from using your data. You can download and install the browser add-on from https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de. Please note that this add-on only deactivates data collection by Google Analytics.

If you generally want to deactivate, delete or manage cookies (independent of Google Analytics), there are separate instructions for each browser:

Chrome: Delete, enable, and manage cookies in Chrome

Safari: Manage cookies and website data with Safari

Firefox: Delete cookies to remove data that websites have placed on your computer

Internet Explorer: Delete and manage cookies

Microsoft Edge: Delete and manage cookies

Legal basis

The use of Google Analytics requires your consent, which we have obtained with our cookie popup. According to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR (consent), this consent constitutes the legal basis for the processing of personal data, as it may occur when collected by web analytics tools.

In addition to consent, we have a legitimate interest in analysing the behaviour of website visitors and thus improving our offer technically and economically. With the help of Google Analytics, we detect errors in the website, can identify attacks and improve profitability. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR (Legitimate Interests). Nevertheless, we only use Google Analytics if you have given your consent.

Google also processes data in the USA. We would like to point out that, in the opinion of the European Court of Justice, there is currently no adequate level of protection for data transfer to the USA. This can entail various risks to the lawfulness and security of data processing.

As a basis for data processing for recipients based in third countries (outside the European Union, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, in particular in the USA) or for data transfer there, Google uses standard contractual clauses approved by the EU Commission (= Art. 46 para. 2 and 3 GDPR). These clauses oblige Google to comply with the EU level of data protection when processing relevant data outside the EU. These clauses are based on an implementing decision of the EU Commission. You can find the resolution as well as the clauses here: https://ec.europa.eu/germany/news/20210604-datentransfers-eu_de.

We hope we were able to provide you with the most important information about data processing by Google Analytics. If you want to know more about the tracking service, we recommend these two links: http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html and https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=de.

Google Analytics IP anonymization

We have implemented the IP address anonymization of Google Analytics on this website. This feature was developed by Google so that this website can comply with the applicable data protection regulations and recommendations of the local data protection authorities if they prohibit the storage of the complete IP address. The anonymization or masking of the IP takes place as soon as the IP addresses arrive in the Google Analytics data collection network and before the data is stored or processed.

More information on IP anonymization can be found on https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/2763052?hl=de.

Email Marketing

E-mail marketing Summary 👥 Data subjects: Newsletter subscribers 🤝 Purpose: Direct marketing by e-mail, notificationof systemically important events 📓 Processed data: Data entered during registration, but at least the e-mail address. More details can be found in the respective e-mail marketing tool used. 📅 storage period: Duration of the subscription ⚖️ legal basis: Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR (consent), Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR (legitimate interests)

Newsletter / Contact form

1. If you are a registered user, we may use your e-mail address to send you our newsletter with information about our services or to send you other advertising messages if you have agreed to this.
2. Such newsletters or advertising messages can be unsubscribed at any time by clicking on the unsubscribe link in the newsletter/message or by changing your personal account settings.
3. You can cancel your subscription to the newsletter at any time. Please send your cancellation to the following e-mail address: office@gwbet.com. We will then immediately delete your data in connection with the newsletter dispatch.
4. After registration, you subsequently have the option of subscribing to our newsletter via our website. Under menu 'My Account – Settings – Communication'. For this we need your e-mail address and your declaration that you agree to receive the newsletter.
5. In order to provide you with targeted information, we also collect and process voluntarily provided information on:

o    Interest

o    Postal code

6. As soon as you have subscribed to the newsletter, we will send you a confirmation e-mail with a link to confirm the registration.

 

What is email marketing?

In order to keep you up to date, we also use the possibility of e-mail marketing. If you have agreed to receive our e-mails or newsletters, your data will also be processed and stored. Email marketing is a sub-area of online marketing. News or general information about a company, products or services is sent by e-mail to a specific group of people who are interested in it.

If you want to participate in our e-mail marketing (usually via newsletter), you usually just have to register with your e-mail address. To do this, fill out an online form and submit it. However, it may also happen that we ask you for your salutation and your name, so that we can also write to you personally.

Basically, registering for newsletters works with the help of the so-called "double opt-in procedure". After you have registered for our newsletter on our website, you will receive an e-mail confirming your subscription to the newsletter. This ensures that the e-mail address belongs to you and that no one has registered with a foreign e-mail address. We or a notification tool we use logs every single login. This is necessary so that we can prove the legally correct registration process. As a rule, the time of registration, the time of registration confirmation and your IP address are stored. In addition, it is also logged when you make changes to your stored data.

Why do we use email marketing?

Of course, we want to stay in touch with you and always present you with the most important news about our company. Among other things, we use e-mail marketing – often referred to as "newsletters" – as an essential part of our online marketing. If you agree to this or if it is permitted by law, we will send you newsletters, system e-mails or other notifications by e-mail. When we use the term "newsletter" in the following text, we mainly mean regularly sent e-mails. Of course, we do not want to bother you in any way with our newsletter. That's why we always strive to offer only relevant and interesting content. For example, you can find out more about our company, our services or products. Since we are always improving our offers, you will always find out about our newsletter when there is news or we are currently offering special, lucrative promotions. If we commission a service provider who offers a professional shipping tool for our e-mail marketing, we do so in order to be able to offer you fast and secure newsletters. The purpose of our e-mail marketing is basically to inform you about new offers and also to get closer to our entrepreneurial goals.

What data is processed?

If you become a subscriber to our newsletter via our website, confirm your membership in an e-mail list by e-mail. In addition to your IP address and e-mail address, your title, name, address and telephone number may also be stored. However, only if you agree to this data storage. The data marked as such is necessary for you to participate in the service offered. The information is voluntary, but the non-provision will result in you not being able to use the service. In addition, information about your device or your preferred content may also be stored on our website. You can find out more about storing data when you visit a website in the "Automatic data storage" section. We record your declaration of consent so that we can always prove that it complies with our laws.

Duration of data processing

If you unsubscribe your e-mail address from our e-mail/newsletter distribution list, we may store your address for up to three years on the basis of our legitimate interests so that we can still prove your consent at that time. We may only process this data if we have to defend ourselves against any claims.

However, if you confirm that you have given us your consent to subscribe to the newsletter, you can submit an individual deletion request at any time. If you permanently object to your consent, we reserve the right to store your e-mail address in a blacklist. As long as you have voluntarily subscribed to our newsletter, we will of course also keep your e-mail address.

Right to object

You have the possibility to cancel your newsletter registration at any time. All you have to do is revoke your consent to subscribe to the newsletter. This usually only takes a few seconds or one or two clicks. Most of the time, you will find a link right at the bottom of each email to cancel your newsletter subscription. If the link in the newsletter is really not to be found, please contact us by e-mail and we will cancel your newsletter subscription immediately.

Legal basis

Our newsletter is sent on the basis of your consent (Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR). This means that we may only send you a newsletter if you have actively registered for it beforehand. If necessary, we may also send you advertising messages on the basis of § 7 Abs. 3 UWG, provided that you have become our customer and have not objected to the use of your e-mail address for direct advertising.

Content Delivery Networks

Content Delivery Networks Privacy Policy Summary 👥 Data subjects: Visitorsto the website 🤝 Purpose: Optimisation of our service (in order to be able to load the website faster) 📓 Data processed: Data such as your IP addressMore details can be found below and the individual data protection texts. 📅 storage period: most of the data is stored until it is no longer needed to fulfil the service ⚖️ legal basis: Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR (consent), Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR (legitimate interests)

What is a Content Delivery Network?

We use a so-called content delivery network on our website. Most often, such a network is called only CDN. A CDN helps us load our website quickly and easily, regardless of your location. Personal data about you will also be stored, managed and processed on the servers of the CDN provider used. In the following, we will go into more detail about the service and its data processing. Detailed information about the handling of your data can be found in the respective data protection declaration of the provider.

Each Content Delivery Network (CDN) is a network of regionally distributed servers that are all connected to each other over the Internet. Via this network, content from websites (especially very large files) can be delivered quickly and smoothly even during large load peaks. The CDN creates a copy of our website on your servers. Since these servers are distributed worldwide, the website can be delivered quickly. The data transfer to your browser is therefore significantly shortened by the CDN.

Why do we use a content delivery network for our website?

A fast-loading website is part of our service. Of course, we know how annoying it is when a website loads at a snail's pace. Usually you even lose patience and look for the distance before the website is fully loaded. Of course, we want to avoid that. Therefore, a fast-loading website is a matter of course part of our website offer. With a content delivery network, our website loads much faster in your browser. The use of the CDN is particularly helpful if you are abroad, because the website is delivered from a server near you.

What data is processed?

When you request a web site or the content of a website and they are cached in a CDN, the CDN forwards the request to the server closest to you and the latter delivers the content. Content Delivery Networks are built so that JavaScript libraries can be downloaded and hosted on npm and Github servers. Alternatively, most CDNs can also load WordPress plugins if they are hosted on WordPress.org. Your browser can send personal data to the Content Delivery Network we use. This includes data such as IP address, browser type, browser version, which website is loaded or the time and date of the page visit. This data is collected and stored by the CDN. Whether cookies are used for data storage depends on the network used. Please read the data protection texts of the respective service.

Right to object

If you want to completely prevent this data transfer, you can install a JavaScript blocker (see, for example, https://noscript.net/) on your PC. Of course, our website will no longer be able to offer the usual service (such as a fast loading speed).

Legal basis

If you have consented to the use of a content delivery network, the legal basis for the corresponding data processing is this consent. According to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR (consent), this consent represents the legal basis for the processing of personal data, as it may occur when collected by a content delivery network.

On our part, there is also a legitimate interest in using a content delivery network to optimize our online service and make it more secure. The corresponding legal basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR (Legitimate Interests). Nevertheless, we only use the tool if you have given your consent.

For information about specific content delivery networks, see the following sections, if any.

Payment Providers

Payment provider Privacy policy Summary 👥 Data subjects: Visitors to the website 🤝 Purpose: Enabling and optimising the payment process on our website 📓 Processed data: Data such as name, address, bank details (account number, credit card number, passwords, TANs, etc.), IP address and contract dataMore details can be found in the respective payment provider tool used. 📅 storage period: depending on the payment provider used ⚖️ legal basis: Art. 6 para. 1 lit.b GDPR (fulfilment of a contract)

What is a payment provider?

We use online payment systems on our website that enable us and you to have a secure and smooth payment process. Among other things, personal data may also be sent, stored and processed there to the respective payment provider. Payment providers are online payment systems that allow you to place an order via online banking. The payment processing is carried out by the payment provider you have chosen. We will then receive information about the payment made. This method can be used by any user who has an active online banking account with PIN and TAN. There are hardly any banks left that do not offer or accept such payment methods.

Why do we use payment providers on our website?

Of course, we want to offer the best possible service with our website and our integrated online shop, so that you feel comfortable on our site and use our offers. We know that your time is precious and especially payment processing must work quickly and smoothly. For these reasons, we offer you various payment providers. You can choose your preferred payment provider and pay in the usual way.

What data is processed?

Of course, exactly which data is processed depends on the respective payment provider. However, data such as name, address, bank details (account number, credit card number, passwords, TANs, etc.) are stored. This is the data necessary to be able to carry out a transaction at all. In addition, any contract data and user data, such as when you visit our website, which content you are interested in or which subpages you click on, may also be stored. Your IP address and information about the computer you are using are also stored by most payment providers.

The data is usually stored and processed on the servers of the payment providers. As a website operator, we do not receive this data. We will only be informed if the payment worked or not. For identity and credit checks, it may happen that payment providers forward data to the appropriate body. For all payment transactions, the business and data protection principles of the respective provider always apply. Therefore, please always take a look at the general terms and conditions and the privacy policy of the payment provider. You also have the right to have data deleted or corrected at any time, for example. Please contact the respective service provider regarding your rights (right of revocation, right of access and right of concern).

Duration of data processing

We will inform you about the duration of the data processing below if we have further information. In general, we process personal data only for as long as is strictly necessary for the provision of our services and products. If, as in the case of accounting, for example, it is required by law, this storage period can also be exceeded. For example, we keep accounting documents belonging to a contract (invoices, contract documents, account statements, etc.) for 10 years (§ 147 AO) as well as other relevant business documents for 6 years (§ 247 HGB) after accruing.

Right to object

You always have the right to information, correction and deletion of your personal data. If you have any questions, you can also contact the person responsible for the payment provider used at any time. Contact details can be found either in our specific privacy policy or on the website of the relevant payment provider.

Cookies that payment providers use for their functions can be deleted, deactivated or managed in your browser. Depending on which browser you use, this works in different ways. Please note, however, that the payment process may then no longer work.

Legal basis

We therefore offer other payment service providers in addition to conventional bank/credit institutions for the processing of contractual or legal relationships (Art. 6 para. 1 lit.b GDPR). The privacy statements of the individual payment providers (such as Amazon Payments, Apple Pay or Discover) provide you with a detailed overview of data processing and data storage. In addition, if you have any questions about data protection-related topics, you can always contact those responsible.

Information about the specific payment providers can be found in the following sections, if any.

Social Media

Social Media Privacy Policy Summary 👥 Data subjects: Visitorsto the website 🤝 Purpose: Presentation and optimization of our service, contact with visitors, interested parties, etc., advertising 📓 Data processed: Data such as telephone numbers, e-mail addresses, contact data, data on user behavior, information about your device and your IP address. 📅 storage period: depending on the social media platforms used, ⚖️ legal basis: Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR (consent), Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR (legitimate interests)

What is social media?

In addition to our website, we are also active in various social media platforms. Data of users may be processed so that we can specifically address users who are interested in us via social networks. In addition, elements of a social media platform may also be embedded directly in our website. This is the case, for example, if you click on a so-called social button on our website and are redirected directly to our social media presence. So-called social media or social media refers to websites and apps through which registered members can produce content, exchange content openly or in certain groups and network with other members.

Why do we use social media?

For years, social media platforms have been the place where people communicate and connect online. With our social media presences, we can bring our products and services closer to interested parties. The social media elements integrated on our website help you to switch to our social media content quickly and without complications.

The data stored and processed through your use of a social media channel has the primary purpose of being able to carry out web analyses. The aim of these analyses is to be able to develop more accurate and personal marketing and advertising strategies. Depending on your behavior on a social media platform, the evaluated data can be used to draw appropriate conclusions about your interests and create so-called user profiles. This also allows the platforms to present you with tailor-made advertisements. In most cases, cookies are set in your browser for this purpose, which store data on your usage behavior.

As a rule, we assume that we remain responsible under data protection law, even if we use the services of a social media platform. However, the European Court of Justice has ruled that in certain cases, the operator of the social media platform may be jointly responsible with us within the meaning of Art. 26 GDPR. Insofar as this is the case, we point this out separately and work on the basis of a corresponding agreement. The essence of the agreement is then reproduced below at the affected platform.

Please note that when using the social media platforms or our built-in elements, data from you may also be processed outside the European Union, as many social media channels, such as Facebook or Twitter, are American companies. As a result, you may no longer be able to claim or enforce your rights in relation to your personal data so easily.

What data is processed?

Exactly which data is stored and processed depends on the respective provider of the social media platform. But usually it is data such as telephone numbers, e-mail addresses, data that you enter in a contact form, user data such as which buttons you click, who you like or follow who, when you visited which pages, information about your device and your IP address. Most of this data is stored in cookies. Especially if you yourself have a profile on the visited social media channel and are logged in, data can be linked to your profile.

All data collected via a social media platform is also stored on the servers of the providers. Thus, only the providers have access to the data and can give you the appropriate information or make changes.

If you want to know exactly which data is stored and processed by the social media providers and how you can object to data processing, you should carefully read the respective data protection declaration of the company. Even if you have questions about data storage and data processing or want to assert corresponding rights, we recommend that you contact the provider directly.

Duration of data processing

We will inform you about the duration of the data processing below, if we have further information. For example, the social media platform Facebook stores data until it is no longer needed for its own purpose. However, customer data that is compared with your own user data will be deleted within two days. In general, we process personal data only for as long as is strictly necessary for the provision of our services and products. If, as in the case of accounting, for example, it is required by law, this storage period can also be exceeded.

Right to object

You also have the right and the possibility to revoke your consent to the use of cookies or third parties such as embedded social media elements at any time. This works either via our cookie management tool or via other opt-out functions. For example, you can also prevent data collection by cookies by managing, deactivating or deleting the cookies in your browser.

Since social media tools may use cookies, we also recommend our general privacy policy on cookies. In order to find out exactly which data is stored and processed by you, you should read the data protection declarations of the respective tools.

Legal basis

If you have consented to your data being processed and stored by integrated social media elements, this consent is the legal basis for data processing (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). In principle, your data will also be stored and processed on the basis of our legitimate interest (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR) in fast and good communication with you or other customers and business partners. Nevertheless, we only use the tools if you have given your consent. Most social media platforms also set cookies in your browser to store data. That's why we recommend that you read our privacy text about cookies carefully and look at the privacy policy or cookie policy of the respective service provider.

Information on specific social media platforms can be found in the following sections, if any.

What are Facebook tools?

We use selected Tools from Facebook on our website. Facebook is a social media network of Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2 Ireland. With the help of these tools, we can offer you and people who are interested in our products and services the best possible offer.

If data is collected and forwarded from you via our embedded Facebook elements or via our Facebook page (fan page), both we and Facebook Ireland Ltd. are responsible for this. Facebook is solely responsible for the further processing of this data. Our joint commitments have also been enshrined in a publicly available agreement under https://www.facebook.com/legal/controller_addendum. It states, for example, that we must clearly inform you about the use of Facebook tools on our site. Furthermore, we are also responsible for ensuring that the tools are securely integrated into our website under data protection law. Facebook, on the other hand, is responsible, for example, for the data security of Facebook products. If you have any questions about data collection and data processing by Facebook, you can contact the company directly. If you address the question to us, we are obliged to forward it to Facebook.

In the following, we give an overview of the various Facebook tools, which data is sent to Facebook and how you can delete this data.

In addition to many other products, Facebook also offers the so-called "Facebook Business Tools". This is the official name of Facebook. However, since the term is hardly known, we have decided to call them only Facebook tools. These include:

• Facebook pixel
• social plug-ins (such as .B the "Like" or "Share" button)
• Facebook Login
• Account Kit
• APIs (programming interface)
• SDKs (collection of programming tools)
• Platform Integrations
• Plugins
• Codes
• Specifications
• Documentation
• Technologies and Services

Through these tools, Facebook extends services and has the ability to obtain information about user activity outside of Facebook.

Why do we use Facebook tools on our website?

We only want to show our services and products to people who are really interested in them. With the help of advertisements (Facebook ads), we can reach exactly these people. In order for users to be shown suitable advertising, however, Facebook needs information about people's wishes and needs. Thus, the company is provided with information about user behavior (and contact data) on our website. As a result, Facebook collects better user data and can show interested people the appropriate advertising about our products or services. The tools thus enable tailor-made advertising campaigns on Facebook.

Data about your behavior on our website is what Facebook calls "event data". These are also used for measurement and analysis services. Facebook can thus create "campaign reports" on our behalf about the impact of our advertising campaigns. Furthermore, analyses give us a better insight into how you use our services, website or products. As a result, we use some of these tools to optimize your user experience on our website. For example, you can use the social plug-ins to share content on our site directly on Facebook.

What data is stored by Facebook tools?

By using individual Facebook tools, personal data (customer data) can be sent to Facebook. Depending on the tools used, customer data such as name, address, telephone number and IP address can be sent.

Facebook uses this information to match the data with the data it has about you (if you are a Facebook member). Before customer data is transmitted to Facebook, a so-called "hashing" takes place. This means that an arbitrarily large data set is transformed into a string. This is also used to encrypt data.

In addition to the contact data, "event data" is also transmitted. "Event Data" refers to the information we receive about you on our website. For example, which subpages you visit or which products you buy from us. Facebook does not share the information it receives with third parties (such as advertisers) unless the company has explicit permission or is legally required to do so. "Event data" can also be linked to contact data. This allows Facebook to offer better personalized advertising. After the already mentioned matching process, Facebook deletes the contact data again.

In order to be able to deliver advertisements in an optimized way, Facebook only uses the event data if it has been combined with other data (which has been collected by Facebook in other ways). Facebook also uses this event data for security, protection, development and research purposes. Much of this data is transmitted to Facebook via cookies. Cookies are small text files that are used to store data or information in browsers. Depending on the tools used and whether you are a Facebook member, a different number of cookies are created in your browser. In the descriptions of the individual Facebook tools, we go into more detail about individual Facebook cookies. General information about the use of Facebook cookies can also be found on https://www.facebook.com/policies/cookies.

How long and where is the data stored?

In principle, Facebook stores data until it is no longer needed for its own services and Facebook products. Facebook has servers all over the world where its data is stored. However, customer data will be deleted within 48 hours after it has been compared with your own user data.

How can I delete my data or prevent data storage?

In accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation, you have the right to information, correction, portability and deletion of your data.

A complete deletion of the data will only take place if you completely delete your Facebook account. Here's how deleting your Facebook account works:

1) Click settings on the right side of Facebook.

2) Then click on "Your Facebook information" in the left column.

3) Now click "Deactivation and Deletion".

4) Now select "Delete Account" and then click "Next and Delete Account"

5) Now enter your password, click "Next" and then "Delete Account"

The data that Facebook receives via our site is stored, among other things, via cookies (e.B. in the case of social plugins). In your browser you can deactivate, delete or manage individual or all cookies. Depending on which browser you use, this works in different ways. The following instructions show how to manage cookies in your browser:

Chrome: Delete, enable, and manage cookies in Chrome

Safari: Manage cookies and website data with Safari

Firefox: Delete cookies to remove data that websites have placed on your computer

Internet Explorer: Delete and manage cookies

Microsoft Edge: Delete and manage cookies

If you do not want cookies in principle, you can set up your browser so that it always informs you when a cookie is to be set. This allows you to decide for each individual cookie whether you allow it or not.

Legal basis

If you have consented to your data being processed and stored by integrated Facebook tools, this consent is the legal basis for data processing (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). In principle, your data will also be stored and processed on the basis of our legitimate interest (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR) in fast and good communication with you or other customers and business partners. Nevertheless, we only use the tools if you have given your consent. Most social media platforms also set cookies in your browser to store data. That's why we recommend that you read our privacy text about cookies carefully and look at Facebook's privacy policy or cookie policy.

Facebook also processes data in the USA. We would like to point out that, in the opinion of the European Court of Justice, there is currently no adequate level of protection for data transfer to the USA. This can entail various risks to the lawfulness and security of data processing.

Facebook uses standard contractual clauses approved by the EU Commission (= Art. 46 para. 2 and 3 GDPR) as the basis for data processing for recipients based in third countries (outside the European Union, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, in particular in the USA) or for data transfer there. These clauses oblige Facebook to comply with the EU level of data protection when processing relevant data outside the EU. These clauses are based on an implementing decision of the EU Commission. You can find the resolution as well as the clauses here: https://ec.europa.eu/germany/news/20210604-datentransfers-eu_de.

We hope we have provided you with the most important information about the use and data processing by the Facebook tools. If you want to learn more about how Facebook uses your data, we recommend that you follow the data policies on https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/update.

Facebook Social Plug-ins Privacy Policy

On our website, so-called social plug-ins of the company Facebook Inc. are integrated. You can recognize these buttons by the classic Facebook logo, such as the "Like" button (the hand with your thumb raised) or by a unique "Facebook plug-in" marking. A social plug-in is a small part of Facebook that is integrated into our site. Each plug-in has its own function. The most commonly used features are the well-known "Like" and "Share" buttons.

The following social plug-ins are offered by Facebook:

• "Save" button
• Like button, share, send and quote
• Page plug-in
• Comments
• Messenger plug-in
• Embedded posts and video players
• Group plug-in

On https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins, you can find more information about how each plug-in is used. We use the social plug-ins on the one hand to offer you a better user experience on our site, on the other hand because Facebook can optimize our advertisements.

If you have a Facebook account or have visited facebook.com before, Facebook has already set at least one cookie in your browser. In this case, your browser sends information to Facebook via this cookie as soon as you visit our site or interact with social plug-ins (e.B.dem "Like" button).

The information received will be deleted or anonymized within 90 days. According to Facebook, this data includes your IP address, which website you have visited, the date, time and other information concerning your browser.

In order to prevent Facebook from collecting a lot of data during your visit to our website and connecting it to the Facebook data, you must log out of Facebook during your visit to the website.

If you are not logged in to Facebook or do not have a Facebook account, your browser sends less information to Facebook because you have fewer Facebook cookies. Nevertheless, data such as your IP address or which website you visit may be transmitted to Facebook. We would also like to expressly point out that we do not know exactly about the exact contents of the data. However, according to our current state of knowledge, we try to inform you as much as possible about the data processing. You can also read how Facebook uses the data in the company's data policy under https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/update.

The following cookies are set in your browser at least when you visit a website with social plug-ins from Facebook:

Name: dpr
Value: no indication
Purpose: This cookie is used to make the social plug-ins work on our website.
Expiration date: after the end of the session

Name: fr

Purpose of use: The cookie is also necessary for the plug-ins to work properly.
Expiration date: after 3 months

Note: These cookies have been set after a test, even if you are not a Facebook member.

If you are logged in to Facebook, you can change your settings for advertisements under https://www.facebook.com/ads/preferences/?entry_product=ad_settings_screen yourself. If you are not a Facebook user, you can generally manage your usage-based online advertising on http://www.youronlinechoices.com/de/praferenzmanagement/. There you have the possibility to deactivate or activate providers.

If you want to learn more about Facebook's privacy, we recommend the company's own data policies on https://www.facebook.com/policy.php.

Instagram Privacy Policy

Instagram Privacy Policy Summary 👥 Data subjects: Visitorsto the website 🤝 Purpose: Optimizationof our service 📓 Data processed: Data such as data on user behavior, information about your device and your IP address.More details can be found below in the privacy policy. 📅 storage period: until Instagram no longer needs the data for its purposes ⚖️ legal basis: Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR (consent), Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR (legitimate interests)

What is Instagram?

We have integrated functions of Instagram on our website. Instagram is a social media platform of the company Instagram LLC, 1601 Willow Rd, Menlo Park CA 94025, USA. Instagram has been a subsidiary of Facebook Inc. since 2012 and is one of the Facebook products. Embedding Instagram content on our website is called embedding. This allows us to show you content such as buttons, photos or videos from Instagram directly on our website. When you visit websites of our website that have integrated an Instagram function, data is transmitted to Instagram, stored and processed. Instagram uses the same systems and technologies as Facebook. Your data will thus be processed across all Facebook companies.

In the following, we want to give you a more detailed insight into why Instagram collects data, what data it is and how you can largely control data processing. Since Instagram is part of Facebook Inc., we obtain our information from the Instagram guidelines on the one hand, but also from the Facebook data guidelines themselves on the other.

Instagram is one of the most famous social media networks worldwide. Instagram combines the advantages of a blog with the advantages of audiovisual platforms such as YouTube or Vimeo. You can upload photos and short videos on "Insta" (as many of the users casually call the platform), edit them with various filters and also distribute them on other social networks. And if you don't want to be active yourself, you can only follow other interesting users.

Why do we use Instagram on our website?

Instagram is the social media platform that has really gone through the roof in recent years. And of course we have also reacted to this boom. We want you to feel as comfortable as possible on our website. That's why a varied preparation of our content is a matter of course for us. Through the embedded Instagram functions, we can enrich our content with helpful, funny or exciting content from the Instagram world. Since Instagram is a subsidiary of Facebook, the data collected can also be used for personalized advertising on Facebook. So our ads only get people who are really interested in our products or services.

Instagram also uses the collected data for measurement and analysis purposes. We get summarized statistics and thus more insight into your wishes and interests. It is important to mention that these reports do not identify you personally.

What data is stored by Instagram?

If you come across one of our pages that have Instagram features (such as Instagram images or plug-ins) built in, your browser will automatically contact Instagram's servers. Data is sent, stored and processed to Instagram. Regardless of whether you have an Instagram account or not. This includes information about our website, about your computer, about purchases made, about advertisements you see and how you use our offer. Furthermore, the date and time of your interaction with Instagram are also stored. If you have an Instagram account or are logged in, Instagram stores significantly more data about you.

Facebook distinguishes between customer data and event data. We assume that this is exactly the case with Instagram. Customer data are, for example, name, address, telephone number and IP address. This customer data will only be transmitted to Instagram if you have previously been "hashed". Hashing means that a record is turned into a string. This allows you to encrypt the contact data. In addition, the above-mentioned "event data" will also be transmitted. By "event data", Facebook – and consequently Instagram – understands data about your user behaviour. It can also happen that contact data is combined with event data. The contact data collected will be compared with the data that Instagram already has about you.

The collected data is transmitted to Facebook via small text files (cookies), which are usually set in your browser. Depending on the Instagram functions used and whether you have an Instagram account yourself, different amounts of data are stored.

We assume that data processing on Instagram works in the same way as on Facebook. This means that if you have an Instagram account or have visited www.instagram.com, Instagram has at least set a cookie. If this is the case, your browser sends information to Instagram via the cookie as soon as you come into contact with an Instagram function. At the latest after 90 days (after comparison) this data will be deleted or anonymized again. Although we have dealt intensively with the data processing of Instagram, we can not say exactly what data Instagram collects and stores exactly.

In the following, we show you cookies that are set in your browser at least when you click on an Instagram function (such as .B button or an Insta image). In our test, we assume that you don't have an Instagram account. If you are logged in to Instagram, of course, significantly more cookies are set in your browser.

These cookies were used in our test:

Purpose: This cookie is most likely set for security reasons to prevent counterfeiting of requests. However, we could not find out more precisely.
Expiry date: after one year

Purpose: This cookie is used for Marketing Purposes of Instagram.
Expiration date: after the end of the session

Note: We cannot claim to be complete here. Which cookies are set in the individual case depends on the embedded functions and your use of Instagram.

How long and where is the data stored?

Instagram shares the information it receives between the Facebook Businesses with external partners and with people you connect with around the world. The data processing takes place in compliance with your own data policy. Your data is distributed on Facebook servers around the world, among other things for security reasons. Most of these servers are located in the USA.

How can I delete my data or prevent data storage?

Thanks to the General Data Protection Regulation, you have the right to information, portability, correction and deletion of your data. In instagram settings, you can manage your data. If you want to completely erase your data on Instagram, you need to delete your Instagram account permanently.

Here's how instagram account deletion works:

First, open the Instagram app. On your profile page, go down and click on "Help Center". Now you come to the company's website. On the website, click Manage Your Account, and then click Delete Your Account.

If you delete your account altogether, Instagram will delete posts such as your photos and status updates. Information that other people have shared about you does not belong to your account and will therefore not be deleted.

As mentioned above, Instagram stores your data primarily through cookies. You can manage, deactivate or delete these cookies in your browser. Depending on your browser, the management always works a bit differently. Here we show you the instructions of the most important browsers.

Chrome: Delete, enable, and manage cookies in Chrome

Safari: Manage cookies and website data with Safari

Firefox: Delete cookies to remove data that websites have placed on your computer

Internet Explorer: Delete and manage cookies

Microsoft Edge: Delete and manage cookies

You can also set up your browser so that you are always informed when a cookie is to be set. Then you can always decide individually whether you want to allow the cookie or not.

Legal basis

If you have consented to your data being processed and stored by integrated social media elements, this consent is the legal basis for data processing (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). In principle, your data will also be stored and processed on the basis of our legitimate interest (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR) in fast and good communication with you or other customers and business partners. Nevertheless, we only use the integrated social media elements if you have given your consent. Most social media platforms also set cookies in your browser to store data. That's why we recommend that you read our privacy text about cookies carefully and look at the privacy policy or cookie policy of the respective service provider.

Instagram or Facebook also processes data in the USA. We would like to point out that, in the opinion of the European Court of Justice, there is currently no adequate level of protection for data transfer to the USA. This can entail various risks to the lawfulness and security of data processing.

Facebook uses standard contractual clauses approved by the EU Commission (= Art. 46 para. 2 and 3 GDPR) as the basis for data processing for recipients based in third countries (outside the European Union, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, in particular in the USA) or for data transfer there.

Google reCAPTCHA Privacy Policy

Google reCAPTCHA Privacy Policy Summary 👥 Data subjects: Visitors to the website 🤝 Purpose: Optimization of our service and protection against cyber attacks 📓 Processed data: Data such as IP address, browser information, your operating system, limited location and usage dataYou can find more details on this further down in this privacy policy. 📅 storage period: depending on the stored data ⚖️ legal basis: Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR (consent), Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR (legitimate interests)

What is reCAPTCHA?

Our ultimate goal is to secure and protect our website in the best possible way for you and for us. To ensure this, we use Google reCAPTCHA from Google Inc. For the European region, Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street Dublin 4, Ireland) is responsible for all Google services. With reCAPTCHA we can determine whether you are really a human being of flesh and blood and not a robot or other spam software. By spam we mean any unwanted information, electronically, that comes to us in an unsolicited way. With the classic CAPTCHAS, you usually had to solve text or image puzzles to check. With reCAPTCHA from Google, we usually don't have to bother you with such puzzles. In most cases, it is sufficient if you simply tick the box and confirm that you are not a bot. With the new Invisible reCAPTCHA version, you don't even have to check the box. You can find out exactly how this works and, above all, which data is used for this in the course of this data protection declaration.

reCAPTCHA is a free captcha service from Google that protects websites from spam software and abuse by non-human visitors. Most often, this service is used when you fill out forms on the Internet. A captcha service is a type of automatic Turing test designed to ensure that an action on the Internet is taken by a human, not a bot. In the classic Turing test (named after the computer scientist Alan Turing), a human determines the distinction between bot and human. With captchas, this is also done by the computer or a software program. Classic captchas work with small tasks that are easy for humans to solve, but have considerable difficulties for machines. With reCAPTCHA you no longer have to actively solve puzzles. The tool uses modern risk techniques to distinguish people from bots. Here you only have to tick the text field "I am not a robot" or with Invisible reCAPTCHA even this is no longer necessary. With reCAPTCHA, a JavaScript element is integrated into the source code and then the tool runs in the background and analyzes your user behavior. From these user actions, the software calculates a so-called captcha score. Google calculates with this score even before the captcha input how high the probability is that you are a human. reCAPTCHA or Captchas in general are always used when bots could manipulate or abuse certain actions (such as .B registrations, surveys, etc.).

Why do we use reCAPTCHA on our website?

We only want to welcome flesh and blood people to our side. Bots or spam software of all kinds can safely stay at home. That's why we pull out all the stops to protect ourselves and offer you the best possible user experience. For this reason, we use Google reCAPTCHA from Google. So we can be pretty sure that we will remain a "bot-free" website. By using reCAPTCHA, data is transmitted to Google to determine whether you are really a human being. reCAPTCHA therefore serves the security of our website and subsequently also your security. For example, without reCAPTCHA, it could happen that a bot registers as many e-mail addresses as possible during a registration in order to "spawn" forums or blogs with unwanted advertising content. With reCAPTCHA we can avoid such bot attacks.

What data is stored by reCAPTCHA?

reCAPTCHA collects personal data from users in order to determine whether the actions on our website really originate from people. This means that the IP address and other data that Google needs for the reCAPTCHA service can be sent to Google. IP addresses within the member states of the EU or other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area are almost always shortened before the data ends up on a server in the USA. The IP address will not be combined with other Google data unless you are logged in with your Google Account while using reCAPTCHA. First, the reCAPTCHA algorithm checks whether Google cookies from other Google services (YouTube. Gmail, etc.) are placed. reCAPTCHA then sets an additional cookie in your browser and captures a snapshot of your browser window.

The following list of collected browser and user data does not claim to be exhaustive. Rather, they are examples of data that, according to our knowledge, are processed by Google.

• Referrer URL (the address of the page from which the visitor comes)
• IP address (e.B. 256.123.123.1)
• Information about the operating system (the software that enables the operation of your computer. Known operating systems are Windows, Mac OS X or Linux)
• Cookies (small text files that store data in your browser)
• Mouse and keyboard behavior (every action you perform with the mouse or keyboard is saved)
• Date and language settings (which language or date you have preset on your PC will be saved)
• All Javascript objects (JavaScript is a programming language that allows websites to adapt to the user. JavaScript objects can collect all sorts of data under one name)
• Screen resolution (indicates how many pixels the image display consists of)

It is undisputed that Google uses and analyzes this data even before you click on the check mark "I am not a robot". With the Invisible reCAPTCHA version, even the ticking is omitted and the whole recognition process runs in the background. How much and which data Google stores exactly, you do not learn from Google in detail.

The following cookies are used by reCAPTCHA: Here we refer to the reCAPTCHA demo version of Google under https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api2/demo. All these cookies require a unique identifier for tracking purposes. Here is a list of cookies that Google reCAPTCHA has set on the demo version:

Expiration date: after 10 minutes

Note: This list cannot claim to be exhaustive, as experience has shown that Google changes the choice of its cookies again and again.

How long and where is the data stored?

By inserting reCAPTCHA, data is transferred from you to the Google server. Where exactly this data is stored, Google does not clearly present, even after repeated requests. Without having received confirmation from Google, it can be assumed that data such as mouse interaction, length of stay on the website or language settings are stored on Google's European or American servers. The IP address that your browser transmits to Google is generally not merged with other Google data from other Google services. However, if you are logged in to your Google Account while using the reCAPTCHA plug-in, the data will be merged. For this, the deviating data protection regulations of the company Google apply.

How can I delete my data or prevent data storage?

If you do not want any data about you and your behavior to be transmitted to Google, you must completely log out of Google and delete all Google cookies before you visit our website or use the reCAPTCHA software. In principle, the data is automatically transmitted to Google as soon as you visit our site. To delete this data, you must contact Google Support on https://support.google.com/?hl=de&tid=111816798.

Therefore, by using our website, you agree that Google LLC and its representatives automatically collect, process and use data.

Please note that when using this tool, your data may also be stored and processed outside the EU. Most third countries (including the USA) are not considered secure under current European data protection law. Data to insecure third countries may therefore not simply be transferred, stored and processed there, unless there are suitable guarantees (such as EU standard contractual clauses) between us and the non-European service provider.

Legal basis

If you have consented to The use of Google reCAPTCHA, the legal basis for the corresponding data processing is this consent. According to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR (consent), this consent represents the legal basis for the processing of personal data, as it may occur when collected by Google reCAPTCHA.

On our part, there is also a legitimate interest in using Google reCAPTCHA to optimize our online service and make it more secure. The corresponding legal basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR (Legitimate Interests). Nevertheless, we only use Google reCAPTCHA if you have given your consent.

Google also processes data in the USA. We would like to point out that, in the opinion of the European Court of Justice, there is currently no adequate level of protection for data transfer to the USA. This can entail various risks to the lawfulness and security of data processing.

As a basis for data processing for recipients based in third countries (outside the European Union, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, in particular in the USA) or for data transfer there, Google uses standard contractual clauses approved by the EU Commission (= Art. 46 para. 2 and 3 GDPR). These clauses oblige Google to comply with the EU level of data protection when processing relevant data outside the EU. These clauses are based on an implementing decision of the EU Commission. You can find the resolution as well as the clauses here: https://ec.europa.eu/germany/news/20210604-datentransfers-eu_de.

You can learn a little more about reCAPTCHA on Google's web developer page on https://developers.google.com/recaptcha/. Although Google goes into more detail about the technical development of the reCAPTCHA, exact information about data storage and data protection-relevant topics can also be found there in vain. A good overview of the basic use of data at Google can be found in the in-house privacy policy on https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/.

Cloudflare Privacy Policy

Cloudflare Privacy Policy Summary 👥 Data subjects: Visitorsto the website 🤝 Purpose: Optimisation of our service (in order to be able to load the website faster) 📓 Data processed: Data such as IP address, contact and protocol information, security fingerprints and performance data for websitesMore details can be found further down in this privacy policy. 📅 storage period: most of the data is stored for less than 24 hours ⚖️ legal bases: Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR (consent), Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR (legitimate interests)

What is Cloudflare?

On this website we use Cloudflare from Cloudflare, Inc. (101 Townsend St., San Francisco, CA 94107, USA) to make our website faster and more secure. Cloudflare uses cookies and processes user data. Cloudflare, Inc. is an American company that offers a content delivery network and various security services. These services are located between the user and our hosting provider. What all this means exactly, we try to explain in more detail below.

A Content Delivery Network (CDN), such as that provided by Cloudflare, is nothing more than a network of connected servers. Cloudflare has distributed such servers around the world to get websites to your screen faster. Quite simply, Cloudflare creates copies of our website and places them on their own servers. When you visit our website now, a load-sharing system ensures that most of our website is delivered by the server that can show you our website the fastest. The distance of data transmission to your browser is significantly shortened by a CDN. Thus, the content of our website is delivered to you by Cloudflare not only from our hosting server, but from servers from all over the world. The use of Cloudflare is particularly helpful for users from abroad, as the site can be delivered from a nearby server. In addition to the fast delivery of websites, Cloudflare also offers various security services, such as DDoS protection or the Web Application Firewall.

Why do we use Cloudflare on our website?

Of course, we want to offer you the best possible service with our website. Cloudflare helps us make our website faster and more secure. Cloudflare offers us both web optimizations and security services, such as DDoS protection and web firewall. This includes a reverse proxy and the content distribution network (CDN). Cloudflare blocks threats and limits abusive bots and crawlers that waste our bandwidth and server resources. By storing our website on local data centers and blocking spam software, Cloudflare allows us to reduce our broadband usage by about 60%. Delivering content through a data center near you and some web optimizations done there reduces the average web page load time by about half. According to Cloudflare, the setting "I'm Under Attack Mode" can mitigate further attacks by displaying a JavaScript calculation task that must be solved before a user can access a website. Overall, this makes our website much more powerful and less susceptible to spam or other attacks.

What data does Cloudflare process?

Cloudflare generally only forwards data that is controlled by website operators. The content is therefore not determined by Cloudflare, but always by the website operator himself. In addition, Cloudflare may collect certain information about the use of our website and process data that is sent by us or for which Cloudflare has received appropriate instructions. In most cases, Cloudflare receives data such as IP address, contact and protocol information, security fingerprints, and website performance data. For example, log data helps Cloudflare detect new threats. In this way, Cloudflare can guarantee a high level of security protection for our website. Cloudflare processes this data as part of the Services in compliance with applicable laws. Of course, this also includes the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

For security reasons, Cloudflare also uses a cookie. The cookie (__cfduid) is used to identify individual users behind a shared IP address and to apply security settings to each individual user. This cookie becomes very useful, for example, if you use our website from a location where a number of infected computers are located. However, if your computer is trustworthy, we can recognize this by means of the cookie. This allows you to surf through our website unhindered and worry-free, despite infected PCs in your environment. It is also important to know that this cookie does not store any personal data. This cookie is strictly necessary for Cloudflare security features and cannot be disabled.

Purpose: Security settings for each individual visitorExpiration

Cloudflare also works with third-party providers. They may only process personal data under the direction of Cloudflare and in accordance with the privacy policy and other confidentiality and security measures. Cloudflare does not pass on any personal data without our explicit consent.

How long and where is the data stored?

Cloudflare stores your information primarily in the United States and the European Economic Area. Cloudflare can transfer and access the information described above from around the world. In general, Cloudflare stores user-level data for Free, Pro, and Business domains for less than 24 hours. For enterprise domains that have Cloudflare Logs (formerly Enterprise LogShare or ELS) enabled, the data can be stored for up to 7 days. However, if IP addresses trigger security warnings on Cloudflare, there may be exceptions to the storage period listed above.

How can I delete my data or prevent data storage?

Cloudflare only keeps data logs for as long as necessary, and in most cases this data is deleted within 24 hours. Cloudflare also does not store any personal data, such as your IP address. However, there is information that Cloudflare stores indefinitely as part of its permanent logs to improve the overall performance of Cloudflare Resolver and identify any security risks. You can find out exactly which permanent logs are stored on https://www.cloudflare.com/application/privacypolicy/. All data that Cloudflare collects (temporary or permanent) is cleaned of all personal data. All permanent logs are also anonymized by Cloudflare.

Cloudflare agrees in its privacy policy that it is not responsible for the content it receives. For example, if you ask Cloudflare whether they can update or delete your content, Cloudflare generally refers to us as the website operator. You can also completely prevent the entire collection and processing of your data by Cloudflare by disabling the execution of script code in your browser or by integrating a script blocker into your browser.

Legal basis

If you have consented to Cloudflare being used, the legal basis for the corresponding data processing is this consent. According to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR (consent), this consent constitutes the legal basis for the processing of personal data, as it may occur when collected by Cloudflare.

We also have a legitimate interest in using Cloudflare to optimize our online service and make it more secure. The corresponding legal basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR (Legitimate Interests). Nevertheless, we only use Cloudflare if you have given your consent.

Cloudflare also processes data in the USA. We would like to point out that, in the opinion of the European Court of Justice, there is currently no adequate level of protection for data transfer to the USA. This can entail various risks to the lawfulness and security of data processing.

Cloudflare uses standard contractual clauses approved by the EU Commission (= Art. 46 para. 2 and 3 GDPR) as the basis for data processing by recipients based in third countries (outside the European Union, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, in particular in the USA) or for data transfer there. These clauses oblige Cloudflare to comply with the EU level of data protection when processing relevant data outside the EU. These clauses are based on an implementing decision of the EU Commission. You can find the resolution as well as the clauses here: https://ec.europa.eu/germany/news/20210604-datentransfers-eu_de.
