ATTENTION: We would like to point out that data is also processed in India as part of this service and that processing in this regard cannot be ruled out. India is generally an unsafe third country in terms of data protection. VWO uses so-called standard contractual clauses as the basis for data processing in third countries.

With VWO, movements on the websites on which VWO is used can be tracked (so-called heat maps). For example, it is possible to recognise how far users scroll, which buttons are clicked how often and how much time users spend on which pages. VWO also makes it possible to use a survey tool to obtain feedback directly from website users. In addition, we use VWO to control tests (so-called A/B tests, split tests & multivariant tests) in order to understand the effects of adjustments to the user interface. We use VWO technology to better understand the needs of our users and to optimise the offer and experience on our website.

  • how far the user scrolls,
  • IP address of the device,
  • the screen size of a device,
  • Device type (unique device identifiers) and browser information,
  • Geographical location (country only) and
  • the preferred language in which our website is displayed.
  • VWO analyses the use of our website completely anonymously; all personal data is automatically hidden and not processed. Areas of the website in which personal data of users or third parties are displayed are automatically hidden by VWO and are therefore not traceable at any time. In order to exclude a direct personal reference, IP addresses are only stored and processed in anonymised form.

To this end, VWO works with cookies and other technologies to collect data about user behaviour and their end devices. VWO stores this information on our behalf in a pseudonymised user profile. VWO is contractually prohibited from selling the data collected on our behalf.
