Preamble
With the Dolphin Website Builder, Jimdo offers a data-driven website building tool that enables the creation of an innovative website in a short time. The data-driven Dolphin product requires a constant and continuous flow of information as regards User interaction and feedback, as well as regards the collection, storage, analysis and evaluation of this information. While Jimdo Dolphin strives to provide a tailored user-experience, at the same time Jimdo offers its services to a broad range of users. Jimdo continually aims to combine the strengths of data-driven, innovative and agile technologies with the desires and budget of a broad User base. By creating a website, the User acknowledges that this innovative and agile website creation process can involve changes and advances, in particular as regards market development, changing technologies and costs, and User requirements. Service providers from all over the world can be involved in this innovative and agile website development. In addition to service providers from the European Union Jimdo also uses service providers that are located outside of the European Union, e.g. from the USA. Jimdo ensures that all measures required under European data protection law are taken to ensure an adequate level of data protection. An up-to-date list of Jimdo (sub)Processors can be found in the Jimdo Privacy Policy at any time.
1. Scope of Application
1.1 The following Supplemental Terms apply in the respective version in addition to the Jimdo General Terms and Conditions of Service. These can be accessed via the following link: Jimdo General Terms and Conditions. If the General Terms and Conditions contain provisions that contradict these Supplemental Terms as concerns the use of the Jimdo Dolphin Services, the provisions of these Supplemental Terms shall apply in that case.
1.2 These Supplemental Terms also apply to all enhancements to the Dolphin services made available by Jimdo in the administration area, unless they are the subject of a separate agreement. In this case, the separate agreement of the extensions shall apply.
1.3 The user undertakes not to duplicate, copy, resell or exploit any part of the Dolphin service, use of the Dolphin service or access to the service without the express written consent of Jimdo.
2. The Dolphin Statistics
2.1 The "statistics" offered in the administration area of the User’s website, (hereinafter referred to as the “Dashboard” or “administration area”) are provided by Jimdo's website analysis tools, which are based on Google Analytics™. They can be activated and deactivated in the administration area and offer Users of certain Packages (e.g. the Start, Grow, eCommerce or Unlimited Packages) the possibility to gain a meaningful overview and analysis of statistical data for their own Dolphin website in the dashboard.
2.2 With this statistics function, the data of the website visitors, collected by Google Analytics™ for the respective Jimdo website is selected, analyzed, interpreted and presented by Jimdo in the dashboard.
2.3 Google Analytics™ is a web analysis service provided by Google Ireland Ltd. (“Google”). The Google terms of use for Google Analytics™ can be found here. Jimdo has already entered into a data processing agreement with Google for the Jimdo Analysis of the Google Analytics™ statistics.
2.4 Jimdo can offer the Jimdo users who have purchased a specific package and who have already activated the "Tracking" function in the dashboard, the option to connect their own Google Analytics account to their website for even more detailed statistics and where possible, to receive further analysis of the website visitors. In this case, the corresponding Google Analytics terms and conditions apply. To the extent that the User uses this function in order to use Google Analytics, the Google Ads Data Processing Terms, which are available here, apply.
2.5 For the data processing in relation to the Dolphin Statistics, Jimdo and the User (hereinafter collectively referred to as "The Controllers" or individually as “the Controller”) are jointly responsible within the meaning of Article 4(7) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
2.6 Within the framework of this Joint Controllership, Jimdo is entitled to display a notice in relation to the Dolphin Statistics on the user's website in order to provide visitors to the website with a contact point for asserting their rights within the meaning of Article 12 et seq. GDPR, as well as to inform affected persons as to how Google Analytics data is processed by Jimdo and the User, as Joint Controllers. Users are obliged to keep the preformulated Google Analytics notice provided by Jimdo available on their websites at all times.
2.7 Insofar as the User does not have the data to fulfill or handle requests from data subjects according to Art. 12 - 23 GDPR without assistance from Jimdo, Jimdo is obligated to assist the User with this duty, within the framework of this joint controllership. The User is obliged to process personal data in connection with the use of Google Analytics within the scope of its responsibility, only where there is a legal basis for the processing of this data. In accordance with the applicable data protection legislation, as well as other stipulations and laws, the User is obliged to obtain legitimate consent to the use of Google Analytics cookies from their site visitors, insofar as this is required by law. Where the User is of the opinion that this is not technically possible with the Jimdo website building tool, then it is recommended that the User disable the tracking and statistics.
2.8 The Joint Controllers are themselves responsible for keeping a record of their processing activities, carrying out a data protection impact assessment or consultation with the supervisory authorities, insofar as these measures are required by law. The Joint Controllers have undertaken to provide appropriate technical and organizational security measures for the data to be processed in order to ensure and demonstrate that the processing takes place in accordance with the relevant data protection provisions, in particular Article 32 GDPR.
2.9 With regard to any intended processing by a (Sub)Processor, the Responsible Party, i.e. the Controller((s) has the following obligations: (a) Prior to the Processor processing the personal data for the first time, the Controller must exercise due diligence to ensure that the Processor is able to ensure the protection of personal data required by the applicable data protection regulations; (b) The Controller must ensure that the agreement with such a Processor is governed by a written contract incorporating the conditions set out in Article 28 (3) GDPR.
2.10 The Joint Controllers will immediately inform each other of operational disruptions that threaten the confidentiality, integrity or availability of data, particularly in the event of suspected personal data breaches. The Joint Controllers will reach agreement on the content of the report and will keep each other informed as to the communication with the supervisory authority. This also applies to cases where there is a legal obligation to inform a data subject about a data protection breach.
2.11 The data subject can assert his rights as regards the processing of the Google Analytics data to both Controllers. If measures are required in accordance with the rights being asserted (eg rectification, deletion, restriction, notifications to recipients, transfer and surrender of the data), the Controllers shall undertake this action autonomously. Insofar as an affected person (i.e. the data subject) asserts their rights as regards the processing of the Google Analytics data towards one of the Controllers, that Controller will immediately and without undue delay, inform the other respective Controller, in text form. The Controller that is directly contacted by the data subject concerned, is responsible for the fulfillment of that data subject’s rights. Furthermore that Controller will carry out the communication with the person concerned, gather the necessary information together, examine the claim being taken and implement all related measures and actions accordingly. The Controllers are obliged to assist each other in fulfilling such claims. The Controllers will keep one another continually informed in this regard and intend to reach agreement on all essential steps involved.
3. Selected Partners
3.1 Jimdo may allow the User to connect or integrate services, products, and tools from Selected Partners via the Administration section/dashboard. The use and/or integration of such Partners, whether presented by Jimdo or not, is solely determined by the User and occurs at the User’s own risk and liability.

In isolated cases, Jimdo reserves the right to request appropriate evidence.
