2. Accessing the website

3. Contact initiated by you

When you contact us, for example using our e-mail addresses, the data that you provide (your e-mail address, possibly your name and your telephone number) will be processed by us for the purpose of responding to your enquiry. We will delete data collected in this connection once it is no longer required for the aforementioned purpose, unless the deletion of this data would contravene statutory retention obligations.

To ensure that a suitable level of data protection is observed, we make use of the EU Standard Contractual Clauses for the preparation of the contracts with services employed in Third Countries as per Art. 46 para. 2 point c GDPR, unless there is an adequacy decision issued by the European Commission for that Third Country:

Standard Contractual Clauses

5. Transmission of Data

Unless otherwise stated in this Privacy Policy, we will only transmit your personal data to third parties if transmission is required to comply with our contractual obligations to you and this evidently needs to be done through or jointly with another provider, if we are permitted or required by law to transmit the data on other grounds, or if you have provided us with the relevant consent.

6. Cookies and similar Technologies

In order to prevent fraud, the use of cookies and similar technologies is absolutely necessary. The use of cookies is required for us to provide you with the service requested by you. The lifetime of these cookies is limited on the session, but not longer than 24 hours.  

Cookies are small files that your browser places in a folder designated for this purpose on your device. This makes it possible, for instance, to determine whether you have visited a website before. Many cookies contain what is known as a “cookie ID”. A cookie ID is a unique cookie identifier. It consists of a string of characters which websites and servers can associate with the specific web browser where the cookie has been stored. This enables visited websites and servers to differentiate between the specific browser of the Data Subject and other web browsers containing different cookies. A specific web browser can be recognised and identified using the unique cookie ID. Without additional information, cookies cannot be used to identify you personally.

8. Facebook Fan Pages

At the following links we use Facebook Fanpages, for which we are joint controllers with Meta Platforms Ireland Limited: https://www.facebook.com/AxelSpringerIdeas.

As joint controllers with Facebook, we analyse how you use our Fanpage (Page Insights). The information required under the GDPR regarding data processing in relation to Page Insights is obtained from Facebook; it is currently available in Facebook’s Data Policy at https://www.facebook.com/legal/terms/information_about_page_insights_data.

Facebook also provides the relevant content of the contract concluded between Facebook and us on processing under joint controllership pursuant to Art. 26 GDPR; this is currently available at the following link: https://www.facebook.com/legal/terms/page_controller_addendum. You may exercise your right of complaint to any Supervisory Authority that is competent to rule for you and seek legal remedy through them.

For Page Insights on our Facebook Fanpages, Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland serves as the joint point of contact and will handle all requests for the exercise of Data Subject rights.

In relation to Page Insights, we only receive anonymised statistics. We have no access to personal data processed by Facebook. Anonymised data is processed by us on the basis of statutory provisions that allow us to process personal data because we have an overriding legitimate interest in obtaining a better understanding of the interests of visitors to our Fanpages (Art. 6 para. 1 point f GDPR).

On the Fanpages, Facebook offers various community functions which enable you to interact with other users, for example by making posts, leaving comments or liking or sharing posts. Please note that these areas are publicly accessible and any personal information that you post or provide while logged in can be seen by others. We have no control over how other Fanpage users use this information. In particular, we cannot stop unwanted messages being sent to you.

Where applicable, you also have the right to have your personal data transmitted to you or to another Data Controller in a structured, standardised and machine-readable format, as long as processing is performed on the basis of consent or contract using automated procedures. This does not apply, however, where the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller. You also have the right to have the personal data transmitted directly from one Data Controller to another, provided that it is technically feasible to do so and does not infringe upon the rights and freedoms of other persons.

You can withdraw your previously-given consent at any time with future effect by contacting the aforementioned address.

Moreover, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data at any time (where such processing is based on a legitimate interest) for reasons arising from your particular circumstances. This also applies to profiling activities based on these provisions. If such an objection is received, we will cease to process the personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override the interests, rights and freedoms of the Data Subject, of if the processing is for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

If we are processing personal data for the purpose of direct marketing, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data at any time for the purpose of such marketing by contacting the aforementioned address. This also applies to profiling insofar as it is connected with such direct marketing. You also have the right to file an objection for reasons arising from your particular circumstances against processing of your personal data that we are engaged in for scientific, historical research or statistical purposes, unless such processing is required to perform a task that is in the public interest.

Right of Complaint

You also have the right to submit a complaint to the competent supervisory authority and to seek legal remedies. The supervisory authority with whom the complaint was lodged will notify the complainant about the status and result of their complaint, including the option of seeking a judicial remedy.
