The data collected in this way is not merged with your other profile information, but is included in anonymous statistics that help us to get to know our users better and to better adapt the website to their needs.

3.5 Google Analytics Remarking

Our websites use the functions of Google Analytics Remarketing in conjunction with the cross-device functions of Google AdWords and Google DoubleClick. The provider is Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

For information on the possible transfer to third countries (USA), please refer to section 6.3.

This function makes it possible to link the advertising target groups created with Google Analytics Remarketing with the cross-device functions of Google AdWords and Google DoubleClick. In this way, interest-based, personalized advertising messages that have been adapted to you depending on your previous usage and surfing behavior on one end device (e.g. cell phone) can also be displayed on another of your end devices (e.g. tablet or PC).

If you have given your consent, Google will link your web and app browsing history with your Google account for this purpose. In this way, the same personalized advertising messages can be displayed on every device on which you log in with your Google account.

To support this feature, Google Analytics collects Google-authenticated IDs of users, which are temporarily linked to our Google Analytics data to define and create target groups for cross-device ad advertising.

The aggregation of the collected data in your Google account is based solely on your consent, which you can give or revoke at Google (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO).

In the case of data collection processes that are not merged in your Google account (e.g. because you do not have a Google account or have objected to the merging), the data is only collected on the basis of your express consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. a DSGVO.

Further information and the data protection provisions can be found in Google's privacy policy at: https://www.google.com/policies/technologies/ads/.

3.6 IP-anonymization

We have activated the "IP anonymization" function. This means that your IP address is shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area before being transmitted to the USA.

On behalf of the operator of this website and this app, Google will process the information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage 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 tool can be used to track the behavior of page visitors after they have been redirected to the provider's website by clicking on a Facebook ad. This allows the effectiveness of the Facebook ads to be evaluated for statistical and market research purposes and future advertising measures to be optimized.

You are free to exchange your experiences with other users in groups and to share content here. In doing so, you yourself determine which information you would like to share with the other group members. The data processing is thus based on Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. a DSGVO. If you leave a group, your contributions will not be deleted.

You can do this deletion yourself within your profile or send us a deletion request by email to info@hunterco.de.

4.4 Payment processing for the use of the app by Stripe

The execution and thus the collection, processing and storage of electronic payment transaction data is carried out by our payment service provider, Stripe Payments Europe Ltd, Block 4, Harcourt Centre, Harcourt Road, Dublin 2, Ireland ("Stripe"). Through Stripe, it is possible to offer various payment methods, such as credit card payments or direct debit.

For each payment transaction, Stripe receives data for the processing of electronic payment transactions, such as the information you provided during the order process together with information about your order (name, address, account number, bank code, credit card number, if applicable, invoice amount, currency and transaction number). The processing of your data by Stripe is necessary for payment processing and thus for the execution of the contract. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. b DSGVO. This data will be deleted after expiry of the statutory retention obligations. Stripe processes your personal data on our behalf and within the scope of our instructions as a so-called order processor pursuant to Art. 28 DSGVO.

The service provider Stripe used by us in this context, which processes personal data on our behalf and within the scope of our instructions as a so-called order processor pursuant to Art. 28 DSGVO, transmits data to group companies in the USA. The level of data protection in the USA is assessed by the European Commission as not adequate. The transfer of data to the USA therefore takes place on the basis of the standard contractual clauses pursuant to Art. 46 Para. 2 lit. c DSGVO. The standard contractual clauses are available at https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/DE/TXT/HTML/?uri=CELEX:32010D0087&from=DE; alternatively, you can also request these documents from us using the contact options specified in Section 2.

5. Use of order processors

To fulfill our contractual obligations, we rely on the services of carefully selected third parties who process the data on our behalf. These are in each case order processors with whom we have concluded an agreement in accordance with Art. 28 DSGVO. In addition, we naturally ensure in advance that our processors comply with all data protection regulations, so that your data is always secure.

6. Transmission to third countries

We generally only process your personal data in a third country (i.e. outside the European Union (EU) or the European Economic Area (EEA)) if it is necessary for the fulfillment of our (pre)contractual obligations (pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO), on the basis of your consent (pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO), due to a legal obligation (pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c DSGVO) or on the basis of our legitimate interests (pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO). The same applies, for processing by third parties on our behalf, the disclosure of your personal data to third parties as well as their transmission to third parties.

Subject to legal or contractual permissions, we process or allow data to be processed in a third country only if the special requirements of Art. 44 et seq. DSGVO are met. This means, for example, that the processing takes place on the basis of special guarantees, such as the officially recognized determination of a level of data protection that corresponds to the EU or compliance with officially recognized special contractual obligations (so-called "standard contractual clauses").

6.1 Microsoft Azure

We would like to point out that in the opinion of the European Court of Justice, there is currently no adequate level of protection for data transfers to the USA. The transfer of data to the USA therefore takes place on the basis of the standard contractual clauses pursuant to 46 para. 2 lit. c DSGVO. The standard contractual clauses are available at https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/international-dimension-data-protection/standard-contractual-clauses-scc_en.

We would like to point out that, in the opinion of the European Court of Justice, there is currently no adequate level of protection for data transfers to the USA.

We would like to point out that in the opinion of the European Court of Justice, there is currently no adequate level of protection for data transfers to the USA. The data transfer to the USA therefore takes place on the basis of the standard contractual clauses pursuant to 46 (2) lit. c DSGVO, unless your express consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. a DSGVO has been obtained. The standard contractual clauses are available at https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/international-dimension-data-protection/standard-contractual-clauses-scc_en.
