For direct or indirect references to external websites (hyperlinks) that lie outside the author's responsibility, liability would only arise if the author had knowledge of illegal content and it was technically possible and reasonable to prevent its use. The author emphasizes that at the time of linking, no illegal content was recognizable on the linked pages. The author has no control over current and future content as well as the authorship of the linked pages and expressly distances himself from any changes made after the link was set. This distancing applies to all links and references within our own internet offering, including guest books and forums.

Personal data is only shared for the stated purposes. This occurs either based on your consent, for the assertion, exercise, or defense of legal claims, due to legal obligations, or when it is necessary for contract processing.

7. Analysis Tools

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC ("Google"): Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, California, 94043. This website uses the "Universal Analytics" mode, allowing data, sessions, and interactions across multiple devices to be assigned to a pseudonymous user ID to analyze user activities across devices.

Google Analytics uses "cookies", text files placed on your computer, to analyze how users interact with the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the USA. If IP anonymization is activated on this website, Google will truncate your IP address within Member States of the European Union or other parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before transmission. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. We point out that on this website Google Analytics has been extended by the code "anonymizeIp" to ensure an anonymized collection of IP addresses (so-called IP masking). The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data. More information about the terms of use and data protection can be found here.

On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activity, and provide other services related to website and internet usage.

8. Social Media Plugins

We use social plugins from LinkedIn, Xing, Instagram, and YouTube on our website according to Article 6 Paragraph 1 Sentence 1 lit. f GDPR to increase the visibility of our company. This advertising purpose is considered a legitimate interest under the GDPR. The data protection-compliant use is the responsibility of the respective providers, who are responsible for proper operation.

On our website, we use social plugins ("plugins") from LinkedIn, Xing, Instagram, and YouTube, operated by the following social media platforms:

LinkedIn, LinkedIn Corporation, 1000 W. Maude Ave Sunnyvale, CA 9408
Xing, Xing Inc., 3-8, Momozono-cho, Mizuho-ku, Nagoya, Aichi 467-0855, Japan
Instagram, Instagram LLC., 1601 Willow Road, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA
YouTube, YouTube Inc., San Bruno, 901 Cherry Ave, USA

The plugins are marked with the logos of the respective social media platforms. When you visit a page on our website that contains such a plugin, your browser establishes a direct connection to the servers of the respective social media platform. The plugin content is directly transmitted to your browser and integrated into the page. This allows the platforms to receive information that your browser has accessed the respective page on our website, even if you do not have a profile or are not logged in. This information (including your IP address) is transmitted directly from your browser to a server of the platforms and stored there.
If you are logged into the social media platforms, they can directly associate your visit to our website with your account. If you interact with the plugins, this information is also transmitted directly to a server of the respective platform and stored there.

The information is also published on your LinkedIn, Xing, LinkedIn, and YouTube accounts and displayed to your contacts:

If you do not want the social media platforms to directly associate the data collected through our website with your profile, you must log out of your accounts before visiting our website. You can also completely prevent the plugins from loading with add-ons for your browser, e.g., with the script blocker "NoScript" (http://noscript.net/).

For the purpose and scope of data collection and further processing and use of the data by the social media platforms, as well as your related rights and settings options for protecting your privacy, please refer to the privacy policies of the respective platforms:

This right also exists if you have objected under Art. 21(1) GDPR. In such cases, the data may only be processed with your consent or for specific legal purposes.

10. Right to Object

If we process your personal data based on legitimate interests according to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, you can object according to Art. 21 GDPR. This is possible if there are reasons arising from your particular situation or if the objection is directed against direct marketing. In the latter case, there is a general right to object that does not require a particular situation. To exercise your right to withdraw or object, an email to kontakt@moc-agency.com is sufficient. If data processing is based on Art. 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data for reasons arising from your particular situation. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions. We will no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for processing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms or the processing serves the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims (objection under Art. 21(1) GDPR).

If personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, you can object at any time. This also applies to profiling related to such direct marketing. After your objection, your data will no longer be used for direct marketing (objection under Art. 21(2) GDPR). In case of violations of the GDPR, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, preferably in your place of residence, workplace, or the place of the alleged infringement. You can have data that we process based on your consent or in fulfillment of a contract automatically transferred to yourself or a third party in a commonly used, machine-readable format. Direct transfer to another controller will only be carried out if technically feasible.

11. Data Security

To protect confidential data, we use SSL/TLS encryption for the transmission of orders or inquiries. This can be identified by the address line of the browser switching from “http://” to “https://” and by a lock symbol in your browser line. The SSL/TLS encryption ensures that your transmitted data is protected against reading by third parties.

12. Children's Privacy

Our services are not directed to children under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect or solicit personal data from children under 18. If you are under 18, please do not send any personal data about yourself to us. If we learn that we have collected personal data from a child under age 18 without verification of parental consent, we will delete that information as quickly as possible. If you believe that we might have any information from or about a child under 18, please contact us at hello@market-craft.com
