2. Collection and Storage of Personal Data and Nature and Purpose of Use

a) When Visiting the Website

When you access our website www.sassa.eu, the browser on your device automatically sends information to the server of our website. This information is temporarily stored in a so-called log file. The following data is collected without your intervention and stored until automatic deletion:

  • IP address of the requesting computer

  • Date and time of access

  • Name and URL of the requested file

  • Browser used and, if applicable, the operating system of your computer and the name of your access provider

These data are processed for the following purposes:

  • Ensuring a smooth connection to the website

  • Ensuring convenient use of our website

  • Evaluation of system security and stability

  • Other administrative purposes

The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest follows from the purposes listed above. Under no circumstances do we use the data collected to draw conclusions about your person.

In addition, we use cookies and analytics tools when you visit our website. Further details can be found in sections 4 and 5 of this Privacy Policy.

5. Analytics Tools / Plug-ins

a) Tracking Tools

The tracking measures described below are used based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our intent is to design our website to meet user needs and continually optimize it. These measures also help us statistically evaluate usage for the purpose of improving our offering.

aa) Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service from Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”), for demand-oriented design and optimization of our website.

This involves creating pseudonymized usage profiles and using cookies (see Section 4). The information generated by the cookie includes:

  • Operating system

  • Referrer URL (previously visited page)

  • Hostname of accessing computer (IP address)

  • Time of server request

This data is transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. It is used to evaluate website use, compile reports on activity, and provide related services.

Data may also be transferred to third parties where legally required or where they process the data on Google’s behalf. Your IP address will never be merged with other Google data and is anonymized (IP masking).

Our website uses the Google Maps service from Google. By using this feature, you consent to the collection, processing, and use of automated data by Google and its representatives or third parties.

Google Maps Terms of Use: Google Maps Terms

bb) Google Ads Conversion Tracking

We also use Google Ads Conversion Tracking to statistically record and evaluate website usage. If you reach our site via a Google ad, Google Ads sets a cookie (see Section 4) on your device.

  • These cookies expire after 30 days and don’t contain personal information.

  • If you visit specific pages before the cookie expires, Google and we can recognize that you clicked the ad and reached our page.

6. Social Media Plug-ins

We use social plug-ins from various social networks on our website based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR to increase the visibility of our company. This promotional purpose is considered a legitimate interest under the GDPR. Responsibility for data protection-compliant operation lies with the respective providers.

We use the "two-click method" to protect visitors to our website as best as possible. This means plug-ins are only activated when you explicitly click on them.

a) Facebook

We use Facebook social plug-ins (such as the “LIKE” or “SHARE” button). This service is provided by Facebook Inc., 1601 Willow Road, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA.

When you access a page on our site containing such a plug-in, your browser connects directly to Facebook's servers. The content of the plug-in is transferred directly to your browser and integrated into the website.

As a result, Facebook receives information that your browser has accessed the corresponding page, even if you do not have a Facebook account or are not logged in. This information (including your IP address) is sent directly to a Facebook server in the USA and stored there.

If you are logged into Facebook, Facebook can associate your visit with your account. When you interact with plug-ins (e.g., click the “LIKE” button), this information is also sent to a Facebook server and stored. It may also appear on your Facebook timeline.

Facebook may use this data for advertising, market research, and tailoring its platform to users. For more information on Facebook’s privacy practices and settings, visit:
https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/

To prevent Facebook from assigning data to your Facebook account, log out of Facebook before visiting our website.

b) Instagram

Our website includes plug-ins from Instagram, operated by Instagram LLC, 1601 Willow Road, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA. The plug-ins are marked with the Instagram logo (e.g., camera icon).

When you visit a page with an Instagram plug-in, your browser connects directly to Instagram’s servers. The content is sent to your browser and embedded on the website.

Instagram receives information about your visit, including your IP address—even if you’re not logged into Instagram or do not have an account. If you are logged in, your visit will be associated with your profile.

Interacting with the plug-in (e.g., clicking the Instagram button) transmits data to Instagram and may display it on your account.

For more information, see Instagram’s privacy policy:
https://help.instagram.com/155833707900388/

To prevent Instagram from associating data with your account, log out before visiting our site. You can also block Instagram plug-ins using browser add-ons.

c) Pinterest

We use social plug-ins from Pinterest, operated by Pinterest Inc., 808 Brannan Street, San Francisco, CA 94103, USA.

These are recognizable by the “Pin it” button, shown on a red or white background. See an overview here:
https://developers.pinterest.com/docs/getting-started/introduction/

When you open a page containing the plug-in, your browser connects to Pinterest’s servers. Information (including your IP address) is transmitted and stored in the USA—even if you don’t have a Pinterest account.

If you’re logged in to Pinterest, your visit is linked to your profile. Interaction (e.g., clicking “Pin it”) also sends data to Pinterest, which is then stored and may appear in your profile or contacts' feeds.

More on Pinterest’s privacy policy:
https://about.pinterest.com/privacy-policy

To prevent Pinterest from linking your visit to your account, log out beforehand or block Pinterest plug-ins via browser tools.
