Privacy Policy
Our data protection officer can be reached at the email address Datenschutz@content-comet.de or at the postal address given below. Alternatively, you can call +49 (0)203 29506 - 70.
For matters relating to Article 24 GDPR, you can contact the controller at the postal address — Content Comet UG (haftungsbeschränkt), Griegstraße 40A, 14193 Berlin.
Content Comet takes the protection of users’ personal data seriously and complies with applicable data protection law. Personal data is any data that can identify a specific person, e.g. name, postal and email address, and usage data on this website. Content Comet only processes your personal data where the law permits it or where you have given your consent.
If you voluntarily choose to provide us with this information, it is only used within the scope of the relevant purpose, e.g. in connection with a query that requires an individual response, or as part of an application and its related processes. This data is not passed on to third parties.
All users of our website remain anonymous. If you find links on our website and related pages that lead to other companies, we may receive a small commission from the company in question. When you use these links, no data about you is sent, not even your IP address. Instead, a referrer identifier is passed on, indicating that an anonymous user was directed from our site to theirs. We also do not receive any user data about the referred user from them. This ensures that you remain completely anonymous.
We do, however, point out that data transmission over the internet, e.g. when communicating by email, can have security gaps. Complete protection of data against access by third parties during transmission is not possible in this case.
Privacy policy for the use of Facebook plugins (Facebook buttons)
We use Facebook plugins on our pages. You will find the buttons, logo, and related features on our website. The company’s headquarters and address is 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, 94025. An overview of Facebook plugins can be found on Facebook’s site.
When you visit our pages, the plugin establishes a direct connection between your browser and Facebook’s server. Facebook receives information that you have visited our website and logs your IP address. If you click the Facebook "Like" button while logged into your Facebook account, the content of our pages can be linked to your Facebook profile. This allows Facebook to associate your visit to our pages with your user account. We point out that, as the provider of these pages, we have no knowledge of the extent of the data transmitted or how Facebook uses it. Further information can be found in Facebook’s privacy policy.
If you do not want Facebook to link your visit to our pages with your Facebook user account, please log out of your Facebook account.
Privacy policy for the use of Google Analytics
This website uses features of the Google Analytics web analytics service. The provider is Google Inc., with the address 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, California, USA.

Please note, however, that in this case you may not be able to use all the features of this website to their full extent.

IP anonymization
On this website, we use the "IP anonymization" feature. As a result, your IP address is shortened by Google before being sent to Google’s servers, in order to distinguish users from EU member states that have signed the European Economic Area agreement. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address sent to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity, and to provide other services relating to website and internet usage. The IP addresses provided by Google Analytics are not merged with other Google data.

This logged data may include your IP address, the websites visited, your use of Pinterest features, browser type and settings, the date and time of the request, and how you use Pinterest.
Further information on the purpose, scope, further processing, and use of data by Pinterest, as well as your rights and options for protecting your privacy, can be found in Pinterest’s privacy policy.

Information, deletion, blocking, data transfer, right to complain
Content Comet will, on request, inform you whether and what personal data about you is stored with us. You also have the right to have inaccurate data corrected, to have data that is no longer needed deleted or blocked, and to object to the further processing of any data. A written message to datenschutz@content-comet.de or the postal address given is sufficient.
Complaints relating to the choice of data disclosure can be directed to our data protection officer or to the Berlin Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information, whose current address can be found on the authority’s official website.
The General Data Protection Regulation gives you the right to data portability. This is not relevant to the relationship between us and our users, since we do not collect data that could be passed on to third parties.
The European Commission provides a platform for out-of-court online dispute resolution. We are not obliged, nor willing, to take part in dispute resolution proceedings via this platform.
Cookies
Our pages partly use cookies. Cookies do not cause any damage to your computer and do not contain viruses. They serve to make our offering more user-friendly, effective, and secure, and are small text files stored on your computer and in your browser. Most of the cookies we use are so-called "session cookies." These are automatically deleted once your visit ends. Other cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. These cookies allow us to recognize your browser on your next visit.
You can configure your browser to notify you when cookies are placed. You can allow them on a case-by-case basis, block them entirely, or enable automatic deletion of cookies when you close the browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.
Server log files
The provider hosting our website and related pages automatically collects connection information, in particular the IP address from which our website was accessed, as well as certain data required to display our website on your computer. In addition, your browser type, browser version, and operating system are recorded.
As a rule, connection data is deleted immediately after the session ends. However, we and our providers reserve the right to retain this data for a reasonable period to clarify the cause of technical faults and to identify and defend against possible hacking attacks and misuse of our services. We also use this information to detect bots. Data on browser type, operating system, device type (phone, tablet, PC), and, where applicable, the region a request came from, is stored in a way that does not allow us to collect personal data about the user. We use this anonymous data to optimize our website in line with our users’ usage habits.
Objection to promotional emails
The use of contact information published in this legal notice for the purpose of sending unsolicited advertising and other unrelated promotional material is explicitly prohibited. The operators of these pages expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited promotional material being sent, for example via spam email.
