Scope

This Data Protection Declaration informs users about the nature, scope, and purpose of the collection and use of personal data by the responsible provider CXMXO UG, Hansaring 1, 50670 Cologne, office@cxmxo.com, 0049 (0) 221 165 323 79 on the following website (hereinafter referred to as “Offer”).

The legal basis for data protection can be found in the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) and the Telemedia Act (TMG).

Access Data/ Server Log Files

The provider (or its web hosting provider) collects data on every access to the offer (so-called server log files). The access data includes:

Name of the accessed website, file, date and time of access, amount of data transferred, notification of successful access, type and version of the browser, the user’s operating system, referrer URL (the previously visited page), IP address, and the requesting provider.

The provider uses the log data only for statistical evaluations for the purpose of operating, security, and optimizing the offer. However, the provider reserves the right to subsequently check the log data if there is a concrete suspicion of illegal use based on specific indications.

Contact

When contacting the provider (e.g., via contact form or email), the user’s information is stored for the purpose of processing the request and in case follow-up questions arise.

Comments and Contributions

When users leave comments on the blog or other contributions, their IP addresses are stored. This is done for the security of the provider in case someone writes illegal content in comments and contributions (insults, prohibited political propaganda, etc.). In this case, the provider may be held responsible for the comment or contribution and is therefore interested in the identity of the author.

Comment Subscriptions

Subsequent comments can be subscribed to by users. Users will receive a confirmation email to verify that they are the owner of the provided email address. Users can unsubscribe from ongoing comment subscriptions at any time. The confirmation email will contain instructions for this purpose.

Newsletter

With the newsletter, we inform you about us and our offers.

If you wish to receive the newsletter, we require a valid email address from you, as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the specified email address or that the owner agrees to receive the newsletter. No further data is collected. This data is used exclusively for sending the newsletter and will not be disclosed to third parties.

By registering for the newsletter, we will store your IP address and the date of registration. This storage is solely for the purpose of providing evidence in case a third party misuses an email address and subscribes to the newsletter without the knowledge of the rightful owner.

You can revoke your consent to the storage of data, the email address, and its use for sending the newsletter at any time. The revocation can be made via a link in the newsletters themselves, in your profile area, or by sending a message to the contact options provided above.

Integration of Third-Party Services and Content

It may happen that third-party content, such as videos from YouTube, maps from Google Maps, RSS feeds, or graphics from other websites, is integrated within this online offering. This always presupposes that the providers of this content (hereinafter referred to as “third-party providers”) perceive the IP address of the users. Without the IP address, they would not be able to send the content to the user’s browser. The IP address is therefore necessary for the presentation of this content. We make every effort to use only content whose respective providers use the IP address solely for the delivery of the content. However, we have no influence if the third-party providers store the IP address, e.g., for statistical purposes. As far as we are aware of this, we will inform users about it.

Cookies

Cookies are small files that allow specific, device-related information to be stored on the user’s access device (PC, smartphone, etc.). They serve, on the one hand, to enhance the user-friendliness of websites and, thus, the users (e.g., storing login data). On the other hand, they serve to capture statistical data on website usage and to analyze them for the purpose of improving the offer. Users can influence the use of cookies. Most browsers have an option to restrict or completely prevent the storage of cookies. However, it is pointed out that the use and, in particular, the user comfort without cookies may be limited.

You can manage many online advertising cookies from companies via the US website http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or the EU website http://www.youronlinechoices.com/uk/your-ad-choices/.

Registration Function

The data entered during registration will be used for the purpose of using the service. Users can be informed via email about information relevant to the service or registration, such as changes to the scope of the offer or technical circumstances. The collected data is visible in the input form during registration and includes first name, last name, company name, phone number, and email address.

Google Analytics

This service uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies,” which are text files that are stored on users’ computers and enable an analysis of the use of the website by them. The information generated by the cookie about the use of this website by users is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

If IP anonymization is activated on this website, the IP address of users will be shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area before. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. IP anonymization is active on this website. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate the use of the website by users, to compile reports on website activities, and to provide other services related to website usage and internet usage to the website operator.

The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data. Users can prevent the storage of cookies by setting their browser software accordingly; however, this offer notifies users that in this case, they may not be able to use all functions of this website to their full extent. Users can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and relating to their use of the website (including their IP address) and from processing this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.

For more information on Google’s data usage for advertising purposes, settings, and opt-out options, please visit Google’s websites: https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/partners/ (“Data Usage by Google When You Use Websites or Apps of Our Partners”), http://www.google.com/policies/technologies/ads (“Data Usage for Advertising Purposes”), http://www.google.de/settings/ads (“Manage Information Used by Google to Show You Ads”), and http://www.google.com/ads/preferences/ (“Determine What Advertising Google Shows You”).

Alternatively, for browser add-ons or within browsers on mobile devices, please click this link to prevent Google Analytics from collecting data on this website in the future. An opt-out cookie will be stored on your device. If you delete your cookies, you will need to click this link again.

Use of Facebook Social Plugins

This service uses social plugins (“plugins”) of the social network facebook.com, which is operated by Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland (“Facebook”). The plugins are recognizable by one of the Facebook logos (white “f” on a blue tile, the terms “Like,” “Like,” or a “thumbs up” sign) or are marked with the addition “Facebook Social Plugin.” The list and appearance of Facebook Social Plugins can be viewed here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/.

When a user visits a page of this service that contains such a plugin, the user’s browser establishes a direct connection to Facebook’s servers. The content of the plugin is transmitted directly from Facebook to your browser and integrated into the website. The provider therefore has no influence on the extent of the data that Facebook collects using this plugin and informs users according to its knowledge:

By integrating the plugins, Facebook receives the information that a user has accessed the corresponding page of the offer. If the user is logged in to Facebook, Facebook can assign the visit to their Facebook account. When users interact with the plugins, for example by pressing the Like button or leaving a comment, the corresponding information is transmitted directly from your browser to Facebook and stored there. Even if a user is not a member of Facebook, there is still the possibility that Facebook will obtain and store their IP address. According to Facebook, only an anonymized IP address is stored in Germany.

For the purpose and scope of data collection and the further processing and use of data by Facebook, as well as your rights and settings options for protecting your privacy, please refer to Facebook’s data protection information: https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/.

If a user is a Facebook member and does not want Facebook to collect data about them through this service and link it to their Facebook member data, they must log out of Facebook before visiting the website. Further settings and objections to the use of data for advertising purposes can be made within the Facebook profile settings: https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=ads.

+1 Button by Google+

This service uses the “+1” button of the social network Google Plus, which is operated by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, United States (“Google”). The button is recognizable by the “+1” sign on a white or colored background.

When a user visits a page of this service that contains such a button, the browser establishes a direct connection to Google’s servers. The content of the “+1” button is transmitted directly from Google to the user’s browser and integrated into the website. The provider has no influence on the extent of the data that Google collects with the button. According to Google, no personal data is collected without clicking the button. Only for logged-in members, such data, including the IP address, is collected and processed.

For the purpose and scope of data collection and the further processing and use of data by Google, as well as your rights and settings options for protecting your privacy, users can refer to Google’s privacy policy regarding the “+1” button: http://www.google.com/intl/de/+/policy/+1button.html and the FAQ: http://www.google.com/intl/de/+1/button/.

X / Twitter

This service uses website elements (https://dev.twitter.com/web/overview), such as buttons or embedded content from the Twitter service, offered by Twitter Inc., 795 Folsom St., Suite 600, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA. With the help of these website elements, it is possible, for example, to share a post or page of this service on Twitter or to follow the provider on Twitter. In addition, individual tweets can be embedded in the website.

When a user visits a page of this website that contains such a website element, their browser establishes a direct connection to Twitter’s servers. The content of the website element is transmitted directly from Twitter to the user’s browser. The provider has no influence on the extent of the data that Twitter collects using these website elements and informs users to the best of its knowledge. According to this, only the user’s IP address and the URL of the respective website are transmitted when the button is clicked, but not used for other purposes than displaying the website element.

For more information, please refer to Twitter’s privacy policy at http://twitter.com/privacy.

Google AdSense

This service uses Google AdSense, a service for integrating advertisements provided by Google Inc. (“Google”). Google AdSense uses so-called “cookies,” which are text files that are stored on users’ computers and enable an analysis of the use of the website. Google AdSense also uses so-called web beacons (invisible graphics). Through these web beacons, information such as visitor traffic on the pages of this service can be evaluated.

The information generated by cookies and web beacons about the use of this website (including the user’s IP address) and the delivery of advertising formats is transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. This information may be passed on by Google to contractual partners of Google. However, Google will not merge your IP address with other data stored by you.

Users can prevent the installation of cookies by adjusting their browser software accordingly. However, the provider informs users that in this case, they may not be able to use all functions of this service to their full extent. By using this website, users consent to the processing of data about them by Google in the manner and for the purposes set out above.

Amazon Partner Program
