User and usage data

To the extent a contractual agreement is to be established or modified, TuneUp will collect and use your personal data for the purpose of establishing the contract. Upon order of the applicable authorities, we may in a particular case provide information regarding such data (user data) to the extent necessary for purposes of criminal prosecution, prevention of hazards, fulfillment of the statutory duties of the German Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (Bundesamt für Verfassungsschutz) or Military Counterintelligence Agency (Militärischer Abschirmdienst), or enforcement of intellectual property rights.

TuneUp further collects and uses personal data from you to the extent necessary to enable the use of, or billing for, its internet offerings (usage data). In particular, such data include indicators of your identity and information regarding the beginning and end of, and scope of, the usage of our offerings. For purposes of advertising, market research and tailoring of our internet offerings to market needs, we may create user profiles under pseudonyms. You have the right to refuse this use of your data. We may not combine a user profile with the data of the individual to whom the applicable pseudonym relates. Upon order of the applicable authorities, we may in a particular case provide information regarding such data (user data), to the extent necessary for purposes of criminal prosecution, prevention of hazards, fulfillment of the statutory duties of the German Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (Bundesamt für Verfassungsschutz) or Military Counterintelligence Agency (Militärischer Abschirmdienst), or enforcement of intellectual property rights.

Cookies

In order to permit full use of the functionality of its internet offerings, TuneUp uses so-called "cookies," which enable data to be stored on your computer when you access our website. You can prevent cookies from being stored on your PC by configuring the appropriate settings in your web browser. You can usually will find specific instructions on how to do this under the Help option in the menu bar of your web browser.

Forwarding to Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, an Internet evaluation service of Google, Inc. ("Google"). Google Analytics uses so called "cookies" which are text files saved on the computer of the user in order to analyse the usage of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website (including your IP address) will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States.

Should IP anonymisation be activated on this site, your IP address will first be shortened by Google within the member states of the European Union and other countries which are signatories to the EEC agreement. Only in exceptional cases, will the full IP address be sent to and abbreviated on a Google server in the USA. Google will use this information on behalf of the site operator to analyse your use of the site, compile reports on site activity, and provide other services relating to site and Internet usage. The IP address collected by Google Analytics will not be linked with any other data held by Google. You may disable cookies by selecting the appropriate setting in your browser. Please note, however, that this may prevent you from making full use of the functions on this website. Data collection and storage can be cancelled at any time with effect on a future date using tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. In view of the discussion about the use of analytical tools with complete IP addresses, we would like to point out that this website uses Google Analytics with the advanced "_anonymizeIp()" option and thus IP addresses are only further processed in an abbreviated manner so as to exclude direct reference to people.

Rights of Access, Objection and Deletion

As a user of our internet offerings, you have the right to obtain information from us regarding the data saved by us with respect to your identity or pseudonym. Upon your request this information can also be provided electronically. You also have the right to require the deletion of data that are not necessary for the winding up of a contract, and to withdraw your approval of any use of data to the extent you had previously approved such use (such as subscribing to the TuneUp newsletter).
