Privacy policy

As website operators, we (hereinafter referred to as "we", "us", "our", "website" or "Manooal") take the protection of your personal data very seriously. All personal information will be treated confidentially and in accordance with legal requirements, as explained in this privacy policy.

It is Manooal's policy to respect your privacy with respect to any information we collect while you use our website. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting any personal information that you may provide us through the website. The purpose of this privacy policy is to explain to you what information we collect about you, how we process this information and under what circumstances we pass the information on to third parties.

This privacy policy sets out the general rules and guidelines for the use of our website. Depending on your activities on our website, you may be required to agree to additional terms and conditions.

Automatic data acquisition

You can visit our website without providing any personal information. Nevertheless, certain information about you is created and stored, as happens with almost every website these days. When you visit our website as you are doing right now, our web server (computer on which this website is stored) automatically saves data such as:

in files (web server log files).

Usually web server log files are stored for two weeks and then automatically deleted. We do not pass on this data, but cannot exclude the possibility that this data may be viewed in the event of illegal behaviour.

Storage of personal data

Certain services require certain information. You may be asked to provide some or all of the following information in order to register to access various content or features, upload content, contact us directly with questions or feedback, or use other features of the Service:

If you send us personal data by e-mail - thus off this website - we cannot guarantee secure transmission and protection of your data. We recommend that you never send confidential data by e-mail without encryption.

According to Article 6 paragraph 1 a DSGVO (lawfulness of processing), the legal basis is that you give us your consent to process the data you have entered. You can revoke this consent at any time - an informal e-mail to [email protected] is sufficient.

Reasons for the collection of personal data

Your personal data is used to enable us to optimise the services we provide and the content provided on the website. We may decide to use your personal data for statistical purposes and to analyse your user behaviour in order to improve our services and products. Furthermore your data will be used for the following:

Manooal may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its website and may publish or share this information with others, but will not disclose your personal information.

Retention period of your personal data

The DSGVO provides that personal data may in principle only be stored for a specific processing purpose and only for as long as necessary for the purpose in question (Art. Article 5, paragraph. 1 lit. e DSGVO). Accordingly, your personal data will be stored for different periods of time, depending on the purpose of processing:

Security

We use TLS (Transport Layer Security) to transmit data tap-proof on the Internet (data protection through technology design article 25 paragraph 1 DSGVO). By using TLS, an encryption protocol for secure data transmission over the Internet, we can ensure the protection of confidential data. You can recognize the use of this data transmission security by the small lock symbol in the upper left corner of the browser and the use of the https scheme (instead of http) as part of our Internet address.

The security of your personal data is important to us. However, please note that no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. Although we strive to protect your personal information by commercially acceptable means, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

Your rights according to the basic data protection

In accordance with the provisions of the DSGVO, you are basically entitled to the following rights:

If you believe that the processing of your data violates data protection law or your data protection rights have otherwise been violated in any way, you can contact the Federal Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information (BfDI).

Links to external websites

Our service may contain links to external websites which are not operated by us. When you click a third-party link, you are directed to that third-party website.

We strongly encourage you to read the privacy statements and terms and conditions of any website you visit.

We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies or practices of third party websites, products or services.

Google AdWords - Remarketing

Manooal uses the Remarketing Services to reach previous visitors to our website on third-party websites (including Google). This may mean that we inform previous visitors who have not yet completed a task on our website, such as completing their profile data, about this service. This can take the form of an ad on the Google search results page or a website on the Google display network. Third party advertisers, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a person's previous visits to a website. Of course, all information collected is used in accordance with our own privacy policy and Google's privacy policy.

On Google's "Advertising preferences" page, you can set preferences for how Google advertises for you. If you wish, you can deactivate interest-based advertising completely via cookie settings or permanently via a browser plugin.

Google Analytics

On our website we use the analysis tracking tool Google Analytics (GA) of the American company Google Inc. For the European area the company Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street Dublin 4, Ireland) is responsible for all Google services. Google Analytics collects data about your actions on our website. For example, when you click on a link, this action is stored in a cookie and sent to Google Analytics. The reports we receive from Google Analytics help us better tailor our website and services to your needs. In the following we will go into more detail about the tracking tool and inform you above all about what data is stored and how you can prevent this.

Google Analytics is a tracking tool that is used for traffic analysis of our website. To make Google Analytics work, a tracking code is built into the code of our website. When you visit our website, this code records various actions that you perform on our website. As soon as you leave our website, this data is sent to the Google Analytics servers and stored there.

Google processes the data and we get reports about your user behaviour. These reports may include, inter alia, the following:

Our goal with this website is clear: We want to offer you the best possible service. The statistics and data from Google Analytics help us to achieve this goal.

The statistically evaluated data give us a clear picture of the strengths and weaknesses of our website. On the one hand, we can optimize our site so that interested people can find it more easily on Google. On the other hand, the data helps us to better understand you as a visitor. We therefore know exactly what we need to improve on our website in order to provide you with the best possible service. The data also helps us to carry out our advertising and marketing measures more individually and cost-effectively. After all, it only makes sense to show our products and services to people who are interested.

Google Analytics uses a tracking code to create a random, unique ID associated with your browser cookie. This way Google Analytics recognizes you as a new user. The next time you visit our site, you will be recognized as a "returning" user. All collected data is stored together with this User ID. This is the only way to evaluate pseudonymous user profiles.

Labels such as cookies and app instance IDs measure your interactions on our site. Interactions are all kinds of actions you perform on our website. If you also use other Google systems (such as B. a Google Account), data generated via Google Analytics can be linked to third-party cookies. Google does not pass on any Google Analytics data unless we as the website operator approve this. Exceptions may be made if required by law.

Google has distributed your servers around the world. Most servers are located in America and therefore your data is usually stored on American servers. Here you can find out exactly where the Google data centers are located:

https://www.google.com/about/datacenters/inside/locations/?hl=de

Your data is distributed on different physical media. This has the advantage that the data can be retrieved more quickly and is better protected against manipulation. Every Google data center has emergency programs for your data. For example, if Google's hardware fails or natural disasters paralyze servers, Google's risk of service interruption remains low.

Google Analytics has a standard retention period of 26 months for your user data. Then your user data will be deleted. However, we do have the option to choose the period of retention of user data ourselves. We have five variants available for this:

When the specified period has expired, the data is deleted once a month. This retention period applies to your data stored with cookies, user recognition and advertising IDs (e. g. , your name, address, email address, etc. ). B. Cookies of the DoubleClick domain) are linked. Reporting results are based on aggregated data and are stored independently of user data. Aggregated data is a fusion of individual data to form a larger unit.

Under European Union data protection law, you have the right to access, update, delete or restrict your data. You can use the browser add-on to disable Google Analytics JavaScript (ga. js, analytics. js, dc. js) to prevent Google Analytics from using your data. You can download and install the browser add-on at https://tools. google. com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de. Please note that this add-on only disables the data collection by Google Analytics.
