2. collection and storage of personal data and the nature and purpose of their use

a) When visiting the website

When you visit our website janinaaue.com, the browser used on your device automatically sends information to the server of our website. This information is temporarily stored in a so-called log file. The following information is collected without any action on your part and stored until it is automatically deleted

  • IP address of the requesting computer,

  • Date and time of access,

  • Name and URL of the retrieved file,

  • Website from which the access was made (referrer URL), browser used and, if applicable, the operating system of your computer and the name of your access provider.

​

The aforementioned data is processed by us for the following purposes

  • Ensuring a smooth connection to the website,

  • Ensuring a comfortable use of our website, analysing system security and stability and for other administrative purposes.

​

The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest follows from the purposes for data collection listed above. Under no circumstances do we use the data collected for the purpose of drawing conclusions about your person.  The data will not be passed on to third parties in this context. However, we reserve the right to subsequently check the server log files if there are concrete indications of unlawful use. In addition, we may use cookies and analysis services when you visit our website. You can find more detailed explanations on this in section 5 of this privacy policy.

​

b) When contacting us via our contact form or by e-mail

If you have questions of any kind, we offer you the opportunity to contact us using a form provided on the website. The data collected when you use the contact form can be seen from the contact form. As a minimum, it is necessary to provide your name, a valid e-mail address and telephone number as well as a short message so that we know who sent the enquiry and what it is about in order to be able to answer it. You can also contact us via the e-mail address provided on our website. In this case, the user's personal data transmitted with the email will be stored.

 

The purpose of data processing in accordance with Art. 13 para. 1 lit. c GDPR is to provide a simple contact option for our website visitors. The legal basis for the processing of data transmitted in the course of contacting us via the contact form or sending an e-mail is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. It is our legitimate interest to be able to be contacted by our website visitors. If the e-mail contact is aimed at the conclusion of a contract, the additional legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, the processing serves the fulfilment of a contract or pre-contractual measures. 

 

The user has the option at any time to revoke their consent to the processing of personal data or to object to the storage of their personal data at any time. In such a case, the enquiry cannot be processed and the conversation cannot be continued.

​

Your personal data will not be transferred to third parties for purposes other than those listed below. 

We only pass on your personal data to third parties if:

  • you have given your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR,

  • the disclosure pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR is necessary for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding interest worthy of protection in not disclosing your data,

  • in the event that there is a legal obligation for the disclosure pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. c GDPR,

  • as well as this is legally permissible and necessary for the processing of contractual relationships with you in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR.

The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required for the purpose for which it was collected, i.e. after the enquiry has been processed.  This is the case when it can be inferred from the circumstances that the matter in question has been conclusively clarified and provided that there are no statutory retention obligations to the contrary. 

 

3. data security

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of personal data and other confidential content, this website uses the popular Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption method in conjunction with the highest level of encryption supported by your browser to make your visit as secure as possible. As a rule, this is 256-bit encryption. If your browser does not support 256-bit encryption, we use 128-bit v3 technology instead. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the character string ‘https://’ and the lock symbol in your browser line.

 

4. page functionality

On this website, we use the CAPTCHA service of the following provider: Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland.

 

Data may also be transmitted to: Google LLC, USA. The provider uses ‘Google Fonts’, i.e. fonts downloaded from the Internet by Google, for the visual design of the Captcha window. No information other than that already transmitted to Google via the ReCaptcha functionality is processed.

 

The service checks whether an entry is made by a natural person or abusively by machine and automated processing, and blocks spam, DDoS attacks and similar automated malicious access. To ensure that an action is carried out by a human and not by an automated bot, Cloudflare Turnstile collects the IP address of the end device used, identification data of the browser and operating system type used as well as the date and duration of the visit and transmits these to the provider's servers for evaluation.

 

The legal basis is our legitimate interest in determining individual responsibility on the Internet and the prevention of abuse and spam in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

​

For data transfers to the USA, the provider has signed up to the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, which ensures compliance with the European level of data protection on the basis of an adequacy decision by the European Commission.

 

5. cookies

1) This website uses cookies. Cookies are small text files that your internet browser stores on your device (PC, laptop, tablet, smartphone, etc.). They serve to make the use of our services more pleasant and convenient for you or for analytical purposes. When you revisit the corresponding page, cookies enable the recognition of your device. Among other things, this ensures that data you have previously entered is available again when filling out a form or that the ordering process of items already placed in the shopping cart can be continued.

If cookies are used to facilitate the conclusion or execution of a contract, the legal basis is Article 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. b GDPR. If cookies are used to safeguard our legitimate interests in providing a pleasant and convenient functionality as well as in analyzing and improving our website, the legal basis is Article 6 para. sentence 1 lit. f GDPR.

(2) This website uses the following types of cookies:

  • In most cases, we use cookies that are automatically deleted from your hard drive after you close the browser or log out (transient cookies, in particular so-called session cookies).

  • Other cookies remain on your device and enable us to recognize your device upon your next visit (so-called persistent or permanent cookies). These cookies are automatically deleted from your system after a preset period, which varies depending on the cookie.

(3) This website integrates content and services from other providers (e.g., Google), which may themselves use cookies and active components. In this regard, we refer to our following explanations.

(4) You can change the storage of cookies in your browser settings at any time, e.g., by refusing the acceptance of cookies altogether, third-party cookies (cookies set by a third party, i.e., not by the actual website you are currently visiting), or individual cookies, or by deleting them.

​

6. Tools

​

a) Social Plugins

We use social plugins on our website to increase awareness of our company and our website and to make them as well as our offerings more user-friendly and attractive. The plugins are only integrated into our website in the form of a link. This means that no data is transmitted to the respective providers when accessing our website. By clicking on one of the buttons, you will be redirected to the respective social network’s offering and can share, like, or perform similar actions with the content there. If you are logged into your account on the respective network at the time of using a plugin, the social network can—after clicking the button—assign your visit to our website and the page you accessed to your account. The responsible party for this data processing is the respective provider. If you use the plugin function, the relevant information will be transmitted to the social network, stored, and possibly published on your network page depending on the function. If you are not logged into your account, clicking the button will take you to the social network’s login screen, allowing you to share the content after successfully logging in. In this case, your browser will transmit data (including your IP address) to the social network, even if you are not registered or logged in there. The information transmitted, which is associated with your browser, could be linked to your account when you sign in or log in at a later time. If you do not want this, you must log out of the respective network before clicking the button and delete the cookies from the device you are using.

We use social plugins from the following providers:

​

LinkedIn:
Our website uses functions of the LinkedIn network. The provider is LinkedIn Corporation, 2029 Stierlin Court, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Every time one of our pages that contains LinkedIn functions is accessed, a connection is established to LinkedIn’s servers. LinkedIn is informed that you have visited our website with your IP address. If you click the "Recommend" button on LinkedIn while logged into your LinkedIn account, LinkedIn can associate your visit to our website with your user account. We point out that, as the provider of the website, we have no knowledge of the content of the transmitted data or its use by LinkedIn.

Further information can be found in LinkedIn's privacy policy: https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy.

​

b) Widgets​

Our homepage integrates widgets that display reviews from other websites, including the widget from www.anwalt.deto showcase ratings. anwalt.de uses Google Analytics, Google AdWords Conversion Tracking, and Google Tag Manager as services provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA ("Google").

Google Analytics uses "cookies," which allow Google to analyze the use of anwalt.de's website services. The information collected through the cookie about the use of anwalt.de's pages (including IP addresses) is typically transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. Please note that Google Analytics is configured to collect IP addresses only in an anonymized form (so-called IP masking). Due to this anonymization, Google shortens IP addresses within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area, preventing any direct conclusions about your identity. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transferred to a Google server in the USA and shortened there.

Google uses the collected information to analyze the use of anwalt.de’s websites, compile reports on website activity for anwalt.de, and provide other related services.

Google AdWords Conversion Tracking uses cookies that remain active on your computer for approximately 30 days. If you visit a customer's website within this period, Google and the customer will be informed that you have seen the ad provided by Google.

anwalt.de also uses Google Tag Manager. This service allows the management of website tags via an interface. It only integrates tags, meaning that no cookies are used, and no personal data is collected. However, the use of Google Tag Manager may trigger other tags that collect data, which Google Tag Manager itself does not access.

It is possible to deactivate tracking on a domain or cookie level, thereby affecting all tracking tags implemented via Google Tag Manager. If you wish to disable the use of cookies, you can configure your browser to reject all cookies or notify you when a cookie is sent.

Additionally, you can prevent Google from collecting and processing your data by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.

Google has committed to the data protection regulations of the "Privacy Shield" agreement between the EU and the USA: https://www.privacyshield.gov/
https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/frameworks/

​

c) Google Maps, Google Places API

On this website, we use the Google Maps service. This allows us to display interactive maps or map information directly on our website and enables you to conveniently use the map function. The provider is Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA ("Google").

By visiting the website, Google receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding subpage of our website. Additionally, the data specified in Section 4 of this declaration under "When visiting our website" is transmitted. This occurs regardless of whether Google provides a user account through which you are logged in or whether no user account exists. If you are logged into Google, your data will be directly associated with your account. If you do not wish to have this association with your Google profile, you must log out before activating the button.

Google stores your data as usage profiles, analyzes them, and uses them for advertising, market research, and/or the tailored design of its website. Such analysis is carried out even for users who are not logged in. The legal basis for Google’s processing is Art. 6(1) sentence 1 lit. f GDPR, with Google’s legitimate interests arising from the aforementioned purposes. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, but to exercise this right, you must contact Google.

Further information on the purpose and scope of data collection and processing by the plugin provider can be found in the provider's privacy policies. There, you will also find additional information about your rights in this regard and settings to protect your privacy: http://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy.

 

d) Cookiebot

We use the consent management service Cookiebot, provided by Cybot A/S, Havnegade 39, 1058 Copenhagen, Denmark (Cybot). This allows us to obtain and manage website users' consent for data processing. The processing is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation (Art. 7(1) GDPR) to which we are subject (Art. 6(1) sentence 1 lit. c GDPR). The following data is processed using cookies:

  • Your IP address (the last three digits are set to ‘0’)

  • Date and time of consent

  • Browser information

  • URL from which the consent was sent

  • An anonymous, random, and encrypted key

  • Your end-user consent status as proof of consent

The key and consent status are stored in the browser using the "CookieConsent" cookie for 12 months to maintain your cookie preference for subsequent page requests. The key can be used to verify and track your consent.

If you activate the “bulk consent” service function to enable consent for multiple websites through a single end-user consent, the service also stores a separate, randomly generated, unique ID with your consent. If all of the following criteria are met, this key is stored in the third-party provider’s "CookieConsentBulkTicket" cookie in encrypted form in your browser:

  • You activate the bulk consent function in the service configuration

  • You allow third-party cookies through browser settings

  • You have disabled "Do Not Track" in your browser settings

  • You accept all or at least certain types of cookies when granting consent

Without this processing, the functionality of the website is not guaranteed. Cybot is the recipient of your personal data and acts as a processor on our behalf. Processing takes place within the European Union. Further information on how to object and remove data concerning Cybot can be found here: https://www.cookiebot.com/de/privacy-policy/.

Your personal data is continuously deleted after 12 months or immediately upon termination of the contract between us and Cybot. Please also refer to our general explanations on cookie deletion and deactivation above.

​

e) Tracking Tools

The following tracking measures used by us are carried out based on Art. 6(1) sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. With the tracking measures used, we aim to ensure a demand-oriented design and the continuous optimization of our website. Additionally, we use tracking measures to statistically record the use of our website and evaluate it for the purpose of optimizing our offerings for you. These interests are legitimate within the meaning of the above regulation. The respective data processing purposes and data categories can be found in the relevant tracking tools.

​

(a) Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC (“Google”), based on our legitimate interests (i.e., our interest in the analysis, optimization, and economic operation of our online offering within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. GDPR). Google uses cookies. The information generated by the cookie about the use of the online offering by users is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

Google will use this information on our behalf to evaluate the use of our online offering by users, to compile reports on activities within this online offering, and to provide us with other services related to the use of this online offering and internet usage. Pseudonymous user profiles may be created from the processed data.

We use Google Analytics only with IP anonymization enabled. This means that the user's IP address is shortened by 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 user's browser will not be merged with other Google data. Users can prevent the storage of cookies by configuring their browser software accordingly. Additionally, users can prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and related to their use of the online offering, as well as the processing of these data by Google, by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.

For further information on Google's data usage, settings, and opt-out options, please refer to Google’s privacy policy (https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads) and the settings for displaying advertisements by Google (https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated).

Users' personal data will be deleted or anonymized after 14 months.

You can prevent participation in this tracking process in several ways:

  • By disabling cookies for conversion tracking by setting your browser to block cookies from the domain "www.googleadservices.com" (https://www.google.de/settings/ads). This setting will be deleted if you delete your cookies.

  • By adjusting your browser settings, for example, by refusing to accept cookies altogether, third-party cookies (cookies set by a third party, rather than the actual website you are visiting), or individual cookies, or by deleting them.

For further information on Google's data protection policies, please visit:
http://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy and https://services.google.com/sitestats/de.html. Alternatively, you can visit the website of the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) at http://www.networkadvertising.org.

​

(b) Use of Facebook links

Based on our legitimate interests (i.e., interest in the analysis, optimization, and economic operation of our online presence in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR), we provide a link to our profile on the website facebook.com, which is operated by Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland ("Facebook").

Facebook is certified under the Privacy Shield agreement, which guarantees compliance with European data protection law (https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt0000000GnywAAC&status=Active).

Please note that you use this Facebook page and its functions at your own responsibility. When you visit our Facebook page, Facebook collects, among other things, your IP address as well as other information stored on your PC in the form of cookies. Facebook provides further details on this under the following link: http://de-de.facebook.com/help/pages/insights.

The data collected about you in this context is processed by Facebook Ltd. and may be transferred to countries outside the European Union. The type of information Facebook receives and how it is used is described in general terms in Facebook's data usage policies. There, you can also find information on how to contact Facebook and how to adjust ad settings. The data usage policies are available at: http://de-de.facebook.com/about/privacy. The complete Facebook data policy can be found here: https://de-de.facebook.com/full_data_use_policy.

Facebook does not provide clear and final information about how it uses data from visits to Facebook pages for its own purposes, to what extent activities on the Facebook page are assigned to individual users, how long Facebook stores this data, and whether data from visits to Facebook pages is shared with third parties.

When you access a Facebook page, the IP address assigned to your device is transmitted to Facebook. According to Facebook, this IP address is anonymized (for "German" IP addresses) and deleted after 90 days. Additionally, Facebook stores information about users' devices (e.g., as part of the "login notification" feature); this may allow Facebook to assign IP addresses to individual users.

If you are currently logged into Facebook as a user, a cookie with your Facebook identifier is stored on your device. This enables Facebook to track your visit to this page and how you used it. This applies to all other Facebook pages as well. Through Facebook buttons embedded in websites, Facebook can track your visits to these websites and associate them with your Facebook profile. Based on this data, Facebook can offer you personalized content or advertisements.

If you want to avoid this, you should log out of Facebook, deactivate the "stay logged in" function, delete the cookies stored on your device, and restart your browser. This will remove Facebook-related information that directly identifies you. You can then use our Facebook page without revealing your Facebook identifier. However, if you access interactive features of the page (such as Like, Comment, Share, Messages, etc.), a Facebook login prompt will appear. Once you log in, you will again be identifiable to Facebook as a specific user.

For information on how to manage or delete the data Facebook has about you, please visit the following Facebook support pages: https://de-de.facebook.com/about/privacy.
