Use of the scalable central measurement method

Our website uses the measurement procedure (“SZMnG”) from INFOnline GmbH ( https://www.INFOnline.de ) to determine statistical parameters about the use of our offers. The aim of 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 comparable values ​​across the market.

For all digital offerings that are members of the Information Community for Determining the Distribution of Advertising Media eV (IVW - http://www.ivw.eu ) or are involved in the studies of the Online Research Association (AGOF - http://www. agof.de ), the usage statistics are regularly further processed by AGOF and the Arbeitsgemeinschaft Media-Analyse eV (agma - http://www.agma-mmc.de ) to determine reach 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.

1. Legal basis for processing

The measurement using the SZMnG measurement method by INFOnline GmbH is carried out with a legitimate interest in accordance with Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter f) GDPR.

The purpose of processing personal data is to create statistics and create user categories. The statistics serve to understand and provide evidence of the use of our offering. The user categories form the basis for the interest-based targeting of advertising material or advertising measures. In order to market this website, usage measurement that ensures comparability with other market participants is essential. 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 using the statistics.

In addition, 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). We also have a legitimate interest in making the pseudonymized data available to INFOnline for the further development and provision of advertising materials that are tailored to your interests.

2. Type of data

INFOnline GmbH collects the following data, which is personal in accordance with the EU GDPR:

  • IP address: On the Internet, every device needs a unique address to transmit data, the so-called IP address. 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 are only anonymized. There is no storage or further processing of the unabridged IP addresses.
  • A randomly generated client identifier: To recognize computer systems, range processing alternatively uses either a cookie with the identifier “ioam.de”, a “local storage object” or a signature that is created from various automatically transmitted information from 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 client identifier is therefore also possible if you access 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.

3. Use of data

The measurement method of INFOnline GmbH, which is 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 create further key figures from them (e.g. qualified clients). In addition, the measured data is used as follows:

  • A so-called geolocation, i.e. the assignment of a website access to the location of the access, 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 any conclusions be drawn about the specific location of a user from the geographical information obtained in this way.
  • 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 assessment of the socio-information age and gender and passed on to the AGOF service providers for further reach processing. As part of the AGOF study, socio-characteristics are technically estimated based on a random sample, which can be assigned to the following categories: age, gender, nationality, professional activity, marital status, general information about the household, household income, place of residence, internet use, online Interests, location of use, user type.

4. Data storage period

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 conjunction with the unique identifier is stored for a maximum of 6 months.

5. Sharing of data

The IP address and the shortened IP address are not passed on. To create the AGOF study, data with client identifiers is passed on to the following AGOF service providers:

6. Rights of the data subject

The data subject has the following rights:

If you do not want to take part in the measurement, you can object using the following link: https://optout.ioam.de

In order to guarantee exclusion from 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 using the link above.

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

Use of the scalable central measurement method through an application

Our application uses the measurement procedure (“SZMnG”) from INFOnline GmbH ( https://www.INFOnline.de ) to determine statistical parameters about the use of our offers. The aim of usage measurement is to determine the usage intensity, the number of uses and users of our application and their surfing behavior statistically - based on a uniform standard procedure - and thus to obtain comparable values ​​across the market.

The IP addresses are shortened before any processing and only processed further anonymously. The unabridged IP addresses are not stored or processed.
  • A device identifier: To recognize devices, range measurement uses unique identifiers of the device or a signature that is created from various automatically transmitted information about your device. It may also be possible to measure the data and then assign it to the respective identifier if you call up other applications that also use the measurement method (“SZMnG”) from INFOnline GmbH.

The following unique device identifiers can be transmitted to INFOnline GmbH as a hash:

  • Advertising identifier
