(1) This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc (‘Google’). Google Analytics uses ‘cookies’, which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyse how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. For the USA, the European Kommission am 10. Juli 2023 ihren Angemessenheitsbeschluss (EU) 2023/1795) accepted. Google LLC is certified in accordance with the EU-US Privacy Framework. Since Google servers are distributed worldwide and a transfer to third countries (for example to Singapore) cannot be completely ruled out, we have also concluded the EU standard contractual clauses with the provider. However, if IP anonymisation is activated on this website, your IP address will first be truncated by Google within member states of the European Union or in other signatory states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. Google will use this information on behalf of the operator of this website to analyse your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide the website operator with other services relating to website activity and internet usage.

(2) The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data. 

(3) You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser, however please note that if you do this you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website. You can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and relating to your use of the website (including your IP address) and from processing this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.

(4) This website uses Google Analytics with the extension ‘_anonymiseIp()’. This means that IP addresses are further processed in abbreviated form so that they cannot be linked to a specific person. If the data collected about you is personally identifiable, it is immediately excluded and the personal data is deleted immediately.

(5) We use Google Analytics to analyse and regularly improve the use of our website. We can use the statistics obtained to improve our offering and make it more interesting for you as a user. In exceptional cases, personal data is transferred to the USA. The legal basis for the use of Google Analytics is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a) GDPR.

Use of Google Adwords Conversion

(1) We use the offer of Google Adwords to draw attention to our attractive offers with the help of advertising media (so-called Google Adwords) on external websites. We can determine how successful the individual advertising measures are in relation to the advertising campaign data. We are interested in showing you adverts that are of interest to you, making our website more interesting for you and achieving a fair calculation of advertising costs.

(2) These adverts are delivered by Google via so-called ‘ad servers’. For this purpose, we use ad server cookies, through which certain parameters for measuring success, such as the display of adverts or clicks by users, can be measured. If you access our website via a Google advert, Google Adwords will store a cookie on your PC. These cookies generally lose their validity after 30 days and are not intended to identify you personally. The unique cookie ID, number of ad impressions per placement (frequency), last impression (relevant for post-view conversions) and opt-out information (marking that the user no longer wishes to be addressed) are usually stored as analysis values for this cookie. 

(3) These cookies enable Google to recognise your internet browser. If a user visits certain pages of an Adwords customer's website and the cookie stored on their computer has not yet expired, Google and the customer can recognise that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page. A different cookie is assigned to each Adwords customer. Cookies can therefore not be tracked via the websites of Adwords customers. We ourselves do not collect and process any personal data in the aforementioned advertising measures. We only receive statistical analyses from Google. These analyses enable us to recognise which of the advertising measures used are particularly effective. We do not receive any further data from the use of the advertising material; in particular, we cannot identify users on the basis of this information. 

(4) Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection with the Google server. We have no influence on the scope and further use of the data collected by Google through the use of this tool and therefore inform you according to our level of knowledge: Through the integration of AdWords Conversion, Google receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding part of our website or clicked on an advert from us. If you are registered with a Google service, Google can assign the visit to your account. Even if you are not registered with Google or have not logged in, it is possible that the provider will find out your IP address and save it. 

(5) You can prevent participation in this tracking process in various ways: 

a) by setting your browser software accordingly; in particular, the suppression of third-party cookies means that you will not receive any adverts from third-party providers; 

b) by deactivating cookies for conversion tracking by setting your browser to block cookies from the domain ‘www.googleadservices.com’, whereby this setting will be deleted if you delete your cookies;

c) by deactivating the interest-based adverts of providers that are part of the ‘About Ads’ self-regulation campaign via the link  https://www.aboutads.info/choices, whereby this setting is deleted when you delete your cookies;

d) by permanently deactivating cookies in your Firefox, Internet Explorer or Google Chrome browsers under the link https://www.google.de/settings/ads
We would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all the functions of this website to their full extent.

(6) The legal basis for the processing of your data is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a) GDPR. Further information on data protection at Google can be found here: https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy and https://services.google.com/sitestats/de.html. Alternatively, you can visit the website of the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) at https://www.networkadvertising.org.


Remarketing

In addition to Adwords Conversion, we use the Google Remarketing application. This is a process with which we would like to address you again. This application enables our adverts to be displayed to you when you continue to use the internet after visiting our website. This is done by means of cookies stored in your browser, which are used by Google to record and evaluate your user behaviour when you visit various websites. This enables Google to recognise your previous visit to our website. According to its own statements, Google does not merge the data collected in the context of remarketing with your personal data, which may be stored by Google. In particular, according to Google, pseudonymisation is used for remarketing. The legal basis for the processing of your data is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a) GDPR.

Facebook pixel

Our website uses the visitor action pixel from Facebook, Facebook Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025 to measure conversions.
This allows the behavior of site visitors to be tracked after they have been redirected to the provider's website by clicking on a Facebook ad. This allows the effectiveness of Facebook advertisements to be evaluated for statistical and market research purposes and future advertising measures to be optimized.
The data collected is anonymous for us as the operator of this website; we cannot draw any conclusions about the identity of the users. However, the data is stored and processed by Facebook so that a connection to the respective user profile is possible and Facebook can use the data for its own advertising purposes in accordance with the Facebook data usage guidelines. This allows Facebook to enable the placement of advertisements on Facebook pages as well as outside of Facebook. As the site operator, we cannot influence this use of data.

Eila also has no further effective control options in this regard. What information YouTube receives and how it is used is described in general terms in its data policy. There you will also find information about contact options for YouTube and the setting options for advertisements. YouTube's data policy is available at the following link: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de&gl=de.

On the one hand, YouTube processes your voluntarily entered data such as name and username, email address, telephone number or the contacts in your address book when you upload or synchronize it. On the other hand, YouTube also evaluates the content you share to determine what topics you are interested in, processes messages that you send directly to other users, and can determine your location based on GPS data, wireless network information or your IP address in order to send you advertising or other content.

YouTube analysis tools are used for evaluation. eila has no influence on the use of such tools by YouTube and was not informed of such potential use. If tools of this type are used by YouTube for eila's account, eila has neither commissioned nor approved this or supported it in any way. The data obtained by eila during the analysis is also not made available. Only certain, non-personal information about the activities, such as the number of profile or like clicks resulting from a specific activity, can be viewed by eila via the YouTube account. Furthermore, eila has no way of preventing or stopping the use of such tools.
In addition, YouTube also receives information when you view content, for example, even if you have not created a YouTube account. Such data, known as “log files,” typically includes the IP address, browser type, operating system, information about previously visited websites, your location, your mobile provider, the device you use (including device ID and application ID), as well as information about search terms you use and functions contained in cookies.

Responsibility of Eila
In addition, eila is also solely responsible for certain data processing. To offer our information service, we process the following data for communication with YouTube users:

• User interactions (postings, likes, viewing a video, etc.);
• Profile name and data provided by the user in the conversation, for example for processing service requests; and
• Statistical data on user interactions in aggregated form, i.e. h. without personal reference for eila (e.g. number of impressions of a video, number of interactions, number of detail extensions, number of likes and dis-likes).

The processing is carried out for the purpose of answering your inquiries (if you have made a request to us) or communicating with you and publishing information about eila events, products and services. The legal basis for processing for the purpose of answering inquiries that serve to conclude a future contract and are initiated by you is Article 6 Paragraph 1 Sentence 1 Letter b) GDPR and in other cases, i.e. general inquiries, Article 6 Paragraph 1 Clause 1 Letter f) GDPR.
We would like to point out that data from the collection phase will also be passed on to locations in the USA and therefore outside the European Union. So far If personal data is transferred to Google's servers in the USA and stored and further processed there, Google is certified under the EU Commission's adequacy decision for data transfers to the USA, the Data Privacy Framework (Implementing Decision (EU) 2023/1795 of July 10, 2023), which allows corresponding data transfers in accordance with this adequacy decision.
The legitimate interest lies in the effective provision of information to users, customers and interested parties and the communication with these people as well as the external representation of eila.

You can find this data protection declaration in the currently valid version within our YouTube profile under “About” and at the end of the website under the “Links” section.

If you interact with us publicly, for example by leaving a comment or “liking” a video, this data will remain publicly available on the site until it is deleted by us or you. If legal retention requirements require longer storage, your data will only be stored for this purpose and blocked for other purposes.
To exercise your right to object to us, please contact us either by email at datenschutz@eila.de or at the address mentioned above. Address by post or telephone. We will then process your request immediately.
The provision of your data is voluntary. However, visiting our profile is not possible without eila and YouTube processing personal data under their own, separate responsibility.
