Privacy

1. Privacy at a glance

General information

The following notes give a simple overview of what happens to your personal data when you visit our website. Personal data is any data by which you can be personally identified. For detailed information on data protection, please see the privacy policy set out below this text.

Data collection on our website

Who is responsible for collecting data on this website? Data processing on this website is carried out by the website operator. You will find their contact details in the imprint of this website.

How do we collect your data? Some of your data is collected because you provide it to us. This may be data you enter into a contact form, for example. Other data is collected automatically by our IT systems when you visit the website. This is mainly technical data (for example your browser, operating system or the time of the page view). This data is collected automatically as soon as you enter our website.

What do we use your data for? Some of the data is collected to ensure the website is provided without errors. Other data may be used to analyse how you use the site.

What rights do you have regarding your data? You have the right to receive information about the origin, recipients and purpose of your stored personal data free of charge at any time. You also have a right to request the correction, blocking or deletion of this data. For this and for further questions on data protection you can contact us at any time at the address given in the imprint. You also have a right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority.

Analytics tools and third-party tools

When you visit our website, your browsing behaviour may be evaluated statistically. This happens mainly with cookies and with what are known as analytics programs. The analysis of your browsing behaviour is generally anonymous; the browsing behaviour cannot be traced back to you. You can object to this analysis or prevent it by not using certain tools. You will find detailed information on this in the privacy policy below.

You can object to this analysis. We will inform you about the options for objecting in this privacy policy.

2. General information and mandatory disclosures

Data protection

The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy.

When you use this website, various items of personal data are collected. Personal data is data by which you can be personally identified. This privacy policy explains which data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this happens.

We point out that data transmission over the internet (for example when communicating by email) can have security gaps. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

Retention period for application data

Your personal application documents and data received from you by email are generally deleted automatically two months after the application process is completed. This does not apply where statutory provisions prevent deletion, where further storage is necessary for the purpose of providing evidence, or where you have expressly consented to longer storage.

Information about the controller

The controller for data processing on this website is:

Homepagely GmbH
Dorotheenstraße 54
22301 Hamburg, Germany

Phone: +49 1516 1436564
Email: info@homepagely.de

The controller is the natural or legal person who alone or jointly with others decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data (such as names, email addresses and the like).

Withdrawal of your consent to data processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can withdraw consent you have already given at any time. An informal message to us by email is sufficient. The lawfulness of the data processing carried out up to the withdrawal remains unaffected by it.

Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority

In the event of breaches of data protection law, the data subject has a right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority. The competent supervisory authority for data protection matters is the state data protection officer of the federal state in which our company has its registered office. A list of data protection officers and their contact details can be found at the following link: https://www.bfdi.bund.de/DE/Infothek/Anschriften_Links/anschriften_links-node.html.

Right to data portability

You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in performance of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done where it is technically feasible.

SSL and TLS encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or enquiries you send to us as the site operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the browser address bar changing from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in your browser bar.

When SSL or TLS encryption is active, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

3. Data collection on our website

Contact form

If you send us enquiries via the contact form, the details from the enquiry form, including the contact details you provide there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the enquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We do not pass this data on without your consent.

The processing of the data entered into the contact form is therefore based exclusively on your consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR). You can withdraw this consent at any time. An informal message to us by email is sufficient. The lawfulness of the data processing operations carried out up to the withdrawal remains unaffected by it.

The data you enter into the contact form remains with us until you ask us to delete it, withdraw your consent to storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (for example once your enquiry has been dealt with). Mandatory statutory provisions, in particular retention periods, remain unaffected.

4. Analytics tools and advertising

Google Analytics

This website uses functions of the web analytics service Google Analytics. The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

Google Analytics uses what are known as "cookies". These are text files stored on your computer that make it possible to analyse how you use the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is generally transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

Google Analytics cookies are stored on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analysing user behaviour in order to optimise both its web offering and its advertising.

IP anonymisation

We have activated the IP anonymisation function on this website. As a result, your IP address is shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other states party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before being transmitted to the USA. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transferred to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide the website operator with further services relating to website use and internet use. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not merged with other Google data.

Browser plugin

You can prevent cookies from being stored by setting your browser software accordingly; we point out, however, that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of this website to their full extent. You can also prevent the collection of the data generated by the cookie and relating to your use of the website (including your IP address) by Google, as well as the processing of this data by Google, by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.

Objection to data collection

You can prevent Google Analytics from collecting your data by clicking the following link. An opt-out cookie will be set that prevents your data from being collected on future visits to this website: Deactivate Google Analytics.

You will find more information on how Google Analytics handles user data in Google's privacy policy: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=de.

Demographic characteristics in Google Analytics

This website uses the "demographic characteristics" function of Google Analytics. It allows reports to be produced containing statements about the age, gender and interests of site visitors. This data comes from interest-based advertising by Google and from visitor data provided by third parties. This data cannot be assigned to any particular person. You can deactivate this function at any time via the ad settings in your Google account, or prohibit the collection of your data by Google Analytics generally, as described under "Objection to data collection".

Google Analytics Remarketing

Our websites use the functions of Google Analytics Remarketing in combination with the cross-device functions of Google AdWords and Google DoubleClick. The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

This function makes it possible to link the advertising target groups created with Google Analytics Remarketing to the cross-device functions of Google AdWords and Google DoubleClick. In this way, interest-based, personalised advertising messages that have been adapted to you based on your previous usage and browsing behaviour on one device (for example a phone) can also be displayed on another of your devices (for example a tablet or a PC).

If you have given corresponding consent, Google will link your web and app browsing history to your Google account for this purpose. In this way, the same personalised advertising messages can be served on every device on which you sign in with your Google account.

To support this function, Google Analytics collects Google-authenticated user IDs, which are temporarily linked to our Google Analytics data in order to define and create target groups for cross-device display advertising.

You can permanently object to cross-device remarketing and targeting by deactivating personalised advertising in your Google account; to do so, follow this link: https://www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb/.

The aggregation of the collected data in your Google account is based exclusively on your consent, which you can give or withdraw with Google (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR). For data collection operations that are not merged into your Google account (for example because you do not have a Google account or have objected to the merging), the collection of data is based on Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The legitimate interest arises from the fact that the website operator has an interest in the anonymised analysis of website visitors for advertising purposes.

You will find further information and the data protection provisions in Google's privacy policy at: https://www.google.com/policies/technologies/ads/.

Google AdWords and Google conversion tracking

This website uses Google AdWords. AdWords is an online advertising program of Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, United States ("Google").

Within Google AdWords we use what is known as conversion tracking. When you click an ad served by Google, a cookie is set for conversion tracking. Cookies are small text files that the internet browser stores on the user's computer. These cookies expire after 30 days and are not used to identify users personally. If the user visits certain pages of this website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can recognise that the user clicked the ad and was forwarded to this page.

Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. The cookies cannot be tracked across the websites of AdWords customers. The information obtained using the conversion cookie is used to produce conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers learn the total number of users who clicked their ad and were forwarded to a page with a conversion tracking tag. They do not, however, receive any information that allows users to be personally identified. If you do not wish to take part in tracking, you can object to this use by easily deactivating the Google conversion tracking cookie in your internet browser under user settings. You will then not be included in the conversion tracking statistics.

"Conversion cookies" are stored on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analysing user behaviour in order to optimise both its web offering and its advertising.

You will find more information on Google AdWords and Google conversion tracking in Google's data protection provisions: https://www.google.de/policies/privacy/.

You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and allow cookies only in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when the browser is closed. Deactivating cookies may limit the functionality of this website.
