Web analysis by means of Matomo

On our Kindermann website, we use the "Matomo" software(www.matomo.org), a service provided by InnoCraft Ltd, 150 Willis St, 6011 Wellington, New Zealand. The software sets a cookie on your computer, with which your browser can be recognized. The information collected in this way is stored exclusively on our server. It is not passed on to third parties.

Matomo has been set by us so that your IP address is not stored in full, but 2 bytes of the IP address are masked (e.g. 192.168.xxx.xxx). In this way, an assignment of the shortened IP address to the calling computer is excluded and a direct personal reference is not possible.

The legal basis on which we process personal data using Matomo is Art. 6 (1) lit. f of the DSGVO.

We need the data to analyze the use of our website and individual functions, and to optimize the offer of individual components of the website and its user-friendliness.

The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required for our purposes.

You may object to the recording of data in the manner described above:

1. You can completely disable the storage of cookies in your browser. However, this means that you may no longer be able to use some functions of our website.
2. You can enable the "Do-not-track" setting in your browser. Our Matomo system is configured to respect this setting.
3. You can create a so-called opt-out cookie, which is valid for two years. This has the consequence that Matomo will not register your further visits. Note, however, that the opt-out cookie is deleted when you delete all cookies.

For more information about Matomo's privacy practices, please see the Matomo privacy policy at matomo.org/privacy-policy/.

Information about cookies

1. We use cookies to optimize our Internet presence. These are small text files that are stored in the RAM of your computer. These cookies are deleted again after closing the browser. Other cookies remain on your computer (long-term cookies) and recognize it the next time you visit. This allows us to provide you with better access to our site.
2. You can prevent cookies from being stored by selecting "Block cookies" in your browser settings. However, this may result in a functional restriction of our offers.

Amazon Content Delivery Network

1. Purpose of processing
   The website of Kindermann uses the Content Delivery Network (CDN) Cloudfront from Amazon Web Services. The registered office of this service provider is:
   Amazon Web Services Inc.
   410 Terry Avenue
   North Seattle, WA 98109-5210
   Thanks to CDN, large media such as web videos can be made available to users quickly and securely. To do this, CND uses proxy servers around the world that cache duplicate website files locally, reducing website load time and increasing user access speed. This also allows for greater resilience and increased protection against data loss. Through this retrieval of the files from the Amazon servers, user information about the use of our website (such as the IP address) may be transmitted to Amazon servers and stored there. If users from a non-EU country call up the site, the data will end up on servers outside the EU. Amazon has therefore contractually agreed to comply with the level of data protection in the EU via standard contractual clauses: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/dec_impl/2021/914/oj?locale=de
2. Legal basis
   The use of Amazon Web Services and the Amazon CDN Cloudfront is in the legitimate interest of increased reliability of the website, better protection against data loss and faster loading speed. The legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para.1 a) DSGVO. You can learn more about the data protection of Amazon Web Services at: https://aws.amazon.com/de/compliance/gdpr-center/Amazon
   Web Services Inc. is certified for the us-European data protection agreement "Privacy Shield", which ensures compliance with the EU applicable data protection level.
3. Right of withdrawal
   If you do not wish these cookies to be stored, please deactivate the acceptance of these cookies in your internet browser. However, this may result in a functional restriction of our website.
