This includes information such as your real name, your address, your telephone number, your position and your company. Information that is not directly associated with your real identity – such as the number of users of a site – is not personal data. We only collect personal data from you via Traveltaa.com that you voluntarily provide to us.

Legal basis: § 25 para. 2 sentence 2 TTDSG, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR (legitimate interest of the controller)

Use of service providers

If we use external service providers for individual offers on these pages, they are selected with the greatest possible care from a data protection perspective. The type and scope of the data processing tasks to be carried out are contractually regulated and the commissioned service providers are specifically obliged to comply with the same level of data protection as is customary for us.

Information on the careful handling of personal data

While we strive to protect personal data, we cannot guarantee that this data is completely secure from attacks that may attempt to circumvent security measures or intercept transmissions over the Internet.

When entering e-mail addresses in forum postings, please note that these e-mail addresses can be copied, saved and possibly used against your will by third parties. We therefore advise you not to enter your e-mail address in the forums.

The same naturally applies to personal data that you may mention in postings. In particular, we strongly advise against mentioning such personal data.

We cannot accept any responsibility for the use of e-mail addresses or other, possibly personal data and information by third parties that you publish in the forums. Please be aware that personal information that you provide in the expert forums can be read by third parties and may be linked to information (user name, e-mail address, etc.) that you provide in these or other forums. Please therefore keep your inquiries in the expert forums anonymous as far as possible.

Important: In all our expert forums, only general information on the content of the questions can be provided. The answers are non-binding and cannot constitute a diagnosis or advice for individual cases due to the physical distance. TraveltaaMedia cannot accept any responsibility for consequences arising from non-compliance with this information.

Statistical recording and evaluation of our online offering

Our website collects anonymized statistical data about the surfing behavior of its visitors and shares this with a number of providers (so-called vendors). Consent to this is obtained via the Consent menu, which is displayed to visitors when they first visit our website. Within the consent menu, we inform our visitors about the purposes of the statistical evaluations and the respective recipient. Consents that visitors have given within the Consent menu can be revoked at any time by calling up the Consent menu at the bottom of the website.

Use of the Scalable Central Measurement Method from Traveltaa

Our website uses the measurement procedure of Traveltaa (https://www.Traveltaa.com) to determine statistical parameters about the use of our offers. The aim of the usage measurement is to statistically determine the number of visits to our website, the number of website visitors and their surfing behavior – on the basis of a uniform standard procedure – and thus to obtain market-wide comparable values.

1. legal basis for the processing

The purpose of processing personal data is to compile statistics and create user categories. The statistics are used to track and document the use of our website. The user categories form the basis for the interest-based targeting of advertising materials and advertising measures. In order to market this website, it is essential to measure usage in order to ensure comparability with other market participants. Our legitimate interest arises from the economic usability of the findings resulting from the statistics and user categories and the market value of our website – also in direct comparison with third-party websites – which can be determined on the basis of the statistics.

In addition, we have a legitimate interest in making the pseudonymized data available to Traveltaa, for the purposes of market research and for statistical purposes (Traveltaa). Furthermore, we have a legitimate interest in making the pseudonymized data available to Traveltaa for the further development and provision of interest-based advertising material.

2. type of data

Traveltaa collects the following data, which is personal data according to the EU GDPR:

• IP address: On the Internet, every device requires a unique address, the so-called IP address, to transmit data. The at least temporary storage of the IP address is technically necessary due to the way the Internet works. The IP addresses are shortened by 1 byte before any processing and are only processed further in anonymized form. There is no storage or further processing of the unabridged IP addresses.
• A randomly generated client identifier: Range processing uses either a third-party cookie, a first-party cookie, a local storage object or a signature created from various automatically transmitted information from your browser to recognize computer systems. This identifier is unique for a browser as long as the cookie or local storage object is not deleted. Measurement of the data and subsequent assignment to the respective client identifier is therefore also possible if you access other websites that also use the Traveltaa measurement procedure.
  The validity of the cookie is limited to a maximum of 1 year

3. use of the data

Traveltaa measurement method, which is used on this website, determines usage data. This is done in order to collect the performance values page impressions, visits and clients and to form further key figures from this (e.g. qualified clients). In addition, the measured data is used as follows:

• A so-called geolocalization, i.e. the assignment of a website call to the location of the call, takes place exclusively on the basis of the anonymized IP address and only up to the geographical level of the federal states / regions. Under no circumstances can the geographical information obtained in this way be used to draw conclusions about the specific location of a user.
• The usage data of a technical client (e.g. a browser on a device) is merged across websites and stored in a database. This information is used for the technical estimation of the socio-information age and gender and transferred to the service providers for further reach processing. As part of the study, socio-characteristics are technically estimated on the basis of a random sample, which can be assigned to the following categories: Age, gender, nationality, occupation, marital status, general household information, household income, place of residence, Internet use, online interests, place of use, user type.

4. storage period of the data

The full IP address is not stored by Traveltaa. The shortened IP address is stored for a maximum of 60 days. The usage data in connection with the unique identifier is stored for a maximum of 6 months.

5. disclosure of the data

The IP address and the shortened IP address are not passed on. For the preparation of the study, data with client identifiers is passed on to the following service providers:

Right of objection

If you do not wish to participate in the measurement, you can opt out in order to guarantee exclusion from the measurement, it is technically necessary to set a cookie. If you delete the cookies in your browser, it is necessary to repeat the opt-out process using the above link.

Further information on data protection in the measurement process can be found on the website of Traveltaa, which operates the measurement process.
