Section 6 E-mail newsletter

Users are given the opportunity on our website to subscribe to a newsletter. kulturkurier.de, a  system by data kulturlink ag (Berlin), is the newsletter system we use. The so-called double opt-in process is used for a legally compliant and data protection-compliant design. The potential recipient first receives an e-mail with a confirmation link. Until it has been confirmed, the address will not be added to the distribution list. Via the “Unsubscribe Link” at the end of each newsletter, you can revoke your consent to the storage of your data and the use of your address for its dispatch. Please find further information here: http://hilfe.kulturkurier.de/kulturnewsletter/ The personal data transferred to the data controller when ordering the newsletter is determined by the input mask used for this purpose. In addition to the date and time of registration, we also store the data subject’s IP address of the used computer system assigned by the Internet Service Provider (ISP) when registering for the newsletter. To be able to track any (possible) misuse of the data subject’s e-mail address at a later point in time, it is necessary to collect these data, thus providing the data controller with some legal protection. When registering for the newsletter, the personal data collected will be used exclusively for sending our newsletter. Furthermore, subscribers to the newsletter may be informed by e-mail if this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or for registration, as could be the case in the event of changes to the newsletter offer or changes in the technical conditions. The personal data collected in the context of the newsletter service will not be disclosed to third parties. To track opening and click rates, we use so-called tracking codes in the newsletter (but not in the system mails for subscribing and unsubscribing); these record when the newsletter is opened and when web links are visited. By replacing all personal data (e.g. the e-mail address) with a code (pseudonym), the collection is carried out in a pseudonymised storage. As a result, we do not store any personal data together with the usage data, such as opening the newsletters or visiting web links. Furthermore, provision is made that these data cannot be merged at a later date. If, as a recipient, you would like to object to this pseudonymised tracking, you can unsubscribe from the list using the opt-out link at the end of each newsletter.

 

Section 7 Analytics services

Our website uses Piwik, a so-called web analysis service. To help us analyse your use of the website, Piwik uses “cookies” which are text files placed on your computer. For this purpose, the usage information generated by the cookie (including your shortened IP address) is transferred to our server and stored for usage analysis purposes, which in turn serves in optimising our website. To ensure that, as a user, you remain anonymous to us, your IP address is immediately made anonymous during this process. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is not disclosed to any third parties. You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser; however, if you do this, you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website.

If you do not agree to the storage and evaluation of these data from your visit, then you can object to the subsequent storage and use at any time by mouse click. In this case, an opt-out cookie is stored in your browser, which means that Piwik does not collect any session data. Note:  If you erase your cookies, the opt-out cookie will also be erased and you may have to reactivate it.
