Data protection
Scope
In accordance with the Federal Data Protection Act and the Telemedia Act, this data protection declaration is intended to inform the users of this website about the nature, scope and purpose of the collection and use of personal data by the Stiftung Regionales Gründerzentrum Reinach.
The website operator takes your data protection very seriously and treats your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory regulations.
Please bear in mind that data transmission on the Internet can always be subject to security vulnerabilities. Full protection against access by third parties is not possible.
Access data, purpose, aim of data storage
The website operator or page provider (Cyon GmbH) collects data on accesses to the page and stores this as “server log files”. This information is also collected via statistical software (Google Analytics). The following data is logged in this way:
- Visited website
- Time at the time of access
- Amount of data sent in bytes
- Source/reference from which you came to the page
- Browser used
- Operating system used
- IP address used
The data collected is only used for statistical purposes and to improve the website. However, the website operator reserves the right to check the server log files retrospectively if there are concrete indications of illegal use.
Duration of data storage
In order to be able to make a serious statistical analysis, the data must be stored for up to 10 years. Depending on the predefined intervals, the data (log files) may be deleted by the hoster after just 10 days.
Handling of personal data
The website operator only collects, uses and discloses your personal data if this is permitted by law or if you consent to the data collection.
Personal data is any information that can be used to identify you personally and that can be traced back to you – for example, your name, e-mail address and telephone number.
Handling of contact data
If you contact the website operator using the contact options provided, your details will be stored so that they can be used to process and respond to your enquiry. This data will not be passed on to third parties without your consent.
Handling of comments and contributions
Personalised enquiries via the website using the contact form or writing a comment, your IP address will be stored. This is for the security of the website operator: if your text violates the law, they would like to be able to trace your identity.
Cookies
This website uses cookies. These are small text files that are stored on your terminal device. Your browser accesses these files. The use of cookies increases the user-friendliness and security of this website. Current browsers offer the setting option of not allowing cookies. Note: It is not guaranteed that you will be able to access all functions of this website without restrictions if you make the corresponding settings.
Google Analytics
This website uses the “Google Analytics” service provided by Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA) to analyse website usage by users. The service uses “cookies” – text files that are stored on your terminal device. The information collected by the cookies is usually sent to a Google server in the USA and stored there.
IP anonymisation is used on this website. The IP address of the user is shortened within the member states of the EU and the European Economic Area. This shortening eliminates the personal reference of your IP address. Under the terms of the data sharing agreement between the website operators and Google Inc., Google Inc. uses the information collected to evaluate website usage and activity and to provide services relating to internet usage.
You have the option of preventing the cookie from being stored on your device by making the appropriate settings in your browser. It is not guaranteed that you will be able to access all functions of this website without restrictions if your browser does not allow cookies.
Furthermore, you can use a browser plug-in to prevent the information collected by cookies (including your IP address) from being sent to and used by Google Inc.
