2.1 Website analysis and marketing tools

Google Analytics

Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043 USA (provider of Google Analytics), https://www.google.de/intl/de/analytics/

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. Google Analytics makes it possible to assign data, sessions and interactions across multiple devices to a pseudonymous user ID and analyse the activities of a user across devices in this way.

Google Analytics uses cookies that enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. As a result of the activation of IP anonymisation on this website, your IP address will be shortened in advance by Google within Member States of the European Union or in other Contracting States to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transferred to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. The IP address transferred by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not merged with other Google data. Google will use this information on our behalf to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activity and provide us with other services related to website activity and Internet usage.

Your usage behaviour will only be analysed by Google Analytics with your express consent (opt-in). You can withdraw your consent at any time with future effect under Point 2.3 Cookie settings and revocation within this Data Protection Policy. The legal basis for the use of Google Analytics is Art. 6 (1) 1 lit. a) GDPR.

Google has its headquarters in the USA. The European Court of Justice (ECJ) has found that the US does not provide an adequate level of data protection equivalent to the European data protection law (ECJ, 16.7.2020 - C-311/18 "Schrems II"). In particular, there is a risk that your data may be processed by U.S. authorities for control and monitoring purposes and possibly also without the possibility of legal recourse (e.g. under Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA 702). By accepting Google's cookies, you consent to the processing of your data in the USA, knowing the possible risks in accordance with Art. 49 (1) 1 lit. a) GDPR.

The data sent by us and linked with cookies, user IDs (e.g. user ID) or advertising IDs will be automatically deleted after 14 months . Data with an expired retention period is automatically deleted once a month.

More details are available in Google’s Terms of use and data protection policy.

Use of social media plug-ins using the Shariff solution

Our website uses social plugins (“plugins”) from social networks. In order to increase the protection of your data when you visit our website, the plugins are not unlimited and are only added to the page using an HTML link „ShariffLösung“ from c‘t). This integration ensures that no connection is established with the servers of the provider of the respective social network when you access a page on our website which contains these plugins. If you click on one of the buttons, a new window will open in your browser and access the webpage of the respective service provider, where you can (for example, after entering your login data) press the Like or Share button. The purpose and scope of the data collection and the further processing and use of the data by the providers on their pages, as well as your rights in this regard and the setting options to protect your privacy, can be found in the providers' data protection information:

2.3 Technical security measures

Google reCAPTCHA

Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043 USA (provider of Google reCAPTCHA), https://www.google.com/recaptcha/intro/v3.html

We integrate the "reCaptcha" function from Google Inc. for the detection of bots, for example with regard to inputting details in contact forms. The behavioural information of users (e.g. mouse movements or queries) are included in the “captchas" and evaluated to distinguish people from bots. The name "bot" is a short form of the English term "robot". These bots are controlled by a computer program, which, like an automated machine, is programmed to process certain tasks without human intervention. The “captchas” are another security function of our website. “Captcha” means “Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart”. When you access our website, we transfer information to Google about your visit. Google in particular uses the following information to check whether you are a human or a computer:

• The IP address of your device
• Referrer https://portal.bs-card-service.com/
• Information about the browser you use (e.g. browser type and version, screen resolution, language, installed plugins, time and date)
• If you are registered and logged in to Google, your Google account
• Your surfing behaviour on websites
• Your input behaviour (e.g. your mouse movements on the reCAPTCHA areas)
• In some cases, small tasks where you have to identify pictures or numbers.

The legal basis for the use of Google reCAPTCHA is Art. 6 (1) 1 lit. c) in conjunction with Art. 24, 32 GDPR. The use of the service meets a legal obligation (by preventing website malfunctions resulting from attacks and/or technical faults and fraud prevention) which we are subject as PAYONE. Google reCaptcha supports us in ensuring a level of protection to meet the risks through appropriate technical measures.

More details are available in Google’s Terms of Use and Data Protection Policy.
