3. General infor­ma­tion and manda­tory information

Data protec­tion

The opera­tors of this website and its pages take the protec­tion of your personal data very seriously. Hence, we handle your personal data as confi­den­tial infor­ma­tion and in compli­ance with the statu­tory data protec­tion regula­tions and this Data Protec­tion Declaration.

Whenever you use this website, a variety of personal infor­ma­tion will be collected. Personal data comprises data that can be used to person­ally identify you. This Data Protec­tion Decla­ra­tion explains which data we collect as well as the purposes we use this data for. It also explains how, and for which purpose the infor­ma­tion is collected.

We herewith advise you that the trans­mis­sion of data via the Inter­net (i.e., through e‑mail commu­ni­ca­tions) may be prone to security gaps. It is not possi­ble to completely protect data against third-party access.

 

Infor­ma­tion about the respon­si­ble party (referred to as the “controller” in the GDPR)

The data process­ing controller on this website is:

Hector Fellow Academy gGmbH
Schloss­platz 19
76131 Karlsruhe
Germany

Phone: +49 (0)721 608–47880
E‑mail: sekretariat@idschools.kit.edu

The controller is the natural person or legal entity that single-handedly or jointly with others makes decisions as to the purposes of and resources for the process­ing of personal data (e.g., names, e‑mail addresses, etc.).

 

Storage duration

Unless a more specific storage period has been speci­fied in this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for which it was collected no longer applies. If you assert a justi­fied request for deletion or revoke your consent to data process­ing, your data will be deleted, unless we have other legally permis­si­ble reasons for storing your personal data (e.g., tax or commer­cial law reten­tion periods); in the latter case, the deletion will take place after these reasons cease to apply.

 

General infor­ma­tion on the legal basis for the data process­ing on this website

If you have consented to data process­ing, we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9 (2)(a) GDPR, if special categories of data are processed accord­ing to Art. 9 (1) DSGVO. In the case of explicit consent to the trans­fer of personal data to third countries, the data process­ing is also based on Art. 49 (1)(a) GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or to the access to infor­ma­tion in your end device (e.g., via device finger­print­ing), the data process­ing is addition­ally based on § 25 (1) TTDSG. The consent can be revoked at any time. If your data is required for the fulfill­ment of a contract or for the imple­men­ta­tion of pre-contrac­tual measures, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. Further­more, if your data is required for the fulfill­ment of a legal oblig­a­tion, we process it on the basis of Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR. Further­more, the data process­ing may be carried out on the basis of our legit­i­mate inter­est accord­ing to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Infor­ma­tion on the relevant legal basis in each individ­ual case is provided in the follow­ing paragraphs of this privacy policy.

 

Desig­na­tion of a data protec­tion officer

We have appointed a data protec­tion officer.

Herr Thorsten Jordan
ENSECUR GmbH

Phone: +49 (0)721/180 356 7
E‑mail: dsb-ID-KIT@ensecur.de

 

Infor­ma­tion on data trans­fer to the USA and other non-EU countries

Among other things, we use tools of compa­nies domiciled in the United States or other from a data protec­tion perspec­tive non-secure non-EU countries. If these tools are active, your personal data may poten­tially be trans­ferred to these non-EU countries and may be processed there. We must point out that in these countries, a data protec­tion level that is compa­ra­ble to that in the EU cannot be guaran­teed. For instance, U.S. enter­prises are under a mandate to release personal data to the security agencies and you as the data subject do not have any litiga­tion options to defend yourself in court. Hence, it cannot be ruled out that U.S. agencies (e.g., the Secret Service) may process, analyze, and perma­nently archive your personal data for surveil­lance purposes. We have no control over these process­ing activities.

 

Revoca­tion of your consent to the process­ing of data

A wide range of data process­ing trans­ac­tions are possi­ble only subject to your express consent. You can also revoke at any time any consent you have already given us. This shall be without preju­dice to the lawful­ness of any data collec­tion that occurred prior to your revocation.

 

Right to object to the collec­tion of data in special cases; right to object to direct adver­tis­ing (Art. 21 GDPR)

IN THE EVENT THAT DATA ARE PROCESSED ON THE BASIS OF ART. 6(1)(E) OR (F) GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO AT ANY TIME OBJECT TO THE PROCESS­ING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA BASED ON GROUNDS ARISING FROM YOUR UNIQUE SITUA­TION. THIS ALSO APPLIES TO ANY PROFIL­ING BASED ON THESE PROVI­SIONS. TO DETER­MINE THE LEGAL BASIS, ON WHICH ANY PROCESS­ING OF DATA IS BASED, PLEASE CONSULT THIS DATA PROTEC­TION DECLA­RA­TION. IF YOU LOG AN OBJEC­TION, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR AFFECTED PERSONAL DATA, UNLESS WE ARE IN A POSITION TO PRESENT COMPELLING PROTEC­TION WORTHY GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESS­ING OF YOUR DATA, THAT OUTWEIGH YOUR INTER­ESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS OR IF THE PURPOSE OF THE PROCESS­ING IS THE CLAIM­ING, EXERCIS­ING OR DEFENCE OF LEGAL ENTITLE­MENTS (OBJEC­TION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(1) GDPR).

IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS BEING PROCESSED IN ORDER TO ENGAGE IN DIRECT ADVER­TIS­ING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESS­ING OF YOUR AFFECTED PERSONAL DATA FOR THE PURPOSES OF SUCH ADVER­TIS­ING AT ANY TIME. THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFIL­ING TO THE EXTENT THAT IT IS AFFIL­I­ATED WITH SUCH DIRECT ADVER­TIS­ING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL SUBSE­QUENTLY NO LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT ADVER­TIS­ING PURPOSES (OBJEC­TION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(2) GDPR).

 

Right to log a complaint with the compe­tent super­vi­sory agency

In the event of viola­tions of the GDPR, data subjects are entitled to log a complaint with a super­vi­sory agency, in partic­u­lar in the member state where they usually maintain their domicile, place of work or at the place where the alleged viola­tion occurred. The right to log a complaint is in effect regard­less of any other admin­is­tra­tive or court proceed­ings avail­able as legal recourses.

 

Right to data portability

You have the right to demand that we hand over any data we automat­i­cally process on the basis of your consent or in order to fulfil a contract be handed over to you or a third party in a commonly used, machine readable format. If you should demand the direct trans­fer of the data to another controller, this will be done only if it is techni­cally feasible.

 

Infor­ma­tion about, recti­fi­ca­tion and eradi­ca­tion of data

Within the scope of the applic­a­ble statu­tory provi­sions, you have the right to at any time demand infor­ma­tion about your archived personal data, their source and recip­i­ents as well as the purpose of the process­ing of your data. You may also have a right to have your data recti­fied or eradi­cated. If you have questions about this subject matter or any other questions about personal data, please do not hesitate to contact us at any time.

 

Right to demand process­ing restrictions

You have the right to demand the imposi­tion of restric­tions as far as the process­ing of your personal data is concerned. To do so, you may contact us at any time. The right to demand restric­tion of process­ing applies in the follow­ing cases:

• In the event that you should dispute the correct­ness of your data archived by us, we will usually need some time to verify this claim. During the time that this inves­ti­ga­tion is ongoing, you have the right to demand that we restrict the process­ing of your personal data.
• If the process­ing of your personal data was/is conducted in an unlaw­ful manner, you have the option to demand the restric­tion of the process­ing of your data in lieu of demand­ing the eradi­ca­tion of this data.
• If we do not need your personal data any longer and you need it to exercise, defend or claim legal entitle­ments, you have the right to demand the restric­tion of the process­ing of your personal data instead of its eradication.
• If you have raised an objec­tion pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, your rights and our rights will have to be weighed against each other. As long as it has not been deter­mined whose inter­ests prevail, you have the right to demand a restric­tion of the process­ing of your personal data.

If you have restricted the process­ing of your personal data, these data – with the excep­tion of their archiv­ing – may be processed only subject to your consent or to claim, exercise or defend legal entitle­ments or to protect the rights of other natural persons or legal entities or for impor­tant public inter­est reasons cited by the European Union or a member state of the EU.

 

SSL and/or TLS encryption

For security reasons and to protect the trans­mis­sion of confi­den­tial content, such as purchase orders or inquiries you submit to us as the website opera­tor, this website uses either an SSL or a TLS encryp­tion program. You can recog­nize an encrypted connec­tion by check­ing whether the address line of the browser switches from “http://” to “https://” and also by the appear­ance of the lock icon in the browser line.

If the SSL or TLS encryp­tion is activated, data you trans­mit to us cannot be read by third parties.

 

4. Record­ing of data on this website

Cookies

Our websites and pages use what the indus­try refers to as “cookies.” Cookies are small data packages that do not cause any damage to your device. They are either stored temporar­ily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or they are perma­nently archived on your device (perma­nent cookies). Session cookies are automat­i­cally deleted once you termi­nate your visit. Perma­nent cookies remain archived on your device until you actively delete them, or they are automat­i­cally eradi­cated by your web browser.

In some cases, it is possi­ble that third-party cookies are stored on your device once you enter our site (third-party cookies). These cookies enable you or us to take advan­tage of certain services offered by the third party (e.g., cookies for the process­ing of payment services).

Cookies have a variety of functions. Many cookies are techni­cally essen­tial since certain website functions would not work in the absence of the cookies (e.g., the shopping cart function or the display of videos). The purpose of other cookies may be the analy­sis of user patterns or the display of promo­tional messages.

Cookies, which are required for the perfor­mance of electronic commu­ni­ca­tion trans­ac­tions, or for the provi­sion of certain functions you want to use (e.g., for the shopping cart function) or those that are neces­sary for the optimiza­tion (required cookies) of the website (e.g., cookies that provide measur­able insights into the web audience), shall be stored on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, unless a differ­ent legal basis is cited. The opera­tor of the website has a legit­i­mate inter­est in the storage of required cookies to ensure the techni­cally error free and optimized provi­sion of the operator’s services. If your consent to the storage of the cookies and similar recog­ni­tion technolo­gies has been requested, process­ing occurs exclu­sively on the basis of the consent obtained (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25 (1) TTDSG); this consent may be revoked at any time.

You have the option to set up your browser in such a manner that you will be notified any time cookies are placed and to permit the accep­tance of cookies only in specific cases. You may also exclude the accep­tance of cookies in certain cases or in general or activate the delete function for the automatic eradi­ca­tion of cookies when the browser closes. If cookies are deacti­vated, the functions of this website may be limited.

In the event that third-party cookies are used or if cookies are used for analyt­i­cal purposes, we will separately notify you in conjunc­tion with this Data Protec­tion Policy and, if applic­a­ble, ask for your consent.

 

Consent with Usercentrics

This website uses the consent technol­ogy of Usercentrics to obtain your consent to the storage of certain cookies on your device or for the use of specific technolo­gies, and to document the former in a data protec­tion compli­ant manner. The party offer­ing this technol­ogy is Usercentrics GmbH, Sendlinger Straße 7, 80331 München, Germany, website: https://usercentrics.com/ (hereinafter referred to as “Usercentrics”).

Whenever you visit our website, the follow­ing personal data will be trans­ferred to Usercentrics:

• Your declaration(s) of consent or your revoca­tion of your declaration(s) of consent
• Your IP address
• Infor­ma­tion about your browser

• The date and time you visited our website

Moreover, Usercentrics shall store a cookie in your browser to be able to allocate your declaration(s) of consent or any revoca­tions of the former. The data that are recorded in this manner shall be stored until you ask us to eradi­cate them, delete the Usercentrics cookie or until the purpose for archiv­ing the data no longer exists. This shall be without preju­dice to any manda­tory legal reten­tion periods.

Usercentrics uses cookies to obtain the decla­ra­tions of consent mandated by law. The legal basis for the use of specific technolo­gies is Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR.

Data process­ing

We have concluded a data process­ing agree­ment (DPA) with the above-mentioned provider. This is a contract mandated by data privacy laws that guaran­tees that they process personal data of our website visitors only based on our instruc­tions and in compli­ance with the GDPR.

 

Server log files

The provider of this website and its pages automat­i­cally collects and stores infor­ma­tion in so-called server log files, which your browser commu­ni­cates to us automat­i­cally. The infor­ma­tion comprises:

• The type and version of browser used
• The used operat­ing system
• Refer­rer URL
• The hostname of the access­ing computer
• The time of the server inquiry
• The IP address

This data is not merged with other data sources.

This data is recorded on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The opera­tor of the website has a legit­i­mate inter­est in the techni­cally error free depic­tion and the optimiza­tion of the operator’s website. In order to achieve this, server log files must be recorded.

 

Contact form

If you submit inquiries to us via our contact form, the infor­ma­tion provided in the contact form as well as any contact infor­ma­tion provided therein will be stored by us in order to handle your inquiry and in the event that we have further questions. We will not share this infor­ma­tion without your consent.

The process­ing of these data is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, if your request is related to the execu­tion of a contract or if it is neces­sary to carry out pre-contrac­tual measures. In all other cases the process­ing is based on our legit­i­mate inter­est in the effec­tive process­ing of the requests addressed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your agree­ment (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) if this has been requested; the consent can be revoked at any time.

The infor­ma­tion you have entered into the contact form shall remain with us until you ask us to eradi­cate the data, revoke your consent to the archiv­ing of data or if the purpose for which the infor­ma­tion is being archived no longer exists (e.g., after we have concluded our response to your inquiry). This shall be without preju­dice to any manda­tory legal provi­sions, in partic­u­lar reten­tion periods.

 

Request by e‑mail, telephone, or fax

If you contact us by e‑mail, telephone or fax, your request, includ­ing all result­ing personal data (name, request) will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of process­ing your request. We do not pass these data on without your consent.

These data are processed on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if your inquiry is related to the fulfill­ment of a contract or is required for the perfor­mance of pre-contrac­tual measures. In all other cases, the data are processed on the basis of our legit­i­mate inter­est in the effec­tive handling of inquiries submit­ted to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on the basis of your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) if it has been obtained; the consent can be revoked at any time.

The data sent by you to us via contact requests remain with us until you request us to delete, revoke your consent to the storage or the purpose for the data storage lapses (e.g. after comple­tion of your request). Manda­tory statu­tory provi­sions — in partic­u­lar statu­tory reten­tion periods — remain unaffected.

 

5. Analy­sis tools and advertising

Matomo

This website uses the open-source web analy­sis service Matomo.

Through Matomo, we are able to collect and analyze data on the use of our website-by-website visitors. This enables us to find out, for instance, when which page views occurred and from which region they came. In addition, we collect various log files (e.g. IP address, refer­rer, browser, and operat­ing system used) and can measure whether our website visitors perform certain actions (e.g. clicks, purchases, etc.).

The use of this analy­sis tool is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website opera­tor has a legit­i­mate inter­est in the analy­sis of user patterns, in order to optimize the operator’s web offer­ings and adver­tis­ing. If appro­pri­ate consent has been obtained, the process­ing is carried out exclu­sively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25 (1) TTDSG, insofar the consent includes the storage of cookies or the access to infor­ma­tion in the user’s end device (e.g., device finger­print­ing) within the meaning of the TTDSG. This consent can be revoked at any time.

IP anonymiza­tion

For analy­sis with Matomo we use IP anonymiza­tion. Your IP address is short­ened before the analy­sis, so that it is no longer clearly assign­a­ble to you.

Analy­sis without cookies

We have config­ured Matomo in such a way that Matomo will not store cookies in your browser.

Hosting

We host Matomo exclu­sively on our own servers so that all analy­sis data remains with us and is not passed on.

Opt-Out

Opt-out complete; your visits to this website will not be recorded by the Web Analyt­ics tool. Note that if you clear your cookies, delete the opt-out cookie, or if you change comput­ers or Web browsers, you will need to perform the opt-out proce­dure again.

You may choose to prevent this website from aggre­gat­ing and analyz­ing the actions you take here. Doing so will protect your privacy, but will also prevent the owner from learn­ing from your actions and creat­ing a better experi­ence for you and other users.

You are not opted out. Uncheck this box to opt-out. You are currently opted out. Check this box to opt-in.

The track­ing opt-out feature requires cookies to be enabled.

 

6. Newslet­ter

Newslet­ter data

If you would like to receive the newslet­ter offered on the website, we require an e‑mail address from you as well as infor­ma­tion that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the e‑mail address provided and that you agree to receive the newslet­ter. Further data is not collected or only on a volun­tary basis. For the handling of the newslet­ter, we use newslet­ter service providers, which are described below.

 

Clever­Reach

This website uses Clever­Reach for the sending of newslet­ters. The provider is the Clever­Reach GmbH & Co. KG, Schafjück­en­weg 2, 26180 Rastede, Germany (hereinafter “Clever­Reach”). Clever­Reach is a service that can be used to organize and analyze the sending of newslet­ters. The data you have entered for the purpose of subscrib­ing to our newslet­ter (e.g., e‑mail address) are stored on servers of Clever­Reach in Germany or in Ireland.

Newslet­ters we send out via Clever­Reach allow us to analyze the user patterns of our newslet­ter recip­i­ents. Among other things, in conjunc­tion with this, it is possi­ble how many recip­i­ents actually opened the newslet­ter e‑mail and how often which link inside the newslet­ter has been clicked. With the assis­tance of a tool called Conver­sion Track­ing, we can also deter­mine whether an action that has been prede­fined in the newslet­ter actually occurred after the link was clicked (e.g., purchase of a product on this website). For more infor­ma­tion on the data analy­sis services by Clever­Reach newslet­ters, please go to: https://www.cleverreach.com/en/features/reporting-tracking/.

The data is processed based on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You may revoke any consent you have given at any time by unsub­scrib­ing from the newslet­ter. This shall be without preju­dice to the lawful­ness of any data process­ing trans­ac­tions that have taken place prior to your revocation.

If you do not want to permit an analy­sis by Clever­Reach, you must unsub­scribe from the newslet­ter. We provide a link for you to do this in every newslet­ter message.

The data deposited with us for the purpose of subscrib­ing to the newslet­ter will be stored by us until you unsub­scribe from the newslet­ter or the newslet­ter service provider and deleted from the newslet­ter distri­b­u­tion list after you unsub­scribe from the newslet­ter. Data stored for other purposes with us remain unaffected.

After you unsub­scribe from the newslet­ter distri­b­u­tion list, your e‑mail address may be stored by us or the newslet­ter service provider in a black­list, if such action is neces­sary to prevent future mailings. The data from the black­list is used only for this purpose and not merged with other data. This serves both your inter­est and our inter­est in comply­ing with the legal require­ments when sending newslet­ters (legit­i­mate inter­est within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). The storage in the black­list is indef­i­nite. You may object to the storage if your inter­ests outweigh our legit­i­mate interest.

For more details, please consult the Data Protec­tion Provi­sions of Clever­Reach at: https://www.cleverreach.com/en/privacy-policy/.

Data process­ing

We have concluded a data process­ing agree­ment (DPA) with the above-mentioned provider. This is a contract mandated by data privacy laws that guaran­tees that they process personal data of our website visitors only based on our instruc­tions and in compli­ance with the GDPR.

 

7. Plug-ins and Tools

YouTube with expanded data protec­tion integration

Our website embeds videos of the website YouTube. The website opera­tor is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

We use YouTube in the expanded data protec­tion mode. Accord­ing to YouTube, this mode ensures that YouTube does not store any infor­ma­tion about visitors to this website before they watch the video. Never­the­less, this does not neces­sar­ily mean that the sharing of data with YouTube partners can be ruled out as a result of the expanded data protec­tion mode. For instance, regard­less of whether you are watch­ing a video, YouTube will always estab­lish a connec­tion with the Google DoubleClick network.

As soon as you start to play a YouTube video on this website, a connec­tion to YouTube’s servers will be estab­lished. As a result, the YouTube server will be notified, which of our pages you have visited. If you are logged into your YouTube account while you visit our site, you enable YouTube to directly allocate your brows­ing patterns to your personal profile. You have the option to prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.

Further­more, after you have started to play a video, YouTube will be able to place various cookies on your device or compa­ra­ble technolo­gies for recog­ni­tion (e.g. device finger­print­ing). In this way YouTube will be able to obtain infor­ma­tion about this website’s visitors. Among other things, this infor­ma­tion will be used to gener­ate video statis­tics with the aim of improv­ing the user friend­li­ness of the site and to prevent attempts to commit fraud.

Under certain circum­stances, additional data process­ing trans­ac­tions may be triggered after you have started to play a YouTube video, which are beyond our control.

The use of YouTube is based on our inter­est in present­ing our online content in an appeal­ing manner. Pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, this is a legit­i­mate inter­est. If appro­pri­ate consent has been obtained, the process­ing is carried out exclu­sively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25 (1) TTDSG, insofar the consent includes the storage of cookies or the access to infor­ma­tion in the user’s end device (e.g., device finger­print­ing) within the meaning of the TTDSG. This consent can be revoked at any time.

For more infor­ma­tion on how YouTube handles user data, please consult the YouTube Data Privacy Policy under: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en.

 

Google Fonts (local embedding)

This website uses so-called Google Fonts provided by Google to ensure the uniform use of fonts on this site. These Google fonts are locally installed so that a connec­tion to Google’s servers will not be estab­lished in conjunc­tion with this application.

For more infor­ma­tion on Google Fonts, please follow this link: https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and consult Google’s Data Privacy Decla­ra­tion under: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en.
