Mediavine serves content and advertisements when you visit the Website, which may use first and third-party cookies. A cookie is a small text file which is sent to your computer or mobile device (referred to in this policy as a “device”) by the web server so that a website can remember some information about your browsing activity on the Website.

First party cookies are created by the website that you are visiting. A third-party cookie is frequently used in behavioral advertising and analytics and is created by a domain other than the website you are visiting. Third-party cookies, tags, pixels, beacons and other similar technologies (collectively, “Tags”) may be placed on the Website to monitor interaction with advertising content and to target and optimize advertising. Each internet browser has functionality so that you can block both first and third-party cookies and clear your browser’s cache. The “help” feature of the menu bar on most browsers will tell you how to stop accepting new cookies, how to receive notification of new cookies, how to disable existing cookies and how to clear your browser’s cache. For more information about cookies and how to disable them, you can consult the information at All About Cookies.

Without cookies you may not be able to take full advantage of the Website content and features. Please note that rejecting cookies does not mean that you will no longer see ads when you visit our Site. In the event you opt-out, you will still see non-personalized advertisements on the Website.

  • IP Address
  • Operating System type
  • Operating System version

Mediavine Partners (companies listed below with whom Mediavine shares data) may also use this data to link to other end user information the partner has independently collected to deliver targeted advertisements.

This data includes usage data, cookie information, device information, information about interactions between users and advertisements and websites, geolocation data, traffic data, and information about a visitor’s referral source to a particular website. Mediavine Partners may also create unique IDs to create audience segments, which are used to provide targeted advertising.

Leaving comments on this website

If you use the comment function on this site, the time at which you created the comment will be stored along with your comment, as well as your username, unless you are posting anonymously.

Storage of the IP address

Our comment function stores the IP addresses of those users who post comments. Since we do not check comments on our site before they go live, we need this information to be able to pursue action for illegal or slanderous content.

How long comments are stored

The comments and the associated data (e.g. IP address) are stored and remain on our website until the content commented upon has been completely deleted or the comments are required to be removed for legal reasons (slander, etc.).

Legal basis

The comments are stored based on your consent per Art. 6 (1) (a) DSGVO. You may revoke your consent at any time with future effect. An informal email making this request is sufficient. The data processed before we receive your request may still be legally processed.

AWeber

Specifically, if you subscribe to our newsletter or email courses, we will ask for your first name and will require your email address.

You can always refuse to supply personally identifiable information and visit our site anonymously. However, it may prevent you from engaging in certain site-related activities.

If we make material changes in the collection of personally identifiable information, we will inform you by placing a notice on our site. We will use personal information received from you for internal purposes only and will not sell it or provide it to third parties.

We also collect each visitor's IP address, which helps us combat spam and fraud. We do not use IP addresses for any other purpose.

Non-personally Identifiable Information

We may collect non-personally identifiable information about you whenever you interact with our site.

Aweber

This website uses the services of Aweber to send newsletters and other emails. This service is provided by AWeber Communications, 1100 Manor Drive Chalfont, PA 18914, USA.

Aweber is a service which organizes and analyzes the distribution of newsletters. If you provide data (e.g. your email address) to subscribe to our newsletter, it will be stored on Aweber servers in the USA.

Aweber is certified under the EU-US Privacy Shield. The Privacy Shield is an agreement between the European Union (EU) and the US to ensure compliance with European privacy standards in the United States.

We use Aweber to analyze our newsletter campaigns. When you open an email sent by Aweber, a file included in the email (called a web beacon) connects to Aweber's servers in the United States. This allows us to determine if a newsletter message has been opened and which links you click on. In addition, technical information is collected (e.g. time of retrieval, IP address, browser type, and operating system). This information cannot be assigned to a specific recipient. It is used exclusively for the statistical analysis of our newsletter campaigns. The results of these analyses can be used to better tailor future newsletters to your interests.

If you do not want your usage of the newsletter/email to be analyzed by Aweber, you will have to unsubscribe from the newsletter/email. For this purpose, we provide a link in every newsletter/email we send. You can also unsubscribe from the newsletter/email directly on the website.

Data processing is based on Art. 6 (1) (a) DSGVO. You may revoke your consent at any time by unsubscribing to the newsletter/email. The data processed before we receive your request may still be legally processed.

The data provided when registering for the newsletter/emails will be used to distribute the newsletter or email service until you cancel your subscription when said data will be deleted from our servers and those of Aweber. Data we have stored for other purposes (e.g. email addresses for the members area) remains unaffected.

For details, see the Aweber privacy policy at https://www.aweber.com/privacy.htm

Social media 

On this website there are links to Facebook, Pinterest, Google+, Twitter and YouTube. When you click on them or leave a comment, your browser connects directly with that site and sends information such as your IP address, the date and time of your visit and information about how you use the social site.

Facebook: to prevent Facebook collecting your data, you should log out of your Facebook account while using this site.

Where possible and necessary, we use on leanjumpstart.com the Social Warfare Pro Plugin to prevent that data is transmitted to the service provider of social networks without your knowledge. The popular social media functions transfer user data of every requested page to Facebook & Co., even without clicking actively on the corresponding button. Data exchange takes place even if you logged out or are not a member of the respective network.

The Social Warfare solution that is used on our website, provides this information transfer only when the share buttons are actively clicked. We have in this context no influence to the scope, nature and purpose of the data processing by the provider of the social networks. We use Social Warfare for Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and Google Plus.
