Google Analytics is a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA ("Google"). Google Analytics uses also cookies, which enables an analysis of the use of the Platform. The information generated by the cookie about the use of the Platform (including Your browser type, referrer URL, IP address etc.) is transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. Google Analytics is set up so that IP addresses are only stored anonymously. Dueto this setting, Google shortens the IP addresses recorded within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area prior to storage. Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating Your use of the Platform, compiling reports on Platform activity and providing further services relating to Platform activity and Internet usage. Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google's behalf. Under no circumstances will Google merge Your IP address with any other data held by Google. You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on its browser. By do so, You may not be able to use the full functionality of the Platform. By using the Platform, You agree to the processing of the data collected about it by Google in the manner and for the purpose described above. If You do not want to allow Google Analytics in principle, You can install the browser add-on (https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout) to deactivate Google Analytics.

14. Security

We take commercially reasonable steps to protect Your Personal Data from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. We use up to date TLS-encryption that Your systems support when transmitting data via Our systems. However, a complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible. We cannot guarantee that all Internet or e-mail transmission is fully secure or free of errors. We also use suitable technical and organisational security measures to protect Your Personal Data against accidental or intentional manipulation, partial or complete loss, destruction or unauthorised access by third parties. Our security measures are continuously improved in line with technological developments. Nevertheless, We cannot guarantee their absolute security and We therefore cannot be held liable for intercepted information sent via the Internet or for third parties using revoked, stolen, forged, or otherwise insecure certificates. You should therefore take special care in deciding which information You send Us by e-mail and keep this in mind by disclosing any Personal Data to Us or to any other party via Internet.

We store Your Personal Data for as long as it is necessary for the respective purpose for which it was collected, in particular to fulfil contractual and legal obligations, such as statutory retention periods, or until You revoke Your consent in the processing of Personal Data.

We are obliged to verify Your identity in such requests. Inquiries can therefore only be processed if a suitable proof of Your identity (copy of identity card or similar) is enclosed. If the processing of the Personal Data is carried out on the basis of the consent pursuant to article 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR, You have the right to object such consent at any time. The data processing's legality up to the time of objection stays untouched. Should the processing of Your Personal Data be based on article 6 para. 1 lit. e or f GDPR, You have the right to object, on grounds relating to Your particular situation, at any time to processing of Your Personal Data, including profiling based on those provisions. The respective legal basis for a processing of data is explained in this Privacy Policy.
