We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to provide our services, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes and enforce our policies.

Basis for data acquisition
The processing of your personal data (i.e., any data that can reasonably be used to identify you; "personal data") is necessary to fulfil our contractual obligations to you and to enable us to provide you with our services, to protect our legitimate interests and to comply with legal and financial regulatory obligations to which we are subject.

By using this website, you consent to the collection, storage, use, disclosure and other uses of your personal information as described in this Privacy Policy.

Please read the privacy policy carefully before making any decisions.
What data is collected?
We collect two types of data and information from users.

The first category includes non-identifying and non-identifiable user information provided or collected through use of the Site ("Non-Personal Information"). We do not know the identity of the user from whom non-personal data was collected. Non-personal information that may be collected includes aggregated usage and technical data provided by your device, including certain information regarding software and hardware (e.g., browser and operating system used on the device, language setting, access time, etc.). We use this information to improve the functionality of our website. We may also collect information about your activity on the website (e.g. pages viewed, surfing behaviour, clicks, actions, etc.).

The second category includes personal data, i.e. data that can identify an individual or can be identified by appropriate measures. Such data includes:
Device data: We collect personal data from your device. Such information includes geolocation data, IP address, unique identifiers (e.g., MAC address and UUID), and other information that results from your activity on the Site.
How do we receive data about you?
We obtain your personal data from various sources:
You provide us with such data voluntarily, for example when registering on our website.
We receive such data when you use our website or access it in connection with one of our services.
We receive such data from other providers, services and from public registers (for example from data traffic analysis providers).

How will the data be used? To whom will the data be passed on?
We do not pass on user data to third parties.

In addition to the purposes set forth in this Privacy Policy, we may share personal information with our trusted third party service providers located in different jurisdictions around the world for the following reasons:
Hosting and operation of our website

A "cookie" is a small data package that is assigned to your device when you visit a website from that website. Cookies are useful and can be used for various purposes. This includes, for example, easier navigation between different pages, automatic activation of certain functions, saving your settings and optimized access to our services. The use of cookies also enables us to display relevant advertising tailored to your interests and to collect statistical information about your use of our services.

This website uses the following types of cookies:

a. "Session cookies" which ensure normal system use. Session cookies are only stored for a limited time during a session and are deleted from your device when you close your browser.

b. "Permanent cookies", which are only read by the website and are not deleted when the browser window is closed, but are stored on your computer for a certain period of time. This type of cookie enables us to identify you on your next visit and, for example, to save your settings.

c. "Third-party cookies" set by other online services that are represented with their own content on the page you visit. These can be, for example, external web analytics companies that record and analyse access to our website.

The tool we use is based on the technology of Snowplow Analytics . The information we collect on the use of our website includes, for example, how often users visit the website or which areas are visited. The tool we use does not collect any personal data and is used by our web hosting provider and service provider exclusively to improve their own offer.
Use of script libraries (Google Web Fonts)
To ensure that our content is displayed correctly and graphically appealing in any browser, we use script and font libraries such as Google Web Fonts (https://www.google.com/webfonts) for this website. Google Web Fonts are transferred to your browser's cache, so they only need to be loaded once. If your browser does not support Google Web Fonts or denies access, content will be displayed in a default font.
When calling script or font libraries, a connection to the library operator is automatically established. Theoretically, there is the possibility for this operator to collect data. It is currently not known whether and for what purpose the operators of the respective libraries actually collect data.

Collection of data by third parties
This policy covers only the use and disclosure of information that we collect from you. If you publish data on other websites or disclose data to third parties on the Internet, other regulations may apply. You should therefore always read the general terms and conditions and data protection regulations carefully when you disclose data.

This Privacy Policy does not apply to the business practices of companies that are not owned or controlled by us, or to anyone other than our employees and associates, including third parties to whom we disclose such information as described in this Privacy Policy.
How do we protect your data?
We implement the security measures on the website with great care and protect your data. We use industry standard procedures and policies to ensure the protection of the information we collect and store and to prevent the unauthorized use of such information. We also require third parties to comply with similar security requirements in accordance with this Privacy Policy. Although we take reasonable steps to protect information, we cannot be held responsible for the actions of those who have gained unauthorized access to our website or misuse it, and we make no express or implied warranty that we will be able to prevent such access.
Transfer of data outside the European Economic Area
Please note that some recipients may not be located in the European Economic Area. If this is the case, we will only transfer your data to countries approved by the European Commission with an adequate level of data protection or by legal agreement to ensure an adequate level of data protection.
Advertising
 When you access our Web site, we may serve ads using third-party ad serving technology. This technology uses your usage data of the services (e.g. by placing third-party cookies in your web browser) to serve ads.

You can opt out of many third-party ad networks, including networks operated by members of the Network Advertising Initiative ("NAI") and the Digital Advertising Alliance ("DAA"). For information about the practices of NAI and DAA members, your options regarding the use of such information by these companies, and how to opt out of third-party ad networks operated by NAI and DAA members, please visit their respective websites: http://optout.networkadvertising.org/#!/ and http://optout.aboutads.info/#!/.
Marketing
We may use your personal data such as your name, e-mail address, telephone number, etc. ourselves or forward it to an external subcontractor in order to provide you with advertising material relating to our services that may interest you.  

We respect your right to privacy. Therefore, these marketing materials always give you the opportunity to unsubscribe from further mailings. When you unsubscribe, your email address or phone number will be removed from our marketing distribution lists.
Amazon partner programme
The operators of this website participate in the Amazon EU partners’ programme. Amazon integrates ads and links to the German Amazon website – Amazon.de – into our website, which allows us to generate earnings in the form of advertising cost reimbursements. Amazon uses cookies for this programme to be able to determine the source of orders placed. This allows Amazon to determine that you have clicked the partner link on our website.
The archiving of “Amazon cookies” is based on Art. 6 lit. f GDPR. Based on the aforementioned regulation, the website operator has a legitimate interest to do this since the determination of the website operator’s affiliate earnings is contingent upon the placement of cookies.
For more information on Amazon’s data usage, please consult Amazon’s Data Privacy Declaration under the following link: https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html/ref=footer_privacy?ie=UTF8&nodeId=468496.
Please note that even after you unsubscribe from receiving our marketing emails, we will continue to send you emails with important information that do not include an unsubscribe option. This includes maintenance messages or administrative notifications.
Company Transaction
We may disclose information in the event of a business transaction transaction (e.g., a sale of substantial parts of a business, merger, consolidation or asset sale). If any of the above occurs, the purchaser or the relevant company will assume the rights and obligations set forth in this Privacy Policy.
Minors
The protection of children's data is particularly important in the online environment. The website is not designed for and is not directed at children. The use of our services by minors is only permitted with the prior consent or authorization of a parent or guardian. We do not knowingly collect personal data from minors. If a parent or guardian becomes aware that his or her child has provided us with personal information without their consent, he or she may contact us at rieckmann@gdma.eu.
