Data privacy

Deutsche Medien Verlag GmbH (hereinafter referred to as DMV) takes data protection and data security seriously and always processes data in compliance with the applicable standards, in particular the current version of the German Federal Data Protection Act. In doing so, we rely on high security standards in the collection and administration of our customer and user data. The following declaration gives you an overview of what data DMV collects and how it is collected.

Data Collection

You can visit our site without giving any personal information. We only store access data without personal reference such as the name of your Internet service provider, the website from which you visit us or the name of the requested file. These data are evaluated solely for the purpose of improving our offer and do not allow any inference to you as a person.

Personal data will only be collected if you voluntarily provide it to us while opening a user account or registering for our newsletter.

When registering for the newsletter, your e-mail address will be used for own advertising purposes until you unsubscribe from the newsletter. You can unsubscribe at any time.

Cookies

A cookie is a file that is stored on your computer when visiting DMV websites. Cookies store information such as your watched companies. A cookie stores only information that you have provided.

Cookies are used by us for the following purposes:

- to automatically recognize you when you sign into our website;
- to use the favorites list without signing in

Transfer of Personal Data

We adhere to the principle of assigned data usage and collect, process and store your personal data only for the purposes for which you have provided us. Your personal data will not be passed on to third parties without your express consent, unless this is necessary for the execution of the contract. Transfer of personal data to authorized state authorities and institutions only takes place when following statutory information obligations or if we are obligated to divulge information due to a court order. Our employees have been obliged by us to confidentiality and to comply with the data protection regulations.

To carry out the contract, it is necessary to pass on your data to the credit institution commissioned with the payment. When paying by credit card via HeidelPay or by direct debit via HeidelPay or via DebitCard via HeidelPay, we will transfer your payment data as part of the payment process to Heidelberger Payment GmbH, Vangerowstr. 18, D-69115 Heidelberg.

Credit Checks

If we have made payment or provided service in advance, for example when purchasing on account, we collect a credit report based on mathematical and statistical procedures from SCHUFA Holding AG, Kormoranweg 5, 65201 Wiesbaden, Germany, to safeguard our legitimate interests. For this purpose, we pass on the personal data required for a credit check to SCHUFA Holding AG and use the information received on the statistical probability of a default for a balanced decision on the establishment, implementation or termination of the contractual relationship. The creditworthiness information can contain probability values (SCORE values) which are calculated on the basis of scientifically recognized mathematical-statistical methods and which include address data in their calculation. Your concerns with regard to data protection are taken into account at all times in accordance with the legal provisions.

Data Security

In the order process, your personal data will be encrypted by SSL via the Internet. We secure our website and other systems through technical and organizational measures against loss, destruction, access, modification and dissemination of your data by unauthorized persons. Access to your user account is only possible after entering your personal password. You should always keep your access information confidential and close the browser window as soon as you have finished communicating with us, especially if your PC is used by more than one person.

You can also revoke the consent you give us to collect and use your personal data at any time. Please contact the contact address given in the Legal Notice.

IVW / INFOnline GmbH

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 range measurement is to determine the intensity of use, the number of users of a website and the surfing behavior statistically – based on a uniform standard procedure – and thus obtain comparable values across the market.

For websites that are member of the Association for the Determination of the Dissemination of Advertising Media (Informationsgemeinschaft zur Feststellung der Verbreitung von Werbeträgern e.V., IVW – http://www.ivw.eu) or which participate in the German Study Group Online Research (Arbeitsgemeinschaft Online-Forschung e.V., AGOF - http://www.agof.de) the usage statistics are published regularly by the AGOF and the Association of the Working Group Media Analysis ( Arbeitsgemeinschaft Media-Analyze e.V, agma - http://www.agma-mmc.de), as well as the IVW and can be viewed on the respective websites.

1. Data Processing
INFOnline GmbH collects and processes data in accordance with German data protection law. Technical and organizational measures ensure that individual users cannot be identified at any time. Data that may be related to a specific identifiable person is anonymized at the earliest opportunity.

1.1 Anonymization of IP Address
On the Internet, each device needs a unique address, the so-called IP address, to transmit data. Due to the functioning of the Internet, it is technically necessary to store the IP address for at least a short period of time. The IP addresses are shortened before any processing and are only processed anonymously. Unabridged IP addresses are not stored or processed.

1.2 Geolocalization Down to the Level of Federal States/Regions
So-called geolocalization, meaning mapping the location at which a website is accessed, is based on anonymized IP addresses only and takes place only down to the geographical level of federal states/regions. Geographic information obtained in this way by no means allows conclusions to be drawn regarding the user's specific place of residence.

1.3 Identification Number of the Device
In order to recognize computer systems, the reach measurement alternatively uses either a cookie with the identification "ioam.de", a "local storage object" or an anonymous signature that was created based on various pieces of information automatically transmitted by your browser. The cookie's validity is limited to one year.

1.4 Login ID
To measure distributed use (use of a service from different devices), the user ID can be transferred to INFOnline as an anonymous checksum when logging in, if available.

2. Deletion
The stored usage processes are deleted after 7 months at the latest.

3. Objection
If you do not wish to participate in the measurement, you can object by clicking on the following link: http://optout.ioam.de Further information on data protection in the measurement process can be found on the website of INFOnline GmbH (https://www.infonline.de), which operates the measurement process, the data protection website of AGOF

(http://www.agof.de/datenschutz) and the data protection website of the IVW (http://www.ivw.eu).
