The logged information will be deleted as soon as it is no longer necessary to achieve the purpose of its survey. In the case of storing the data in log files, this is the case after no longer than seven days. An additional storage is possible. In this case, the IP addresses of the users are deleted or alienated, so that an assignment to the calling client is no longer possible.

The legal basis for processing personal data necessary to carry out cookie-based electronic communication processes is Article 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO/GDPR.

Insofar as other cookies are stored, in particular for the purpose of analyzing user behavior, these will be treated separately in this privacy policy.

7. Newsletter

If you, in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sent. 1 lit. a DSGVO/GDPR, have expressly consented, we will use your email address to send you regular newsletters. For the receipt of the newsletter the indication of an email address is sufficient.

Credentials: To subscribe to the newsletter, it is sufficient to provide your e-mail address. Optionally, we ask you to give a name in the newsletter for personal address.

Logout: Opt-out, ie. revocation of your consent, is possible at any time, for example via a link at the end of each newsletter. Alternatively, you are welcome to send your unsubscribe request to datenschutz@cryptovision.com by e-mail at any time.

Double opt-in and logging: Registration for our newsletter is done in a so-called double-opt-in procedure. This means that after registration you will receive an email asking you to confirm your registration. This confirmation prevents that somebody registers with an email address he or she does not own. The registration for the newsletter will be logged in order to prove the registration process according to the legal requirements. This includes the storage of the login and confirmation times, as well as the IP address. Likewise, changes to your data stored with the shipping service provider will be logged.

The logging of the registration process is based on our legitimate interests in accordance with. art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO/GDPR. We are interested in using a user-friendly and secure newsletter system, which serves our business interests as well as the users’ expectations and allows us to prove our consent.

 

8. Newsletter service provider

Our newsletter is sent by our e-mail service provider (Inxmail GmbH, Wentzingerstr. 17, D-79106 Freiburg / GERMANY), whose data protection regulations can be viewed under the following link. The use of the e-mail service provider is based on our legitimate interest acc. Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO/GDPR and a order data processing agreement acc. Art. 28 para 3 sentence 1 DSGVO/GDPR. The newsletter service provider may use the data of the recipient in a pseudonymised form to optimize or improve their own services. However, the e-mail service provider does not use the data of our newsletter recipients to address them themselves or to pass the data on to third parties.

 

9. Newsletter – measurement of success

The newsletters contain a so-called web beacon or tracking pixel, i.e. a pixel-sized file that is retrieved from our server (or from the one of our shipping service provider) when the newsletter is opened. For the evaluations, we link the data collected automatically when you visit the website (see “Collection of log data” above) and the web beacons with your e-mail address and an individual ID. This information is used to technically improve the services based on the technical data or the target groups and their reading behaviour based on their retrieval locations (which can be determined using the IP address) or access times. The statistical surveys also include determining whether the newsletters are opened, when they are opened and which links are clicked. For technical reasons, this information can be assigned to the individual newsletter recipients. However, it is not our intention, nor that of the shipping service provider, to observe individual users. The evaluations serve us much more to recognize the reading habits of our users and to adapt our contents to them or to send different contents according to the interests of our users.

 

10. Integration of services and content of third parties

We use third-party content and service offerings within our websites to integrate their content and services, such as videos or maps.

The integration is based on our legitimate interest (i.e. interest in the analysis, optimization and economic operation of our online offer within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 letter f). DSGVO/DGPR). The prerequisite for this is the transmission of the IP address in order to be able to send the respective contents to the browser. Third-party providers may also use so-called pixel tags (invisible graphics, also known as “web beacons”) for statistical or marketing purposes. Pixel tags” can be used to evaluate information such as visitor traffic on the pages of this website. The pseudonymous information may also be stored in cookies on the user’s device and, among other things, contain technical information about the browser and operating system, referring websites, visiting time and other information about the use of our online offer, as well as be linked to such information from other sources.

The processed data may include in particular IP addresses and location data of the users, which, however, are not collected without their consent (as a rule within the framework of the settings of their mobile devices). The data can be processed in the USA. Privacy Policy: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/, Opt-Out: https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated.
