<h2>Use of the scalable central measurement procedures</h2>
<p>Our website uses the measuring procedure (‘SZMnG’) of INFOnline GmbH (<a href="https://www.INFOnline.de/en/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">https://www.INFOnline.de/en/</a>) to determine key statistical values for the use of our offers. The goal of the usage measurement is to statistically determine the number of visitors to our website and their browsing behaviour – based on a uniform standard procedure – and thus to obtain comparable market values.</p>
<p>For all providers of digital offers – who are members of the German Audit Bureau of Circulation (Informationsgemeinschaft zur Feststellung der Verbreitung von Werbeträgern e.V., (IVW: <a href="http://www.ivw.eu/englische-version" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">http://www.ivw.eu/englische-version</a>) or participate in the studies of the German Association of Online Research (Arbeitsgemeinschaft Online-Forschung e.V., AGOF: <a href="https://www.agof.de/?lang=en" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">https://www.agof.de/?lang=en</a>) – the usage statistics are further processed on a regular basis by AGOF and the Labour Association for Media Analysis (Arbeitsgemeinschaft Media-Analyze e.V., AGMA – <a href="http://www.agma-mmc.de" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">http://www.agma-mmc.de</a>) into ranges and published with the performance values ‘unique user’, and by the IVW with ‘page impression’ and ‘visits’. These ranges and statistics can be viewed on the respective websites.</p>
<h3>1. Legal foundation for the processing</h3>
<p>The measurement, by means of the measuring method SZMnG via INFOnline GmbH, occurs with legitimate interest in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 (f) GDPR.</p>
<p>The purpose of processing personal data is the creation of statistics and the formation of user categories. The statistics are used to understand and substantiate the use of our offer. The user categories are the basis for an interest-oriented alignment of advertising material and advertising measures. For the marketing of this website, a usage measurement, which ensures comparability with other market participants, is essential. Our legitimate interest stems from the economic usability of the statistical findings and user categories and the market value of our website – also in direct comparison with third party websites – which can be determined from the statistics.</p>
<p>In addition, we have a legitimate interest in making the pseudonymised data of INFOnline, AGOF and IVW available for market research (AGOF, agma) and for statistical purposes (INFOnline, IVW). Furthermore, we have a legitimate interest in providing the pseudonymised data of INFOnline for the further development and provision of interest-oriented advertising material.</p>
<h3>2. Type of data</h3>
<p>INFOnline GmbH collects the following data, which indicate a personal reference in accordance with the EU-GDPR:</p>
<ul>
<li>IP address: On the Internet, every device requires a unique address, the so-called IP address, for transmitting data. Temporary storage of the IP address is at least technically necessary due to how the Internet works. The IP addresses are truncated by 1 byte prior to every processing and only processed anonymously. No storage or further processing of the full IP addresses takes place.</li>
<li>A randomly generated client identifier: Range processing uses either a cookie with the ID ‘ioam.de’, a ‘local storage object’ or a signature created from various automatically transmitted data from your browser to recognise computer systems. This identifier is unique to a browser as long as the cookie or local storage object is not deleted. Therefore, a measurement of the data and the subsequent assignment to the respective client identifier is also possible if you access other websites that also use the measurement procedure (‘SZMnG ‘) of INFOnline GmbH. The validity of the cookie is limited to a maximum of 1 year.</li>
</ul>
<h3>3. Use of the data</h3>
<p>The measurement procedure of INFOnline GmbH, which is used on this website, determines usage data. This occurs in order to collect the performance values of page impressions, visits and clients as well as to provide additional metrics (e.g. qualified clients). The measured data is additionally used as follows:</p>
<ul>
<li>A so-called geolocalisation, i.e. the assignment of a website visit to the area where the website was accessed, occurs exclusively on the basis of the anonymised IP address and only up to the geographical level of the states/regions. From the geographic information obtained in this way, in no case can the specific location of a user be determined.</li>
<li>The usage data of a technical client (for example, a browser on a device) are combined across websites and saved in a database. This information is used for the technical assessment of social information such as age and gender and given to the service providers of AGOF for further range processing. Within the scope of the AGOF study, social characteristics based on a random sample are technically evaluated as to which can be assigned to the following categories: age, gender, nationality, occupation, marital status, general household information, household income, place of residence, internet usage, online Interests, place of use and user type.</li>
</ul>
<h3>4. Retention period of the data</h3>
<p>The complete IP address will not be saved by INFOnline GmbH. The truncated IP address is stored for a maximum of 60 days. The usage data in connection with the unique identifier will be stored for a maximum of 6 months.</p>
<h3>5. Disclosure of the data</h3>
<p>The IP address as well as the truncated IP address are not forwarded. For the creation of the AGOF study, data with client identifiers are forwarded to the following service providers of the AGOF:</p>
<ul>
<li>Kantar Deutschland GmbH (<a href="https://www.tns-infratest.com/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">https://www.tns-infratest.com/</a>)</li>
<li>Ankordata GmbH & Co. KG (<a href="http://www.ankordata.de/homepage/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">http://www.ankordata.de/homepage/</a>)</li>
<li>Interrogare GmbH (<a href="https://www.interrogare.de/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">https://www.interrogare.de/</a>)</li>
</ul>
<h3>6. Rights of the data subjects </h3>
<p>The data subject has the following rights:</p>
<ul>

<h2>Using the scalable central measurement procedure via an application</h2>
<p>Our application uses the measuring procedure (‘SZMnG’) of INFOnline GmbH (<a href="https://www.INFOnline.de/en/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">https://www.INFOnline.de/en/</a>) to determine key statistical values for the use of our offers. The goal of the usage measurement is to statistically determine the usage intensity, number of uses and users of our application as well as their browsing behaviour – based on a uniform standard procedure – and thus to obtain comparable market values.</p>
<p>For all providers of digital offers – who are members of the German Audit Bureau of Circulation (Informationsgemeinschaft zur Feststellung der Verbreitung von Werbeträgern e.V., IVW: <a href="http://www.ivw.eu/englische-version" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">http://www.ivw.eu/englische-version</a>) or participate in the studies of the German Association of Online Research (Arbeitsgemeinschaft Online-Forschung e.V., AGOF: <a href="https://www.agof.de/?lang=en" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">https://www.agof.de/?lang=en</a>) – the usage statistics are further processed on a regular basis by AGOF and the Labour Association for Media Analysis (Arbeitsgemeinschaft Media-Analyze e.V., AGMA – <a href="http://www.agma-mmc.de" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">http://www.agma-mmc.de</a>) into ranges and published with the performance values ‘unique user’, and by the IVW with ‘page impression’ and ‘visits’. These ranges and statistics can be viewed on the respective websites.</p>
<h3>1. Legal foundation for the processing</h3>
<p>The measurement, by means of the measuring method SZMnG via INFOnline GmbH, occurs with legitimate interest in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 (f) GDPR.</p>
<p>The purpose of processing personal data is the creation of statistics and the formation of user categories. The statistics are used to understand and substantiate the use of our offer. The user categories are the basis for an interest-oriented alignment of advertising material and advertising measures. For the marketing of this website, a usage measurement, which ensures comparability with other market participants, is essential. Our legitimate interest stems from the economic usability of the statistical findings and user categories and the market value of our website – also in direct comparison with third party websites – which can be determined from the statistics.</p>
<p>In addition, we have a legitimate interest in making the pseudonymised data of INFOnline, AGOF and IVW available for market research (AGOF, agma) and for statistical purposes (INFOnline, IVW). Furthermore, we have a legitimate interest in providing the pseudonymised data of INFOnline for the further development and provision of interest-oriented advertising material.</p>
<h3>2. Type of data </h3>
<p>INFOnline GmbH collects the following data, which indicate a personal reference in accordance with the GDPR:</p>
<ul>
<li>IP address: On the Internet, every device requires a unique address, the so-called IP address, for transmitting data. Temporary storage of the IP address is at least technically necessary due to how the Internet works. The IP addresses are truncated prior to every processing and only processed anonymously. No storage or further processing of the full IP addresses takes place.</li>
<li>A randomly generated client identifier: Range processing uses either a cookie with the ID ‘ioam.de’, a ‘local storage object’ or a signature created from various automatically transmitted data from your browser to recognise computer systems. This identifier is unique to a browser as long as the cookie or local storage object is not deleted. Therefore, a measurement of the data and the subsequent assignment to the respective client identifier is also possible if you access other websites that also use the measurement procedure (‘SZMnG ‘) of INFOnline GmbH. </li>
</ul>
<p>The following unique device identifiers can be transmitted as a hash to INFOnline GmbH:</p>
<ul>
<li>Advertising identifier</li>
<li>Installation ID</li>
<li>Android ID</li>
<li>Vendor ID</li>
</ul>
<h3>3. Use of the data</h3>
<p>The measurement procedure of INFOnline GmbH, which is used on this website, determines usage data. This occurs in order to collect the performance values of page impressions, visits and clients as well as to provide additional metrics (e.g. qualified clients). The measured data is additionally used as follows:</p>
<ul>
<li>A so-called geolocalisation, i.e. the assignment of a website visit to the area where the website was accessed, occurs exclusively on the basis of the anonymised IP address and only up to the geographical level of the states/regions. From the geographic information obtained in this way, in no case can the specific location of a user be determined.</li>
<li>The usage data of a technical client (for example, a browser on a device) are combined across websites and saved in a database. This information is used for the technical assessment of social information such as age and gender and given to the service providers of AGOF for further range processing. Within the scope of the AGOF study, social characteristics based on a random sample are technically evaluated as to which can be assigned to the following categories: age, gender, nationality, occupation, marital status, general household information, household income, place of residence, internet usage, online Interests, place of use and user type.</li>
</ul>
<h3>4. Retention period of the data</h3>
<p>The complete IP address will not be saved by INFOnline GmbH. The truncated IP address is stored for a maximum of 60 days. The usage data in connection with the unique identifier will be stored for a maximum of 6 months.</p>
<h3>5. Disclosure of the data</h3>
<p>The IP address as well as the truncated IP address are not forwarded. For the creation of the AGOF study, data with client identifiers are forwarded to the following service providers of the AGOF:</p>
<ul>
<li>Kantar Deutschland GmbH (<a href="https://www.tns-infratest.com/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">https://www.tns-infratest.com/</a>)</li>
<li>Ankordata GmbH & Co. KG (<a href="http://www.ankordata.de/homepage/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">http://www.ankordata.de/homepage/</a>)</li>
<li>Interrogare GmbH (<a href="https://www.interrogare.de/" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">https://www.interrogare.de/</a>)</li>
</ul>
<h3>6. Rights of the data subjects </h3>
<p>The data subject has the following rights:</p>

<h3>Type and purpose of the processing</h3>
<p>Our websites use social plugins of the providers listed below. You can recognise the plugins by the fact that they are labelled with the appropriate logo.</p>
<p>Via these plugins, information that might also include personal information could be sent to and used by the service provider. We prevent the unknown and unwanted collection and transmission of data to the service provider by a 2-click solution. To activate a desired social plugin, it must first be activated by clicking on the corresponding button. Only through this activation of the plugin is the collection of information and its transmission to the service provider triggered. We do not collect any personally data by means of social plugins via their use.</p>
<p>We have no control over what data an activated plugin collects and how it is used by the provider. Currently, it must be assumed that a direct connection to the provider’s services will be expanded and at least the IP address and device-related information will be collected and used. Likewise, it is also possible that the service providers will try to save cookies on the computer used. Please refer to the privacy policy of the respective service provider to find out which specific data are collected thereby and how they are used. Note: If you are logged in to Facebook at the same time, Facebook can identify you as a visitor of a certain page.</p>
