- Collection, use, storage and erasure of personal data
We process our users’ personal data only if this is necessary to provide a functional Website as well as to offer our content and services. We also process personal data that you provide as part of an (online) application or send us in connection with your subscription to the free newsletter provided by VAXIMM. This newsletter includes the latest information about activities, events and collaborations or our press releases.
Personal data usually will be processed only upon the user’s consent (legal basis: point (a) of Article 6(1) GDPR). Exceptions apply in cases, where obtaining prior consent is not possible for practical reasons and where processing such data is permitted by law. If processing is necessary to safeguard our legitimate interest or that of a third party, and if your interests, fundamental rights and freedoms do not outweigh such interest, point (g) of Article 6(1) GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing.
We need your e-mail address for your subscription for our newsletter. Your e-mail will be used for the purpose of sending the newsletter only. VAXIMM’s newsletter with latest information about activities, events and collaborations or our press releases is sent by MC Services, Bavariaring 26, 80336 Munich, Germany.
Your personal data will be erased or blocked, once the purpose of their storage ceases to apply. Data may also be stored if this has been provided for by European or national law in EU regulations, laws or other provisions governing the controller. Data will also be blocked or erased upon expiry of a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned provisions, unless such data must be retained for conclusion or performance of a contract.
- Cookies
Cookies are information packages transmitted from web servers to web browsers and stored by the web servers. The information is returned to the server whenever the browser requests a page from the server. This enables a web server to identify web browsers and to track their path. There are two main types of cookies: Session cookies und persistent cookies. Session cookies are deleted from your computer when you close your browser, while persistent cookies are stored on your computer until they are deleted or reach their expiration date. Persistent cookies may be used to collect identifying information about the user, such as web surfing behavior or the user’s preferences for a particular website.
By using our Website, you consent to the use and storage of cookies on your terminal device. You may also view our Website without cookies. Most browser accept cookies automatically. You can prevent cookies from being stored on your terminal device by selecting “do not accept cookies” in your browser settings. You can delete cookies stored on your storage device at any time. For detailed instructions on how to do this, refer to the manual of your browser or terminal device.
- Social plug-ins/web analysis
a) Web analysis by Matomo (formerly PIWIK)
Our website uses the open-source software tool Matomo (formerly PIWIK) to analyze our users’ surfing behavior. The software places a cookie on the users’ computer (see above for cookies). If individual pages of our Website are accessed, the following data are stored:
- Two bytes of the IP address of the user’s accessing system,
- The accessed website,
- The previous website visited by the user before accessing the Website (referrer),
- The sub-pages accessed from the accessed Website,
- The time spent on the Website,
- The frequency of visits to the Website.
The software runs exclusively on the servers of our Website. The users’ personal data are stored there only. The data are not disclosed to any third party. The software is configured such that IP addresses are not stored in full, but 2 bytes of the IP address are masked (e.g. 192.168.xxx.xxx). It is therefore no longer possible to attribute the shortened IP address to the accessing computer.
Legal basis for processing the personal data of users is point (f) of Article 6(1) GDPR. Processing the personal data of users enables us to analyze our users’ surfing behavior. Analyzing the gathered data enables us to compile information about the use of the individual components of our Website. This helps us with constantly improving our Website and its user-friendliness. These purposes also constitute our legitimate interest in processing the data pursuant to point (f) of Article 6(1) GDPR. The users’ interest in protecting their personal data is adequately taken into account when rendering the IP address anonymous.
The data are erased once they are no longer needed for our recording purposes. With us, this is the case after three months.
For more information about the privacy settings of the Matomo software, please consult https://matomo.org/docs/privacy/.
