If you have given your consent to generation:l, you have the right to revoke your consent to generation:l at any time in accordance with Art. 7 para. 3 GDPR. The withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

If you use the website https://generationl.de/ for information purposes only, i.e. if you simply browse the website without registering and without providing us with any other information, generation:l only collects the personal data that your browser sends to our server. If you wish to view the websites, generation:l collects the following data, which is technically necessary for generation:l to display the websites to you, to ensure stability and security and to optimise the websites and offers of generation:l (legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR):

• IP address
• Date and time of request
• Time zone difference to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT)
• Content of the request (specific page)
• Access status/HTTP status code
• Amount of data transferred
• Website from which the request originated
• Browser used
• Operating system and interface
• Language and version of browser software

The data is deleted or made anonymous as soon as it is no longer necessary for the purpose for which it was collected.

We use so-called session cookies on our websites. Session cookies are only stored temporarily for the duration of your use of one of our websites. The purpose of these cookies is to identify your computer during a visit to our website and to be able to determine the end of your visit. In order to utilise the full functionality of our website, it is necessary for technical reasons to allow session cookies.

Your personal data will be passed on by generation:l to third parties on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR and exclusively to the service partners involved in the processing of the contract, such as the credit institution commissioned with payment processing. Your data will not be transmitted beyond this, for example for advertising purposes.

On our website, we also link to offers from other partners and service providers (Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn). The content of these offers is not embedded on our website. If you click on the respective link, you will be redirected to the website of the respective company. The processing of personal data there is the responsibility of the respective company. Details on the processing of your personal data can be found in the data protection notices on the respective websites.

Our website uses plugins from the video portal Vimeo. The provider is Vimeo Inc, 555 West 18th Street, New York, New York 10011, USA. When you visit one of our pages equipped with Vimeo videos, a connection to the Vimeo servers is established. This tells the Vimeo server which of our pages you have visited. Vimeo also obtains your IP address. We have always integrated the videos in the ‘Do Not Track’ version so that Vimeo does not track your user activities and does not set any cookies.

The use of Vimeo is in the interest of an appealing presentation of our online offer (legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR). If a corresponding consent has been requested, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR; the consent can be revoked at any time.

In order to ensure an adequate level of data protection when transferring data to the USA, we have concluded the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission with Vimeo in the so-called ‘Controller to Controller’ variant. Vimeo provides information on the handling of user data in its privacy policy at: https: //vimeo.com/privacy

If you continue to use the Generation:L website after we have posted changes to this privacy policy, you will be deemed to have accepted those changes.
