Notes on Data Processing in Connection with Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited. If the controller for data processing on this website is located outside the European Economic Area or Switzerland, Google Analytics data processing is carried out by Google LLC. Google LLC and Google Ireland Limited are hereinafter collectively referred to as “Google”.

When using Google Analytics, the technical data processing is provided by Jimdo. In this respect, reference is made to Jimdo’s privacy notices. Jimdo GmbH (Jimdo GmbH, Stresemannstraße 375, 22761 Hamburg, [email protected]) and the operator of this website are jointly responsible for the data processing related to Google Analytics on this website.

Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies”, which are text files placed on your device. These enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server and stored there.

On this website, Google Analytics is used exclusively with the extension “_anonymizeIp()”. This extension ensures anonymization of the IP address by truncation and excludes direct identifiability of individuals. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area prior to transmission. The IP address transmitted by the browser is not merged with other Google data.

On behalf of Jimdo and the website operator, Google will use the information collected to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity, and to provide other services related to website and internet usage to Jimdo and the website operator (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). The legitimate interest in data processing lies in the optimization of this website, the analysis of website usage, and the adaptation of content, enabled by Jimdo’s statistics functions. Users’ interests are sufficiently safeguarded through pseudonymization.

Google is certified under the so-called Privacy Shield (list entry here) and thereby guarantees an adequate level of data protection. Data sent and linked to cookies, user identifiers (e.g. User-ID) or advertising IDs is automatically deleted after 50 months. Data whose retention period has expired is deleted automatically once a month.

You can prevent Google Analytics from collecting data by adjusting the cookie settings for this website. You may also object at any time to the collection and storage of the IP address and data generated by cookies, with effect for the future. The corresponding browser plugin can be downloaded and installed via the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

In particular, these include the right to access, rectification, data portability, erasure, and – in certain cases – the right to object to processing.
