§ 4   Use of the blog functions
(1) In my blogs, in which I and, as the case may be, other authors publish various contributions on topics related to my activities and fields of research, you can make public comments. Your comment will be published with your username. I recommend to use a pseudonym instead of your clear name. It is necessary to provide your username and e-mail address, all other information is voluntary. If you make a comment, I will continue to store your IP address, which I will delete after one week. The storage is necessary for me in order to be able to defend myself against liability claims in cases of a possible publication of illegal contents. I need your e-mail address in order to contact you if a third party should object to your comment as unlawful. Legal bases are Art. 6(1)(1)(b),(f) GDPR. The comments will not be reviewed before publication. I reserve the right to delete comments if they are found illegal by third parties.
(2) Equally, I reserve the right to delete comments that are not related to the respective blog contribution.
(3) My blog «Lions on the Move» is hosted by WordPress. WordPress is offered by the WordPress Foundation, 660 4th Street, Box 119, San Francisco, CA 94107, United States of America. Therefore, when visiting this blog and commenting on blog posts, personal data within the meaning of § 3 of this statement (especially e-mail address and IP address for comments) is transferred to the WordPress Foundation and stored there, i.e. in the United States of America. A comparison of your comment with the so-called Gravatar database does not take place. Since the WordPress Foundation collects the data in particular via cookies, I recommend that you delete all cookies via the security settings of your browser before calling up my blog «Lions on the Move».
(4) I have no influence on the collected data and data processing operations, nor am I aware of the full scope of data collection, the purposes of processing, the storage periods. Also for the deletion of the collected data by the WordPress Foundation no information is available to me.
(5) The WordPress Foundation stores the data collected about you as user profiles and uses these for the purposes of advertising, market research and/or the needs-based design of its website. Such an evaluation takes place in particular (also for users who are not logged in) in order to display demand-oriented advertising and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on my website. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, whereby you must contact the WordPress Foundation to exercise this right. Through the integration of WordPress I offer you the possibility to interact with social networks and other users, so that I can improve my offer and make it more interesting for you as a user. The legal basis for the use of WordPress is Art. 6(1)(1)(f) GDPR.
(6) The data transfer takes place regardless of whether you have an account with the WordPress Foundation and are logged in there. If you are logged in at the WordPress Foundation, your data will be directly assigned to your existing account at the WordPress Foundation. I recommend that you log out regularly after using a social network, including WordPress, but especially before visiting my blog «Lions on the Move», as this will help you avoid being assigned to your WordPress Foundation profile.
(7) Further information on the purpose and scope of the data collection and processing by the WordPress Foundation as well as on your rights in this regard and setting options for the protection of your privacy can be found online at https://wordpress.org/about/privacy/.

With Disqus, you can post a comment to the postings on my blogs that will be stored and displayed as long as the commented post is online on my site, unless you delete the comment first. You can use the comment function unregistered as a guest or as a registered user of Disqus on all websites using Disqus. In addition, you can log in via your third-party accounts Facebook, Twitter or Google. If you register using the access data of a third party provider, they will also process your personal data, although I do not know the details.

(1) With your consent, you can subscribe to my newsletters, with which I inform you about my current interesting offers and/or certain topics and/or new publications by me or by third parties selected by me. The goods and services advertised are specified in the respective declaration of consent.
(2) For the registration to my newsletters I use the so-called double-opt-in procedure. This means that after your registration I will send you an e-mail to the given e-mail address in which I will ask you to confirm that you wish to receive the newsletter. If you do not confirm your registration within 24 hours, your information will be blocked and automatically deleted after one month. In addition, I save the IP addresses you use and the dates of registration and confirmation. The purpose of the procedure is to prove your registration and, if necessary, to clarify any possible misuse of your personal data.

After your confirmation I will save your e-mail address for the purpose of sending you the newsletters. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(1)(a) GDPR.

(5) I would like to point out that I evaluate your user behaviour when sending the newsletters. For this evaluation, the e-mails sent contain so-called web beacons or tracking pixels, which represent one-pixel image files stored on my website. For the evaluations I link the data mentioned in § 3 and the web beacons with your e-mail address and an individual ID. Links received in the newsletters also contain this ID. The data is collected exclusively under a pseudonym, so the IDs are not linked with your other personal data, a direct personal reference is excluded.
(6) You can object to this tracking at any time by clicking on the separate link provided in each e-mail or by contacting me. The information will be stored as long as you have subscribed to the newsletter. After unsubscribing, I store the data purely statistically and anonymously. Such tracking is also not possible if you have deactivated the display of images in your e-mail program by default. In this case, the newsletter will not be displayed completely and you may not be able to use all functions. If you display the images manually, the above tracking will take place.

§ 9   Use of social media plug-ins
(1) I am currently using the following social media plug-ins:

I use the so-called two-click solution. This means that when you visit my site, no personal data is initially passed on to the plugin providers. You can recognize the provider of the plug-in by the mark on the box above its initial letter or the logo. I offer you the possibility to communicate directly with the provider of the plug-in via the button. Only if you click on the marked field and thereby activate it will the plug-in provider receive the information that you have called up the corresponding website of my online service. In addition, the data mentioned under § 3 will be transmitted. In the case of Facebook and Xing, the IP address is anonymized immediately after collection according to the information provided by the respective providers in Germany. When the plug-in is activated, personal data is transferred from you to the respective plug-in provider and stored there (with the US providers Facebook, Google+, Twitter and LinkedIn in the United States of America). Since the plug-in provider collects data in particular via cookies, I recommend that you delete all cookies via your browser's security settings before clicking on the grayed-out box.

Through the plug-ins I offer you the possibility to interact with social networks and other users, so that I can improve my online service and make it more interesting for you as a user. The legal basis for the use of the plug-ins is Art. 6(1)(1)(f) GDPR.
(4) The data transfer takes place regardless of whether you have an account with the plug-in provider and are logged in there. If you are logged in at the plug-in provider, your data will be directly assigned to your existing account at the plug-in provider. If you press the activated button and, for example, link the page, the plug-in provider also stores this information in your user account and communicates it publicly to your contacts. I recommend that you log out regularly after using a social network, especially before activating the button, as this allows you to avoid assigning your profile to the plug-in provider.
(5) Further information on the purpose and scope of the data collection and processing by the plug-in provider can be found in the following privacy statements of these providers. There you will also find further information on your rights in this regard and setting options to protect your privacy.

§ 14   Use of Google Adwords Conversion
(1) I use the offer of Google Adwords to draw attention to my online presence with the help of advertising media (so-called Google Adwords) on external websites. In relation to the data of the advertising campaigns, I can determine how successful the individual advertising measures are. I pursue thereby the interest to indicate to you advertisement which is of interest for you to arrange my website, its associated pages and social media accounts for you more interestingly and to achieve a fair calculation of advertising costs.
(2) These advertising media are delivered by Google via so-called «Ad Servers». For this I use Ad Server Cookies, by which certain parameters can be measured to measure success, such as insertion of ads or clicks by users. If you access my website, its associated pages or social media accounts via a Google ad, Google Adwords stores a cookie on your computer. These cookies usually lose their validity after 30 days and are not intended to identify you personally. For this cookie, the unique cookie ID number of ad impressions per placement (frequency), last impression (relevant for post-view conversions) and opt-out information (marking that the user no longer wishes to be addressed) are usually stored as analysis values.
(3) These cookies enable Google to recognize your browser. If a user visits certain pages of an AdWords customer's website and the cookie stored on their computer has not yet expired, Google and the customer may recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was directed to that page. Each Adwords customer is assigned a different cookie. Cookies cannot therefore be traced via the websites of Adwords customers. I myself do not collect or process any personal data in the aforementioned advertising measures. I only receive statistical evaluations from Google. On the basis of this evaluation, I can see which of the advertising measures used are particularly effective. I do not receive any further data from the use of the advertising media, in particular I cannot identify the users on the basis of this information.
(4) Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection with the Google server. I have no influence on the extent and the further use of the data, which are raised by the employment of this tool by Google and inform you therefore according to my state of knowledge: By the integration of AdWords Conversion Google receives the information that you called the appropriate part of my website, its associated page or social media account or clicked an advertisement of me. If you are registered with a Google service, Google can assign the visit to your account. Even if you are not registered with Google or have not logged in, it is still possible for the provider to find out and store your IP address.
(5) You can prevent participation in this tracking process by

§ 15   Remarketing
Besides Adwords Conversion I use the application Google Remarketing. This is a procedure that I would like to use to contact you again. With this application, my advertisements can be shown to you after visiting my website, its associated pages and social media accounts when you continue to use the internet. This is done by means of cookies stored in your browser, which are used by Google to record and evaluate your usage behaviour when you visit various websites. According to Google's own statements, the data collected as part of remarketing is not combined with your personal data, which may be stored by Google. In particular, according to Google, a pseudonymisation is used for remarketing.

§ 16   Use of DoubleClick by Google
(1) This website continues to use the online marketing tool DoubleClick by Google. DoubleClick uses cookies to serve ads relevant to users, improve campaign performance reports, or prevent a user from seeing the same ads more than once. Google uses a cookie ID to track which ads appear in which browser, thereby preventing them from appearing more than once. In addition, DoubleClick can use cookie IDs to capture conversions related to ad requests. This is the case, for example, when a user sees a DoubleClick ad and later visits the advertiser's website with the same browser and buys something there. According to Google, DoubleClick cookies do not contain personally identifiable information.
(2) Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection with the Google server. I have no influence on the extent and the further use of the data, which are raised by the employment of this tool by Google and inform you therefore according to my state of knowledge: By the integration of DoubleClick Google receives the information that you called a suitable part of my internet presence or clicked an advertisement of me. If you are registered with a Google service, Google can assign the visit to your account. Even if you are not registered with Google or have not logged in, it is possible for the provider to find out and store your IP address.

§ 17   Use of Facebook Custom Audiences
(1) Furthermore, the website uses the remarketing function «Custom Audiences» of Facebook Inc. («Facebook»). This allows users of the website, its associated pages and social media accounts to display interest-based advertisements («Facebook Ads») when visiting the Facebook social network or other sites that also use the process. In doing so, I pursue the interest in displaying advertisements to you that are of interest to you in order to make my website, its associated pages and social media accounts more interesting to you.
(2) Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection with the Facebook server. I have no influence on the extent and further use of the data collected by Facebook through the use of this tool and therefore inform you according to my state of knowledge: By integrating Facebook Custom Audiences, Facebook receives the information that you have called the corresponding page of my internet presence or clicked on an advertisement from me. If you are registered with a Facebook service, Facebook can assign the visit to your account. Even if you are not registered with Facebook or have not logged in, it is possible for the provider to find out and store your IP address and other identification features.
(3) The deactivation of the function «Facebook Custom Audiences» is possible for logged in users under https://www.facebook.com/settings/?tab=ads#_.
(4) The legal basis for the processing of your data is Art. 6(1)(1)(f) GDPR. Further information on data processing by Facebook can be found at https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy.
