Data Privacy

Thank you for your interest in our website. Data protection is of a particularly high priority for the management of ANDREASKLIPPE.COM. As a rule, the use of the ANDREASKLIPPE.COM website is possible without any input of personal data. However, if an individual wants to use our services via our website, processing of personal data could become necessary. If processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we will generally obtain the consent of this individual.

The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, e-mail address, or telephone number of an individual shall always be in line with any country-specific data protection regulations. By means of this data protection declaration, we would like to inform the public about the type, scope and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process. Furthermore, individuals are informed of their rights by means of this data protection declaration.

We have implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection of personal data processed through this website. Nevertheless, internet-based data transmissions can always have security gaps, so that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every individual is free to transmit personal data to us by alternative means, such as by telephone or messaging app.

3. COOKIES

The internet pages of ANDREASKLIPPE.COM use cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored on a computer system via an Internet browser.

Numerous websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier for the cookie. It consists of a string of characters by which Internet pages and servers can be assigned to the specific Internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This enables the visited Internet pages and servers to distinguish the individual browser of the data subject from other Internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific Internet browser can be recognized and identified via the unique cookie ID.

Through the use of cookies, ANDREASKLIPPE.COM can provide the users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the cookie setting.

By means of a cookie, the information and offers on our website can be optimized for the user. Cookies enable us, as already mentioned, to recognize the users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to use our website. For example, the user of a website that uses cookies does not have to re-enter his or her access data each time he or she visits the website, because this is handled by the website and the cookie stored on the user’s computer system.

The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of an appropriate setting of the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Furthermore, cookies that have already been set can be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all common Internet browsers. If the data subject deactivates the setting of cookies in the Internet browser used, not all functions of our website may be fully usable.

4. COLLECTION OF GENERAL DATA AND INFORMATION

The website ANDREASKLIPPE.COM collects a series of general data and information with each call-up of the website by a data subject or automated system. This general data and information is stored in the log files of the server. The (1) browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which a system to be accessed accesses our website (so-called referrer), (4) the sub-pages accessed via a system to be accessed on our website, (5) date and time of access to the website, (6) an Internet protocol address (IP address). When using these general data and information, ANDREASKLIPPE.COM does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is needed (1) to deliver the content of our website correctly, (2) to optimize the content of our website and the advertising for it, (3) to ensure the long-term functionality of our information technology systems and technology of our website and (4) to provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for prosecution in case of a cyber attack. Therefore, the ANDREASKLIPPE.COM analyzes anonymously collected data and information on one hand, and on the other hand aims at increasing the data protection and data security of our enterprise so that we can ultimately ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from any personal data provided by a data subject.

5. SUBSCRIBE TO OUR NEWSLETTER

On the website of ANDREASKLIPPE.COM, users are given the opportunity to subscribe to our newsletter. The personal data transmitted to the controller when the user subscribes to the newsletter is specified in the input mask used for this purpose. The data is stored at a third-party company called GetResponse. The privacy policy for GetResponse is specified in Section 5-K of this GDPR.

ANDREASKLIPPE.COM informs its customers and business partners at regular intervals by means of a newsletter about enterprise offers. The newsletter of our enterprise can basically only be received by the data subject, if (1) the data subject has a valid e-mail address and (2) the data subject registers for the newsletter mailing. For legal reasons, a confirmation e-mail will be sent to the e-mail address entered by a data subject for the first time for newsletter dispatch using the double opt-in procedure. This confirmation e-mail serves to verify whether the owner of the e-mail address as the data subject has authorized the receipt of the newsletter.

When registering for the newsletter, we also store the IP address of the computer system used by the data subject at the time of registration, as assigned by the Internet service provider (ISP), as well as the date and time of registration. The collection of this data is necessary in order to be able to trace the (possible) misuse of the e-mail address of a data subject at a later point in time and therefore serves the legal safeguarding of the controller.

The personal data collected when subscribing to the newsletter are used exclusively for sending our newsletter. In addition, subscribers to the newsletter may be informed by e-mail if this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or a corresponding registration, as might be the case in the event of changes to the newsletter offering or changes in technical circumstances. The personal data collected as part of the newsletter service will not be disclosed to third parties. The subscription to our newsletter can be cancelled by the data subject at any time. The consent to the storage of personal data that the data subject has given us for the newsletter mailing can be revoked at any time. For the purpose of revocation, a corresponding link can be found in each newsletter. Furthermore, it is possible to unsubscribe from the newsletter mailing directly on the website of the controller or to notify the controller of this in another way.

6. NEWSLETTER TRACKING

The newsletters of ANDREASKLIPPE.COM contain so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic that is embedded in emails sent in HTML format to enable log file recording and log file analysis. This allows for statistical analysis of the success or failure of online marketing campaigns. Based on the embedded tracking pixel, ANDREASKLIPPE.COM may see if and when an e-mail was opened by a data subject, and which links in the e-mail were called up by the data subject.

Such personal data collected via the tracking pixel contained in the newsletters are stored and analyzed by the controller in order to optimize the newsletter dispatch and to better tailor the content of future newsletters to the interests of the data subject. This personal data will not be disclosed to third parties. Data subjects are entitled at any time to revoke the separate declaration of consent in this regard, which was given via the double opt-in procedure. After revocation, this personal data will be deleted by the controller. ANDREASKLIPPE.COM automatically regards a withdrawal from the receipt of the newsletter as a revocation.

7. POSSIBILITY OF CONTACT VIA THE WEBSITE

Based on statutory provisions, the website of ANDREASKLIPPE.COM contains data that enable a quick electronic contact to our enterprise, as well as direct communication with us, which also includes a general address of the so-called electronic mail (e-mail address). If a data subject contacts the controller by e-mail or by using a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject will be stored automatically. Such personal data transmitted on a voluntary basis by a data subject to the controller will be stored for the purpose of processing or contacting the data subject.

8. COMMENT FUNCTION IN THE BLOG ON THE WEBSITE

ANDREASKLIPPE.COM provides users with the possibility to leave individual comments on individual blog contributions on a blog, which is on the website of the controller. A blog is a website, usually accessible to the public, on which one or more persons, called bloggers, can post articles or write down thoughts in so-called blog posts. The blog posts can usually be commented on by third parties.

If a data subject leaves a comment on the blog published on this website, in addition to the comments left by the data subject, information on the time of comment entry and the user name (pseudonym) chosen by the data subject will be stored and published. Furthermore, the IP address assigned by the Internet service provider (ISP) of the data subject is also logged. The IP address is stored for security reasons and in the event that the data subject violates the rights of third parties by posting a comment or posts illegal content. The storage of this personal data is therefore in the controller’s own interest so that it can apologize in the event of a violation of the law.

9. SUBSCRIBE TO COMMENTS IN THE BLOG ON THE WEBSITE

The comments made in the blog of ANDREASKLIPPE.COM can generally be subscribed to by third parties. In particular, a commentator has the possibility to subscribe to comments following his or her comment on a certain blog post.

If a data subject opts for the option to subscribe to comments, the controller sends an automatic confirmation e-mail in order to verify in the double opt-in procedure that it is indeed the owner of the e-mail address provided who has opted for the e-mail address option. The option to subscribe to comments may be cancelled at any time.

10. ROUTINE DELETION AND BLOCKING OF PERSONAL DATA

The controller shall process and store personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the backup purpose or where specified by the European Directive and Regulation legislator or other legislator in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject.

If the security purpose ceases to apply or if a storage period prescribed by the European Directive and Regulation Maker or another competent legislator expires, the personal data shall be routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with the statutory provisions.

13. PRIVACY STATEMENT IN RELATION TO THE USE AND APPLICATION OF THIRD PARTY APPLICATIONS

The controller responsible for processing has integrated components and applications of various third-party companies on this website.
  1. FACEBOOK
    Facebook is a social network. A social network is a social meeting place operated on the Internet, an online community that usually allows users to communicate and interact with each other in virtual space. A social network can serve as a platform for sharing opinions and experiences or enables the Internet community to provide personal or company-related information. Among other things, Facebook enables users of the social network to create private profiles, upload photos and network via friend requests. The operating company of Facebook is Facebook, Inc, 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA. The responsible party for the processing of personal data is Facebook Ireland Ltd, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland, if our website is accessed from a member state of the European Union. By each call of one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the controller and on which a Facebook component (Facebook plug-in) has been integrated, the internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically activated, causing a representation of the corresponding Facebook component to be downloaded by Facebook. A complete overview of all Facebook plugins can be found at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins. Within the scope of this technical procedure, Facebook receives knowledge of which specific subpage of our website is visited by the data subject. If the data subject is logged in to Facebook at the same time, Facebook recognizes which specific subpage of our website the data subject is visiting each time the data subject calls up our website and for the entire duration of the respective stay on our website. This information is collected by the Facebook component and assigned by Facebook to the respective Facebook account of the data subject. If the data subject activates one of the Facebook buttons integrated on our website, for example the “Like” button, or if the data subject makes a comment, Facebook assigns this information to the personal Facebook user account of the data subject and stores this personal data.

    Facebook always receives information via the Facebook component that the data subject has visited our website if the data subject is simultaneously logged into Facebook at the time of calling up our website; this takes place regardless of whether the data subject clicks on the Facebook component or not. If such transmission of this information to Facebook is not desired by the data subject, he or she can prevent the transmission by logging out of his or her Facebook account before calling up our website.

    The data policy published by Facebook, which is available at https://www.facebook.com/privacy/explanation/, provides information about the collection, processing and use of personal data by Facebook. It also explains which setting options Facebook offers to protect the privacy of the data subject. In addition, various applications are available that make it possible to suppress data transmission to Facebook. Such applications allow the data subject to suppress data transmission to Facebook.

  2. GOOGLE ADSENSE
    Google AdSense is an online service that enables the placement of advertisements on third-party sites. Google AdSense is based on an algorithm that selects the advertisements displayed on third-party sites to match the content of the respective third-party site. Google AdSense enables interest-based targeting of Internet users, which is implemented by creating individual user profiles. The operating company of the Google AdSense component is Alphabet Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA. The purpose of the Google AdSense component is to integrate advertisements on our website. Google AdSense sets a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. What cookies are has already been explained above. By setting the cookie, it is possible for Alphabet Inc. to analyze the use of our website. By each call of one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the data controller and on which a Google AdSense component has been integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically triggered by the respective Google AdSense component, data is transmitted to Alphabet Inc. for the purpose of online advertising and commission accounting. The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website, as already described above, at any time by means of an appropriate setting of the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent Alphabet Inc. from setting a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. In addition, a cookie already set by Alphabet Inc. can be deleted at any time via the Internet browser or other software programs.

    Google AdSense also uses so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic that is embedded in Internet pages to enable log file recording and log file analysis, whereby a statistical evaluation can be performed. Based on the embedded tracking pixel, Alphabet Inc. may see if and when a webpage was opened by a data subject and which links were clicked by the data subject. Tracking pixels are used, among other things, to evaluate the flow of visitors to a website.

    Via Google AdSense, personal data and information, which also includes the IP address and is necessary for the collection and billing of the displayed advertisements, is transferred to Alphabet Inc. in the United States of America. This personal data is stored and processed in the United States of America. Alphabet Inc. may pass on this personal data collected via the technical process to third parties.

    Google AdSense is explained in more detail under this link https://support.google.com/adsense/.

  3. GOOGLE ANALYTICS (WITH ANONYMIZATION FUNCTION)
    The controller has integrated the Google Analytics component (with anonymization function) on this website. Google Analytics is a web analysis service. Web analytics is the collection, compilation and analysis of data about the behavior of visitors to websites. A web analysis service collects, among other things, data about the website from which a data subject accessed a website (so-called referrers), which sub-pages of the website were accessed or how often and for how long a sub-page was viewed. A web analysis is mainly used for the optimization of a website and for the cost-benefit analysis of internet advertising. The operating company of the Google Analytics component is Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA. The controller uses the addition “_gat._anonymizeIp” for web analysis via Google Analytics. By means of this addition, the IP address of the Internet connection of the data subject is shortened and anonymized by Google if access to our Internet pages is from a Member State of the European Union or from another state party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyze the flow of visitors to our website. Among other things, Google uses the data and information obtained to evaluate the use of our website, to compile online reports for us showing the activities on our website, and to provide other services related to the use of our website.

    Google Analytics sets a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. What cookies are has already been explained above. By setting the cookie, Google is enabled to analyze the use of our website. By each call of one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the controller and on which a Google Analytics component has been integrated, the internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically triggered by the respective Google Analytics component to transmit data to Google for the purpose of online analysis. As part of this technical procedure, Google obtains knowledge of personal data, such as the IP address of the data subject, which Google uses, among other things

    By means of the cookie, personal information, for example the access time, the location from which an access originated and the frequency of visits to our website by the data subject, is stored. Each time the data subject visits our website, this personal data, including the IP address of the internet connection used by the data subject, is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may disclose this personal data collected via the technical procedure to third parties.

    The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website, as already described above, at any time by means of an appropriate setting of the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent Google from setting a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject.
