j. If you allow the use of cookies/identifiers and analytics tools in your browser
We use cookies/identifiers and analytics tools to provide our website and Along. Some providers we use also process your personal data outside the EU/EEA (see the section "Data transfer to third countries" below).
So-called "cookies" are used on our websites, including within Along.
Cookies are data records that are stored by a web server on the end device (e.g. computer, smartphone, tablet) of the user. When our website is called up again with the same end device, these are sent back either to our website ("first party cookie") or to another website to which the cookie belongs ("third party cookie").
(1) Legal basis
The legal basis for the use of technically necessary cookies/identifiers is our legitimate interest. The storage of information in your terminal equipment or the access to information already stored in your terminal equipment is absolutely necessary so that we can provide the telemedia service expressly requested by you as a user (Section 25 para. 2 No. 2 TTDSG).
Otherwise, the legal basis in each case is generally your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR; § 25 para. 1 TTDSG), if no specific legal basis is mentioned below.
(2) Withdrawal of consent and "Do Not Track" function
You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future, e.g. by deleting cookies set via the browser settings of your end device. Please note that for technical reasons, this procedure only applies to the specific end device used.
You can also prevent the collection as well as the processing of your personal data by preventing third-party cookies from being stored on your terminal device, by using the "Do Not Track" function of a supporting browser, by deactivating the execution of script code in your browser or by installing a script blocker such as NoScript (https://noscript.net/) in your browser.
Turning off the cookie function in your browser does not restrict the use of our websites and Along in principle.
(3) Use of tracking cookies for advertising purposes
This website works together with external performance advertising networks to display and optimize its own advertisements. As part of the tracking services, cookies are stored for the documentation of transactions on end devices of users who visit or use websites or other online offers of its customers. These cookies are used solely for the purpose of correctly assigning the success of an advertising medium and the corresponding billing within the advertising network. Personal data is not collected, processed or used in this context. Only the information about when a particular advertising medium was clicked on by an end device is placed in a cookie. The external partners used are listed below with a link to their data protection information.
(4) Use of Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics on our websites, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA ("Google").
Google Analytics uses "cookies", which are text files placed on your end device, to help the website analyze how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, by activating IP anonymization, your IP address will be truncated beforehand 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 transferred to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On our behalf, Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the websites, compiling reports on website activity and providing us 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 data from Google.
You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser, however please note that if you do this you may not be able to use the full functionality of our website. You can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) to Google and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under the following link:
http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de
You can prevent the collection of your data by Google Analytics by clicking on the following link. An opt-out cookie will be set that prevents the collection of your data during future visits to this website: Disable Google Analytics
We continue to use Google Analytics to analyze data from Double-Click-Cookie and also AdWords for statistical purposes. If you do not wish to do this, you can disable
this via the Ads Preferences Manager

(5) Use of Google Tag Manager
We use the Google Tag Manager of Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA ("Google").
Google Tag Manager allows tags from Google and third-party services to be managed and embedded in a bundle on an online presence. Tags are small code elements on an online presence that are used, among other things, to measure visitor numbers and behavior, to track the impact of online advertising and social channels, to use remarketing and targeting, and to test and optimize online presences. When a user visits the online presence, the current tag configuration is sent to the user's browser. It contains instructions on which tags to trigger. Google Tag Manager takes care of triggering other tags, which in turn may collect data. Information on this can be found in the passages on the use of the corresponding services in this privacy policy. Google Tag Manager does not access this data.
For more information about Google Tag Manager, visit
https://www.google.com/intl/de/tagmanager/faq.html
and Google's privacy policy at
https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de.
You can prevent the collection of the data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the online presence (including your IP address) to Google and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at the following link:
https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de
You can deactivate the use of your personal data by Google using the following link:

(6) Use of June
We use the web analytics service June, 1111B S Governors Ave Suite 6491 Dover, DE 19904. Among other things, Junel uses cookies, i.e. small text files that are stored locally in the cache of your web browser on your terminal device and that enable an analysis of your use of our online presence. This allows personal data to be stored and analyzed, in particular the user's activity (especially which pages have been visited and which elements have been clicked on), device and browser information and a tracking code (pseudonymized user ID). The information collected in this way is transmitted by June to a server within the EU and stored there anonymously. For more information about the processing of data by June, click here:
https://help.june.so/en/articles/6823521-privacy-policy
3. How long do we store your personal data?
We delete your personal data if the respective purpose of storage no longer applies and no statutory provision requires retention (e.g. a retention obligation under the German Fiscal Code and/or the German Commercial Code). If deletion is not possible in an individual case, processing will be restricted.
A storage period may be based in particular on the statutory limitation periods, e.g. according to the German Civil Code.
4. What are your data subject rights?
Please contact us at the above contact details to exercise your rights and to withdraw your consent.
a) You have the right to request information about all personal data we process about you at any time.
b) If your personal data is incorrect or incomplete, you have the right to have it corrected and completed.
c) You may request the deletion of your personal data at any time, unless we are legally obliged or entitled to continue processing your data.
d) If the legal requirements are met, you may request restriction of the processing of your personal data.
e) You have the right to object to processing insofar as the data processing is carried out for the purpose of direct marketing or profiling. If the processing is carried out on the basis of a balancing of interests, you may object to the processing by stating the reasons arising from your particular situation.
f) If the data processing is carried out on the basis of your consent or within the framework of a contract, you have a right to the transfer of the data provided by you, provided that this does not affect the rights and freedoms of other persons.
g) If we process your data on the basis of a declaration of consent, you have the right to revoke this consent at any time with effect for the future. The processing carried out before a revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.
h) You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority at any time if you believe that data processing has been carried out in breach of applicable law.
5. In what context do we create automatic profiles?
No automatic profiles are created.
6. Data transfer to third countries
In some cases, personal data will be transferred to recipients in third countries (see the respective note within our privacy notices). Third countries are countries outside the EU and outside the EEA. These third countries also include the USA.
In the USA, there is no comparable level of data protection as in Europe. In particular, it is possible that government agencies may access personal data without us or you knowing about it. Legal prosecution may not be promising.
The legal basis for such data transfer is generally your consent (Art. 49 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a) GDPR) or a respective contract performance (Art. 49 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b) GDPR).
7. Data security
We take appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect the personal data we process against accidental or intentional manipulation, loss, destruction or against unauthorized access.
We use encryption methods, for example. You can see this, for example, in the address bar of your Internet browser ("https://").
