8. Data Processing with Google Analytics™

Our website uses “Google Analytics,” a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited. If data processing through the website is based outside the European Economic Area or Switzerland, the relevant Google Analytics data processing is handled by Google LLC. (Google Ireland Limited and Google LLC are collectively referred to as “Google.”)

The data processing required to connect our website with Google Analytics is carried out by Jimdo. For details, please refer to Jimdo’s privacy policy, as well as the privacy policy of KDDI Web Communications, which provides Jimdo in Japan.

Google Analytics uses “Cookies,” text files stored on a visitor’s computer, to analyze how the website is used. The information generated by the Cookie regarding website use (including truncated IP addresses) is usually transmitted to and stored by Google.

This website uses Google Analytics exclusively with the “_anonymizeIp()” extension, ensuring anonymization of IP addresses by truncation and preventing direct personal references. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to Google servers in the United States and truncated there. The IP address transmitted by your browser is not merged with other Google data.

On behalf of the website operator, Google uses the collected information to evaluate website usage, compile reports, and provide other internet-related services to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). Our legitimate interest in such processing lies in optimizing the website, analyzing its use, and adapting its content. User interests are safeguarded through pseudonymization of data.

Google ensures an adequate level of data protection based on the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses. Data linked to Cookies in Google Analytics (such as user IDs or advertising IDs) is automatically deleted after 50 months. Expired data is deleted automatically once a month.

Visitors can refuse the use of Cookies by adjusting their browser settings. They can also prevent Google from collecting and processing data (including IP addresses) via Cookies by installing the browser plug-in available here:

http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout

Visitors can also prevent data collection by Google Analytics on this website by clicking “Cookie Settings.” An “opt-out Cookie” will then be applied, preventing the collection of data during future visits.

For more details, please see the Google Analytics Terms of Service and the Google Privacy Policy.

Under GDPR and related laws, visitors have rights regarding data processed by Google Analytics, including the right to access, rectify, port, and delete data, as well as the right to object to certain processing. To exercise these rights regarding Google Analytics on this website, visitors may contact Jimdo or us at any time.
