The protection of your privacy when processing personal data is an important concern for us. When you visit our website, our web servers store by default the IP address of your terminal device, which you have received from your Internet service provider, the website from which you visit us, the web pages that you visit on our site, as well as the date and duration of the visit. This information is absolutely necessary for the technical transmission of the web pages and secure server operation. A personalized evaluation of this data does not take place.
If you send us data via contact form, this data will be stored on our servers in the course of data backup. Your data will only be used by us to process your request. Your data will be treated strictly confidential. Your data will not be passed on to third parties.
profimusic gmbh reserves the right to adjust the content of the data protection provisions if necessary. The customer is therefore recommended to view them again at regular intervals.

The same applies in the case that we supply you with information material on request or when we answer your inquiries. In these cases we will always point this out to you. Furthermore, we only store the data that you have transmitted to us automatically or voluntarily.
When you use one of our services, we usually only collect the data that is necessary to provide you with our service. We may ask you for additional information, but this is voluntary. Whenever we process personal data, we do so in order to provide you with our service or to pursue our commercial objectives.

3. Automatic data collection through cookies, sessions and log files
A cookie is a small text file that is stored in the cache of your browser and that enables an analysis of your use of our website. This enables us, for example, to greet you personally on your next visit or to display information specifically tailored to your interests. Furthermore, cookies are set by our contractual partners for the purpose of evaluating user behavior in order to optimize advertising (so-called “social targeting”). A session is a single session that is stored on our server for a short period of time. Log files are created by the server and stored by us. They contain automatically kept logs of all or certain actions of processes on a computer system.
No security-related or – with the exception of your IP address – personal data is stored in the cookies, sessions and log files. Furthermore, these files cannot transmit viruses, spy out data on your computer or send e-mails unnoticed. Also, each web server can only read the cookies that it has set itself.
The following data is automatically collected by our computer system when you call up our web pages by means of cookies, sessions or log files: + Your Internet address (IP address)/host name + User agent/browser type and version + Website from which you visit us (referrer URL) + Operating system used + Website from which you are redirected to other websites + Page views on our website + Date and time of your access + Your customer number + Your name (encrypted) + Your layout in the store + Session + Session ID + Campaign banner.
This data is stored separately from the data you have provided as part of a customer account with us. There is no linking of this data. The automatically collected data is evaluated for statistical purposes in order to optimize our websites and our offers.
If you do not wish cookies and log files to be used, you can block or restrict their use in your browser. However, it cannot be ruled out that you will then no longer be able to use individual functions of our pages. As an alternative to ordering online, you can also order from us by telephone, post or e-mail.

5. Web Tracking and Web Analytics
Google Tag Manager: This website uses Google Tag Manager. The Tag Manager does not collect any personal data. The tool provides for the triggering of other tags, which in turn may collect data. Google Tag Manager does not access this data. If a deactivation has been made at the domain or cookie level, this remains in place for all tracking tags implemented with Google Tag Manager. You can find Google’s privacy notice for this tool here: https://marketingplatform.google.com/about/analytics/tag-manager/use-policy/
6. Advertising and Remarketing Tools
Use of Google Remarketing: This website uses the remarketing function of Google Inc (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; “Google”). The function is used to present interest-based advertisements to website visitors within the Google advertising network. The technology enables us to serve automatically generated, targeted advertisements after your visit to our website. The ads are based on the products and services you clicked on during your last visit to our website. For this purpose, a so-called “cookie” is stored in the browser of the website visitor, which makes it possible to recognize the visitor when he or she visits websites that belong to Google’s advertising network. Cookies are small text files that are stored in your browser when you visit our website. Google usually stores information such as your web request, IP address, browser type, browser language, date and time of your request. This information is used to associate the web browser with a specific computer. On the pages of the Google advertising network, the visitor may then be presented with advertisements that relate to content that the visitor has previously accessed on websites that use Google’s remarketing function. If you have consented to the use at https://www.google.com/settings/u/0/ads/authenticated that your browsing history is linked by Google to your Google account and information from your Google account is used for ad personalization, the remarketing function is also carried out across devices. Google collects your Google ID and uses it for the purpose of cross-device recognition. According to its own information, Google does not collect any personal data during this process. However, if you do not wish to use the Google remarketing function, you can deactivate it by making the appropriate settings at http://www.google.com/settings/ads or in the “My Account” area. Alternatively, you can deactivate the use of cookies for interest-based advertising via the advertising network initiative by following the instructions at http://www.youronlinechoices.com/ch-de/praferenzmanagement or http://optout.networkadvertising.org. You may also 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. For more information on how Google uses cookies, please refer to Google’s privacy policy at https://policies.google.com/privacy?gl=ch.
Google DoubleClick: This website continues to use Google’s DoubleClick online marketing tool. DoubleClick uses cookies to serve ads that are relevant to users, to improve campaign performance reports, or to prevent a user from seeing the same ads more than once. Via a cookie ID, a pseudonymous identification number assigned to your browser, Google records which ads are served in which browser and can thus prevent them from being displayed more than once. Information about user activity on our websites is assigned to this pseudonym. This also enables Google and its partner sites to serve ads based on previous visits to websites. Google transmits the information generated by the Doubleclick cookies to a server in the USA and stores it there. Google observes the data protection provisions of the US-EU “Privacy Shield” agreement and is certified for the “Privacy Shield” agreement: https://www.privacyshield.gov/ps/eu-us-framework. A transfer of data to third parties only takes place within the scope of legal regulations or order processing. In addition, DoubleClick can use cookie IDs to record so-called conversions that are related to ad requests. This is the case, for example, when a user sees a DoubleClick ad and later calls up the advertiser’s website with the same browser and buys something there. According to Google, DoubleClick cookies do not contain any personal information. Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection with Google’s server. We have no influence on the scope and further use of the data collected by Google through the use of this tool and therefore inform you according to our state of knowledge: Through the integration of DoubleClick, Google receives the information that you have called up the corresponding part of our website or clicked on an ad from us. If you are registered with a Google service, Google can assign the visit to your account. Even if you are not registered with Google or have not logged in, there is the possibility that the provider learns your IP address and stores it. The legal basis for the processing of your data is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f DSGVO. The DoubleClick cookies are deleted after six months at the latest. By using DoubleClick, we pursue the interest of showing you advertising that might be of interest to you in order to make our website more interesting for you. You can find more information about DoubleClick at https://support.google.com/faqs/answer/2727482, and general information about data protection at Google at https://policies.google.com/privacy. Alternatively, you can visit the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) website at https://thenai.org/. You can prevent participation in this tracking process in various ways and thus exercise your right to object:
(a) by adjusting your browser software settings accordingly; in particular, suppressing third-party cookies will result in you not receiving third-party ads;
b) by disabling conversion tracking cookies by setting your browser to block cookies from the domain “www.googleadservices.com”, https://adssettings.google.com/, which setting will be deleted when you delete your cookies;
c) by disabling the interest-based ads of the providers that are part of the “About Ads” self-regulatory campaign, through the link https://optout.aboutads.info/, this setting being deleted when you delete your cookies;
d) by permanently disabling them in your Firefox, Internet Explorer or Google Chrome browsers at the link http://www.google.ch/settings/ads/plugin.
Use of the Facebook Custom Audiences Pixel: In order to present interest-based advertisements to visitors to our website during their visit to Facebook, we use “Custom Audiences Pixel” from Facebook Inc, 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA (“Facebook”). For this purpose, we have implemented a Facebook pixel on our website, which establishes a direct connection to the Facebook servers when you visit our website. This transmits to the Facebook server that you have visited our website and Facebook assigns this information to your personal Facebook user account. For more information on the collection and use of data by Facebook, as well as your rights in this regard and options for protecting your privacy, please refer to Facebook’s privacy policy at https://www.facebook.com/privacy/policy/. If you wish to object to the described connection with Facebook, you can do so by notifying Facebook.
