INFOline Scalable Central Measuring System (SCZM)

Our website uses the measurement method ("SZMnG") of INFOnline GmbH (www.infonline.de/en/) to determine statistical parameters of the use of our offers. The aim of the usage measurement is to statistically determine the number of visits on our website, the number of website visitors, and their surfing behavior - on the basis of a uniform standard procedure
- and thereby to obtain market-wide comparable values. 

For all digital offers made by members of the Informationgemeinschaft zur Feststellung der Verbreitung von Werbeträgern e.V. (IVW - www.ivw.eu/englische-version) or the studies of the Arbeitsgemeinschaft Online-Forschung e.V. (AGOF - www.agof.de/?lang=en), the usage statistics are regularly published by AGOF and the Media-Analyse e.V. (agma - https://www.agma-mmc.de) working group and published with the performance value "Unique User" and by IVW with the performance values "Page Impression" and "Visits". These ranges and statistics can be viewed on the respective websites.

Legal Basis for Processing:

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

The purpose of the processing of personal data is the compilation of statistics and the creation of user categories. The statistics serve as an enabler to trace and document the use of our offer. The user categories form the basis for an interest-based adjustment of advertising media and/or advertising measures. For the marketing of this website a measurement, which guarantees a comparability to other market participants, is indispensable. Our legitimate interest arises from the economic usability of the findings from the statistics and user categories as well as 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 pseudonymous data available to INFOnline, AGOF, and IVW for market research purposes (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 appropriate advertising material.

Type of Data:

INFOnline GmbH collects the following data, which is personal data according to the EU GDPR:

o    IP address: On the internet, every device needs a unique address to transmit data, the so- called IP address. At least a short-term storage of the IP address is technically necessary due to the operating principle of the internet. The IP addresses are shortened by 1 byte before any processing and are only processed further in anonymized form. No storage or further processing of the non-shortened IP addresses takes place.

o    A randomly generated client identifier: The range processing uses either a cookie with the identification "ioam.de", a "Local Storage Object", or a signature that is created from various automatically transmitted information of your browser for the recognition of computer systems. This identification is unique for 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 call up other websites that also
use the measurement procedure ("SZMnG") of INFOnline GmbH. The cookie's validity is limited to a maximum of 1 year. 

Use of the 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 for page impressions, visits, and clients and to form further key figures (e.g., qualified clients). In addition, the measured data are used as follows:

o    A so-called geolocalization, i.e., the assignment of a web page view to the location of the view, takes place 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, which is obtained in this way, be used to draw conclusions about the specific location of a user.

o    The usage data of a technical client (e.g., a browser on a device) is combined across websites and stored in a database. This information is used for the technical estimation of the users age and gender and is passed on to the AGOF service providers for further range processing. Within the framework of the AGOF study, social characteristics are technically estimated on the basis of a random sample, which can be assigned to the following categories: Age, gender, nationality, professional activity, marital status, general household information, household income, place of residence, internet use, online interests, place of use, type of user.

Data Storage Time:

INFOnline GmbH does not store the complete IP address. The shortened IP address is stored for a maximum of 60 days. The usage data and the unique identifier are stored for a maximum of 6 months.

If you do not wish to participate in the measurement, you can object under the following link: https://optout.ioam.de. In order to guarantee an 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 using the above link.

The subject person has the right to file a complaint with a data protection authority.

You can find further information on data protection in the measurement procedure on the website of INFOnline GmbH (https://www.infonline.de/en/) which operates the measurement procedure, the data protection website of AGOF (http://www.agof.de/datenschutz-allgemein/?lang=en), and the data protection website of IVW (http://www.ivw.eu/englische-version).
