  • two bytes of the IP address of the calling system of the user
  • the requested web page
  • the website from which the user has reached the accessed website (referrer)
  • the subpages that are called from the called web page
  • the length of stay on the website
  • the frequency with which the website is accessed

Our website uses Matomo with the setting "Anonymize Visitors' IP addresses". This means that IP addresses are processed in abbreviated form, thus excluding the possibility of direct personal reference. The software is set so that the IP addresses are not stored in full, but 2 bytes of the IP address are masked (e.g. 192.168.xxx.xxx). In this way, an assignment of the shortened IP address to the calling computer is no longer possible. The IP address transmitted by your browser via Matomo is not merged with other data collected by us.

The legal basis for the processing of the user's data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO or § 15 para. 3 TMG.

(3) Purposes of the processing

The data entered in the context of using Mobile Funnel is transmitted via SSL encryption and stored in a database. The operator of this website is solely responsible for this data within the meaning of Art. 24 DS-GVO. Perspective is only the operator of the software and in this context a processor according to Art. 28 DS-GVO. The basis for processing by Perspective in this regard is a contract for commissioned processing between the controller and Perspective. In addition, Perspective Software GmbH processes further data for the provision of its services, in particular for the operation of the Mobile Funnel, some of which may also be personal data. This will be discussed in more detail below.

Responsible party

Access logs ("server logs")
With each access to the Funnel, general log data, so-called server logs, are automatically collected. These data are usually pseudonyms and therefore do not allow any conclusions to be drawn about a natural person. Without this data, it would not be technically possible in part to deliver and display the contents of the software. In addition, the processing of this data is mandatory for security reasons, in particular for access, input and transfer and storage control. Furthermore, the anonymous information can be used for statistical purposes as well as for the optimization of the offer and the technology. In addition, the log files can be subsequently controlled and evaluated in the event of suspicion of illegal use of the software. The
legal basis for this can be found in § 15 para. 1 Telemediengesetz (TMG) as well as Art. 6. (1) f DS-GVO. Data such as the domain name of the website, the web browser and web browser version, the operating system and the timestamp of access to the software are generally collected. The IP address of the user is not stored. However, the user is assigned a so-called session ID. The scope of this logging does not exceed the usual scope of any other website on the Internet. The storage period of these access logs is up to 7 days. There is no right of objection.

Collection of User Behavior Data
General data collected includes the domain name of the website, the web browser and web browser version, the operating system, the user's session ID, and the timestamp of access to the software. All data entered by the user when using the Funnel (e.g. answering form fields; using interactive components) are assigned to the user by means of a session ID and made available to the operator of this website. The operator of this website is responsible for the deletion, storage and further processing of this personal data in accordance with current legislation.

Use of cookies
So-called cookies are used in the Funnel. These are small text files that are stored on the device with which you access these funnels. The cookies used serve to ensure security when visiting a website ("absolutely necessary"), to implement certain functionalities such as standard language settings ("functional") and to improve the user experience or performance on the website ("performance"). Within the Funnel, strictly necessary, functional and performance cookies are used, in particular to implement certain default settings such as the language, to store given answers even in case of poor internet connection or to analyze the performance of a Funnel and the used channel through which a user has reached this Funnel. The use of cookies is mandatory for the provision of our services and thus for the fulfillment of the contract (Art. 6 (1) b) DS-GVO). Storage period: Up to 1 month or until the end of the browser session Right to object: You can determine yourself via your browser settings whether you want to allow cookies or object to the use of cookies. Please note that disabling cookies may result in limited or completely disabled functionality of the Funnel. The operator of this website has the possibility to decide individually for each Funnel used, which decision options for the use of cookies are given to the user. It is within the responsibility of the website operator to use cookies in accordance with the applicable legal restrictions. If the website operator uses extensions from external companies within the funnels, it is the responsibility of the website operator to inform the user about this.

The exceptions to this right regulated in §35 BDSG apply.

d) Right to restriction of processing - Article 18 GDPR

The right to restriction of processing includes the possibility for the data subject to prevent further processing of personal data concerning him or her for the time being. A restriction occurs primarily in the review phase of other rights exercised by the data subject.
