so that a website using Jetpack is better protected against brute force attacks. Jetpack also optimizes and speeds up the loading of the images integrated on the website. Jetpack places a cookie on the information technology system
of the person concerned. Each time one of the individual pages of this website is accessed, which is operated by the controller and on which a Jetpack component has been integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology
system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective Jetpack component to use data for analysis purposes to be sent to Automattic. As part of this technical process, Automattic obtains knowledge of data that is
subsequently used to create an overview of website visits. The data obtained in this way is used to analyze the behavior of the data subject who accessed the website of the controller and is evaluated with the aim of optimizing
the website. The data collected via the Jetpack component will not be used to identify the data subject without the prior express consent of the data subject. The data also become known to Quantcast. Quantcast uses the data for
the same purposes as Automattic.
The person concerned can prevent the setting of cookies by means of a corresponding setting in the internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the internet browser used would also prevent Automattic /
Quantcast from setting a cookie on the information technology system of the person concerned. In addition, cookies already set by Automattic can be deleted at any time via the internet browser or other software programs. Furthermore,
the data subject has the option to object to the collection of the data generated by the Jetpack cookie relating to the use of this website and the processing of this data by Automattic / Quantcast and to prevent such. To do this,
the person concerned must press the opt-out button under the link https://www.quantcast.com/opt-out/, which sets an opt-out cookie. The opt-out cookie set with the objection is stored on the information technology system used by
the person concerned. If the cookies on the data subject’s system are deleted after an objection, the data subject must call the link again and set a new opt-out cookie. By setting the opt-out cookie, however, there is the possibility
that the data controller’s websites can no longer be used in full by the data subject. The applicable data protection regulations of Automattic are available at https://automattic.com/privacy/. The applicable data protection regulations
of Quantcast are available at https://www.quantcast.com/privacy/.

4.2 Technical security
Elektron Berlin GmbH uses technical and organizational security measures to protect your data managed by us against accidental or intentional manipulation, loss, destruction or against access by unauthorized persons. Our security measures are continuously
improved in line with technological developments. For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as inquiries that you send to us as the website operator, this page uses SSL encryption (Secure
Socket Layer) in connection with the highest level of encryption provided by your browser is supported. As a rule, this is 256-bit encryption. If your browser does not support 256-bit encryption, we use 128-bit v3 technology instead.
You can tell whether an individual page of our website is transmitted in encrypted form by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from “http: //” to “https: //” and the lock symbol in your browser line. If SSL encryption
is activated, the data that you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties. We would like to point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g. when communicating by email) can have security gaps. It is not possible to
completely protect data from third-party access.
4.3 Legal basis for processing
Art. 6 I lit. a GDPR serves our company as the legal basis for processing operations in which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject
is a party, as is the case, for example, with processing operations that are necessary for the delivery of goods or the provision of any other service or consideration, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. b GDPR. The same
applies to such processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of inquiries about our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation that requires the
processing of personal data, such as to fulfill tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. c GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject
or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor to our company were injured and his name, age, health insurance data or other vital information had to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third
party. Then the processing would be based on Art. 6 I lit. d GDPR. Ultimately, processing operations could be based on Art. 6 I lit. f GDPR. Processing operations that are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases are
based on this legal basis if processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh them. Is
the processing of personal data based on Article 6 I lit. f GDPR is our legitimate interest in carrying out our business for the benefit of all our customers.
4.4 Legal or contractual regulations for the provision of personal data; Necessity for the conclusion of the contract; Obligation of the data subject to provide the personal data; possible consequences of not providing
We inform you that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or may also result from contractual regulations (e.g. information about the contracting party). Sometimes it may be necessary to conclude a contract that
a data subject provides us with personal data that we subsequently have to process. For example, the person concerned is obliged to provide us with personal data if our company concludes a contract with them. Failure to provide
personal data would result in the contract not being concluded with the person concerned. Before the data subject provides personal data, the data subject must contact one of our employees. Our employee clarifies the person concerned
on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of the personal data is required by law or contract or is required for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data and the consequences
of not providing the personal data.
4.5 Rights of the data subjects
You have the right to information about the data we have stored, the duration of the data, the purpose and legal basis for the storage, as well as the origin and recipient of the transmission. Inaccurate data must be corrected, data that has been stored
improperly or is no longer required must be deleted. In addition, the person concerned has the right to object, the right to restrict processing and the right to data portability. This information will be created upon your request.
This information is free of charge. You also have the right to file a complaint directly with a supervisory authority.
4.6 Revocation of your consent to data processing
Some data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You have the option to revoke your consent at any time. All you need to do is send an informal message to service@elektron-berlin.de by email. The legality of the data processing
carried out before the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.
