Purpose & scope of
date processing when
visiting our website

How do we process personal data when you visit our website?
Every time a user accesses a page on our website and retrieves a file, access data about this process is stored in a log file on our server.

Ever record is comprised of:

  • The name of the file
  • The date and time of the request (time stamp)
  • The volume of data transferred
  • The access status (file transfer, file not found etc.)
  • The website where the request came from (referrer URL) 
  • The sub-pages accessed on our website via an accessing system
  • The operating system used by the accessing system
  • The Internet service provider for the accessing system
  • A description of the type of web browser used; e.g. Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome or Microsoft Internet Explorer, Apple Safari, Opera etc.)
  • An internet protocol address (IP address)

IP-Adressen speichern wir über einen Zeitraum von sieben Tagen in Server-Logfiles.
Die Speicherung erfolgt aus Gründen der Datensicherheit, um die Stabilität und die Betriebssicherheit unseres We store IP addresses in server log files for a period of seven days.
Storage takes place for data security reasons, in order to guarantee the stability and operational security of our Internet presence.
The legal basis for this is formed by Sec 6. (1) (f) GDPR.
As a matter of principle, we do not share your data with third parties unless you have consented to this. In certain areas, however, (e.g. hosting our website), we rely on the use of service providers who we usually place under obligation by way of a data processing commission agreement to ensure compliance with the legal requirements.

Collection of additional
data over the website

CONTACT OPTIONS OVER THE WEBSITE

Bei der Nutzung des Kontaktformulars erheben wir Ihre personenbezogenen Daten (Name, E-Mail-Adresse, NaWhen you use the contact form, we only collect your personal data (name, email address, message text) to the extent you provide it to us. Data processing serves for the purpose of establishing contact. Processing takes place in accordance with Sec. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. 
We only use your email address to process your enquiry. You data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required for the purpose it was collected. This is usually the case once it can be inferred from the circumstances that the matter in question has been clarified.

Newsletter

On our website, you can subscribe to newsletters containing general and specific information if you have expressly consented to do so. Processing takes place in accordance with Sec. 6 (1) (a) GDPR with your consent.  
On subscribing to the newsletter, the data from the input mask is transmitted to us here. Indicating an email address is sufficient to receive our newsletter.
Your consent is provided within the scope of what is known as the “double opt-in” procedure. The confirmation email address you provide serves to verify whether the owner of the address as the data subject has authorised the receipt of the newsletter. The IP address of the computer accessing the website and the date and time of registration are also logged in order to document your consent.
The option is available to you to revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future and unsubscribe from our newsletter, for example, by using the opt-out option provided in the newsletter.

Your data will be disclosed to a service provider for email marketing purposes here within the scope of a data processing commission agreement. Disclosure to any other third parties does not take place.

Newsletter-Tracking

Each “Bundeskunsthalle” newsletter contains what are known as tracking pixels or web bugs. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic that is embedded into emails sent in HTML format to facilitate the recording and analysis of log files. Based on the embedded pixel, the “Bundeskunsthalle” can determine whether and when a data subject opened an email and which links he accessed in the email. This is solely for the purpose of statistically evaluating the success or failure of the newsletter.

The data controller stores and evaluates the personal data collected using tracking pixels in the newsletters to optimise the delivery of the newsletter and better adapt the contents of future newsletters to the interests of the data subject. This personal data is not disclosed to third parties. Data subjects are entitled to revoke the declaration of consent they provided through the double-opt-in procedure at any time. Following revocation, the data controller deletes this personal data. The “Bundeskunsthalle” automatically interprets a data subject unsubscribing from receiving the newsletter as a revocation of consent.

Cookies

The “Bundeskunsthalle” website uses cookies. Cookies are text files that are deposited and stored on a computer system over an Internet browser.

Numerous websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain what is known as a cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier for the cookie. It consists of a character string which allows web pages and servers to be assigned to the specific Internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This allows the websites and servers visited to distinguish the individual’s browser from other Internet browsers that contain other cookies. The unique cookie ID can be used to recognise and identify a particular Internet browser.

By using cookies, the “Bundeskunsthalle” can provide its website users with more user-friendly services which would not be possible without setting the cookie. As already mentioned, cookies allow us recognise our website users. The purpose of this is to facilitate their use of our website. For example, the user of a website that uses cookies does not have to re-enter their credentials every time they visit the website, because the website and the cookie stored on the user’s computer system does this for them.

The data subject can prevent cookies being set through our website at any time by make a corresponding setting in the respective Internet browser, thus permanently rejecting cookies being set. The user can also delete cookies at any time that have already been set through an internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all standard Internet browsers. However, it may not be possible to use all the functions of our website in full if the data subject deactivates cookies being the set in the Internet browser used.

Matomo for web analysis (formerly Piwik)

Wir haben auf der Internetseite der Bundeskunsthalle die Komponente Matomo integriert. Matomo ist ein Open-Source-Softwaretool zur Web-Analyse. Web-Analyse ist die Erhebung, Sammlung und Auswertung von Daten über das Verhalten von BeWe have embedded the Matomo plugin into the “Bundeskunsthalle” website. Matomo is an open-source software tool for web analysis. Web analysis involves the recording, collection and analysis of data concerning the behaviour of website visitors. One of the jobs a web analysis tool performs is to collect data about which website a data subject came from (referrer website), which sub-pages on the website he accessed and how often, and the length of time a sub-page was viewed. Web analysis is mainly used to optimise a website and perform cost-benefit analysis in relation to Internet advertising.

The software is operated on the data controller’s server and log files sensitive to privacy are stored exclusively on this server.

The purpose of the Matomo plugin is to analyse visitor flows on our website. We use the data and information obtained, among other things, to evaluate the use of our website in order to compile online reports showing the activities on our web pages.

Matomo setzt ein Cookie auf dem informationstechnologischen System der User. Was Cookies sind, wurde oben bereits erläutert. Mit der Setzung des Cookies wird uns eine Matomo sets a cookie on the user’s IT system. What cookies are, has already been explained above. Setting the cookie allows us to analyse the use of our website. Each time an individual page on this website is called up, the Matomo plugin automatically causes the Internet browser on the data subject’s IT system to transmit data to our server for online analysis purposes. In the course of this technical process, we gain knowledge of personal data, such as the data subject’s IP address, which, among other things, serves to help us understand where visitors originate from and their clicks.

The cookie stores personal information, such as access time, the location from where access was made and the frequency of visits to our website. Each time a data subject visits our website, this personal information, including the IP address for the Internet connection used by the data subject, is transmitted to our server. We store this personal data. We do not disclose this personal data to third parties.

The data subject can prevent cookies being set through our website at any time as described above by making a corresponding setting in the respective Internet browser and thus permanently rejecting cookies being set. Making this setting in the Internet browser used also prevents Matomo from setting a cookie on the data subject’s IT system. The data subject can also delete at any time a cookie that Matomo has already set over an Internet browser or other software programs.

Furthermore, the data subject can object to the data generated by Matomo relating to the use of this website being collected and also prevent its collection. To do so, the data subject needs to set an opt-out cookie. The data subject will need to set the opt-out cookie again if his IT system is deleted, formatted or reinstalled at a later date.

Setting the opt-out cookie may result in the data subject no longer being able to use the data controller’s website in full.

Further information and the currently valid Matomo privacy policy can be viewed under: matomo.org/privacy/ 

Shariff

We have embedded the Shariff plugin into the “Bundeskunsthalle” magazine web pages. The Shariff plugin provides social media buttons that are privacy compliant. Shariff was developed for the German computer magazine c’t and is published by GitHub, Inc.

Developer of the component is GitHub, Inc. 88 Colin P. Kelly Junior Street, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA.

Usually, the button solutions provided by social networks already transfer personal data to the respective social network when a user visits a website on which a social media button is embedded. The Shariff plugin allows personal data to only be transmitted to social networks when the website visitor actively enables one of the social media buttons. Further information on the Shariff component is available from c’t computer magazine under www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/Datenschutz-und-Social-Media-Der-c-t-Shariff-ist-im-Einsatz-2470103.html (In German only). The purpose of using the Shariff plugin is to protect our website visitors’ personal data while allowing us to embed a button solution for social networks on our website at the same time.

Further information and the currently valid GitHub privacy policy can be viewed under  help.github.com/articles/github-privacy-policy/

Facebook

We have embedded plugins from Facebook on the “Bundeskunsthalle” website. Facebook is a social network. A social network is an Internet-based social meeting place, an online community that usually allows users to communicate with one another and interact in virtual space. A social network can serve as a platform for sharing views and experiences and also allows the Internet community to provide personal or business information. Facebook allows social network users to create private profiles, upload photos and socialise using friend requests.

The company that operates Facebook is Facebook, Inc., 1 Hacker way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA. The entity responsible for processing personal data if a data subject lives outside the USA or Canada is Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.

As part of our website, the plugins are identified by the Facebook logo and/or the addition “Like” or “Share”. You can find an overview of Facebook plugins here: developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/

These plugins (social media buttons) are disabled by default. Only when you activate them and by doing so declare your consent to communicating with Facebook, are buttons activated and connect to the servers from Facebook. Only then can you transfer data with a second click. If you are already signed into Facebook, this takes place without another window opening. A click on one of the Facebook buttons therefore means that you give your consent to the transfer of your data to the social network operator – but only for this one page. The deactivated button reappears when you call up further pages on the “Bundeskunsthalle” website. No complete surfing profiles are created in this way.

Please refer to the privacy policy of Facebook for information on the further processing and use of your data by Facebook, as well as your rights in this regard, and settings options for protecting your privacy: https://www.facebook.com/privacy/explanation

The purpose of embedding the Facebook plugin is to allow our users to redistribute the contents of our website, to promote the contents of our website in the digital world and to increase the number of visitors to our website. 

Fanpage on Facebook

The “Bundeskunsthalle” runs a fan page on the “Facebook” social network (operated by: Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland).

Since, in terms of data protection law, running the fan page represents a joint responsibility (Sec. 26 GDPR) between Facebook Ireland Ltd. and our company, an agreement has been reached with Facebook Ireland Ltd., which you can view under the following link: https://www.facebook.com/legal/terms/page_controller_addendum.

If you use Facebook products, such as our fan page, Facebook collects and uses the information described in its “Data Policy” under “What kinds of information do we collect?”.

The Facebook “Data Policy” is available online under: https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/update

Information about the cookies Facebook uses can be found in the Facebook Cookie Policy: https://www.facebook.com/policies/cookies/

Facebook supplies fan page operators with statistics and insights for their fan pages that help them understand the types of actions that people take on their pages (Page Insights).

The “Bundeskunsthalle” has no influence over the fact that Facebook collects these statistics and insights. According to Facebook, Page Insights are designed to show important trends without revealing details about you that could identify you.

According to Facebook, fan page operators may be able to associate “Like” info for the fan page if you like their fan page and have set your “Like” info for pages to “Public”.

We have embedded plugins from the Twitter on the “Bundeskunsthalle” website. Twitter is a multilingual micro-blogging service that is available to the public where users can post and distribute what are referred to as tweets, or short messages, which are limited to 280 characters. These short messages can be accessed by anyone, including non-Twitter subscribers. The tweets are also displayed to what are referred to as the followers of the respective user.

Only then can you transfer data with a second click. A pop-up window will appear on Twitter where you can still edit your tweet text. A click on one of the Twitter buttons therefore means that you give your consent to the transfer of your data to the social network operator – but only for this one page. The deactivated button reappears when you call up further pages on the “Bundeskunsthalle” website. No complete surfing profiles are created in this way. For more information about Twitter buttons, please refer to: about.twitter.com/de/resources/buttons.

The purpose of embedding the Twitter plugin is to allow our users to redistribute the contents of our website, to promote the contents of our website in the digital world and to increase the number of visitors to our website.
