10. Important Notice Regarding Data Processing in Connection with Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited. If the entity responsible for processing the data collected by this website is based outside the European Economic Area and Switzerland, then the processing of data associated with Google Analytics will be carried out by Google LLC (headquartered in the United States). Google Ireland Limited and Google LLC are hereinafter referred to as “Google.” With regard to the use of Google Analytics, data processing is technically handled by Jimdo. In this regard, reference is hereby madeto the privacy policy of Squarespace, Inc. (225 Varick Street, 12th Floor, New York, NY 10014, USA), the operator of the website, which shares joint responsibility for data protection in connection with the use of Google Analytics on the website.

Google Analytics uses “cookies,” which are text files stored on a visitor’s computer, to analyze how visitors use the website. The information generated by the cookie (including the truncated IP address) regarding the use of the website is transmitted to and stored by Google.

Google Analytics is used exclusively with the "_anonymizeIp()" extension on this site. This extension ensures that IP addresses are anonymized by truncation, thereby preventing any direct personal identification. Thanks to this extension, Google truncates the IP address of visitors to the site who are located in a member state of the European Union or in another country that is a signatory to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. The visitor’s full IP address is transmitted to Google’s server and truncated in the United States only under exceptional circumstances. The IP address provided by the website visitor’s web browser when using Google Analytics will not be combined by Google with any other Google data.

On behalf of Jimdo and the website operator, Google uses the information collected to evaluate the use of the website, compile reports on website activity, and provide the website operator with other Internet services or services related to the website (Art. 6(1)(f) of the GDPR). The legitimate interest in processing the data is based on optimizing the website, analyzing its usage, and tailoring its content—all of which are made possible by Jimdo’s analytics feature. Users’ interests are duly protected through the pseudonymization of their data.

Google LLC guarantees an adequate level of data protection in accordance with the European Standard Contractual Clauses. Data sent and linked to Google Analytics cookies, such as the user ID and advertising ID, will be automatically deleted after 50 months. Data that has reached its retention period is automatically deleted once a month.

Website visitors can opt out of the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate option in their browser. They can also prevent Google from collecting information (including their IP address) through cookies and from processing that information by downloading the following plug-in and installing it in their web browser:https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
