Our analytics does not store any personal information or specific ip addresses and we do not have access to this kind of data via Google Analytics. Our user and event data retention is set to “Do Not Automatically Expire”. We do not sell this data to any third parties.
We do however maintain the right to give reports on our website traffic to potential advertising sponsors. These sponsors want to see how much traffic our website generates, in order to see if they are willing to sponsor us to put a banner ad of their company or product on our website. At no point will they have access to the Google Analytics account, they will simply be shown PDF reports, provided by us. Again these reports will at no point contain any personal information (as we don’t have or hold this kind of information to begin with).It will simply be the amount of clicks to the website and specific pages, as well as a general country overview of all visitors.

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 plugin. This constitutes a justified interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) DSGVO.
If your browser does not support web fonts, a standard font is used by your computer.

Additional information
How we protect your data
We use the best security protocols to our knowledge to prevent hacks from occuring to our website, as we naturally don’t want this happening in the first place. We however cannot guarantee that a hack will never happen, as website around the world are constantly targeted by bots and hackers. To make sure we make it has hard for them as possible, login passwords are all required to be of a high difficulty level to avoid brute force attacks.
Online Payment Gateways
At no point do we store credit card information on our website or database. We feel it safer to let professional companies like PayPal and/or 2Checkout handle all transactions. Their security protocols are far better than ours, which means your credit card information is in much better hands. We accept payments through PayPal. When processing payments, some of your data will be passed to PayPal, including information required to process or support the payment, such as the purchase total and billing information. Please see the PayPal Privacy Policy for more details.
When buying a product via the checkout page, you are sent to the respective 3rd party payment gateway to enter your credit card details. Once they have verified the payment, they send confirmation back to our online store, telling us that payment has been received and we can ship your order. The only information we store about you for purchases, is your user account information, being your name, email address, physical address (if required) and telephone number (if required).
