VG word

We use “session cookies” from VG Wort, Munich, to measure access to texts in order to record the likelihood of copying. Session cookies are small pieces of information that a provider stores in the RAM of the visitor's computer. A randomly generated unique identification number is stored in a session cookie, a so-called session ID. A cookie also contains information about its origin and the storage period. Session cookies cannot store any other data.

These measurements are carried out by INFOnline GmbH using the Scalable Central Measurement Method (SZM). They help to determine the likelihood of individual texts being copied in order to compensate authors and publishers for legal claims. We do not collect any personal data via cookies. Many of our pages are provided with JavaScript calls, which we use to report access to the collecting society Wort (VG Wort).

We thereby enable our authors to participate in the distributions from VG Wort, which ensure legal remuneration for the use of copyrighted works in accordance with Section 53 of the Copyright Act.

We use various services from Amazon Web Services, 410 Terry Avenue North, Seattle WA 98109, United States for our websites. Amazon Web Services processes our users’ data. In particular, the websites are delivered via Amazon's computer network, CloudFront. We use most of our services in the EU (Dublin/Ireland) and EU (Frankfurt) regions. We have therefore concluded a data processing add-on with AWS.

You can find out more about it here: https://aws.amazon.com/de/compliance/eu-data-protection/ AWS ensures compliance with technical and organizational regulations in its data centers. AWS is certified under ISO 27001. AWS does not have access to user identifying data. The connection data with the user's respective IP is stored in AWS data centers. However, TargetVideo does not use this data (log files).

emetriq collects information about the surfing behavior of Internet users unknown to emetriq, e.g. B. which pages were viewed. emetriq assigns the stored information to an anonymous, multi-digit identification number, which is stored in a cookie on the user's computer and which under no circumstances allows any conclusions to be drawn about the user as a person.

Push notifications

You can register to receive so-called push notifications. For this we use the “CleverPush” service, which is operated by CleverPush GmbH, Nagelsweg 22, 20097 Hamburg (“CleverPush”).

In order to register for push notifications, you must confirm that your browser or device asks you to receive notifications. This process is documented and saved by CleverPush. For this purpose, the login time and a push token or device ID are saved. This data is used, on the one hand, to be able to send you push notifications and, on the other hand, as proof of your registration. The legal basis for this processing is your consent and therefore Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter a GDPR.

CleverPush also evaluates our push notifications statistically. This allows CleverPush to recognize whether and when our push notifications were displayed and clicked on. This allows us to determine which push notifications interest recipients in order to tailor future messages to the presumed interests of all recipients and thus increase interest in our offer.

In addition to the push token or device ID, we also store the topic focus of the app on which the push notifications were activated (e.g. business, sports, etc.). We also use this information to send push notifications to the relevant subscribers that are presumably in their interest. The legal basis for processing is Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter f of the GDPR. A push token or device ID is only assigned to a specific person if we are legally obliged to do so, to defend claims against us, if this is required as evidence, and for possible prosecution of violations of the law.

You can revoke your consent to the storage and use of your personal data to receive our push notifications at any time with future effect. Furthermore, you can object to the use of personal data described above at any time on the basis of Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter f. For this purpose, please revoke your consent. You can revoke your consent in the settings provided for receiving push notifications in the settings of your device or browser.

Your data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. Your data will therefore be stored as long as your subscription to our push notifications is active.

The registration process is explained in detail at the following link: https://cleverpush.com/faq. If you would like to unsubscribe from Cleverpush, please use this link: https://stage.nice-magazin.de/?cleverPushUnsubscribe=true

TARGET GROUP FORMATION WITH GOOGLE ANALYTICS

We use Google Analytics to display ads within Google's advertising services and its partners only to users who have shown an interest in our online offerings or who exhibit specific characteristics (such as interests in certain topics or products, determined based on visited web pages) that we transmit to Google (so-called "remarketing" or "Google Analytics audiences"). With the help of remarketing audiences, we also aim to ensure that our ads align with the potential interests of users.

We use the services of Google LLC, 6 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 1 on the basis of our legitimate interests (ie interest in the analysis, optimization and economic operation of our online service within the meaning of Art. 1600 para. 94043 lit. DSGVO) , USA, ("Google").

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

We use the AdSense service, which allows ads to appear on our website and reward us for their display or other use. For this purpose, usage data, such as the click on an ad and the IP address of the users are processed, whereby the IP address is shortened by the last two digits. Therefore, the processing of the users' data is pseudonymised.

We use Adsense with non-personalized ads. The ads are not displayed based on user profiles. Non-personalized ads are not based on past user behavior. Targeting uses contextual information, including coarse (e.g., location-level) geographic targeting based on current location, content on the current website or app, and current search terms. Google prevents any personalized targeting, including demographic targeting and targeting based on user lists.

FACEBOOK PIXELS, CUSTOM AUDIENCES AND FACEBOOK CONVERSION

With the help of the Facebook pixel, Facebook is on the one hand able to determine the visitors of our online offer as a target group for the presentation of advertisements (so-called “Facebook ads”). Accordingly, we use the Facebook pixel to only display the Facebook ads placed by us to Facebook users who have also shown an interest in our online offer or who have certain characteristics (e.g. interests in certain topics or products that are based on the visited Websites) that we transmit to Facebook (so-called "Custom Audiences"). With the help of the Facebook pixel, we would also like to ensure that our Facebook ads correspond to the potential interest of the users and are not annoying. With the help of the Facebook pixel, we can also understand the effectiveness of Facebook ads for statistical and market research purposes by seeing whether users have been redirected to our website after clicking on a Facebook ad (so-called "conversion").

The processing of the data by Facebook is part of Facebook's data usage policy. Accordingly, general notes on the presentation of Facebook Ads, in the data usage policy of Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/policy.php, Special information and details about the Facebook pixel and how it works can be found in the Help section of Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/business/help/651294705016616.
