Google Analytics and User ID
- 10.1.
- We use Google Analytics, a Google Inc. („Google“) web analysis service. Google uses cookies, text files
that are saved on users' computers and allow the use of our Service to be analyzed. The information
generated on the user's use of our Service by the cookie is generally transferred to a Google server in
the US where it is saved.
- 10.2.
- We also use the function User ID in order to track data on user interaction with our Service. This User
ID is anonymized and encrypted and will be except for its pseudonymous use not be processed with other
data of a user in a way that makes the user identifiable.
- 10.3.
- Google will use this information on our behalf in order to assess users' use of our Service, in order to
compile reports on the activities within our Service and in order to render additional services for us
associated with the use of our Service and Internet use.
- 10.4.
- We only use Google Analytics with activated IP anonymization. This means that Google shortens user
IP addresses within an EU member state or in other contractual states of the Agreement on the European
Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transferred to a Google server in the US
where it is shortened.
- 10.5.
- We use the Analytics features for remarketing, Google Display Network impressions, DoubleClick Campaign
Manager integration and Google Analytics reports on demographics and user interests. You can prevent
Google from using Google Analytics for display ads and customize ads on the Google Display Network at:
https://www.google.com/settings/ads.
- 10.6.

Marketing Services, you can use the settings and opt-out functions provided by Google:
http://www.google.com/ads/preferences.
- 11.
Google Re/Marketing Services
- 11.1.
-
We use the marketing and remarketing services (hereinafter jointly referred to as the „Google
Re/Marketing Services”) provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA
(„Google”).
- 11.2.
- The Google Re/Marketing Services enable us to display ads for and on our Websites and Service in a more
targeted manner so that users are only shown ads which might actually be of interest to them. Where
users are, for example, shown ads for products in which they were interested on other websites, this is
known as „remarketing”. For this purpose, as soon as the user accesses our Websites, or other websites
on which Google Re/Marketing Services have been activated, Google immediately executes a Google code and
so called re/marketing tags (invisible graphics or code, also called Web Beacons) are integrated into
the Website. With the help of these tags, an individual cookie, i.e. a small file, is stored on the
users’ device (comparable technology can be used instead of cookies). The cookies can be set from
various domains, including google.com, doubleclick.net, invitemedia.com, admeld.com,
googlesyndication.com or googleadservices.com. This file keeps a record of which websites the user
visits, what content he/she is interested in and which offers he/she has clicked on, as well as
technical information about the browser and operating system, referring websites, time of access and
other details about the use of the website content. The users’ IP address is also recorded, whereby we,
within the context of Google Analytics, would like to point out that, within member states of the
European Union or in other countries that are party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area, the
IP address is truncated and only transmitted in its entirety to a Google server in the US and truncated
there in exceptional cases. The IP address will not be linked with any of the user’s data from other
services offered by Google. The aforementioned information can also be combined with equivalent
information from other sources. If the user visits other websites afterwards, he/she can only be shown
the ads that directly reflect his/her interests.
- 11.3.
- Within the scope of Google Re/Marketing Services, the users’ data is processed pseudonymously. This
means that Google does not, for example, store and process the users’ name or e-mail address, instead
processing the relevant data on the basis of the cookies within pseudonymous user profiles. In other
words, from Google’s point of view, the ads are managed and displayed for the cookie owner, regardless
of who the cookie owner is, rather than for a specifically identified person. This shall not apply where
the user has expressly permitted Google to process the data without this pseudonymization. The
information collected about the users via „DoubleClick” shall be transmitted to Google and stored on
Google’s servers in the US.
- 11.4.
- The online advertising program „Google AdWords” is just one of the Google Re/Marketing Services used by
us. In the case of Google AdWords, each AdWords customer is given a different „conversion cookie”. This
means that cookies cannot be tracked on the websites of AdWords customers. The information obtained
through the cookies serves to create conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for
conversion tracking. The AdWords customers find out the total number of users who have clicked on their
ad and have been forwarded to a webpage into which a conversion tracking tag has been integrated.
However, they do not receive any information that would allow users to be personally identified.
- 11.5.
- On the basis of Google Re/Marketing Services, we integrate third-party „DoubleClick“ ads. DoubleClick
uses cookies that enable Google and its partner websites to run ads based on users visiting this or
other websites.
- 11.6.
- On the basis of Google Re/Marketing Services, we also integrate third-party „AdSense“ ads. AdSense uses
cookies that enable Google and its partner websites to run ads based on users visiting this or other
websites.
- 11.7.
- With the help of Google optimization services, we also test the user-friendliness and effectiveness of
our Websites, e.g. by carrying out A/B tests, whereby users are shown different versions of Websites.
- 11.8.
- Other Google Re/Marketing Services we use, are the „Campaign Manager” and the „Google Tag Manager”,
which enable us to integrate other Google Analytics and Marketing Services into our Website (e.g.
„AdWords”, „DoubleClick” or „Google Analytics”).
- 11.9.
- You can find further information on Google’s use of data for marketing purposes on the site map:
https://www.google.com/policies/technologies/ads,
Google’s privacy policy can be viewed at
https://www.google.com/policies/privacy.
- 11.10.
- If you wish to object to the collection of data by Google Re/Marketing Services, you can use the
settings and opt-out functions provided by Google: http://www.google.com/ads/preferences.
- 12.

General information on usage of Facebook
- 12.1.
-
If the Service is carried out as a Facebook application and/or if authentication through
Facebook is used, the permission of users is required for us to access their stored data on
Facebook.
- 12.2.
-
Users are expressly referred in the context of the Facebook consent dialog to this data
collection and the data shared by Facebook with us (e.g. public profile, friends list, e-mail
address and "Like" information) through the Service.
- 12.3.
-
We may use the requested data anonymously for statistical purposes. I.e., if we may access the
data on
user's facebook chronic, posts or likes, we may evaluate how often a posting was shared or liked in
order to help us improve our Services and its contents like our Quizzes and personality tests. We
perform the evaluation anonymously, meaning independently of users' Personally Identifiable Data we
received with the consent of the user (e.g. without the Facebook-ID). These evaluations are just for
us
only, without any transfers of this data to third parties.
- 12.4.
-
Users are referred to Facebook’s privacy policy
https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/your-info-on-other
for more information about the consent
process, consent granted and ways of revoking such consent within their Facebook profile.

-
Users have the option in the Facebook application settings to end their use of the Service at any time:
https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=applications.
- 13.
Individual Content Adjustment
- 13.1.
- We use the information we receive on the user in order to adjust our Service and its contents
with user’s demands, expectations or interests, whereby user profiles may be created. For this purpose,
we use the data that we receive on users as described within this Privacy Policy and then analyze it via
algorithmical functions.
- 13.2.
- This processed information includes data we receive from users during the registration procedure
(e.g. a users’ gender, name or country), as well as the data we receive on a user’s use of our Service
(e.g. which parts of our Service are preferably used, recommended, favored or shared with other
users).
- 14.
Use of Facebook Social Plugins
- 14.1.
- Our Service uses social plugins („plugins’) provided by the social network Facebook, which is operated
by Facebook Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA, or if you live in the European Union,
Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Irland („Facebook“). The
plugins are usually identifiable by a Facebook logo (e.g. letter f on blue background or a thumb up
icon). For a full list of all social Plugins please see https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/.
- 14.2.
- When you visit a page of our Service that contains a social plugin, your browser establishes a direct
connection to Facebook servers. Facebook directly transfers the plugin content to your browser that
embeds the latter into the Service, enabling Facebook to receive information about you having accessed
the respective page of our Service. Thus, we have no influence on the data gathered by the plugin and
inform you according to our state of knowledge: The embedded plugins provide Facebook with the
information that you have accessed the corresponding page of our Service. If you are logged into
Facebook, your visit can be assigned to your Facebook account. If you interact with the plugins, for
example by clicking „Like”, or entering a comment, the corresponding information is transmitted from
your browser directly to Facebook and stored by it. Even if you are not logged into Facebook, there is
possibility that the plugins transmit your IP-address to Facebook.
- 14.3.
- For the information on the purpose and scope of data collection and procession by Facebook, as well as
your rights in this respect and settings options for protecting your privacy please visit Facebook’s
privacy policy: https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/.
- 14.4.
- In case you want to opt out of being subject to Facebook's use of your data for marketing purposes
please use Facebook's opt-out settings provided within your user profile:
https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=ads or the
opt-out possibilities on the websites
http://www.aboutads.info/choices or for users from the EU
http://www.youronlinechoices.com. Your choices
are irrespective of platforms and devices and will be considered while using desktop or mobile devices.
- 15.
Facebook Re/Marketing, App-Analytics and Audience Network
- 15.1.

provided by the social network Facebook, which is operated by Facebook Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park,
CA 94025, USA, or if you live in the European Union, Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand
Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Irland („Facebook“). The Facebook Re/Marketing Functions allow us and Facebook
to determine the relevant target audiences, in order to display advertisements (hereinafter referred to
as „Facebook-Ads’) in reference to potential interests of the users who visited our Service, as well as
to users with similar attributes (so called “Lookalike Audiences”). We use the Facebook Re/Marketing
Functions, because we want to display Facebook-Ads only to users, who displayed an interest in our
Service. The Facebook Re/Marketing Functions allow us and Facebook to determine, whether our Ads were
effective and satisfactory for users by being able to comprehend users’ actions, after they were
forwarded to our Service by clicking a Facebook-Ad.
- 15.2.
- When you visit our Service or other websites that are member of Facebook’s Audience Network and display
Ads, that include or use Facebook Re/Marketing Functions, your browser establishes a direct connection
to Facebook servers. Facebook directly transfers the Facebook Re/Marketing Functions content to your
browser which embeds the latter into our Service, enabling Facebook to receive the relevant information
and storing a cookie (or similar device related characteristics, especially for the App Analytics
functions) on your device. The cookie allows Facebook to store the relevant information within your
device and retrieve it for the above-mentioned purposes, whereby user profiles may be created.
- 15.3.
- The data Facebook collects is anonymous to us, thus does not reveal any personally identifiable
information on you. However, Facebook may connect the data with your user profile within its network.
Facebook processes your data in accordance with its privacy policy, therefore you'll get there more
