Disclaimer: The english version of the privacy policy has been translated by ChatGPT 4o. We do not garuantee for the correctness of this translation.  Legally binding is the german version of this document.

PRINCIPLE

We (TEDx Innsbruck.eV) as the operator of this site take data protection very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with legal data protection regulations as well as this privacy policy.

Data Collection

We collect, process, and use personal data such as names, addresses, communication details, web addresses, bank details, and contact persons with communication details only to the extent necessary for the establishment, content arrangement, or amendment of the legal relationship (inventory data). Additionally, we create meeting minutes and evaluate usage statistics. We collect, process, and use personal data about the use of our website (usage data) only as necessary to enable the user to use the service or to bill them.

Data Transfer

We transfer personal data to third parties only when necessary for contract processing. Further transmission of the data does not occur, or it only occurs if you have expressly consented to the transmission. Your data will not be passed on to third parties for advertising purposes without your explicit consent.Accessing Our Offer

When you access our website, which is hosted on the Webflow platform (webflow.com), the site and the browser used on your device automatically send information to our servers and temporarily store it in a so-called log file. The following information is collected without your intervention and stored in the log file until automatic or manual deletion:

• The IP address of the accessing device,

• Date and time of access,

• Name and URL of the retrieved file,

• Website/App from which the access was made (Referrer-URL),

• The unique identifier of the browser used,

• Operating system and its interface,

• Language and version of the browser software,

• The name of your internet provider, if applicable.

The processing of the aforementioned data is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) DSGVO. Our legitimate interest follows from the purposes of data collection listed below. We cannot draw any conclusions about your identity from the collected data. The IP address of your device and the other data listed above are used by us for the following purposes:

• Ensuring a smooth connection setup,

• Ensuring comfortable use of our offer,

• Evaluating system security and stability, and

• Other administrative purposes.

The data is stored in accordance with legal retention periods and then automatically deleted. We also use cookies, tracking tools, targeting procedures, and interfaces to other services such as social media platforms, payment services, or CRM systems. Details on these procedures and how your data is used are explained in section 4 below.

In short, when you access our website, we automatically collect necessary data from you, which is then deleted after a certain time.

Data Processing for Payment Processing

If you decide to conclude a contract with us, we will process transaction data such as:

• Name,

• Address,

• Email address,

• Account number,

• Bank code,

• Credit card number,

• Invoice amount,

• Currency, and

• Transaction number

with the payment service provider you choose (PayPal or bank) for the purpose of contract fulfillment and especially for payment processing based on Article 6 para. 1 lit. b) DSGVO. The transmission is necessary as we cannot perform the contract otherwise. The data is used exclusively for the execution and realization of the payment process and is securely transmitted via the “SSL” encryption method. The service providers we offer are PCI DSS certified. They may transfer, process, and store personal data outside the EU. Please check your service provider’s privacy policies for more information.

In short, to process contracts, we may need to share your data with payment service providers.‍

Right to Object

You can object to the data processing for the aforementioned purposes at any time, free of charge, for the respective communication channel separately and with effect for the future. An email or postal letter to the contact details mentioned under point 1 is sufficient for this purpose.

If you object, we will block the affected contact address from further advertising data processing. We will process your objection as soon as possible and implement the corresponding blocking measures immediately after review. Please note that in exceptional cases, relevant information or product recommendations may still be sent even after your objection has been received. This is purely technical and does not mean that we have not implemented your objection. Thank you for your understanding.

In short, you can object to data sharing by us at any time.

Data Processing for Providing Our Offer

Below we would like to inform you about the data processing necessary for providing our offer:

Website Optimization

We will not sell or rent your data to third parties for their marketing purposes without your explicit consent. Only to offer our visitors the best possible customer experience, improve the quality of our offer from time to time, and protect our customers’ interests, we will, under certain circumstances, share certain data with third parties; however, the disclosure always occurs under strict restrictions described in more detail below:

In short, we collect data about you to make our website more appealing to you.

Cookies – General Information

We use so-called cookies on our website based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) DSGVO. Our interest in optimizing our offers is to be considered legitimate within the meaning of the aforementioned regulation. Cookies are small files that your browser automatically creates and that are stored on your device (laptop, tablet, smartphone, etc.) when you use our offers. Cookies do not cause any damage to your device and do not contain viruses, trojans, or other malware. Information is stored in the cookie that arises in connection with the specific device used. However, this does not mean that we immediately obtain knowledge of your identity. The use of cookies serves, on the one hand, to make the use of our offer more pleasant for you. For example, we use so-called session cookies to recognize that you have already visited individual pages of our website or that you have already logged into your customer account. If you use our offer again at a later time, the cookie automatically recognizes that you have been with us before and what inputs and settings you made so that you do not have to enter them again. Additionally, we also use cookies to optimize user-friendliness, which are stored on your device for a specific period. These are automatically deleted after you leave our offer.

If you already have a customer account and are logged in, the information stored in the cookies will be added to your customer account.

A general objection to the use of cookies for online marketing purposes can be declared for many of the services, especially in the case of tracking, via the US site http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or the EU site http://www.youronlinechoices.com/. Furthermore, you can disable the storage of cookies by adjusting your browser settings. Please note that if you do this, you may not be able to use all functions of this online offer.

On the other hand, we use cookies to statistically record the use of our offers and to evaluate them for the purpose of optimization for you, as well as to display information tailored to you. These cookies allow us to automatically recognize that you have been with us before when you visit our site again. These cookies are automatically deleted after a defined period. Most browsers accept cookies automatically. However, you can configure your browser so that no cookies are stored on your computer, or a notice always appears before a new cookie is created.

You can also use the general opt-out option of the Network Advertising Initiative for this purpose. However, completely disabling cookies may mean that you cannot use all functions of our offers. The storage duration of cookies depends on their purpose and is not the same for all.

In short, we also use cookies to make the site better for you and for us.

Google Analytics

To design and continuously optimize our offer according to needs, we use the analysis service Google Analytics of Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”) based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) DSGVO. Google creates pseudonymized usage profiles using cookies. The information generated by the cookie about your use of our website such as:

• Browser type/version,

• Operating system used,

• Referrer URL (the previously visited page),

• Hostname of the accessing computer (IP address),

• Time of server request,

is transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. The information is used to evaluate the use of our offer, to compile reports on activities, and to provide further services associated with the use of the offer for market research and needs-based design purposes. This information may also be transferred to third parties if required by law or if third parties process this data on behalf of Google. Under no circumstances will your IP address be merged with other data from Google. The IP addresses are anonymized so that assignment is not possible (so-called IP masking).

You can prevent the installation of cookies in advance by adjusting your browser software settings accordingly or object to further processing via the cookie by clicking the opt-out link: Opt-Out. However, please note that in this case, you may not be able to use all functions of our offers to their full extent. You can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie related to your use of our offer (including your IP address) and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing this browser add-on. On mobile devices, we recommend using the private mode. Further information on data protection in connection with Google

Analytics can be found on the Google Analytics website.

In short, we also use Google Analytics to enable better use of the website for you and us.

Google Ads

We use “Google Ads” (formerly Google AdWords) on our website, a service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Google Building Gordon House, Barrow St, Dublin 4, Ireland (hereinafter referred to as “Google”). Google Ads allows us to draw attention to our attractive offers on external websites with the help of advertising materials. This enables us to determine the success of individual advertising measures. These advertising materials are delivered by Google via so-called “AdServers”. We use AdServer cookies for this purpose, through which certain parameters for measuring success, such as the display of ads or clicks by users, can be measured. If you access our website via a Google ad, a cookie is stored on your PC by Google Ads. These cookies generally expire after 30 days. They are not intended to personally identify you. The following analysis values are typically stored in this cookie: Unique-Cookie-ID, number of Ad Impressions per placement (frequency), last impression (relevant for post-view conversions), opt-out information (marking that the user no longer wants to be addressed).

These cookies allow Google to recognize your web browser. If a user visits certain pages on the website of an Ads customer and the cookie stored on their computer has not yet expired, Google and the customer can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page. Each Ads customer is assigned a different cookie. Cookies can therefore not be tracked via the websites of Ads customers. We ourselves do not collect or process any personal data in the aforementioned advertising measures. We only receive statistical evaluations from Google. Based on these evaluations, we can see which of the advertising measures used are particularly effective. We do not receive any further data from the use of advertising materials; in particular, we cannot identify users based on this information. Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection to the Google server. We have no influence on the scope and further use of the data collected through the use of Google Ads by Google. According to our knowledge, Google receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding part of our website or clicked on an advertisement from us. If you have a user account with Google and are registered, Google can associate the visit with your user account. Even if you are not registered with Google or have not logged in, there is a possibility that Google will obtain and store your IP address.

We use Google Ads for marketing and optimization purposes, in particular to display ads that are relevant and interesting to you, to improve reports on campaign performance, and to achieve a fair calculation of advertising costs. This is also our legitimate interest in processing the above data by the third-party provider. The legal basis is Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. f) DSGVO.

You can prevent the installation of cookies by deleting existing cookies and disabling the storage of cookies in your web browser settings. We point out that in this case, you may not be able to fully use all functions of our website. Preventing the storage of cookies is also possible by setting your web browser so that cookies from the domain “www.googleadservices.com” are blocked (https://www.google.de/settings/ads). We point out that this setting will be deleted if you delete your cookies. In addition, you can deactivate interest-based ads via the link http://optout.aboutads.info. We point out that this setting will also be deleted if you delete your cookies.

Third-party provider information: Google Ireland Limited, Google Building Gordon House, Barrow St, Dublin 4, Ireland. Further information on data use by Google, on setting and objection options, and on data protection can be found on the following Google web pages:

• Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en&gl=de

• Google Website Statistics: https://services.google.com/sitestats/en.html

In short, we use Google Ads to draw attention to our offers and to measure the effectiveness of our advertising measures.

Google Tag Manager

Our website uses Google Tag Manager for personalized, interest- and location-based online advertising. The option to anonymize IP addresses is controlled by an internal setting in the Google Tag Manager, which is not visible in the source of this page. This internal setting is configured to ensure the required anonymization of IP addresses.

Opt-out link: https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated. Further information on Google’s policies can be found at https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en.

In short, we use Google Tag Manager to deliver personalized, interest- and location-based online advertising, with IP addresses being anonymized.

Facebook Pixel, Facebook Custom Audiences, and Facebook Conversion

Our online offer uses the “Facebook Pixel” of the social network Facebook, operated by Facebook Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA, or, if you are in the EU, Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland (“Facebook”).

With the help of the Facebook Pixel, Facebook can determine the visitors of our online offer as a target group for displaying ads (so-called “Facebook Ads”). Accordingly, we use the Facebook Pixel to display the Facebook Ads we have placed only to those Facebook users who have shown an interest in our online offer or who exhibit certain characteristics (e.g., interests in specific topics or products determined based on the visited web pages) that we transmit to Facebook (so-called “Custom Audiences”). With the help of the Facebook Pixel, we also want to ensure that our Facebook Ads correspond to the potential interest of users and do not have a harassing effect. With the help of the Facebook Pixel, we can further track the effectiveness of Facebook ads for statistical and market research purposes by seeing whether users were redirected to our website after clicking on a Facebook ad (so-called “conversion”).

Facebook Privacy Policy

Data processing by Facebook is carried out within the framework of Facebook’s data usage policy. Accordingly, general information on the display of Facebook Ads can be found in Facebook’s data usage policy. Special information and details about the Facebook Pixel and its functionality can be found in Facebook’s help section.

Basis

The use of the Facebook Pixel and the storage of “conversion cookies” are based on Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a DSGVO.

Order Data Processing Agreement

For the processing of data in which Facebook acts as a data processor, we have concluded an order data processing agreement with Facebook, in which we oblige Facebook to protect the data of our customers and not to pass them on to third parties.

Objection

You can object to the collection by the Facebook Pixel and use of your data to display Facebook Ads. To set which types of ads are shown to you within Facebook, you can go to the page set up by Facebook and follow the instructions on the settings for usage-based advertising. The settings are platform-independent, meaning they are applied to all devices, such as desktop computers or mobile devices. You can also object to the use of cookies for reach measurement and advertising purposes via the deactivation page of the network advertising initiative and additionally via the US website aboutads.info or the European website youronlinechoices.com. Another opt-out option can be found in our cookie statement.

In short, we use Facebook Pixel, Facebook Custom Audiences, and Facebook Conversion to deliver personalized ads to interested users and to measure the effectiveness of our Facebook advertising.

Contact Form

You have the option to contact us via a web form. To use our contact form, we require your name and email address. You can provide additional information, but it is not necessary. By sending your message to us, you agree that we may process your personal data to handle your request. Your request will be sent encrypted via https. The legal basis for processing is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b) DSGVO. Your data will only be processed to answer your inquiry and then deleted. There will be no transfer to third parties.

In short, we use the contact form to handle your inquiries, requiring your name and email address, and your data is only processed to respond to your request and then deleted.

‍Online Applications

We process your personal data in accordance with the applicable data protection regulations based on § 26 BDSG. We process the data you provide to us as part of your online application exclusively for the purpose of candidate selection. Data processing for other purposes does not take place.

You determine the scope of the data you wish to share with us as part of your online application. Online applications are electronically transmitted to our HR department and processed as quickly as possible. The transmission is encrypted. As a rule, applications are forwarded to the heads of the relevant departments within our company. Beyond this, your data will not be transferred. Your information will be treated confidentially within our company. In the event of an unsuccessful application, your documents will be deleted after 6 months.

If we would like to consider your application for other or future job vacancies, we will ask for your consent on the application. We then process your data based on Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a DSGVO.

Information according to Art. 13 GDPR for applicants

Compliance with data protection regulations is of great importance to our company. We would like to inform you below about the collection of your personal data with us:

Responsible Entity:

The company to which you have applied is responsible for data collection and processing.

Data We Need:

As part of the application process, we process data from you that we need for the application process. This can include contact details, all data related to the application (resume, certificates, qualifications, answers to questions, etc.), and, if applicable, bank account information (to reimburse travel expenses). The legal basis for this is § 26 Federal Data Protection Act.

Data Deletion:

If there is no statutory retention period, the data will be deleted as soon as storage is no longer required, or the legitimate interest in storage has expired. If no employment occurs, this is regularly the case six months after completing the application process. In individual cases, it may come to a longer storage of individual data (e.g., travel expense accounting). The duration of storage is then based on the statutory retention obligations, e.g., from the Tax Code (6 years) or the Commercial Code (10 years).

If no employment has taken place, but your application remains interesting to us, we will ask if we may keep your application for future job vacancies.

Confidential Handling of Your Data:

Your data will be treated confidentially within our company and will not be transferred to third parties. If necessary, we employ strictly bound service providers who support us, e.g., in the areas of IT or document archiving and destruction, with whom we have concluded separate data processing agreements.

Your Data Protection Rights:

As a data subject, you have the right to access your personal data processed by us and to correct inaccurate data or delete it, provided one of the grounds listed in Art. 17 GDPR applies, e.g., if the data is no longer required for the purposes pursued. There is also the right to restrict processing if one of the conditions specified in Art. 18 GDPR applies, and in cases of Art. 20 GDPR, the right to data portability.

Each data subject has the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority if they believe that the processing of their personal data infringes data protection regulations. The right to lodge a complaint can be asserted with a supervisory authority in the Member State of the data subject’s habitual residence, place of work, or the place of the alleged infringement.

In short, we process your personal data as part of your online application exclusively for candidate selection and delete this data after six months in the event of an unsuccessful application.

‍Use of Social Media Buttons

TEDx Innsbruck uses the Facebook share button based on its legitimate interests (i.e., interest in the analysis, optimization, and economic operation of our online offering within the meaning of Art. 6 Para.1 lit. f DSGVO). This allows you to conveniently share articles, and your friends will be informed. If you click the button, you will be prompted to log in to the social network in a new window. In this case, a cookie from the social network will also be placed on your computer. If you do not click the button or are not logged into the social network, no social network cookie will be placed on your computer. If you are a user of the social network and logged in, and click on the button, this information will be transmitted to your corresponding user profile. Other users can then see that you share this article. Which users exactly receive this information depends on the privacy settings you have made on your user profile. If you visit a page with a button, the IP address is transmitted. For privacy reasons, however, this is anonymized in such a way that no conclusions can be drawn about the computer or its user.

This website integrates a “YouTube Plugin” into its information offering based on its legitimate interests (i.e., interest in the analysis, optimization, and economic operation of the online offering within the meaning of Art. 6 Para.1 lit. f DSGVO). This YouTube software uses cookies to collect data and perform statistical evaluations. YouTube uses cookies, among other things, to collect reliable video statistics, prevent fraud, and improve user-friendliness. The website operator receives statistical values from the YouTube cookies regarding the retrieval of individual videos embedded on the website without any reference to the respective user. The embedded YouTube videos are used within the scope of YouTube’s permissible use, which all users must accept. If you see any copyright violations, please report them directly to YouTube.

We use embedded YouTube videos in enhanced privacy mode. This means: YouTube does not store cookies for a user who displays a website with an embedded YouTube video player but does not click the video to start playback. If the YouTube video player is clicked, YouTube may store cookies on the user’s computer, but no personal cookie information will be stored for playback of embedded videos. (Source: YouTube “Enabling the enhanced privacy mode for embedded videos”) For more information, please refer to YouTube’s general privacy notices (https://www.google.de/intl/en/policies/privacy/). We do not collect any personal data as part of embedding YouTube videos.

In short, we use social media buttons from Facebook and embedded YouTube videos to facilitate content sharing and improve user-friendliness, with cookies possibly being set when you use these services.

Zapier

We also use Vimkit to connect Webflow forms with Hubspot. You can find a link to their privacy policy here: Zapier Privacy Policy.

‍HubSpot

We use the HubSpot service on this website for various purposes. HubSpot is a software company from the USA with a branch in Ireland. Contact: HubSpot, 2nd Floor 30 North Wall Quay, Dublin 1, Ireland, Phone: +353 1 5187500. HubSpot is an integrated software solution that covers various aspects of our online marketing.

All information collected by us is subject to this privacy policy. We use all collected information exclusively to optimize our marketing measures.

Personal data will be stored as long as it is necessary to fulfill the processing purpose. The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer required for achieving the purpose.

As part of the processing via HubSpot, data may be transmitted to the USA. The security of the transmission is ensured via so-called standard contractual clauses, which ensure that the processing of personal data is subject to a level of security equivalent to that of the DSGVO. If the standard contractual clauses are not sufficient to establish an adequate level of security, your consent according to Art. 49 Para. 1 lit. a DSGVO can serve as a legal basis for the transmission to third countries.

In short, we use HubSpot to optimize our email marketing, social media publishing, reporting, and contact management, ensuring your data is securely stored and processed.

Newsletter

When subscribing to the newsletter of this site, the data from the respective input mask will be transmitted to the controller. Registration for our newsletter takes place in a so-called double opt-in process. This means you will receive an email after registration asking you to confirm your registration. This confirmation is necessary to ensure that no one can register with external email addresses. When registering for the newsletter, the user’s IP address as well as the date and time of registration are saved. This serves to prevent misuse of the services or the email address of the person concerned. Data will not be transferred to third parties. An exception exists only if there is a legal obligation to pass on the data. The data will be used exclusively for sending the newsletter. The newsletter subscription can be canceled by the affected person at any time.

Likewise, consent to the storage of personal data can be revoked at any time. For this purpose, a corresponding link is found in each newsletter. The legal basis for processing the data after the user has subscribed to the newsletter is the user’s consent according to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a) DSGVO. The legal basis for sending the newsletter as a result of the sale of goods or services is § 7 Para. 3 UWG.

In short, we use your data only for sending our newsletter, secured by a double opt-in process, and you can unsubscribe at any time.

‍CloudFlare

Our pages use functions from CloudFlare. The provider is CloudFlare, Inc., 665 3rd St. #200, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA. CloudFlare offers a globally distributed content delivery network with DNS. Technically, the information transfer between your browser and our website is directed via the CloudFlare network. CloudFlare can thus analyze the data traffic between users and our websites to detect and fend off attacks on our services, for example. In addition, CloudFlare may store cookies on your computer for optimization and analysis purposes. This serves to safeguard our predominantly legitimate interests in optimal marketing of our offer according to Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. b DSGVO.

We have concluded a corresponding order processing agreement with CloudFlare based on the DSGVO. Cloudflare is a certified participant of the EU-US Privacy Shield Framework. Cloudflare is committed to handling all personal data contained from member states of the European Union (EU) according to the Privacy Shield Framework in accordance with its applicable principles. For more information about the Privacy Shield Framework, please refer to the Privacy Shield List of the US Department of Commerce at Privacy Shield. Cloudflare collects statistical data about the visit of this website. The access data include: Name of the retrieved website, file, date, and time of retrieval, transferred data volume, notification of successful retrieval, browser type and version, the user’s operating system, referrer URL (the previously visited page), IP address, and the requesting provider. Cloudflare uses the log data for statistical evaluations for the purpose of operation, security, and optimization of the offer.

Here you can find information on the data collected there and on security & data protection at CloudFlare.

In short, we use CloudFlare to improve the security and performance of our website, with data traffic being analyzed and cookies possibly stored.

‍Instagram

We also use Instagram. Details about which data Instagram processes and for what purposes can be found in Instagram’s privacy policy: Instagram Privacy Policy.

Instagram, as part of Facebook Ireland Ltd., is committed to the principles of the EU-US Privacy Shield. More information can be found here: Privacy Shield.

We have no influence on the data processed by Instagram, the manner of processing, or the transfer of this data to third parties. We also have no effective control measures.

By using Instagram, your personal data will be collected, transmitted, stored, disclosed, and used by Facebook Ireland Ltd. and will be transferred and stored in the United States, Ireland, and any other country where Facebook Ireland Ltd. does business, regardless of your place of residence.

Instagram processes both the data you voluntarily provide, such as name and username, email address, phone number, or contacts from your address book if you upload or synchronize it, and analyzes the content you share to determine your interests. It also stores and processes confidential messages you send directly to other users and can determine your location based on GPS data, wireless network information, or your IP address to send you ads or other content.

For analysis, Instagram may use tools like Instagram Insights or Google Analytics. We have no influence on the use of such tools by Instagram and were not informed about such potential use. If these tools are used by Instagram for our Instagram profile, we neither commissioned, approved, nor supported it in any way. We are also not provided with the personal data obtained through the analysis. We only have access to certain non-personal, aggregated information about the activity, such as the number of likes or clicks on a particular post or profile, through our account. We also have no way of preventing or disabling the use of such tools on our Instagram profile.

Through embedded widgets and the use of cookies, Instagram can track your visits to these websites and associate them with your Instagram profile. Based on this data, content or advertisements can be tailored to you. Therefore, we refrain from using such widgets on our websites.

Due to the data protection issues, we do not place advertisements on Instagram and thus do not actively use the data collected by Instagram to target our communication.

Even though Instagram is a non-European provider with a European branch only in Ireland, it is bound by the GDPR. This concerns, for example, your rights to information, blocking, or deletion of data.

You can find options to restrict the processing of your data in the general settings of your Instagram profile under the various listed menu items.

Further information on these points can be found on the following Instagram support page: Instagram Support.

You can find information on viewing and downloading your data on Instagram here: Viewing and Downloading Instagram Data.

Information about the conclusions Instagram draws about you can be found here: Instagram Data and Instagram Insights.

Information on personalization and data protection settings can be found here: Instagram Privacy Settings.

You also have the option to send privacy concerns and objections directly to Instagram via a form: Instagram Contact Form.

Information on objection rights regarding data processing by Instagram can be found here: Instagram Objection Rights.

In short, we use Instagram to personalize content and advertisements, although we have no control over data processing.

X (formerly Twitter)

Our website includes functions of the service X. These functions are provided by the X Corporation, 1355 Market Street, Suite 900, San Francisco, CA 94103, USA. By using X and the “Re-Tweet” function, the websites you visit are linked to your X account and made known to other users. Data is also transferred to X in this process. We have no knowledge of the content of the transmitted data and its use by X as the provider of these pages. More information can be found in the X privacy policy at X Privacy Policy.

‍Legal Basis

The use of X is based on Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. As a local platform with the goal of sharing ideas, we have an interest in a broad visibility on social media.

Recipients Outside the EU

As stated above, data may be transferred to recipients located outside the European Union or the European Economic Area. This applies particularly to the processing of data using analysis or targeting technologies, which may result in data being transferred to the servers of service providers. Other recipients may include affiliated service providers that we need to provide our services, such as hosting services, CRM tools, and analytics providers. These servers may be located outside the EU, especially in the USA. We strictly ensure that these service providers comply with data protection standards equivalent to those of the GDPR and adhere to applicable regulations. We only work with service providers who are certified under the EU-US Privacy Shield. The EU Commission has determined the adequacy of the data protection level under certification number C(2016) 4176) in accordance with Art. 45 GDPR. The use of these certified service providers thus meets European standards for lawful data processing. Additionally, we have obtained appropriate contractual guarantees from all service providers located outside the EU, ensuring compliance with EU standards and the enforcement of data subject rights, for example, based on the EU Commission’s standard contractual clauses.

‍Your Rights

You have not only the right to physical integrity but also rights to protect your personality:

Overview

In addition to the right to object to the consent you have given us, you are entitled to the following rights, provided the respective legal requirements are met:

• Right to access your personal data stored by us in accordance with Art. 15 GDPR, in cases of transfers pursuant to Art. 46, 47, or 49(1)(2) GDPR, the right to information or reference to the appropriate or suitable guarantees and the possibility of how to obtain a copy or where it is available.

• Right to rectification of inaccurate or to complete correct data in accordance with Art. 16 GDPR.

• Right to deletion of your data stored with us in accordance with Art. 17 GDPR.

• Right to restriction of processing your data in accordance with Art. 18 GDPR.

• Right to data portability in accordance with Art. 20 GDPR.

Right to Object

Under the conditions of Art. 21(1) GDPR, data processing can be objected to for reasons arising from the particular situation of the data subject.

The above general right of objection applies to all processing purposes described in this privacy policy that are processed based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Unlike the specific objection to data processing for advertising purposes, we are only obligated under the GDPR to implement such a general objection if you provide us with reasons of overriding importance (e.g., possible danger to life or health). Additionally, you have the option to contact the supervisory authority responsible for us, the Berlin Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information, Friedrichstraße 219, 10969 Berlin.

Data Security

For our infrastructure and the processing of your data, we use the highest standards of information security. For example, we use security mechanisms for computers, such as firewalls and data encryption. Our buildings and data are subject to physical access controls. Access to personal information of our customers is only possible for employees who need this information to perform their duties.

All personal data you transmit to us, including your payment data, is transferred using the generally accepted and secure SSL (Secure Socket Layer) standard. SSL is a secure and proven standard also used in online banking. You can recognize a secure SSL connection by the attached “s” to the http (i.e., https://…) in the address bar of your browser or by the lock symbol at the bottom of the browser.

We also use appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal data stored with us against manipulation, partial or complete loss, and unauthorized access by third parties. Our security measures are continuously monitored and regularly adjusted and improved according to technological developments.

Right to Information, Deletion, Blocking

You have the right to free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of the data processing at any time, as well as a right to rectification, blocking, or deletion of this data. For this purpose, as well as for further questions on the subject of personal data, you can contact us at any time at the following address:
