On the safe side: Imprint and privacy policy

Written from on
Imprint and privacy policy

By now, most companies know that they have to make an imprint and a privacy policy available on their website - otherwise, there is a risk of high warnings and serious legal consequences. In order to be able to conclude the topic quickly, the texts are taken over in a hurry from googled online generators. In the process, the text for the data protection declaration is often copied directly under the imprint section, which is illegal according to a decision by the Higher Regional Court of Hamburg and can have serious consequences. One thing is certain: every website needs a privacy policy that is complete in terms of content and can be called up separately from the imprint! We have summarized what companies must pay attention to when setting up an imprint and privacy policy on their website and what will change in 2018 with the General Data Protection Regulation:

High-revenue search engine advertising thanks to bid management

Written from on
Get the clicks you want

According to Statista, the revenues generated with the help of search engine advertising (SEA) will continue to rise until 2021. However, for many companies that have laboriously familiarized themselves with Google AdWords, it is becoming increasingly difficult to optimize bidding strategies and the desired success with SEA unfortunately often fails to materialize. The more extensive the advertising campaigns become, the more often the use of the complex bidding system and the elaborate optimization of ad budgets pushes even the most motivated online marketers to their limits - the corresponding click and sales figures are then usually missing. Bid management tools help advertisers to create and adapt bid strategies - thanks to smart algorithms and artificial learning mechanisms, 20 to 60 percent more ad clicks can be achieved.But how does bid management work and what do advertisers need to pay attention to in order to maximize their returns in search engine advertising?

Data security in digital commerce: EU-US Privacy Shield holds up

Written from on
Data security in digital commerce

There are hardly any physical borders left to constrict expanding online commerce. However, legal differences persist between increasingly interconnected nations and companies, which can be an obstacle to the development of global e-commerce: For example, on November 22, 2017, the General Courts of the European Court of Justice rejected a challenge to the EU-US Privacy Shield regulating transatlantic data sharing. This ruling was made at the European level and is relevant for companies across Europe involved in digital commerce, as the issue of data protection cannot be ignored when managing customer data. The EU-US Privacy Shield is the successor to the Safe Harbor agreement, which was the legal basis for personal data transfers between the EU and the US until 2015. As explained in our detailed overview on the topic of international data protection, strict data protection principles apply within Europe that must also be adhered to when transferring data to third countries - even if they are not bound by the EU's data protection regulations. This becomes a problem when a third country such as the USA falls short of European data regulations and is considered "unsafe". Since 2016, the EU-US Privacy Shield has protected the personal data of European citizens that is securely transferred to US companies in the course of this - which could be the case when using American software, for example.
