Regarding Google Analytics™ Data Processing

This website uses "Google Analytics," a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited. If the entity responsible for data processing through this website is based outside the European Economic Area and Switzerland, the relevant data processing of Google Analytics is carried out by Google LLC. (Both Google Ireland Limited and Google LLC are referred to as "Google" hereafter.) Data processing in connection with connecting the website and Google Analytics is carried out by Jimdo. Please refer to Jimdo's privacy policy here (https://legal.jimdo.com/hc/en-us/articles/26840490952084-Jimdo-Data-Protection-Policy-for-Jimdo-com) and the privacy policy of KDDI Web Communications, which provides Jimdo in Japan, here (https://www.kddi-webcommunications.co.jp/privacy/).

Google Analytics uses "cookies," which are text files stored on visitors' computers, to help analyse how the website is used. Information generated by the cookie about the use of the website (including truncated IP addresses) is generally transmitted to and stored by Google.

On this website, Google Analytics is used exclusively with the extension "_anonymizeIp().". This extension ensures the anonymisation of IP addresses by truncation and excludes direct personal references. Through this extension, Google truncates the IP addresses of visitors from member states of the European Union or other parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. In exceptional cases only, the full IP address is transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. The IP address provided by the visitor's browser in connection with Google Analytics is not merged with other data from Google.

On behalf of the website operator, Google uses this information to evaluate the use of the website, compile reports on website activity, and provide other services related to website and internet usage to the website operator (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR). Legitimate interests in data processing lie in the optimisation of this website, analysis of website use, and adaptation of content. The interests of users are adequately safeguarded by pseudonymization of the data.

Google ensures an adequate level of data protection based on the European Standard contractual clauses. Data linked to cookies sent by Google Analytics (e.g., user IDs or advertising IDs) are automatically deleted after 50 months. Data deletion upon reaching the retention period is carried out automatically once a month.

Visitors can refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on their browser. Additionally, visitors can prevent Google from collecting and processing information generated by cookies (including their IP address) by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

Visitors can prevent data collection via "Google Analytics" on this website by clicking the cookie settings. An "opt-out cookie" will then be set to prevent future data collection when visiting this website.

For more details on Google's terms of use and privacy policy, please refer to Google Analytics' terms of use (https://www.google.com/analytics/terms/) and privacy policy (https://policies.google.com/).

According to the GDPR and related laws, visitors have specific rights regarding data processed by Google Analytics, including the right to access, correct, data portability, and deletion. Visitors also have the right to object to certain data processing. To exercise these rights concerning Google Analytics on this website, data subjects (visitors) can contact Jimdo ([email protected])or the website operator at any time.
