The legal basis for the recording of server log files is Art. 6 para. 1 letter f GDPR. The functionality of the website, the performance of security analyses, and the prevention of attacks are the legitimate interests of Holoswitch.

After the websites have been accessed, the server log files are stored on the web server, and the IP address they contain is deleted after 7 days at the latest. The data is only evaluated during this storage period in the event of an attack.
3.1.4 Possibility of objection and erasure
You have the right to object to the processing of your data in the context of server logfiles, if there are reasons for this which arise from your particular situation. If you wish to exercise your right of objection, please contact us at the address given under Section 1.

3.3 Web-tracking
Services that optimize user-friendliness and measure the reach of the website are built into the website. Your access data (see Section 2) is recorded. Personal identification is generally not necessary for web-tracking, so that when your access data is recorded, the stored IP address is either not used or only used in truncated form, and pseudonymous user profiles are created. This data is not merged with other data and you have the possibility of revocation at any time. Personal user profiles are only created in exceptional cases and only if you have given your consent. The web-tracking services are usually offered by service providers who process the data in accordance with the controller’s instructions only and not for their own purposes, as so-called processors. This is ensured by means of contracts for processing. If the service providers process your data outside of the European Union or the European Economic Area (hereinafter referred to as “EU or EEA”), a so-called third country transfer takes place. This is permissible if you have given your consent, Holoswitch has given guarantees for a level of data protection that meets European standards, or the EU Commission has classified the relevant third country as a safe third country. The third country transfer of the relevant service is identified below. The individual web-tracking services of the website are described in more detail below.
The website uses the services of Google Analytics. Google Analytics is provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Google Analytics creates a pseudonymous user profile to optimize the user-friendliness of the website. Pseudonymity is ensured by Google truncating your IP address prior to any further processing and storage of data, and it is not possible to draw any conclusions about you as a person. The pseudonymous user profile is evaluated after transmission in order to optimize user-friendliness. The data is not merged with any other Google data. Through the use of Google Analytics, a third country transfer takes place. However, with its certification in accordance with the EU-US Privacy Shield, Google ensures that the third country transfer meets the European data protection standards. More information about the ways in which Google Analytics collect and process your Personal Information can be found here: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners.
3.3.1.1 Purposes and legal basis of data processing
The legal basis for the recording and evaluation of pseudonymous user profiles is Art. 6 para. 1 letter f GDPR. The legitimate interests of Holoswitch consist of optimizing the user-friendliness of the website and measuring its reach.
3.3.1.2 Duration of storage or criteria for determining this duration
As regards the use of Google Analytics on this website, the data is stored for a maximum of 14 months or until you object to its further use.
3.3.1.3 Possibility of objection and erasure
You can object to the use of the web-tracking services any time by changing your browser settings or by clicking the following link/s to download and install the available browser plug-ins: You can prevent Google’s forwarding and processing the data generated by the cookie and relating to your use of the website (incl. your IP address) by downloading and installing the following browser add-on Opt-out cookies will prevent your data from being recorded in the future when you visit this website. To prevent the recording by Universal Analytics across different devices, the opt-out must be undertaken on all systems used. If you click here, the opt-out cookie will be installed: deactivate Google Analytics.
3.3.1.4 Web fonts
This website uses web fonts provided by Google in order to uniformly represent fonts. When you open a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into your browser cache to display texts and fonts correctly. For this purpose, your browser has to establish a direct connection to Google servers. Google thus becomes aware that our web page was accessed via your IP address. The use of Google Web fonts is done in the interest of a uniform and attractive presentation of our website. This constitutes a justified interest pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 letter f GDPR. If your browser does not support web fonts, a standard font is used by your computer.

3.3.2 Facebook-Pixel, Custom Audiences und Facebook-Conversion
Due to our legitimate interests in the analysis, optimisation and economic operation of our online service, the so-called “Facebook pixel” of the social network Facebook, which is operated by Facebook Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA, or if you are resident in the EU, Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland (“Facebook”), is used within our online service. Facebook is certified under the Privacy Shield Agreement and thus offers a guarantee of compliance with European data protection law (https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt0000000GnywAAC&status=Active). With the help of the Facebook pixel, Facebook is able to determine the visitors of our online offer as a target group for the presentation of ads (so-called “Facebook ads”). Accordingly, we use Facebook pixels to display Facebook ads placed by us only to Facebook users who have shown an interest in our online offering or who have certain features (e.g. interests in certain topics or products that are determined on the basis of the websites visited) that we transmit to Facebook (so-called “custom audiences”). Using Facebook pixels, we also want to ensure that our Facebook ads match the potential interest of users and are not annoying. Using Facebook pixels, we can also track the effectiveness of Facebook ads for statistical and market research purposes by seeing if users were referred to our website after clicking on a Facebook ad (known as “conversion”). Facebook processes the data in accordance with Facebook’s data usage policy. Accordingly, general information on the presentation of Facebook ads in Facebook’s data usage policy: https://www.facebook.com/policy.php. Specific information and details about Facebook pixels and how they work can be found in the help section of Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/business/help/651294705016616. You may opt out of Facebook pixel collection and use of your information to display Facebook ads. To control what types of ads you see within Facebook, you can go to the page set up by Facebook and follow the instructions on the settings for usage-based ads: https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=ads. The settings are platform-independent, i.e. they are applied to all devices, such as desktop computers or mobile devices. You may also opt out of the use of cookies to measure reach and for advertising purposes via the Network Advertising Initiative’s opt-out page (http://optout.networkadvertising.org/) and the U.S. website (http://www.aboutads.info/choices) or the European website (http://www.youronlinechoices.com/uk/your-ad-choices/).

6. Will my data be processed outside the EU or the EEA (third country transfer)?
If the service providers and/or third parties outside of the EU or the EEA which are specified under Section 5 process your data for the purposes of Section 3, this may result in your data being transferred to a country where no data protection standard commensurate with that of the EU or the EEA can be guaranteed. However, such a data protection standard can be ensured with an appropriate guarantee. Suitable guarantees are, for example, standard contractual clauses provided by the EU Commission. By way of exception, guarantees may be dispensed with if you give your consent or if the transfer of data to a third country is necessary to achieve your purpose with Holoswitch. Also, the EU Commission has recognised certain third countries as safe third countries, so that here too appropriate guarantees on the part of Holoswitch can be dispensed with.
