Data protection declaration

As per 19/07/2024

We take the protection of your data seriously and inform you on request what data we collect and how we use it. In addition, we have taken technical and organisational measures to ensure that the regulations on data protection in accordance with the Basic Data Protection Regulation (DSGVO) in force from 25 May 2018 are observed.

Personal Information

The use of the services on the DBFZ website is generally possible without providing sensitive, i.e. personal data. If the entry of personal or business data (e-mail addresses, names, addresses, etc.) is required within the Internet offer, in particular for forms for participation in events, we would like to point out that this data is used exclusively for the processing of organisational processes within the framework of the event (e.g. participant lists, name tags, invoicing, etc.). Your data will be processed by us according to the European data protection regulations and the Federal Data Protection Act BDSG. This means that your data will not be passed on to third parties without your express consent. Other personal data entered via online forms will also be used exclusively for the stated purpose, e.g. to send specific newsletters or to respond to your request. You have the possibility to object to the storage of your data at any time. Please send an e-mail to our data protection officer.

Communication by e-mail or form

Please note that communication by e-mail or online form can have security gaps. E-mails can be stopped and read by Internet users with extended programming knowledge on their way to the employees of the DBFZ. If the DBFZ receives an e-mail from you (e.g. via a contact form), it is assumed that we are also entitled to reply by e-mail. In this context, we would like to point out that by submitting a form via the DBFZ website (including project pages), the following user-related data is transferred: Referer domain, referer URL, visitor's country, possibly use of mobile device, website language, browser language and page views that led to this mail (pagefunnel).

Website analysis using server log files and cookies

The DBFZ website uses AWStats web statistics. When you access our website, the access data are recorded in a log file (server log file) and stored for security reasons for at least three months and a maximum of six months in order to ensure the general functionality of the services and to be able to trace them in the event of attacks. The following data is stored for each access: IP address of the Internet service provider, time stamp, call method, URL called, protocol, server status response, scope of data transmitted to the inquirer, reference URL, browser specification (type/version), error messages, if applicable.

Personal user profiles are expressly not created; personal data will not be passed on to third parties for commercial or non-commercial purposes. The data from the log file is not merged with any other stored data that may result from the provision of personal data in the context of further offers on this website. When you visit our website, so-called “cookies” are stored on your computer. The information generated by the cookie is made completely anonymous and used exclusively to improve the internet presence and the server. Currently, the following session cookies are set via the domain www.dbfz.de, which are limited exclusively to editor accesses.

Example:

be_typo_user / d7b586d9cb81bc739a2f719a96e30b03 / www.dbfz.de / http Only / At end of session

Session cookies are small text files that a provider stores in the memory of the visitor's computer. The session cookie used is deleted when the session is ended, i.e. when you close the browser window or open another page. You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser.

Social Media (Flickr)

Individual pages (project pages) use a link to the online picture service Flickr. When you visit the corresponding page, a connection to Yahoo's servers is established and the Yahoo server is informed of which of our pages you have visited. If you are logged into your Yahoo account, you allow Yahoo to associate your surfing behavior directly with your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your Yahoo account. For more information, see Flickr's privacy policy: http://info.yahoo.com/privacy/de/yahoo/flickr/

YouTube video

We use videos from YouTube on the website. YouTube is a service provided by YouTube LLC ("YouTube"), 901 Cherry Ave, San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. YouTube LLC is a subsidiary of Google Ireland Limited ("Google"), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

When you visit our website, YouTube receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding subpage of our website. In addition, further information on the use of the website (e.g. date and time of access, IP address, etc.) may be transmitted to Google servers (possibly in a third country such as the USA) and stored there. This occurs regardless of whether YouTube provides a user account via which you are logged in or whether no user account exists.

When using YouTube, data is transferred to third countries. The transfer of data to the USA is permitted without further authorisation, as there is an adequacy decision by the EU Commission for the transfer of data to the USA in accordance with Art. 45 (3) GDPR, the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework. Google has certified itself in accordance with the Data Privacy Framework and is therefore committed to complying with European data protection principles. This also applies to all Google subsidiaries. Further information on the Data Privacy Framework can be found here.

According to its own information (see "Legal framework for data transfers"), the provider has also included standard data protection clauses to ensure an adequate level of data protection.

The data is not used by Google to personalise surfing on YouTube - neither in the embedded data protection mode nor when using YouTube at a later time, as we have embedded the videos in the so-called extended data protection mode. If ads are delivered in a video that is played in the extended data protection mode of the embedded player, these ads are also not personalised. In addition, the playback of a video in the extended data protection mode of the embedded player is not used to personalise advertisements that are displayed to you outside of our website.

We use YouTube videos to provide you with videos on various DBFZ topics. The permissibility of this processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 a) GDPR. Before starting the video, you will be asked to give your consent to activate the YouTube integration. If you do not give your consent, the YouTube services will not be activated and your data will not be transmitted to Google. Your consent is voluntar

If the processing of the data requires the storage of such information in your terminal equipment or access to information that is already stored in the terminal equipment, Section 25 (1) TDDDG is the legal basis for this.

The provision of the data is neither required by law nor necessary for the conclusion of a contract. If you do not provide the data, you will not be able to access the video directly from our website. Alternatively, you can watch the video directly on YouTube.

Further information on the purpose and scope of data collection and its processing by YouTube can be found in Google's privacy policy and terms of use.

Server

The server on which our website is hosted is located on the DBFZ. Your stored data is therefore located in Germany and is subject to European and national data protection law.

Imprint

The use of the contact data published within the scope of the imprint obligation by third parties for sending unsolicited advertising and information material is hereby expressly prohibited. The operators of these pages expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited advertising information being sent, for example in the form of spam mails.

Right to information

As a user of the Internet offer provided by the DBFZ, you have the right to obtain information about the type and scope of storage connected with your visit to the Internet site in accordance with §§ 19-20 Bundesdatenschutzgesetz (BDSG) and Art. 15 DSGVO at any time. The information is free of charge for you and is provided upon request within the scope of your interest in information. Please contact the data protection officer of datenschutz(at)dbfz(dot)de.

Video surveillance on the company premises

On the premises of the DBFZ a permanent video surveillance is used in the outdoor area also during the operating hours. Acoustic surveillance does not take place. The surveillance is indicated by clearly visible signs. 

Video surveillance takes place within the legal limits, in particular the EU General Data Protection Regulation (DSGVO). The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 f) DSGVO. The purpose of surveillance is to safeguard the legitimate interests of DBFZ, in particular the protection of domestic rights, the investigation of perpetrators, the prevention of burglaries, vandalism and other criminal offences.

The planned retention period is five days. A longer storage period shall only take place if the data is required to preserve evidence due to a concrete incident. The deletion takes place immediately as soon as the data is no longer necessary to achieve the purpose. An evaluation of the recordings by visual inspection only takes place for the specified purposes in the presence of a works council member and the data protection officer.

Your rights as data subject

You have the right to request information about which personal data about you are stored by us and for what purpose (Art. 15 DSGVO). In addition, you have the right to rectification or erasure and to restriction of processing (Art. 16, 17, 18 DSGVO). You have the right to object to the processing (Art. 21 DSGVO). In the event of a justified objection, we will cease processing your personal data. Finally, you have the right to data portability (Art. 20 DSGVO). In addition, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority about the processing of your personal data by us if you are of the opinion that the processing violates data protection provisions.
