DEFINITIONS

Our privacy policy should be simple and understandable for everyone. As a rule, the official terms of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) are used in this privacy policy. The official definitions are explained in Art. 4 GDPR.

 

ACCESS TO AND STORAGE OF INFORMATION IN TERMINAL EQUIPMENT

By using our website, information (e.g. IP address) may be accessed or information (e.g. cookies) may be stored in your end devices. This access or storage may involve further processing of personal data within the meaning of the GDPR.

In cases in which such access to information or such storage of information is absolutely necessary for the technically error-free provision of our services, this is done on the basis of § 25 para. 1 sentence 1, para. 2 no. 2 TTDSG.

In cases in which such a process serves other purposes (e.g. the needs-based design of our website), this is only carried out on the basis of Section 25 (1) TTDSG with your consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR. Consent can be revoked at any time for the future. The provisions of the GDPR and the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) apply to the processing of your personal data. Further information on the processing of your personal data and the relevant legal bases in this context can be found in the following sections on the specific processing activities on our website.

‍

WEBHOSTING.

This website is hosted by an external service provider. We must clarify the hosting of this website with Dominik. Personal data collected on this website is stored on the hoster’s servers. This may include IP addresses, contact requests, meta and communication data, website access and other data generated via a website.

Hosting is the responsibility of MiZei GmbH for the technical provision of the website.

We collect the data listed in order to ensure a smooth connection to the website and the technically error-free provision of our services. The processing of this data is absolutely necessary in order to make the website available to you. The legal basis for the processing of the data is our legitimate interest in the correct presentation and functionality of our website in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

We have concluded an order processing contract with the provider in accordance with the requirements of Art. 28 GDPR, in which we oblige the provider to protect our customers’ data and not to pass it on to third parties.

 

SERVER LOG FILES

When you access our website, it is technically necessary for data to be transmitted to our web server via your Internet browser. The following data is recorded during an ongoing connection for communication between your Internet browser and our web server:

  • Date and time of the request
  • Web browser and/or version used (e.g. Internet Explorer, Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge, etc.)
  • Browser settings
  • Operating system used (e.g. Windows, Android, Chrome OS, Ios, MacOS, Linux, etc.)
  • Page from which the file was requested (so-called referrer URL)
  • the amount of data transferred and the access status (file transferred, file not found, etc.)
  • and (complete) IP address (host name of the accessing computer).

We collect the data listed in order to ensure a smooth connection to the website and the technically error-free provision of our services. The processing of this data is absolutely necessary in order to make the website available to you. The log files are used to evaluate system security and stability as well as for administrative purposes. The legal basis for the processing of the data is our legitimate interest in the protection and functionality of our website in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. For reasons of technical security, in particular to defend against attempted attacks on our web server, this data is stored by us for a short period of time. After 12 months at the latest, the data is anonymized by shortening the IP address at domain level so that it is no longer possible to establish a reference to the individual user.

The data may be processed in anonymized form for statistical purposes. At no time is this data stored together with other personal data of the user, compared with other databases or passed on to third parties.

 

COOKIES

Our website uses so-called “cookies”. Cookies are small text files that are either stored temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (permanent cookies) on your end device. Session cookies are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Permanent cookies remain stored on your end device until you delete them yourself or they are automatically deleted by your web browser. Cookies have various functions. Many cookies are technically necessary, as certain website functions would not work without them (e.g. the shopping cart function or language settings). Other cookies are used to evaluate user behavior or display advertising.

The processing of data through the use of strictly necessary cookies is based on a legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR in the technically error-free provision of our services. For details on the processing purposes and legitimate interests, please refer to the information on the specific data processing.

The processing of personal data through the use of other cookies is based on consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. Consent can be revoked at any time for the future. If such cookies are used for analysis and optimization purposes, we will inform you about this separately in the context of this data protection declaration and obtain your consent in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR.

You can set your browser so that you be informed about the setting of cookies, only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general

activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. You can also manage cookies from many companies and functions that are used for advertising individually. To do this, use the relevant user tools, available at https://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or http://www.youronlinechoices.com/uk/your-ad-choices.

Most browsers also offer a so-called “do-not-track function”. If this function is activated, the respective browser informs advertising networks, websites and applications that you do not wish to be “tracked” for the purpose of behavior-based advertising and the like.

For information and instructions on how to edit this function, please refer to the following links, depending on your browser provider:

  • Google Chrome
  • Mozilla Firefox
  • Edge (Microsoft)
  • Safari
  • Opera

You can also prevent scripts from loading by default. “NoScript” only allows the execution of JavaScripts, Java and other plug-ins on trusted domains of your choice. Information and instructions on how to edit this function can be obtained from the provider of your browser (e.g. for Mozilla Firefox at: https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/noscript/).

Please note that the functionality of our website may be restricted if cookies are deactivated.

 

CHANGE COOKIE SETTINGS

You can revoke or change your cookie settings at any time. To do this, call up the cookie settings again using our integrated button. You can find this at any time at the bottom left of the website.

 

CONSENT MANAGEMENT TOOL (USERCENTRICS)

We use the software solution from Usercentrics GmbH, Sendlinger Straße 7, 80331 Munich, Germany, to manage cookies and the integration of third-party services in compliance with data protection regulations.

When you visit our website, the following data is processed for this purpose Consent data (consent ID, consent number, time stamp of consent, opt-in or opt-out, language of the banner, user settings), device data (http agent, http referrer), the IP address and location information.

With Usercentrics, we provide you with a so-called cookie banner, which you can use to give us your consent to the use of cookies and the integration of third-party services. The cookie banner informs you about the use of cookies when you first visit our website and asks for your consent to the use of cookies and the integration of third-party services. Until you give your consent, all non-essential cookies and the integration of third-party services that we use on our website are automatically blocked. You can use the cookie banner to reject unwanted cookies and the integration of third-party services and still continue to use the website.

The collection of data through the use of Usercentrics is necessary in order to comply with the legal requirements of data protection law. We do not use the user data collected through the use of Usercentrics to create user profiles. The legal basis for the processing is our legitimate interest in observing the rejection of cookies or the integration of third-party services and/or the revocation of your consent to the use of cookies in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR.

The data collected will be stored until you ask us to delete it or the purpose for data storage no longer applies. Mandatory statutory retention periods remain unaffected. Details on data processing by Usercentrics can be found at https://usercentrics.com/de/datenschutzerklaerung/.

 

RUDDERSTACK

To ensure the lawful use of tracking services such as analysis and marketing services, we use the tracking proxy function of the Customer Data Platform (CDP) of RudderStack, Inc, 96 S. Park Street, San Francisco 94107, USA.

With the help of the tracking proxy function, we can avoid direct access to users’ end devices by the third-party providers we use and ensure complete control over individual data parameters when communicating with websites by restricting access for third-party providers and setting conditions for the transfer of data to third-party providers.

To use the tracking proxy function of the RudderStack CDP, we use so-called first-party cookies, which we store on your end device to recognize you and with the help of which we collect information from your end device. For this purpose, your browser is assigned a randomly generated identification number (cookie ID/device ID).

The end device is accessed exclusively from the domain of the web server “Pangaea Life” or by a data instance of “Pangaea Life” within the RudderStack CDP. Using the tracking proxy function of the RudderStack CDP, we process the information generated about the use of our website by your end device, as well as access data for the purposes of reducing the third-party providers integrated on the website to a provider bound by instructions, avoiding end device access by third-party domains, complete control over individual data points collected from end devices, reducing data points in our own database to ensure legal compliance of subsequent processing, and control over the transfer of data points by setting conditions to third-party providers.

The access data includes in particular

  • complete URLs and page titles
  • unique cookie ID/device ID
  • user agent
  • IP address

The RudderStack CDP tracking proxy function is used without consent in accordance with the provision in Section 25 (2) No. 2 TTDSG. The legal basis for the processing of your data is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR. Our legitimate interests correspond to the aforementioned purposes of the tracking proxy function of the RudderStack CDP.

The storage period of the first-party cookies and the cookie ID/device ID for recognizing users’ end devices is up to 60 days, depending on which of the use cases described below the RudderStack CDP is used for. Insofar as RudderStack, Inc. also processes your data in the USA, there is no adequacy decision by the EU Commission for any data transfer to the USA. We have therefore agreed standard contractual clauses with RudderStack, Inc., which are provided by the EU Commission in order to oblige RudderStack, Inc. to comply with an appropriate level of data protection.

Further information on data protection at RudderStack can be found at https://www.rudderstack.com/privacy-policy/

AMAZON CLOUDFRONT

We use the Amazon CloudFront content delivery network (CDN) from Amazon Web Services EMEA SARL, 38 avenue John F. Kennedy, L-1855 Luxembourg (AWS) to increase the security and speed of content delivery on our website. A CDN is a network of [globally] distributed servers that is able to deliver optimized content to the website user. For this purpose, personal data may be processed in server log files by AWS. In addition, we store anonymized log files in order to optimize the stability and security of our website.

Among other things, Amazon collects data on

  • IP address,
  • the website accessed,
  • referrer URL,
  • the browser used and
  • the operating system used.

In addition, Amazon stores some data on its servers outside the EU when users from a non-EU country access a website with Amazon CDN. AWS is the recipient of your personal data and acts as a processor for us.

The legal basis is your voluntary consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. You can change your consent at any time by adjusting your cookie settings.

 

The functionality of the website is not guaranteed without the processing.

 

Your personal data will be stored by AWS for as long as is necessary for the purposes described.

 

Further information on objection and removal options vis-à-vis AWS can be found at: https://d1.awsstatic.com/legal/privacypolicy/AWS_Privacy_Notice__German_Translation.pdf

 

Since personal data may be transferred to the USA, further protective mechanisms are required to ensure the level of data protection required by the GDPR. To ensure this, we have agreed standard data protection clauses with the provider in accordance with Art. 46 para. 2 lit. c GDPR. These oblige the recipient of the data in the USA to process the data in accordance with the level of protection in Europe. In cases where this cannot be ensured even by this contractual extension, we endeavor to obtain additional regulations and assurances from the recipient in the USA.

AWS has implemented compliance measures for international data transfers. These apply to all global activities where AWS processes personal data of natural persons in the EU. These measures are based on the EU Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs). Further information can be found at: https://d1.awsstatic.com/legal/aws-gdpr/AWS_GDPR_DPA.pdf

 

CONTACT FORM AND CONTACT BY E-MAIL

If you send us inquiries via the contact form or email, your details from the inquiry form or your email, including the personal data you provide there, will be stored by us in order to process the inquiry and in the event of follow-up questions. It is necessary to provide an e-mail address to contact us; providing your first name, surname and telephone number is voluntary.  We will never pass on this data without your consent. The legal basis for processing the data is our legitimate interest in responding to your request in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR and, if applicable, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR if your request is aimed at concluding a contract. Your data will be deleted after final processing of your request, provided that there are no legal storage obligations to the contrary. In the case of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, you can object to the processing of your personal data at any time.

Google will use this information on behalf of the operator of this website to evaluate your use of the website and to compile reports on website activity. Google will also use this information to provide other services related to the use of the website and the internet to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other data from Google. The processing is carried out based on your consent according to Art. 6 (1)(a) GDPR.
We only use Google Analytics with IP anonymization enabled, meaning that your IP address is only processed in truncated form by Google.
We have entered into a data processing agreement with the service provider, obliging them to protect our customers’ data and not to pass it on to third parties.
Since personal data may be transferred to the USA, additional protection mechanisms are required to ensure the data protection level of the GDPR. To achieve this, we have entered into standard contractual clauses with the provider according to Art. 46 (2)(c) GDPR. These obligate the recipient of the data in the USA to process the data according to the data protection level in Europe. In cases where compliance cannot be ensured through this contractual extension, we strive to obtain additional regulations and assurances from the recipient in the USA.

https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/

Data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required for its collection purposes. Data associated with cookies, user IDs (e.g., user-ID), and advertising IDs (e.g., DoubleClick cookies, Android advertising ID, IDFA [Apple identifier for advertisers]) will be deleted no later than 14 months after collection.
You can prevent the storage of cookies by adjusting your browser settings accordingly. However, we would like to point out that, in this case, you may not be able to use all the functions of this website to their full extent. You can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) and from processing this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en.
