Procession of personal data

During visits on our website

You can visit our website without disclosing information about your person. Even if your visit takes place e.g. via newsletter links, we store only access data which is not personally identifiable, such as

  • The name of your Internet service provider
  • The Internet site from which you visit us
  • The Internet site from which you visit us
  • IP-adress
  • Date and time ot the request
  • Time zone difference from Greenwich Mean Time (GMT)
  • Content of the request (concrete page)
  • Access status/HTTP status code
  • Data volume transmitted in each case
  • Website from which the request comes
  • Browser type, including language and version used
  • Operating system and its user interface

 

The data are stored in our system logfiles. These data are not stored together with other personal data on the user, nor are the data evaluated for marketing purposes. The legal basis for the collection and storage of the data is Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. The data are technically necessary for us in order to be able to display our website to you and to warrant its stability and security. The data are stored in logfiles to ensure the functionality of the website. In addition, the data help us to optimise the website and to safeguard the security of our IT systems.

This purposes also found our legitimate interest in the processing of the data. The data are deleted as soon as they are no longer required for the achievement of the purpose for which they were collected. In the case of the collection of data for the provision of the website, this is the case when the respective session is terminated. In the case of the storage of the data in logfiles, this is the case after 1 year at the latest. Storage over and above this period is possible. In this case, however, the IP addresses of the users are deleted or anonymised so that identification of the requesting client is no longer possible.

Collection of the data for provision of the website and storage of the data in logfiles is essential for the operation of the Internet website. The user therefore has no right to oppose such collection and storage. If you are not in agreement with this, we recommend that you leave the Internet website.

We use cookies on our website. Cookies are small files that are stored on your data medium which contain certain settings and data used for the data exchange with our system via your browser. This storage enables us to tailor the website layout to your interests and simplifies access for you by saving, for example, certain inputs so that you do not have to constantly repeat them.

Google analytics with the extension anonymize IP

For the purposes of an appropriate design and ongoing optimisation of our website, we use Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google Inc. (“Google”) in accordance with Article 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. In this context, pseudonymised user profiles are created and cookies are used. The information generated by the cookie on your use of this website, such as

  • browser type/version,
  • operating system used,
  • referrer URL (the page previously visited),
  • host name of the accessing computer (IP address),
  • time of the server request,

is transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. The information is used to analyse the use of the website, to compile reports on the website activities and to provide other services related to the use of the website and of the Internet for the purposes of market research and the appropriate design of these Internet pages. This information may also be transferred to third parties, if required by law or if these data are processed by third parties on behalf of Google. On no account will your IP address be associated with any other data held by Google. The IP addresses are anonymised so that identification of the IP address is not (“IP masking”).

You can prevent the installation of the cookies by a corresponding setting in the browser software; we should point out, however, that in this case you may not be able to make full use of all the functions of this website.

Our online presence in social media

CITTI Handelgesellschaft mbH & Co. KG is present online in various social networks and platforms (e.g. Facebook, Instagram, etc.) and uses these to communicate with customers and potential customers active there, and to inform them about various activities and services. When using these networks and platforms, the general terms and conditions and data processing guidelines of the respective provider apply, not ours.

YouTube

To supply our customers with detailed information, we have videos embedded on our webpage. We use the services of YouTube LLC , 901 Cherry Avenue, San Bruno, CA 94066, USA, represented by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. When you open a page with integrated videos, your IP-address is being sent to YouTube and cookies are being installed on your device by default. To avoid the processing of your personal data by Youtube, we have embedded an extended data protection mode: YouTube still connects to the Google service Double Klick, but, according to Google’s data protectection regulation, personal data is not being processed or evaluated. That ensures no data of customers who visit our page is being stored by YouTube unless a video is played. In that case, your IP-Address is transmitted and YouTube stores the information of which clip you have watched. If you are logged into YouTube while activating that video, this informsation is stored on your user account (to avoid this, simply log out of YouTube before starting a video).
We neither have information nor influence on the potential collection and usage of your data by YouTube. For further Information, please refer to YouTube’s privacy policy here: policies.google.com . For the handling and possible deactivaion of cookies in general, please refer to our general statement in our data protection declaration.

Information on data processing with regard to our facebook page

On June 5th 2018 the ECJ ruled that facebook and a facebook page operator share responsibility over their data processing, in regards of data protection regulations. On the following day, the 6th of June 2018, the Data Protection Conference (association of German supervisory authorities) issued a so-called resolution in regards to the shared responsibility of data protection. According to that resolution we have to inform you comprehensively about the data processed by facebook itself and by our facebook page, in particular if you do not use facebook in principle. For the time being, no further information than facebook’s guidelines are available to us. You can find their data protection regulations, including information on your rights as user, here.


Photography and film recordings

At some of our events, we take photographs and make film recordings. Further information under: www.citti-park.de/en/photography-film
