AdWords is an online ad program. In the context of this online ad program, we work with conversion tracking. After a click on an ad shown by Google, a so called "Google Click ID" is being forwarded to InStaff and (when a client carries out the registration) assigned to this client. In case this client carries out the booking of staff within 90 days, InStaff will upload information about the amount in EUR of this booking, the date of the booking and the "Google Click ID" into our Adwords account. Thus, InStaff is able to analyze which ad campaigns are successful. At no point in time, other information about the client and / or personal data is being transferred to Google.

The storage and matching of the "Google Click ID" occurs according to Art. 6 pas. 1f EU-GDPR. We have a legitimate interest in the analysis of the success of our web ads.
