Data Protection
For us, The Abraham Group, the protection of your personal data is a very important concern. It is
therefore natural for us to deal with your personal data in compliance with the applicable legal
data protection provisions.
With this privacy policy we explain to you which data in the context of the use of this website are
collected, processed and used for which purposes and which rights you are entitled to.
Data Collection and Processing When Visiting Our Website
As is usual with many websites, the retrieval of the individual web pages from our web servers and
the web analytics software Google Analytics we use automatically collects and processes the
following non-personal data:
Collection and Processing of Personal Data and Consent
We collect, process and use personal data such as your name, postal address, email address or
other contact details only if they have been entered by you on the website and transmitted to us
and to the extent that such collection, processing and use is permitted by law or covered by your
consent.
The use of certain services of our website such as, information and study requirements, the
contact form, the callback service and the registration for our mentoring makes the collection,
processing and use of personal data necessary. In this case, we take the requirement of data
economy seriously and only collect those personal data marked as mandatory in the respective
online forms that are required for the purpose of using and processing the respective service. The
personal data provided in the other form fields are voluntary and used by us for the purpose of
being able to address you more personally and / or individually or to increase the service for you,
for example through the possibility of queries. For each of these services, we point out to you, at
the appropriate place on our website, the purposes for which we collect, process and use the
respective personal data. Any collection, processing and use of your personal data will only be for
the stated purposes and to the extent necessary to achieve these purposes.
In addition, if your prior consent is required for certain data collection, processing and use, such as
service telephone calls and the use of our platform or our information e-mails, we will, of course,
ask you for your consent beforehand at the corresponding section of our website ask. These
declarations of consent are recorded by us and can be accessed by you at any time at the
appropriate place on our website. We recommend that you print out the declarations of consent
for your own documents. You are entitled to revoke your given consent at any time in whole or in
part with effect for the future. Even such a revocation will be logged by us.
When necessary/requested, your data will be destroyed in compliance with all GDPR rules and
requirements.
How We Collect Member, Visitor or User Information
The information we gather falls into two categories:
Information collected as a result of you navigating through the Site.
Personal information you voluntarily supply when you subscribe, order, post a message, photo,
video or sound recording, send a message to another user, or participate in a chat room, complete
a survey, enter a contest, or apply for a promotional product.
The first type of information we collect can be thought of as "passive" information in that we
collect certain details about your visit to our site without you actively inputting any identifying
information. This type of passive information that we collect and store in our databases, may
include one or more of the following types of information ("Data"): your Internet Protocol (IP)
address; the name of the domain name from which you access the Internet; the IP address of the
Website from which you linked to the Site or our network of sites; browser data; email address
data; and the date and time you access our Site and its functions. For example, when a visitor,
member, subscriber, or other Site user requests web pages from the Site’s server, clicks on
banners or other links or otherwise uses or views the Site’s services, products or other functions,
we or our agents may automatically collect some information ("Data") about the visitor, member,
subscriber or user. This information may include the IP address from which the Site is being
accessed, the pages or links that were requested, the special preferences or requests of the user
and cookie information received from the computer of the visitor, member, subscriber or user.
While the collection of Data described above could be thought of as passive, the second way we
collect information is more active.
For example, we may ask you to provide personal information. Whether or not you provide this
personal information is completely optional. This "Optional Information" may include your name,
username, e-mail address, physical address (or part of it such as your zip code), telephone number,
gender, marital status, occupation, education and any special interests or affiliations. Additional
"Optional Information," such as a credit card number, expiration date, security code and billing
address may be requested for participation in special promotions or offers, or for billing and
shipping information. We may also use "Optional Information" to verify identity, and protect
against fraud. When a subscriber, member or user of this Site sends any personal communication
or correspondence, by any means, to the Site, another Site User, the Company or any employees,
agents or representatives of Company or Site, we may collect and use any and all such information
and all other Data regarding that communication including the I.P. address the communication
originated from. Once you submit personal information to the Company or Site we may collect and
store information about your activities on the Site.
Cookies
Cookies are one of the tools that we use to passively collect Data.
Internet cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that transfer to your computer’s hard drive through
your Web browser to enable our systems to recognize your browser and to provide personalized
features and marketing. Cookies are used for authenticating, tracking and maintaining specific
information about users, such as site preferences or shopping cart contents. Most Internet
browsers allow the option to enable or disable cookies. You may disable cookies, but this may
make portions of this Site unusable. Cookies are simple pieces of data unable to perform any
operation by themselves. They are neither spyware nor viruses, despite the detection of cookies
from certain sites by many anti-spyware products. This Site uses cookies to make the browsing
experience of our members, subscribers and users more efficient and convenient. Our system will
use cookies to remember your web preferences, and to assist us in tracking and targeting the
interests, preferences and desires of our Site users to present the most appropriate messages,
offers and other communications to our users, and to generally enhance their experience at our
Site. Any and all information about Site visitors, members, subscribers or users collected by the
Company, the Site or any agents or affiliates of Company or Site, through the use of cookies or
other similar means may be included in our database and used in a manner consistent with this
Privacy Policy.
We use remarketing pixels from sites including, but not limited to, Google, Facebook, and Twitter
to aid in customized, targeted follow-up advertising. These third-party vendors show our ads on
sites across the Internet by using cookies based on past visits to our website. Anyone can opt-out
of Google’s use of cookies by visiting Google’s Ads Settings
(https://www.google.com/settings/ads). Anyone can opt-out of a third-party vendor’s use of
cookies by visiting the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page
(https://www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp).
You May Encounter Third Parties on Our Site
We want to inform you that third parties such as affiliates and advertisers use cookies on or in
association with our Site. We often have no access or control over these cookies. We may also
allow third party service providers to deliver special offers or services to Site users. We urge you
to consult the privacy policies of any third party that you encounter on this Site.
Clear Gifs ("web Beacons")
Clear GIFs, also known as "web beacons" or "single-pixel GIF’s" are very small images (typically 1 x
1 pixel) that help websites understand their customers better. While any type of file can operate
as a web beacon, clear GIFs are most popular because their very small file size prevents them from
interfering in the websites’ operation. Clear GIFs function like cookies, in that they are used to
track and measure online actions taken by website users. In contrast to cookies clear GIFs are not
stored on a user’s hard drive, but are embedded into the graphics, text or other components of
web pages. Web pages and graphical emails use codes that tell your computer what to do when a
page is opened. While they typically contain text and graphics that you see on the screen, often
web pages also contain instructions or tags' that then ask the website's server to send you further
content (such as an image or a block of text that changes frequently). Web beacons are retrieved
in the same way as the text and graphics that you see on a website or in an email, and the action of
calling the material from another server allows the event to be counted. When a user's browser
requests information from our Site we may use GIFs to gather "passive" information such as the IP
address of your computer; the time the material was viewed; the type of browser that retrieved
the image; and the prior existence of cookies from our Site. This is information that could be
gathered through the use of cookies. Web beacons do not give any "extra" information away. They
are simply a convenient way for us to gather the simple statistics and manage cookies. Clear GIFs
may be used by third parties to monitor activity on the Site. Turning off the browser's cookies will
prevent web beacons from tracking your specific activity, but web beacons may still record an
anonymous visit from your IP address.
Facebook
Facebook Tools are used on the website and may use cookies, web beacons, and other storage
technologies to collect or receive information from your websites and elsewhere on the internet
and use that information to provide measurement services and target adds. You can opt out of the
collection and find more information on your choices here: http://www.aboutads.info/choices and
http://www.youronlinechoices.eu.
Google Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. (“Google”).
Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies”, text files that are stored on your computer and that
allow an analysis of the use of the website by you. The information generated by the cookie about
your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.
However, if IP anonymisation is activated on this website, your IP address will be shortened by
Google beforehand within member states of the European Union or other parties to the
Agreement on the European Economic Area.
Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be sent to a Google server in the US and
shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to
evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other
services related to website activity and internet usage to the website operator. The IP address
provided by Google Analytics as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google
data.
You can prevent the storage of cookies by a corresponding setting of your browser software;
however, please note that if you do this, you may not be able to use all the features of this website
to the fullest extent possible. In addition, you may prevent the collection by Google of the data
generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) as well
as the processing of this data by Google by downloading the browser plug-in available under the
following link and install (http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en).
Like many other websites, this website also uses the Google AdWords online advertising program
and, as part of that, Google Conversion Tracking to measure which websites our ads work best on.
Google AdWords sets a cookie on your computer if you’ve reached this website through a Google
ad. These cookies lose their validity after 540 days and are not used for personal identification. If
you visit certain pages of this website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we may
recognize that you clicked on the ad and were redirected to this page. Each advertiser receives
different cookies. Cookies can not be tracked through the websites of advertisers. The
information obtained by using the conversion cookie is used to determine which visitors have
triggered a specific action on our site through advertisements. We learn the total number of users
who clicked on our ads, and which clicks resulted in an action. However, we do not receive any
information that personally identifies a user. If you do not wish to participate in the tracking
process, you can clear or disable the Google Conversion Tracking cookie from your Internet
browser under User Preferences by setting your browser to block cookies from the domain
“googleadservices.com”. You will not be included in the conversion tracking statistics.
By using this website, you consent to the processing of data about you by Google in the context of
Google Remarketing and Google Conversion Tracking in the manner and for the purposes set out
above. Please refer to Google’s Privacy Policy before using this website if necessary.
