1. An overview of data protection

General information

The fol­low­ing inform­a­tion will provide you with an easy to nav­ig­ate over­view of what will hap­pen with your per­son­al data when you vis­it this web­site. The term “per­son­al data” com­prises all data that can be used to per­son­ally identi­fy you. For detailed inform­a­tion about the sub­ject mat­ter of data pro­tec­tion, please con­sult our Data Protection Declaration, which we have included beneath this copy.

Data recording on this website

Who is the responsible party for the recording of data on this website (i.e. the “controller”)?

The data on this web­site is pro­cessed by the oper­at­or of the web­site, whose con­tact inform­a­tion is avail­able under sec­tion “Information Required by Law” on this website.

How do we record your data?

We col­lect your data as a res­ult of your shar­ing of your data with us. This may, for instance be inform­a­tion you enter into our con­tact form.

Other data shall be recor­ded by our IT sys­tems auto­mat­ic­ally or after you con­sent to its record­ing dur­ing your web­site vis­it. This data com­prises primar­ily tech­nic­al inform­a­tion (e.g. web browser, oper­at­ing sys­tem or time the site was accessed). This inform­a­tion is recor­ded auto­mat­ic­ally when you access this website.

What are the purposes we use your data for?

A por­tion of the inform­a­tion is gen­er­ated to guar­an­tee the error free pro­vi­sion of the web­site. Other data may be used to ana­lyze your user patterns.

What rights do you have as far as your information is concerned?

You have the right to receive inform­a­tion about the source, recip­i­ents and pur­poses of your archived per­son­al data at any time without hav­ing to pay a fee for such dis­clos­ures. You also have the right to demand that your data are rec­ti­fied or erad­ic­ated. If you have con­sen­ted to data pro­cessing, you have the option to revoke this con­sent at any time, which shall affect all future data pro­cessing. Moreover, you have the right to demand that the pro­cessing of your data be restric­ted under cer­tain cir­cum­stances. Furthermore, you have the right to log a com­plaint with the com­pet­ent super­vising agency.

Please do not hes­it­ate to con­tact us at any time under the address dis­closed in sec­tion “Information Required by Law” on this web­site if you have ques­tions about this or any oth­er data pro­tec­tion related issues.

Analysis tools and tools provided by third parties

There is a pos­sib­il­ity that your brows­ing pat­terns will be stat­ist­ic­ally ana­lyzed when your vis­it this web­site. Such ana­lyses are per­formed primar­ily with what we refer to as ana­lys­is programs.

For detailed inform­a­tion about these ana­lys­is pro­grams please con­sult our Data Protection Declaration below.

2. Hosting and Content Delivery Networks (CDN)

External Hosting

This web­site is hos­ted by an extern­al ser­vice pro­vider (host). Personal data col­lec­ted on this web­site are stored on the serv­ers of the host. These may include, but are not lim­ited to, IP addresses, con­tact requests, metadata and com­mu­nic­a­tions, con­tract inform­a­tion, con­tact inform­a­tion, names, web page access, and oth­er data gen­er­ated through a web site.

The host is used for the pur­pose of ful­filling the con­tract with our poten­tial and exist­ing cus­tom­ers (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR) and in the interest of secure, fast and effi­cient pro­vi­sion of our online ser­vices by a pro­fes­sion­al pro­vider (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR).

Our host will only pro­cess your data to the extent neces­sary to ful­fil its per­form­ance oblig­a­tions and to fol­low our instruc­tions with respect to such data.

We are using the fol­low­ing host:

ALL-INKL.COM – Neue Medien Münnich
Inhaber: René Münnich
Hauptstraße 68 | D‑02742 Friedersdorf

Execution of a contract data processing agreement

In order to guar­an­tee pro­cessing in com­pli­ance with data pro­tec­tion reg­u­la­tions, we have con­cluded an order pro­cessing con­tract with our host.

3. General information and mandatory information

Data protection

The oper­at­ors of this web­site and its pages take the pro­tec­tion of your per­son­al data very ser­i­ously. Hence, we handle your per­son­al data as con­fid­en­tial inform­a­tion and in com­pli­ance with the stat­utory data pro­tec­tion reg­u­la­tions and this Data Protection Declaration.

Whenever you use this web­site, a vari­ety of per­son­al inform­a­tion will be col­lec­ted. Personal data com­prises data that can be used to per­son­ally identi­fy you. This Data Protection Declaration explains which data we col­lect as well as the pur­poses we use this data for. It also explains how, and for which pur­pose the inform­a­tion is collected.

We here­with advise you that the trans­mis­sion of data via the Internet (i.e. through e‑mail com­mu­nic­a­tions) may be prone to secur­ity gaps. It is not pos­sible to com­pletely pro­tect data against third-party access.

Information about the responsible party (referred to as the “controller” in the GDPR)

The data pro­cessing con­trol­ler on this web­site is:

Thomas Frenken
Türkisweg 16, 41564 Kaarst, Germany

Phone: +491721602220
E‑mail: contact@electrozombies.com

The con­trol­ler is the nat­ur­al per­son or leg­al entity that single-handedly or jointly with oth­ers makes decisions as to the pur­poses of and resources for the pro­cessing of per­son­al data (e.g. names, e‑mail addresses, etc.).

Storage duration

Unless a more spe­cif­ic stor­age peri­od has been spe­cified in this pri­vacy policy, your per­son­al data will remain with us until the pur­pose for which it was col­lec­ted no longer applies. If you assert a jus­ti­fied request for dele­tion or revoke your con­sent to data pro­cessing, your data will be deleted, unless we have oth­er leg­ally per­miss­ible reas­ons for stor­ing your per­son­al data (e.g. tax or com­mer­cial law reten­tion peri­ods); in the lat­ter case, the dele­tion will take place after these reas­ons cease to apply.

Information on data transfer to the USA

Our web­site uses, in par­tic­u­lar, tools from com­pan­ies based in the USA. When these tools are act­ive, your per­son­al inform­a­tion may be trans­ferred to the US serv­ers of these com­pan­ies. We must point out that the USA is not a safe third coun­try with­in the mean­ing of EU data pro­tec­tion law. US com­pan­ies are required to release per­son­al data to secur­ity author­it­ies without you as the data sub­ject being able to take leg­al action against this. The pos­sib­il­ity can­not there­fore be excluded that US author­it­ies (e.g. secret ser­vices) may pro­cess, eval­u­ate and per­man­ently store your data on US serv­ers for mon­it­or­ing pur­poses.  We have no influ­ence over these pro­cessing activities.

Revocation of your consent to the processing of data

A wide range of data pro­cessing trans­ac­tions are pos­sible only sub­ject to your express con­sent. You can also revoke at any time any con­sent you have already giv­en us. This shall be without pre­ju­dice to the law­ful­ness of any data col­lec­tion that occurred pri­or to your revocation.

Right to object to the collection of data in special cases; right to object to direct advertising (Art. 21 GDPR)

IN THE EVENT THAT DATA ARE PROCESSED ON THE BASIS OF ART. 6 SECT. 1 LIT. E OR F GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO AT ANY TIME OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA BASED ON GROUNDS ARISING FROM YOUR UNIQUE SITUATION. THIS ALSO APPLIES TO ANY PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. TO DETERMINE THE LEGAL BASIS, ON WHICH ANY PROCESSING OF DATA IS BASED, PLEASE CONSULT THIS DATA PROTECTION DECLARATION. IF YOU LOG AN OBJECTION, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR AFFECTED PERSONAL DATA, UNLESS WE ARE IN A POSITION TO PRESENT COMPELLING PROTECTION WORTHY GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING OF YOUR DATA, THAT OUTWEIGH YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS OR IF THE PURPOSE OF THE PROCESSING IS THE CLAIMING, EXERCISING OR DEFENCE OF LEGAL ENTITLEMENTS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21 SECT. 1 GDPR).

IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS BEING PROCESSED IN ORDER TO ENGAGE IN DIRECT ADVERTISING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO AT ANY TIME OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR AFFECTED PERSONAL DATA FOR THE PURPOSES OF SUCH ADVERTISING. THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING TO THE EXTENT THAT IT IS AFFILIATED WITH SUCH DIRECT ADVERTISING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL SUBSEQUENTLY NO LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT ADVERTISING PURPOSES (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21 SECT. 2 GDPR).

Right to log a complaint with the competent supervisory agency

In the event of viol­a­tions of the GDPR, data sub­jects are entitled to log a com­plaint with a super­vis­ory agency, in par­tic­u­lar in the mem­ber state where they usu­ally main­tain their dom­i­cile, place of work or at the place where the alleged viol­a­tion occurred. The right to log a com­plaint is in effect regard­less of any oth­er admin­is­trat­ive or court pro­ceed­ings avail­able as leg­al recourses.

Right to data portability

You have the right to demand that we hand over any data we auto­mat­ic­ally pro­cess on the basis of your con­sent or in order to ful­fil a con­tract be handed over to you or a third party in a com­monly used, machine read­able format. If you should demand the dir­ect trans­fer of the data to anoth­er con­trol­ler, this will be done only if it is tech­nic­ally feasible.

SSL and/or TLS encryption

For secur­ity reas­ons and to pro­tect the trans­mis­sion of con­fid­en­tial con­tent, such as pur­chase orders or inquir­ies you sub­mit to us as the web­site oper­at­or, this web­site uses either an SSL or a TLS encryp­tion pro­gram. You can recog­nize an encryp­ted con­nec­tion by check­ing wheth­er the address line of the browser switches from “http://” to “https://” and also by the appear­ance of the lock icon in the browser line.

If the SSL or TLS encryp­tion is activ­ated, data you trans­mit to us can­not be read by third parties.

Information about, rectification and eradication of data

Within the scope of the applic­able stat­utory pro­vi­sions, you have the right to at any time demand inform­a­tion about your archived per­son­al data, their source and recip­i­ents as well as the pur­pose of the pro­cessing of your data. You may also have a right to have your data rec­ti­fied or erad­ic­ated. If you have ques­tions about this sub­ject mat­ter or any oth­er ques­tions about per­son­al data, please do not hes­it­ate to con­tact us at any time at the address provided in sec­tion “Information Required by Law.”

Right to demand processing restrictions

You have the right to demand the impos­i­tion of restric­tions as far as the pro­cessing of your per­son­al data is con­cerned. To do so, you may con­tact us at any time at the address provided in sec­tion “Information Required by Law.” The right to demand restric­tion of pro­cessing applies in the fol­low­ing cases:

  • In the event that you should dis­pute the cor­rect­ness of your data archived by us, we will usu­ally need some time to veri­fy this claim. During the time that this invest­ig­a­tion is ongo­ing, you have the right to demand that we restrict the pro­cessing of your per­son­al data.
  • If the pro­cessing of your per­son­al data was/is con­duc­ted in an unlaw­ful man­ner, you have the option to demand the restric­tion of the pro­cessing of your data in lieu of demand­ing the erad­ic­a­tion of this data.
  • If we do not need your per­son­al data any longer and you need it to exer­cise, defend or claim leg­al enti­tle­ments, you have the right to demand the restric­tion of the pro­cessing of your per­son­al data instead of its eradication.
  • If you have raised an objec­tion pur­su­ant to Art. 21 Sect. 1 GDPR, your rights and our rights will have to be weighed against each oth­er. As long as it has not been determ­ined whose interests pre­vail, you have the right to demand a restric­tion of the pro­cessing of your per­son­al data.

If you have restric­ted the pro­cessing of your per­son­al data, these data – with the excep­tion of their archiv­ing – may be pro­cessed only sub­ject to your con­sent or to claim, exer­cise or defend leg­al enti­tle­ments or to pro­tect the rights of oth­er nat­ur­al per­sons or leg­al entit­ies or for import­ant pub­lic interest reas­ons cited by the European Union or a mem­ber state of the EU.

4. Recording of data on this website

Cookies

Our web­sites and pages use what the industry refers to as “cook­ies.” Cookies are small text files that do not cause any dam­age to your device. They are either stored tem­por­ar­ily for the dur­a­tion of a ses­sion (ses­sion cook­ies) or they are per­man­ently archived on your device (per­man­ent cook­ies). Session cook­ies are auto­mat­ic­ally deleted once you ter­min­ate your vis­it. Permanent cook­ies remain archived on your device until you act­ively delete them or they are auto­mat­ic­ally erad­ic­ated by your web browser.

In some cases, it is pos­sible that third-party cook­ies are stored on your device once you enter our site (third-party cook­ies). These cook­ies enable you or us to take advant­age of cer­tain ser­vices offered by the third party (e.g. cook­ies for the pro­cessing of pay­ment services).

Cookies have a vari­ety of func­tions. Many cook­ies are tech­nic­ally essen­tial since cer­tain web­site func­tions would not work in the absence of the cook­ies (e.g. the shop­ping cart func­tion or the dis­play of videos). The pur­pose of oth­er cook­ies may be the ana­lys­is of user pat­terns or the dis­play of pro­mo­tion­al messages.

Cookies, which are required for the per­form­ance of elec­tron­ic com­mu­nic­a­tion trans­ac­tions (required cook­ies) or for the pro­vi­sion of cer­tain func­tions you want to use (func­tion­al cook­ies, e.g. for the shop­ping cart func­tion) or those that are neces­sary for the optim­iz­a­tion of the web­site (e.g. cook­ies that provide meas­ur­able insights into the web audi­ence), shall be stored on the basis of Art. 6 Sect. 1 lit. f GDPR, unless a dif­fer­ent leg­al basis is cited. The oper­at­or of the web­site has a legit­im­ate interest in the stor­age of cook­ies to ensure the tech­nic­ally error free and optim­ized pro­vi­sion of the operator’s ser­vices. If your con­sent to the stor­age of the cook­ies has been reques­ted, the respect­ive cook­ies are stored exclus­ively on the basis of the con­sent obtained (Art. 6 Sect. 1 lit. a GDPR); this con­sent may be revoked at any time.

You have the option to set up your browser in such a man­ner that you will be noti­fied any time cook­ies are placed and to per­mit the accept­ance of cook­ies only in spe­cif­ic cases. You may also exclude the accept­ance of cook­ies in cer­tain cases or in gen­er­al or activ­ate the delete func­tion for the auto­mat­ic erad­ic­a­tion of cook­ies when the browser closes. If cook­ies are deac­tiv­ated, the func­tions of this web­site may be limited.

In the event that third-party cook­ies are used or if cook­ies are used for ana­lyt­ic­al pur­poses, we will sep­ar­ately noti­fy you in con­junc­tion with this Data Protection Policy and, if applic­able, ask for your consent.

Server log files

The pro­vider of this web­site and its pages auto­mat­ic­ally col­lects and stores inform­a­tion in so-called serv­er log files, which your browser com­mu­nic­ates to us auto­mat­ic­ally. The inform­a­tion comprises:

  • The type and ver­sion of browser used
  • The used oper­at­ing system
  • Referrer URL
  • The host­name of the access­ing computer
  • The time of the serv­er inquiry
  • The IP address

This data is not merged with oth­er data sources.

This data is recor­ded on the basis of Art. 6 Sect. 1 lit. f GDPR. The oper­at­or of the web­site has a legit­im­ate interest in the tech­nic­ally error free depic­tion and the optim­iz­a­tion of the operator’s web­site. In order to achieve this, serv­er log files must be recorded.

Contact form

If you sub­mit inquir­ies to us via our con­tact form, the inform­a­tion provided in the con­tact form as well as any con­tact inform­a­tion provided therein will be stored by us in order to handle your inquiry and in the event that we have fur­ther ques­tions. We will not share this inform­a­tion without your consent.

The pro­cessing of these data is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, if your request is related to the exe­cu­tion of a con­tract or if it is neces­sary to carry out pre-con­trac­tu­al meas­ures. In all oth­er cases the pro­cessing is based on our legit­im­ate interest in the effect­ive pro­cessing of the requests addressed to us (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR) or on your agree­ment (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR) if this has been requested.

The inform­a­tion you have entered into the con­tact form shall remain with us until you ask us to erad­ic­ate the data, revoke your con­sent to the archiv­ing of data or if the pur­pose for which the inform­a­tion is being archived no longer exists (e.g. after we have con­cluded our response to your inquiry). This shall be without pre­ju­dice to any man­dat­ory leg­al pro­vi­sions – in par­tic­u­lar reten­tion periods.

Request by e‑mail, telephone or fax

If you con­tact us by e‑mail, tele­phone or fax, your request, includ­ing all res­ult­ing per­son­al data (name, request) will be stored and pro­cessed by us for the pur­pose of pro­cessing your request. We do not pass these data on without your consent.

These data are pro­cessed on the basis of Art. 6 Sect. 1 lit. b GDPR if your inquiry is related to the ful­fill­ment of a con­tract or is required for the per­form­ance of pre-con­trac­tu­al meas­ures. In all oth­er cases, the data are pro­cessed on the basis of our legit­im­ate interest in the effect­ive hand­ling of inquir­ies sub­mit­ted to us (Art. 6 Sect. 1 lit. f GDPR) or on the basis of your con­sent (Art. 6 Sect. 1 lit. a GDPR) if it has been obtained.

The data sent by you to us via con­tact requests remain with us until you request us to delete, revoke your con­sent to the stor­age or the pur­pose for the data stor­age lapses (e.g. after com­ple­tion of your request). Mandatory stat­utory pro­vi­sions – in par­tic­u­lar stat­utory reten­tion peri­ods – remain unaffected.

5. Analysis tools and advertising

WP Statistics

This web­site uses the WP Statistics ana­lys­is tool to eval­u­ate vis­it­or accesses stat­ist­ic­ally. The pro­vider is Veronalabs, ARENCO Tower, 27th Floor, Dubai Media City, Dubai, Dubai 23816, UAE (https://veronalabs.com).

WP Statistics can be used to ana­lyze the use of our web­site. In doing so, WP Statistics records, among oth­er things, log files (IP address, refer­rer, browser used, ori­gin of the user, search engine used) and actions that the web­site vis­it­ors have taken on the site (e.g. clicks and views).

The data col­lec­ted with WP Statistics is stored exclus­ively on our own server.

The use of this ana­lys­is tool is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. We have a legit­im­ate interest in the anonym­ized ana­lys­is of user beha­vi­or in order to optim­ize both our web­sites and our advert­ising. If appro­pri­ate con­sent has been obtained, the pro­cessing is car­ried out exclus­ively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25 (1) TTDSG, inso­far the con­sent includes the stor­age of cook­ies or the access to inform­a­tion in the user’s end device (e.g., device fin­ger­print­ing) with­in the mean­ing of the TTDSG. This con­sent can be revoked at any time.

IP anonymization

We use WP Statistics with anonym­ized IP. Your IP address is shortened so that it can no longer be dir­ectly assigned to you.

6. Newsletter

Newsletter data

If you would like to sub­scribe to the news­let­ter offered on this web­site, we will need from you an e‑mail address as well as inform­a­tion that allow us to veri­fy that you are the own­er of the e‑mail address provided and con­sent to the receipt of the news­let­ter. No fur­ther data shall be col­lec­ted or shall be col­lec­ted only on a vol­un­tary basis. We shall use such data only for the send­ing of the reques­ted inform­a­tion and shall not share such data with any third parties.

The pro­cessing of the inform­a­tion entered into the news­let­ter sub­scrip­tion form shall occur exclus­ively on the basis of your con­sent (Art. 6 Sect. 1 lit. a GDPR). You may revoke the con­sent you have giv­en to the archiv­ing of data, the e‑mail address and the use of this inform­a­tion for the send­ing of the news­let­ter at any time, for instance by click­ing on the “Unsubscribe” link in the news­let­ter. This shall be without pre­ju­dice to the law­ful­ness of any data pro­cessing trans­ac­tions that have taken place to date.

The data depos­ited with us for the pur­pose of sub­scrib­ing to the news­let­ter will be stored by us until you unsub­scribe from the news­let­ter or the news­let­ter ser­vice pro­vider and deleted from the news­let­ter dis­tri­bu­tion list after you unsub­scribe from the news­let­ter. Data stored for oth­er pur­poses with us remain unaffected.

After you unsub­scribe from the news­let­ter dis­tri­bu­tion list, your e‑mail address may be stored by us or the news­let­ter ser­vice pro­vider in a black­list to pre­vent future mail­ings. The data from the black­list is used only for this pur­pose and not merged with oth­er data. This serves both your interest and our interest in com­ply­ing with the leg­al require­ments when send­ing news­let­ters (legit­im­ate interest with­in the mean­ing of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR). The stor­age in the black­list is indef­in­ite. You may object to the stor­age if your interests out­weigh our legit­im­ate interest.

MailChimp

This web­site uses the ser­vices of MailChimp to send out its news­let­ters. The pro­vider is the Rocket Science Group LLC, 675 Ponce De Leon Ave NE, Suite 5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA.

Among oth­er things, MailChimp is a ser­vice that can be deployed to organ­ize and ana­lyze the send­ing of news­let­ters. Whenever you enter data for the pur­pose of sub­scrib­ing to a news­let­ter (e.g. your e‑mail address), the inform­a­tion is stored on MailChimp serv­ers in the United States.

With the assist­ance of the MailChimp tool, we can ana­lyze the per­form­ance of our news­let­ter cam­paigns. If you open an e‑mail that has been sent through the MailChimp tool, a file that has been integ­rated into the e‑mail (a so-called web-beacon) con­nects to MailChimp’s serv­ers in the United States. As a res­ult, it can be determ­ined wheth­er a news­let­ter mes­sage has been opened and which links the recip­i­ent pos­sibly clicked on. Technical inform­a­tion is also recor­ded at that time (e.g. the time of access, the IP address, type of browser and oper­at­ing sys­tem). This inform­a­tion can­not be alloc­ated to the respect­ive news­let­ter recip­i­ent. Their sole pur­pose is the per­form­ance of stat­ist­ic­al ana­lyses of news­let­ter cam­paigns. The res­ults of such ana­lyses can be used to tail­or future news­let­ters to the interests of their recip­i­ents more effectively.

If you do not want to per­mit an ana­lys­is by MailChimp, you must unsub­scribe from the news­let­ter. We provide a link for you to do this in every news­let­ter mes­sage. Moreover, you can also unsub­scribe from the news­let­ter right on the website.

The data is pro­cessed based on your con­sent (Art. 6 Sect. 1 lit. a GDPR).  You may revoke any con­sent you have giv­en at any time by unsub­scrib­ing from the news­let­ter. This shall be without pre­ju­dice to the law­ful­ness of any data pro­cessing trans­ac­tions that have taken place pri­or to your revocation.

The data depos­ited with us for the pur­pose of sub­scrib­ing to the news­let­ter will be stored by us until you unsub­scribe from the news­let­ter or the news­let­ter ser­vice pro­vider and deleted from the news­let­ter dis­tri­bu­tion list after you unsub­scribe from the news­let­ter. Data stored for oth­er pur­poses with us remain unaffected.

After you unsub­scribe from the news­let­ter dis­tri­bu­tion list, your e‑mail address may be stored by us or the news­let­ter ser­vice pro­vider in a black­list to pre­vent future mail­ings. The data from the black­list is used only for this pur­pose and not merged with oth­er data. This serves both your interest and our interest in com­ply­ing with the leg­al require­ments when send­ing news­let­ters (legit­im­ate interest with­in the mean­ing of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR). The stor­age in the black­list is indef­in­ite. You may object to the stor­age if your interests out­weigh our legit­im­ate interest.

For more details, please con­sult the Data Privacy Policies of MailChimp at: https://mailchimp.com/legal/terms/.

Execution of a contract data processing agreement

We have executed a so-called “Data Processing Agreement” with MailChimp, in which we man­date that MailChimp under­takes to pro­tect the data of our cus­tom­ers and to refrain from shar­ing it with third parties.

7. Plug-ins and Tools

YouTube with expanded data protection integration

Our web­site embeds videos of the web­site YouTube. The web­site oper­at­or is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

We use YouTube in the expan­ded data pro­tec­tion mode. According to YouTube, this mode ensures that YouTube does not store any inform­a­tion about vis­it­ors to this web­site before they watch the video. Nevertheless, this does not neces­sar­ily mean that the shar­ing of data with YouTube part­ners can be ruled out as a res­ult of the expan­ded data pro­tec­tion mode. For instance, regard­less of wheth­er you are watch­ing a video, YouTube will always estab­lish a con­nec­tion with the Google DoubleClick network.

As soon as you start to play a YouTube video on this web­site, a con­nec­tion to YouTube’s serv­ers will be estab­lished. As a res­ult, the YouTube serv­er will be noti­fied, which of our pages you have vis­ited. If you are logged into your YouTube account while you vis­it our site, you enable YouTube to dir­ectly alloc­ate your brows­ing pat­terns to your per­son­al pro­file. You have the option to pre­vent this by log­ging out of your YouTube account.

Furthermore, after you have star­ted to play a video, YouTube will be able to place vari­ous cook­ies on your device or com­par­able tech­no­lo­gies for recog­ni­tion (e.g. device fin­ger­print­ing). In this way YouTube will be able to obtain inform­a­tion about this website’s vis­it­ors. Among oth­er things, this inform­a­tion will be used to gen­er­ate video stat­ist­ics with the aim of improv­ing the user friend­li­ness of the site and to pre­vent attempts to com­mit fraud.
