How is my privacy protected on the marketplace?

At Circles, and the Circles Marketplace respectively, we care about your privacy. That’s why we’d like to inform you that our marketplace uses an open-source analytics tool that protects your data - it’s called Matomo. We do not evaluate your individual data profile nor do we want to advertise certain products or services based on your online behaviour. What we would like to do is foster simple overall statistics e.g. about user counts, location and language. We also want to check on an anonymous base how marketplace users found our website and how they navigate through the offers at the marketplace. All measures utilize pseudonymized user data and are only maintained in order to become able to improve the general marketplace experience.

By using the marketplace you will be asked to opt in this analysis, only then you agree to allow this website to analyse non-individualized data of the actions you take.

Other than that, it doesn’t use third-party services, except when your data is hosted on a server by the hosting provider Hetzner in Germany.

For further information, please take a look at our privacy policy.
