Privacy policy
1. general information on data processing
Jurij Schönmeier exclusively provides the domain “girofin.com” and enables other legally independent companies to offer their products and services there in a legally independent manner. However, it is not responsible for the content and scope of these services on the respective subpages or subdomains, but rather the legally independent companies specified there.
We only process our users’ personal data to the extent necessary to provide a functional website and our content and services. The processing of personal data of our users takes place regularly only with the consent of the user. An exception applies in cases where prior consent cannot be obtained for factual reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by law.
2.1 Purpose of processing and legal basis
When you visit our website, we automatically record various information in the respective server log files. This includes, for example, the type and version number of your web browser, the operating system you use, information about your internet provider, your IP address, the date and time of access and other similar information. This information is generated by the system when using the Internet and is therefore technically essential to ensure the smooth, trouble-free and secure operation of a website. The log files contain IP addresses or other data that enable an assignment to a user. This data is not stored together with other personal data of the user. After 7 days, these server logs, which are kept strictly separate from the rest of the data, are permanently deleted.
The legal basis for the temporary storage of the data and the log files is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and thus outweighs the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject; therefore, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR serves as the legal basis. 1 lit. f GDPR as the legal basis for processing.
At the same time, the data obtained in this way is used for statistical evaluations regarding the optimization and security of our website. Here too, our company has a legitimate interest and the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the first-mentioned interest. Therefore, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR as the legal basis for this processing.
2.2 Possibility of objection
The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of data in log files is absolutely necessary for the operation of the website. Consequently, there is no possibility for the user to object.
3. cookies
In order to continuously improve the offer for our users and to address customers based on their interests, tracking technologies may be used by third-party providers and us, which use cookies. Cookies are usually small text files that a web server transfers to your device when you access a website. Other technical processes that behave like cookies are also treated in the same way; all of the following explanations therefore also apply to these technologies, regardless of the specific name.
“Session cookies” are not stored permanently on the device you use to visit our website and disappear when you close your browser. These cookies may contain, among other things, information about the browser you are using, the screen resolution, the operating system used and other individual information. These cookies can therefore also be used to make it easier for you to navigate our website and/or to ensure the correct display on the respective website.
“Persistent cookies” or “permanent cookies”, on the other hand, store anonymous information on the respective device and remain available even after the browser is closed. Each of these cookies is provided with a corresponding “expiry”/validity date, on which this cookie is then automatically deleted. The purpose of using these cookies is, among other things, to compile anonymous statistics on the use of our website. The statistics can be used, among other things, to identify where we need to optimize our web pages to make them easier for you to use. Both types of cookie are anonymous.
There is no individual profiling of your usage behavior. Of course, you can also use our website without cookies by disabling them in your browser. Please refer to the respective help for the individual browsers (see below) to find out how to make the respective settings to deactivate cookies. Please note that deactivating cookies may result in display and navigation problems.
Important for you: The data collected by us in the cookies will not be passed on to third parties or linked to your personal data without your consent. It is also not possible or intended for third-party providers to clearly identify you personally using the data collected in the cookies.
We use the “Real Cookie Banner” consent tool to manage the cookies and similar technologies used (tracking pixels, web beacons, etc.) and related consents. Details on how “Real Cookie Banner” works can be found at https://devowl.io/de/rcb/datenverarbeitung.
The legal basis for the processing of personal data in this context is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR and Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest is the management of the cookies and similar technologies used and the related consents.
The provision of personal data is neither contractually required nor necessary for the conclusion of a contract. You are not obliged to provide the personal data. If you do not provide the personal data, we will not be able to manage your consents.

The responsible service provider in the EU is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (“Google Ireland”). A data processing agreement (“DPA”) has been concluded with Google Ireland, in which Google Ireland acts as a contractor.

Scope of processing
Google Analytics 360 uses cookies that enable an analysis of your use of our website. The information collected by cookies about your use of this website is usually transferred to a Google Ireland server, but also to the USA, where it is stored.
We use the ‘anonymizeIP’ function (so-called IP masking). Due to the activation of IP anonymization on this website, your IP address will be shortened by Google Ireland within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted by Google Ireland to a server in the USA and only shortened there. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics 360 will not be merged with other data from Google Ireland or Google US.
Purposes of the processing
On behalf of the operator of this website, Google Ireland will use this information to evaluate your (pseudonymous) use of the website and to compile reports on website activity. The reports provided by Google Analytics 360 are used to analyze the performance of our website and the success of our marketing campaigns.
Receiver
The recipient of the data is Google Ireland as a contractor within the framework of a concluded order processing agreement. In this context, Google US acts exclusively as a “sub-service provider” for Google Ireland. Consequently, due to the current legal situation in the USA, it cannot be ruled out that the relevant US authorities may access the data stored by Google US. Furthermore, unfortunately, due to the current legal situation in the USA, it cannot even be ruled out that the relevant US authorities may even access the data stored by Google Ireland exclusively in Europe.
Transfer to third countries
A transfer of data to the USA cannot be ruled out.

4.3 Google Adwords Conversion Tracking
This website uses Google Conversion Tracking, an analysis service provided by Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; hereinafter referred to as “Google”). If you reach our website via a Google ad, a so-called “conversion cookie” is automatically set by Google Adwords, not by us. This cookie automatically loses its validity after 30 days and is not used to identify you personally. Each Adwords customer, and therefore we too, receive a different cookie from Google. This means that the cookies cannot be tracked across the websites of different Adwords customers.
By setting this “conversion cookie”, both Google and the respective Adwords customer, and therefore also we, can recognize firstly that someone has clicked on the respective ad and has therefore been redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag and secondly how often they have clicked on the respective ad again within 30 days. The information collected with the help of the “conversion cookie” is used to create conversion statistics by Google.
Important for you: we only learn the total number and frequency of users who clicked on the respective ad and were redirected to a website with a conversion tracking tag. However, we do not receive any information with which we could personally identify you as a user.
If you do not wish to participate in the tracking process, you can refuse the setting of a cookie required for this – for example, by using a browser setting that generally deactivates the automatic setting of cookies. Please bear in mind that completely deactivating the setting of cookies may result in the website no longer being displayed correctly. You can also deactivate the setting of cookies for conversion tracking by setting your browser to block cookies from the domain “www.googleadservices.com”. Alternatively, you can disable or prevent the use of this technology offered by Google by visiting the following page and reading how this is possible:
https://www.youronlinechoices.com/de/praferenzmanagement/
As part of its voluntary commitment and its data protection policy, Google has declared that it will comply with the procedure described there. Please note that you may not delete the opt-out cookies set in this way as long as you do not wish measurement data to be recorded. If you have deleted all your cookies in the browser, you must set the respective opt-out cookie again via the above-mentioned link.
