Web analytics
Use of Google Analytics
(1) This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses cookies, which are text files stored on your computer to enable your use of the website to be analyzed. The information generated by the cookies about your use of this website is generally transferred to a Google server in the US and stored there. If IP anonymization is activated on this website, your IP address will, however, be shortened by Google beforehand within the member states of the European Union or other states party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the US and shortened there. Google will use this information on behalf of the operator of this website to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity, and to provide other services to the website operator in connection with website and internet use.
(2) The IP address transmitted by your browser in the context of Google Analytics is not merged with any other data held by Google.
(3) You may refuse the storage of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings in your browser. However, please note that if you do so, you may not be able to use all the functions of this website to their full extent. You can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and relating to your use of the website (including your IP address) and from processing these data by downloading and installing the browser add-on available here: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en.
(4) This website uses Google Analytics with the extension “_anonymizeIp()”. This means that IP addresses are further processed in a shortened form so that personal identification is ruled out. As far as the data collected about you are personal, the identification is excluded and the personal data will be deleted immediately.
(5) We use Google Analytics to analyze and regularly improve use of our website. The statistics obtained from this allow us to optimize our content and to make it more interesting for you. In the exceptional cases where personal data are transmitted to the US, Google is subject to the EU-US Privacy Shield: https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework. The legal basis for the use of Google Analytics is provided by Art. 6(1) sentence 1 point f GDPR.

Social media
On our website we use links to the social networks Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Instagram in a way that does not establish any direct connection between your browser and the server of the social network in question. The symbols of the relevant social networks appearing on our websites are simple links to our own pages on these networks. Responsibility for ensuring operation in compliance with data protection regulations rests with the individual network providers.
Newsletter
(1) You can sign up to receive our “Join #TeamMichael” newsletter, which contains interesting current offers. The products and services advertised are shown in the declaration of consent.
(2) We use the double-opt-in procedure for our mailing list: After you sign up, we send an email to the address you provide, asking you to confirm that you wish to receive the newsletter. We also store your IP address and the time you sign up and confirm. This procedure enables us to trace your registration and to resolve any misuse of your personal data.
(3) Only your email address is required to sign up for the newsletter. After receiving confirmation from you, we will save your email address for the purpose of sending you the newsletter. The legal basis for this is Art. 6(1) sentence 1 point a GDPR.
(4) We use the newsletter software Newsletter2Go. Your data will be transmitted to Newsletter2Go GmbH. Newsletter2Go is not permitted to sell your data or to use them for purposes other than sending newsletters. Newsletter2Go is a certified service provider based in Germany that was selected in accordance with the requirements of the GDPR and the German Federal Data Protection Act. Further information is available at: https://www.newsletter2go.com/information-for-newsletter-recipients/
(5) You can unsubscribe from the newsletter and revoke your consent to receive the newsletter at any time. You can do this in three ways: (1) click on the ‘unsubscribe’ link in any newsletter email; (2) send an email to social@keepfighting.ms; (3) contact the address shown in the legal notice.
(6) We will evaluate your user behavior when we send the newsletter. The emails we send contain web beacons or tracking pixels: images of 1×1 pixel in size that are embedded in our website. For the evaluation, we link the data mentioned in § 3 and the web beacons with your email address and an individual ID. Links embedded in the newsletter also contain this ID. With the collected data we create a user profile that enables us to tailor the newsletter to your interests. We do this by storing information on when and from where you read the newsletter and which links you click on. We then link this to information on how you use our website.
Tracking is not possible if you have selected the “block images” option in your email program. In that case, you will not see the images in the newsletter and may not be able to use all of the functions. If you manually select “show images”, we will track as described above.
We use tracking to analyze and regularly improve use of our newsletter. The statistics obtained from this allow us to optimize our content and to make it more interesting for you. The legal basis for the use of Google Analytics is provided by Art. 6(1) sentence 1 point f GDPR.
Google Fonts
(1) We use Google Fonts on our website. These are fonts provided by Google to ensure that our website is displayed as uniformly as possible on different devices. A connection to Google’s servers in the US is established when you visit our website for the first time and at regular intervals thereafter. This enables Google to identify the website and IP address from which the Google Fonts are accessed and to identify the IP address from which each website is accessed.
(2) The Google Fonts are supplied by Google LLC. The contact details contained in § 4(6) of this data protection notice also apply to Google LLC.
(3) For further information on the purpose and scope of the data collection and processing by the plug-in provider, please refer to Google’s privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy. This also contains information on your rights and how you can adjust your privacy settings. Google processes your personal data in the US and is subject to the EU-US Privacy Shield: https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework.
(4) The legal basis for the use of the Google Fonts is provided by Art. 6(1) sentence 1 point f GDPR. Our legitimate interest is based on displaying our website as uniformly as possible on different devices and thereby efficient web design.
