8. Web Analysis by Matomo

8.1. Scope of the Processing of Personal Data

We use the open-source software tool Matomo on our website to analyze the surfing behavior of our users. The tool does not set any cookies on the users’ computers. However, the website operator collects data on accesses to the site via a time-limited hash file and stores this as so-called “server log files.” Matomo accesses the server log files and generates results based on these log files. In this respect, only a digital fingerprint is stored for 24 hours. The following data are collected in this way:

(1) The anonymized IP address of the user
(2) The accessed webpage
(3) The time of access
(4) The status code of the access
(5) The file size of the retrieval
(6) The user agent, e.g. the browser used

The software runs exclusively on the web server of the site operator. Storage of the users’ data takes place only there. The data are not passed on to third parties.

The IP addresses are not stored in full. In this way, it is impossible to assign the shortened IP address to the accessing computer.

8.2. Legal Basis for the Processing of Personal Data

The legal basis for the processing of users’ personal data is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest in processing the data lies in obtaining information on how our website is used, in order to further optimize our website presence in the future.

8.3. Purpose of Data Processing

The processing of the data serves to measure reach and enables us to optimize our website. By evaluating the data obtained, we are able to compile information about the use of the individual components of our website. This helps us to continuously improve our website and its user-friendliness. By anonymizing the IP address, the users’ interest in protecting their personal data is sufficiently taken into account.

8.4. Duration of Storage

The data are deleted as soon as they are no longer required for our recording purposes.

If you do not agree to the storage and use of your data, you can deactivate the storage and use here. In this case, an opt-out cookie will be stored in your browser, which prevents Matomo from storing usage data.

If you delete your cookies, this will also result in the deletion of the Matomo opt-out cookie. The opt-out must be reactivated when you visit our site again.

Your visit to this website is currently being recorded by Matomo web analytics. Uncheck this box to opt out.

Furthermore, we inform you as follows:

  • The controller under data protection law is BioRegio STERN Management GmbH (see above).
  • Duration of storage: The data are deleted immediately once the general statistics have been created, from which your individual data can no longer be derived. If you request deletion beforehand, the data will be deleted immediately, unless another legal basis for processing exists.
  • You have a right of access (Art. 15 GDPR), as well as the right to rectification (Art. 16 GDPR), erasure (Art. 17 GDPR), or restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR), and furthermore a right to data portability (Art. 20 GDPR) and a right to object to processing (Art. 21 GDPR).
  • The data subject has the right, on grounds relating to their particular situation, to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning them which is carried out on the basis of legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR); this also applies to profiling based on these provisions.
  • There is a right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority for data protection. You may have the choice between several data protection supervisory authorities. The supervisory authority responsible for our registered office is “The State Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information Baden-Württemberg.”
  • The provision of your personal data is neither legally nor contractually required, nor necessary for the conclusion of a contract. You and the data subject are not obliged to provide the data. A possible consequence of not providing the data is that your data cannot be included in the general statistics and therefore cannot be taken into account in the evaluation and improvement of our website.
  • There is no automated decision-making and no profiling pursuant to Art. 22 GDPR.

9. LinkedIn Account

9.1. Controller

We operate our own LinkedIn account. For this purpose, we make use of the technical platform and services of LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland. In addition to us, BioRegio STERN Management GmbH itself (see above under 1. Information on Visiting the Website), LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company is also a “controller” with regard to the processing of your personal data.

9.2. Types and Scope of the Processing of Affected Personal Data

By operating our LinkedIn account, the user data provided within your own LinkedIn account (such as name, employer, professional field, date of birth, etc.) are processed — if you yourself have a LinkedIn account. Regardless of whether you operate your own LinkedIn account, your assigned IP address is also processed.

9.3. Purposes and Legal Basis of Processing

The processing of this data takes place on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in being able to provide a contemporary platform in order to engage in appropriate information exchange with users.

The purposes of the data processing associated with the platform by LinkedIn itself, as well as the applicable legal bases and further information on the nature of the data and purposes of LinkedIn’s data processing, can be found in LinkedIn’s Privacy Policy at
https://de.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy

9.4. Categories of Recipients

LinkedIn processes personal data as described above. The categories of recipients of these data can also be viewed at https://de.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy

IMPORTANT! Please note the following: LinkedIn is a U.S.-based platform operated by a company headquartered in the United States. In the United States, there is no data protection level equivalent in substance to that of the European Union. The operators of social media platforms have also not provided specific safeguards to compensate for this shortfall. There is no general data protection law in the U.S., no data protection supervisory authorities, and no guarantees concerning potential access by government agencies. Authorities may access data stored on U.S. servers without a judicial order. Since the Snowden disclosures, it has also become known that such access does not occur only in isolated cases, but that a permanent and broad evaluation of data is technically possible and in fact practiced.

We are therefore unable to assess how your data, collected by LinkedIn, are processed and shared.

9.5. Duration of Data Storage
