DATA PRIVACY
Our privacy policy applies globally!
area42 is a California registered company. Therefore, the basis of this privacy policy is the California Privacy Protection Agency (CPPA) Privacy Policy.About CPPA: In November 2020, California voters approved Proposition 24, the California Privacy Rights Act of 2020 (CPRA). The CPRA added new privacy provisions to the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018.
The California Privacy Rights Act created a new agency, the California Privacy Protection Agency (CPPA), to implement and enforce the law. The CPPA is governed by a five-member board of directors. The internet address is: https://cppa.ca.gov/
If the European Union Data Protection Regulation “GDPR” is mentioned in this data protection declaration, this means that the passage mentioned is part of our data protection declaration due to the CPPA regulations and also complies with the GDPR, or that the GDPR entails stricter regulations than the CPPA and therefore the GDPR version is used. The addresses of third-party providers that we may use on our pages or to which we link are those that apply to the European Union for inquiries. For visitors to this website outside the European Union, different addresses or responsible locations may apply. Typically these are the companies' closest regional locations. For users in the USA and companies whose headquarters are in the USA, this is the address of the corporate headquarters in the USA. All relevant addresses that are not specifically mentioned in this declaration can be found on the Internet. If you have specific questions or needs, we will be happy to help make such addresses accessible.For questions regarding this statement, as well as any other questions to area42, users can use the contact form at the bottom of the area42 home page.

This occurs regardless of whether YouTube provides a user account through which you are logged in or whether there is no user account. A connection to the Google advertising network is also established.

Social Networks
On this website we link to our presence in social networks or use social plugins such as “share” or “like” buttons. When you visit our website, no data is transmitted to the operator of the respective social network, but only when you actively follow the link to our profile on the respective social network or click on the social plugin. The following data categories are processed by the respective social network: · IP address · Date / time · Website visited
If you are logged into your user account of the respective network when you visit our profile page on a social network, the operator of the social network may be able to assign the information collected from the specific visit to your personal account. If you interact using a “Share” or “Like” button on the respective network, this information can also be assigned to the user’s personal account and, if necessary, published. If you want to prevent the collected information from being directly assigned to your user account, you must log out of the respective social network before accessing our profile page or using the social plugin. You can also configure the user account on the respective social network accordingly. If you access our profile page on a social network, the operator of the social network can also set cookies on your device, regardless of whether you have an account with the network or whether you are logged in there. Cookies are data packets that mark the user's end devices with a specific identifier. Cookies are primarily used to display personalized advertising to visitors to social networks, including our profile pages. This happens, for example, by showing the user on the social network's pages ads from advertising partners of the social network whose websites the user has previously visited. In addition, cookies make it possible to create statistics about the use of our profile page (e.g. number of page views, user categories). If we receive such statistical analyzes from the operator of the social network, the data will be anonymized beforehand, i.e. it is not possible for us to assign usage data to an individual user. The purpose we pursue for processing your data on our profile page on the respective social network is to provide information about our offers and services and to answer any inquiries on our profile page. The legal basis for processing is Article 6 Paragraph 1 f) GDPR. In this respect, public relations work is included in our legitimate interests within the meaning of the regulation. If you use a social plugin integrated by us, the legal basis is your consent in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 a) GDPR. We delete private messages that you send to us via social networks two years after the last communication with you. We generally leave public posts from you (e.g. in our timeline) permanently published until you expressly request their deletion. We have no influence on which data is collected and transmitted by the operator of the social network, to which third party recipients the data is transmitted by the operator of the social network and how long the data is stored by the operator of the social network. For this purpose, we refer to the data protection declaration of the respective social network. We reserve the right to delete illegal content published by users on our profile page on the respective social network, e.g. copyright violations or criminally relevant statements. According to the case law of the European Court of Justice, we are jointly responsible with the operator of the respective social network for the operation of our profile page or the social plugin with regard to compliance with data protection regulations. In this context, the operator of the social network provides the associated IT infrastructure and the website of the social network and is generally the primary contact when it comes to the processing of your data on the social network pages (e.g. information or deletion). However, you can also assert your legal rights against us. In this case, we will forward your inquiries to the operator of the social network. For US providers (Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Instagram, LinkedIn) data is transferred to the USA. By concluding so-called EU standard contractual clauses, they have committed themselves to maintaining a level of data protection that essentially corresponds to the European level. TikTok may also transfer personal data outside the European Economic Area (EEA) on the basis of EU standard contractual clauses.
Please note, however, that the existence of an appropriate data protection standard for providers outside the EU / EEA - even if EU standard contractual clauses are concluded - cannot be guaranteed in every case.
