GGP Media shall not disclose your personal data to any third parties nor use it for any other purposes. GGP Media employees are bound by a duty of confidentiality.

Automatically collected information

Whenever you access GGP Media’s website, general information is automatically collected (not during registration) that is not personal in nature (e.g., browser used, number of visits, average time spent on the website, pages accessed). This information is used to improve the attractiveness, content and functionality of the website. In these instances, your personal data is not passed on or used for other purposes.

Cookies/Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. ("Google"). Google Analytics uses "cookies", text files that are stored on your computer to help analyse your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website (including your IP address) will be transmitted to a Google server in the US and stored there. In addition, the Google Analytics code on this website has the extension “gat._anonymizeIp();” provided by Google in order to ensure anonymous documentation of IP addresses. The last two digits of your IP address are truncated prior to transmission, making it impossible to identify the user.

On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, for compiling reports on website activity for the website operator, and for providing other services relating to website activity and Internet usage to the website operator. Under no circumstances will Google associate or merge your IP address with any other data held by Google.

You can prevent the use of cookies by simply selecting the appropriate settings on your browser; however, please note that if you do this you may not be able to access the whole website and its functions.

You may object to Google Analytics collecting and using your IP address at any time with future effect. You may also install a plugin offered by Google for this purpose. You can find the plug in as well as more information on Google’s website at http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de
