  • Date and time of retrieval
  • Your IP address
  • Login name
  • Name of the retrieved file,
  • amount of data transferred,
  • Message indicating whether the retrieval was successful.

The data is temporarily processed in a log file. Before storage, each data record is anonymized by changing the IP address after 4 days.

The anonymized data is stored on a server beyond the time of the visit to the website. We are obliged to do so on the basis of Article 6(1)(e) and (3)(b) of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). This data is analyzed and required in the event of attacks on communication technology.

Data logged when accessing the Linkando GmbH website will only be transmitted to third parties if we are legally obliged to do so or if disclosure is necessary for legal or criminal prosecution in the event of attacks on communications technology. Data will not be passed on in other cases.

When individual pages are called up, so-called temporary cookies are used to facilitate navigation. These session cookies do not contain any personal data and expire at the end of the session. Technologies such as Java applets or Active-X controls, which make it possible to track the access behavior of users, are not used.

SSL or TLS encryption

This site uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries that you send to us as the site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in your browser line.

If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Legal basis for data processing

In order to be able to offer you our website and the associated services, we process personal data on the basis of the following legal bases:

  • Consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR)
  • for the performance of contracts (Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR)
  • on the basis of a balancing of interests (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR)
  • for the fulfillment of a legal obligation (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c) GDPR)

We will refer to the relevant terms in connection with the respective processing so that you can classify the basis on which we process personal data.

This means that no cookies are used and no personal data is collected. The Google Tool Manager triggers other tags, which in turn may collect data. However, the Google Tag Manager does not access this data. If deactivation has been carried out at domain or cookie level, it remains in place for all tracking tags, provided that these are implemented with the Google Tag Manager.

In order to set up the audio and video conference, technical information is transmitted to Nexmo Inc. by the Internet browser (e.g. IP address, browser type, set language, date and time) and, if necessary, used and statistically evaluated for the procedure. This data is processed separately, not assigned to any natural person and then regularly deleted.

f) Facebook visitor action pixel

Our website uses the visitor action pixel from Facebook, Facebook Inc, 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA ("Facebook") to measure conversions. This allows the behavior of site visitors to be tracked after they have been redirected to the provider's website by clicking on a Facebook ad. This allows the effectiveness of Facebook ads to be evaluated for statistical and market research purposes and future advertising measures to be optimized.

The data collected is anonymous for us as the operator of this website; we cannot draw any conclusions about the identity of the user. However, the data is stored and processed by Facebook so that a connection to the respective user profile is possible and Facebook can use the data for its own advertising purposes in accordance with the Facebook Data Usage Policy. This allows Facebook to place advertisements on Facebook pages and outside of Facebook. This use of the data cannot be influenced by us as the site operator.

Only when you play the videos will the data mentioned in paragraph 2 be transmitted. We have no influence on this data transfer.

We have also integrated content from the following third-party providers on this website: Google Maps and Google Web Fonts (external fonts).

h) Matomo

Scope and description of the processing of personal data
Our website uses the web analysis service Matomo, an open source solution.

Matomo stores cookies on your end device that enable your use of our website to be analyzed. The information collected in this way is stored exclusively on our server, namely the following data:

  • two bytes of the IP address of the user's calling system
  • the website accessed
  • the website from which the user accessed the website (referrer)
  • the subpages that are accessed from the accessed website
  • the time spent on the website
  • the frequency with which the website is accessed

Our website uses Matomo with the setting "Anonymize Visitors' IP addresses". This means that IP addresses are further processed in abbreviated form, thus excluding the possibility of direct personal identification. The software is set so that the IP addresses are not stored in full, but 2 bytes of the IP address are masked (e.g. 192.168.xxx.xxx). In this way, it is no longer possible to assign the shortened IP address to the calling computer. The IP address transmitted by your browser via Matomo is not merged with other data collected by us.

Legal basis for the processing of personal data
The legal basis for the processing of the user's data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR or § 15 para. 3 TMG.

Purposes of processing
We use Matomo to analyze the use of our website and individual functions and offers in order to continuously improve the user experience. By statistically evaluating user behavior, we improve our offer and make it more interesting for visitors.

Duration of storage
The data of the processing described here will be deleted after a storage period of 90 days.

Data analysis by Brevo

With the help of Brevo, we are able to analyze our newsletter campaigns. For example, we can see whether a newsletter message has been opened and which links have been clicked on. In this way, we can determine, among other things, which links were clicked on particularly often.

Brevo also allows us to subdivide ("cluster") newsletter recipients according to various categories. The newsletter recipients can be subdivided according to the selection of the desired newsletter. In this way, the newsletters can be better adapted to the respective target groups.

Access logs ("server logs")
General log data, so-called server logs, are automatically recorded each time the Funnel is accessed. These data are generally pseudonyms and therefore do not allow any conclusions to be drawn about a natural person. Without this data, it would not be technically possible in some cases to deliver and display the content of the software. In addition, the processing of this data is absolutely necessary for security reasons, in particular for access, input, transmission and storage control. In addition, the anonymous information can be used for statistical purposes and to optimize the offering and technology. In addition, the log files can be subsequently checked and analyzed in the event of suspected illegal use of the software. The

The cookies used serve to ensure security when visiting a website ("strictly necessary"), to implement certain functionalities such as standard language settings ("functional") and to improve the user experience or performance on the website ("performance"). Strictly necessary, functional and performance cookies are used within the funnels, in particular to implement certain default settings such as the language, to store answers given even with a poor internet connection or to analyze the performance of a funnel and the channel used by a user to access this funnel. The use of cookies is absolutely necessary for the provision of our services and thus for the fulfillment of the contract (Art. 6 (1) b) GDPR). Storage duration: Up to 1 month or until the end of the browser session Right to object: You can use your browser settings to determine whether you want to allow cookies or object to the use of cookies.

As the IP addresses of website visitors have already been shortened when using Google Analytics, no direct personal reference is established. A personal reference may be presumed when reviewing the linked company information. You can view Dealfront's privacy policy here: https://www.dealfront.com/de/gdpr/.

4. Processing of personal data for submissions and inquiries

In connection with submissions and inquiries, we only process data that is necessary to communicate with you and to properly document the business processes.

The processing of the data is necessary for the performance of our tasks (see Article 6(1)(e) and (3)(b) GDPR in conjunction with Section 3 BDSG).

We will only pass on the data we receive from you to third parties if you have expressly consented to this or if we are obliged to do so by law or on the basis of a court decision.

As a rule, the retention periods for this are 10 years.

Data processing outside the EU takes place with regard to the sending of emails. Here, our service provider "Chimpify" uses the provider "Sendgrid". The necessary measures have been taken to ensure an appropriate level of data protection. The so-called EU standard contractual clauses, which can be found on the EU Commission's website, are used for this purpose.

7. Rights of data subjects

Linkando GmbH is responsible for the processing of personal data both in the context of fulfilling our tasks and as a contracting party under civil law. The data subjects therefore have the following rights under the GDPR:

a) Right of access - Article 15 GDPR

The right to information gives the data subject comprehensive insight into the data concerning him/her and some other important criteria such as the purposes of processing or the duration of storage. The exceptions to this right set out in §34 BDSG apply.

b) Right to rectification - Article 16 GDPR

The right to rectification includes the possibility for the data subject to have incorrect personal data concerning them corrected.

c) Right to erasure - Article 17 GDPR

The right to erasure includes the possibility for the data subject to have data erased by the controller. However, this is only possible if the personal data in question is no longer necessary, is being processed unlawfully or consent has been withdrawn. The exceptions to this right set out in §35 BDSG apply.

d) Right to restriction of processing - Article 18 GDPR

The right to restriction of processing includes the possibility for the data subject to prevent further processing of the personal data concerning them for the time being. A restriction occurs primarily in the review phase of other rights exercised by the data subject.

e) Right to data portability - Article 20 GDPR

The right to data portability includes the possibility for the data subject to receive the personal data concerning him/her from the controller in a commonly used, machine-readable format in order to have it forwarded to another controller if necessary.

g) Right to withdraw consent

Insofar as the processing of personal data is based on your consent (Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR), you can revoke this consent at any time for the corresponding purpose. The lawfulness of the processing based on your consent remains unaffected until receipt of your revocation.
