III General information on data processing


1. scope of the processing of personal data
We only process our users' personal data to the extent necessary to provide a functional website and our content and services. The processing of our users' personal data only takes place regularly with the user's consent. An exception applies in cases where prior consent cannot be obtained for factual reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by law.

2 Legal basis for the processing of personal data
Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis.
When processing personal data that is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures.
Insofar as the processing of personal data is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR serves as the legal basis.
In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. d GDPR serves as the legal basis.
If the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and if the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the first-mentioned interest, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing.

3 Data erasure and storage duration
The personal data of the data subject will be erased or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies. Data may also be stored if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in EU regulations, laws or other provisions to which the controller is subject. The data will also be blocked or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless there is a need for further storage of the data for the conclusion or fulfillment of a contract.


IV Provision of contractual services


1. description and scope of data processing
When concluding a subscription contract or other contractual services, we process the specified inventory data (e.g. names, addresses and contact data), contract data (e.g. services used, payment information) for the purpose of fulfilling our contractual obligations and services.

2 Legal basis for data processing
The legal basis for the processing of inventory and contract data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR.

3. duration of storage
The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. This is the case here if the data is no longer required for the performance of the contract. Even after conclusion of the contract, it may be necessary to store personal data of the contractual partner in order to comply with contractual or legal obligations.

4. right of objection and removal
If the data is required to fulfill a contract or to carry out pre-contractual measures, premature deletion of the data is only possible insofar as contractual or legal obligations do not prevent deletion.


V. Implementation of competitions

1. description and scope of data processing

When participating in a competition offered by us in our publishing products or on the Internet, we process the inventory data provided (e.g. names, addresses and contact details) to carry out and process the competition (e.g. selection/draw of the winner, information to the winner). In the event of a win, the first name, surname and place of residence of the winner will be published in our magazine.
If you give your consent, we will use the inventory data you provide to inform you about further publishing offers by e-mail or post for advertising purposes.

2 Passing on data to third parties
We do not pass on participants' data to third parties unless this is necessary for the processing of the competition (e.g. for sending prizes etc.).

5. duration of storage

Without consent, the data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required for the purpose for which it was collected.

If you have given your consent, the user's inventory data will therefore be stored until you object.

6. possibility of objection and removal

The sending of the newsletter or the post can be terminated by the data subject at any time. For this purpose, there is a corresponding link in every newsletter.

VIII Use of INFOnline

Our website uses a measurement method from INFOnline GmbH(https://www.INFOnline.de) to determine statistical parameters about the use of our offers. The aim of the usage measurement is to statistically determine the number of visits to our website, the number of website visitors and their surfing behavior - on the basis of a uniform standard procedure - and thus to obtain market-wide comparable values.
For all digital offerings that are members of the Informationsgemeinschaft zur Feststellung der Verbreitung von Werbeträgern e.V. (IVW - http://www.ivw.eu) or participate in the studies of the Arbeitsgemeinschaft Online-Forschung e.V. (AGOF - http://www.agof.de), the usage statistics are regularly processed by the AGOF and the Arbeitsgemeinschaft Media-Analyse e.V. (agma - http://www.agma-mmc.de) into reach figures and published with the performance value "Unique User" and by the IVW with the performance values "Page Impression" and "Visits". These reach figures and statistics can be viewed on the respective websites.

1 Description and scope of data processing
INFOnline GmbH collects the following data, which is personal data according to the EU GDPR

  • IP address, which is immediately shortened and only processed further in pseudonymized form
  • a randomly generated client identifier

INFOnline GmbH's measurement method, which is used on this website, determines usage data. This is done in order to collect the performance values page impressions, visits and clients and to form further key figures from this (e.g. qualified clients). In addition, the measured data is used as follows:

  • A so-called geolocalization, i.e. the assignment of a website call to the location of the call, is carried out exclusively on the basis of the anonymized IP address and only up to the geographical level of the federal states / regions. Under no circumstances can the geographical information obtained in this way be used to draw conclusions about the specific location of a user.
  • The usage data of a technical client (e.g. a browser on a device) is merged across websites and stored in a database. This information is used for the technical estimation of the socio-information age and gender and transferred to AGOF's service providers for further reach processing. As part of the AGOF study, socio-characteristics are technically estimated on the basis of a random sample, which can be assigned to the following categories: Age, gender, nationality, occupation, marital status, general household information, household income, place of residence, Internet use, online interests, place of use, user type.


2 Legal basis for data processing
The legal basis for measurement by INFOnline is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.
In addition, we have a legitimate interest in making the pseudonymized data available to INFOnline, AGOF and IVW for the purposes of market research (AGOF, agma) and for statistical purposes (INFOnline, IVW). Furthermore, we have a legitimate interest in making the pseudonymized data available to INFOnline for the further development and provision of interest-based advertising material.

3 Purpose of data processing
The purpose of processing personal data is to compile statistics and create user categories. The statistics are used to track and document the use of our website. The user categories form the basis for the interest-based targeting of advertising material and advertising measures. In order to market this website, it is essential to measure usage in order to ensure comparability with other market participants. Our legitimate interest arises from the economic usability of the findings resulting from the statistics and user categories and the market value of our website - also in direct comparison with third-party websites - which can be determined on the basis of the statistics.

4. disclosure of the data
Forwarding of data The IP address and the shortened IP address are not forwarded.
For the preparation of the AGOF study, data with client identifiers is passed on to the following AGOF service providers:
