data protection
Scope of application
This privacy policy is intended to inform the users of this website about the type, scope, and purpose of the collection and use of personal data by the website operator MEDIAPEL GmbH, Am Galgenberg 1, 37213 Witzenhausen, Germany, in accordance with the German Federal Data Protection Act and the German Telemedia Act.
The website operator takes your data protection very seriously and treats your personal data confidentially and in accordance with legal regulations.
Please bear in mind that data transmission over the Internet can always be subject to security vulnerabilities. Complete protection against access by third parties cannot be realised.
Access data
The website operator or site provider collects data about access to the site and saves it as "server log files". The following data is logged:
Visited website
time of access
Amount of data sent in bytes
Source/reference from which you reached the page
Browser used
Operating system used
IP address used
The data collected is only used for statistical analyses and to improve the website. However, the website operator reserves the right to check the server log files retrospectively if there are concrete indications of unlawful use.
Cookies
This website uses cookies. These are small text files that are stored on your end device. Your browser accesses these files. The use of cookies increases the user-friendliness and security of this website.
Common browsers offer the setting option of not allowing cookies. Note: There is no guarantee that you will be able to access all functions of this website without restrictions if you make the appropriate settings.
Handling of personal data
The website operator only collects, uses, and passes on your personal data if this is permitted by law or if you consent to the collection of data.
Personal data is all information that can be used to identify you personally and that can be traced back to you – for example, your name, e-mail address and telephone number.
Handling contact data
If you contact the website operator using the contact options provided, your details will be stored so that they can be used to process and respond to your enquiry. This data will not be passed on to third parties without your consent.
Rights of the user: information, correction, and deletion
As a user, you can request information free of charge about what personal data has been stored about you. If your request does not conflict with a legal obligation to store data (e.g. data retention), you have the right to have incorrect data corrected and to have your personal data blocked or deleted.
Google Analytics
This website uses functions of the web analysis service Google Analytics. The provider is Google Ireland Limited ("Google"), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
Google Analytics enables the website operator to analyse the behaviour of website visitors. In doing so, the website operator receives various usage data, such as page views, duration of visit, operating systems used and origin of the user. This data may be summarised by Google in a profile that is assigned to the respective user or their end device.
Google Analytics uses technologies that enable the recognition of the user for the purpose of analysing user behaviour (e.g. cookies or device fingerprinting). The information collected by Google about the use of this website is generally transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.
The use of this analysis tool is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO (German Data Protection Regulation). The website operator has a legitimate interest in analysing user behaviour in order to optimise both its website and its advertising. If a corresponding consent has been requested (e.g. consent to the storage of cookies), the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO; the consent can be revoked at any time.
IP anonymisation
We have activated the IP anonymisation function on this website. This means that your IP address will be truncated by Google within member states of the European Union or in other signatory states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before being transmitted to the USA. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to analyse your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide the website operator with other services relating to website activity and internet usage. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.
Browser plugin
You can prevent the collection and processing of your data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.

Demographic characteristics with Google Analytics
This website uses the "demographic characteristics" function of Google Analytics in order to be able to display suitable adverts to website visitors within the Google advertising network. This allows reports to be generated that contain statements about the age, gender, and interests of site visitors. This data comes from interest-based advertising from Google and from visitor data from third-party providers. This data cannot be assigned to a specific person. You can deactivate this function at any time via the ad settings in your Google account or generally prohibit the collection of your data by Google Analytics as described in the section "Objection to data collection".
Storage period
Data stored by Google at user and event level that is linked to cookies, user IDs or advertising IDs (e.g. DoubleClick cookies, Android advertising ID) is anonymised or deleted after 14 months. For details, please see the following link: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/7667196?hl=de
