Data Privacy Agreement

internetwarriors GmbH takes the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in compliance with the legal data protection regulations as well as with this data protection declaration.

The use of our website is generally possible without providing personal data. If personal data (such as name, address or e-mail addresses) is collected on our pages, this is always done on a voluntary basis. This data will not be passed on to third parties without your explicit consent.

We would like to point out that data transfer on the Internet (e.g. communication by e-mail) can have security gaps. A complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

Protection of Person-Related Data

Person-related data are among other: things names, email addresses, or telephone numbers, which allow conclusions to a natural person. This data is only collected by us if this is legally permitted or if the data collection by the persons is expressly provided.

IP anonymisation for Google Analytics has been activated on this website to protect your personal data. If IP anonymisation is activated, your IP address will be reduced by Google within member states of the European Union or in other signatory states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before it is transmitted to a server.

Only in very exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. The IP address transmitted by your browser in the context of Google Analytics is not merged with other Google data.

If we have other personal data of our website users, we will not merge them with website tracking data or other non-personal data.

Leaving a Comment

If you want to leave a comment within our blog we collect personal data (e.g. name, e-mail). We will only store and publish your data to the extent that you have provided it to us.

When a comment is published, the email address you provide is stored in our CMS system, but not published. Your name will be published unless you have written under an alias.

Getting in Touch

When contacting us via the contact form on our website or by email, your data will be stored in our CMS system to process your request. It is your free decision whether you provide us with this data. Currently, the contact form is not encrypted.

Therefore, we would like to expressly point out that unencrypted data can be read by third parties. However, without this information we cannot fulfill your contact request. By filling out the contact form and sending it to us, you expressly consent to the data processing described above.

Newsletter and Whitepaper

If you would like to receive our newsletter or download one of our white papers, we require an e-mail address from you as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the e-mail address provided and that you agree to receive the newsletter or white paper. Further data will not be collected. We use these data exclusively for the dispatch of the requested information and do not pass them on to third parties.

You can withdraw your consent to the storage of data, such as the e-mail address and its use for sending the newsletter at any time, for example via the “Unsubscribe” link in the newsletter.

The data of unsubscribers will be anonymized internally after 7 days. After that, recovery and export will only contain the e-mail address.

Dealing with applicant data

If your application is not successful, you hereby consent to internetwarriors GmbH storing your personal data that you have provided to us during the entire application process (cover letter, CV, references, applicant questionnaires and photos) beyond the end of the specific application process. You agree that internetwarriors GmbH will use this data in order to be able to contact you again at a later point in time and to continue the application procedure if you should be considered for another position at internetwarriors GmbH.

Your data will not be passed on to third parties. This consent is voluntary and has no effect on your chances in the application process. You can refuse to give your consent without giving reasons, without having to worry about disadvantages in the current job advertisement. You can object to the data storage at any time for no reason. Your data will then be deleted immediately.

Cookies

Some of the Internet pages use so-called cookies. Cookies do not cause any damage to your computer and do not contain any viruses. Cookies serve to make our website more user-friendly, effective and secure. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and saved in your browser.

Most of the cookies we use are so-called “session cookies”. They are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Other cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. These cookies enable us to recognize your browser the next time you visit our website.

You can modify your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser.

We Use Google Analytics

This website uses functions of the web analysis service Google Analytics. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

Google Analytics enables the website operator to analyze the behavior of website visitors. In doing so, the website operator receives various usage data, such as page views, browsing time, operating systems used and the origin of the user. This data is assigned to the respective end device of the user. An assignment to a user ID does not take place.
Furthermore, we can use Google Analytics to track your mouse and scroll movements and clicks, among other things. Furthermore, Google Analytics uses various modeling approaches to supplement the data records collected and uses machine learning technologies in data analysis.

Google Analytics uses technologies that enable the recognition of the user for the purpose of analyzing user behavior (e.g. cookies or device fingerprinting). The information collected by Google about the use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there.
The use of this service is based on your consent according to Art. 6 paragraph 1 lit. a DSGVO and § 25 paragraph 1 TTDSG. The consent can be revoked at any time.
Data transfer to the USA is based on the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission. Details can be found here: https://privacy.google.com/businesses/controllerterms/mccs/.

IP ANONYMIZATION

We have activated the IP anonymization function on this website. This means that your IP address will be truncated by Google within member states of the European Union or in other states party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before being transmitted to the USA. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with any other data held by Google.

BROWSER PLUGIN

You can prevent the collection and processing of your data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.
For more information on how Google Analytics handles user data, please see Google’s privacy policy: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=de.

DEMOGRAPHIC CHARACTERISTICS AT GOOGLE ANALYTICS

This website uses the “demographic characteristics” feature of Google Analytics in order to display suitable advertisements to website visitors within the Google advertising network. This allows reports to be generated that include statements about the age, gender, and interests of site visitors. This data comes from interest-based advertising from Google as well as from visitor data from third-party providers. This data cannot be assigned to a specific person. You can deactivate this function at any time via the ad settings in your Google account or generally prohibit the collection of your data by Google Analytics as shown in the item “Objection to data collection”.

ORDER PROCESSING

We have concluded an order processing agreement with Google and fully implement the strict requirements of the German data protection authorities when using Google Analytics.

Using Google Analytics Ad Features

In addition to the standard configuration of Google Analytics, functions of Google Analytics are also used on this website that support interest-based advertising and advertising based on the surfing behaviour of users. Google Analytics uses a third-party cookie from DoubleClick to evaluate data about the surfing behavior of users on various websites. This data can be used to make statistical statements about the demographic data and areas of interest of website users.

We expressly point out to you that we cannot see any data about individual users and cannot trace the statistical data that we use back to certain users. Some of our website visitors will see our advertisements on other websites after their visit. This form of advertising is called remarketing or retargeting.

If you wish to object to the placement of these advertisements, we recommend that you use one of the options listed above for deactivating website tracking by website users. Google also allows you to control cookies for ad preferences yourself: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/technologies/ads/.

Google Optimize 

We use Google Optimize, a service provided by Google (“Google Optimize”). Google Optimize analyzes the use of different variants of the website, so that we are able to adjust the user experience to fit the behavior of the website users. Google Optimize is a tool embedded in Google Analytics and uses cookies.

The IP address received in this way is anonymized immediately after processing. In exceptional cases, the full IP address is transmitted to a Google server in the USA and encrypted there. The transmitted IP address 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 not all functions of our website can be used to their full extent. You can also prevent the collection of data generated by cookies and related to your use of the website by Google, as well as the processing of this data by Google, by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.

Clarity

This website uses Clarity. The provider is Microsoft Ireland Operations Limited, One Microsoft Place, South County Business Park, Leopardstown, Dublin 18, Ireland, https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/clarity/ (hereinafter “Clarity”).
Clarity is a tool for analyzing user behavior on this website. In particular, Clarity records mouse movements and creates a graphical representation of which part of the website users scroll to most frequently (heat maps). Clarity can also record sessions so that we can view page usage in the form of videos. We also receive information about general user behavior within our website.
Clarity uses technologies that enable the recognition of the user for the purpose of analyzing user behavior (e.g. cookies or use of device fingerprinting). Your personal data is stored on Microsoft servers (Microsoft Azure Cloud Service) in the USA.

Insofar as consent has been obtained, the aforementioned service is used exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 Paragraph. 1 lit. a DSGVO and § 25 TTDSG. The consent can be revoked at any time. If no consent has been obtained, the use of this service is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO; the website operator has a legitimate interest in effective user analysis.

Further details on Clarity’s data protection can be found here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/clarity/faq.

Matomo (formerly: PIWIK)

In our internet presence we use Matomo (formerly: “PIWIK”). This is an open source software, with which we can analyze the use of our internet presence. Your IP address, the website(s) of our Internet presence that you visit, the website from which you have switched to our Internet presence (referrer URL), your length of stay on our Internet presence as well as the frequency with which you call up one of our websites are processed.

To collect this data, Matomo stores a cookie on your end device via your internet browser. This cookie is valid for 13 months.

The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) DSGVO. Our legitimate interest lies in the analysis and optimization of our Internet presence.

However, we use Matomo with the anonymization function “Automatically Anonymize Visitor IPs”. This anonymization function shortens your IP address by two bytes, so that an assignment to you or to the Internet connection you use is impossible.

If you do not agree with this processing, you have the possibility to prevent the storage of the cookie by a setting in your internet browser. You will find more information on this under “Cookies” above.

In addition, you have the option of terminating the analysis of your usage behavior by means of the so-called opt-out. By confirming the link

a cookie is stored on your end device via your internet browser, which prevents further analysis. Please note, however, that you will have to click the above link again if you delete the cookies stored on your terminal device.

Google Conversion Tracking

As an AdWords customer, we also use Google Conversion Tracking, an analysis service of Google Inc, in which Google Adwords sets a cookie on your computer (“conversion cookie”) if you access our website via a Google ad. These cookies expire after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. If you visit certain pages of ours and the cookie has not expired, we and Google may recognize that someone clicked on the ad and was redirected to our page. Each AdWords customer receives a different cookie. Cookies can therefore not be traced through the websites of AdWords customers. The information collected using the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for conversion tracking.

AdWords customers see the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, you will not receive any information that personally identifies users. If you do not wish to participate in the tracking process, you can also reject the setting of a cookie required for this – for example using a browser setting that generally deactivates the automatic setting of cookies.

You can also deactivate cookies for conversion tracking by setting your browser to block cookies from the “googleadservices.com” domain. Google’s privacy policy on conversion tracking can be found at https://services.google.com/sitestats/de.html.

Using Remarketing and other Targeting Features of Google Inc.

We use the remarketing technology of Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; “Google”). Through this technology, users who have already visited our Internet pages and online services and are interested in the offer are again addressed through targeted advertising on the pages of the Google Partner Network. The insertion of the advertisement takes place via the use of cookies, which are small text files that are stored on the user’s computer. The text files can be used to analyse user behaviour when visiting the website and can then be used for targeted product recommendations and interest-based advertising.

If you do not wish to receive interest-based advertising, you can disable Google’s use of cookies for these purposes by visiting https://www.google.de/settings/ads. Alternatively, users can disable the use of third-party cookies by visiting the Network Advertising Initiative’s opt-out page.

By using our offers, you agree to the processing of the data collected about you by Google in the form described here and for the above-mentioned purpose. Please note that Google has its own privacy policy, which is independent from ours. We take no responsibility or liability for these policies and procedures. Please read Google’s privacy policy before using our website.

Using Google Adsense

We also use Google AdSense, a web ad service of Google Inc., to serve ads (text ads, banners, etc.). Your browser may store a cookie sent by Google or third parties. The information stored in the cookie can be recorded, collected and evaluated by Google or third parties. Google Adsense also uses small invisible graphics to collect information, which can be used to record, collect and evaluate simple actions such as visitor traffic on the website.

The information generated by the cookie and/or the graphics about your use of this website is transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. Google uses the information obtained in this way to evaluate your usage behavior with regard to AdSense ads. Google may also transfer this information to third parties if this is required by law or if third parties process this data on behalf of Google. Google will not associate your IP address with other data stored by Google. You can prevent the storage of cookies on your hard disk and the display of the aforementioned graphics. As with the other cookies described, the same applies here: To do this, you must deactivate the acceptance of cookies in your browser settings.
