Which data is collected can be seen from the respective input forms. We store and use the data provided by you to process the contract (legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR). After completion of the contract or deletion of your customer account, your data will be blocked with regard to tax and commercial retention periods and deleted after expiry of these periods, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data or a legally permitted further use of data has been reserved by us, about which we will inform you accordingly.

b) Use of your data for direct advertising

aa) Registration for our email newsletters

If you register for one of our e-mail newsletters, we will send you regular information about our offers.
The only mandatory information for sending a newsletter is your e-mail address. The provision of any other data is voluntary and is used to address you personally. We use the so-called double opt-in procedure for sending the newsletter. This means that we will only send you an e-mail newsletter if you have expressly confirmed to us that you agree to the newsletter being sent. We will then send you a confirmation e-mail asking you to confirm that you wish to receive this newsletter in future by clicking on a corresponding link.

By activating the confirmation link, you give us your consent to the use of your personal data in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR for the transmission of the ordered newsletter.

When you register for a newsletter, we store your IP address entered by the Internet service provider (ISP) as well as the date and time of registration in order to be able to trace any possible misuse of your e-mail address at a later date.

The data collected by us when you register for this newsletter will be processed exclusively for the purposes of advertising via this newsletter. You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time using the link provided in the newsletter or by sending us a corresponding message (see below). Once you have unsubscribed, your e-mail address will be deleted from our newsletter distribution list immediately, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data or we reserve the right to use your data for other purposes, insofar as this is permitted by law and we inform you of this.

You can unsubscribe at any time by writing to Pelemedia GmbH, Richard-Reitzner-Allee 2, 85540 Haar or by sending an e-mail to info(at)pelemedia.de.

c) Collection of personal data for participation in tests and competitions

For tests and competitions, names, addresses, telecommunication numbers and e-mail addresses are collected and stored depending on the situation.

INFOline Scalable Central Measurement System (SZM)

Our website uses the measurement method ("SZMnG") of INFOnline GmbH(https://www.INFOnline.de ) to determine statistical parameters about 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 - based on a uniform standard procedure - and thus to obtain market-wide comparable values. For all digital offerings that are members of the Informationsgemeinschaft zur Feststellung der Verbreitung von Werbeträgern e.V. (IVW - http://www.ivw.eu ) or participate in the studies of the Arbeitsgemeinschaft Online-Forschung e.V. (AGOF - http://www.agof.de), the usage statistics are regularly processed by the AGOF and the Arbeitsgemeinschaft Media-Analyse e.V. (agma - http://www.agma-mmc.de ) and published with the performance value "Unique User" and by the IVW with the performance values "Page Impression" and "Visits". These reach figures and statistics can be viewed on the respective websites.

Legal basis for processing:
Measurement using the SZMnG measurement method by INFOnline GmbH is carried out with a legitimate interest in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR.
The purpose of processing personal data is to compile statistics and create user categories. The statistics are used to track and document the use of our website. The user categories form the basis for the interest-based targeting of advertising materials and advertising measures. In order to market this website, it is essential to measure usage in order to ensure comparability with other market participants. Our legitimate interest arises from the economic usability of the findings resulting from the statistics and user categories and the market value of our website - also in direct comparison with third-party websites - which can be determined on the basis of the statistics.

In addition, we have a legitimate interest in making the pseudonymized data available to INFOnline, AGOF and IVW for the purposes 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 the further development and provision of interest-based advertising material.

Type of data:
INFOnline GmbH collects the following data, which has a personal reference according to the EU GDPR:

• IP address: On the Internet, every device requires a unique address, the so-called IP address, to transmit data. The at least short-term storage of the IP address is technically necessary due to the way the Internet works. The IP addresses are shortened by 1 byte before any processing and only processed further in anonymized form. There is no storage or further processing of the unabridged IP addresses.
• A randomly generated client identifier: Range processing uses either a third-party cookie, a first-party cookie, a "local storage object" or a signature created from various automatically transmitted information from your browser to recognize computer systems. This identifier is unique for a browser as long as the cookie or local storage object is not deleted. It is therefore also possible to measure the data and subsequently assign it to the respective client identifier if you visit other websites that also use INFOnline GmbH's measurement procedure ("SZMnG"). The validity of the cookie is limited to a maximum of 1 year.

Use of the data:
INFOnline GmbH's measurement method, which is used on this website, determines usage data. This is done in order to collect the performance values page impressions, visits and clients and to form further key figures from this (e.g. qualified clients). In addition, the measured data is used as follows:

• A so-called geolocalization, i.e. the assignment of a website call to the location of the call, is carried out exclusively on the basis of the anonymized IP address and only up to the geographical level of the federal states / regions. Under no circumstances can the geographical information obtained in this way be used to draw conclusions about the specific location of a user.
• The usage data of a technical client (e.g. a browser on a device) is merged across websites and stored in a database. This information is used for the technical estimation of the socio-information age and gender and transferred to AGOF's service providers for further reach processing. As part 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, occupation, marital status, general household information, household income, place of residence, Internet use, online interests, place of use, user type.

Storage duration of the data:
The full IP address is not stored by INFOnline GmbH. The shortened 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.

If you do not wish to participate in the measurement, you can object at 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-mentioned link.

The data subject has the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection authority. 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 IVW(http://www.ivw.eu).
