3. Privacy policy

1. General 

The vendor sees it as an obligation to handle personal data of users responsibly. The vendor will only collect data from users, if that data is neccessary to offer the services under the terms in this agreement and if it's legal to collect that data, or if the vendor is obliged by law to collect that data.

The vendor will treat the user's personal information confidentially according to the provisions of the applicable data protection laws, and not disclose it to third parties.

Above this, the provider uses the personal data of the user only if the latter has expressly consented. The user's consent can be revoked at any time.

The following statement gives the user an overview of how the provider ensures the protection and what type of data is collected and for what purpose:

2. Email address

When registering, the user has to give his email address. This email address is used for the "password reset" functionality, because there is no other way to recover from a lost password which would leave the user's account inaccessible.

Furthermore, the vendor will use the user's email address to inform the user about new features of the platform or amendments in licensing terms.

Users can object to that use by sending an email to info@AmboCarta.com, stating their login (NOT the password!) and their objection.

Text and images

Text entered and images uploaded by counselors in their "about myself" page will be used by the vendor to display information about the counselor publicly in the catalog and search engine feature and anywhere information about the counselor is displayed.

5. Data processing 

a. Browser data

All web browsers provide several pieces of information to each web site server for technical reasons. Due to the fact that that data is adjustable by a user, the vendor uses that data to adjust his portal to the preferences of the user, for example setting the preferred language of the user.

In server log files, the vendor automatically stores data which is sent by the user's browser. Namely: browser type and version, operating system, flash version, referrer URL, and an abbreviated (crippled) version of the user's ip address, as well as the timestamp of the request.

These pieces of information are not related to a specific person, after a statistic analysis, these pieces of data are deleted when older than 12 weeks.

Session cookies are deleted automatically when closing the browser, other cookies persist between browser restarts and are neccessary for "remember login" feature and others.

User account information

Google AdWords and Google Conversion tracking

AmboCarta uses the online ad program "Google AdWords" and with it "Google conversion tracking". Google uses a cookie to measure advertising performance for AmboCarta and its AdSense partners websites. The conversion tracking cookie is set when a user clicks on an ad delivered by Google where AmboCarta has opted-in to tracking.

If this cookie has not yet expired when the user visits certain pages of AmboCarta's website, Google and AmboCarta will be able to tell that the user clicked the ad and proceeded to that page. Each advertiser gets a different cookie, so no cookie can be tracked across advertiser websites. Google cookies may be processed on servers outside germany.

How to opt out of the conversion cookie

If you want to disable conversion tracking cookies, you can set your browser to block cookies from the "googleadservices.com" domain.
