Data privacy policy
We are delighted that you have visited our Internet site www.actupool.com and are pleased by your interest in our platform. We take the protection of your personal data very seriously.

When this Internet site or individual files on the Internet site are called-up, we record, process and save the following data: IP address, the web site from which the file was called-up, the name of the file, the date and time of call-up, the data volume transmitted and a message concerning the success of the call-up (web log). We use these access data solely in a non-personalised form in order to constantly improve our Internet services and for statistical purposes.

We additionally deploy the following web tracking services to evaluate visits to this Internet site:

Google Analytics

Scope of processing personal data
We deploy the web tracking service offered by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Park in 94043 Mountain View, USA (referred to below as Google Analytics) on our website. In the context of this web tracking, Google Analytics deploys cookies. These are saved on your computer and enable the use of our website and your surfing behaviour to be analysed (so-called tracking). We perform this analysis on the basis of the tracking service offered by Google-Analytics, in order to continuously optimise our Internet presence and to improve its availability. In the course of use of our web site, data (in particular, your IP address and your user activities) are transmitted to a server of Google LLC, where they are processed and stored outside the European Union, e.g. in the USA.

The EU Commission has established that a reasonable level of data protection can exist in the USA, if the data processing enterprise is subject to the US-EU Privacy Shield Treaty and the data are exported reliably to the USA in this way. By activating IP anonymisation in the Google-Analytics tracking code of this Internet page, your IP address is anonymised by Google Analytics before transmission. This website uses a Google Analytics tracking code extended by the operator gat._anonymizeIp(). This ensures anonymised recording of IP addresses (IP masking).

Legal basis for processing personal data
Art. 6 Para.1 Letter a GDPR (consent), either in the context of registering with Google (opening a Google account and accepting the data privacy notices posted there) or, if you have not registered with Google, through your explicit consent by opening our site.

Purpose of data processing
Working on our behalf, Google uses this information to evaluate your visit to this Internet site, to compile reports about the web site activities and to provide further services for us that are connected with use of the web site and of the Internet. The IP address transmitted by your browser in the course of Google Analytics is not merged with other data of Google LLC.

Duration of storage
Google stores the data relevant to the provision of the web tracking service as long as is necessary to fulfil the web service booked. Data are recorded and saved in an anonymised manner. The data are deleted without delay if a reference to a person exists, unless the person falls under the legal duties of retention. In any case, data are deleted after the retention period has expired.

Options of objection and rectification
You can prevent your personal data being recorded and forwarded to Google (in particular, your IP address) and so stop these data being processed by Google, in that you de-activate execution of script code in your browser and install a script blocker in your browser (for example, these can be found at www.noscript.net or www.ghostery.com) or activate the “Do Not Track” setting in your browser. You can furthermore prevent the data generated by the Google cookie and referring to your use of the website (including your IP address) being recorded by Google and this data being processed by Google, in that you download the browser plug-in available from the following link () and install it. The privacy policy and the fundamentals of data protection observed by Google-Analytics can be found here.

6. Information on the use of cookies

Scope of processing personal data
We deploy cookies on different pages to enable the use of certain functions on our website. Cookies are small text files, which can be deposited on your computer by your browser. These text files contain a characteristic sequence, which allows the browser to be uniquely identified if our website is called up again. The process of depositing a cookie file is also called 'placing a cookie'.

Legal basis for processing personal data
Art. 6 Para.1 Letter f GDPR (justified interest). Our justified interest is that the full functionality of our Internet site is retained, user-friendliness is raised and customers can be addressed individually. We can identify individual visits to the site with the help of cookie technology only if the site visitor has disclosed the relevant personal data to us beforehand on the basis of a separate consent.

Purpose of data processing
Our website uses cookies to retain the full functionality of our Internet site and to improve user-friendliness. In addition, cookie technology enables us to recognise individual visitors by pseudonyms (e.g. an individual, random ID). This makes it possible for us to offer tailormade services.

Duration of storage
Our cookies are saved until they are deleted in your browser or, if a session cookie is concerned, until the session has ended.

Options of objection and rectification
You can yourself determine the settings in your browser so that the placing of cookies is generally prevented, that you receive a message about this, decide whether to accept cookies on a case-by-case basis or to accept cookies as a matter of principle. Cookies can be deployed for various purposes, for example, to recognise that your PC has linked to our web presence before (permanent cookies) or to save the offers last viewed (session cookies). We deploy cookies to offer you a higher level of user comfort. In order to benefit from our comfort functions, we recommend that you accept cookies for our web presence.
