WHAT DATA WE COLLECT AND PROCESS

During your visit to our website, personal data is processed. Personal data is any information that relates to you personally or that can be attributed to you. We process all personal data on this website in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), the German Federal Data Protection Act (“BDSG”), and all other relevant laws.

The personal data processed on this website can be assigned to the following categories:

  • Browser type and version
  • Operating system used
  • IP address of the requesting device
  • Date and time of the server request
  • Screen resolution

Log data

Log data is information used to record certain actions on our website. Log data is collected to ensure the security and integrity of the website, and to document and attribute certain actions for legal compliance purposes. This type of data includes:

  • Date and time of an operation
  • IP address of the device used to perform a particular action

Contact details

Contact information is information that is necessary to contact you or to identify you for contact purposes. This primarily includes:

  • Salutation,
  • First and last name,
  • Email address,
  • Phone number,
  • Address,
  • Date of birth

WHAT WE USE YOUR DATA FOR

Visits to our website

When you access our website, access data is sent automatically from your browser to our website’s server, automatically and without any further action on your part. This is necessary to ensure your smooth connection to and comfortable use of the website, and to safeguard and optimize the security and stability of the system.

The legal basis for processing the data is Article 6 (1) lit. f GDPR; our legitimate interest results from the need to present our website to you in a functional manner in accordance with your expectations.

Requests to contact KI Park via the website

Wherever we offer you the option of contacting us using a form provided on the website, it is necessary for you to provide your full name, title, and email address (contact details) so that we can respond to your contact request. Any communication content will only be processed for the purpose of handling your request.

The legal basis for processing your data when you contact us is a legitimate interest according to Article 6 (1) lit. f GDPR; our legitimate interest lies in answering and processing your inquiry, which requires the temporary storage of data. If you are contacting us for the purpose of initiating a contract (e.g., questions regarding membership or application for membership), the legal basis is the implementation of pre-contractual measures according to Article 6 (1) lit. b GDPR.

We regularly delete personal data that we collect from you in connection with a contact request as soon as we have finished processing your request. For more information on the storage period, please refer to the relevant section of this Privacy Notice below.

If you expressly agree to this before sending the contact request, we will also store the data you provide beyond the contact request so that we can refer to previous conversations during our next contact. The legal basis for this is your consent in accordance with Article 6 Section 1 lit. a, 7 GDPR, which we obtain separately from you. You have the right to revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future.

For promotional purposes

Registration

In some cases, we offer you the option of providing your contact details on the website so that we can contact you in the future with information about upcoming KI Park events, services and promotions (e.g. in the form of a newsletter). Registration to receive advertising and information by email is always carried out in a “double opt-in” process. This means that after registration you will receive an email requesting that you confirm your registration. This request is necessary so that no one can register using someone else’s email address.

If you are contacted by email (this is the norm), the legal basis for data processing is your consent in accordance with Article 6 Section 1 lit. a, 7 GDPR, which we obtain separately from you.

You have the right to revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future (e.g., via an unsubscribe link provided in every advertising email).

Logging

The registrations to receive advertising (e.g., newsletter) are logged as evidence for the registration process in accordance with the legal requirements. This includes recording the time of registration and confirmation as well as the IP address.

The legal basis for the processing of access data for logging purposes is a legitimate interest pursuant to Article 6 (1) lit. f GDPR, arising from the need to properly document the declarations made and actions taken and, if necessary, to be able to prove them.

Performance measurement

To be able to improve our promotional mailings and measure the success of our promotional communications, we collect personal data from you (access data, possibly also email address) when you open and read them email, and navigate to links in the email. This analysis includes information that the newsletter was opened, when it was opened, and which links were clicked. In addition, certain parameters regarding reading behavior, the retrieval location (determinable by means of the IP address), and the access time are collected and transmitted to us. This information enables us to better understand our users’ reading habits and to adapt our content or send different content according to our users’ interests.

The legal basis for data processing for purposes of success measurement is your consent pursuant to Article 6 (1) a, 7 GDPR, which we obtain from you together with your consent to be addressed for promotional purposes. You have the right to revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future. Note: For technical reasons, a separate revocation of the consent to the performance measurement is not possible for technical reasons.

Storage duration

Contact data that we collect from you for the purpose of sending promotional communications will be deleted as soon as you object to being contacted for promotional purposes via email (e.g., by clicking on the unsubscribe link in a newsletter), provided that there are no further statutory retention obligations. Further information on the storage period can be found below in the relevant section of this Privacy Notice.

Twitter International Unlimited Company
One Cumberland Place, Fenian Street
Dublin 2, D02 AX07, Irland
(„Twitter„).

We use Twitter Ads conversion tracking to analyze the use of our website and to continuously improve individual features and offers as well as the user experience. With the Twitter Remarketing function, we can target you with advertising based on your interests on the Twitter platform. For this purpose, Twitter uses so-called "tags". This tag is used to record visits to our website as well as data on usage in pseudonymous, non-personal form. If you subsequently visit Twitter, you will be shown advertisements based on your interests.

Twitter thereby receives the information from your browser that our website was called up from your end device. We point out that we have no influence on the scope of the transmitted data and its further use by Twitter and therefore inform you according to our state of knowledge: Through the integration of tags, Twitter receives the information that you have called up the corresponding website. If you are registered with a Twitter service, Twitter can assign the visit to your account. Even if you are not registered with Twitter or have not logged in, it is possible that the provider will learn and store your IP address and other identifying features.

If you still do not wish to use the remarketing function from Twitter, you can deactivate this function on Twitter at the following address: https://help.twitter.com/de/safety-and-security/privacy-controls-for-tailored-ads

LinkedIn Corporation
2029 Stierlin Court, Mountain View
CA 94043, USA
(„LinkedIn„).

With the data, LinkedIn can recognize that you have visited our website, what you have clicked on and if you have clicked on a link on LinkedIn that connects you to our website. This allows LinkedIn to show you interest-based content.

The LinkedIn Insight tag enables the collection of data from your visit to our website, including URL, referrer URL, IP address, device and browser properties (user agent), and timestamp. IP addresses are shortened or hashed. LinkedIn does not share any personally identifiable information with us, but uses the data collected on our website for reports (in which you are not identified) about website visitors and ad performance. LinkedIn also provides retargeting for website visitors on LinkedIn, so we can use this data to display targeted ads outside of our website without identifying you. LinkedIn also uses data that does not identify you to improve the relevance of ads and reach members across devices. If you do not want this, you can opt out of retargeting at any time.

LinkedIn may link this data to your user account and use it for its own purposes. The processing of your data by Twitter is explained in the privacy policy at https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy.

The legal basis for the processing of personal data in the context of the use of Google Analytics is your consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. a, 7 DS-GVO, which you grant when you accept the corresponding cookie settings when accessing our website. You have the right to revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future. You can also prevent the storage of cookies at any time, or delete cookies already set, in your browser settings.

For cases in which personal data is transferred to the USA, this is based on standard contractual clauses pursuant to Art. 46 DS-GVO, according to which LinkedIn guarantees that the EU data protection requirements are also complied with when processing data in the USA.

Further information on data protection in connection with LinkedIn can be found here https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy
