This privacy policy of SEOeShop™ is intended for all users of the SEOeShop™ websites and services ("user"). The SEOeShop™ services relate primarily to advertising from third parties ("advertising partners") on websites and services operated by other third parties ("publishers") as well as advertising via the own assets operated by SEOeShop™ ("services") and third parties ("resellers") using the assets of SEOeShop™ in order to publish advertisements from their own advertising partners. Therefore users are mainly advertisers, publishers, resellers and other interested parties or their employees. Among the users are also users of services on the Internet provided by publishers and resellers ("publisher-user") as well as other private users who are in direct contact with us.
All personal information that SEOeShop™ collects through users by the use of the websites and services that users voluntarily submit and provide in the course of all business relations will handled by SEOeShop™ in regards to applicable data protection legal provisions.
SEOeShop™ saves and uses data to prevent and combat fraud and abuse on SEOeShop™ websites and services and to offer services adapted to our users. All details are laid out in this privacy policy.
2. Application of Privacy Policy
This privacy policy is only applicable to the websites and services of SEOeShop™. It does not apply to the websites and services of the publishers. In the event that the user is forwarded, for instance via redirect, link or an advertisement, to another website or service not operated by SEOeShop™, the user will be informed by SEOeShop™ that this document does not apply to website or service concerned. SEOeShop™ declares to not be responsible for the way the operator of the other website handles data. In particular, SEOeShop™ is not responsible that this privacy policy does not apply on websites and services not operated by SEOeShop™. SEOeShop™ recommends to all users to always read and check carefully the privacy policy of third party websites.
3. User Personal Information
SEOeShop™ collects, processes and stores personal information from the user that the user voluntarily submits via forms on the website or services or elsewhere operated by SEOeShop™ in electronic or any other form of communication. To register to use the websites or services from SEOeShop™ the user needs to submit certain personal information. This includes among other things names and email address.
4. Storage of Information
Usage Data:
When a user makes use of websites or services operated by SEOeShop™, SEOeShop™ automatically saves through usage of cookies the domain name and/or IP address of the computer used to contact SEOeShop™ as well as the date, length of visit at website or service operated by SEOeShop™, pages accessed by the user and browser used.
Mobile Use of the Services:
Via smarphones, tablets or other mobile devices users can also access content and services from SEOeShop™. SEOeShop™ then stores the device's identification number (i.e. ANDROID_ID, IMEI, MAC Adresses) that accesses the content or service in an anonymized form as well as the standard technical information (i.e. operating system version, device type, and so on) to enable the user to access the content or service.
Email Address:
If submitted, SEOeShop™ stores the email addresses of its users. Users either submit their email address voluntarily via contact form or by submitting it in the course of direct communication with SEOeShop™.
Information via Communication:
SEOeShop™ saves the history of communication, when the user submits a ticket to SEOeShop™ customer support as well as the information submitted by the user in the course of the communication (i.e. email address). SEOeShop™ does this in order to answer the user inquiry as best as we can. We do not share this information with third parties.
Other voluntarily submitted Information:
Our main concern is to always try to improve our offers and services as well as to adapt them to its users as best as we can. In the course of that approvement process the user can submit additional information to SEOeShop™ as part of the use of offers and services operated by SEOeShop™ or in the course of direct communication. Information stored are such as name, address, age, gender, interests and, if applicable, payment data. Payment data is only stored if the user processes a payment via SEOeShop™. The user can also allow SEOeShop™ to record their usage behavior on partner websites.
5. Third Party Information Gathering
Usage data from Publishers (publisher-user):
Publishers who work with SEOeShop™ share information about behavior of the publisher-user's usage. SEOeShop™ needs the publisher-user's data in order for the the user to receive benefits for offers from the publisher. By doing so, the publisher assigns each user a personal ID ("UserID") connected with the usage data. The UserID can only be read out by the publisher. SEOeShop™ is not able to directly associate the usage data shared by the publisher via the UserID with the user. SEOeShop™ can only determine the identity of the publisher-user if the publisher-user itself initiates such a request.
Thus, the information transmitted by the publisher to SEOeShop™ is not related to one individual. This applies unless the publisher-user disclosed its identity and therefore waiving the protection of his private information (for instance accessing the publisher's content with a user name connected to the real name or entering the email address on the publisher's website). In this case, but not solely, SEOeShop™ is entitled to the above-mentioned rights to use the personal information.
Nevertheless publisher-users should check the privacy policy of the publisher's website in regard to the publisher's handling of personal information.
6. Use of Personal Information
Optimization of the service:
SEOeShop™ collects, processes, and stores users' personal information, when seeing a legitimate business purpose for it. Expressed in a different way SEOeShop™ collects, processes, and stores user data to better understand users of their websites and services and therefore offer them better services. For instance SEOeShop™ can not only use the information stored for direct processing of the agreement concluded with the user (for example use of services, creation of invoices, use of customer support), but also use it to identify malfunctions and/or misuse of SEOeShop™ websites and services.
Prevention and combat of abuse:
Thus, SEOeShop™ logs and stores information on the use of SEOeShop™ websites and services such as activity on the publisher's website and service in regard to customers' advertisements or services, including the monitoring of behavior patterns and checking for manipulations. This can be useful and therefore is used to detect misuse or improper activity by the user or publisher-user. SEOeShop™ uses special software to detect the use of illicit scripts and identify the IP address as well as other data in regard to the behavior of users and publisher-users. If SEOeShop™ determines that a user or publisher-user violates its contractual obligations, for instance by using illicit scripts, SEOeShop™ explicitly reserves the right to bring the user's or publisher-user's data together with other data stored by SEOeShop™ on this person to prove the violation. We will then possibly take additional measures against the users or publisher-users concerned to restore normal operation.
Billing of services:
Insofar as it is required for billing, SEOeShop™ is entitled to share user data with the service provider responsible for payment processing. SEOeShop™ is also entitled to provide user data to third parties authorized to collect outstanding balances, insofar as this information is required or useful to collect the balance.

As long as the user does not object to the use of its user data for this purpose, advertising can be sent that matches his or her profile and interests. The information cannot be attributed to the user, unless the user voluntarily made this information on a website or service operated by SEOeShop™.
Email Address:
The email addresses acquired through an offer form of SEOeShop™ or received directly from the user can be used by SEOeShop™ to send the user newsletters and information on SEOeShop™ offers. The user can withdraw this consent by objecting at any time via email at no charge. The user will have the opportunity in every information and newsletter sent by SEOeShop™ to unsubscribe or send a cancellation notice via mail.
