2. Data Collection

I. Server Logs

For merely visiting our website and accessing the information contained therein, it is not necessary for you to provide personal data.
When accessing our website, information is automatically sent to the server of our website by the browser used on your device. This information is temporarily stored in a so-called log file. The following information is recorded without your intervention and stored until automated deletion:

  • IP address of the requesting computer,

  • Date and time of access,

  • Name and URL of the accessed file,

  • Website from which access occurred (referrer URL),

  • Browser used and, if applicable, the operating system of your computer as well as the name of your access provider.

The aforementioned data is processed by us for the following purposes:

  • Ensuring smooth connection establishment of the website,

  • Ensuring comfortable use of our website,

  • Evaluation of system security and stability as well as

  • for other administrative purposes.

The legal basis for data processing is (Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. f GDPR). Our legitimate interest follows from the purposes listed above for data collection. In no case do we use the collected data for the purpose of drawing conclusions about your person. Also, this data is not combined with other data sources.

 

II. Statistical Data Collection with WP-SlimStat

To improve the quality of these pages and to control reach, data is collected and processed for creating statistics.

Your IP address is not stored. It is anonymized at the moment of collection. An assignment of statistical data to a person is therefore impossible. The collected data is not transmitted to third parties but is exclusively stored and processed on the web server. The collected data is not combined with other data sources.

For creating statistics, the following data is collected and processed:

  • Domain name of the server

  • Address of the pages you request (URL)

  • Name of your browser and its version

  • Date and time of your visit

  • Operating system of your computer, smartphone or tablet

  • the language you use

  • Screen resolution of your computer, smartphone or tablet

  • Name of the website that links to this page and through which you found this page

  • the links you clicked

  • the duration of your visit to this website

For collecting and evaluating the data, WP-SlimStat is used. You can activate or deactivate data collection via the following links.

 

III. Personal Data

Personal data is only collected if you provide it voluntarily, for example in the context of a contact request or an offer (Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. f GDPR).

Personal data is information about personal or factual circumstances that can be assigned to you easily and clearly. This includes, for example, your name, your address, your telephone number or your email address.

If there is the possibility of entering personal data on our website, we ask you to check for yourself which data you would like to disclose to us. We need the mandatory fields marked as such to process the respective request or your order. Data collected beyond this is voluntary and is used to optimize our service offering and, if applicable, for statistical purposes. In no case will the collected data be sold or otherwise marketed.

 

IV. Transmission of Personal Data

We generally do not pass on personal data to third parties unless this is necessary for contract fulfillment (for example, transmission of address data to a service provider), otherwise permissible under applicable legal provisions, or you have given your consent.

We are partially supported in our business processes by service providers (so-called processors) (e.g. for providing the website or other IT services or for maintenance), who may come into contact with your personal data. These process the personal data purely on our instructions and only for our business purposes. We have bound the processors to us through so-called data processing agreements, which ensure processing according to instructions. The processors only receive access to such personal data that is necessary for fulfilling the respective activity. In particular, these processors are prohibited from processing or using your personal data for other purposes.

If other categories of recipients of personal data arise in the context of future data collections, we will inform you of this at the time of collecting this information for this purpose.

 

3. External Services

Google Maps

This website uses components of “Google Maps” from Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043 USA, hereinafter “Google”.

With each individual call of the “Google Maps” component, a cookie is set by Google to process user settings and data when displaying the page on which the “Google Maps” component is integrated. This cookie is usually not deleted by closing the browser, but expires after a certain time, unless it is manually deleted by you beforehand.

If you do not agree with this processing of your data, there is the possibility to deactivate the service of “Google Maps” and in this way prevent the transmission of data to Google. To do this, you must deactivate the Java Script function in your browser. However, we point out that in this case you cannot use “Google Maps” or can only use it to a limited extent.

The use of “Google Maps” and the information obtained via “Google Maps” takes place in accordance with the Google Terms of Use

http://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/terms/regional.html

as well as the additional terms and conditions for “Google Maps”

https://www.google.com/intl/de_de/help/terms_maps.html.

4. Our Technical Standards

For data transfer, we offer you the so-called SSL security procedure (Secure Socket Layer) in connection with 256-bit encryption. This technology offers the highest security and is therefore used, for example, by banks for data protection in online banking. You can recognize the transmission of encrypted data by the display of a closed key or lock symbol in the lower status bar of your browser.

 

5. Right to Information, Correction, Blocking and/or Deletion of Your Data

You have a right to free information about your stored data as well as, if applicable, a right to correction, blocking or deletion of your data. You can revoke consent given by you for data collection, processing and use at any time with effect for the future. If you have questions about the collection, processing or use of your personal data, for information, corrections, blocking or deletion of data as well as revocation of given consent, please contact: info@weihnachtsmarkt-berlin.de

 

6. Right to Amendment

WeihnachtsZauber Gendarmenmarkt GmbH reserves the right to change this privacy policy at any time in compliance with legal requirements. This may be the case, for example, to comply with new legal provisions or to take into account new services on our website. We therefore recommend that you regularly inform yourself about our current data protection practices on this website.
