The Digital Hub Region Bonn AG takes the protection of personal data very seriously. Therefore, we would like to make the handling of your data transparent by means of the following data protection declaration. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us at any time.

General information:

What is personal data?

By personal data, we mean all data that provide information about your identity. This includes, for example, your name or your email address. We receive personal data from you e.g. through our contact forms.

The Digitaler Hub Region Bonn AG formulates its data protection guidelines in accordance with the DS-GVO

Your data subject rights

You can exercise the following rights at any time by contacting our data protection officer:

Information about your data stored with us and how it is processed,
Correcting incorrect personal data,
Deletion of your data stored with us,
Restriction of data processing, provided that we are not yet allowed to delete your data due to legal obligations,
Objection to the processing of your data by us and
Data transferability, if you have consented to data processing or have concluded a contract with us.

If you have given us your consent, you can revoke it at any time with effect for the future.

You can contact the supervisory authority responsible for you at any time with a complaint. Your competent supervisory authority depends on the state of your residence, your work or the suspected violation. A list of the supervisory authorities (for the non-public sector) with their addresses can be found at: https://www.bfdi.bund.de/DE/Infothek/Anschriften_Links/anschriften_links-node.html.

Collection of general information when you visit our website

When you access our website, information of a general nature is automatically collected using a cookie. This information (server log files) includes, for example, the type of web browser, the operating system used, the domain name of your Internet service provider and similar information. This is exclusively information which does not allow any conclusions about your person.

This information is technically necessary in order to correctly deliver the contents of websites requested by you and is mandatory when using the Internet. It is processed in particular for the following purposes:

Ensuring that the website can be connected without problems,
Ensuring a smooth use of our website,
Evaluation of system security and stability and
for further administrative purposes.

The processing of your personal data is based on our legitimate interest from the aforementioned purposes for data collection. We do not use your data to draw conclusions about your person. Recipients of the data are only the responsible body and, if applicable, processors.

Anonymous information of this kind is statistically evaluated by us, if necessary, in order to optimize our Internet presence and the technology behind it.

SSL-encryption

To protect the security of your data during transmission, we use state-of-the-art encryption procedures (e.g. SSL) via HTTPS.

Comment function

If users leave comments on our website, in addition to this information, the time of their creation and the user name previously selected by the website visitor are also stored. This is for our security, as we can be prosecuted for illegal content on our website, even if it was created by users.

Handling of personal data

We process your personal data only for the purposes stated in this privacy policy. Your personal data will not be transferred to third parties for purposes other than those mentioned. We will only pass on your personal data to third parties if:

you have given your express consent,
the processing is necessary for the execution of a contract with you,
the processing is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation,

the processing is necessary to protect legitimate interests and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding interest worthy of protection in not disclosing your data.

Deletion or blocking of data

We adhere to the principles of data avoidance and data economy. We therefore only store your personal data for as long as is necessary to achieve the purposes stated here or as required by the various storage periods stipulated by law. After the respective purpose has ceased to exist or these periods have expired, the corresponding data will be routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with the statutory provisions.

Server of our website

Our website runs on servers of RAIDBOXES GmbH. In order to ensure the DSGVO compliant handling of your data by RAIDBOXES, we have concluded a corresponding ADV contract.

social plugins

We offer you the possibility of using so-called “social media buttons” on our website. For the protection of your data, we rely on the “Shariff” solution for implementation. This means that these buttons are integrated on the website merely as a graphic, which contains a link to the corresponding website of the button provider. By clicking on the graphic, you will be forwarded to the services of the respective provider. Only then will your data be sent to the respective provider. If you do not click on the graphic, there will be no exchange between you and the social media button providers. Information about the collection and use of your data in the social networks can be found in the respective terms of use of the respective providers. You can find more information about the Shariff solution here: http://www.heise.de/ct/artikel/Shariff-Social-Media-Buttons-mit-Datenschutz-2467514.html

We have integrated the social media buttons of the following companies on our website:

Facebook:
Facebook Inc, 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA

Twitter:
Twitter Inc, 795 Folsom Street, Suite 600, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA

Xing:
XING SE, Dammtorstrasse 30, 20354 Hamburg

YouTube:
YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA

Linkedin:
LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland

Instagram:
Instagram LLC, 1601 Willow Rd, Menlo Park CA 94025, USA

Embedded YouTube videos

On some of our websites we embed Youtube videos. The operator of the corresponding plugins is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. When you visit a page with the YouTube plugin, a connection is established to Youtube servers. This tells Youtube which pages you visit. If you are logged in to your YouTube account, Youtube can assign your surfing behavior to you personally. You can prevent this by logging out of your Youtube account first.

If a Youtube video is started, the provider uses cookies that collect information about user behavior.

If you have deactivated the storage of cookies for the Google Ad program, you will not have to expect such cookies when watching YouTube videos. However, Youtube also stores non-personal usage information in other cookies. If you want to prevent this, you must block the storage of cookies in the browser.

Further information on data protection at “Youtube” can be found in the provider’s privacy policy at: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/

contact forms

If you contact us by e-mail or contact form with regard to questions of any kind, you give us your voluntary consent for the purpose of contacting us. For this purpose, a valid e-mail address is required. This serves to assign the inquiry and to answer it afterwards. The indication of further data is optional. The information you provide will be stored for the purpose of processing your inquiry and for possible follow-up questions. Personal data will be automatically deleted after the completion of your inquiry.

Newsletter

With the newsletter we inform you about us and our offers.

On the basis of your expressly given consent, we will send you our newsletter regularly by e-mail to your specified e-mail address.

To receive the newsletter, it is sufficient to enter your e-mail address. If you register to receive our newsletter, the data you provide will be used exclusively for this purpose. Subscribers can also be informed by e-mail about circumstances that are relevant to the service or registration (for example, changes to the newsletter offer or technical conditions).

For an effective registration we need a valid e-mail address. In order to verify that a registration is actually made by the owner of an e-mail address, we use the “double opt-in” procedure. For this purpose we log the ordering of the newsletter, the sending of a confirmation mail and the receipt of the hereby requested answer. Further data is not collected. The data will be used exclusively for sending the newsletter and will not be passed on to third parties.

You can revoke your consent to the storage of your personal data and its use for sending the newsletter at any time. There is a corresponding link in every newsletter. You can also unsubscribe at any time directly on this website or inform us of your request via the contact option at the end of this privacy policy.

Google Fonts

In order to display our content correctly and graphically appealing across browsers, we use script libraries and font libraries such as Google Web Fonts (https://www.google.com/webfonts/) on this website. Google Web Fonts are transferred to the cache of your browser to avoid multiple loading. If the browser does not support Google Web Fonts or prevents access, content will be displayed in a default font.

Calling up script libraries or font libraries automatically triggers a connection to the library operator. It is theoretically possible – although it is currently unclear whether and for what purposes – that the operators of such libraries collect data.

The privacy policy of the library operator Google can be found here: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/

Event distribution

We use the Eventbrite service to manage our own paid events. Eventbrite thus processes personal data of our ticket buyers on behalf of the Digital Hub Region Bonn AG. This is done in compliance with DSGVO, which is documented in the following data processing supplement

https://www.eventbrite.de/support/articles/de/Troubleshooting/datenverarbeitungsnachtrag-fuer-veranstalter

Duration of storage:

The data collected by the Digitaler Hub Region Bonn AG will only be stored for the duration of its necessity and exclusively in the interest of the data owner. In the case of contact data, this means that the data is deleted as soon as the request has been processed and no continuation of the contact is desired.

Change of our data protection regulations

We reserve the right to adapt this data protection declaration so that it always meets the current legal requirements or to implement changes to our services in the data protection declaration, e.g. when introducing new services. The new data protection declaration then applies to your renewed visit.

The data protection declaration was created with the data protection declaration generator of activeMind AG.
