Privacy

Privacy

Hello, my name is Justus Reinhardt and I created this website. If you have any questions about my privacy policy, please email me at Contact@JustusReinhardt.com. In detail, the following text describes which information is collected and recorded on this site.

Log Files

When visitors enter this site, log files are used to store information associated with their internet protocol (e.g. IP) address, internet service provider (e.g. ISP), browser type, date/time stamp, referring/exit pages, and number of clicks. Hosting services integrate these findings into their analytics and such information is used to track a user’s movement around the site, administer the site, analyze trends, and gather demographic information. Regardless, none of this particular data, including one’s IP address, is linked to any personally identifiable information.

Cookies and Web Beacons

Third party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on users’ visits to this website or other sites. I also use cookies and similar tracking technologies to track the activity on this site and store certain information. Tracking technologies used are beacons, tags, and scripts to collect and track information and to improve and analyze my services. The technologies I use may store information about my visitors’ preferences and personalize my web page content based upon my users’ browser type. For instance, account details about my users are privately stored for ease of access and can be found within the My Account page.

  • Cookies or Browser Cookies. A cookie is a small file placed on your device. You can instruct your browser to refuse all Cookies or to indicate when a Cookie is being sent. However, if You do not accept Cookies, you may not be able to use some parts of my services. Unless you have adjusted your browser setting so that it will refuse Cookies, my services may use Cookies.
  • Web Beacons. Certain sections of my services and our emails may contain small electronic files known as web beacons (also referred to as clear gifs, pixel tags, and single-pixel gifs) that permit me, for example, to count users who have visited those pages or opened an email (and allow me to view other related website statistics – for example, recording the popularity of a certain section and verifying system and server integrity).

Cookies can be “Persistent” or “Session” Cookies. Persistent Cookies remain on your personal computer or mobile device when you go offline, while Session Cookies are deleted as soon as you close your web browser.

I use both Session and Persistent Cookies for the purposes set out below.

  • Necessary / Essential Cookies
  • Type: Session Cookies
  • Administered by: Me

Purpose: These Cookies are essential to provide you with services available through the website and to enable you to use some of its features. They help to authenticate users and prevent fraudulent use of user accounts. Without these Cookies, the services that you have asked for cannot be provided. I only use these Cookies to provide you with those services.

  • Cookies Policy / Notice Acceptance Cookies
  • Type: Persistent Cookies
  • Administered by: Me

Purpose: These Cookies identify if users have accepted the use of cookies on the website.

  • Functionality Cookies
  • Type: Persistent Cookies
  • Administered by: Me

Purpose: These Cookies allow me to remember choices you make when you use this site, such as remembering your login details or language preference. The purpose of these Cookies is to provide you with a more personal experience and to avoid you having to re-enter your preferences every time you use this site.

Advertisements, Third-Party Vendors and the DoubleClick DART Cookie

Google’s use of the DART cookie enables Google to serve ads to my site’s visitors based upon their visits to both this site and other web addresses. JustusReinhardt.com’s only ads are those served by Google.

Disabling Cookies

If you wish to disable cookies, you may opt out of the use of the DART cookie by visiting Google’s Ad Settings. Visitors may also opt out of a third-party vendor’s use of cookies by visiting www.optout.aboutads.info. Furthermore, you may customize your cookie preferences upon entering this site.

User Information and Security

I possess an SSL (secure socket layer) certificate, which protects information sent across the internet. Because JustusReinhardt.com provides downloadable content and collects information such as, but not limited to, names, email addresses, phone numbers, and credit card numbers, an SSL certificate is necessary to protect my users’ personally identifiable information. My site is also regularly updated and scanned for malware; I take all necessary precautions to protect the privacy of my users.

The security of your personal data is important to me but remember that no method of transmission over the Internet (or method of electronic storage) is 100% secure. While I strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal data, I cannot guarantee its absolute security.
