  1. General information on data protection

The Internet portal of D.LIVE GmbH & Co. KG is primarily a marketplace for business transactions. Although a lot of information is also available to anonymous users, it is sometimes necessary for us to require data from you, which can be either company-related or personal, so that you can receive the desired services. Your data is protected in our systems in accordance with internationally applicable data protection standards, the European Union Data Protection Directive and national data protection regulations. We want you to be able to rely on your data being handled responsibly and confidentially. Encryption procedures are used for the secure transmission of payment data. This means that the communication between your browser and our system cannot be read by other participants on the Internet. Personal data will only be used for the purposes stated in these data protection provisions or expressly declared at the time of subsequent data collection.

Our websites may contain links to websites of other providers. As we are not responsible for their information, we recommend that you read the data protection information on these websites carefully.

Each time content from our website is requested, data (e.g. name of the requested file, date/time, amount of data transferred) about this process is stored in a log file. This allows us to track user behavior across the entire website. However, this information is not combined with data about individual users without prior express consent. D.LIVE GmbH & Co. KG breaks down the overall usage statistics according to the user's domain name, the browser type and the MIME type in which this information is read from the browser string (the information contained in the browser of each user). We track and catalog the search terms entered by users in search engines, but this tracking is never associated with individual users.

We also use so-called session cookies. These are used to optimize communication times for incoming web requests. In principle, it is also possible to use our website without cookies, although this can lead to restrictions in individual applications. Cookies are not used to create personal user profiles.

In order to collect and use anonymous usage data for the purpose of usage-based online advertising, we also use cookies with a duration of 180 days. No personal data, in particular no IP addresses, are collected. These cookies are cookies from service providers. You are free to delete the cookies at any time either directly in the browser (see below).
