What personal data we collect and why we collect it

Important notice regarding data processing in connection with Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google Ireland Limited. If the party responsible for processing the data collected via this website is based outside the European Economic Area and Switzerland, then the processing of the data associated with Google Analytics will be carried out by Google LLC (with headquarters in the USA). Google Ireland Limited and Google LLC are together hereinafter referred to as “Google”.

Google Analytics uses “cookies”, which are text files placed on the website visitor’s computer, to help the website analyze how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie (including the truncated IP address) about the use of the website is transmitted to and stored by Google.

Google Analytics is used exclusively with the extension “_anonymizeIp ()” on this website. The extension guarantees an anonymization of the IP address by truncation and thus excludes a direct personal reference. With this extension, Google truncates the IP address of the website visitor in a member state of the European Union or in another state party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the entire IP address of the website visitor be transmitted to Google’s server and truncated in the USA. The IP address, which is provided by the website visitor’s browser using Google Analytics, will not be linked by Google with any other data held by Google.

On behalf of the website operator, Google will use this information to evaluate the use of the website, to compile reports on the website activity and to provide other websites and internet services to the website operator (§6 1 f RGPD). The legitimate interest in data processing lies in optimising this site, analysing the use of the site and adapting the content. The interest of users is adequately protected by the pseudonymisation of their data.

Google LLC has certified its compliance with the EU-US Data Protection Shield, offering a guarantee of compliance with European data protection laws. The data sent and coupled with the Google Analytics e.g. user ID, advertising ID cookie will be automatically deleted after 50 months. The deletion of data that has reached the storage deadline is carried out automatically once a month.

The website visitor can refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate setting in the browser. The website visitor can also prevent Google from collecting information (including the IP address) via cookies and from processing this information by downloading and installing this plugin in the browser http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

The website visitor can prevent the collection of data by Google Analytics by clicking on this link. An “opt-out cookie” will then be placed and will allow the site visitor not to be tracked while browsing the site.

More information about the processing and use of data by Google, the settings and the possibilities of deactivation can be found in the Google privacy policy: as well as in the Google ads settings. Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version).

reCAPTCHA

We use Google LLC’s (Google) reCAPTCHA service to protect form entries on your site. This service is used to differentiate between entries made by a human being and automated abuse. This involves sending the IP address and possibly other data required by Google for the reCAPTCHA service. For this purpose, your data will be communicated to Google and used by their services. However, your IP address will first be shortened by Google in the Member States of the European Union – or in other states that are part of the Agreement on the European Economic Area – and will thus be anonymous. In exceptional cases, your full IP address will be transmitted to a Google server in the US and then shortened. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of this service. The IP address provided by reCAPTCHA by your browser will not be merged with other Google data. This data collection is subject to the Google Privacy Policy. For more information about Google’s Privacy Policy, please visit: https://policies.google.com/privacy.

By using the reCAPTCHA service, you consent to the processing of data about you by Google in the manner and for the purposes set out above. Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version).
