The CMP ensures that no action is taken or carried out without your prior expressed consent, which is simultaneously subject to a consent requirement.

(1) Your IP address, which is collected at the time of collection by OneTrust.
(2) A randomly generated unique ID.
(3) The consents or individual data protection settings you’ve granted, which are stored in a cookie consent text file and used for storage using the local storage area on your device. The data is also stored on certified servers hosted by OneTrust.
The retention period is the period during which the data processed by CMP is stored for the purposes of consent management. Consent data (consent both given and revoked) shall be retained for one year. No renewed consent is required within this period, unless new systems are introduced, or legal or regulatory requirements require renewed consent.
For more information aboutOneTrust's data processing, please see OneTrust's privacy policy at: https://www.onetrust.com/privacy/
The purpose of data processing being performed via OneTrust is to provide the data in compliance with data protection regulations while managing the consent given by our Users.

The legal basis for using the OneTrust service provider is alsoArticle 6 (1) (f) of the GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the legally secure documentation and verifiability of consent as well as the control of our analysis campaigns based on your consent via usage of specialized processors and the respectively associated technical implementation.
The processing of data to provide aCMP solution is absolutely necessary for the operation of the platform. As long as YOURE is legally obliged to obtain the User's consent to certain data processing operations, the User has no option to object.
Online (in the web), we make use of the popular SSL (Secure SocketLayer) method in conjunction with the highest level of encryption supported by your browser for our offers.
You can tell whether an individual page of our website is transmitted in encrypted form by the closed key or lock symbol in the status bar of your browser.
We also use suitable technical and organizational security measures to protect your data against accidental or intentional manipulation, partial or complete loss, destruction or also against unauthorized access by Third Parties. Our security measures are continuously expanded in line with technological developments.
The digital assets and/or digital tokens are recorded on a public blockchain. It is a ledger which means a chain of blocks where each block contains the recording of any data transmission. Blockchains are decentralized or third-party networks that are not controlled or operated by any Third-PartyPartner service provider affiliates or business partners of GCU, and we have no access or authority to erase, modify, or alter any personal data that could be available in such networks.
There may arise a need to change and update this document. We therefore recommend that you read this policy regularly.
