7. IVW, INFOnline, AGOF
Our website uses the measuring method (“SZMnG”) of INFOnline GmbH (https://www.INFOnline.de) to determine statistical parameters on the use of our offers. The aim of the usage measurement is to statistically determine the number of visits to our website, the number of website visitors and their surfing behavior – on the basis of a uniform standard procedure – and thus to obtain values that are comparable throughout the market.
For all digital offers that are members of the Informationsgemeinschaft zur Feststellung der Verbreitung von Werbeträgern e.V. (IVW – http://www.ivw.eu) or participating in the studies of the Arbeitsgemeinschaft Online-Forschung e.V. (AGOF – http://www.agof.de), the usage statistics are regularly updated by AGOF and the Arbeitsgemeinschaft Media-Analyse e.V. (agma – http://www.agma-mmc.de) and published with the performance value “Unique User” as well as by the IVW with the performance values “Page Impression” and “Visits”. These ranges and statistics can be viewed on the respective websites.
a) Legal basis for the processing
The measurement by means of the SZMnG measurement procedure by INFOnline GmbH shall be carried out with justified interest pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) DSGVO.
The purpose of processing the personal data is the compilation of statistics and the creation of user categories. The statistics serve to trace and document the use of our offer. The user categories form the basis for the alignment of advertising material or advertising measures in line with the interests of the user. In order to market this website, it is essential to measure usage in order to ensure comparability with other market participants. Our legitimate interest results from the economic usability of the knowledge resulting from the statistics and user categories and the market value of our website – also in direct comparison with websites of third parties – which can be determined by means of the statistics.
Furthermore, we have a legitimate interest in making the pseudonymized data available to INFOnline, AGOF and IVW for the purpose of market research (AGOF, agma) and for statistical purposes (INFOnline, IVW). Furthermore, we have a legitimate interest in making the pseudonymized data available to INFOnline for further development and provision of advertising material in line with our interests.
b) Nature of the data
INFOnline GmbH collects the following data, which are personal data according to EU-DSGVO:
– IP address: On the Internet, every device requires a unique address, the so-called IP address, to transmit data. Due to the way the Internet works, it is technically necessary to store the IP address at least for a short period of time. Before any processing, the IP addresses are shortened by 1 byte and only processed anonymously. There is no storage or further processing of the unabridged IP addresses.
– A randomly generated client identifier: To recognize computer systems, the range processing uses alternatively either a cookie with the identification “ioam.de”, a “Local Storage Object” or a signature, which is created from various automatically transmitted information of your browser. This identifier is unique to a browser as long as the cookie or local storage object is not deleted. A measurement of the data and subsequent assignment to the respective ClientIdentifier is therefore also possible if you call up other websites that also use the measurement method (“SZMnG”) of INFOnline GmbH. The validity of the cookie is limited to a maximum of 1 year.
c) Use of the data
The INFOnline GmbH measurement method used on this website determines usage data. This is done in order to collect the performance values of page impressions, visits and clients and to form further key figures from this (e.g. qualified clients). Furthermore, the measured data is used as follows:
– A so-called geolocalization, i.e. the assignment of a website call to the place of the call, is exclusively based on the anonymized IP address and only up to the geographical level of the federal states / regions. From the geographical information obtained in this way, it is in no way possible to draw conclusions about the actual location of a user.
– The usage data of a technical client (e.g. a browser on a device) are merged across websites and stored in a database. This information is used for the technical estimation of the socioinformation age and gender and is passed on to the service providers of AGOF for further coverage processing. Within the scope of the AGOF study, socio characteristics are technically estimated on the basis of a random sample, which can be assigned to the following categories: Age, gender, nationality, professional activity, marital status, general household data, household income, place of residence, Internet use, online interests, place of use, user type.
d) Duration of data storage
The complete IP address is not stored by INFOnline GmbH. The abbreviated IP address is stored for a maximum of 60 days. The usage data in connection with the unique identifier is stored for a maximum of 6 months.
e) Passing on of data
The IP address as well as the shortened IP address will not be passed on. For the preparation of the AGOF study, data with client identifiers will be forwarded to the following AGOF service providers:
– Kantar Germany GmbH (https://www.tns-infratest.com/)
– Ankordata GmbH & Co. KG (http://www.ankordata.de/homepage/)
– Interrogare GmbH (https://www.interrogare.de/)
f) Right of objection
If you do not wish to take part in the measurement, you can object to it by clicking on the following link: https://optout.ioam.de. To guarantee exclusion from the measurement, it is technically necessary to set a cookie. If you delete the cookies in your browser, it is necessary to repeat the opt-out process under the above link.
The person concerned has the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection authority.
Further information on data protection in the measurement procedure can be found on the website of INFOnline GmbH (https://www.infonline.de), which operates the measurement procedure, the data protection website of AGOF (http://www.agof.de/datenschutz) and the data protection website of IVW (http://www.ivw.eu).
