Privacy Policy

(As of 05/2022)

Here we inform you about the processing of personal data when using our online presences. This online privacy policy therefore applies to our website www.kanalreiniger.eu as well as to our social media profiles.

Personal data is all data that can be obtained personally, i.e. Name, address, e-mail, IP address or user behavior.

With regard to the terms used, such as "processing," "controller" or "data subject," reference is made to the definitions in Art. 4 GDPR. In particular, "Personal Data" means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (the "data subject" or the "data subject"); a natural person who identifies directly or indirectly, in particular by assigning an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identification or one or more specific characteristics is considered to be identifiable; which are an expression of the physical, physiological, genetic, psychological, economic, cultural or social identity of this natural person (Art. 4 No. 1 GDPR).

"Processing" means any operation carried out with or without the help of automated procedures or any such series of operations related to personal data such as collection, collection, collection, organization, ordering, storage, adaptation or modification, reading, querying, use, disclosure through transmission, dissemination or any other form of provision, matching or linking, restriction, deletion or destruction (Art. 4 No. 2 GDPR).

"Responsible" (or "responsible body") is the natural or legal person, authority, institution or other body that decides alone or together with others on the purposes and means of processing personal data (Art. 4 No. 7 GDPR)

"processor" means a natural or legal person, authority, entity or other entity that processes personal data on behalf of the controller (Art. 4 No. 8 GDPR).

In particular, the terms "processing" and "personal data" are very far-reaching, so that almost every handling of data can be understood as it.

16. How and why do we use Google Analytics?

On our website we use the web analysis service Google Analytics (provider: Google Ireland Ltd., Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin, 4 Ireland), now part of Google Ad Manager. We use this tool to analyze and continuously improve the use of our website. The legal basis for the use of Google Analytics is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR.

Google Analytics uses so-called cookies, i.e. mostly text files that are stored on your device and that enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of our website is usually transmitted to Google's servers in the USA and stored there. However, due to the activation of IP anonymization on our websites by means of the extension "_anonymizeIp () " extension, your IP address will be shortened by Google within the member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases, the full IP address is transmitted to the Google servers in the USA and shortened there.

On our behalf, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the Internet pages, to compile reports on website activities and to provide other services related to website usage and Internet use to us. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not merged with other data from Google.

You can prevent the storage of cookies by setting your browser accordingly; however, we would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to fully use all functions of our website. You can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of our website (including your IP address) to Google and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser addon available at the following link: tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

In addition, or as an alternative to the browser addon, you can prevent collection by Google Analytics by clicking on the following link: javascript:gaOptout (disable Google Analytics). This sets an opt-out cookie that prevents the collection of your data during future visits to our website as long as the cookie remains on your computer.

17. How and why do we use Google Ads (formerly AdWords)?

On our website we use the conversion tracking of Google (provider: Google Ireland Ltd., Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin, 4 Ireland), now part of Google Ads. If you have reached our website by clicking on a advertisement placed by Google, a so-called cookie will be set on your device by Google Ads. These cookies have a validity period of 30 days and are not for personal identification. If you visit certain subpages of our online presence, and the cookie is still valid, we and Google may recognize that you have clicked on the ad and have been redirected to the relevant subpage. Each Ads customer receives a different cookie. Cookies cannot therefore be tracked via the websites of Ads customers.

The information obtained through conversion cookies is used to create conversion statistics for Ads customers who have opted for conversion tracking. These customers are given the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a site with a conversion tracking tag. However, no information is transmitted with which users can be personally identified. The legal basis for the use of Google Ads is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR.

For more information about and how to handle cookies, please read the relevant section in this Privacy Policy.

If you do not want to participate in the tracking, you can refuse the necessary setting of a cookie, e.g. by means of a browser setting that generally disables the automatic setting of cookies or causes the blocking of cookies from the domain googleleadservices.com.

You may not delete the opt-out cookies as long as you do not want data collection. If this or all cookies are deleted, you must set the opt-out cookie again.

18. How and why do we use Google Maps?

We use content from Google Maps on our website to display maps and create travel plans (providers: Google Ireland Ltd., Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin, 4, Ireland). According to the provider, its servers are located in different countries around the world, so that data transmission to third countries cannot be ruled out. The legal basis for the use of Google Maps is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR.

By visiting our website, Google receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding subpage of our online presence. In addition, certain data is transmitted, e.g. your IP address. This is done regardless of whether you have a Google user account or are logged in there. If you are logged in to your Google user account, your data will be assigned directly to your account. If you do not want such an assignment, you must log out of your Google user account. Google processes your data for the purposes of advertising, market research and/or needs-based design of its websites. Such an evaluation takes place in particular (even for non-logged-in users) for the provision of needs-based advertising and to inform other users about your activities on our website. Google also processes your personal data in the USA.

You have a right to object to this type of data processing. If you wish to exercise your right of objection, please contact Google directly. The terms of use for Google Maps can be found under "Terms of Use for Google Maps" (www.google.com/intl/de_de/help/terms_maps.html).
