Privacy Policy

We are very pleased about your interest in our company. Data protection is a particularly high priority for the management of ContentScope GmbH. It is possible to use the ContentScope GmbH website without providing any personal data. However, if a person concerned wishes to make use of special services offered by our company via our website, it may be necessary to process personal data. If it is necessary to process personal data and there is no legal basis for such processing, we generally obtain the consent of the person concerned. Personal data, such as the name, address, email address or telephone number of a data subject, is always processed in accordance with the Basic Data Protection Regulation and in compliance with the country-specific data protection provisions applicable to ContentScope GmbH. By means of this data protection declaration, our company wishes to inform the public about the type, scope and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process. Furthermore, this data protection declaration informs affected persons about the rights to which they are entitled. As the person responsible for processing, ContentScope GmbH has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure that the personal data processed via this Internet site is protected as completely as possible. Nevertheless, Internet-based data transmissions can, in principle, have security gaps, so that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every person concerned is free to transmit personal data to us by alternative means, for example by telephone.

1. Definitions

The ContentScope GmbH data protection declaration is based on the terms used by the European legislator for directives and regulations when the Basic Data Protection Regulation (DS-GVO) was issued. Our data protection declaration should be easy to read and understand for the public as well as for our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to explain the terms used in advance. We use the following terms, among others, in this data protection declaration:

a) Personal data

Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter referred to as ‘data subject’). An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier, or one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.

(b) Data subject

Data subject means any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data are processed by the controller.

(c) Processing

Processing is any operation or set of operations, performed upon personal data, whether or not by automatic means, such as collection, recording, organisation, organisation, filing, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.

(d) Restriction of processing

Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting their future processing.

(e) Profiling

Profiling is any automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of such personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyse or predict aspects relating to that natural person’s performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, conduct, location or change of location.

(f) Pseudonymisation

Pseudonymisation is the processing of personal data in such a way that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without additional information, provided that this additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organisational measures which ensure that the personal data is not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.

(g) Controllers or data controllers

Controller or controller shall mean the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or any other body which alone or jointly with others determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data. Where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union law or by the law of the Member States, provision may be made for the controller or for the specific criteria for his or her designation in accordance with Union law or the law of the Member States.

(h) Processor

Processor is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.

(i) Recipient

Recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body to whom personal data is disclosed, whether or not it is a third party. However, authorities which may receive personal data in the context of a specific investigation mandate under Union or national law shall not be considered as recipients.

.j) Third parties

Third party means any natural or legal person, public authority, agency or body other than the data subject, the controller(s), the processor(s) and the persons who, under the direct authority of the controller(s) or processor(s), are authorized to process the personal data

k) Consent

Consent shall mean any freely given specific and informed expression of the data subject’s will in an informed and unequivocal manner, in the form of a declaration or other unequivocal affirmative act by which the data subject signifies his or her consent to the processing of personal data relating to him or her.

2. Name and Address of the controller

Responsible in the sense of the basic data protection regulation, other data protection laws applicable in the member states of the European Union and other regulations with data protection character is the: ContentScope GmbH, Alte Jakobstraße 76, 10179 Berlin, Germany, Tel.: +49-30-9700 4330,
email: privacy@sooner.de (G-A-S) or privacy@soonereurope.com (all other territories)
Website: sooner.de (G-A-S) and soonereurope.com (all other territories), in the following text referred to as 'sooner'.

3. Name and Address of the Data Protection Officer

Every data subject can contact our data protection officer directly at any time with all questions and suggestions regarding data protection.

4. Cookies

The Internet pages of ContentScope GmbH use cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored on a computer system via an Internet browser. Numerous Internet pages and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier for the cookie. It consists of a string of characters which can be used to assign Internet pages and servers to the specific Internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This enables the Internet pages and servers visited to distinguish the individual browser of the person concerned from other Internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific Internet browser can be recognized and identified by means of the unique cookie ID. The use of cookies enables ContentScope GmbH to provide users of this website with more user-friendly services which would not be possible without the setting of cookies. By means of a cookie, the information and offers on our website can be optimized in the interest of the user(s). As already mentioned, cookies enable us to recognize the users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for the users to use our website. For example, users of a website that uses cookies do not have to enter their access data each time they visit the website, as this is done by the website and the cookie stored on the user’s computer system. Another example is the cookie of a shopping cart in the online shop. The online shop uses a cookie to remember the items that a person has placed in the virtual shopping cart. The person concerned can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of a corresponding setting in the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Furthermore, cookies that have already been set can be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all common Internet browsers. If the person concerned deactivates the setting of cookies in the Internet browser used, it is possible that not all functions of our website can be used to their full extent.

5. Collection of general data and information

Every time a person or automated system accesses the ContentScope GmbH website, a series of general data and information is recorded. This general data and information is stored in the server’s log files. The following can be recorded: (1) the browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system accesses our website (so-called referrer), (4) the sub-websites that are accessed via an accessing system on our website, (5) the date and time of an access to the Internet site, (6) an Internet protocol address (IP address), (7) the Internet service provider of the accessing system and (8) other similar data and information which serve to prevent danger in the event of attacks on our information technology systems. When using this general data and information, ContentScope GmbH will not draw any conclusions about the person concerned. Rather, this information is required in order to (1) deliver the contents of our website correctly, (2) optimize the contents of our website and the advertising for it, (3) ensure the long-term functionality of our information technology systems and the technology of our website, and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for prosecution in the event of a cyber attack. This anonymously collected data and information is therefore evaluated by ContentScope GmbH both statistically and with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in our company, in order to ultimately ensure an optimum level of protection for the personal data processed by us. The anonymous data in the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a person concerned.

6. Registration 

The data subject shall have the possibility to register on the Internet site of the controller by providing personal data. The personal data transmitted to the data controller is specified in the respective input mask used for registration. The personal data entered by the data subject are collected and stored solely for internal use by the data controller and for his own purposes. The controller may arrange for the personal data to be transferred to one or more companies, for example a parcel service, which will also use the personal data exclusively for internal use attributable to the controller. Furthermore, by registering on the Internet site of the data controller, the IP address assigned to the data subject by the Internet Service Provider (ISP), the date and time of registration are stored. This data is stored with the aim of preventing the misuse of our services and, if necessary, to enable the investigation of criminal offences. To this extent, the storage of this data is necessary to protect the person responsible for processing. As a matter of principle, this data will not be passed on to third parties, unless there is a legal obligation to do so or the passing on of the data serves criminal prosecution. The registration of the data subject under voluntary disclosure of personal data serves the data controller to offer the data subject content or services which, due to the nature of the matter, can only be offered to registered persons. Registered persons are free to modify the personal data provided during registration at any time or to have them completely deleted from the data stock of the data controller. The data controller shall at any time upon request provide any data subject with information as to which personal data relating to the data subject are stored. Furthermore, the data controller shall correct or delete personal data at the request or notification of the data subject, unless this is contrary to any statutory retention obligations. The entire team of the data controller shall be available to the data subject as contact persons in this context.

7. Subscription to our newsletters

On the ContentScope GmbH site, people are given the opportunity to subscribe to our company’s newsletter. The input mask used for this purpose indicates which personal data is transferred to the office responsible for processing when ordering the newsletter. ContentScope GmbH informs its users and business partners* at regular intervals by means of a newsletter about company offers. The newsletter from our company can only be received by the data subject if (1) the data subject has a valid email address and (2) the data subject registers to receive the newsletter. For legal reasons, a confirmation email will be sent to the email address registered for the first time by a person concerned for the purpose of receiving the newsletter using the double opt-in procedure. This confirmation mail is used to check whether the owner(s)* of the email address as the person concerned has authorized receipt of the newsletter. When registering for the newsletter, we also save the IP address assigned by the Internet Service Provider (ISP) of the computer system used by the person concerned at the time of registration as well as the date and time of registration. The collection of this data is necessary in order to be able to trace the (possible) misuse of the email address of a data subject at a later date and therefore serves to provide legal protection for the data controller. The personal data collected in the course of registering for the newsletter is used exclusively for sending our newsletter. Furthermore, subscribers to the newsletter could be informed by email if this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or for registration, as might be the case if the newsletter service is changed or if technical conditions change. The personal data collected within the scope of the newsletter service will not be passed on to third parties. The subscription to our newsletter can be cancelled by the person concerned at any time. The consent to the storage of personal data, which the person concerned has given us for the newsletter service, can be revoked at any time. For the purpose of revoking the consent, a corresponding link is included in every newsletter. It is also possible to unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time directly on the website of the data controller or to inform the data controller in another way.

8. Newsletter tracking

ContentScope GmbH’s newsletters contain so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic that is embedded in emails sent in HTML format to enable log file recording and log file analysis. This enables a statistical evaluation of the success or failure of online marketing campaigns. Using the embedded pixel-code, ContentScope GmbH can identify whether and when an email was opened by a person concerned and which links contained in the email were called up by the person concerned. Such personal data collected via the tracking pixels contained in the newsletters are stored and evaluated by the office responsible for processing in order to optimize newsletter dispatch and to adapt the content of future newsletters even better to the interests of the data subject. This personal data is not passed on to third parties. Data subjects are entitled at any time to revoke the separate declaration of consent given in this regard via the double opt-in procedure. After revocation, these personal data will be deleted by the body responsible for processing. ContentScope GmbH automatically interprets a cancellation of receipt of the newsletter as a revocation.

9. Contact option

Due to legal requirements, the ContentScope GmbH site contains information that enables rapid electronic contact with our company and direct communication with us, which also includes a general address for so-called electronic mail (email address). If a data subject contacts the office responsible for processing by email or using a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject is automatically stored. Such personal data transmitted voluntarily by a data subject to the controller are stored for the purposes of processing or contacting the data subject. Such personal data shall not be disclosed to third parties.

10. Routine erasure and blocking of personal data

The controller shall process and store personal data relating to the data subject only for the time necessary to achieve the purpose of storage or where provided for by the European Directive and Regulation or by any other law or regulation to which the controller is subject. If the storage purpose ceases to apply or if a storage period prescribed by the European Directive and Regulation Giver or any other relevant legislation expires, the personal data will be blocked or deleted as a matter of routine and in accordance with the law.

11. Rights of the data subject

(a) Right to confirmation

Every data subject has the right granted by the European Directives and Regulations to obtain confirmation from the controller as to whether personal data relating to him are being processed. If a data subject wishes to exercise this right of confirmation, he or she may contact the team of the controller at any time.

If this is the case, the data subject shall also have the right to obtain information on the appropriate safeguards in relation to the transfer.

If a data subject wishes to exercise this right of access, he or she may contact the team of the controller at any time.

(c) Right of rectification

Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European Directives and Regulations, to request the immediate rectification of incorrect personal data concerning him.

If a data subject wishes to exercise this right of rectification, he or she may contact the team of the controller at any time.

The personal data have been collected or otherwise processed for purposes for which they are no longer necessary.

The data subject withdraws the consent on which the processing was based pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) of the DPA or Article 9(2)(a) of the DPA, and there is no other legal basis for the processing.

The data subject lodges an objection to the processing pursuant to Article 21(1) DPA and there are no overriding legitimate reasons for the processing, or the data subject lodges an objection to the processing pursuant to Article 21(2) DPA.

The deletion of the personal data is necessary to comply with a legal obligation under Union law or the law of the Member States to which the controller is subject.

The personal data were collected in relation to information society services offered in accordance with Article 8 (1) of the DS-GVO.

d) Right of deletion (right to be forgotten)

Any person concerned by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European Directives and Regulations, to obtain from the controller the immediate erasure of personal data relating to him or her, where one of the following reasons applies and provided that the processing is not necessary:

the personal data have been collected or otherwise processed for purposes for which they are no longer necessary

If one of the above reasons applies and a data subject wishes to have personal data stored by ContentScope GmbH deleted, he or she can contact the team at the office responsible for processing at any time. The ContentScope GmbH team will ensure that the request for deletion is complied with immediately.

If the personal data has been made public by ContentScope GmbH and our company as the responsible party is obliged to delete the personal data in accordance with Art. 17 Para. 1 DS-GVO, ContentScope GmbH will take appropriate measures, including technical measures, taking into account the available technology and implementation costs, to inform other data controllers who process the published personal data that the data subject has requested these other data controllers to delete all links to this personal data or copies or replications of this personal data, insofar as the processing is not necessary. The ContentScope GmbH team will make the necessary arrangements in individual cases.

The accuracy of the personal data will be disputed by the person concerned for a period of time that enables the responsible party to verify the accuracy of the personal data.

The processing is unlawful, the data subject refuses to have the personal data deleted and instead demands that the use of the personal data be restricted.

The data controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but the data subject needs them in order to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.

The data subject has lodged an objection to the processing pursuant to Article 21 (1) of the DPA and it is not yet clear whether the legitimate reasons given by the controller outweigh those of the data subject.

e) Right to restrict processing

Every person affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European Directives and Regulations to demand that the responsible body restrict the processing if one of the following conditions is met: If one of the above conditions is met and a data subject wishes to demand that personal data stored by ContentScope GmbH be restricted, he/she can contact a person from the responsible body at any time. The ContentScope GmbH team will arrange for the processing to be restricted.

f) Right to data transferability

Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European Directives and Regulations, to receive the personal data concerning him/her provided by the data subject to a controller in a structured, common and machine-readable format.

Furthermore, when exercising their right to data transferability in accordance with Art. 20 Paragraph 1 DPA, the data subject has the right to obtain that personal data be transferred directly from one responsible person to another responsible person, insofar as this is technically feasible and provided that this does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of other persons. In order to assert the right to data transferability, the person concerned can contact the ContentScope GmbH team at any time.

g) Right of objection

Every person concerned by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European Directives and Regulations, to object at any time, for reasons arising from his or her particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning him or her that is carried out on the basis of Article 6(1)(e) or (f) of the DPA. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions. In the event of an objection, ContentScope GmbH will no longer process the personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling reasons for processing that are worthy of protection and outweigh the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims. If ContentScope GmbH processes personal data in order to carry out direct advertising, the data subject has the right to object to the processing of personal data for the purpose of such advertising at any time. This also applies to profiling, insofar as it is connected with such direct advertising. If the data subject objects vis-à-vis ContentScope GmbH to processing for the purposes of direct advertising, ContentScope GmbH will no longer process the personal data for these purposes. In addition, the data subject has the right to object, for reasons arising from his or her particular situation, to the processing of personal data relating to him or her that is carried out at ContentScope GmbH for scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes in accordance with Art. 89 para. 1 DS-GVO, unless such processing is necessary for the performance of a task in the public interest. In order to exercise the right of objection, the data subject may contact any person at ContentScope GmbH directly. The data subject is also free to exercise his/her right of objection in connection with the use of information society services, notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, by means of automated procedures involving technical specifications.

(h) Automated decisions in individual cases, including profiling

Every person concerned by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European Directives and Regulations, not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning him or her or significantly affects him or her in a similar way, provided that the decision (1) is not necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between the data subject and the responsible body, or (2) is authorised by Union or national legislation to which the responsible body is subject and that such legislation provides for appropriate measures to safeguard the rights and freedoms and legitimate interests of the data subject, or (3) is taken with the explicit consent of the data subject. If the decision (1) is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between the data subject and the responsible authority or (2) is made with the express consent of the data subject, ContentScope GmbH shall take appropriate measures to safeguard the rights and freedoms as well as the legitimate interests of the data subject, which shall include at least the right to obtain the intervention of a person from the responsible authority, to present its own standpoint and to contest the decision. If the data subject wishes to exercise rights relating to automated decisions, he or she may at any time contact a person at the controller.

(i) Right to withdraw consent for data protection

Every person affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European Directives and Regulations to revoke consent to the processing of personal data at any time. If the data subject wishes to exercise his or her right to revoke consent, he or she may at any time contact a person from the controller.

12. Privacy policy on the use and application of Facebook

The data controller has integrated components of the company Facebook on this website. Facebook is a social network.

A social network is a social meeting place operated on the Internet, an online community that usually enables people to communicate with each other and interact in virtual space. A social network can serve as a platform for the exchange of opinions and experiences, or enables the Internet community to provide personal or company-related information. Facebook enables users of the social network to create private profiles, upload photos and network via friend requests, among other things.

The operating company of Facebook is Facebook, Inc. 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA. If a data subject lives outside the USA or Canada, the body responsible for processing personal data is Facebook Ireland Ltd, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.

Each time a user accesses one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the data controller and on which a Facebook component (Facebook plug-in) has been integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective Facebook component to download a representation of the corresponding Facebook component from Facebook. A complete overview of all Facebook plug-ins is available at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/?locale=de_DE. As part of this technical process, Facebook is informed which specific subpage of our website is visited by the person concerned.

If the person concerned is logged in to Facebook at the same time, Facebook recognizes which specific subpage of our website the person concerned is visiting each time the person concerned calls up our website and for the entire duration of their stay on our website. This information is collected by the Facebook component and assigned by Facebook to the respective Facebook account of the person concerned. If the person concerned clicks one of the Facebook buttons integrated on our website, for example the “Like” button, or if the person concerned makes a comment, Facebook assigns this information to the person’s personal Facebook user account and stores this personal data.

Facebook receives information via the Facebook component that the data subject has visited our website if the data subject is logged in to Facebook at the same time when he or she accesses our website; this occurs regardless of whether the data subject clicks on the Facebook component or not. If the data subject does not want this information to be transmitted to Facebook, he or she can prevent the transmission by logging out of his or her Facebook account before accessing our website.

The data policy published by Facebook, which can be accessed at https://de-de.facebook.com/about/privacy/ provides information about the collection, processing and use of personal data by Facebook. It also explains which setting options Facebook offers to protect the privacy of the person concerned. In addition, various applications are available that make it possible to suppress data transmission to Facebook. Such applications can be used by the data subject to suppress data transfer to Facebook.

13. Privacy policy on the use and application of features of the Amazon Partner Program

As a participant in the Amazon Partner Program, the data controller has integrated Amazon components on this website. The Amazon Components have been designed by Amazon with the aim of enabling people to communicate through advertisements on various Amazon Group websites, including Amazon.co.uk, Local.Amazon.co.uk, Amazon.de, BuyVIP.com, Amazon.fr, Amazon.it and Amazon.es. BuyVIP.com against payment of a commission. The party responsible for processing may generate advertising revenue by using the Amazon components.

The operating company of these Amazon Components is Amazon EU S.à.r.l, 5 Rue Plaetis, L-2338 Luxembourg, Luxembourg.

Amazon sets a cookie on the information technology system of the person concerned. What cookies are has already been explained above. Each time a user accesses one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the data controller and on which an Amazon component has been integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective Amazon component to transmit data to Amazon for the purposes of online advertising and the settlement of commissions. As part of this technical procedure, Amazon obtains knowledge of personal data that is used by Amazon to trace the origin of orders received by Amazon and subsequently to enable commission settlement. Among other things, Amazon can trace that the person concerned has clicked on a partner link on our website.

The person concerned can prevent the setting of cookies by our website, as already described above, at any time by means of a corresponding setting in the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent Amazon from setting a cookie on the information technology system of the person concerned. In addition, cookies already set by Amazon can be deleted at any time via an internet browser or other software programs.

Further information and Amazon’s applicable data protection regulations can be found at https://www.amazon.de/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=3312401.

14. Privacy policy on the use and application of Google Analytics (with anonymisation function)

The data controller has integrated the Google Analytics component (with anonymisation function) on this website. Google Analytics is a web analysis service. Web analysis is the collection, collection and evaluation of data on the behaviour of visitors to websites. Among other things, a web analysis service collects data about which website a person concerned came to a website from (so-called referrers), which sub-pages of the website were accessed or how often and for how long a subpage was viewed. A web analysis is mainly used to optimize an internet page and for cost-benefit analysis of internet advertising.

The operating company of the Google Analytics component is Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.

The data controller uses the addition “_gat._anonymizeIp” for web analysis via Google Analytics. By means of this addition, the IP address of the Internet connection of the person concerned is shortened by Google and made anonymous if the access to our Internet pages is from a member state of the European Union or from another state that is a party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.

The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyse the flow of visitors to our website. Among other things, Google uses the data and information obtained to evaluate the use of our website in order to compile online reports for us which show the activities on our website and to provide further services in connection with the use of our website.

Google Analytics places a cookie on the information technology system of the person concerned. What cookies are has already been explained above. By setting the cookie, Google is enabled to analyse the use of our website. Each time one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the person responsible for processing and on which a Google Analytics component has been integrated, is called up, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the person concerned is automatically prompted by the respective Google Analytics component to transmit data to Google for the purpose of online analysis. In the course of this technical procedure, Google receives knowledge of personal data, such as the IP address of the person concerned, which Google uses, among other things, to trace the origin of the persons visiting and clicks and subsequently to enable commission settlements.

By means of the cookie, personal information such as the access time, the location from which an access originated and the frequency of visits to our website by the person concerned is stored. Each time our website is visited, this personal data, including the IP address of the Internet connection used by the person concerned, is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass on this personal data collected via the technical process to third parties.

The person concerned can prevent the setting of cookies by our website, as described above, at any time by means of a corresponding setting in the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent Google from setting a cookie on the information technology system of the person concerned. In addition, a cookie already set by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time via the Internet browser or other software programs.

Furthermore, the data subject has the opportunity to object to and prevent the collection of data generated by Google Analytics and relating to the use of this website and the processing of such data by Google. For this purpose, the person concerned must download and install a browser add-on under the link https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. This browser add-on informs Google Analytics via JavaScript that no data and information about visits to websites may be transmitted to Google Analytics. The installation of the browser add-on is considered by Google to be an objection. If the data subject’s information technology system is deleted, formatted or reinstalled at a later date, the data subject must reinstall the browser add-on in order to deactivate Google Analytics. If the browser add-on is uninstalled or deactivated by the person concerned or another person within his or her sphere of control, the browser add-on may be reinstalled or reactivated.

Further information and Google’s applicable privacy policy can be found at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/ 

and http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html.

The integration of Google Remarketing thus enables a company to create user-based advertising and thus show interested Internet users relevant ads.the operator of the Google Remarketing services is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, United States.the purpose of Google Remarketing is to insert interest-relevant advertising. Google Remarketing enables the placement of advertisements on the Google network or on other websites based on individual needs and tailored to the interests of Internet users.Google Remarketing places a cookie on the information technology system of the person concerned. The definition of cookies is explained above. By setting the cookie, Google makes it possible to recognize the visitor to our website when he or she visits successive websites that are also members of the Google advertising network. Each time a website on which the service has been integrated by Google Remarketing is called up, the web browser of the person concerned automatically identifies itself to Google. In the course of this technical process, Google receives personal information such as the IP address or the surfing behaviour of the user, which Google uses, among other things, to display advertisements relevant to the user’s interests. The cookie is used to store personal information, e.g. the websites visited by the person concerned. During each visit to our website, personal data, including the IP address of the Internet access used by the person concerned, is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass on this personal data collected during the technical process to third parties. As mentioned above, the person concerned can, at any time, prevent the setting of cookies via our website by means of a corresponding setting in the web browser used and thus permanently prevent the setting of cookies. Such an adjustment of the Internet browser used would also prevent Google from placing a cookie on the information technology system of the person concerned. Furthermore, cookies already used by Google can be deleted at any time via a web browser or other software programs. In addition, the data subject has the opportunity to object to Google’s interest-based advertising. To do so, the data subject must click on the link www.google.de/settings/ads and make the desired settings in any internet browser he or she uses.

16. Privacy policy for the use of Google AdWords

The party responsible for processing has integrated Google AdWords on this website. Google AdWords is an internet advertising service that allows advertising companies to display ads in Google’s search engine results as well as in the Google advertising network. Google AdWords allows advertisers to pre-define keywords that will cause an ad to appear in Google’s search results only when a person uses the search engine to retrieve a keyword-related search result. In the Google advertising network, the ads are distributed to topic-related websites by means of an automatic algorithm and in accordance with the previously defined keywords.

The operating company of the Google AdWords services is Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.

The purpose of Google AdWords is to advertise our website by displaying interest-relevant advertising on the websites of third parties and in the search engine results of the Google search engine and by displaying third-party advertising on our website.

If a person concerned reaches our website via a Google ad, a so-called conversion cookie is stored on the information technology system of the person concerned by Google. What cookies are has already been explained above. A conversion cookie loses its validity after thirty days and does not serve to identify the data subject. If the cookie has not expired, the conversion cookie is used to determine whether certain sub-pages, for example the shopping basket from an online shop system, have been called up on our website. The conversion cookie enables both we and Google to track whether a person who reached our website via an AdWords ad generated sales, i.e. whether he or she completed or abandoned a purchase.

The data and information collected through the use of the conversion cookie is used by Google to create visit statistics for our website. These visit statistics are in turn used by us to determine the total number of people who were referred to us via AdWords ads, i.e. to determine the success or failure of the respective AdWords ad and to optimize our AdWords ads for the future. Neither our company nor other Google AdWords advertisers receive any information from Google that could be used to identify the individual.

The conversion cookie is used to store personal information, such as the websites visited by the person concerned. Whenever our website is visited, personal data, including the IP address of the Internet connection used by the person concerned, is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass on this personal data collected via the technical process to third parties.

The person concerned can prevent the setting of cookies by our website, as described above, at any time by means of a corresponding setting in the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent Google from setting a conversion cookie on the information technology system of the person concerned. In addition, a cookie already set by Google AdWords can be deleted at any time via the Internet browser or other software programs.

Furthermore, the person concerned has the opportunity to object to interest-based advertising by Google. To do so, the person concerned must access www.google.de/settings/ads from each of the Internet browsers he or she uses and make the desired settings there.

34. Legal basis for the processing

Art. 6 I lit. a DS-GVO serves our company as a legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, as is the case, for example, with processing operations necessary for the supply of goods or the provision of another service or consideration, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. b DS-GVO. The same applies to such processing operations which are necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of enquiries about our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation which makes it necessary to process personal data, for example to fulfil tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. c DS-GVO. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a person in our company were to be injured and their name, age, health insurance data or other vital information would then have to be passed on to a medical institution, hospital or other third party. The processing would then be based on Art. 6 I lit. d DS-GVO.

Finally, processing operations could be based on Art. 6 I lit. f DS-GVO. Processing operations which are not covered by any of the above legal bases are based on this legal basis if the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or of a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not prevail. We are permitted to carry out such processing operations in particular because they are specifically mentioned by European legislation. In this respect, it took the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a person with a business relationship with the responsible body (Recital 47 sentence 2 DS-GVO).

35. Legitimate interests in processing pursued by the controller or a third party

If the processing of personal data is based on Article 6 I lit. f DS-GVO, our legitimate interest is to carry out our business activities for the benefit of the well-being of our team.

36. Duration for which personal data are stored

The criterion for the duration of storage of personal data is the respective legal retention period. After expiry of this period, the corresponding data is routinely deleted, provided that it is no longer required for the fulfilment of the contract or the initiation of a contract.

37. Legal or contractual provisions on the provision of personal data; necessity for the conclusion of the contract; obligation of the data subject to provide the personal data; possible consequences of not providing the data

We would like to inform you that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or can also result from contractual regulations (e.g. details of the contract). Sometimes it may be necessary for a contract to be concluded that a person concerned provides us with personal data, which must subsequently be processed by us. For example, the person concerned is obliged to provide us with personal data if our company concludes a contract with him or her. Failure to provide the personal data would mean that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded. Before the person concerned provides personal data, he or she must contact our team. Our team will inform the data subject on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of personal data is required by law or contract or is necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data and what the consequences would be if the personal data were not provided.

38. Existence of automated decision making

As a responsible company, we avoid automatic decision making or profiling.

39. Changes

ContentScope reserves the right to change this privacy policy. You can view the current version of the Privacy Policy at any time via the Apps or website.
