COOKIES & SOCIAL MEDIA

After activation, the plugins also collect personal data such as your IP address and send it to the servers of the respective provider where it is stored. In addition, activated social plugins set a cookie with a unique identifier when loading the relevant website. This also allows providers to create profiles of your usage behaviour. The data will be used to show you personalized advertising, as well as for market and opinion research purposes.

Data transfer is independent of whether you have an account with the plugin provider and are logged in there. If you are logged in with the plugin provider, your data collected with us will be assigned to your existing account with the plugin provider.

We have no exact information about the concrete use of the data nor about the storage period. Please read the privacy policy of the respective providers.

We have integrated the plugins of the following providers on our website:

- Facebook (Facebook Inc., USA, Data protection declaration: http://www.facebook.com/policy.php)

Beach Cafe uses cookies to create pseudonymous user profiles in compliance with legal requirements, but also to make the use of our website as optimal as possible. We can evaluate usage profiles in order to understand the use of our website, to determine target audiences for our products and to optimize our offers. When we create pseudonymous user profiles, we do not directly associate this data with you and therefore cannot trace specific activities back to you.

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer when you visit our website and allow your browser to be reassigned. Cookies store information such as your language setting, the duration of your visit to our website or the information you enter there. This avoids the need to re-enter all necessary data for each use. Cookies also enable us to recognize your preferences and to tailor our website to your interests.

Most browsers automatically accept cookies. If you want to prevent cookies from being saved, select “do not accept cookies” in the browser settings. You can find out how this works in detail from your browser provider’s instructions. You can delete cookies that are already stored on your computer at any time. However, we would like to point out that our website may only be of limited use without cookies. Alternatively, you can prevent the collection and forwarding of your data (particularly your IP address) and the processing of this data by deactivating the execution of Java Script in your browser or by installing a tool such as “NoScript.”

We would like to explain some of the services in more detail below:

Google Analytics

Our website uses Google Analytics, a service of Google Inc., USA (“Google”). Google Analytics enables us to evaluate your website use in order to compile analyses of website activity and make use of other services associated with website and Internet use.

We would like to point out that the code “gat.anonymizeIp();” has been added to Google Analytics to ensure anonymous collection of IP addresses (so-called IP masking). Your IP address will be anonymised by Google within member states of the European Union or in other signatory states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the US and shortened there. The IP address transmitted by your browser with Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data. More information on terms of use and data protection can be found at https://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html and https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/.

In addition, you can prevent Google from collecting data by downloading and installing the browser add-on. By clicking the following link, an opt-out cookie is set that will prevent the future collection of your data when you visit this website: Disabling Google Analytics.

We also use the Google Conversion Tracking service as part of Google Analytics. This enables us to record the behavior of our website visitors. For example, we are shown how often the contact form has been filled in. We also see how many clicks on advertisements from external sources (AdWords, LinkedIn, Xing, Bing) have led to our website.

Facebook Custom Audience Pixel

This website uses Custom Audience Pixel, a service of Facebook Inc., USA. Custom Audience Pixel is a Java script code that we have integrated into each of our web pages. We use custom audience pixels to collect information about the way visitors use our website. This pixel collects and reports Facebook information about the user’s browser session, a hashed version of the Facebook ID and the URL being viewed. Each Facebook user has a unique and device-independent Facebook ID that enables us to address and recognize users across multiple devices on the social network Facebook so that we can reach our visitors again for advertising purposes through Facebook ads. After 180 days, the user information will be deleted until the user returns to our website. Therefore, no personal information about the individual website visitors is disclosed to Beach Cafe and website customer target audiences can only be specifically advertised to as soon as they have reached a significant mass in terms of numbers.

For more information on Facebook and its privacy settings, please see the privacy policy and terms of use of Facebook Inc.

Facebook Audience Building

Facebook will upload the resulting actionable audiences, in accordance with Beach Cafe’s instructions, into Facebook’s Custom Audience feature to allow for targeted advertising within Facebook. When using Facebook’s Custom Audience feature, the data used to build the audiences is hashed. For more information on Facebook and its privacy settings, please see the privacy policy and terms of use of Facebook Inc.

It is important to us to process your data within the EU/EEA. However, we may use service providers who process data outside the EU/EEA, for example, Experian use a data sub-processor in India. In these cases, we ensure that an appropriate level of data protection is established prior to the transfer of your personal data.

How long will my data be stored?

We delete personal data as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies and legal retention periods do not preclude deletion.

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.
