Privacy policy

1 Scope of application

1.1
The following privacy policy applies to the use of the website www.pbsnetwork.eu and the services offered via this website. This website is an offer of PBS Network GmbH, Rosensteinstr. 9, D-70191 Stuttgart, Managing Director C. Eberz, e-mail: info(at)pbsnetwork.eu as controller within the meaning of Art. 4 EU General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR"). You can contact our data protection officer Harald Kressler MediaCom GmbH at datenschutz@pbsnetwork.eu or at our postal address with the addition "the data protection officer".

1.2
The protection of your personal data is important to us, especially with regard to the protection of personal rights when processing and using this information. In the following, we provide information about the collection of personal data when using our website. Personal data is all data that can be related to you personally, such as your name, address, email addresses and user behaviour.

2 Automated data collection and processing by the browser

2.1
As with every website, our server automatically and temporarily collects information in the server log files that are transmitted by the browser, unless you have deactivated this. If you wish to view our website, we collect the following data, which is technically necessary for us to display our website to you and to ensure stability and security (legal basis Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR)

IP address of the requesting computer
File request of the client
the http response code
the website from which you are visiting us (referrer URL)
the time of the server request
Browser type and version
the operating system used by the requesting computer

The server log files are not analysed on a personal basis. This data cannot be assigned to specific persons by the provider at any time. This data is not merged with other data sources.

2.2
Matomo web analysis service

This website uses the open source web analysis service Matomo. With the help of Matomo, we are able to collect and analyse data about the use of our website by website visitors.

This enables us to find out, among other things, when which pages were accessed and from which region. We also record various log files (e.g. IP address, referrer, browser and operating system used) and can measure whether our website visitors perform certain actions (e.g. clicks, purchases, etc.). The use of this analysis tool is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

The website operator has a legitimate interest in analysing user behaviour in order to optimise both its website and its advertising. If a corresponding consent has been requested, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 para. 1 TTDSG, insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information in the user's terminal device (e.g. device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TTDSG.

Consent can be revoked at any time.

IP anonymisation

This website uses Matomo with the "AnonymizeIP" extension, i.e. we use IP anonymisation for analysis with Matomo. This means that your IP address is shortened before it is analysed so that it can no longer be clearly assigned to you. This means that direct personal identification can be ruled out. The IP address transmitted by your browser via Matomo is not merged with other data collected by us.

Cookies

Cookies (more details in § 5) are stored on your computer for this analysis. The information collected in this way is stored by the controller exclusively on its server in Germany. You can stop the analysis by deleting existing cookies and preventing the storage of cookies. If you prevent the storage of cookies, we would like to point out that you may not be able to use this website to its full extent. You can prevent the storage of cookies by changing the settings in your browser. You can prevent the use of Matomo by unchecking the following box to activate the opt-out plug-in: [Matomo iFrame]. As soon as you delete all cookies, the opt-out plug-in is also deactivated again and must be reset.

Hosting

We host Matomo exclusively on our own servers in Germany, so that all analysis data remains with us and is not passed on.

The Matomo programme is an open source project. Information from the third-party provider on data protection can be found at http://Matomo.org/privacy/policy.

3 Data collection and processing of voluntarily provided data

3.1 General contact

If you provide us with personal data by e-mail or via our website (surname, first name, e-mail address, contact details, messages), this is generally done on a voluntary basis. This data is used to process your enquiries and for our own market or opinion research. Any further use, in particular the forwarding of data to third parties for the purposes of advertising, market or opinion research, does not take place. We delete the data collected in this context after storage is no longer required, or restrict processing if there are statutory retention obligations. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR or Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR.

4 Disclosure to third parties

If you have provided us with personal data, it will not be passed on to third parties. A passing on takes place only

within the scope of a consent given by you
as part of the processing of your enquiries, your orders and the use of our services to commissioned subcontractors, who only receive the necessary data for the execution of this order and use it for a specific purpose.

11. Goog­le Ana­ly­tics

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 enable ana­ly­sis of how you use the web­site. The in­for­ma­ti­on ge­ne­ra­ted by the coo­kie about your use of the web­site will usual­ly be trans­mit­ted to and stored by Goog­le on a ser­ver in the United Sta­tes. If IP an­ony­mi­sa­ti­on is en­ab­led on this web­site, ho­we­ver, your IP ad­dress will be shor­ten­ed by Goog­le wi­thin Eu­ro­pean Uni­on Mem­ber Sta­tes or in other Sta­tes par­ty to the Agree­ment on the Eu­ro­pean Eco­no­mic Area. On­ly in ex­cep­tio­nal ca­ses will your full IP ad­dress be sent to a Goog­le ser­ver in the USA and shor­ten­ed the­re. Goog­le will use this in­for­ma­ti­on on be­half of the ope­ra­tor of the web­site to eva­lua­te your use of the web­site, com­pi­le re­ports on web­site ac­ti­vi­ty and pro­vi­de other ser­vices re­la­ted to web­site usa­ge and in­ter­net usa­ge for the web­site ope­ra­tor. Goog­le will not com­bi­ne the IP ad­dress sent by your brow­ser while using Goog­le Ana­ly­tics wi­th other da­ta. You can pre­vent the sto­rage of coo­kies by con­fi­gu­ring your brow­ser soft­ware; ho­we­ver, plea­se no­te that this may rest­rict the func­tion­a­li­ty of this web­site. You can al­so pre­vent coll­ec­tion and pro­ces­sing of the da­ta ge­ne­ra­ted by the coo­kie re­la­ting to your use of the web­site (in­clu­ding your IP ad­dress) by Goog­le by down­loa­ding and in­stal­ling the brow­ser plug-in available at tools.goog­le.com/dl­pa­ge/ga­op­tout about Goog­le Ana­ly­tics and Goog­le’s pri­va­cy po­li­cy, vi­sit https://po­li­ci­es.goog­le.com/pri­va­cy . Plea­se be awa­re that on this web­site Goog­le Ana­ly­tics has be­en ex­pan­ded using the code “gat._an­ony­mi­zeIp();” in or­der to gua­ran­tee an­ony­mi­sed coll­ec­ted of IP ad­dres­ses (IP mas­king).

12. Use of You­Tube vi­de­os 

We have em­bedded vi­de­os in­to our web­site from You­Tube, LLC, 901 Cher­ry Ave, San Bru­no, CA 94066, USA (“You­Tube”), which are stored on www.you­tube.com and can be view­ed on our web­site. We have em­bedded the­se vi­de­os in “pri­va­cy-enhan­ced mo­de”, which me­ans that when you vi­sit our web­site wi­t­hout vie­w­ing a You­Tube vi­deo em­bedded the­re, no per­so­nal da­ta are sent to You­Tube. On­ly if you view a vi­deo will da­ta be sent to You­Tube. We have no in­fluence on the sen­ding the­se da­ta. For mo­re in­for­ma­ti­on about the pur­po­se and scope of da­ta coll­ec­tion by You­Tube, about how You­Tube pro­ces­ses and uses your da­ta, and about your rights and op­ti­ons for pro­tec­ting your da­ta pri­va­cy, plea­se see You­Tube’s pri­va­cy po­li­cy, which can be found at https://po­li­ci­es.goog­le.com/pri­va­cy. 

13. Goog­le Tag Ma­na­ger

For trans­pa­ren­cy re­asons, we would li­ke to in­form you that we use the Goog­le Tag Ma­na­ger pro­vi­ded by Goog­le Ire­land Li­mi­t­ed (Re­gis­tra­ti­on Num­ber: 368047), Gor­don House, Bar­row Street, Dub­lin 4, Ire­land. The Goog­le Tag Ma­na­ger its­elf does not coll­ect any per­so­nal da­ta. It fa­ci­li­ta­tes the in­te­gra­ti­on and ma­nage­ment of our tags. Tags are small code ele­ments that, among other things, me­a­su­re traf­fic and vi­si­tor be­ha­vi­or, cap­tu­re the im­pact of on­line ad­ver­ti­sing and so­cial chan­nels, set up re­mar­ke­ting and au­di­ence tar­ge­ting, and test and op­ti­mi­ze web­sites. We use the Tag Ma­na­ger for the Goog­le Ana­ly­tics ser­vice. If you have opted for de­ac­ti­va­ti­on, this de­ac­ti­va­ti­on will be ta­ken in­to ac­count by the Goog­le Tag Ma­na­ger. For fur­ther in­for­ma­ti­on on the Goog­le Tag Ma­na­ger, plea­se re­fer to: Goog­le Tag Ma­na­ger Use Po­li­cy: https://www.goog­le.com/intl/de/tag­ma­na­ger/use-po­li­cy.html .
 

14. Goog­le re­CAPTCHA

We use "Goog­le re­CAPTCHA" (her­ein­af­ter re­fer­red to as "re­CAPTCHA") on our web­sites. The pro­vi­der is Goog­le Inc., 1600 Am­phi­theat­re Park­way, Moun­tain View, CA 94043, USA ("Goog­le").

Re­CAPTCHA is used to ve­ri­fy whe­ther da­ta in­put on our web­sites (e.g., in a cont­act form) is do­ne by a hu­man or by an au­to­ma­ted pro­gram. To achie­ve this, re­CAPTCHA ana­ly­zes the be­ha­vi­or of the web­site vi­si­tor ba­sed on va­rious cha­rac­te­ristics. This ana­ly­sis be­g­ins au­to­ma­ti­cal­ly as so­on as the web­site vi­si­tor en­ters the site. For ana­ly­sis, re­CAPTCHA eva­lua­tes va­rious in­for­ma­ti­on (e.g., IP ad­dress, du­ra­ti­on of the web­site vi­si­tor's stay on the site, or mou­se mo­ve­ments ma­de by the user). The da­ta coll­ec­ted du­ring the ana­ly­sis is for­ward­ed to Goog­le.

The re­CAPTCHA ana­ly­ses run com­ple­te­ly in the back­ground. Web­site vi­si­tors are not in­for­med that an ana­ly­sis is ta­king place.

Da­ta pro­ces­sing is ba­sed on Art. 6 pa­ra. 1 lit. f GD­PR. The web­site ope­ra­tor has a le­gi­ti­ma­te in­te­rest in pro­tec­ting their web of­fe­rings from ab­u­si­ve au­to­ma­ted es­pio­na­ge and SPAM.

For mo­re in­for­ma­ti­on on Goog­le re­CAPTCHA and Goo­g­le's pri­va­cy po­li­cy, plea­se re­fer to the fol­lo­wing links: Goog­le Pri­va­cy Po­li­cy and https://www.goog­le.com/re­captcha/in­tro/an­droid.html. 

15. Ex­ter­ne Links

Our on­line of­fe­ring may con­tain links to third-par­ty web­sites from pro­vi­ders not af­fi­lia­ted wi­th us. Af­ter cli­cking the link, we no lon­ger have any in­fluence on the coll­ec­tion, pro­ces­sing, and use of any per­so­nal da­ta trans­mit­ted to the third par­ty by cli­cking the link (such as IP ad­dress or the URL of the pa­ge whe­re the link is lo­ca­ted), as the be­ha­vi­or of third par­ties is na­tu­ral­ly bey­ond our con­trol. We do not as­su­me re­spon­si­bi­li­ty for the pro­ces­sing of such per­so­nal da­ta by third par­ties. 

16. Goog­le Ads, Re­mar­ke­ting und Con­ver­si­on-Track­ing

We use the Goog­le Ads ser­vice, an on­line ad­ver­ti­sing pro­gram pro­vi­ded by Goog­le LLC (1600 Am­phi­theat­re Park­way, Moun­tain View, CA 94043, USA). The re­spon­si­ble en­ti­ty for users in the EU/EEA and Switz­er­land is Goog­le Ire­land Li­mi­t­ed, Goog­le Buil­ding Gor­don House, 4 Bar­row St, Dub­lin, D04 E5W5, Ire­land.

This me­ans that we dis­play Goog­le Ads and, as part of this, uti­li­ze Goog­le Re­mar­ke­ting and Con­ver­si­on Track­ing. Ads are dis­play­ed ba­sed on search queries on web­sites wi­thin the Goog­le ad­ver­ti­sing net­work. Ad­di­tio­nal­ly, we use Ads Re­mar­ke­ting lists for search ads, al­lo­wing us to tail­or search ad cam­paigns for users who have pre­vious­ly vi­si­ted our web­site. Th­rough the­se ser­vices, we have the abili­ty to com­bi­ne our ads wi­th spe­ci­fic search terms or dis­play ads to pre­vious vi­si­tors pro­mo­ting ser­vices they view­ed on our web­site. Con­se­quent­ly, we can show users of our web­site in­te­rest-ba­sed ad­ver­ti­sing on other web­sites wi­thin the Goog­le ad­ver­ti­sing net­work (as a "Goog­le Ad" in the con­text of Goog­le Search or on other web­sites).

For in­te­rest-ba­sed of­fe­rings, an ana­ly­sis of on­line user be­ha­vi­or is ne­ces­sa­ry. Goog­le uses coo­kies to con­duct this ana­ly­sis. When a user clicks on an ad or vi­sits our web­site, Goog­le sets a coo­kie on the user's com­pu­ter. The­se coo­kies have a life­span of 90 days. The in­for­ma­ti­on coll­ec­ted via the re­spec­ti­ve coo­kies is used to spe­ci­fi­cal­ly ad­dress the vi­si­tor in la­ter search queries. Fur­ther in­for­ma­ti­on on the coo­kie tech­no­lo­gy used can be found in Goo­g­le's no­tes on web­site sta­tis­tics and in their pri­va­cy po­li­cy.

Th­rough this tech­no­lo­gy, Goog­le and we as the cus­to­mer re­cei­ve in­for­ma­ti­on that a user cli­cked on an ad and was re­di­rec­ted to our web­sites. The in­for­ma­ti­on ob­tai­ned is so­le­ly used for sta­tis­ti­cal ana­ly­sis to op­ti­mi­ze ad­ver­ti­sing. We do not re­cei­ve in­for­ma­ti­on that al­lows us to per­so­nal­ly iden­ti­fy vi­si­tors. Your IP ad­dress is trans­mit­ted to Goog­le; ho­we­ver, as we use Goog­le Ana­ly­tics on this web­site wi­th Goo­g­le's IP mas­king, your IP ad­dress is an­ony­mi­zed.

The log da­ta is an­ony­mi­zed af­ter 9 months, and coo­kie in­for­ma­ti­on is an­ony­mi­zed af­ter 18 months.

The sta­tis­tics pro­vi­ded by Goog­le in­clude the to­tal num­ber of users who cli­cked on one of our ads and, if ap­pli­ca­ble, whe­ther they we­re re­di­rec­ted to a pa­ge on our web­site wi­th a con­ver­si­on tag. Using the­se sta­tis­tics, we can un­der­stand which search terms of­ten lead to clicks on our ad and which ads re­sult in user cont­act th­rough the cont­act form.

For mo­re in­for­ma­ti­on on pri­va­cy wi­th Goog­le Ads, plea­se vi­sit: Goog­le Ads Pri­va­cy Po­li­cy.

To en­su­re a se­cu­re le­vel of da­ta pro­tec­tion when pro­ces­sing da­ta out­side the EU/EEA, we have en­te­red in­to Stan­dard Da­ta Pro­tec­tion Clau­ses ad­opted by the EU Com­mis­si­on ac­cor­ding to Art. 46 GD­PR wi­th the ser­vice pro­vi­der. The­se clau­ses, in in­di­vi­du­al ca­ses, al­low the trans­fer of per­so­nal da­ta to a third coun­try.

The le­gal ba­sis for the de­scri­bed da­ta pro­ces­sing is your con­sent, Art. 6 pa­ra. 1 sen­tence 1 lit. a GD­PR. You can re­vo­ke your con­sent at any time wi­th ef­fect for the fu­ture by chan­ging your sel­ec­tion in the coo­kie set­tings (see abo­ve, sec­tion 5. Coo­kies). Al­ter­na­tively, you can de­le­te your coo­kies (all or on­ly from this web­site). The ban­ner wi­th the sel­ec­tion op­ti­ons will then be dis­play­ed again.

You al­so have the op­ti­on to sel­ect the ty­pes of Goog­le ads or di­sable in­te­rest-ba­sed ads on Goog­le th­rough the ad set­tings (https://adsset­tings.goog­le.com/au­then­ti­ca­ted?hl=en ) 

17. Face­book Cus­tom Au­di­ence/ Con­ver­si­on Track­ing Pi­xel

We have lin­ked Face­book on our web­site. Face­book is a so­cial net­work ow­ned by Me­ta Plat­forms Inc (form­er­ly face­book Inc), 1 Ha­cker Way, Men­lo Park, CA 94025, United Sta­tes. We host Face­book from its sub­si­dia­ry Me­ta Plat­forms Ire­land Ltd, 4 Grand Ca­nal Squa­re, Grand Ca­nal Har­bour, Dub­lin 2, Ire­land.

We use Face­book for ad­ver­ti­sing and in­for­ma­ti­on of our com­pa­ny. Per­so­nal da­ta is coll­ec­ted by Face­book as so­on as you ac­cess our Face­book pa­ge. We have no in­fluence on the scope of the da­ta that Face­book coll­ects.

We can­not ru­le out the pos­si­bi­li­ty that per­so­nal da­ta is trans­mit­ted to Face­book when you en­ter the web­site. Per­so­nal da­ta is coll­ec­ted by Face­book at the la­test when you en­ter our Face­book pa­ge. Li­ke­wi­se, we can­not ex­clude that Face­book trans­mits the in­for­ma­ti­on to a ser­ver in a third coun­try.

The re­spon­si­bi­li­ty of the per­so­nal da­ta coll­ec­ted on the Face­book pa­ge lies en­ti­re­ly wi­th Face­book.

For mo­re in­for­ma­ti­on about Face­boo­k's pri­va­cy po­li­ci­es, plea­se vi­sit https://www.face­book.com/po­li­cy.php/.

We have en­te­red in­to stan­dard con­trac­tu­al clau­ses wi­th Me­ta to pro­tect your da­ta in the best pos­si­ble way. Ho­we­ver, for ana­ly­tics pur­po­ses, Me­ta may share your da­ta wi­th third-par­ty ser­vice pro­vi­ders who al­so have cor­re­spon­ding con­tracts wi­th Me­ta.

Plea­se no­te that this ser­vice may trans­fer the coll­ec­ted da­ta to an­o­ther coun­try. This coun­try may al­so be out­side of the Eu­ro­pean Uni­on and the Eu­ro­pean Eco­no­mic Area and thus may not pro­vi­de an ade­qua­te le­vel of da­ta pro­tec­tion. Should the da­ta be trans­fer­red to the United Sta­tes of Ame­ri­ca, the­re is a risk that your da­ta may be ac­ces­sed and pro­ces­sed by the US aut­ho­ri­ties for con­trol and mo­ni­to­ring pur­po­ses. In this ca­se, you will not have any le­gal re­cour­se that you can use to pro­tect your da­ta.

We would li­ke to in­form you on­ce again at this point that in ad­di­ti­on to the da­ta de­scri­bed abo­ve that the me­ta ser­vices coll­ect, any da­ta stored by you that is stored in your Face­book ac­count is al­so coll­ec­ted when you en­ter our web­site wi­th a log­ged-in Face­book ac­count. We have no in­fluence on the da­ta that is coll­ec­ted at this point. Fur­ther­mo­re, you can al­so log out of your ac­count so that no fur­ther da­ta is coll­ec­ted from you by Face­book.
