VII. Definition of terms

This section provides you with an overview of the terms used in this data protection declaration. Many of the terms are of a legal nature, mainly defined in Art. 4 of the GDPR. The legal definitions are binding. The following explanations, on the other hand, are mainly intended for understanding. The terms are sorted alphabetically.

• Personal data: "Personal data" means any information which relates to an identified or identifiable natural person (henceforth referred to as "the affected person"); a natural person is regarded as identifiable if they can be identified directly or indirectly, particularly by means of assignment to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier such as a cookie or one or more special features which are an expression of the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of this natural person.
• Profiles containing user-related information: The processing of "profiles containing user-related information", or "profiles" for short, includes any type of automated processing of personal data which consists of using this personal data to analyse, evaluate or predict certain personal aspects relating to a natural person such as interest in certain content or products, clicking behaviour on a web site or whereabouts (depending on the type of profiling, different information concerning demographics, behaviour and interests such as interaction with websites and the content thereof etc.). Cookies and web beacons are often used for profiling purposes.
• Range measurement: The range measurement (also referred to as Web Analytics) is used to evaluate the flow of visitors to online content, and can include behaviour or the visitor’s interest in certain information such as web site content. With the aid of the range analysis, web site owners can see the time when visitors visit their website and the content that they are interested in, for example. This allows them to adapt the content of the web site to the needs of their visitors in a better way, for example. Pseudonymous cookies and web beacons are often used for range analysis purposes in order to recognize returning visitors and therefore obtain a more accurate analysis of the use of online content.
• Location data: Location data is created when a mobile device (or another device which has the technical requirements for location determination) connects to a radio cell, a WLAN or similar technical go-betweens and location determination functions. Location data is used to indicate the geographically determinable position on the planet where the respective device is located. For example, location data can be used to display map functions or other location-dependent information.
• Tracking: “Tracking” is when user behaviour can be traced across several online offerings. Normally, behavioural and interest information regarding the online offerings that are used is stored in cookies or on the servers of the tracking technology providers (known as profiling). This information can then be used to show users advertisements that are likely to match their interests, for example.
• Person responsible: The "person responsible" is the natural or legal person, authority, institution or other body which decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data, either on their own or jointly together with others.
• Processing: "Processing" is any procedure or series of procedures carried out with or without the aid of automated processes in connection with personal data. The term is wide-ranging, and covers almost every kind of data handling, be it collection, evaluation, storage, transmission or deletion.
