About marketing identifiers
When you use our website, we collect a unique device identifier for marketing purposes (the Advertising Identifier on iOS devices and the Google Ad ID on Android devices). This ID is unique for your device and contains no other personal data like your name, your phone number or your email address.
Sometimes we collaborate with Social Media platforms, e.g. to show a relevant message on your personal page. To do so, we share an identifier with these platforms, so they can check whether or not you have an account. Aside from this one identifier, we share no other personal data with Social Media platforms.
Resetting marketing identifiers
You are fully in control how companies like STAR may use this ID and you can reset the ID any time you want. To receive or turn off personal ad’s on your personal page, check your privacy settings on the Social Media platform (e.g. for Facebook, navigate in Facebook to Settings > Privacy > Advertising).
