6. Google Universal Analytics with IP anonymization

(1) This website uses Google Universal Analytics with IP anonymization, a web analysis service of Google Inc. ("Google"). Google Universal Analytics uses cookies. Information about your use of this website generated by the cookie will generally be transferred to a Google server in the United States and stored there. By activating IP anonymization on this website your IP address will however be masked by Google within member states of the European Union or other signatory states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before your data will be transferred to the United States. On behalf of the operator of this website Google will use such information to analyze your use of the website, to prepare reports about website activities, and to provide additional services related to website use and Internet use to the website operator.

(2) The IP address transmitted by your browser in connection with Google Universal Analytics will not be merged with any other data of Google.

(3) Beyond the cookie settings of your browser you can also prevent Google from tracking data generated by the cookie about your use of the website (including your IP address) as well as from processing such data by downloading and installing the browser plug-in that is available at the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.

(4) Please note that on this website Google Universal Analytics has been extended by the code "ga('set', 'anonymizeIp', true);" to guarantee anonymous tracking of IP addresses (so-called IP masking). As a result, IP addresses are processed in truncated form ruling out any possibility of associating an IP address directly with a particular person.

(5) We use Google Analytics in order to be able to analyze and continuously improve use of our website. The statistical data generated by Google Analytics allow us to improve our products and services and to make them more interesting to you as a user. For exceptional cases in which personal data are transferred to the United States Google and Profil have agreed on the Standard Contractual Clauses (“SCCs”) that have been published the European Commission on 4 June 2021 to ensure the adequate protection of your personal data. This has been necessary because there exists no adequacy decision by the Commission regarding the data protection standards of the USA. A copy of the SCCs can be obtained from Profil.

Terms of use: http://google.com/analytics/terms/de.html, overview of data privacy: https://www.google.com/analytics/learn/privacy.html?hl=de, and data privacy policy: http://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy.

 

7. Use of 2-click solution for social media plug-ins of Twitter and LinkedIn

(1) We currently use the following social media plug-ins: Twitter and LinkedIn. In this connection we use the so-called 2-click solution. This means that when you visit our website, as a general rule no personal data will initially be transferred to the providers of those plug-ins. The provider of the plug-in is identified on the box by the first letter or logo. The services are contacted or accessed from the server, so that instead of the visitor's IP address, only the server address will be transferred to Twitter and LinkedIn. Only if you click on the link in order to share content, will the plug-in provider receive information that you have accessed the corresponding page of our website. In addition, the data referenced in section 3 of this Data Privacy Policy will be transferred. By activating the plugin personal data will therefore be transmitted to providers in the United States and stored there. Because plugin providers collect data in particular by using cookies, we recommend that you delete all cookies in the security settings of your browser before clicking on the gray-shaded box.

(2) We neither have control over collected data or data processing procedures of plugin providers nor do we know the full extent to which data are collected, for what purposes data are processed, or for how long data are stored by plugin providers. We also have no information about the erasure of collected data by plugin providers.

(3) Plug-in providers store such data as user profiles and use them for advertising and market research purposes and/or for designing their websites in conformity with user preferences. Such an analysis is made in particular (whether or not users are logged in) to show advertising in conformity with user preferences and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You have the right to object to the creation of such a user profile. To exercise this right, you must contact the appropriate plugin provider. Through plugins we provide you with the opportunity to interact with social networks and other users, allowing us to improve our products and services and make them more interesting to you as the user.

(4) Data will be transferred whether or not you have an account with a plugin provider or are logged in with a plugin provider. If you are logged in with a plugin provider, your data will be directly associated with your account with the plugin provider. If you click on the button and, e.g., link the page, the plugin provider will store that information in your user account as well and share that information publicly with your contacts. We recommend that you always log out from a social network after use, in particular however before you activate the button, as this will allow you to avoid association with your profile at the plugin provider.

(5) Additional information about the purpose and extent of data collection and processing by plugin providers is available in the data privacy policies of the various providers shown below. There, you will also find additional information about your rights and setting options to protect your privacy:

- Twitter Inc., 1355 Market St., Suite 900, San Francisco, California 94103, U.S.A.; LinkedIn Corporation, 2029 Stierlin Court, Mountain View, California 94043, U.S.A.; http://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy.

If you are logged in with Google, your data will be associated directly with your account. If you do not wish data to be associated with your Google profile, you have to log out before clicking the button. Google stores such data as user profiles and uses them for advertising and market research purposes and/or for designing its website in conformity with user preferences. Such an analysis is made in particular (whether or not users are logged in) to show advertising in conformity with user preferences and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You have the right to object to the creation of such a user profile. To exercise this right, you must contact Google.
