If data is being processed on the basis of point (e) or (f) of Article 6(1) GDPR, you have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, at any time to processing of personal data concerning you; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions.

• If your personal data is or has been processed unlawfully, you can request a restriction of processing instead of the data being erased.
• If we no longer need your personal data but you require it for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims, you have the right to request a restriction of processing instead of your personal data being erased.
• If you have objected in accordance with Article 21(1) GDPR, both your and our interests must be considered. Until it has been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to demand the restriction of processing of your personal data.

5. NEWSLETTER

Newsletter data

If you would like to receive the newsletter offered on the website, we will require from you a valid email address and information that enables us to verify that you are the owner of the email address you provided and that you consent to receive the newsletter. Other data is not collected unless you provide it voluntarily. We only use this data in order to send the information you have requested; we do not share the data with third parties. The data you provide in the newsletter subscription form is processed exclusively on the basis of your consent (point (a) of Article 6(1) GDPR).

We store the data concerning you for the purpose of receiving the newsletter until you unsubscribe from the newsletter, at which point we erase the data. This does not affect data which we are storing for other purposes.

VBOUT

VBOUT is a service which can organize and analyze the sending of newsletters. If you provide data for the purpose of receiving the newsletter (e.g., your email address), the data is stored on the servers of VBOUT.

We use VBOUT to analyze our newsletter campaigns. When you open an email sent with VBOUT, a file (i.e. a web beacon) contained in the email connects to the servers of VBOUT. This enables us to determine whether or not you have opened a newsletter and what links you have clicked on, if any. Technical information is also collected (e.g., the date and time when you opened the newsletter, your IP address, your browser type, and your operating system). This information cannot be attributed to the recipient of each newsletter. It is only used to perform statistical analyses of newsletter campaigns. The results of these analyses can be used to tailor future newsletters to the interests of their recipients more effectively.

If you object to analysis by VBOUT, you will have to unsubscribe from the newsletter. Every newsletter we send contains a link that you can click on to unsubscribe. You can also unsubscribe from the newsletter on the website directly.

The data is processed on the basis of your consent (point (a) of Article 6(1) GDPR). You can withdraw this consent at any time by unsubscribing from the newsletter. A withdrawal of consent does not retroactively affect the lawfulness of data processing that has taken place up to the moment of withdrawal. We store the data concerning you for the purpose of receiving the newsletter until you unsubscribe from the newsletter, at which point we erase the data from our servers and from the servers of Mailchimp. This does not affect data which we are storing for other purposes.

6. PLUGINS AND TOOLS

Google Tag Manager

This website uses Google Tag Manager. It is provided by Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

Google Tag Manager is a solution that enables marketers to manage website tags on a dashboard. The Tag Manager tool itself (which implements the tags) is a cookie-free domain and does not collect personal data. The tool activates other tags which could themselves collect data. Google Tag Manager does not access this data. If recording has been deactivated at domain or cookie level, this setting will remain in place for all tracking tags implemented with Google Tag Manager.

You can find more information in the Google Tag Manager terms of service at https://www.google.com/analytics/terms/tag-manager/.

Google Fonts

Our website uses Google Fonts to standardize the way in which fonts are displayed. It is provided by Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

Your browser will download the necessary web fonts to your browser cache in order to display text and fonts correctly. The browser you are using must connect to the Google servers for this purpose. In the process, Google will be notified that our website has been accessed from your IP address. If your browser does not support web fonts, your computer will use a standard font.

You can find more information about Google Web Fonts at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and in Google’s privacy policy at https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=us.

jQuery

Our website uses the JavaScript library jQuery. When you open the website, your browser will download the external JavaScript file from the server ajax.googleapis.com. We use the Google content delivery network to load this library in order to increase the loading speed of our website and in turn improve your user experience. If you have previously used jQuery on a different page from the Google content delivery network, your browser will access the copy stored in the cache. If your browser does not have a copy in the cache or downloads the file from the Google content delivery network for a different reason, data will be transferred from your browser to Google. For more information about how Google processes data, please see Google’s privacy policy at https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=us.

Facebook Pixel

Our website uses the Facebook pixel to analyze the effectiveness of Facebook advertising. It is provided by Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.

When you visit the website, your IP address and user data are transmitted. These cannot be directly associated with you. Additionally, cookies are necessary and used in order to analyze how the website is used. If we have asked for your consent, the data is processed exclusively on the basis of point (a) of Article 6(1) GDPR; you can withdraw your consent at any time, however. You can accept, block, or withdraw your consent to cookies via the cookie banner (opt in/opt out).

When you visit our website, the Facebook pixel is integrated by Facebook directly and can install a cookie on your device. If you then log into Facebook or visit Facebook while you are already logged in, your visit to our website will be associated with your profile. The data collected from you is anonymous to us and therefore does not enable us to draw any conclusions as to your identity. However, Facebook stores and processes the data, which means that the data can be associated with your profile and can be used by Facebook for its own market research and advertising purposes. Where data is sent to Facebook for cross-checking purposes, the data is encrypted locally in your browser before being sent to Facebook over a secure HTTPS connection. The sole purpose of this is to cross-check the data against the data that has been encrypted by Facebook.

For more information, see https://about.fb.com and Facebook’s privacy policy at https://facebook.com/policy.

Facebook fan page

We operate a Facebook fan page on Facebook, a service provided by Facebook Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland.

Facebook collects and uses data in order to provide website operators with analytics services known as Page Insights, so that the website operators learn how people interact with their websites and the content on their websites. This data includes information about the types of content viewed or interacted with by users or the actions they take, as well as information about the users’ devices such as their IP address, operating system, browser type, language settings, and cookie data.

We and Facebook Ireland Ltd. are jointly responsible for collecting and processing data relating to visitors to our fan page.

The legal ground is our legitimate interest in using this information for marketing purposes (sentence 1 of point (f) of Article 6(1) GDPR). In accordance with Article 26 GDPR, we have therefore entered into a contract with Facebook concerning our joint responsibilities with regard to processing your data. In particular, the contract with Facebook sets out the security safeguards with which Facebook must comply and stipulates that Facebook must observe the rights of data subjects.

You can find more information about Page Insights and about your rights as a data subject in the “Information about Page Insights”.

You can view the conditions of the contract with Facebook here.
