Data Protection

Links represent a dynamic process. We check external content for possible civil or criminal liability when we originally provide a link to it. However, we do not review the content we link to for any changes that could give rise to liability. If we discover that we provide a link that forms the basis for civil or criminal liability, we will remove the link to that site.

ARGUS DATA INSIGHTS^® Deutschland GmbH takes your personal data very seriously. We only collect, process, or use data relating to your visit to this website in accordance with data protection legislation. Please take a moment to note the following information about how we use your data, and how we guarantee necessary protections for your data.

Collection and processing of data relating to your visit on our homepage

When you access our homepage our servers automatically log data sent by your browser. This data is used for internal system purposes, and for statistical purposes. The following data is recorded: date and time of access, name of the files accessed, the volume of the data transmitted and success of the data retrieval, web browser, browser language, and requesting domain. In addition, the IP address will be logged. Personal data will only be collected when it is given voluntarily (for example during registration or submission of a query).

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses “cookies”, which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyze how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website (including your IP address) will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. In case of activation of the IP anonymization, Google will truncate/anonymize the last octet of the IP address for Member States of the European Union as well as for other parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases, the full IP address is sent to and shortened by Google servers in the USA. On behalf of the website provider Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity for website operators and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage to the website provider. Google will not associate your IP address with any other data held by Google. You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser. However, please note that if you do this, you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website. Furthermore you can prevent Google’s collection and use of data (cookies and IP address) by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en-GB.

You can refuse the use of Google Analytics by clicking on the following link. An opt-out cookie will be set on the computer, which prevents the future collection of your data when visiting this website: Disable Google Analytics

Further information concerning the terms and conditions of use and data privacy can be found at http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/gb.html or at https://www.google.de/intl/en_uk/policies/.
