Data privacy / Terms of participation

Protecting your personal data is very important to us. Therefore, we process your data exclusively on the basis of all applicable legal regulations. With this privacy policy we inform you about the most important aspects of data processing on our website. This privacy policy does not apply to other providers we refer to through links on our pages, and as such we assume no liability for their content as well as the use and processing of data by them.

Contacting us

If you contact us by e-mail, your details will be stored in order to process your request and follow-up questions. We will not share this information without your consent.

Cookies

Our website uses so-called cookies, small text files that are stored on your device’s browser, which are harmless. We use cookies to make your experience user-friendly. Some cookies remain stored on your device unless you delete them. They allow us to recognize your browser on your next visit. If you prefer, you can set up your browser to only allow the use of cookies in individual cases. However, disabling cookies may limit the functionality of our website.

Google Analytics

We use the functions of the Google Analytics service provided by Google Inc., Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

Google Analytics uses cookies. The information generated by these cookies about the online use of the users is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. Google uses this information, within our agreement according to Art.28 of the GDPR, to evaluate users’ use of our online offerings, to compile reports on the activities within these online offerings, and to provide us with other services related to online offerings and internet usage. In these cases, pseudonymous usage profiles of users can be created from the processed data.

We only use Google Analytics with activated IP anonymization. This means that the IP address of the users will be shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be sent to a Google server in the US and shortened there. The IP address submitted by the user’s browser will not be merged with other data provided by Google.

This data processing is based on our legitimate interests (Art. 6 (1) lit f GDPR), which is the improvement of our online offer using the collected anonymous data.

With the following information we will inform you about the content of our newsletter as well as the registration, shipping and statistical evaluation procedures, and your right of objection. By subscribing to our newsletter you agree to receive it and the procedures described.

Content of the Newsletters

We send newsletters, e-mails and other electronic notifications with advertising information (hereinafter “Newsletter”) only with the consent of the recipient or with legal permission. If the contents of a Newsletter are accurately described, they are relevant for the consent of the users. Our newsletters mainly contain information on current projects and contributions on the topic of digital media.

Double-Opt-In and Logging

The registration for our newsletter requires a so-called double opt-in procedure. After registration you will receive an e-mail asking you to confirm your registration. This confirmation is necessary so that nobody can register with external e-mail addresses.

The registration for the Newsletter will be logged, in order to prove the registration process according to all legal requirements. This includes the storage of the login and the confirmation time, as well as the IP address. Likewise, changes to your data stored with “eyepin” will be logged.

Use of the Service Provider “eyepin”

The Newsletter is sent by “eyepin”, a newsletter shipping platform of eyepin GmbH, Billrothstraße 52, 1190 Vienna, Austria.

The e-mail addresses of our newsletter recipients, as well as any other data associated with them, are stored on eyepin`s servers. eyepin uses this information to send and evaluate the newsletters on our behalf. However, eyepin does not use the data of our newsletter recipients in order to contact them or to pass this data on to third parties.

We have concluded an agreement with eyepin according to Art. 28 of the GDPR. This is a contract in which eyepin committed to protect the data of our users on our behalf, in accordance with its privacy policy, and specifically agrees to not pass this information onto third parties. You can see eyepin’s privacy policy here.

Registration Data

Entering your e-mail address is all that is needed to subscribe to the Newsletter.

Statistical Surveys and Analyses

The Newsletters contain so-called counting pixels. A counting pixel is a miniature graphic that is embedded in emails that are sent in HTML format to enable log file recording and log file analysis. This allows a statistical evaluation on the success or failure of online marketing campaigns. The embedded pixel lets us know if and when an email was opened. Furthermore, via the Newsletter tracking, which links in the e-mail were accessed by the recipient can be ascertained.

For technical reasons, this information can be assigned to individual Newsletter recipients. However, it is neither our endeavour nor that of eyepin to observe individual users. These evaluations serve us in recognizing the reading habits of our users, and allow us to adapt our content to them or to send different content according to their interests. This personal data will not be disclosed to third parties.

eyepin Website

The Newsletters contain a link to eyepin‘s website. In this context, we must point out that cookies are used on eyepin’s website and thus personal data processed by eyepin, its partners and service providers, can be used by Google Analytics, for example. We have no influence on this data collection. Further information can be found in eyepin‘s privacy policy. We can also refer you to the possibility of objecting to data collection for advertising purposes on the following websites: http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ and http://www.youronlinechoices.com/ (for the European Area).

Termination/Revocation

You can terminate your subscription to our Newsletter at any time, i.e. revoke your consent. At the same time, your consent to it being sent via eyepin and all statistical analyses will lapse. After a revocation, no further data will be collected and the address will be placed on a blacklist to document the deregistration and prevent further submissions. A link to cancel the newsletter can be found at the end of each Newsletter.

Legal Basis

Data processing is based on your consent as per (Art. 6 (1) lit a GDPR).
