Dies sind interaktive Mini-Programme, die auf unserer Website laufen, um bestimmte Dienste von einem anderen Unternehmen zur Verfügung zu stellen (z.B.: Anzeige von Nachrichten, Meinungen, Musik, usw.). Persönliche Informationen, wie z.B. Ihre E-Mail-Adresse, können durch das Widget erfasst werden. Durch das Widget können auch Cookies gesetzt werden, damit sie ordnungsgemäß funktionieren.

Ihren Namen, Ihre Adresse und Ihre Kreditkartennummer angeben, sowie den Namen und andere Details der Empfänger der Geldtransfers, mit deren Durchführung Sie uns beauftragen.
Sonstige Informationen, die Sie uns mitteilen. Es handelt sich hierbei um Informationen über Sie, die Sie uns mitteilen, indem Sie Formulare auf unserer Website ausfüllen (z.B.: im Abschnitt „Kontakt“) oder durch entsprechende Korrespondenz mit uns per Telefon, E-Mail oder auf andere Art und Weise. Hierzu gehören z.B. Informationen, die Sie bei der Anmeldung auf der Website als Ihre Kontaktdaten angeben und falls Sie ein Problem mit unserer Website melden.

Sonstige Quellen. Wir erhalten Informationen über Sie aus anderen Quellen, einschließlich öffentliche, zugängliche Datenbanken und kombinieren diese Daten mit Informationen, die wir bereits über Sie haben.

Informationen, die wir über Sie erfassen.
- Wie die meisten Websites verwenden wir „Cookies“, die uns dabei helfen, unsere Website – und Ihre Nutzung der Seite – zu verbessern. „Cookies“ bedeuten, dass eine Website sich an Sie erinnert. Es handelt sich um kleine Textdateien, die Websites auf Ihren Computer (bzw. auf Ihr Handy/Tablet) übertragen. Sie verbessern die Nutzung und Geschwindigkeit der Website – beispielsweise, indem Ihr Name und Ihre Adresse automatisch in Textfeldern ausgefüllt werden. Für weitere Informationen lesen Sie bitte unsere Cookies-Richtlinie.
- Log-Dateien. Darüber hinaus erfassen wir für jeden Ihrer Besuche auf unserer Website automatisch bestimmte Informationen (z.B.: Art des Browsers, Internet-Service-Provider (ISP), Verweisseiten/Exit Pages, Betriebssystem, Datums-/Zeitstempel und Clickstream-Daten). Wir können dieses automatisch erfasste Log mit anderen über Sie gesammelten Informationen kombinieren.
- Social-Media-Widgets. Unsere Webseite enthält Social-Media-Widgets oder Funktionen, wie z.B. der „Gefällt mir“-Knopf auf Facebook oder Twitter. Dies sind interaktive Mini-Programme, die auf unserer Website laufen, um bestimmte Dienste von einem anderen Unternehmen zur Verfügung zu stellen (z.B.: Anzeige von Nachrichten, Meinungen, Musik, usw.). Persönliche Informationen, wie z.B. Ihre E-Mail-Adresse, können durch das Widget erfasst werden. Durch das Widget können auch Cookies gesetzt werden, damit sie ordnungsgemäß funktionieren. Von diesem Widget gesammelte Informationen unterliegen der Datenschutzrichtlinie des Unternehmens, die es erstellt hat.
- Mobile App:

Wenn Sie unsere mobile App herunterladen, werden wir zusätzlich zu den erwähnten Informationen:

automatisch Informationen über die Art des von Ihnen verwendeten Gerätes, Version des Betriebssystems und Systemdaten sowie Leistungsinformationen erfassen und Ihnen unter Umständen gelegentlich Push-Benachrichtigungen über mögliche von uns durchgeführte Veranstaltungen oder Aktionen senden. Wenn Sie diese Art von Mitteilungen nicht mehr erhalten möchten, können Sie sie auf Geräteebene deaktivieren. Um sicherzustellen, dass Sie korrekte Benachrichtigungen erhalten, müssen wir bestimmte Informationen über Ihr Gerät, wie z.B. Betriebssystem und Informationen zur Identifizierung der Nutzer sammeln;
Ihre ortsbezogenen Informationen erfassen, um Orte zu lokalisieren, die Sie vielleicht in Ihrer Nähe suchen. Wir werden diese Informationen unserem Mapping-Anbieter nur für den alleinigen Zweck der Bereitstellung dieses Dienstes an Sie weitergeben. Ihre Standortdaten können an Dritte weitergegeben werden, damit diese Ihnen ortsbezogene Werbung anzeigen können (wie z.B. Restaurants in Ihrer Nähe). Sie können sich von standortbezogenen Diensten jederzeit auf Ihrem Gerät abmelden, oder indem Sie uns ein E-Mail senden unter CustomerService@WorldRemit.com; und
unter Umständen mobile Analytics-Software verwenden, damit wir die Funktionalität unserer Mobile-Software auf Ihrem Handy besser verstehen. Diese Software kann Informationen aufzeichnen, z.B. wie oft Sie die mobile App nutzen, jene Vorgänge, die darauf erfolgen, aggregierte Nutzung, Leistungsdaten und wo die mobile App heruntergeladen wurde. Wir verknüpfen die von uns innerhalb der Analytics-Software gespeicherten Informationen nicht mit personenbezogenen Daten, die Sie über die mobile App übermitteln.
