18. Data protection provisions for the deployment and use of Google AdWords

The Responsible Party has integrated Google AdWords for processing on these web pages. Google AdWords is an Internet advertising service that allows advertisers to run both Google and Google network search engine results. Google AdWords makes it possible for advertisers to previously define key words which are then shown as displays in search engine results from Google if the user calls up a key word-related search result on their search engine. In the Google advertising network, the adverts are distributed using an automatic algorithm and using the previously-defined key words on topic-related web pages.

The advertising company for Google AdWords services is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.

The purpose of Google AdWords is to advertise our web pages by inserting interest-related advertising on the web pages of other companies and in Google’s search engine results, and to insert outside advertising on our web pages.

If an impacted person reaches our web page using a Google advertisement, Google will place a so-called ‘conversion cookie’ on the impacted person’s IT system. See above for a definition of cookies. A conversion cookie loses its validity after 30 days, and is not used to identify the impacted person. The conversion cookie can determine, if it has not yet expired, whether specific sub-pages, for example a shopping basket for an on-line shopping system, was called up from our web pages. Using the conversion cookie, we and Google can determine whether an impacted person who has reached our web pages over an AdWords display ad, generates sales, therefore putting into a shopping basket, or has stopped the process.

The data and information collected through the use of conversion cookies are used by Google in order to create visitor statistics for our web pages. We furthermore use these visitor statistics in order to determine the total number of users who were referred to us over the AdWords ads, therefore for the success or failure of the respective AdWords ads, and to optimise our AdWords ads in the future. Neither our company nor other advertising customers of Google AdWords receive information from Google which could be used to identify the impacted person.

Personal information, such as the web pages visited by the impacted person, are stored using conversion cookies. With every visit to our web pages, personal data, including the IP address of the web connection used by the impacted person, is forwarded to Google in the USA. These personal data are stored by Google in the USA. Google forwards these data using technical processes under certain circumstances to third parties.

The impacted person can prevent the placement of cookies by our web pages, as presented above, at any time, by stopping the web browser they use, and therefore permanently object to the placement of cookies. Such a stoppage on the web browser used can also prevent that Google places a conversion cookie on the IT system of the impacted person. In addition, any cookie which has already been placed by Google AdWords can be erased at any time on the web browser or other software programs.

Furthermore, the impacted person has the opportunity to object to interest-related advertising by Google. For this, the impacted person must call up from the web browser he uses to the following link: www.google.de/settings/ads and undertake stopping them there.

Further information and the applicable data protection provisions from Google can be found at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/.

This serves to safeguard our legitimate interests which predominate when weighing interests, for the optimal marketing of our offer. Trustbadge and the services offered by it are offers from Trusted Shops GmbH, Subbelrather Str. 15C, 50823 Cologne. When calling up the Trustbadge, the web server automatically calls up a so-called server logfile, which for example collects the user’s IP address, date and time of the access, transferred data volumes and the querying provider (access data), and documents the access. These access data are not assessed, and are automatically over-written at the latest seven days after the web page visit. Further personal data are only forwarded to Trusted Shops if the user has decided to order Trusted Shops products after completing an order, or has already registered for the use. In this case, the contractual agreement reached between the user and Trusted Shops applies.
