Fair Analytics

Purpose and legal basis
The Fair Analytics tracking service is used on our website. No cookies are set in the process. Rather, Fair Analytics retrieves the IP address of the website visitor as well as information about the terminal device and browser used (e.g. the user’s device type, the operating system used, the screen resolution of the terminal device, and the user’s time zone). Furthermore, information about the use of the website is collected. Examples of this are web pages called up, length of stay on the website, the scroll position and clicks of the user. On this basis, a pseudonymous profile is formed about the use of the website, whereby the IP address is not stored permanently.

The use of Fair Analytics serves the purpose of collecting information about the use of our website, in order to be able to better tailor the offer on our website to the interests of the visitors or to generally improve it on the basis of statistical evaluations.
The legal basis for this processing is your consent, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.

Recipient of the data
The recipient of the data is our order processor Fair Analytics, Kolb & Neuhauser GbR, with whom we have concluded a corresponding order processing agreement.

Storage duration
Your data will only be processed in this context as long as the corresponding consent has been given.

Third country transfer
The data collected by Fair Analytics is not transferred to a third country.

Provision prescribed or required
The provision of your personal data is voluntary, based solely on your consent. Without existing consent, we will not use the tracking service Fair Analytics.

Revocation of consent
You can revoke your consent to the use of Fair Analytics at any time with effect for the future. You can make this change in our Consent Tool. If you revoke your consent, we will immediately stop collecting data about the use of our website using Fair Analytics.

Profiling
With the help of the Fair Analytics tracking tool, the behavior of website visitors can be evaluated and interests analyzed in order to further improve our website and optimize it according to the actual interests of visitors. For this purpose, we create a pseudonymous user profile.
