GOOGLE ADSENSE
Our website uses functions of the Google AdSense service to integrate advertisements. These are operated by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. ("Google"). In this context, Google servers are accessed in the USA. Google also complies with certain legal frameworks relating to the transfer of data, such as the European Union (EU)-US and Swiss-US Privacy Shield Frameworks. In order to effectively implement the strict European data protection requirements, we have concluded an order processing agreement with Google.
Google AdSense uses cookies, i.e. small text files that are stored by the browser on your computer. Google AdSense also uses so-called web beacons. These are small, invisible graphics that make it possible to evaluate visitor traffic on the website. The information collected in this way on the use of this website and the advertising displayed on it as well as the IP address used are transmitted to Google servers in the USA and can be passed on by Google to contractual partners. The IP address sent by your browser will not be connected with other data from Google.
You can disable the functionality described here by Google AdSense by following the disabling actions described in the Google Analytics section above.
GOOGLE ANALYTICS REMARKETING
Our website uses functions of the Google Analytics service to integrate advertisements. These are operated by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. ("Google"). In this context, Google servers are accessed in the USA. Google also complies with certain legal frameworks relating to the transfer of data, such as the European Union (EU)-US and Swiss-US Privacy Shield Frameworks. In order to effectively implement the strict European data protection requirements, we have concluded an order processing agreement with Google.
The aim of this functionality is to link the information collected by the services Google Analytics, Google AdWords and Google DoubleClick to the corresponding target groups for the device-independent display of interest-related and personal advertising messages. If you have given Google your consent to this, Google will link your usage and surfing behavior on different devices with your Google account for this purpose. Google also temporarily links users’ internal identifiers to data from this feature to create cross-device advertising target groups. You can disable the device-independent playout of personalized advertising in your Google account by following this link: https://www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb/.
The data collected under your Google account is linked exclusively on the basis of your consent, which can be revoked at any time in the future pursuant to Article 6 para. 1 lit. a of the GDPR. If you have not given Google permission, do not have a Google account or are not logged in, the so-called remarketing cookie is set by Google, which automatically uses a pseudonym Cookie ID and enables interest-based advertising based on the pages you have visited. This is based on Article 6 para. 1 lit. f of the GDPR. Our legitimate interest as the operator of the website lies in the anonymized analysis of the user behavior of our page visitors in order to optimize the associated advertising.
Detailed information can be found in Google’s privacy policy at the following address: https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads.
GOOGLE ADWORDS
Our website uses conversion tracking functions of the Google AdWords service. These are operated by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. ("Google"). In this context, Google servers are accessed in the USA. Google also complies with certain legal frameworks relating to the transfer of data, such as the European Union (EU)-US and Swiss-US Privacy Shield Frameworks. In order to effectively implement the strict European data protection requirements, we have concluded an order processing agreement with Google.
If a user clicks on an ad provided by Google, the browser stores a cookie on the computer. This small text file is automatically deleted after a period of time set by Google. During this period, Google and the website operator can use the cookie to track how many users clicked on a particular ad and were redirected to a corresponding page. This cookie does not personally identify or track users.
You can disable the conversion tracking functionality described here by Google AdWords by taking the appropriate steps to disable cookies as described in the Google Analytics section above. Detailed information about this feature can be found in Google’s privacy policy at the following address: https://policies.google.com/privacy.
GOOGLE RECAPTCHA
Our website uses Google reCAPTCHA. This service is provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA ("Google"). Google also complies with certain legal frameworks relating to the transfer of data, such as the European Union (EU)-US and Swiss-US Privacy Shield Frameworks. In order to effectively implement the strict European data protection requirements, we have concluded an order processing agreement with Google.
The purpose of this function is to avoid automated data entry on our website. Google reCAPTCHA analyses the behavior of the website visitor using various features such as mouse movements and time spent on the page to distinguish whether the current visitor is a human being or a machine.

OTHER PLUG-INS
The following data processing in connection with social media plug-ins is carried out on the basis of our overriding legitimate interests in an optimal presentation of our offer pursuant to Article 6 para. 1 lit. f of the GDPR.
GOOGLE WE FONTS
Our website uses Google Web Fonts. This service is provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA ("Google"). Google also complies with certain legal frameworks relating to the transfer of data, such as the European Union (EU)-US and Swiss-US Privacy Shield Frameworks. In order to effectively implement the strict European data protection requirements, we have concluded an order processing agreement with Google.
The purpose is the uniform presentation of our website. To do this, the corresponding fonts from Google servers are loaded into the cache of your web browser. This tells Google that our website has been accessed using your IP address. If you cannot use Google Web Fonts, your computer will use standard fonts. This can change the appearance of the website. You can find Google’s current privacy policy at https://policies.google.com/privacy. For more information about Google Web Fonts, please visit https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq.
YOUTUBE

Google guarantees compliance with an appropriate level of data protection by participating in the Privacy Shield program. In order to effectively implement the strict European data protection requirements, we have concluded an order processing agreement with Google.
When you access a page with embedded content from YouTube, data is transferred to Google servers in the United States. This tells Google that our website has been accessed using your IP address. If you are logged in during your visit to our site, Google may associate that visit directly with your personal Google account. If you are logged in to your Google account, you can limit personalized advertising at https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated. You can find Google’s current privacy policy at: https://policies.google.com/privacy.
Our website uses functions of the social network Facebook. This feature is provided by Facebook Inc, 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, California 94025, USA. ("Facebook").

We point out that we as the provider of this website have no knowledge of whether and what information Facebook collects and uses. You can find detailed information on this in the provider’s data protection policy under the following link: https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/update.
Facebook utilizes standard contract clauses, relies on the European Commission’s adequacy decisions about certain countries, as applicable, and obtains consent for data transfers to the United States and other countries.

DATA SECURITY
For security reasons, our website uses the TLS encryption protocol, also known as SSL. The activated encryption of a connection is indicated by a lock symbol in the address line of the browser and by the address starting with https://www.clearwatervillas.com activated encryption serves to protect transmitted data from unauthorized access by third parties.
We also use suitable technical and organizational security measures to protect your data against accidental or intentional manipulation, partial or complete loss, destruction or unauthorized access by third parties. Our security measures are continuously updated according to technological developments. Nevertheless, we would like to point out that despite various measures, security gaps can always occur during data transmission on the Internet and absolute protection of personal data from access by unauthorized third parties is not possible.
SHARING DATA
Personal data will only be transferred by us if you have given your consent, if this is necessary to process your inquiry, to fulfil a contract or to carry out pre-contractual measures or because of our legitimate interests (e.g. to integrate an order data processor), which predominate within the scope of a weighing of interests. In this respect, data processing is based on Article 6 para. 1 a, b and f GDPR. If you have given us your consent and this is necessary for the processing of your inquiry, for example, because you have addressed a question with a foreign reference to us, we may transmit your personal data to our sales partners abroad. These distribution partners with whom we have concluded a contract for order processing may have their registered office outside a country of the European Union for which no decision on appropriateness or privacy standards has been taken by the European Union. Transfer of personal data in this case is based on standard contractual clauses of the European Commission.
