6. website analysis with Google Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics 4, a web analysis service of Google LLC, after the user's consent has been obtained. The responsible bodies are Google Ireland Limited, Google Building Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland, for users from the EU/EEA and Switzerland. Google Analytics 4 uses IP anonymization by default, i.e. your IP address is immediately truncated when you interact with this website. Only in rare cases will your full IP be transmitted to a Google server based in the USA and truncated there. Google asserts that the IP transmitted via Google Analytics is never combined with other Google data. Google Analytics 4 is only activated with your consent via the cookie banner and can be revoked at any time via the cookie settings.

The processed data includes: Usage data such as page views, website interaction, general location and visit duration; and Communication data such as truncated IP addresses, user agent, language settings and screen resolution. The purpose of this data processing is for Google to evaluate the use of your website on your behalf, compile reports on the activities and analyze the performance of the website. This data processing is legal, based on your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 para. 1 sentence 1 TDDDG.

Google Ireland Limited, Google LLC and Alphabet Inc are the recipients of this data. Your website usage information is usually sent to a Google server in the USA, an action legitimized by the recent adequacy decision of the European Commission of 10 July 2023, which recognizes the certification of Google LLC under the EU-US Privacy Shield. In terms of data storage, any data associated with cookies is automatically deleted after a certain period of time, monthly for data that has reached its retention period and a maximum of 2 years for Google Analytics cookies.

For more information on the terms of use of Google Analytics and Google's privacy policy, please visit https://policies.google.com/ and https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/12017362.

Google Analytics uses "cookies", which are text files placed on the visitor's computer, to help the website analyze how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about the use of this website by the site visitor (including the shortened IP address) is usually transmitted to a Google server and stored there.

Google Analytics is used exclusively with the extension "_anonymizeIp()" on this website. This extension ensures anonymization of the IP address by shortening it and excludes the possibility of direct personal references. The extension shortens the IP address of Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. The IP address transmitted by the relevant browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

On behalf of the website operator, Google will use the information collected to evaluate the use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services related to website activity and internet usage to the website operator (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR). The legitimate interest in data processing lies in the optimization of this website, the analysis of the use of the website and the adaptation of the content. The interests of users are adequately protected by pseudonymization.

Google LLC. is certified according to the so-called Privacy Shield (list entry here) and guarantees an appropriate level of data protection on this basis. The data sent and linked to cookies, user identifiers (e.g. user ID) or advertising IDs are automatically deleted after 50 months. Data that has reached the end of its retention period is automatically deleted once a month.

The collection by Google Analytics can be prevented by the site visitor adjusting the cookie settings for this website. The collection and storage of the IP address and the data generated by cookies can also be objected to at any time with effect for the future. The corresponding browser plugin can be downloaded and installed at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

Further information on the use of data by Google, setting and objection options, can be found in Google's privacy policy (https://policies.google.com/privacy) and in the settings for the display of advertisements by Google (https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated).

7. website analysis (GoDaddy statistics)

When you visit our website, we collect information about your usage through a web analytics tool provided by our hosting service. This tool collects and combines your IP address and your user agent, shortens them and stores this data with a hash function. This process creates a visitor identifier that is encrypted with a randomly generated value (SALT) that changes every 24 hours. This method ensures that your IP address cannot be reconstructed from the stored visitor identifier, thus preserving your anonymity. In addition, we do not merge this information with other data and it is only stored on the hosting provider's server.

We also process web analytics data, HTTP data and web analytics profile data. The web analytics tool we use creates and stores a web analytics profile that contains details about your use of the website, such as page views, frequency of visits, time spent on each page and the user agent of your device. This includes usage data (such as web pages visited and access times) and communication data (such as browser type, operating system and IP addresses).

By processing this data, we want to analyze user behavior in summarized form in order to improve the presentation and content of our website. The legal basis for this processing is our legitimate interest (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. (f) GDPR), in particular in carrying out web measurements in order to improve our products and our website.

The data collected is shared with our website hosting provider and processed within the EU.
