VG Wort / Scalable Central Measuring Method
We use the “Scalable Central Measuring Method” (SZM) of INFOnline GmbH (INFOnline GmbH, Brühler Str. 9, D-53119 Bonn) to determine statistical values for the probability of text copying. Anonymous measured values are collected in this process. The access number measurement uses either a session cookie or a signature that is created from various automatically transmitted information from your browser to recognize computer systems. IP addresses are only processed in anonymized form. The method was developed with data protection in mind. The sole purpose of the procedure is to determine the probability of copying individual texts. Users are never identified at any time. You will not receive any advertising through the system.
Many of our pages are equipped with JavaScript calls that we use to report access to the Verwertungsgesellschaft Wort (VG Wort) collection society. We thus enable our authors to participate in the distributions of VG Wort, which ensure the statutory compensation for the use of copyrighted works according to § 53 of the Copyright Act.
Usage data and metadata of the users are processed here, whereby IP addresses are shortened and the measurement methods are pseudonymous. The shortened IP address is stored for a maximum of 60 days. Usage data, in connection with a pseudonymous identifier (“identifier”), are stored for a maximum of 6 months.
Users also have an opt-out option to object to the collection for the aforementioned purposes: https://optout.ioam.de. For more information, refer to INFOnline’s privacy policy: https://www.infonline.de/datenschutz/benutzer.
