This policy explains our use of cookies and other technologies to understand, improve and protect LocalsFromZero.

1. WHAT ARE COOKIES?

LocalsFromZero uses cookies and similar technologies to help provide, protect, and improve the LocalsFromZero platform. This policy explains how and why we use these technologies and the choices you have. A cookie is a small data file that is transferred to your device (e.g. your phone or your computer). For example, a cookie could allow us to recognize your browser, while another could store your preferences. There are two main types of cookies used on the LocalsFromZero platform: (1) “session cookies” and (2) “persistent cookies.” Session cookies normally expire when you close your browser, while persistent cookies remain on your device after you close your browser, and can be used again the next time you access the LocalsFromZero platform.

Personal data is collected, used and processed on a legal basis, which means that the personal data of an individual is processed to fulfill the applicable legal obligations imposed by the legislation in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Regulation (EU) 2016/679 or the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) entered into force on 25 May 2016 and applies from 25 May 2018. The regulation is universally applicable and directly binding on all States of EU.

The amended Electronic Communications Act of the Republic of Slovenia, which entered into force at the beginning of 2013, introduced new rules regarding the use of cookies and similar technologies for storing data or accessing the data stored on a user’s computer or mobile device.

Data subjects have a constitutional and legal right to the protection of their data and the right to individually decide on their information privacy. In this sense, cookies intrude upon the individual’s privacy. The new legislation thus restricts the use of cookies.

The new legislation does not prohibit the use of cookies but enforces stricter rules as to under which conditions and how cookies and similar technologies can be used. It is of key importance that platform visitors are informed about the use of cookies and given a choice as to whether they agree to have their online activities tracked by the platform in this manner.

More information about data collecting can be found in our Privacy Policy.

We may also allow certain business partners to place these technologies on the LocalsFromZero platform.

To prevent Google Analytics from using your information for analytics, you may install the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser by clicking here.

Third parties may also use such tracking technologies to serve ads that they believe are most likely to be of interest to you and measure the effectiveness of their ads both on the LocalsFromZero platform and on other websites and online services.

Also, we do not control any of these opt-out links and are not responsible for the availability or accuracy of these mechanisms.

4. THIRD-PARTY SOCIAL PLUGINS

As a result of this, you may send the information that you are viewing on a certain part of the LocalsFromZero platform to a third party. If you are not logged into your account with the third party, then the third party may not know your identity.

A few examples of the types of cookies and other technologies LocalsFromZero uses:

4.1 FUNCTIONAL COOKIES

4.5 OUR DO NOT TRACK POLICY

Some browsers have “do not track” features that allow you to tell a website not to track you. These features are not all consistent. We do not currently respond to those signals. If you block cookies, certain features on our platform may not work. If you block or reject cookies, not all of the tracking described here will stop.

Certain options you select are browser- and device-specific.

We may also allow our business partners/Third Parties to use their cookies and other tracking technologies through LocalsFromZero. As a result, when you access or use LocalsFromZero, you will provide or make available certain information to us and to our business partners.

Please note that even if you choose to opt-out of receiving targeted advertising, you may still receive advertising on or about LocalsFromZero, but not tailored to the User’s interests.

6. USE OF GOOGLE MAPS

On this platform, we also use Google Maps (API), provided by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (‘Google’). Google Maps is a web service which displays interactive maps in order to display visual representations of geographical information. This service is used to show you our location and make it easier to get to us. When you access the subpages featuring integrated Google Maps, information on your use of our platform (such as your IP address) is sent to Google servers in the USA and stored there. This occurs irrespective of whether you are logged into a user account provided by Google or you do not have a user account. If you are logged into Google, your data is directly assigned to your account. If you do not wish it to be assigned to your Google profile, you must log out before activating the button. Google stores your data (even for users who are not logged in) as usage profiles and evaluates these. Any such evaluation occurs, in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, based on Google’s legitimate interest in placing personalized advertising, market research and/or needs-based design of its platform. You have the right to object to the creation of these usage profiles. To exercise this right, you must approach Google. Google LLC, with its headquarters in the USA, is certified for the US-European ‘Privacy Shield’ data protection framework, which guarantees compliance with the level of data protection applicable in the EU. If you do not agree to your data being transmitted to Google in future in conjunction with the use of Google Maps, you can also fully deactivate the Google Maps web service by turning off the JavaScript application in your browser. Google Maps and the map display on this platform can then no longer be used. You can view Google’s terms of use at www.google.de/intl/en/policies/terms/regional.
