2. The information we collect

Below are the different types of information we may collect.

Non-personally identifiable information that you may provide during the registration process or that is collected when you use our services (‘non-personal information’). Non-Personal Information does not allow us to identify the person from whom it was collected. The Non-Personal Information we collect is primarily technical information and aggregate usage information.
Information that identifies you individually, i.e. information that identifies you or can, with a reasonable effort, identify you (‘personal information’). The Personal Information we collect through our services includes, but is not limited to, name, e-mail address, address, telephone number, IP address or other information requested whenever necessary. If we combine personal information with non-personal information, we will treat the combined information as personal information for as long as it remains combined.

Below are the main methods we use to collect information:

We collect information when you use the services. When you visit our digital properties or use our services, we may collect and record such usage, sessions and related information.
We collect information that you provide to us voluntarily. For example, we collect the information you provide when you contact us directly through a communication channel (for example, when you send us an email with a comment or feedback).
We may collect information from third party sources as described below.
We collect the information you provide if you connect to our services via third-party services such as Facebook or Google.

5. With whom we share information

We may share your information with our service providers in order to operate our services (for example, storing information on third party hosting services, providing our technical support, etc.).

We may also disclose your information in the following circumstances:

to investigate, detect, prevent or take action regarding illegal activities or other wrongdoing, suspected fraud or security issues;

to establish or exercise our rights of defence against legal claims;

to protect our rights, property or personal safety, as well as those of our users or the general public;

6. Cookies and similar technologies

Cookies are small text files that store information on end devices and read information from end devices. Cookies can be used for various purposes, for example to ensure the functionality, security and convenience of our online offering.

We use cookies in accordance with legal requirements. We therefore obtain the prior consent of users, unless this is not required by law. In particular, consent is not required if the storage and reading of information, including cookies, is absolutely necessary to provide a telemedia service that you have expressly requested (our online offering). Revocable consent is clearly communicated and contains information on the respective use of cookies.

If, as a user of our online offer, you consent, the legal basis for processing your data is your declared consent in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) and Article 7 of the GDPR. Otherwise, data processed using cookies will be processed on the basis of our legitimate interests in operating our online offering and improving its user-friendliness (in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR).

Temporary cookies are deleted at the latest once a user has left an online offer and closed their device (e.g. browser or mobile application).

7. Presence on social networks (social media)

We maintain an online presence on social networks and process user data in this context in order to communicate with users who are active there or to offer information about us.

We draw your attention to the fact that user data may be processed outside the European Union. This may entail risks for users as, for example, it could make it more difficult to enforce their rights. In addition, social network user data is generally processed for market research and advertising purposes. For example, usage profiles may be created on the basis of the resulting usage behaviour and interests of users. Usage profiles may in turn be used, for example, to place advertisements inside and outside the networks that are likely to correspond to users' interests. For these purposes, cookies are generally stored on users' computers, in which the user's usage behaviour and interests are stored. In addition, data may also be stored in usage profiles, regardless of the devices used by users (in particular if users are members of the respective platforms and are connected to them).

For a detailed description of the respective forms of processing and opt-out options, please refer to the data protection declarations and information provided by the respective network operators.

In the event of requests for information and the assertion of the rights of data subjects, we would also draw your attention to the fact that these can be asserted in the most effective manner with the service providers. Only service providers have access to user data and can take appropriate measures and provide information directly.
