Storage period for personal data
Your data is only stored as long as it is necessary to complete relevant tasks whilst observing legal retention requirements.
B. Rights of the data subject
General regulations
Pursuant to article 15 of the GDPR, you, the data subject, are entitled to the following rights concerning the processing of your data:
- You can ask for information about whether data concerning you is being processed. If this is the case, you are entitled to information about which data is processed and other information relating to the processing (article 15 of the GDPR). Please note that this right to information can be restricted or excluded in certain cases (see in particular article 10 of the BayDSG).
- If the personal data concerning you is/has become inaccurate or incomplete, you can request that this data is rectified and/or completed (article 16 of the GDPR).
- If the legal requirements are met, you can request that your personal data be deleted (article 17 of the GDPR) or processing of your data be restricted (article 18 of the GDPR). The right to deletion pursuant to article 17 (1) and (2) of the GDPR does not apply, however, if the processing of personal data is vital for the performance of a task that is in the public interest or is performed in the exercise of official authority (article 17 (3) point b) of the GDPR).
- If you have consented to data processing or there is a contract concerning data processing and data is processed automatically, you may be entitled to data portability (article 20 of the GDPR).
- If there is an international transfer of personal data without the basis of an adequacy decision of the EU Commission, you have the right to obtain a copy of the contractual safeguards from us upon request.
- You are entitled to file a complaint concerning the processing of your personal data with a supervisory authority as defined in article 51 of the GDPR. The pertinent supervisory authority for the Bavarian public service is the Bavarian Data Protection Commissioner, Wagmüllerstraße 18, 80538 München. In addition to the right of appeal, you can also seek a judicial remedy.
Right of revocation
Insofar as processing is based on consent, you have the right to revoke your consent at any time. The revocation is only effective for the future; this means that the revocation does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until the revocation.
Right to object
You may object to the processing of your personal data at any time due to reasons based on your personal circumstances (pursuant to article 21 of the GDPR). If the legal requirements are met, we will then not further process your personal data.
C. Information about the website
Technical implementation
Our web server is operated by ALL-INKL.COM - Neue Medien Münnich. The personal data transmitted by you when you visit our website is therefore processed by

Creation of log files
By using this or other web pages, you transmit data to our web server through your internet browser. The following data is recorded during any open connection for communication between your internet browser and our web server:
- IP address of the requesting computer
- Date and time of access
- Name and URL of the accessed file and data volume transmitted
- Access status (file transmitted, not found etc.)
- Identifying data of browser and operating system used (if transmitted by the browser accessing the site)
- The website from which our website is accessed (if transmitted by the browser accessing the site)
The data in this log file is processed as follows:
- Log entries are continually and automatically analysed, with the purpose of recognising attacks on the server and being able to react accordingly.
- In some instances, for example if an error or security breach is reported, a manual analysis is performed.
- Log entries that are older than seven days are anonymised by shortening the IP address.
- The anonymised logs are used for creating statistics on site access. The software used for this is operated locally by the LRZ.
The IP addresses contained in the log files are not combined with other data, so that the LRZ cannot draw conclusions about individual users.
This data is deleted once the connection is ended.
SSL encryption
We use state-of-the-art encryption processes (such as SSL) using HTTPS to protect your data while it is being transferred.
Active Components
We use active components such as JavaScript, Java-Applets or Active-X-Controls. You can adjust your browser settings to disable this function.
Cookies
When you access this website, we store cookies (small files) on your device that are valid for the duration of your visit to our website (session cookies). These are only used while you are accessing our website. Most web browsers are set up to allow the use of cookies. You can deactivate this function using your browser settings, either for the current session or permanently. Your browser will delete these cookies automatically when you leave the site.
D. Information on specific instances of data processing
Newsletters
You can subscribe to our newsletter. To subscribe it is generally sufficient to enter your email address. We may, however, ask you to give your name, so that we can address you personally in the newsletter, or to give other information that is necessary for the purposes of the newsletter. Your email address is stored for the purpose of sending the newsletter and processed only for the purpose of sending the newsletter. The newsletter is sent based on your consent.
Your address and your order are sent to the distribution company, Matoma GmbH, Achauerstraße 8, 78647 Trossingen for the purpose of processing your order. More information on matoma GmbH is available here:
- Website: https://www.matoma.de/en/
- Data Protection Policy: https://www.matoma.de/en/privacy-policy/
Double-opt-in procedure: Subscription to our newsletter always uses a so-called double-opt-in procedure: This means that you receive an email upon registration; this message asks you to confirm your registration. This confirmation is necessary to prevent people from registering with other people's email addresses. Registrations for the newsletter are logged so that the registration process can be documented in accordance with legal requirements. This includes storing the time of registration and time of confirmation as well as the IP address. Changes to the data stored with the distributor are also logged.
Possibility to object (opt out): You may cancel your subscription to our newsletter, i.e. revoke your consent or object to further receipt, at any time. A link for cancelling the subscription is provided at the end of each newsletter, or you can use any of the above-mentioned ways to contact us, preferably email.
Events
For our events, we process the data necessary for registration and organisation in accordance with article 6 (1) point e) of the GDPR. Data is deleted in accordance with legal retention periods, i.e. after six years for business letters and after ten years for invoices, unless the data of the participants is required beyond these periods to be able to issue copies or confirmations.
E. Amendments to our data protection declaration
We reserve the right to change our data protection declaration, to accommodate changes to legislation or changes in the services we provide, (e.g., if we introduce new services). The new data protection policy will then apply to your future visit to our website.
