Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person ("data subject"), such as your name, address, telephone number, date of birth, bank details and IP address.

As a matter of principle, we collect and use personal data of our users only to the extent that this is necessary for the provision of a functional website as well as our content and services. The collection and use of personal data of our users is regularly only carried out with the consent of the user. An exception applies in those cases in which it is not possible to obtain prior consent for factual reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by legal regulations.

 

Usage data

 

When using our web pages, the following data is logged, whereby the storage serves exclusively internal system-related and statistical purposes, so-called usage data:

  1. Page name
  2. Actions
  3. Duration of visit
  4. Date and time of the first and last visit
  5. IP address of the user (last 2 digits are anonymized)

  7. Country of the user
  8. State of the user
  9. Browser language
  10. Browser type
  11. Operating system
  12. Device type
  13. Device model

This data is also stored in the log files of our system. Storage of this data together with other personal data of the user does not take place.

The legal basis for the temporary storage of the data and the log files is Art. 6 (1) lit. f DS-GVO.

The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to enable delivery of the website to the user's computer. For this purpose, the IP address of the user must remain stored for the duration of the session.

The storage in log files is done to ensure the functionality of the website. In addition, we use the data to optimize the website and to ensure the security of our information technology systems. An evaluation of the data for marketing purposes does not take place in this context.

These purposes are also our legitimate interest in data processing according to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f DS-GVO.

The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer required to achieve the purpose for which they were collected. In the case of the collection of data for the provision of the website, this is the case when the respective session has ended.

In the case of storage of data in log files, this is the case after seven days at the latest. Storage beyond this period is possible. In this case, the IP addresses of the users are deleted or alienated, so that an assignment of the calling client is no longer possible.

The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of the data in log files is absolutely necessary for the operation of the website. Consequently, there is no possibility for the user to object.

5. What security measures have we taken to protect your data?

 

We have taken a variety of security measures to protect personal information to the appropriate extent and adequately.

Our databases are protected by physical, technical, and procedural measures that limit access to information to specifically authorized individuals in accordance with this Privacy Policy. Our information system is located behind a software firewall to prevent access from other networks that connect to the Internet. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job are granted access to personally identifiable information. Our employees are trained in security and privacy practices.

We use standard SSL encryption technology when collecting and transmitting data through our websites. Personal data is transmitted via SSL encryption as part of the ordering process, which can be recognized by the lock symbol in the browser and the addition "https://" in the address bar.

In the case of communication by e-mail, complete data security cannot be guaranteed by us.

 

6. advertising approach by e-mail (e.g. e-mail newsletter)

 

On our website there is the possibility to subscribe to a free newsletter. When subscribing to the newsletter, the following data is transmitted to us from the input mask:

  1. Gender (for the personal form of address)
  2. Name
  3. e-mail address
  4. optional: name of the editorial office

In addition, the following data is collected during registration:

  1. IP address of the calling computer
  2. Date and time of registration

For the processing of the data, your consent is obtained during the registration process and reference is made to this privacy policy.

No data will be passed on to third parties in connection with the processing of data for the dispatch of newsletters. The data is used exclusively for sending the newsletter.

The legal basis for the processing of the data after registration for the newsletter by the user is, if the user has given his consent, Art. 6 (1) lit. a DS-GVO.

The collection of the user's e-mail address is used to deliver the newsletter.

The collection of other personal data during the registration process serves to prevent misuse of the services or the e-mail address used.

The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. Accordingly, the user's e-mail address is stored as long as the subscription to the newsletter is active.

The subscription to the newsletter can be cancelled by the user concerned at any time. For this purpose, a corresponding link can be found in each newsletter. Alternatively, you can also unsubscribe via the registration form by entering your data there in the same way as during registration, but then clicking on "Unsubscribe" and confirming the entry.

This also enables you to revoke your consent to the storage of the personal data collected during the registration process.

 

 

7. newsletter tracking

 

In our e-mail messages we use a so-called newsletter tracking.

This results in an evaluation of the opening rate of the e-mails and a click evaluation within the newsletter.

We use this technology to determine the degree of interest in certain topics and to measure the effectiveness of our communication measures. This is also our legitimate interest according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DS-GVO.

This data is stored segmented and anonymized. We do not share this data with anyone and we do not make any attempt to associate the "click-throughs" with individual email addresses.

The individual user data is deleted after the anonymized overall evaluation has been created - after 3 months at the latest.

 

 

8. a cookie is placed on your computer when you use our websites. What does this mean?

 

We use so-called cookies on our websites. Cookies are small amounts of data in the form of text information that the web server sends to your browser. These are only stored on your hard drive. Cookies can only be read by the server that previously stored them, and they contain information about what you have viewed on a website and when. Cookies themselves only identify the IP address of your computer and do not store any personal information, such as your name. The information stored in cookies is not linked to your personal information (name, address, etc.).

We use cookies to make our website more user-friendly. We use a cookie that is set by a user interaction. This is set as soon as the cookie policy consent - in the form of a message when the page is accessed - has been closed. After this cookie is set by a user interaction, the cookie expires automatically after 30 days and the request for consent appears again.

We also use cookies on our website that enable an analysis of the user's surfing behavior.

These are 1st-party cookies that are generated by our MATOMO. These "persistent" cookies are stored on the computer and only lose their validity when the expiration date assigned to them has expired. This allows us to recognize whether a visitor has already been to our site and what content this person is (has been) interested in. "rauch-analytics.infomantis.de".

The data is collected anonymously; we cannot draw any conclusions about the identity of the person.

You can decide here if a unique web analytics cookie may be placed in your browser to allow the website operator to collect and analyze various statistical data. If you wish to opt out, click the link provided in section 9b of this statement to place the MATOMO opt-out cookie in your browser.

The user data collected in this way is pseudonymized by technical precautions. Therefore, an assignment of the data to the calling user is no longer possible. The data is not stored together with other personal data of the users.

You can decide for yourself whether to allow cookies. On the one hand, by changing your browser settings (mostly found under "Option" or "Settings" in the menus of the browsers) you have the choice to accept all cookies, to be informed when a cookie is set or to reject all cookies. On the other hand, you can freely decide via the banner, which is displayed when you first call up our web pages and refers to this data protection declaration, whether you want to give us your consent for the setting of cookies or reject this.

By giving your consent via the banner, you agree that we may set cookies on your terminal device and process them for the purposes stated in this data protection declaration. You may revoke your consent at any time by contacting us at the address given in 1. above.The legality of the data processing carried out on the basis of the consent until the revocation remains unaffected.

The legal basis for the processing of personal data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DS-GVO.

The analysis cookies are used for the purpose of improving the quality of our website and its content. Through the analysis cookies, we learn how the website is used and can thus constantly optimize our offer.

In these purposes also lies our legitimate interest in the processing of personal data according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DS-GVO.

Cookies are stored on the user's computer and transmitted from it to our site. Therefore, you as a user also have full control over the use of cookies. By changing the settings in your internet browser, you can disable or restrict the transmission of cookies. Cookies that have already been stored can be deleted at any time.

9. use of services for marketing and analysis purposes

 

We use the analysis tool Matomo. What does this mean for your data?

On our websites, we use the open source web analysis software Matomo. Matomo also uses "cookies" (cf. 8. above), text files that are stored on your computer and enable an analysis of your use of the website.

We will use this information to evaluate your use of the website and to compile reports on website activity.

From this data, usage profiles can be created under a pseudonym, which allow your internet browser to be recognized. The data will not be used to identify you personally as a user of our websites and will not be merged with personal data about you as the bearer of the pseudonym.

We would also like to point out that our websites use Matomo with the anonymizeIP extension and therefore IP addresses are only processed in abbreviated form in order to exclude any personal reference.

This will place a so-called opt-out cookie on your device, which prevents the future collection of your data by Matomo when visiting this website.
