§ 4 Further functions and offers on our website
(1) In addition to the purely informational use of our website, we offer various services that you can use if interested and we use other standard functions for analysing or marketing our offers, which are presented in more detail below. To do this, you usually have to provide further personal data or we process such further data that we use to carry out the respective service. The aforementioned data processing principles apply to all of the data processing purposes described above.
(2) In some cases, we use external service providers to process your data. These have been carefully selected by us, are bound by our instructions and are regularly monitored.
(3) Furthermore, we may pass on your personal data to third parties if we offer participation in promotions, competitions, the conclusion of contracts or similar services together with partners. Depending on the service, your data may also be collected by the partners on their own responsibility. You will receive more detailed information when you provide your data or below in the description of the respective offers.
At https://myablefy.com/s/mboptiquantdynamics, we offer payment for our digital products through the following payment service provider:
Use of the service provider ELOPAGE GmbH
Your order will be processed and fulfilled by the service provider ELOPAGE GmbH, Potsdamer Straße 125, 10783 Berlin. If you click on a so-called product button on our website, you will be immediately redirected to our website at ELOPAGE GmbH.
The payment data you enter will be transmitted to ELOPAGE GmbH.
All transactions of ELOPAGE GmbH are subject to the ELOPAGE GmbH privacy policy, which you can find and view at https://myablefy.com/privacy?locale=de. We have placed our privacy policy on our website on the ELOPAGE GmbH sales platform.
Since ELOPAGE GmbH acts on our behalf with regard to the collection, processing and use of personal data, we have concluded an order data processing contract with ELOPAGE GmbH to implement the requirements of Art. 28 DS-GVO.
The legal bases are Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. a and b DS-GVO. In this respect, § 5 paragraph 1 of this data protection declaration applies to the revocation of your consent to the processing of your data.
(4) If our service providers or partners are based in a country outside the European Economic Area (EEA), we will inform you of the consequences of this circumstance in the description of the offer.

§ 5 Objection to or revocation of consent to the processing of your data
(1) If you have given your consent to the processing of your data, you can revoke it at any time. Such a revocation influences the permissibility of the processing of your personal data after you have given it to us. The permissibility of the processing of your data up to the time of your revocation remains unaffected.
(2) Insofar as we base the processing of your personal data on the weighing of interests, you may object to the processing. This is the case in particular if the processing is not necessary for the fulfilment of a contract with you, which we describe in the following description of the functions. When exercising such an objection, we ask you to explain the reasons why we should not process your personal data in the way we have done. If your objection is justified, we will review the situation and either stop or adjust the data processing or point out to you our compelling legitimate grounds for continuing the processing.
(3) Of course, you can object to the processing of your personal data for advertising and data analysis purposes at any time. You can best exercise your right to object to advertising using the contact details provided above.

§ 6 Processing of data from your end devices (‘Cookie Policy’)
(1) In addition to the above-mentioned data, we use technical tools for various functions when you use our website, in particular cookies that can be stored on your end device. When you access our website and at any time thereafter, you have the choice of whether you generally allow cookies to be set or which individual additional functions you would like to select. You can make changes in your browser settings or via our Consent Manager. In the following, we will first describe cookies from a technical point of view (2) before we go into more detail about your individual options by describing technically necessary cookies (3) and cookies that you can voluntarily deselect or deactivate (4).
(2) Cookies are text files or information in a database that are stored on your hard drive and assigned to the browser you are using, so that certain information can flow to the location that sets the cookie. Cookies cannot execute any programmes or transmit any viruses to your computer; rather, they serve primarily to make the internet offering faster and more user-friendly. This website uses the following types of cookies, the functionality and legal basis of which we will explain below:
Transient cookies: These, in particular session cookies, are automatically deleted when you close your browser or log out. They contain a so-called session ID. This allows various requests from your browser to be assigned to the same session and your computer to be recognised when you return to our website.
Persistent cookies: These are automatically deleted after a specified period, which is set differently for each cookie. You can view the cookies that have been set and their durations at any time in your browser settings and delete them manually.
Other technologies: These functions are not based on cookies, but on similar technical mechanisms, such as flash cookies, HTML5 objects or an analysis of your browser settings. The result is also that we can use the techniques described below. Here, too, you can of course consent or object.
(3) Mandatory functions that are technically necessary to display the website: The technical structure of the website requires us to use techniques, in particular cookies. Without these techniques, our website cannot be displayed (completely correctly) or the support functions could not be made possible. These are basically transient cookies that are deleted after the end of your website visit, at the latest when you close your browser. You cannot opt out of these cookies if you wish to use our website. The individual cookies can be seen in the Consent Manager. The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 (1) 1 lit. f GDPR.
(4) Optional cookies when you give your consent: We only set various cookies after you have given your consent, which you can select during your first visit to our website using the so-called cookie consent tool. The functions are only activated if you give your consent and can be used in particular to enable us to analyse and improve visits to our website, to make it easier for you to use our website via different browsers or end devices, to recognise you when you visit our website again or to place advertising (if necessary, also to tailor advertising to your interests, to measure the effectiveness of advertisements or to show interest-based advertising). The legal basis for this processing is Article 6 (1) sentence 1 point (a) GDPR. You may withdraw your consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of the processing carried out up to the withdrawal. The functions we use, which you can individually select and withdraw via the Consent Manager, are described below.

§ 7 Special forms of use
Use of our portal
(1) If you wish to use our portal, you can register by providing your email address, a password of your choice and a user name of your choice. There is no obligation to use your real name; pseudonymous use is possible. The provision of the aforementioned data is mandatory; you can provide all other information voluntarily by using our portal. We use the so-called double opt-in procedure for this service, i.e. you will receive an e-mail in which you must confirm that you are the owner of the e-mail address provided and that you wish to receive the notifications. You can unsubscribe from the notifications at any time, e.g. by clicking on the link in the e-mail or using the contact details provided.

§ 8 Newsletter
1. Newsletter
(1) You can subscribe to our newsletter, with which we inform you about our current interesting offers, by declaring your consent. The advertised goods and services are named in the declaration of consent.
(2) We use the so-called double opt-in procedure for newsletter registration. This means that after you register, we will send an e-mail to the e-mail address provided, in which we ask you to confirm that you are the owner of the e-mail address provided and that you wish to receive the notifications. If you do not confirm your registration within 24 hours, your information will be blocked and automatically deleted after one month.

The purpose of this procedure is to be able to verify your registration and, if necessary, to clarify any possible misuse of your personal data.
(3) The mandatory information for sending the newsletter is your email address and your first name. The provision of further, separately marked data is voluntary and is used to address you personally.

For this evaluation, the e-mails sent contain so-called web beacons or tracking pixels, which represent single-pixel image files stored on our website. For the evaluations, we link the data mentioned in § 3 above and the web beacons with your e-mail address and an individual ID.
You can object to this tracking at any time by clicking on the separate link provided in each e-mail or by informing us via another contact method, as shown above. The information is stored for as long as you are subscribed to the newsletter. After you unsubscribe, we store the data in a purely statistical and anonymous way.

§ 9 Web Analytics
1. Web tracking using Google Analytics / Google Tag Manager
(1) This website uses Google Analytics, a web tracking service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (‘Google’). The purpose of our use of the tool is to enable the analysis of your user interactions on websites and in apps and to improve our services and make them more interesting for you as a user by means of the statistics and reports obtained.
(2) We primarily use cookies, device/browser data, IP addresses and website or app activity to track the interactions between you as a user of the website and our website. In Google Analytics, your IP addresses are also recorded to ensure the security of the service and to provide us, as the website operator, with information about the country, region or city from which the respective user originates (so-called ‘IP location’). However, for your protection, we use the anonymisation function (‘IP masking’), which means that Google shortens the IP addresses within the EU/EEA by the last octet.
(3) Google acts as a processor and we have concluded a corresponding contract with Google. The information generated by the cookie and the (usually abbreviated) IP addresses regarding your use of this website are usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and processed there. In such cases, Google has, according to its own statements, imposed a standard that corresponds to the former EU-US Privacy Shield and has agreed to comply with applicable data protection laws in the international transfer of data. We have also agreed so-called standard contractual clauses with Google, the purpose of which is to ensure an adequate level of data protection in the third country.
(4) The legal basis for the collection and further processing of the information (which is carried out for a maximum of 14 months) is your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a DS-GVO). You may revoke your consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of the processing up to the point of revocation. In apps, you can reset the advertising ID in the Android or iOS settings. The easiest way to withdraw your consent is to use our Consent Manager or to install the Google browser add-on, which can be accessed via the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de/.
(5) You can find more information about the scope of Google Analytics at https://marketingplatform.google.com/about/analytics/terms/de/. Information on data processing when using Google Analytics is provided by Google at the following link: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=de/. General information on data processing, which Google also claims applies to Google Analytics, can be found in Google’s privacy policy at www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/.
(6) This website also uses Google Tag Manager, a service that allows website tags to be managed through a single interface. This service neither sets cookies nor collects personal data. However, data may still be collected because the service triggers other tags. However, Google Tag Manager does not access this data. If a deactivation has been carried out at the domain or cookie level, this deactivation will remain in place for all tracking tags.
Information about Google Tag Manager: https://www.google.de/tagmanager/use-policy.html.

2. Adobe Analytics
(1) We use the web analysis service Adobe Analytics to analyse the use of our website, to regularly improve it and to make it more interesting for you as a user. We conduct reach analyses, measure the success of our online marketing measures and carry out test procedures, for example to test and optimise different versions of our online offering or its components.
(2) The data collected is stored and analysed under a pseudonym. For this evaluation, cookies are stored on your computer. This website uses Adobe Analytics with the settings ‘Before Geo-Lookup: Replace visitor’s last IP octet with 0’ and ‘Obfuscate IP-Removed’, which shortens your IP address by the last octet and replaces it with a generic IP address that can no longer be assigned. This makes it impossible to identify individuals. The legal basis for the use of Adobe Analytics is Art. 6 (1) 1 lit. a GDPR.
(3) The information collected in this way is stored on Adobe servers, including those in the United States. For these cases, Adobe has, according to its own statements, imposed a standard that corresponds to the former EU-US Privacy Shield and has agreed to comply with applicable data protection laws when transferring data internationally. We have also agreed so-called standard data protection clauses with Adobe, the purpose of which is to ensure an adequate level of data protection in the third country. You can revoke your consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of the processing up to the revocation. The easiest way to revoke your consent is to use our Consent Manager or to click on the ‘Unsubscribe’ button at www.adobe.com/de/privacy/opt-out.html.

We have integrated Google Web Fonts locally on our servers in Germany.

§ 11 External Hosting / Content Delivery Networks (CDN)
This website is hosted by an external service provider,
René Münnich,
ALL-INKL.COM – Neue Medien Münnich
Hauptstraße 58,
02742 Friedersdorf
Germany

The personal data collected on this website is stored on the servers of the external service provider; see the list in § 3 (1). Your data will only be processed by our external service provider if this is necessary for the fulfilment of his contractual service obligations and if he follows our instructions regarding your data.
Since the external service provider acts on our behalf with regard to the collection, processing and use of personal data, we have concluded an agreement with the service provider for the implementation of the requirements of Art. 28 GDPR for commissioned data processing.
General information on the external service provider’s data protection provisions can be found at https://all-inkl.com/info/datenschutzinformationen/.
The legal basis for the use of the external service provider is Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. b and f GDPR.

§ 12 Social media and tools
1. Use of social media plug-ins
(1) We currently use the following social media plug-ins: Facebook and Instagram, which are only loaded if you have previously activated the function by giving your consent. We use the plug-ins to offer you the opportunity to interact with social networks and other users. The legal basis for the use of the plug-ins is Art. 6 (1) 1 lit. a GDPR, i.e. the integration only takes place with your consent.
(2) The plug-in provider stores the data collected about you as a user profile and uses it for the purposes of advertising, market research and/or the customised design of its website. Such an evaluation is carried out in particular (even for users who are not logged in) to display customised advertising and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, but to exercise this right you must contact the respective plug-in provider. The data transfer occurs regardless of whether you have an account with the plug-in provider and are logged in there. If you are logged in with the plug-in provider, the data collected by us will be directly associated with your account with the plug-in provider. If you click the activated button and, for example, link to the page, the plug-in provider also stores this information in your user account and shares it publicly with your contacts. We recommend that you regularly log out after using a social network, especially before activating the button, as this will prevent you from being assigned to your profile with the plug-in provider.
(3) The collected information is stored on the servers of the providers, and in the case of international providers, also outside Europe. For these cases, the provider has, according to its own statements, imposed a standard that corresponds to the former EU-US Privacy Shield and has agreed to comply with applicable data protection laws when transferring data internationally. We have also agreed so-called standard data protection clauses with the providers, the purpose of which is to maintain an adequate level of data protection in the third country.
(4) You can revoke your consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of the processing up to the revocation. The easiest way to revoke your consent is to use our Consent Manager or the social media provider functions.
(5) Further information on the purpose and scope of the data collection and its processing by the plug-in provider can be found in the following data protection declarations of these providers. These also provide further information about your rights in this regard and settings options for protecting your privacy.

https://instagram.com/legal/terms.
(2) We use the technical platform and services of the providers for these information services. We would like to point out that you use our social media platforms and their functions at your own risk. This applies in particular to the use of interactive functions (e.g. commenting, sharing, rating). When you visit our sites, the providers of the social media platforms collect, among other things, your IP address and other information that is stored on your device in the form of cookies. This information is used to provide us, as the account operator, with statistical information about your interaction with us.
(3) The data collected about you in this context is processed by the platforms and may be transferred to countries outside the European Union, in particular the USA. All of the aforementioned providers maintain, according to their own information, an adequate level of data protection that corresponds to that of the former EU-US Privacy Shield and we have concluded standard data protection clauses with the companies (with the exception of Xing, as this provider is based within the EU). We do not know how the social media platforms use the data from your visit to our account and interaction with our posts for their own purposes, how long this data is stored and whether data is passed on to third parties. The data processing may differ depending on whether you are registered with the social network and logged in or visit the site as a non-registered and/or non-logged-in user. When you access a post or the account, the IP address assigned to your device is transmitted to the provider of the social media platform. If you are currently logged in as a user, a cookie on your device can be used to track your movements on the web. Buttons embedded in websites enable the platforms to record your visits to these websites and assign them to your respective profile. This data can be used to offer you customised content or advertising. If you wish to avoid this, you should log out or disable the ‘Stay signed in’ function, delete the cookies on your device and restart your browser.
(4) As the provider of the information service, we only process the data from your use of our service that you provide to us and that requires interaction. For example, if you ask a question that we can only answer by email, we will store your information in accordance with the general principles of our data processing, which we describe in this data protection declaration. The legal basis for the processing of your data on the social media platform is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f DS-GVO.
(5) To exercise your rights as a data subject, you can contact us or the provider of the social media platform. If one party is not responsible for answering or the information must be obtained from the other party, we or the provider will forward your request to the respective partner. Please contact the operator of the social media platform directly if you have any questions about the creation of profiles or the processing of your data when using the website. If you have any questions about the processing of your interaction with us on our site, please write to us using the contact details provided above.
(6) The information that the social media platform receives and how it is used is described by the providers in their data protection declarations (see link in the table above). There you will also find information about how to contact us and how to customise your ads. Further information on social networks and how you can protect your data can also be found at www.youngdata.de.

The data referred to in paragraph 2 is only transferred when you play the videos. We have no influence on this data transfer. The legal basis for displaying the videos is Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 point (a) GDPR, i.e. the videos are embedded only with your consent.
(2) When you visit the website, YouTube receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding subpage of our website. In addition, the aforementioned basic data such as IP address and timestamp are transmitted. This occurs regardless of whether YouTube provides a user account that you are logged in to or whether no user account exists. If you are logged in to Google, your information will be directly associated with your account. If you do not wish to be associated with your profile on YouTube, you must log out before activating the button.

Such an evaluation is carried out in particular (even for users who are not logged in) to provide customised advertising and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You have the right to object to the creation of this user profile, but you must contact YouTube to exercise this right.
(3) The collected information is stored on Google servers, including in the United States. For these cases, the provider has, according to its own statements, imposed a standard that corresponds to the former EU-US Privacy Shield and has agreed to comply with applicable data protection laws when transferring data internationally. We have also agreed so-called standard data protection clauses with Google, the purpose of which is to maintain an adequate level of data protection in the third country.

3. Use of Google Ads
(1) We use the Google Ads service to draw attention to our offers with the help of advertisements. If you access our website via a Google ad, Google Ads stores a cookie on your device. The legal basis for the processing of your data is Art. 6 (1) 1 lit. a GDPR, i.e. the integration only takes place with your consent.
(2) The advertising material is delivered by Google via so-called ‘ad servers’. For this purpose, we and other websites use so-called ad server cookies, which allow certain parameters to be measured to determine success, such as the display of ads or clicks by users. The Google Ads cookies stored on our website enable us to obtain information about the success of our advertising campaigns. These cookies are not designed 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 (marker that a user no longer wishes to be addressed) are usually stored as analysis values for this cookie.
(3) The cookies set by Google enable Google to recognise your internet browser. If a user visits certain pages of an Ads 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 that page. A different cookie is assigned to each Ads customer so that the cookies cannot be tracked across the websites of other Ads customers. By integrating Google Ads, Google receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding part of our website or clicked on one of our ads. 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 may obtain and store your IP address.
(4) Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection with the Google server. We ourselves do not independently collect personal data in the aforementioned advertising measures, but only provide Google with the opportunity to collect the data. We only receive statistical evaluations from Google, which provide information about which ads were clicked on how often and at what prices. 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.
(5) You can revoke your consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of the processing up to the revocation. The easiest way to revoke your consent is to use our Consent Manager or the following functions:
a) by adjusting your browser software settings accordingly; in particular, suppressing third-party cookies will prevent you from receiving ads from third-party providers;
b) by setting your browser to block cookies from the domain www.googleadservices.com, www.google.de/settings/ads, although this setting will be deleted if you delete your cookies;
c) by disabling the interest-based ads of the providers that are part of the ‘About Ads’ self-regulation campaign via the link www.aboutads.info/choices, although this setting will be deleted if you delete your cookies;
d) by permanently disabling them in your Firefox, Internet Explorer or Google Chrome browsers under the link www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin. We would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all the functions of this offer to their full extent.

4. Google Conversion Tracking
(1) We use Google Ads with the additional application ‘Google Conversion Tracking’. This is a process that allows us to monitor the success of our advertising campaigns. To do this, the advertisements are provided with a technical precaution, e.g. an ID, which we can use to determine how a user interacts after clicking on the advertisements and whether one of our services is actually used. This provides us with statistical information about the total number of readers of our ads, which ads are particularly popular and, if applicable, further information about the consequences of the ad.
(2) The legal basis for the processing of your data is also Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 a) GDPR, i.e. the integration only takes place with your consent. You can prevent or no longer use the conversion tracking function in the same way as described above for Google Ads.
5. Google Remarketing
(1) We use Google Ads with the additional application ‘Google Remarketing’. This process allows us to create advertisements based on existing information about you and to address you again as you continue to use the internet. This is done by means of cookies set when you visit our offers (usually by cookies), which Google uses to record and pseudonymously evaluate your usage behaviour when you visit various websites. According to Google, the data collected as part of remarketing is not merged with your personal data that may be stored by Google.
(2) The legal basis for the processing of your data is also in this respect Art. 6 (1) 1 lit. a GDPR, i.e. the integration only takes place with your consent. You can prevent or stop using the remarketing function in the same way as described above for Google Ads.
6. LinkedIn Insight Tag
(1) Furthermore, the website uses the so-called LinkedIn Insight tag (or LinkedIn Pixel) of LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company (‘LinkedIn’). By integrating this JavaScript tag, interest-based and relevant advertisements (‘Ads’) can be displayed to you as a user of our website when you visit the social network LinkedIn or other websites that also use the process, and we receive statistics about the website visitors and demographics. Furthermore, we can evaluate your use of our LinkedIn advertising and your interest in our offers by means of a conversion tracking function and also display LinkedIn ads to you on other websites via retargeting. In doing so, we are pursuing the interest of improving the effectiveness of LinkedIn ads and making our website more interesting for you.
(2) By integrating the LinkedIn Insight tag, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection with the LinkedIn server when you visit the LinkedIn website or websites that have integrated the LinkedIn Insight tag. We and LinkedIn are jointly responsible for the collection of your usage data when you visit our website and for the transmission of this data to the provider. However, LinkedIn is solely responsible for the relevant processing to achieve the described objectives after the data has been transmitted. We have no influence on the extent and type of use of the data by LinkedIn, so we are informing you according to our level of knowledge: By integrating the LinkedIn Insight tag, LinkedIn receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding page of our website or clicked on one of our ads. If you are registered with a LinkedIn service, LinkedIn can assign the visit to your account. Even if you are not registered with LinkedIn or are not logged in, there is a possibility that the provider will obtain your IP address, time frame and other identifying features and link them to the actions assigned to you.
(3) You can deactivate the LinkedIn Insight tag and object to further advertising in the settings for advertisements at www.linkedin.com/help/linkedin/answer/62931?trk=microsites-frontend_legal_privacy-policy&lang=en and additionally at www.linkedin.com/psettings/guest-controls/retargeting-opt-out. Further information and settings options can be found in the LinkedIn Privacy Center: https://privacy.linkedin.com/de-de?lr=1/.
(4) The legal basis for the processing of your data is Art. 6 (1) 1 lit. a GDPR, i.e. the integration is only carried out with your consent. You can withdraw your consent at any time, most easily via our cookie manager. LinkedIn also processes your personal data in the United States and has adopted a standard that corresponds to the former EU-US Privacy Shield. We have also agreed so-called standard data protection clauses with LinkedIn, the purpose of which is to ensure an adequate level of data protection in the third country.
(5) For more information about LinkedIn’s data processing, please contact the provider, LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Attn: Legal Dept.

If you are registered with a Meta service, Meta can assign the visit to your account. Even if you are not registered with Meta or have not logged in, it is possible that the provider may obtain your IP address and other identifying information and use it to create a profile.
(3) The information collected is stored on Meta servers, including in the United States. For these cases, the provider has, according to its own statements, imposed a standard that corresponds to the former EU-US Privacy Shield and has agreed to comply with applicable data protection laws when transferring data internationally. We have also agreed so-called standard data protection clauses with Meta, the purpose of which is to maintain an adequate level of data protection in the third country.
(4) You may revoke your consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal. The easiest way to revoke your consent is via our Consent Manager.
