Contentful CDN

We use Contentful CDN to properly deliver content to our website. Contentful CDN is a service provided by Contentful GmbH, which acts as a content delivery network (CDN) on our website.

A CDN helps to provide content of our online offer, especially files such as graphics or scripts, more quickly with the help of regionally or internationally distributed servers.

Pseudonymisation of Personal Data without Consent

If there is no consent for data processing, we apply a so-called de-identification mechanism. This server-side solution by Jentis automatically truncates IP addresses by the last digit on our Jentis Twin Server so that it becomes impossible to identify a specific European visitor solely based on the IP address.

%%%

In addition, other identifiers from analytics providers are replaced by randomly generated numbers, so that visitors to the Pixum Website cannot be filtered or re-identified by third-party providers. The server-side solution by Jentis aims to ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process.

%%%

Collection of anonymous user data

On this website, web analysis technologies from Adobe Systems Inc. and Google Inc.

Google Ads and Conversion Tracking

Our website uses the online marketing program "Google Ads", including conversion tracking (evaluation of user actions). Google conversion tracking is a service operated by Google LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; "Google"). If you are ordinarily resident in the European Economic Area or Switzerland, Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland) is the controller responsible for your data.

%%%

If you click on adverts placed by Google, a cookie is placed on your computer for conversion tracking. These cookies have limited validity, do not contain any personal data and thus cannot be used for personal identification. If you visit certain pages on our website and the cookie has not yet expired, we and Google can recognise that you have clicked on the advert and were forwarded to this page. Every Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. It is therefore not possible to track cookies relating to the websites of Ads customers.

%%%

The information collected using the conversion cookie serves the purpose of producing conversion statistics. This allows us to find out the total number of users who have clicked on our adverts and were forwarded to a page equipped with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information with which could be used to personally identify users.

Your data may be transmitted to the USA. The data transfer to the USA is carried out in accordance with Art. 45 para. 1 GDPR on the basis of the adequacy decision of the European Commission. The US companies involved and/or their US subcontractors are certified in accordance with the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (EU-U.S. DPF).

Microsoft Advertising

We use Microsoft Advertising from Microsoft Corporation (Microsoft Corporation, One Microsoft Way, Redmond, WA 98052-6399, USA; "Microsoft") on our website. The data processing serves marketing and advertising purposes and the purpose of measuring the success of the advertising measures (conversion tracking). We learn the total number of users who clicked on one of our ads and were redirected to a page tagged with a conversion tracking tag.

Presence in social media

In order to present our company in the best possible way and to communicate with you as a user, customer or interested party and to inform you about the services we offer, we make use of our presence on social networks. When using social networks, data is processed outside the European Union (EU) and the European Economic Area (EEA). An equivalent level of data protection as exists in the EU cannot be guaranteed in all countries outside the EU. In this context, there may be risks for you as a user if the transmitted data is processed in so-called third countries with an inadequate level of data protection.

This makes it more difficult to enforce known user rights. In addition, your data may not be processed in your interest by the provider in the third country.

We only transfer personal data to third countries for which an adequate level of protection has been confirmed or if the transfer of personal data can be ensured by contractual agreements or other suitable guarantees.

In addition to the respective provider of a social network, we also collect and process personal user data on so-called "fan pages". This notice informs you which data we collect from you on our social media sites, how we use it and how you can object to the use of your data. The respective data processing purposes and data categories can be found in the respective offer listed in more detail below.

%%%

The activities in social media operated by us and described in more detail below are carried out on the basis of a balancing of interests in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR.

To achieve this, cookies are used which record user behavior and enable the user to be profiled. A specific list of the purposes for which user data is processed can be found in the data protection notices of the respective providers. By making the appropriate settings in your user account, you can restrict profiling, at least to a certain extent. For the exact procedure, please read the relevant data protection information of the respective provider.

WhiteWall Media GmbH operates profiles on the listed platforms in order to draw attention to products and services and to interact with customers, interested parties and other users of the platform.

In this context, the platform operators also use certain data that they have collected from users of the platform (e.g. whether a photo on a profile has been marked with "Like" or commented on) to create aggregated usage statistics and make them available to the respective operators of the profile (so-called "insights" or "analytics"). As the profile operator, we also receive such usage statistics. The information we receive as profile operators does not allow us to draw any conclusions about individual users. The profile operator itself has no access to personal data that the platform operator processes for the creation of usage statistics. Only the respective platform operator determines which data is processed for these purposes and how. As the profile operator, WhiteWall Media GmbH has no legal or actual influence on the processing by the platform operators.

%%%

For processing in connection with the creation of usage statistics, WhiteWall Media GmbH and the respective platform operator are considered joint controllers within the meaning of Art. 26 GDPR.

Where possible, joint responsibility agreements are in place with the respective platform operators.

In addition, data processing by WhiteWall Media GmbH as the profile operator only takes place to a very limited extent:
