Google Ads Enhanced Conversions

We use the "Enhanced Conversions" feature of Google Ads.

This serves to more accurately attribute conversions to ad clicks. Google cannot read the hashed data in plain text.

The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR (consent). Data is only transmitted if you have given your consent to the "Marketing" category via Cookiebot.

We use the "Customer Match" feature of Google Ads to show you more relevant advertising and to exclude existing customers from new customer acquisition campaigns. Contact data (e.g. email addresses) from our CRM system (HubSpot) is transmitted to Google in hashed (encrypted) form. Google matches this hashed data with existing Google accounts to create audiences for our advertising campaigns. Google cannot read the hashed data in plain text and does not share it with third parties.

The uploaded data is used exclusively for customer matching and is deleted after a maximum of 540 days, unless the list is updated beforehand. Google does not create user profiles based on this data.

The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in efficient use of advertising resources and avoidance of wastage). You can object to the use of your data for customer matching at any time by contacting us at datenschutz@jakobsmedien.com. Additionally, you can disable personalised advertising in your Google Ads settings.
