1. The Personal Information We Process; Purposes of Processing

Depending on how you interact with us, we process different kinds of PI and in different ways. Some data is automatically processed if you visit our Sites. Other data is only processed if you actively submit it to us.

  • The IP address of your device as well as your internet service provider (ISP);
  • The referral/exit URL; and
  • The visited pages of the Site

Information about your device (type of device, browser type and version, as well as settings, installed plug-ins, operating system). We process Website Usage Data to allow you to surf the Site and to ensure its functionality. We also process Website Usage Data to perform analyses on the performance of the Site, to continuously improve the Site and correct errors, to ensure IT security and operation of our systems, as well as to prevent or uncover abuse. We might further process this data in aggregated or pseudonymized form to analyze trends, administer the Sites, track users' movements around the Site, and to gather demographic information about our user base as a whole or to improve marketing (including serving you personalized, interest-based ads) as well as the user experience on our Site and guaranteeing the safety of our IT systems.

2. Sharing Personal Information with Third Parties

We treat your PI with care and confidentially and will only pass it on to third parties to the extent described below and not beyond. We do not share, sell, rent, or trade PI with third parties for any promotional purposes. Where our service providers process PI, they will do so solely on our instructions and have undertaken to comply with strict contractual requirements for the security of your data (including, but not limited to, complying with this Privacy Policy).

Service Providers:Waknews transmits data to service providers that enable us to provide our Site and market, sell, and deliver our Services and Products.

  • Google Analytics: This is a web analytics service that tracks and reports website traffic. Using this service, we anonymize IP addresses so they are not sent to Google, which then uses the data to track and monitor use of our Site. This data is shared with other Google services. Google may use the collected data to contextualize and personalize the ads shown on its own advertising network. You can opt-out of having your activity on the Site available to Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics opt-out add-on to your browser. The add-on prevent the Google Analytics JavaScript (ga.js and dc.js) from sharing information with Google Analytics.

Public Authorities: Although we make every effort to preserve user privacy, we may need to disclose personal information when required by law, such as when we have a good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with a current judicial proceeding, a court order, or litigation or other legal process or action to protect our, our users' or third parties' rights, property or safety. We will transmit data to public authorities such as law enforcement or tax authorities only in the case of a legal obligation to do so based on a request for information from the respective authority.

3. Timeframe for Keeping Data

We process and store PI as long as necessary for the fulfillment of our contractual or legal obligations. Thus, we store the data as long as our contractual relationship with you as our customer obliges us to do so. After termination of our contract, we will store Personal Data only to the extent and for as long as applicable law requires. All other data will be deleted immediately when you, as a customer, unsubscribe from our Products or other services. If the remaining data is no longer required for the fulfillment of legal obligations, it will be regularly deleted, unless its further processing is necessary for the preservation of evidence or the prevention of legal claims from becoming time-barred.
