2.2.1 Usage analysis by CLMG
CLMG analyses customer/user behaviour on its platform using cookies. Cookies are packets of data that are sent from CLMG’s web server to your browser, saved on your computer and retrieved by the web server again during subsequent visits. Cookies store information on use of the platform and enable CLMG to improve the user experience. To do so, information on the browser type, elements of the platform visited, the user’s IP address, the operating system used and customers’ and users’ Internet and language settings can be collected. For example, disabling cookies will impede registration / login on the Classic CLMG platform.
The customer/user can delete existing cookies from their browser and prevent further cookies from being saved at any time. However, disabling cookies can impair the functions of the CLMG platform and websites.
2.2.2 Usage analysis by Google Analytics
The CLMG Platform also uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses cookies to provide its web analytics services. The information generated by the cookies about your use of this website (including your IP address) is transferred to a Google server that may be outside EU and stored there. Google uses this information to analyse your use of the website, compile reports on website activity for the website operators and provide other services related to use of the website and the internet. Google may also transfer this information to third parties, if required to do so by law or if third parties process this information on Google’s behalf.

4. Data Processing By Third Parties Abroad
CLMG may also have personal data processed by third parties abroad for the purpose of running the platform and for the purposes stated in Section 3.
4.1 Categories of external service providers
Such recipients of personal data include suppliers in the field of payment services, password administration, platforms for managing dispatch of the newsletter, logistics companies and data centres for storing and processing the data collected. When doing so, CLMG ensures that adequate assurance is given to protect the personal data in accordance with the applicable data protection law and that corresponding agreements have been concluded with each of the external suppliers.
CLMG’s servers are located in Germany and run by a German host provider. For development and testing, CLMG uses servers and stores some user data in the EU.
4.2 Social media plug-ins
Functions from various third-party providers of social media platforms (such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram,Google+) are integrated into the CLMG platforms and websites. Plug-ins enable users to share content on social networks.
If a plug-in is displayed when browsing the CLMG websites (e.g. Facebook’s “Like” button), a connection with the relevant third-party provider’s servers is automatically established. This means that data on customers’ and users’ visit to the website can be transmitted to these third-party providers. If the customer or user is also registered with this third-party provider’s network, the visit to the website may also be assigned to their network account (e.g. Facebook account).
CLMG has no control over the method of this type of data transmission. The purpose and scope of the data collection and the subsequent processing and use of the data by the relevant social media providers as well as the related rights and configuration options for privacy protection can be found in the privacy notices of the relevant third-party providers.
5. Data Security
CLMG does not pass its customers’ data on to third parties under any circumstances, except for to the external service providers in accordance with Section 4, and solely uses their data for the purposes stated in Section 3. CLMG also uses state-of-the-art technology to take the usual steps to protect the data. However, CLMG provides no guarantee for the security of customer data. It is the customer’s responsibility to produce an up-to-date backup of the data transmitted and to save it off the platform. It is also the customer’s responsibility to set a secure password for their customer account, to keep this safe and to change it regularly.
6. Customers’ And Users’ Rights
CLMG’s customers and users have the right to inspect or update their data or to have it amended or erased. This is subject to statutory retention requirements.
