Logging (log data)

We store and use information received during your visit to our websites solely for statistical evaluation purposes and for the improvement of our website design. Data concerning specific persons or their individual behaviour is not collected. IP addresses are logged in abbreviated form only.

Data logged when accessing the DEval website is only transmitted to third parties if we are obliged to do so by law or by court decision, or if such transmission is required for legal or criminal proceedings in the event of attacks on DEval's internet infrastructure. This data will not be passed on for other non-commercial or commercial purposes.

Contact

When contacting us via email or social media, the data provided will be stored in order to answer your questions and will only be used for correspondence with you. We erase the data collected in this context when storage is no longer required or restrict processing if legal retention obligations exist.

Our newsletter

With your consent, you can subscribe to our newsletter. We use the so-called double-opt-in procedure for newsletter subscription. This means that after subscribing, we will send you an e-mail to the e-mail address you provided, asking you to confirm your request to receive the newsletter. If you do not confirm your subscription, your information will be blocked and automatically erased. In addition, we store your IP addresses and the times of subscription and confirmation. The purpose of this procedure is to verify your subscription and possibly to clarify any potential misuse of your personal data.

The only compulsory information for the newsletter is your e-mail address and your name. After receiving your confirmation, we will store your e-mail address for the purpose of sending the newsletter. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. a GDPR.

You can revoke your consent to receive the newsletter and unsubscribe at any time. You can declare your revocation by clicking on the link provided in each e-mail regarding the newsletter, or by sending an e-mail to datenschutz(at)deval.org.

Presence in social networks (social media)

We maintain online presence in social networks and process user data within this framework in order to communicate with active users or to provide information about us.

We would like to point out that user data may be processed outside the territory of the European Union. This may result in risks for users as it could make it more difficult to enforce user rights, for instance.

Furthermore, user data within social networks is usually processed for market research and advertising purposes. Data may also be stored in the usage profiles no matter what devices are used by the users (in particular if the users are members of the respective platforms and are logged in there).

For detailed presentation of the respective processing forms and objection options (Opt-Out), we refer to the data protection declarations and the information provided by the respective network operators.

Services and service providers used:

Plugins and embedded functions and content

We incorporate functional and content elements into our website that are obtained from the servers of their respective providers (hereinafter referred to as “third-party providers”). This may, for example, include graphic content, videos or city maps (hereinafter uniformly referred to as “content”).

The incorporation always assumes that the third-party providers of this content process the users’ IP address, since they would not be able to send any content to their browser without the IP address. Therefore, the IP address is necessary to display said content or functions. We attempt to only use content in the case that the respective providers use the IP address for the sole purpose of delivering the content.
