We use cookies on our site. These are small files that your browser automatically creates and that are stored on your device (laptop, tablet, smartphone, etc.) when you visit our site. Cookies do not cause any damage to your device, do not contain viruses, trojans or other malware.
Information is stored in the cookie that arises in connection with the specific device used. However, this does not mean that we obtain direct knowledge of your identity.
The use of cookies serves on the one hand to make the use of our offer more pleasant for you. We use so-called session cookies to recognize that you have already visited individual pages of our website. These are automatically deleted after you leave our site.
In addition, we also use temporary cookies to optimize user friendliness, which are stored on your device for a specific defined period. If you visit our site again to use our services, it is automatically recognized that you have already been with us and which entries and settings you have made, so that you do not have to enter them again.
On the other hand, we use cookies to statistically record the use of our website and to evaluate it for the purpose of optimizing our offer for you in accordance with section 5. These cookies enable us to automatically recognize that you have already been with us when you visit our site again. These cookies are automatically deleted after a defined period.
The data processed by cookies is required for the stated purposes to safeguard our legitimate interests and those of third parties under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.
Most browsers accept cookies automatically. However, you can configure your browser so that no cookies are stored on your computer or so that a notice always appears before a new cookie is created. Completely disabling cookies may, however, mean that you cannot use all functions of our website.
5.
The tracking measures listed below and used by us are carried out on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. With the tracking measures used, we want to ensure needs-based design and the continuous optimization of our website. We also use the tracking measures to statistically record the use of our website and to evaluate it for the purpose of optimizing our offer for you. These interests are to be regarded as legitimate within the meaning of the aforementioned provision.
The respective data processing purposes and data categories are to be taken from the corresponding tracking tools.
For the purpose of needs-based design and continuous optimization of our site, we use Google Analytics, an advertising analytics service of Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View CA 94043 USA, hereinafter 'Google'). In this context, pseudonymized usage profiles are created and cookies are used in accordance with section 4. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website (browser type and version, operating system used, referrer URL, host name of the accessing computer, time of the server request) is transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. The information is used to evaluate the use of the website, to compile reports on website activity, and to provide other services related to website and internet use for the purposes of market research and needs-based design of these websites. This information may also be transferred to third parties if required by law or if third parties process this data on our behalf. Under no circumstances will your IP address be merged with other Google data. IP addresses are anonymized so that no assignment is possible (IP masking).
You can prevent the installation of cookies by setting your browser software accordingly; however, we point out that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of the website to their full extent.
You can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing a browser add-on (https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en).
Further information on data protection in connection with Google Analytics can be found in the Google Analytics Help (https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=en).
To statistically record the use of our website and to evaluate it for the purpose of optimizing our website for you, we also use Google Conversion Tracking. A cookie is set by Google AdWords on your computer in accordance with section 4 if you reach our website via a Google ad. These cookies expire after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. Each AdWords customer receives a different cookie. Cookies cannot therefore be tracked across the websites of AdWords customers. More information at https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads?hl=en.
We use the open source software Matomo for the analysis and statistical evaluation of website usage. Cookies are used for this in accordance with section 4. The information generated by the cookie about website usage is transmitted to our servers and aggregated in pseudonymous usage profiles. The information is not passed on to third parties. IP addresses are anonymized (IP masking). More information at https://matomo.org/privacy-policy/.
6.
We use social plug-ins on our website on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR from the social networks Facebook, Twitter and Instagram in order to make our company better known. The associated advertising purpose is to be regarded as a legitimate interest within the meaning of the GDPR. Responsibility for data protection-compliant operation must be guaranteed by the respective provider. We integrate these plug-ins using the so-called two-click method to provide the best possible protection for visitors to our website.
Facebook: When you visit a page of our website that contains such a plug-in, your browser establishes a direct connection with Facebook's servers. The content of the plug-in is transmitted by Facebook directly to your browser and integrated into the website. If you are logged into Facebook, Facebook can directly assign the visit to our website to your Facebook account. If you do not want Facebook to associate the data collected via our website with your Facebook account, you must log out of Facebook before visiting our website. More information at https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/.
Twitter: Plug-ins from the short message network of Twitter Inc. are integrated on our internet pages. When you visit a page with such a plug-in, a direct connection is established between your browser and the Twitter server. Twitter thus receives the information that you have visited our site with your IP address. If you do not want Twitter to be able to associate the visit to our site, please log out of your Twitter user account. More information at https://twitter.com/privacy.
Instagram: Social plug-ins from Instagram (Instagram LLC, 1601 Willow Road, Menlo Park, CA 94025 USA) are also used on our website. When you visit a page with such a plug-in, your browser establishes a direct connection to Instagram's servers. If you are logged into Instagram, Instagram can directly assign the visit to our website to your Instagram account. If you do not want Instagram to directly assign the data collected via our website to your Instagram account, you must log out of Instagram before visiting our website.

If your personal data is processed on the basis of legitimate interests in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, you have the right under Article 21 GDPR to object to the processing of your personal data, provided there are reasons arising from your particular situation or the objection is directed against direct advertising. In the latter case, you have a general right of objection that is implemented by us without the need to specify a particular situation.
If you wish to exercise your right of revocation or objection, simply send an email to info@next-levels.de.
9. Data security
During the website visit we use the widespread SSL (Secure Socket Layer) procedure in conjunction with the highest level of encryption supported by your browser. As a rule, this is 256-bit encryption. If your browser does not support 256-bit encryption, we use 128-bit v3 technology instead.
We also use suitable technical and organizational security measures to protect your data against accidental or intentional manipulation, partial or complete loss, destruction or unauthorized access by third parties. Our security measures are continuously improved in line with technological developments.
