1.2 Usage Data, Usage Profiles, Cookies

Users may also visit our portal without providing any personal data, but certain data is still always collected when the website is being used:

(a) On visits to our website, we store certain data in so-called “log files”. A log file consists of the times when the visit to our website starts and finishes, the quantity of data transmitted, and the subpages called up on our website. Please note that our log files do not contain any IP addresses: they are completely anonymous.

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google Inc. (“Google”), 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, California 94043, USA. Google Analytics uses socalled “cookies”, miniature text files that are stored on your computer and enable your use of the website to be analyzed. The information on your use of our website (including your IP address) that is generated by the cookie is transferred to one of Google’s servers in the USA and stored there. Google uses this information to analyze your use of the website, to compile reports for the website operator about activities on its website, and to provide other services connected with use of the website and of the Internet generally. Google may also transfer this information to third parties if it is obliged to do so by law, or if it has external contract data processing done. Google will definitely not link your IP address to any other data it has. By adjusting your browser settings you can prevent cookies being installed, but we should like to point out that you may then no longer be able to make full use of all our website’s functions. On using this website, you at the same time agree to Google processing your data in the manner and for the purpose specified above.

2. Using Data

1.2 Personal Data

 

2.1.1 General Use of Personal Data

We make use of your personal data so that we can implement the contractual relationship you have with us and manage your user account, as well as for contacting you if necessary.

2.1.2 Use of Your Email Address

We use your email address so that we can contact you about your user account and send you our newsletter if you have subscribed to it. You can of course cancel the newsletter at any time, by mailing your request to unsubscribe@yatta.de or simply by clicking on the link provided at the bottom of the newsletter.

2.1.3 Transferring Personal Data to Third Parties

As a matter of principle your personal data is not transferred to third parties, with the following exceptions:

(a) if transferring data is necessary in order to implement your contractual relationship with us or to assert any claims we may have, but even then only to the extent required;

(b) if we are obliged to do so by law or under a court ruling; or

(c) in response to requests from government agencies, in particular supervisory bodies and judicial authorities, if the information is required for averting a threat to law and order or public safety or for prosecution purposes, but even then only to the extent required.

2.2 Usage Data

2.2.1 General Use of Usage Data

For one thing, we collect and store log files for safety reasons, because they enable us to find out whether our portal is being misused and to follow up any specific instances that call for corrective action. From the other data and from the information obtained from Google Analytics, we can learn for another thing how our service is used. We need insights like this in order to be able to offer you a safe, user-friendly Internet service, on top of which they also help us to improve the marketing of our platform.

2.2.2 Non-Disclosure of Usage Data

As a matter of principle, we do not disclose usage data to third parties unless we are obliged to do so by law, or may rightfully do so – for instance, in circumstances suggesting that lives may be at risk. In any such cases we provide information to the department of public prosecution, to the police, and to any other government agencies responsible for prosecuting crimes or dealing with threats.

3. Links to other Websites

Our own website may contain links to the websites of other providers who are in no way associated with us (external links). External links are specially marked as such on our website. Once you click on an external link, we no longer have any influence over the processing of any personal data (e.g. your IP address, or the URL containing the link) that is thereby transferred to the third party, because their actions are obviously beyond our control. We therefore cannot and will not assume any liability for the way such personal data is used or processed by third parties.

4. Information, Correction, Erasure, Blocking

If you send us a request in writing or in text form, we will tell you at any time which of your personal data we have stored. You can also request us at any time to block or erase the data. The only data that is not erased is that required for completing outstanding assignments or for asserting rights and enforcing claims, along with any data that we are obliged to retain by law; however, any such data that is excluded from erasure will then be blocked.

5. Safety

Both technically and in terms of organization, we take safety measures to ensure that the personal data of our customers and of visitors to our website are protected against loss, incorrect modification, or unauthorized access by third parties. For our part, only authorized persons ever have access to your personal data, and even then only to the extent required for the purposes specified above.
