1.5 Information on Your Interests

When you visit our website and/or integrated online services and portals, your activities and how you use our services are tracked and collected. This information is collected by using cookies and similar mechanisms, and is generally stored in a pseudonymized manner. When a user is logged in and uses one of our services, we may identify you as a user.
Furthermore, we may assign the information on how you interact with our services to your user profile for personalization purposes. This information in turn may be linked to your personal profile.

If, for example, you repeatedly visit a particular area of our website or you participate intensively in discussions about specific products and services, we can extrapolate your interests by means of usage analysis. This allows us to understand your interests from how you use our services in addition to the interests you have directly shared with us.

We may also supplement and analyze your personal profile with existing business information on a company level we have in our system, or other relevant information publicly available, or provided by third-parties where and as permitted under applicable law.
