Subscribers may also be informed by e-mail about circumstances relevant to the service or registration (for example, changes to the newsletter offer or technical circumstances).

For this purpose, we log the order of the newsletter, the sending of a confirmation email and the receipt of the response requested herewith. No other data is collected.

Google reCAPTCHA

We use reCAPTCHA from Google (hereinafter “reCAPTCHA”) to prevent spam and unauthorized calls to user accounts, e.g. from bots that check stolen passwords. The provider is Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”).

The purpose of reCAPTCHA is to verify whether data entry on our websites (e.g. in a contact form or login) is done by a human or by an automated program. For this purpose, reCAPTCHA analyzes the behavior of the website visitor based on various characteristics. This analysis starts automatically as soon as the website visitor enters the website. For analysis, reCAPTCHA evaluates various information (e.g. IP address, time spent by the website visitor on the website or mouse movements made by the user). The data collected during the analysis is forwarded to Google.

The analyses run in the background. Website visitors are therefore not informed separately that an analysis is taking place.

The data processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. LOX24 has a legitimate interest in protecting its web offers from abusive automated spying and from SPAM. This measure also serves to protect customer accounts and is thus also in the interest of customers

For more information on Google reCAPTCHA and Google’s privacy policy, please visit: https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/ and https://www.google.com/recaptcha/intro/android.html.

Use of script libraries (Google Web Fonts)

In order to display our content correctly and graphically appealing across browsers, we use script libraries and font libraries such as Google Web Fonts(https://www.google.com/webfonts/) on this website. Google Web Fonts are transferred to your browser’s cache to avoid multiple loads. If the browser does not support Google Web Fonts or prevents access, content is displayed in a standard font.

Calling script libraries or font libraries automatically triggers a connection to the operator of the library. It is theoretically possible – although it is currently unclear whether and, if so, for what purposes – for operators of such libraries to collect data.

The privacy policy of the library operator Google can be found here: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/

Use of Google Maps

This website uses Google Maps API to visually display geographical information. When using Google Maps, Google also collects, processes and uses data about visitors’ use of the map functions. You can find more information about data processing by Google in the Google privacy policy. There you can also change your personal privacy settings in the Privacy Center.

Detailed instructions on how to manage your own data in connection with Google products can be found here.

Embedded YouTube videos

We embed YouTube videos on some of our websites. The operator of the corresponding plugins is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave, San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. When you visit a page with the YouTube plugin, a connection to YouTube servers is established. This tells Youtube which pages you are visiting. If you are logged into your Youtube account, Youtube can assign your surfing behavior to you personally. You can prevent this by logging out of your Youtube account beforehand.

When a Youtube video is started, the provider uses cookies that collect information about user behavior.

Those who have deactivated the saving of cookies for the Google Ad program will not have to deal with such cookies when watching Youtube videos. However, Youtube also stores non-personal usage information in other cookies. If you would like to prevent this, you must block the storage of cookies in the browser.

For more information on data protection at “Youtube”, please refer to the provider’s privacy policy at: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/

Google AdWords

Our website uses Google conversion tracking. If you have accessed our website via an ad placed by Google, Google Adwords will set a cookie on your computer. The conversion tracking cookie is set when a user clicks on an ad placed by Google. These cookies lose their validity after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. If the user visits certain pages of our website and the cookie has not yet expired, we and Google can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page. Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. Cookies can therefore not be tracked through the websites of AdWords customers. The information collected using the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Clients learn the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page tagged with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information with which users can be personally identified.

If you do not wish to participate in the tracking, you can refuse the setting of a cookie required for this – for example, by means of a browser setting that generally deactivates the automatic setting of cookies or by setting your browser so that cookies from the domain “googleleadservices.com” are blocked.

Please note that you must not delete the opt-out cookies as long as you do not want any measurement data to be recorded. If you have deleted all your cookies in the browser, you must set the respective opt-out cookie again.

Use of Google Remarketing

This website uses the remarketing function of Google Inc. The function is used to present interest-based advertisements to website visitors within the Google advertising network. A so-called “cookie” is stored in the browser of the website visitor, which makes it possible to recognize the visitor when they visit websites that belong to Google’s advertising network. On these pages, the visitor may be presented with advertisements that relate to content that the visitor has previously viewed on websites that use Google’s remarketing feature.

According to its own information, Google does not collect any personal data during this process. If you still do not wish to use the Google remarketing function, you can deactivate it in principle by making the appropriate settings at http://www.google.com/settings/ads. Alternatively, you can disable the use of cookies for interest-based advertising via the ad network initiative by following the instructions at http://www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp.

Account charging, invoice and payment service provider

We use a number of external payment service providers to order SMS credit and pay bills. However, there is a possibility for you to use a normal bank transfer for payment. In this case, no service provider comes into contact with your data.

Paypal

We offer the option to process the payment transaction via the payment service provider PayPal (PayPal (Europe) S.à.r.l. et Cie, S.C.A., 22-24 Boulevard Royal, L-2449 Luxembourg).

In this context, we pass on the following data to Klarna as far as it is necessary for the fulfillment of the contract (Art. 6 para. 1 lit b. DSGVO).

First name
Last name
Transfer amount

Depending on how your bank manages online accounts, different verification steps are necessary: If your bank only accepts transfer orders if there is sufficient account coverage, then Klarna does not perform an account coverage check. In all other cases, Klarna checks whether the sum of the account balance and the overdraft facility, minus the amount of the overdraft facility, is sufficient. unrecognized sales, covers the amount to be transferred.

Klarna reserves the right in cases of increased risk of abuse to check instant transfers of the last 30 days to see if they were successfully executed. There are no credit checks based on historical payment data.

The check is performed either via your bank’s HBCI interface or via the user interface of your online banking – as if you were logging in yourself. If you manage multiple accounts, information about accounts that are not selected will not be saved.

Furthermore, Klarna stores your online banking user identification (login name/account number) as a hash value. PIN and TAN codes are not stored.

We have no influence on this process and only receive the result, whether the payment was made or rejected, your account number, sort code, subject, amount and date.

You can find more information about objection and removal options vis-à-vis Klarna at: https://www.sofort.com/payment/wizard/getCmsContent/data_protection/DE/0/de.

Klarna stores your name, account number, bank code, subject, date and transfer amount for billing purposes within the legal retention periods. The basis for this is § 28 para. 1. sentence 1 no. 1. BDSG.

Your data will be stored by us until the completion of payment processing. This includes the time required to process refunds, receivables management, and fraud prevention.
