The collection of technical data when visiting our website is necessary to ensure the smooth use of the website. The information is also collected in order to improve the quality of our website and to be able to analyze the use of the website in the best possible way.

We use this technical data without attribution to your person or other profiling for statistical analysis for the smooth operation, security and optimization of our website. The information is also used to anonymously record the number of visitors to our website (traffic) and to measure the extent and type of use of our website. Based on this information, we can provide site-related content, analyze traffic and improve our services.

Data protection and storage duration
Dara Capital takes appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect personal data from unauthorized access, loss and misuse. The collected data will only be stored as long as there is a legal basis for doing so. When storage is no longer necessary, the data is deleted. As a matter of principle, no personal data is passed on to third parties. Nevertheless, some of our service providers may have access to certain personal data, especially for the maintenance and care of our IT systems. However, complete safety in data transmission over the Internet cannot be guaranteed, as we cannot influence external factors.

SSL encryption
To protect the security of your data during transmission, we use state-of-the-art encryption procedures (e.g. SSL) via HTTPS.

Tracking Technologies
Dara Capital uses tracking technologies such as cookies on its website. These are small files that your browser automatically creates and that are stored on your end device (e.g. laptop, tablet or smartphone) when you visit our site. In the cookie, information is stored that arises in each case in connection with the specific end device used. However, this does not mean that we thereby obtain direct knowledge of your identity. The use of cookies primarily serves to provide better user experience. For example, 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, to optimize user-friendliness, we also use temporary cookies that are stored on your terminal device for a certain period of time. When you visit our site again to use our services, it is automatically recognized that you have been with us before and which entries and settings you have made so that you do not have to enter them again.

Furthermore, we use cookies to statistically record the use of our website and to evaluate it for the purpose of optimizing our offer for our users. These cookies are automatically deleted after a certain period of time. The data processed by cookies is necessary for the above purposes. Most browsers accept cookies automatically. However, you can configure your browser so that no cookies are stored on your computer or a notice always appears before a new cookie is created. However, completely disabling cookies may prevent you from using all the features of our website.

Web analytics
We use web analytics tools and re-targeting technology to gain insights into how our website is used and to improve our web experience for users. Web analytics tools are provided by third-party vendors. The information collected for this purpose about the use of a website is usually transmitted to the third-party provider’s server through the use of cookies or similar technologies. Depending on the third-party provider, these servers may be located abroad. The transmission of the data usually takes place by shortening the IP addresses, which prevents the identification of individual end devices. A transmission of this information by third-party providers only takes place due to legal regulations or in the context of order data processing.

Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics on our website, the web analysis service of Google Inc. („Google“, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, California, USA; responsible for Europe is Google Limited Ireland).

Google Analytics uses cookies that allow Google to analyze your use of our website. The information collected by the cookie about your use of our website (including your IP address) is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

We would like to point out that on this website Google Analytics has been extended by the code „_anonymizeIp();“ to ensure anonymized collection of IP addresses (so-called IP masking). If anonymization is active, Google truncates IP addresses within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area so that no conclusions can be drawn about your identity. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. Under certain circumstances, Google may associate your IP address with other Google data. For data transfers to the USA, Google has undertaken to sign and comply with the EU standard contractual clauses. To deactivate Google Analytics, Google provides a browser plug-in at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.

Google Maps
We use Google Maps on our website. Google Maps is a web service for displaying interactive (land) maps to visually display geographical information. By using this service, our office location is shown to you and a possible approach is made easier. Already when calling up the sub-pages in which the map of Google Maps is integrated, information about your use of our website (such as your IP address) is transmitted to Google servers in the USA and stored there. This occurs regardless of whether Google provides a user account through which you are logged in or whether no user account exists. If you are logged in to Google, your data will be directly assigned to your account. If you do not want the assignment to your profile at Google, you must log out before activating the button. Google stores your data (also for users who are not logged in) as usage profiles and evaluates them. For data transfers to the USA, Google has undertaken to sign and comply with the EU standard contractual clauses. We would also like to point out that Google has its own privacy policy, which is independent of ours.

Social media plugins
No social media plugins are used on our website.
