Privacy Policy
The protection of personal data is very important to us. Therefore, we try to avoid collecting this data as a matter of principle. However, we cannot avoid collecting data for the purpose of measuring political views and displaying advertisements on this website. You can find more information on this in the following sections:
- ⇓ General information
- ⇓ Collection of IP addresses
- ⇓ Use of cookies
- ⇓ Use of AdSense advertisements
- ⇓ Use of Google Analytics
- ⇓ Information, deletion and blocking of personal data
We collect data such as a person's political views and ask for their age and gender, without collecting any further data that could identify a person. Emails you send to us may contain personal data. This could be contact details at the end of your email, for example. We also use advertising from Adsense, which uses cookies. In addition, we receive an IP address with every website request and every website visit.
↥ General information
On our website, we measure political attitudes using a series of questions. To do this, we collect data on age and gender. The data collected is directly collated with data on the respective age group and gender. This allows us to avoid storing individual data records and means that we cannot restore them at a later date.
If, for example, you contact us by e-mail and we receive personal data in this way, we assure you that we will not pass this data on to third parties and that we will delete the data and e-mail promptly after completing the process, for example, responding to your enquiry. This includes, of course, the e-mail address itself, as well as the contact details in your e-mail signature.
Please note that the information sent may be intercepted and misused by third parties. This applies in particular when using public networks that you can access in cafés, hotels or even on public transport.
↥ Collection of IP addresses
It is essential to record the IP address sent, as this is the address to which the requested pages and data are returned. Without an IP address, you would not receive any data on the Internet. The IP address of all users of our website is stored in the log files of our web host for one to two days after each access and then deleted. The IP address can generally be used to determine the location of the respective user. You can prevent this by using VPN connections or, for example, the Tor browser, as this will send us a neutral IP address from which the data is forwarded to you. In addition, most telecommunications providers assign a new IP address each time you dial in, and at least once a day, making it difficult to track you.
↥ Use of cookies
We use cookies on this website to save the settings you have made on the website. You can delete these cookies via your browser settings. In addition, we store in the cookie whether you have allowed cookies to be stored.
We use Google AdSense advertising to finance the website. By visiting our website, you agree to the use of advertising on the website. Google uses cookies and web beacons to personalise advertising.
Cookies are text files that contain information from websites, such as the current settings on the website. Websites can also store IDs that can identify the computer the next time the website is visited. This can be used by Google and AdSense to personalise advertisements. Web beacons are usually 1×1 pixel, mostly transparent images that are displayed on a website. When this image is loaded, information such as the frequency of visitors to a website is communicated to AdSense, for example.
↥ Use of AdSense advertisements
We use Adsense advertising to finance our website. By visiting our website, you agree to the display of advertising.
AdSense uses cookies and web beacons to display user-specific advertising. This information is transmitted to Google Inc. Google Inc. is based at 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. You can prevent cookies from being stored by adjusting your browser settings accordingly. Google declares that it does not combine the collected data and will not do so in the future. However, the data may be passed on to Google's business partners.
↥ Use of Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics on our website to better understand our visitors. Google Analytics stores a cookie on your computer to better track the respective user. The information collected is transmitted to Google Inc. at 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. There, the data is enriched with further information for better analysis.
IP anonymisation is active in Google Analytics. This means that the last digits of IP addresses are set to zero (the last octet for IPv4 and the last 10 bytes for IPv6) and no complete IP addresses are stored. This is mandatory for all visitors from a member state of the European Union or the European Economic Area (EEA). In principle, this procedure takes place within the European Union, but in exceptional cases, a complete IP address may also be transferred to the USA and only shortened there.
↥ Information, deletion and blocking of personal data
If we have personal data about you for any reason, for example because we have been in contact by email and have received it in this way, you can obtain information about this data at any time and request its deletion, unless this is contrary to legal regulations.
