In order to use our digital services, it may be necessary to transfer certain personal data to third countries, i.e. countries where the GDPR does not apply. However, we only allow your data to be processed in a third country if the specific requirements of Art. 44 ff. GDPR are met and thus an adequate level of data protection is guaranteed in that country. This means that the third country must either have an adequacy decision by the European Commission or suitable safeguards in accordance with Art. 46 GDPR or one of the conditions of Art. 49 GDPR. Unless otherwise stated below, we use the currently valid [standard contractual clauses](https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/DE/TXT/HTML/? uri=CELEX:32021D0914&from=DE “current version of the standard contractual clauses”) for the transfer of personal data to processors in third countries.
In order to protect your privacy and ensure a level of protection appropriate to the risk, we take technical and organizational measures in accordance with legal requirements, taking into account the state of the art, implementation costs, and the nature, scope, circumstances, and purposes of processing, as well as the varying likelihood and severity of threats to the rights and freedoms of natural persons. These measures ensure the confidentiality, integrity, availability, and resilience of your data. This includes, among other things, the use of recognized encryption methods (SSL or TLS) and pseudonymization.
However, we would like to point out that, due to the structure of the Internet, it is possible that the rules of data protection and the above-mentioned security measures may not be observed by other persons or institutions outside our area of responsibility. In particular, unencrypted data disclosed, e.g., by email, may be read by third parties. We have no technical influence on this.
You can contact the data protection officer with your request by mail or by email at swmh-datenschutz@atarax.de.
This privacy policy is updated from time to time. The date of the last update can be found at the beginning of this information.

Werden zur Verarbeitung Gerätekennungen oder andere personenbezogene Daten auf Ihrem Endgerät gespeichert oder abgerufen, erfolgt dies auf einer der Rechtsgrundlagen von Art. 6 DSGVO.
Um den von Ihnen ausdrücklich gewünschten Telemediendienst erbringen zu können, berücksichtigen wir darüber hinaus die Regelungen des § 25 Telekommunikation-Digitale-Dienste-Datenschutz-Gesetz (TDDDG), insbesondere die Erforderlichkeit nach § 25 Abs. 2 Nr. 2 TDDDG.
When our offer is used, we automatically employ essential technologies and process the following information:
The collection of these logs and their temporary storage and processing are necessary to ensure system security and integrity (in particular to ward off and defend against attempts at attack or damage) and are carried out in accordance with our legitimate interest (§ 25 (2) No. 2 TDDDG, Art. 6 (1) f GDPR).
The storage period for this log data is usually seven days; for reliable detection of AI bots, it is 30 days.

Account takeover for troubleshooting
If you contact us about an error in the operation of our digital service, we can take over your SZ account for a short time to identify and rectify the error so that we can trace the error and rectify it more quickly. This is only necessary for a few minutes in order to obtain information about the version, operating system, etc.
The legal basis for the aforementioned data processing is our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR.
The following tools and cookies are strictly necessary technologies, i.e., essential for providing our services as requested by the user.
The legal basis for the data processing described below is our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.
We have introduced a payment model for our online content, i.e. the content of our websites and apps is only made available for a fee. On the one hand, the conclusion of a contract is required for use, whereby the user has the choice of either paying a sum of money for a digital subscription or providing data. On the other hand, our paid content model provides that initially selected content or a certain number of articles can be accessed without prior conclusion of a subscription (so-called metering model) and then the content is restricted and only made available against payment of a sum of money or conclusion of a paid subscription. In addition, access to individual, exclusive "Plus" articles is only granted to subscribers.
The setting of cookies is absolutely necessary for this function, as otherwise it would not be possible for paying customers to access paid journalistic content.
If you have registered with us via Login, these reading authorisations will be linked to the personal data in your user account.
We use Datawrapper (Datawrapper GmbH, Raumerstraße 39, 10437 Berlin) to create interactive charts from statistics. We do not store any personal data and do not perform any tracking. The transfer of the IP address, which is used solely for the provision of the service, and a cookie are essential for embedding and display. This data is only required for the technical implementation of the embedding and is deleted from all systems after a maximum of 24 hours.
Firebase Crash Reporting dient der Stabilität und Verbesserung der App. Dabei werden Informationen über das verwendete Geräte und die Nutzung unserer App gesammelt (beispielsweise der Zeitstempel, wann die App gestartet wurde und wann der Absturz aufgetreten ist), die es uns ermöglichen, Probleme zu diagnostizieren und zu lösen. Hier finden Sie Informationen rund um die Funktionsweise von Crashlytics.
In order to obtain and store your consent under data protection law, we use the consent management platform from Sourcepoint (Sourcepoint Technologies, Inc., 228 Park Avenue South, #87903, New York, NY 10003-1502, United States). This platform uses strictly necessary cookies to query the consent status and thus display the corresponding content.
The data is stored for a maximum of 13 months.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| consentUUID | UniqueUserID to store the user's consent status | 12 months | Cookie |

In order to display the adverts on our digital offers in the correct size and in a format supported by your device and to be able to redirect you to the corresponding target page when you click on the advert, we, our advertising marketers and the respective third-party provider process your IP address and information about your device type. This is an absolutely necessary technology, which is shown in the data protection settings under the special category "Provide adverts or content technically".

"My SZ" offers you the option of displaying content that interests you or that you want to remember. Once you have selected your favourite topics, we will show you articles from the selected subject areas or the articles you have bookmarked. This requires a Login.
The legal basis for the aforementioned data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR.
When you enter a question, our SZ AI tool searches for suitable articles in the SZ article database, selects the five articles that best match the question and passes these together with the question to the language model (LLM, the actual AI). The LLM generates the answer exclusively from these articles. To improve the quality of future answers, we train the LLM with the questions you enter and the answers it receives. There is no personal reference here.
In order to be able to block requests that intentionally overload the system and to block users who deliberately want to force the AI to generate unethical or criminal statements, we analyse the questions entered and answers generated with the help of your SingleSignOn-ID (SSO-ID) on the basis of our overriding legitimate interest (Art. 6 para. I s.1 lit.f) GDPR) in protection against misuse. The SSO ID will be deleted after the purpose has been achieved, at the latest after four months.
We use embeds, i.e., embedded content, to offer you interesting content. The respective embedding is carried out using a technical process known as framing. Framing involves simply inserting a provided HTML link into the code of a website to create a display frame on our pages, enabling the content stored on the servers of the third-party platform to be played.
This third-party content is displayed to you with your consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR).
Some of this content comes from social networks or other companies, including those in the USA. By integrating their content, cookies and similar technologies may be used by them and data may be transferred to them, including to the USA (e.g., your IP address, browser information, cookie ID, pixel ID, page accessed, date and time of access). Details on the integrated content of the individual networks or these companies, which is stored on their servers and for the provision of which your IP address is transmitted to these companies, as well as on the data processing carried out by these companies, which may also include advertising purposes, can be found in the following lines.
We discuss the big topics of the day with you. You can write comments or other contributions. We use the Conversario tool from ferret go GmbH, Kadiner Str. 11, 10243 Berlin, Germany, both for publishing and moderating comments.
The first registration takes place exclusively via our login. For the comment function, we use a UID to identify you as a user, your e-mail address so that you receive notifications from the community and a nickname that is displayed in the comments. For legal reasons, we have to ask you to give us your real name when you register. Your real name does not have to appear above your posts - it is up to you whether you want to use a pseudonym on our site.
We collect and process the data you provide in order to be able to publish your comment as requested (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR). In particular, we also need your e-mail address in order to contact you in the event of complaints about your comment or report and to give you the opportunity to respond (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR).
The tool also supports us in moderating user comments on our social media sites. The analysis of user comments also serves to ensure compliance with the netiquette rules in the comment areas.
The following data is processed by Conversario:
The legal basis for data processing in this case is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR and is carried out in our interest in detecting violations of our netiquette rules in advance and preventing publication in this case. Further information can be found in the Conversario privacy policy.
You can change your data and delete it together with your comments by logging into the comment function and making the desired changes under Profile/Settings. There you also have the option of downloading your comment archive.
We use software from our service providers tickaroo (Tickaroo GmbH, Waffnergasse 8, 93047 Regensburg) and Heim:spiel (HEIM:SPIEL Medien GmbH & Co. KG, Am Stadtgraben 48, 48143 Münster) for our live reporting. Your browser calls up the online news ticker directly from the servers of the service providers. Your IP address, date, time and URL of all accesses are stored for a maximum of four weeks. Tickaroo creates anonymised access statistics; it is no longer possible to assign them to individual users. For the statistics, a random token is generated in the browser, stored as a cookie and sent with every ticker call.
The storage of and access to information in your device is absolutely necessary and is carried out in accordance with Section 25 (2) TDDDG.
The legal basis for the aforementioned data processing is our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR.
Mit dem Ausspielen und Anzeigen von Podcasts und Videos haben wir Dienstleister beauftragt, die in unserem Auftrag und nach unserer Weisung ihre Dienste und Tools in unsere digitalen Angebote einbinden. Dabei werden die IP-Adresse und Geräteinformationen für das technische Bereitstellen dieser Dienste sowie das Erheben statistischer Daten wie beispielsweise von Abrufzahlen verarbeitet. Diese Daten werden vor der Speicherung in der Datenbank anonymisiert oder pseudonymisiert, sofern sie für die Bereitstellung der Podcasts nicht erforderlich sind.
The legal basis for the aforementioned data processing is our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR.
If advertisements and adverts from third parties are played in the podcasts, this will only take place with your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a) GDPR).

The legal basis for the aforementioned data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR.
Wir können Ihnen Informationen über ähnliche Produkte und Leistungen per E-Mail zusenden (§ 7 Abs. 3 UWG). Ein Widerspruch ist jederzeit durch Klick auf den Abmeldelink in der E-Mail oder unter werbewiderspruch@sz.de möglich.
You can delete your login yourself at sz.de/abo under "Login data" or request this. It will be deleted after two years of inactivity at the latest.
Once you have deleted your login, you will no longer be able to use any digital services that require a login. If you still have digital subscriptions with us that require a login, the login cannot be deleted before the end of the agreed subscription term. If you delete your login, this does not replace the written cancellation of a digital subscription.
If you have a digital account with us as a subscriber to the printed edition, you can delete your digital account or instruct us to do so, but you will then lose the associated functions such as the online subscription service.
We use the data stored in your profile (this may be data that you have actively added there during registration or at a later date, or data that you have entered as part of a previous order and which we automatically adopt when you place a new order) to facilitate the ordering or other processes by means of pre-filled forms (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR).

Our digital services offer you the option of accessing digital puzzles directly from our services. For this purpose, your IP address is transmitted to the puzzle server of our service provider and stored in a system log file. We also save your score. The IP addresses are deleted after 10 days.
The legal basis for the aforementioned data processing is our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR.
You have the option of recommending content on our websites via the buttons placed on the content; on mobile devices via the native sharing function. We provide the social networks with content - and no personal data - that is used exclusively to display content. If you use the buttons, we merely link to the page of the respective social media provider. We do not process any of your personal data.
We use cookies and tracking tools to optimize our digital offerings based on your usage. To do this, we measure the development of reach and the use of content and functions, and use A/B testing to determine which variants users prefer.
We want to continuously develop and improve our products. To do this, we need to analyze usage. This serves to evaluate visitor traffic to our digital offerings and may include behavior, interests, or demographic information about visitors, such as age or gender, as pseudonymous values. With its help, we can see, for example, when our digital offerings are used most frequently or which functions are popular. This enables us to identify areas that need optimization.
In addition to usage analysis, we also use testing procedures to test different versions of our digital offerings or their components, for example, and to increase certain user actions or reactions if necessary.
For these purposes, profiles, i.e., data summarized for a usage process, are created and information is stored in a browser or on a terminal device and read from it. The information collected includes, in particular, websites visited and elements used there, as well as technical information such as the browser used, the computer system used, and information on usage times.
The IP addresses of users are also stored. We use an IP masking procedure (i.e., pseudonymization by shortening the IP address) for your protection. In general, no clear data of users (such as email addresses or names) is stored in the context of web analysis, A/B testing, and optimization, but rather pseudonyms, so that neither we nor the providers of the software used, who act as processors for us, know the actual identity of the users.
To analyse the performance of our articles live, we use the analysis script from Kilkaya (Kilkaya AS, Åsveien 3, 1424 Ski, Norway). Kilkaya is an analysis tool that was specially developed for news sites with high traffic and helps us to optimise and prioritise our pages and articles. Kilkaya captures all traffic metrics in real time, such as page views, clicks, time spent on pages, unique users. The tool uses the IP address to establish the connection to the server and to be able to function technically. We use a user ID to count unique users. No further data is linked to this, so that you cannot be personally identified.
The legal basis for data processing is your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR.
When you contact us, we only collect personal data (e.g. name, e-mail address, telephone number) if you provide it to us voluntarily. This information is expressly provided on a voluntary basis. The purpose of processing your data is to process and respond to your enquiry. This is also our legitimate interest in data processing in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR.
In the case of a telephone enquiry, your data will also be processed by telephone applications and in some cases also via a voice dialogue system in order to support us in the distribution and processing of enquiries.
We will delete your data that we have received in the course of contacting you as soon as your request has been fully processed and no further communication with you is required or requested by you.

You will receive newsletters from us if you explicitly order them by providing your e-mail address. We will check the e-mail address you have provided by sending a confirmation e-mail to it ("double opt-in procedure") to ensure that you are really the owner of the e-mail address.
We process the email address to send and analyse the newsletter (Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR). We analyse your clicks in newsletters with the help of so-called tracking pixels, i.e. invisible image files. These are assigned to your email address and are linked to a unique ID so that clicks in the newsletter can be clearly assigned to you. The purpose of the user profile is to be able to tailor the newsletter offer to your interests. We record when you read newsletters and which links you click on and use this information to create an interest profile.
You can unsubscribe from any newsletter at any time. There is a corresponding link in every newsletter for this purpose.
Your data will be deleted after cancellation of the newsletter at the end of the year in which you unsubscribed from the newsletter.

In order to participate in competitions, it is sometimes necessary for you to
To take part in quizzes and online games, you only need to register if you want to be entered in the high scores/leaderboards.
For registration and entry in the leaderboard, we process your e-mail address, a user name - preferably a fictitious one - and a password. You must enter the user name in your profile in your SZ account in order to be entered in the leaderboard. The user name will be published in the leaderboard on SZ.de if you click on the "Add to leaderboard" button after registering.
When offering (non-cash) prizes, further personal data is required from the winners, in particular after the end of the competition, such as their address, in order to be able to notify them if they win and send them the prize.
The collection and processing of personal data is used to organise the respective competition and quizzes and, if applicable, to send prizes. The data will be processed with your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a) GDPR), in the case of competitions in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b) GDPR. All data will be stored for the purpose and for the duration of the competition and deleted at the end of the campaign, provided there are no statutory retention obligations. The user name published in the high scores/best lists will only be deleted upon cancellation.
Your data may be passed on to our competition service providers and sponsors within the framework of the conditions of participation to which you have consented and deleted if they are no longer required.
For further details in connection with the respective competition, please refer to the conditions of participation.
You have the right to revoke your consent with effect for the future in accordance with Art. 7 para. 3 GDPR at datenschutz@sz.de.
In order to refinance our digital offerings, we market our advertising space - via our marketing service providers but also via third parties.
An overview of the third parties and how they process your data and for what purpose can be found in the data protection settings. As a SZ Plus subscriber, you will be shown fewer adverts. By reducing the amount of advertising, we ensure that the data we collect from SZ Plus subscribers is processed exclusively by us and by partners that we have checked. We oblige these partners to minimise data in accordance with European data protection regulations. Data collection via our verified advertising partners is thus reduced to a necessary minimum, for example in order to carry out reach measurements and quality improvements. These measures prevent unknown and unverified third parties from creating individual profiles of our digital subscribers based on their usage behaviour and using them for their own purposes.
Our advertising marketers support us in marketing our advertising space by acquiring and displaying adverts.
We use the following marketers:
We have concluded either an agreement within the meaning of Art. 26 GDPR with these third parties and the third parties they use in the context of marketing within the meaning of Art. 4 No. 10 GDPR, in which we have defined the respective responsibilities for the fulfilment of the obligations under the GDPR with regard to joint processing, or an order processing agreement within the meaning of Art. 28 GDPR.
In the case of joint responsibility, we are obliged to enable you to grant and withdraw consent under data protection law. We are also the central point of contact for you as a data subject. We forward data subject enquiries that we receive and that relate to joint processing to our marketers for response without delay. Irrespective of this, you can assert the rights to which you are entitled under the GDPR as a data subject both with and against us and with and against any other controller.
The legal basis for data processing is your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR.
When you access our digital offerings, you will also be shown content from third parties who use our advertising space to place adverts. We refinance our offering by displaying these adverts. If such content is loaded, this is done from the servers of the respective third-party providers. This always involves the transmission of certain data to the third-party providers, in many cases including personal data. In addition, cookies or similar technologies are used for most of the third-party services used to load the content.
In order to provide advertising that is relevant and tailored to current interests, an attempt is made to draw conclusions about current interests based on the website visit and surfing behaviour. This user data is used to communicate advertising in the form of banners and other marketing methods - possibly based on the user's interests. For the purpose of retargeting (remarketing) of website visitors, as well as for the purpose of measuring success, cookies from third-party providers (so-called third-party cookies) are used and, if necessary, user profiles are created under a pseudonym. These can be analysed for advertising and monitoring purposes. It is not possible to draw direct conclusions about a person.
An overview of the third parties and how they process your data and for what purpose can be found in the privacy settings.
The legal basis for data processing is your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR.
In this context, data may also be transferred to third countries outside the EU with your consent in accordance with Art. 49 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR.
The publisher uses the Transparency and Consent Framework of IAB Europe 2.2 to manage this type of advertising in compliance with data protection regulations. This framework of the Interactive Advertising Bureau Europe ("IAB Europe"), an industry association for online marketing, defines and monitors the data protection-compliant display of advertising.
IAB Europe has defined the following purposes for the processing of data, including the personal data of users, in order to manage advertising in compliance with data protection regulations:
Saving or accessing information on a terminal device (Purpose 1)
Cookies, terminal device or similar online identifiers (e.g. login-based identifiers, randomly generated identifiers, network-based identifiers) may be stored on or read from your terminal device together with other information (e.g. browser type and browser information, language, screen size, supported technologies, etc.) in order to recognise it each time it accesses an app or a website. This is done for one or more of the processing purposes listed here.
Most of the processing purposes explained in this notice are based on the storage of or access to information on your device when you use an app or visit a website. For example, it may be necessary for a provider or website operator to store a cookie on your device when you first visit a website in order to recognise it on your next visits (by retrieving this cookie each time).
Use of reduced data to select adverts (Purpose 2)
Adverts presented to you on this service may be based on reduced data, such as the website or app you are currently using, your approximate location, your device type or the content you are interacting with (or have interacted with) (e.g. to limit the frequency of adverts displayed to you).
