PRIVACY STATEMENT

Privacy Statement Summary:

This website, which is operated by the website operator whose contact information is listed above, collects personal data. By accessing the website, you consent to this data collection.

We collect your personal data in two ways: either voluntarily, e.g. via our contact form, or automatically via our IT-systems as soon as you access our website. This automated collecting mainly concerns technical data (your internet browser, your operating system or the time you accessed the website).

We collect your personal data for several reasons: to give you information about our project, to enable technical operability of the website, and to analyse your user behaviour.

You have the right to, at any time and free of charge, obtain information about the recipient of your personal data and the purpose of collecting it. You are also entitled to have your personal data corrected, blocked or deleted. To this end, you can contact us at the address above or via email. Furthermore, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.

If you use our website, your surfing behaviour may be tracked statistically with the use of cookies and special programs. This analysis is anonymous; your surfing behaviour cannot be traced back to you. You may object to this kind of analysis or the use of certain tools; detailed information on how to do so can be found in the following data protection statement.

Privacy Statement Long Version:

Thank you for your interest in our website. We take the protection of your personal data and their confidential treatment very seriously. Your data will be processed exclusively within the legal framework of the data protection provisions of the European Union, particularly the General Data Protection Regulation (hereinafter: “GDPR”). This data protection statement provides you with information about the processing of your personal data and your data protection rights when using our website.

If you have any questions or suggestions about data protection, please feel free to contact us.

2. Object of data protection

The object of data protection is personal data. Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (a so-called data subject, Art. 4 (1) GDPR). This includes details such as the name, postal address, email address and phone number, though other details are also necessarily created while using our website, such as the beginning, end and extent of use.

3. Type, scope, purposes and legal basis for data processing

Below you will find an overview of the type, scope, purposes and legal basis of data processing on our website.

3.1 Provision of our website

When you access our website on your device, we process the following data:

Date and time of access
Duration of visit
Operating system
Volume of data sent
Type of access
IP address
Domain name

We process these data on the basis of Article 6 (1) point of GDPR, as they are necessary for us to provide our website, to ensure technical operation, and to investigate and remove malfunctions. It is in our interest to ensure the use and technical operability of our website. These data are automatically processed when our website is accessed as a requirement to use our services. We erase these data 26 months, unless exceptional circumstances warrant that we need them for a longer period. Under such circumstances we will erase the data as soon as they are no longer required.

3.2 Contact form

You have the option of contacting us through a form. If you use the contact form on our website, the following details are mandatory and will be marked as such: name, email address, and country of residence. The data serves the sole purpose of meeting your request for contact. We process these data on the basis of Article 6 (1) point of GDPR. The sole purpose of processing your data is to deal with your contact request. As soon as your contact request has been concluded, we will erase the data we have collected via the contact form. Any personal data that were additionally collected during the sending process are erased if they are no longer required for the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.

3.3 Social plug-ins

This website uses social plug-ins from the following social media companies:

Twitter, operated by Twitter, Inc. 1355 Market St suite 900, San Francisco, CA 94103, United States
Facebook, operated by Facebook, Inc. 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, United States
Instagram, operated by Facebook, Inc. 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, United States
LinkedIn, operated by Microsoft Corporation, 1000 W Maude Ave, Sunnyvale, CA 94085, United States

When you click on a social media button, your browser uses the relevant social plug-in to set up a direct connection to the server of the relevant social network. We have no influence on the scope of the data which is collected by the social media operators in this way. The operators process the information that you have called up our website. If you are logged into one of the social media platforms at that time, the operator can match up your account with the relevant social media site. If you then also interact with the social plug-in by clicking “Like” or “Share”, the relevant social media site will process that information. Even if you are not a member of one of these social media platforms, it is possible for them to find out your IP address through the social plug-in, and possibly store this information. Further information about the scope and purpose for which data is processed, collected, and used by the social media companies, as well as your rights in this respect and the setting options, can be found in each company’s data protection policy:

If you do not want social media to collect data via our website, avoid clicking on the social media buttons. In addition, you can block social plug-ins via add-ons in your browser.

3.4 Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google Inc. (hereinafter: “Google”). Google Analytics uses cookies (see clause 5), i.e. text files which are saved to your computer and allow us to analyse your use of the website. The information that is created by cookies on your use of our website is usually sent to a Google server in the United States, where it is then stored. However, if you are within the Member States of the European Union or other parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area and have activated IP anonymization for this website, your IP address will not be sent without first being truncated by Google. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be sent to a Google server in the United States and then truncated there. Acting on behalf of the site operators, Google will use this information to analyse your use of the website, to create reports on website activities for us as site operators, and to provide us with other services connected with website and internet use. Google will not link the IP address which Google Analytics sends via your browser with any other data they may have.

We use Google Analytics to analyse use of our website and to improve it at regular intervals. The statistical data we receive in this way helps us to improve our website and to make it more interesting for you as a user.

The legal basis for the use of Google Analytics is Article 6 (1) point a GDPR, i.e. your consent. Any data that we send, and which is linked to cookies, user IDs or advertising IDs, is automatically erased after 14 months. Any data that has reached the end of its retention period is automatically erased once a month.

You can prevent the storage of cookies through your cookie settings. Please note, however, that if you do so, you may not be able to use all the functions of this website in full.

If websites and services by other site owners are linked to this website, they have been and will continue to be designed and supplied by third parties. Additionally, third-party sites linked to this website may have their own cookies which are installed on your device to collect personal data. We have no influence on the design, content, function, or cookie use of third-party services, and we expressly distance ourselves from any content provided by linked third-party sites. You may obtain more information directly from the owners of the third-party websites linked to this site.

5. Cookies

Cookies are small files which are saved to your device via your web browser. We use cookies to provide you with extensive functions, to make our website more user-friendly, and to optimise our website.

Categories of cookies

We use cookies for a variety of purposes and with different functions. We distinguish between cookies based on whether they are mandatory from a technical perspective (by technical requirement), how long they are stored and used (by retention period) and whether they have been set by our website itself or by a third party and, if so, by whom (by cookie providers).

Technical requirement and legal basis

Technically mandatory cookies: We use certain cookies because they are mandatory to ensure that our website and its functions can work in a legally compliant manner. Such cookies are automatically set when the website or a specific function is accessed, unless you have prevented the setting of cookies through your browser settings. Any data collected through the use of such cookies are processed by us on the basis of Article 6 (1) point of GDPR.

Technically non-mandatory cookies: Non-mandatory cookies are set to improve aspects of our website such as convenience and performance or to save certain settings you have made. We also use them to obtain information on the frequency with which certain parts of our website are used, so that we can tailor them more closely to your needs in the future. We do not store technically non-mandatory cookies until you click the relevant box (confirming that you have read our cookie note) and continue to use our website. Any data collected through the use of such cookies is processed by us on the basis of Article 6 (1) point of GDPR.

Retention period

Session-cookies: The most common kind of cookies, session cookies are only required for as long as you access the current service or continue your session. They are either erased or lose their validity as soon as you leave our website or your current session has expired. They are used mainly to retain certain information during your session.

Permanent cookies: Occasionally, cookies are saved for a longer period of time so as, for example, to recognise you when you open our website again at a later point, allowing you to call up saved settings again. This means you can access our website faster and more conveniently, and you don’t have to make certain settings again. Permanent cookies are automatically deleted upon the expiry of a defined period of time following the date on which you visited the site or domain where the cookie was set.

Cookie providers

Third party cookies: So-called third-party cookies are set and used by other providers or websites, for example by operators of web analysis tools. Further details on web analysis tools and range measurement can be found below in this Policy. Third-party providers can also use cookies to display adverts or to integrate social media content, e.g. social plug-ins.

If you do not want cookies to be saved to your device, you can disable the relevant option in the system settings of your browser. Saved cookies can be deleted through the system settings in your browser at any time. Please note, however, that if you do not accept cookies, the functions of our services may be limited.

6. Recipients of personal data

Internal recipients: Access is limited to the JDCRP Communications officer who requires it for the purposes specified under clause 3.

External recipients: We only share your personal data with external recipients outside the Pilot Project if it is required for managing or processing your request, if there is some different legitimate permission, or if you have given us your consent for this purpose.

External recipients may be:

a) Processors

External service providers we use for the provision of services. We carefully select such processors and regularly check them to ensure the safeguarding of your privacy. Service providers may use data for only the purposes we specify.

b) Public bodies

Public authorities and state institutions, such as public prosecutors, courts of law, and fiscal authorities to which we need to send personal data for mandatory legal reasons.

c) Private bodies

Cooperation partners and assistants, to whom data is transmitted on the basis of consent or a mandatory requirement.

7. Data processing in third countries

If data are transmitted to bodies that have their head offices or data-processing locations outside EU member states and outside states forming part of the EEA, we ensure before disclosure that – except for certain legally permitted exceptions – those bodies either have your adequate consent or provide an adequate level of data protection.

8. Retention period

You will find the retention period for personal data in the relevant chapter on data processing. We generally apply the rule whereby we only save your personal data for as long as they are required to fulfil their purposes or – if you have given your consent – until you revoke your consent. If you revoke your consent, we erase your personal data, unless further processing is permitted under the relevant applicable statutory provisions. We also erase your personal data if we are under an obligation to do so on legal grounds.

9. Rights of data subjects

As a data subject you are entitled to the following rights:

Right to information

You have a right to access the data we have stored about you as a person.

Right to rectification and erasure

You can require us to correct inaccurate data or – provided that the legal grounds are in place – to erase your data.

Restriction of processing

Provided that the legal grounds are in place, you can require us to restrict the processing of your data.

Data portability

If you have provided us with data on the basis of a contract or your consent, and as long as there are legal grounds, you can require us to send you the data you gave us in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, or you can require us to send your data to a different controller.

Objection to data processing on the legal basis of “legitimate interest” under Article 6 (1) point f GDPR

If there are reasons arising from your specific situation, you are entitled to object to our processing of your data at any time, provided that such an objection has its legal basis in a “legitimate interest.” If you make use of your right to object, we shall discontinue the processing of your data, unless we can – within the parameters of the law – demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for further processing, outweighing your own rights. To make use of your right to object, please use the contact details specified in clause 1.

Objection to cookies

You can also object to the use of cookies at any time. You will find the relevant details in our notes on cookies in clause 5.

Revocation of consent

If you have given us your consent to the processing of your data, you can revoke the same at any time with future effect. This, however, does not affect the legitimacy of processing your data until the date of revocation.

Right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority

You can also lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority if you believe that the processing of your data has breached the latest applicable law. To do so, you can contact the data protection authority responsible for your place of residence or country, or our data protection authority of the state of Berlin.

Your contact with us

In addition, if you have any questions about the processing of your personal data, your rights as a data subject, or any consent you may have given, please feel free to contact us without incurring any charge. To exercise any of the aforementioned rights, please use the contact form or write to the postal address specified in clause 1. If you do so, please make sure that we can clearly identify you.
