Storage period

Unless a more specific storage period has been specified in this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for which the data is processed no longer applies. If you assert a justified request for erasure or revoke consent to data processing, your data will be deleted, unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing the personal data (e.g. retention periods under tax or commercial law); in the latter case, the deletion takes place after these reasons have ceased to exist.

Withdrawal of your consent to data processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You can revoke your consent at any time. The lawfulness of the data processing carried out up to the time of revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

Right to object to data collection in special cases as well as to direct marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)

If the data processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (e) or (f) GDPR, you have the right to object to the processing of personal data at any time on grounds arising from a special situation; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. The respective legal basis on which processing is based can be found in this privacy policy.

Right to data portability

You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfilment of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done to the extent that it is technically feasible.

SSL or TLS encryption

This site uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries that you send to us as the site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address bar of the browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in the browser line. If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

  • If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data held by us, we will usually need time to verify this. For the duration of the review, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
  • If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
  • If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it to exercise, defend or assert legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of erasure.
  • If you have filed an objection in accordance with Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR, a balancing of your interests and ours must be made. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.

Our website uses so-called “cookies”. Cookies are small files and do not cause any damage to your device. They are stored either temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (persistent cookies) on an end device. Session cookies are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Permanent cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them yourself or until your web browser automatically deletes them. In some cases, cookies from third-party companies may also be stored on your device when you visit our site (third-party cookies) and use any external services. These allow us or you to use certain third-party services (e.g., payment service processing cookies). Cookies have different functions. Numerous cookies are technically necessary because certain website functions would not work without them (e.g. the display of videos). Other cookies are used to evaluate user behaviour or to display advertising. Cookies that are necessary to carry out the electronic communication process (necessary cookies) or to provide certain functions (functional cookies) or to optimize the website (e.g. cookies to measure the web audience) are stored on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR and § 25 (2) TTDSG, unless another legal basis is specified. As a website operator, we have a legitimate interest in storing cookies for the technically error-free and optimised provision of our services. If consent to the storage of cookies has been requested, the cookies in question will be stored exclusively on the basis of this consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 para. 1 TTDSG); consent can be revoked at any time. You can set your internet browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies in certain cases or in general, and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when you close the browser. If you disable cookies, the functionality of our website may be limited. If cookies are used by third-party companies or for analysis purposes, we will inform you separately about this within the framework of this privacy policy and, if necessary, ask for consent.

Compliance GDPR/CCPA Cookie Consent

To manage the cookies and similar technologies used (tracking pixels, web beacons, etc.) and the corresponding consents, we use the consent tool “Compliance GDPR/CCPA Cookie Consent”. For details on how “Compliance GDPR/CCPA Cookie Consent” works, please see https://complianz.io/legal/privacy-statement/

The legal bases for the processing of personal data in this context are Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR and Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest is to manage the cookies and similar technologies used and the consents in this regard. The provision of personal data is neither contractually required nor necessary for the conclusion of a contract. You are not obliged to provide the personal data. If you do not provide the personal data, we will not be able to manage your consents.

VG Wort and reports on access figures

We use “session cookies” from VG Wort, Munich, to measure access to texts in order to record the probability of copying. Session cookies are small pieces of information that a provider stores in the memory of the visitor’s computer. A session cookie stores a randomly generated unique identification number, a so-called session ID. In addition, a cookie contains information about its origin and the storage period. Session cookies cannot store any other data. These measurements are carried out by Kantar Germany GmbH according to the Scalable Central Measurement Method (SZM). You will help to determine the probability of copying individual texts for the remuneration of legal claims of authors and publishers. We do not collect personal information through cookies. VG Wort thus enables authors to participate in the distributions from VG Wort, which ensure the statutory remuneration for the use of copyrighted works in accordance with § 53 UrhG. It is also possible to use our services without cookies. Most browsers are set to automatically accept cookies. However, you can disable the storage of cookies or set your browser to notify you when cookies are being sent. You can find more information here: https://www.vgwort.de/hilfsseiten/datenschutz.html

Privacy Policy for the Use of the Scalable Central Measurement Method

Our website and our mobile website use the “Scalable Central Measurement Method” (SZM) of Kantar Germany GmbH to determine statistical parameters for determining the probability of copying texts. Anonymous measured values are collected. To recognize computer systems, Traffic Measurement alternatively uses a session cookie or signature created from various automatically transmitted information from your browser. IP addresses are only processed in anonymized form. The procedure was developed with data protection in mind. The sole aim of the procedure is to determine the probability of copying individual texts. At no time are individual users identified. Your identity is always protected. You will not receive any advertising through the system.
