This gives the respective provider the information that your browser has accessed the corresponding page on testmo.com. This happens regardless of whether you have a user account with the provider and whether you are currently logged in there. In log files, information is transmitted from your browser to a server of the respective provider and stored there if necessary. This also includes the IP address. Testmo has no full knowledge of the type and scope of the data collection and its use and processing by the provider and cannot influence such processes. If you activate a link to a provider, the respective provider receives the information that you have activated their link on testmo.com or the corresponding sub-page of testmo.com. In addition, the information specified in Section 2 of this Policy may be transmitted to the provider.
