We use the open-source software Matomo by InnoCraft Ltd from New Zealand on our website to analyze user behavior during visits to our site and to optimize our site and its content accordingly. We do not receive any information that directly identifies you.
In the version of Matomo that we use, precautions are taken using DoNotTrack technology (see www.donottrack.us), meaning that your website visit will not be recorded if you have indicated in your internet browser settings that you do not wish to be tracked.
In connection with the use of Matomo, cookies are employed that allow for a statistical analysis of the use of this website through your visits. The cookie stores information—including personal information—about your visitor behavior and processes it in a usage profile for analysis purposes using a pseudonym. Since Matomo is hosted on our own server, no processing by third parties is required for the analysis.
The data obtained in this way will not be used to personally identify you without your separate consent, and the data will not be merged with personal data about you as the holder of the pseudonym.
If IP addresses are collected, they will be anonymized immediately after collection by deleting the last block of numbers.
The data processing of the data obtained through cookies and other web analysis/tracking methods is based on our legitimate interest in optimizing our online offerings and our website presence, e.g., in the form of adaptation to frequently used devices and browsers, and more publications on particularly popular topics (Art. 6 Abs. 1 S. 1 lit. f GDPR). The processing takes place within the scope of the GDPR (EU/EEA). There is no transfer to third countries.
The type and extent of the processed data and storage duration can be found in the list of cookies we set.
You have the right to:
Information about your right to object under Article 21 of the GDPR
You have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning you, which is based on Article 6(1)(e) of the GDPR (processing in the public interest) and Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR (processing based on legitimate interests); this also applies to profiling based on this provision as per Article 4(4) of the GDPR.
If you object, we will no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.
If your objection is directed against the processing of data for direct marketing purposes, we will cease processing immediately. In this case, it is not necessary to specify a particular situation. This also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to such direct marketing.
If you wish to exercise your right to object, it is sufficient to send an email to datenschutzkoordination@zv.fraunhofer.de.
All your personal data are transmitted in encrypted format, using the widely used and secure TLS (Transport Layer Security) standard. TLS is a secure and proven standard that is also used, for instance, in online banking. You will recognize a secure TLS connection by the additional s after http (i.e., https://...) in the address bar of your browser or by the lock icon in the bottom part of your browser window.
In all other regards, we use suitable technical and organizational security measures to protect your data against accidental or intentional manipulations, partial or complete loss, destruction, or the unauthorized access of third parties. We continuously improve our security measures in accordance with the state of the art.
The further development of our website and the products and services offered or changed due to statutory or regulatory requirements, respectively, may make it necessary to amend this data protection information. You may access and print out the latest data protection information at any time from our website.
