scope

Diese Datenschutzerklärung soll die Nutzer dieser Website gemäß Bundesdatenschutzgesetz und Telemediengesetz über die Art, den Umfang und den Zweck der Erhebung und Verwendung personenbezogener Daten durch den Websitebetreiber YOLA Academy, Weindorfer Str. 9,
82418 Murnau, E-Mail: transform@yola-academy.com, Tel.: +49 8035 506 9069 informieren.

The website operator takes your data protection very seriously and treats your personal data confidentially and in accordance with legal regulations.

Please bear in mind that data transmission over the Internet can always be subject to security vulnerabilities. Complete protection against access by third parties is not possible.

Access data/server log files

The provider (or its webspace provider) collects data about every access to the website (so-called server log files). The access data includes:

Name of the accessed website, file, date and time of access, amount of data transferred, notification of successful access, browser type and version, the user's operating system, referrer URL (the previously visited page), IP address and the requesting provider.

The provider uses the log data only for statistical evaluations for the purpose of operating, securing and optimising the website. However, the provider reserves the right to subsequently review the log data if there are concrete indications that give rise to a justified suspicion of illegal use.

Handling of personal data

Personal data is information that can be used to identify a person, i.e. information that can be traced back to a person. This includes their name, email address or telephone number. However, data about preferences, hobbies, memberships or which websites someone has visited also counts as personal data.

Personal data is only collected, used and passed on by the provider if this is permitted by law or if users consent to the collection of data.

contact

When contacting the provider (e.g. via contact form or email), the user's details are stored for the purpose of processing the enquiry and in the event that follow-up questions arise.

Comments and contributions

When users leave comments on the blog or other posts, their IP addresses are stored. This is done for the security of the provider in case someone writes illegal content in comments and posts (insults, prohibited political propaganda, etc.). In this case, the provider itself can be prosecuted for the comment or post and is therefore interested in the identity of the author.

Comment subscriptions

Users can subscribe to follow-up comments. Users will receive a confirmation email to verify that they are the owners of the email address they entered. Users can unsubscribe from ongoing comment subscriptions at any time. The confirmation email will contain instructions on how to do this.

newsletter

The newsletter provides you with information about us and our offers.

If you would like to receive the newsletter, we require a valid email address from you as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the email address provided or that the owner agrees to receive the newsletter. No further data will be collected. This data will only be used to send the newsletter and will not be passed on to third parties.

When you subscribe to the newsletter, we store your IP address and the date of registration. This storage serves solely as proof in the event that a third party misuses an email address and registers to receive the newsletter without the knowledge of the authorised person.

You may revoke your consent to the storage of data, your email address and its use for sending the newsletter at any time. You can revoke your consent via a link in the newsletters themselves, in your profile area or by sending a message to the contact options above.

Integration of third-party services and content

It may happen that third-party content, such as videos from YouTube, map material from Google Maps, RSS feeds or graphics from other websites, is integrated into this online offering. This always requires that the providers of this content (hereinafter referred to as „third-party providers“) perceive the IP address of the users. Without the IP address, they would not be able to send the content to the browser of the respective user. The IP address is therefore necessary for the display of this content. We endeavour to use only content whose respective providers use the IP address solely for the delivery of the content. However, we have no influence on whether third-party providers store the IP address for statistical purposes, for example. As far as we are aware of this, we inform users accordingly.

cookies

Cookies are small files that enable specific information relating to the device to be stored on the user's access device (PC, smartphone, etc.). On the one hand, they serve to improve the user-friendliness of websites and thus benefit users (e.g. storage of login data). On the other hand, they serve to collect statistical data on website usage and to analyse it for the purpose of improving the website. Users can influence the use of cookies. Most browsers have an option that restricts or completely prevents the storage of cookies. However, it should be noted that the use and, in particular, the ease of use of the website will be restricted without cookies.

You can opt out of many online advertising cookies from companies via the page https://www.aboutads.info/choices/ manage.

registration function

The data entered during registration will be used for the purposes of using the service. Users may be informed by email about information relevant to the service or registration, such as changes to the scope of the service or technical circumstances. The data collected can be seen in the input mask during registration. This includes surname, first name, address, email, telephone number and IP address, which we use exclusively for the intended purpose of contacting you and do not pass on to third parties at any time.

Google Analytics

This offer uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. („Google“). Google Analytics uses „cookies“, which are text files placed on users' computers, to help the website analyse how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about users' use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

However, if IP anonymisation is activated on this website, the IP address of users within member states of the European Union or in other signatory states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area will be truncated beforehand. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transferred to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. IP anonymisation is active on this website. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate the use of the website by users, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services relating to website activity and internet usage to the website operator.

The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data. Users can prevent the storage of cookies by adjusting their browser software settings accordingly; however, this offer advises users that in this case they may not be able to use all functions of this website to their full extent. Users can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and relating to their use of the website (including their IP address) and from processing this data by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under the following link:

http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.

As an alternative to the browser add-on or within browsers on mobile devices, please click on the following text to prevent Google Analytics from collecting data on this website in future. An opt-out cookie will be stored on your device. If you delete your cookies, you will need to click on this link again: [ga_optout]

Google Tag Manager
We use a service called Google Tag Manager from Google. „Google“ is a group of companies consisting of Google Ireland Ltd. (service provider), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA, and other companies affiliated with Google LLC.
We have concluded a data processing agreement with Google. Google Tag Manager is a support service and only processes personal data for technically necessary purposes. Google Tag Manager ensures that other components are loaded, which in turn may collect data. Google Tag Manager does not access this data.
Further information on Google Tag Manager can be found in Google's privacy policy.
Please note that American authorities, such as intelligence agencies, may be able to access personal data that is inevitably exchanged with Google when integrating this service due to American laws such as the Cloud Act.

Google reCAPTCHA
We use “Google reCAPTCHA” (hereinafter “reCAPTCHA”) on our websites. The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”). reCAPTCHA is used to check whether data entry on our websites (e.g. in a contact form) is performed by a human or by an automated programme. To do this, reCAPTCHA analyses the behaviour of the website visitor based on various characteristics. This analysis begins automatically as soon as the website visitor enters the website. reCAPTCHA evaluates various information for the analysis (e.g. IP address, length of time spent on the website or mouse movements made by the user). The data collected during the analysis is forwarded to Google.

The reCAPTCHA analyses run entirely in the background. Website visitors are not made aware that an analysis is taking place.

Data processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in protecting its web offerings from abusive automated spying and spam.

For further information on Google reCAPTCHA and Google's privacy policy, please refer to the following links: https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/ and https://www.google.com/recaptcha/intro/android.html.

Use of Facebook social plugins

This offer uses social plugins („plugins“) from the social network facebook.com, which is operated by Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland („Facebook“). The plugins can be recognised by one of the Facebook logos (white „f“ on a blue tile, the terms „Like“, „I like“ or a „thumbs up“ sign) or are marked with the addition „Facebook Social Plugin“. The list and appearance of Facebook social plugins can be viewed here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/.

When a user visits a page on this website that contains such a plugin, their browser establishes a direct connection to Facebook's servers. The content of the plugin is transmitted directly from Facebook to your browser and integrated into the website. The provider therefore has no influence on the amount of data that Facebook collects using this plugin and informs users accordingly based on their knowledge:

By integrating the plugins, Facebook receives the information that a user has accessed the corresponding page of the offer. If the user is logged in to Facebook, Facebook can assign the visit to their Facebook account. When users interact with the plugins, for example by clicking the Like button or posting a comment, the corresponding information is transmitted directly from your browser to Facebook and stored there. If a user is not a member of Facebook, it is still possible for Facebook to find out and store their IP address. According to Facebook, only an anonymised IP address is stored in Germany.

The purpose and scope of data collection and the further processing and use of data by Facebook, as well as the relevant rights and settings options for protecting users' privacy, can be found in Facebook's privacy policy: https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/.

If a user is a Facebook member and does not want Facebook to collect data about them via this offer and link it to their membership data stored on Facebook, they must log out of Facebook before visiting the website. Further settings and objections to the use of data for advertising purposes are possible within the Facebook profile settings: https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=ads.

+1 button from Google+

This offer uses the “+1“ button of the social network Google Plus, which is operated by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, United States (”Google“). The button can be recognised by the "+1" sign on a white or coloured background.

When a user accesses a page of this website that contains such a button, the browser establishes a direct connection to Google's servers. The content of the “+1" button is transmitted directly from Google to your browser and integrated into the website. The provider therefore has no influence on the amount of data that Google collects with the button. According to Google, no personal data is collected without clicking on the button. Only logged-in members have such data, including their IP address, collected and processed.

The purpose and scope of data collection and the further processing and use of data by Google, as well as your rights in this regard and settings options for protecting your privacy, can be found in Google's privacy policy for the “+1" button: http://www.google.com/intl/de/+/policy/+1button.html and the FAQ: http://www.google.com/intl/de/+1/button/.

Twitter

This offer uses the Buttons for the Twitter service. These buttons are provided by Twitter Inc., 795 Folsom St., Suite 600, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA. They can be recognised by terms such as „Twitter“ or „Follow“, combined with a stylised blue bird. With the help of these buttons, it is possible to share a post or page from this website on Twitter or to follow the provider on Twitter.

When a user visits a page on this website that contains such a button, their browser establishes a direct connection to Twitter's servers. The content of the Twitter buttons is transmitted directly from Twitter to the user's browser. The provider therefore has no influence on the extent of the data that Twitter collects with the help of this plugin and informs users according to its state of knowledge. According to this, only the user's IP address and the URL of the respective website are transmitted when the button is accessed, but not used for any purpose other than displaying the button.
Further information on this can be found in Twitter's privacy policy at http://twitter.com/privacy.

Jetpack/WordPress.com statistics

This offer uses jetpack, a tool for statistical analysis of visitor traffic, operated by Automattic, Inc. 132 Hawthorne Street San Francisco, CA 94107, USA, using tracking technology from Quantcast Inc., 201 3rd St, Floor 2, San Francisco, CA 94103-3153, USA. WordPress.com Stats uses so-called „cookies“, text files that are stored on your computer and enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is stored on a server in the USA. The IP address is anonymised immediately after processing and before storage. You may prevent the installation of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser software; however, we would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all the functions of this website to their full extent. You can object to the collection and use of data by Quantcast with future effect by setting an opt-out cookie in your browser by clicking on the „Click here to opt-out“ link here: http://www.quantcast.com/opt-out. If you delete all cookies on your computer, you will need to set the opt-out cookie again.

Google AdSense

This website uses Google AdSense, a service provided by Google Inc. („Google“) for integrating advertisements. Google AdSense uses „cookies“, which are text files stored on the user's computer that enable analysis of website usage. Google AdSense also uses so-called web beacons (invisible graphics). These web beacons can be used to evaluate information such as visitor traffic on the pages of this website.

The information generated by cookies and web beacons about the use of this website (including the user's IP address) and the delivery of advertising formats is transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. This information may be passed on by Google to Google's contractual partners. However, Google will not merge your IP address with other data stored about you.

Users can prevent the installation of cookies by adjusting their browser software settings accordingly; however, the provider points out to users that in this case they may not be able to use all functions of this website to their full extent. By using this website, users consent to the processing of data collected about them by Google in the manner described above and for the purpose stated above.

Revocation, changes, corrections and updates

The user has the right to request information free of charge about the personal data stored about them. In addition, the user has the right to correct inaccurate data, block and delete their personal data, provided that there is no legal obligation to retain it.
