DATA PRIVACY POLICY
Updated: 2018-07-20
Data protection is of a particularly high priority for the management
of Brim Explorer AS (Brim Explorer). The use of the Internet pages of
Brim Explorer is possible without any indication of personal data;
however, if a data subject wants to use special enterprise services via
our website, processing of personal data could become necessary. If the
processing of personal data is necessary and there is no statutory basis
for such processing, we generally obtain consent from the data subject.
The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, e-mail
address, or telephone number of a data subject shall always be in line
with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and in accordance
with the Norwegian data protection regulations applicable to Brim
Explorer. By means of this data protection declaration, our enterprise
would like to inform the general public of the nature, scope, and
purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process. Furthermore,
data subjects are informed, by means of this data protection
declaration, of the rights to which they are entitled.
As the controller, Brim Explorer AS (Brim Explorer) has implemented
numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most
complete protection of personal data processed through this website.
However, Internet-based data transmissions may in principle have
security gaps, so absolute protection may not be guaranteed. For this
reason, every data subject is free to transfer personal data to Brim
Explorer via alternative means, e.g. by telephone (+47 97 07 84 78).
1. DEFINITIONS
The data protection declaration of Brim Explorer is based on the
terms used by the European legislator for the adoption of the General
Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our data protection declaration
should be legible and understandable for the general public, as well as
our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to
first explain the terminology used.
In this data protection declaration, we use, inter alia, the following terms:
a) Personal data
Personal data means any information relating to an identified or
identifiable natural person (“data subject”). An identifiable natural
person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in
particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an
identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or
more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental,
economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.
b) Data subject
Data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person, whose
personal data is processed by the controller responsible for the
processing.
c) Processing
Processing is any operation or set of operations which is performed
on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by
automated means, such as collection, recording, organisation,
structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation,
use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making
available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or
destruction.
d) Restriction of processing
Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting their processing in the future.
e) Profiling
Profiling means any form of automated processing of personal data
consisting of the use of personal data to evaluate certain personal
aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyse or
predict aspects concerning that natural person's performance at work,
economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests,
reliability, behaviour, location or movements.
f) Pseudonymisation
Pseudonymisation is the processing of personal data in such a manner
that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data
subject without the use of additional information, provided that such
additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical
and organisational measures to ensure that the personal data are not
attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.
g) Controller or controller responsible for the processing
Controller or controller responsible for the processing is the
natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which,
alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the
processing of personal data; where the purposes and means of such
processing are determined by Union or Member State law, the controller
or the specific criteria for its nomination may be provided for by
Union, EEA or Member State law.
h) Processor
Processor is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or
other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.
i) Recipient
The recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency
or another body, to which the personal data are disclosed, whether a
third party or not. However, public authorities which may receive
personal data in the framework of a particular inquiry in accordance
with Union or Member State law shall not be regarded as recipients; the
processing of those data by those public authorities shall be in
compliance with the applicable data protection rules according to the
purposes of the processing.
j) Third party
Third party is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or
body other than the data subject, controller, processor and persons
who, under the direct authority of the controller or processor, are
authorised to process personal data.
k) Consent
Consent of the data subject is any freely given, specific, informed
and unambiguous indication of the data subject's wishes by which he or
she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies
agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her.
2. NAME AND ADDRESS OF THE CONTROLLER
Controller for the purposes of the General Data Protection Regulation
(GDPR), other data protection laws applicable in Member states of the
European Union, the European Economic Area (EEA) and other provisions
related to data protection is:
3. COOKIES
Cookies consist of portions of code installed in the browser that
assist the Owner in providing the Service according to the purposes
described. Some of the purposes for which Cookies are installed may also
require the User's consent. Where the installation of Cookies is based
on consent, such consent can be freely withdrawn at any time following
the instructions provided below.

4. COLLECTION OF GENERAL DATA AND INFORMATION
The website of Brim Explorer collects a series of general data and
information when a data subject or automated system calls up the
website. This general data and information are stored in the server log
files. Collected may be (1) the browser types and versions used, (2) the
operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from
which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrers), (4)
the sub-websites, (5) the date and time of access to the Internet site,
(6) an Internet protocol address (IP address), (7) the Internet service
provider of the accessing system, and (8) any other similar data and
information that may be used in the event of attacks on our information
technology systems.
When using these general data and information, Brim Explorer does not
draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information
is needed to (1) deliver the content of our website correctly, (2)
optimize the content of our website as well as its advertisement, (3)
ensure the long-term viability of our information technology systems and
website technology, and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with
the information necessary for criminal prosecution in case of a
cyber-attack. Therefore, Brim Explorer analyzes anonymously collected
data and information statistically, with the aim of increasing the data
protection and data security of our enterprise, and to ensure an optimal
level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous
data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal
data provided by a data subject.
5. REGISTRATION ON OUR WEBSITE
a.) The data subject has the possibility to register on the website
of the controller with the indication of personal data. Which personal
data are transmitted to the controller is determined by the respective
input mask used for the registration. The personal data entered by the
data subject are collected and stored exclusively for internal use by
the controller, and for his own purposes. The controller may request
transfer to one or more processors (e.g. a parcel service) that also
uses personal data for an internal purpose which is attributable to the
controller.
By registering on the website of the controller, the IP
address—assigned by the Internet service provider (ISP) and used by the
data subject—date, and time of the registration are also stored. The
storage of this data takes place against the background that this is the
only way to prevent the misuse of our services, and, if necessary, to
make it possible to investigate committed offenses. Insofar, the storage
of this data is necessary to secure the controller. This data is not
passed on to third parties unless there is a statutory obligation to
pass on the data, or if the transfer serves the aim of criminal
prosecution.
The registration of the data subject, with the voluntary indication
of personal data, is intended to enable the controller to offer the data
subject contents or services that may only be offered to registered
users due to the nature of the matter in question. Registered persons
are free to change the personal data specified during the registration
at any time, or to have them completely deleted from the data stock of
the controller.
The data controller shall, at any time, provide information upon
request to each data subject as to what personal data are stored about
the data subject. In addition, the data controller shall correct or
erase personal data at the request or indication of the data subject,
insofar as there are no statutory storage obligations. The entirety of
the controller’s employees are available to the data subject in this
respect as contact persons.
b) Personal data is collected from the data subject in order to
participate on our activities. Here the data subject must provide
contact information (like name, email, nationality and telephone
numbers). This information is used to contact the data subject with
information about the order, and/or to fulfill the data subject's
enquiries, and in some cases as consent to the terms of participation
outlined by the General Terms and Conditions. We might get back to the
data subject to provide the information requested by the data subject
(like a quote or inform about upcoming cancellations). At the time of
booking, we also ask for payment information such as credit card number
or bank transfer details. Credit Card information is held by third party
software and the data privacy policy of the third party applies.
In some cases, we may need to share this personal data with the
suppliers and operators of the booked services, including but not
limited to hotels, activity providers, or operators involved in your
travel reservations. We may need to disclose your personal data where
required by law, where such a request is made by a legal authority.
Otherwise, we do not sell or share this information with any third
parties.
6. SUBSCRIPTION TO OUR NEWSLETTERS
On the website of Brim Explorer, users are given the opportunity to
subscribe to our enterprise's newsletter. The input mask used for this
purpose determines what personal data are transmitted, as well as when
the newsletter is ordered from the controller.
Brim Explorer informs its customers and business partners regularly
by means of a newsletter about enterprise offers. The enterprise's
newsletter may only be received by the data subject if (1) the data
subject has a valid e-mail address and (2) the data subject registers
for the newsletter shipping. A confirmation e-mail will be sent to the
e-mail address registered by a data subject for the first time for
newsletter shipping, for legal reasons, in the double opt-in procedure.
This confirmation e-mail is used to prove whether the owner of the
e-mail address as the data subject is authorized to receive the
newsletter.
During the registration for the newsletter, we also store the IP
address of the computer system assigned by the Internet service provider
(ISP) and used by the data subject at the time of the registration, as
well as the date and time of the registration. The collection of this
data is necessary in order to understand the (possible) misuse of the
e-mail address of a data subject at a later date, and it therefore
serves the aim of the legal protection of the controller.
The personal data collected as part of a registration for the
newsletter will only be used to send our newsletter. In addition,
subscribers to the newsletter may be informed by e-mail, as long as this
is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or a
registration in question, as this could be the case in the event of
modifications to the newsletter offer, or in the event of a change in
technical circumstances. There will be no transfer of personal data
collected by the newsletter service to third parties. The subscription
to our newsletter may be terminated by the data subject at any time. The
consent to the storage of personal data, which the data subject has
given for shipping the newsletter, may be revoked at any time. For the
purpose of revocation of consent, a corresponding link is found in each
newsletter. It is also possible to unsubscribe from the newsletter at
any time directly on the website of the controller, or to communicate
this to the controller in a different way.
7. NEWSLETTER-TRACKING
The newsletter of Brim Explorer contains so-called tracking pixels. A
tracking pixel is a miniature graphic embedded in such e-mails, which
are sent in HTML format to enable log file recording and analysis. This
allows a statistical analysis of the success or failure of online
marketing campaigns. Based on the embedded tracking pixel, Brim Explorer
may see if and when an e-mail was opened by a data subject, and which
links in the e-mail were called up by data subjects.
Such personal data collected in the tracking pixels contained in the
newsletters are stored and analyzed by the controller in order to
optimize the shipping of the newsletter, as well as to adapt the content
of future newsletters even better to the interests of the data subject.
These personal data will not be passed on to third parties. Data
subjects are at any time entitled to revoke the respective separate
declaration of consent issued by means of the double-opt-in procedure.
After a revocation, these personal data will be deleted by the
controller. Brim Explorer automatically regards a withdrawal from the
receipt of the newsletter as a revocation.
8. CONTACT POSSIBILITY VIA THE WEBSITE
The website of Brim Explorer contains information that enables a
quick electronic contact to our enterprise, as well as direct
communication with Brim Explorer, which also includes a general address
of the so-called electronic mail (e-mail address). If a data subject
contacts the controller by e-mail or via a contact form, the personal
data transmitted by the data subject are automatically stored. Such
personal data transmitted on a voluntary basis by a data subject to the
data controller are stored for the purpose of processing or contacting
the data subject. There is no transfer of this personal data to third
parties.
9. ROUTINE ERASURE AND BLOCKING OF PERSONAL DATA
The data controller shall process and store the personal data of the
data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of
storage, or as far as this is granted by the Norwegian Law or
regulations to which the controller is subject to.
10. RIGHTS OF THE DATA SUBJECT

subject.
Furthermore, the data subject shall have a right to obtain
information as to whether personal data are transferred to a third
country or to an international organisation. Where this is the case, the
data subject shall have the right to be informed of the appropriate
safeguards relating to the transfer.
If a data subject wishes to avail himself of this right of access, he
or she may, at any time, contact any employee of the controller.
c) Right to rectification
Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European
legislator to obtain from the controller without undue delay the
rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning him or her. Taking
into account the purposes of the processing, the data subject shall have
the right to have incomplete personal data completed, including by
means of providing a supplementary statement.
If a data subject wishes to exercise this right to rectification, he
or she may, at any time, contact any employee of the controller.
d) Right to erasure (Right to be forgotten)
Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European
legislator to obtain from the controller the erasure of personal data
concerning him or her without undue delay, and the controller shall have
the obligation to erase personal data without undue delay where one of
the following grounds applies, as long as the processing is not
necessary:
The personal data are no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.
The data subject withdraws consent to which the processing is based
according to point (a) of Article 6(1) of the GDPR, or point (a) of
Article 9(2) of the GDPR, and where there is no other legal ground for
the processing.
The data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21(1)

Article 21(2) of the GDPR.
The personal data have been unlawfully processed.
The personal data must be erased for compliance with a legal
obligation in Union, EEA or Member State law to which the controller is
subject.
The personal data have been collected in relation to the offer of
information society services referred to in Article 8(1) of the GDPR.
If one of the aforementioned reasons applies, and a data subject
wishes to request the erasure of personal data stored by Brim Explorer,
he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of the controller. An
employee of Brim Explorer shall promptly ensure that the erasure request
is complied with immediately.
Where the controller has made personal data public and is obliged
pursuant to Article 17(1) to erase the personal data, the controller,
taking account of available technology and the cost of implementation,
shall take reasonable steps, including technical measures, to inform
other controllers processing the personal data that the data subject has
requested erasure by such controllers of any links to, or copy or
replication of, those personal data, as far as processing is not
required. An employees of Brim Explorer will arrange the necessary
measures in individual cases.
e) Right of restriction of processing
Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European
legislator to obtain from the controller restriction of processing where
one of the following applies:
The accuracy of the personal data is contested by the data subject,
for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the
personal data.
The processing is unlawful and the data subject opposes the erasure
of the personal data and requests instead the restriction of their use
instead.
The controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of
the processing, but they are required by the data subject for the
establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
The data subject has objected to processing pursuant to Article 21(1)
of the GDPR pending the verification whether the legitimate grounds of
the controller override those of the data subject.
If one of the aforementioned conditions is met, and a data subject
wishes to request the restriction of the processing of personal data
stored by Brim Explorer, he or she may at any time contact any employee
of the controller. The employee of Brim Explorer will arrange the
restriction of the processing.
f) Right to data portability
Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European
legislator, to receive the personal data concerning him or her, which
was provided to a controller, in a structured, commonly used and
machine-readable format. He or she shall have the right to transmit
those data to another controller without hindrance from the controller
to which the personal data have been provided, as long as the processing
is based on consent pursuant to point (a) of Article 6(1) of the GDPR
or point (a) of Article 9(2) of the GDPR, or on a contract pursuant to
point (b) of Article 6(1) of the GDPR, and the processing is carried out
by automated means, as long as the processing is not necessary for the
performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the
exercise of official authority vested in the controller.
Furthermore, in exercising his or her right to data portability
pursuant to Article 20(1) of the GDPR, the data subject shall have the
right to have personal data transmitted directly from one controller to
another, where technically feasible and when doing so does not adversely
affect the rights and freedoms of others.

her, which is based on point (e) or (f) of Article 6(1) of the GDPR.
This also applies to profiling based on these provisions.
Brim Explorer shall no longer process the personal data in the event
of the objection, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate
grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights and
freedoms of the data subject, or for the establishment, exercise or
defence of legal claims.
If Brim Explorer processes personal data for direct marketing
purposes, the data subject shall have the right to object at any time to
processing of personal data concerning him or her for such marketing.
This applies to profiling to the extent that it is related to such
direct marketing. If the data subject objects to Brim Explorer to the
processing for direct marketing purposes, Brim Explorer will no longer
process the personal data for these purposes.
In addition, the data subject has the right, on grounds relating to
his or her particular situation, to object to processing of personal
data concerning him or her by Brim Explorer for scientific or historical
research purposes, or for statistical purposes pursuant to Article
89(1) of the GDPR, unless the processing is necessary for the
performance of a task carried out for reasons of public interest.
In order to exercise the right to object, the data subject may
contact any employee of Brim Explorer. In addition, the data subject is
free in the context of the use of information society services, and
notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, to use his or her right to object
by automated means using technical specifications.
h) Automated individual decision-making, including profiling
Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European
legislator not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated
processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning
him or her, or similarly significantly affects him or her, as long as
the decision (1) is not is necessary for entering into, or the
performance of, a contract between the data subject and a data
controller, or (2) is not authorised by Union, EEA or Member State law
to which the controller is subject and which also lays down suitable
measures to safeguard the data subject's rights and freedoms and
legitimate interests, or (3) is not based on the data subject's explicit
consent.

performance of, a contract between the data subject and a data
controller, or (2) it is based on the data subject's explicit consent,
Brim Explorer shall implement suitable measures to safeguard the data
subject's rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, at least the
right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to
express his or her point of view and contest the decision.
If the data subject wishes to exercise the rights concerning
automated individual decision-making, he or she may, at any time,
contact any employee of Brim Explorer.
i) Right to withdraw data protection consent
Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European
legislator to withdraw his or her consent to processing of his or her
personal data at any time.
If the data subject wishes to exercise the right to withdraw the
consent, he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of Brim
Explorer.
11. DATA PROTECTION PROVISIONS ABOUT THE APPLICATION AND USE OF FACEBOOK
On this website, the controller has integrated components of the enterprise Facebook. Facebook is a social network.
A social network is a place for social meetings on the Internet, an
online community, which usually allows users to communicate with each
other and interact in a virtual space. A social network may serve as a
platform for the exchange of opinions and experiences, or enable the
Internet community to provide personal or business-related information.
Facebook allows social network users to include the creation of private
profiles, upload photos, and network through friend requests.
The operating company of Facebook is Facebook, Inc., 1 Hacker Way,
Menlo Park, CA 94025, United States. If a person lives outside of the
United States or Canada, the controller is the Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4
Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.
With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this Internet
website, which is operated by the controller and into which a Facebook
component (Facebook plug-ins) was integrated, the web browser on the
information technology system of the data subject is automatically
prompted to download display of the corresponding Facebook component
from Facebook through the Facebook component. An overview of all the
Facebook Plug-ins may be accessed under
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/. During the course of this
technical procedure, Facebook is made aware of what specific sub-site
of our website was visited by the data subject.
If the data subject is logged in at the same time on Facebook,
Facebook detects with every call-up to our website by the data
subject—and for the entire duration of their stay on our Internet
site—which specific sub-site of our Internet page was visited by the
data subject. This information is collected through the Facebook
component and associated with the respective Facebook account of the
data subject. If the data subject clicks on one of the Facebook buttons
integrated into our website, e.g. the "Like" button, or if the data
subject submits a comment, then Facebook matches this information with
the personal Facebook user account of the data subject and stores the
personal data.
Facebook always receives, through the Facebook component, information
about a visit to our website by the data subject, whenever the data
subject is logged in at the same time on Facebook during the time of the
call-up to our website. This occurs regardless of whether the data
subject clicks on the Facebook component or not. If such a transmission
of information to Facebook is not desirable for the data subject, then
he or she may prevent this by logging off from their Facebook account
before a call-up to our website is made.
The data protection guideline published by Facebook, which is
available at https://facebook.com/about/privacy/, provides information
about the collection, processing and use of personal data by Facebook.
In addition, it is explained there what setting options Facebook offers
to protect the privacy of the data subject. In addition, different
configuration options are made available to allow the elimination of
data transmission to Facebook. These applications may be used by the
data subject to eliminate a data transmission to Facebook.
12. DATA PROTECTION PROVISIONS ABOUT THE APPLICATION AND USE OF GOOGLE ANALYTICS (WITH ANONYMIZATION FUNCTION)
On this website, the controller has integrated the component of
Google Analytics (with the anonymizer function). Google Analytics is a
web analytics service. Web analytics is the collection, gathering, and
analysis of data about the behavior of visitors to websites. A web
analysis service collects, inter alia, data about the website from which
a person has come (the so-called referrer), which sub-pages were
visited, or how often and for what duration a sub-page was viewed. Web
analytics are mainly used for the optimization of a website and in order
to carry out a cost-benefit analysis of Internet advertising.
The operator of the Google Analytics component is Google Inc., 1600
Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, United States.
For the web analytics through Google Analytics the controller uses
the application "_gat. _anonymizeIp". By means of this application the
IP address of the Internet connection of the data subject is abridged by
Google and anonymised when accessing our websites from a Member State
of the European Union or another Contracting State to the Agreement on
the European Economic Area.
The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyze the
traffic on our website. Google uses the collected data and information,
inter alia, to evaluate the use of our website and to provide online
reports, which show the activities on our websites, and to provide other
services concerning the use of our Internet site for Brim Explorer.
Google Analytics places a cookie on the information technology system
of the data subject. The definition of cookies is explained above. With
the setting of the cookie, Google is enabled to analyze the use of our
website. With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this
Internet site, which is operated by the controller and into which a
Google Analytics component was integrated, the Internet browser on the
information technology system of the data subject will automatically
submit data through the Google Analytics component for the purpose of
online advertising and the settlement of commissions to Google. During
the course of this technical procedure, the enterprise Google gains
knowledge of personal information, such as the IP address of the data
subject, which serves Google, inter alia, to understand the origin of
visitors and clicks, and subsequently create commission settlements.
The cookie is used to store personal information, such as the access
time, the location from which the access was made, and the frequency of
visits of our website by the data subject. With each visit to our
Internet site, such personal data, including the IP address of the
Internet access used by the data subject, will be transmitted to Google
in the United States of America. These personal data are stored by
Google in the United States of America. Google may pass these personal
data collected through the technical procedure to third parties.
The data subject may, as stated above, prevent the setting of cookies
through our website at any time by means of a corresponding adjustment
of the web browser used and thus permanently deny the setting of
cookies. Such an adjustment to the Internet browser used would also
prevent Google Analytics from setting a cookie on the information
technology system of the data subject. In addition, cookies already in
use by Google Analytics may be deleted at any time via a web browser or
other software programs.
In addition, the data subject has the possibility of objecting to a
collection of data that are generated by Google Analytics, which is
related to the use of this website, as well as the processing of this
data by Google and the chance to preclude any such. For this purpose,
the data subject must download a browser add-on under the link https://tools.google.com/dlpag...
and install it. This browser add-on tells Google Analytics through a
JavaScript, that any data and information about the visits of Internet
pages may not be transmitted to Google Analytics. The installation of
the browser add-ons is considered an objection by Google. If the
information technology system of the data subject is later deleted,
formatted, or newly installed, then the data subject must reinstall the
browser add-ons to disable Google Analytics. If the browser add-on was
uninstalled by the data subject or any other person who is attributable
to their sphere of competence, or is disabled, it is possible to execute
the reinstallation or reactivation of the browser add-ons.
Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of Google may be retrieved under https://www.google.com/intl/en...
and under http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/us.html. Google
Analytics is further explained under the following Link
https://www.google.com/analytics/.
13. DATA PROTECTION PROVISIONS ABOUT THE APPLICATION AND USE OF GOOGLE REMARKETING
On this website, the controller has integrated Google Remarketing
services. Google Remarketing is a feature of Google AdWords, which
allows an enterprise to display advertising to Internet users who have
previously resided on the enterprise's Internet site. The integration of
Google Remarketing therefore allows an enterprise to create user-based
advertising and thus shows relevant advertisements to interested
Internet users.
The operating company of the Google Remarketing services is the
Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351,
United States.
The purpose of Google Remarketing is the insertion of
interest-relevant advertising. Google Remarketing allows Brim Explorer
to display ads on the Google network or on other websites, which are
based on individual needs and matched to the interests of Internet
users.
Google Remarketing sets a cookie on the information technology system
of the data subject. The definition of cookies is explained above. With
the setting of the cookie, Google enables a recognition of the visitor
of our website if he calls up consecutive web pages, which are also a
member of the Google advertising network. With each call-up to an
Internet site on which the service has been integrated by Google

14. DATA PROTECTION PROVISIONS ABOUT THE APPLICATION AND USE OF GOOGLE-ADWORDS
On this website, the controller has integrated Google AdWords. Google
AdWords is a service for Internet advertising that allows the
advertiser to place ads in Google search engine results and the Google
advertising network. Google AdWords allows an advertiser to pre-define
specific keywords with the help of which an ad on Google's search
results only then displayed, when the user utilizes the search engine to
retrieve a keyword-relevant search result. In the Google Advertising
Network, the ads are distributed on relevant web pages using an
automatic algorithm, taking into account the previously defined
keywords.
The operating company of Google AdWords is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, UNITED STATES.
The purpose of Google AdWords is the promotion of our website by the
inclusion of relevant advertising on the websites of third parties and
in the search engine results of the search engine Google and an
insertion of third-party advertising on our website.
If a data subject reaches our website via a Google ad, a conversion
cookie is filed on the information technology system of the data subject
through Google. The definition of cookies is explained above. A
conversion cookie loses its validity after 30 days and is not used to
identify the data subject. If the cookie has not expired, the conversion
cookie is used to check whether certain sub-pages, e.g, the shopping
cart from an online shop system, were called up on our website. Through
the conversion cookie, both Google and the controller can understand
whether a person who reached an AdWords ad on our website generated
sales, that is, executed or canceled a sale of goods.
The data and information collected through the use of the conversion
cookie is used by Google to create visit statistics for our website.
These visit statistics are used in order to determine the total number
of users who have been served through AdWords ads to ascertain the
success or failure of each AdWords ad and to optimize our AdWords ads in
the future. Neither our company nor other Google AdWords advertisers
receive information from Google that could identify the data subject.
The conversion cookie stores personal information, e.g. the Internet
pages visited by the data subject. Each time we visit our Internet
pages, personal data, including the IP address of the Internet access
used by the data subject, is transmitted to Google in the United States
of America. These personal data are stored by Google in the United
States of America. Google may pass these personal data collected through
the technical procedure to third parties.
The data subject may, at any time, prevent the setting of cookies by
our website, as stated above, by means of a corresponding setting of the
Internet browser used and thus permanently deny the setting of cookies.
Such a setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent Google
from placing a conversion cookie on the information technology system of
the data subject. In addition, a cookie set by Google AdWords may be
deleted at any time via the Internet browser or other software programs.
The data subject has a possibility of objecting to the interest based
advertisement of Google. Therefore, the data subject must access from
each of the browsers in use the link www.google.de/settings/ads and set the desired settings.
