Cookies Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that we transfer to a computer’s hard drive through a web browser for record-keeping purposes. Some cookies allow us to make it easier for You to navigate our Services, while others are used to enable a faster log-in process or to allow us to track Your activities while using our Services. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but if You prefer, You can edit Your browser options to block them in the future. The Help portion of the toolbar on most browsers provides information about how to prevent a computer from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify upon receiving a new cookie, or how to disable cookies altogether. If You disable cookies, You may be able to browse certain areas of the Services, but some features may not function (e.g., You may not be able to stay logged into Your account).
Clear GIFs, pixel tags, and other technologies Clear GIFs are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies. In contrast to cookies, which are stored on a computer’s hard drive, clear GIFs are embedded invisibly on web pages. We may use clear GIFs (also referred to as web beacons, web bugs or pixel tags), in connection with our Services to, among other things, track Your activities, help us manage content, and compile statistics about usage of our Services. We and our service providers also use clear GIFs in HTML emails to You, to help us track email response rates, identify when our emails are viewed, and track whether our emails are forwarded.
Google AnalyticsThis website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; “Google”). The use includes the “Universal Analytics” operating mode. This facilitates the assignment of data, sessions and interactions across several devices to a pseudonymous user ID and thus the analysis of a user's activities across devices.
Google Analytics uses “cookies”, which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyze how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website (including your IP address) is usually transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States, a country that does not offer an equivalent level of protection of privacy to that applicable in the European Union. However, if IP anonymisation is activated on this website, Google will reduce your IP address within Member States of the European Union or in other states party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area beforehand, so that a direct connection to the individual user is eliminated. Google will truncate/anonymize the last octet of the IP address within Member States of the European Union or in other states parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases, the full IP address is sent to and shortened by Google servers in the USA.
On behalf of the website provider Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity for website operators and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage to the website provider. Google will not associate your IP address with any other data held by Google. Sessions and campaigns are terminated after a certain period of time. By default, sessions are closed after 30 minutes without activity and campaigns after six months. The time limit for campaigns may not exceed two years.
Please note that on this website IP anonymization is activated, i.e. the Google Analytics code is supplemented by “anonymizeIp” to ensure an anonymized collection of IP addresses (so called IP-masking).
Do Not Track Disclosure Our Services may not respond to Do Not Track signals. You can learn more about Do Not Track signals at http://www.allaboutdnt.com/. You may, however, disable certain tracking as discussed in the Cookies and Other Tracking Mechanisms section above (e.g., by disabling cookies).
Interest-Based Advertising We use third parties such as network advertisers to display advertisements on our Services, to assist us in displaying advertisements on third-party services, and to evaluate the success of our advertising campaigns. You may opt out of many third-party ad networks, including those operated by members of the Network Advertising Initiative (“NAI”) and the Digital Advertising Alliance (“DAA”). For more information regarding this practice by NAI members and DAA members, and Your choices regarding having this information used by these companies, including how to opt out of third-party ad networks operated by NAI and DAA members, please visit their respective websites: www.networkadvertising.org/optout_nonppii.asp (NAI) and www.aboutads.info/choices (DAA).
We have implemented a number of measures to help protect the personal information we collect. These measures include limiting access to personal information to employees with a need to access it and encrypting personal information provided through our Site using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology. Please note, however, that while we endeavor to keep our security measures up-to-date, no data security measures can guarantee complete security. In addition, there are steps that You can take to help protect personal information, including choosing a robust password for your device and/or account that nobody else knows or can easily guess and keeping Your log-in and password private. If an unauthorized third party compromises our security measures, Graphika is not responsible for any direct or indirect damages caused by such unauthorized party’s access, acquisition, or distribution of Your personal information. If You believe that Your personal information has been compromised, we encourage You to notify us immediately. You can also learn more about steps you can take to protect your Personal Information at https://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0272-how-keep-your-personal-information-secure.
Please note that we retain Personal Information about You - in accordance with our record retention policies - as required by law (e.g. under German law we are obliged to retain letters and emails for six years; documents relevant for tax purposes for ten years) or as required for the achievement of the purposes of the processing as mentioned above (e.g. to enforce any Agreements).
Right to information. Upon request, we will inform you in writing as to whether and, if so, what Personal Information we have stored about you. You may view your Personal Information at any time free of charge and request their rectification, erasure or the restriction of processing. You also have the right to receive the Personal Information we retain about you in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. Upon your request, we will transfer your Personal Information to another data controller. In order to exercise any of the rights mentioned in this section or should you have any questions regarding the processing of your Personal Information, please contact us at privacy@graphika.com. You may also contact our data protection officer at privacy@graphika.com who will be happy to provide any information you may require or deal with any suggestions or complaints you may have. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent data protection authority.
Opting out of processing. Where processing is based on your consent, you have a right to withdraw consent at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of the processing before withdrawal.
Opting out of Email Communications. Subject to your opt-in, we may send periodic promotional or informational emails to You. You may opt out of such communications by following the opt-out instructions contained in the email or contacting us at privacy@graphika.com. Please note that it may take up to 10 business days for us to process opt-out requests. If You opt out of receiving marketing emails from us, we may still send You non-promotional emails (e.g., about Your account with us).

If we discover that a child under thirteen has provided us with personal information, we will promptly delete such personal information from our systems.
