Our website collects the following general data and information each time. This general data and information is stored in the server’s log files. Collected information is
(1) used browser types and versions, (2) the operating system of the accessing system,
(3) the website from which the access to our website occurs, (4) the accessed subsections via our website, (5) the date and time of access, (6) an Internet Protocol address (IP address) and (7) the accessing system's Internet service provider. The data is collected for purely statistical purposes. The legal basis for the processing is Art. 6, para. 1f of the DSGVO.

When using this data and information, we cannot gather personal data from this information.

The processing of personal data by the Studentenwerk Frankfurt am Main always occurs to perform a contract with the affected person or to fulfil possibly pre-contractual measures.

If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal or contractual basis for this, processing only takes place with the consent of the person concerned.

A given consent can be cancelled at any time, whereupon the blocking or deletion of the stored data occurs.

Normally, the Studierendenwerk Frankfurt am Main directly collects personal data from the person concerned. Personal data is solely processed for the purpose of contract implementation or for the purpose described in the consent, and stored for the period required to achieve this purpose. Any further storage only occurs if this is determined by laws or regulations (for example, legal retention obligation).

If the purpose of the processing is omitted or if the retention obligation prescribed by law expires, the personal data is anonymised or deleted. The processing of data takes place exclusively in the Federal Republic of Germany.

We only pass on your data to third parties if this is necessary for implementing a contract with you or if we are legally bound to do so. By the way, we only transfer data if you have authorised us to do so.

An automated decision-making process (Art. 13 para. 2f) does not take place.

The General Data Protection Regulation gives each affected person, inter alia, the right to disclosure, correction, blocking and deletion of their personal data. If you wish to use this right or if you have questions about this data protection declaration, you can always contact our data protection officer (see contact details under item 3) or another employee of the Studierendenwerk Frankfurt am Main.

We use YouTube, represented by Google Ireland Ltd. Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, to integrate videos into our websites.

In principle, cookies are installed on your computer as soon as you have accessed a page with embedded videos and your IP address is stored. On our websites, however, we use YouTube videos with the "extended data protection mode" function. According to Google's privacy policy, no personal data is evaluated as long as you do not watch the video. However, as soon as you start playback of an embedded video by clicking on it, YouTube saves cookies on your device in extended data protection mode, which do not contain any personally identifiable data unless you are currently logged in to a Google service.

We have no knowledge of the subsequent collection and use of your data by YouTube and cannot influence this. You can find more information about this at: www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/

On our website we use Google Maps (API) from Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland. Google Maps is a web service for displaying interactive (land) maps in order to visually present geographical information. By using this service, you will be shown our location and it will be easier for you to find us.

Information about your use of our website (such as your IP address) is transmitted to Google servers and stored there when you call up those sub-pages in which the Google Maps map is integrated, and may also be transmitted to Google LLC servers in the USA. This occurs regardless of whether Google provides a user account via which you are logged in or whether a user account exists. If you are logged in to Google, your data will be directly assigned to your account. If you do not want your data to be associated with your Google profile, you must log out before activating the button. Google stores your data (even for users who are not logged in) as usage profiles and evaluates them. If you do not agree to the future transmission of your data to Google in the context of the use of Google Maps, you have the option of completely deactivating the Google Maps web service by switching off the JavaScript application in your browser. Google Maps and thus also the map display on this website can then not be used.

Detailed information on data protection in connection with the use of Google Maps can be found on the Google website ("Google Privacy Policy"): https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/

We use "Google reCAPTCHA" (hereinafter "reCAPTCHA") on our websites. The provider is Google Ireland Limited ("Google"), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

On this website, we also use the reCAPTCHA function of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("Google"). This function is primarily used to distinguish whether an entry is made by a natural person or is abused by machine and automated processing. The service includes the sending of the IP address and, if applicable, further data required by Google for the reCAPTCHA service to Google and is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO on the basis of our legitimate interest in determining individual personal responsibility on the Internet and the prevention of abuse and spam. The use of Google reCAPTCHA may also involve the transmission of personal data to the servers of Google LLC. in the USA.

Data is collected and stored using the web analysis service software Matomo (www.matomo.org), a service of the provider InnoCraft Ltd., 150 Willis St, 6011 Wellington, New Zealand, ("Matomo") based on our authorised interest in the statistical analysis of user behavior for optimization and marketing purposes in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. From this data, pseudonymised user profiles can be created and evaluated for the same purpose. To this, cookies can be used. Cookies are small text files locally stored in the cache of the visitor's Internet browser. The cookies enable, inter alia, the recognition of the Internet browser. Data collected by Matomo Technology (including your pseudonymised IP address) is processed on our servers. The information generated by the cookie in the pseudonymous user profile is not used to personally identify the visitor of this website or merged with personal data about the bearer of the pseudonym. If you do not agree with the storage and evaluation of this data during your visit, then you can refute the storage and usage any time via following mouse click. In this case, a so-called opt-out cookie is stored in your browser, with the result that Matomo cannot collect any session data.

Please note that the complete deletion of your cookies also deletes the opt-out cookie, which requires you to reactivate this.

This website uses its own "cookies" to increase the user-friendliness ("cookies" are data records sent by the web server to the user's browser and stored there for later retrieval). In our personal "cookies" no personal data is stored. You can generally prevent the use of "cookies" if you deny the storage of "cookies" in your browser.
