d) Elimination option
You can prevent or restrict the installation of cookies by setting your internet browser. You can also delete cookies that have already been stored at any time. However, the steps and measures required for this depend on the specific internet browser you use. If you have any questions, please use the help function or documentation of your Internet browser or contact its manufacturer or support. In the case of so-called Flash cookies, however, processing cannot be prevented via the browser settings. Instead, you must change the settings of your Flash player. The steps and measures required for this also depend on the specific Flash player you use. If you have any questions, please also use the help function or documentation of your Flash player or contact the manufacturer or user support.
However, if you prevent or restrict the installation of cookies, this may mean that not all functions of our website can be fully used.

If you create a press account with us via our website, we will collect and store the data you enter during registration (e.g. your name, title, institution / department, address, e-mail address and telephone number) exclusively for pre-contractual services, for the fulfilment of the contract or for the purpose of press relations (e.g. to provide you with an overview of your previous orders with us or to be able to offer you the so-called memo function). At the same time, we will store your IP address and the date of your registration along with the time of day. Of course, this data will not be passed on to third parties.

During the further registration process, your consent to this processing will be obtained and reference will be made to this data protection declaration. The data collected by us in this process will be used exclusively for the provision of the press account.
Insofar as you consent to this processing, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR is the legal basis for the processing.

If the opening of the press account also serves pre-contractual measures or the fulfilment of the contract, the legal basis for this processing is also Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR.

In accordance with Art. 7 (3) GDPR, you can revoke the consent you have given us to open and maintain the press account at any time with effect for the future. To do so, you only need to inform us of your revocation.
The data collected in this respect will be deleted as soon as processing is no longer necessary. However, we must observe retention periods under tax and commercial law.

If you send us your enquiries via a contact form or by e-mail, your details from the form or from your e-mail, including the contact data you provide there, will be stored by us to process the enquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We will not pass on this data without your consent.

Legal basis for this processing: Art. 6 para. 1 letter b GDPR, insofar as it concerns pre-contractual measures or the conclusion of a contract, and otherwise Art. 6 para. 1 letter f GDPR (legitimate interest in the efficient processing of enquiries).

If you register for our free newsletter, the data you requested for this purpose, i.e. your email address and - optionally - your name and address, will be transmitted to us. At the same time, we store the IP address of the internet connection from which you access our website as well as the date and time of your registration. During the further registration process, we will ask for your consent to send you the newsletter, describe the content in detail and refer to this data protection declaration. We use the data collected in this process exclusively for sending the newsletter - it is therefore not passed on to third parties in particular.

The legal basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR. In accordance with Art. 7 (3) GDPR, you can revoke your consent to receive the newsletter at any time with effect for the future. To do so, you only need to inform us of your revocation or click on the unsubscribe link contained in each newsletter.

We use Friendly Captcha on our website to check and prevent interactions on our website by automated access, e.g. by so-called bots. This is a service provided by Friendly Captcha GmbH, Am Anger 3-5, 82237 Wörthsee, Germany, hereinafter referred to as “Friendly Captcha”.

This service enables Friendly Captcha to determine from which website a request is sent and from which IP address you are using the so-called Friendly Captcha input box. In addition to your IP address, Friendly Captcha may also collect other information that is necessary for the provision and guarantee of this service.

The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the security of our website and in preventing unwanted, automated access in the form of spam or similar.

We also promote presences on the social networks listed below on our website. The integration takes place via a linked graphic of the respective network. The use of this linked graphic prevents a connection from being automatically established to the respective server of the social network when a website with a social media advertisement is called up in order to display a graphic of the respective network itself. Only by clicking on the corresponding graphic is the user redirected to the service of the respective social network.

After the user has been forwarded, information about the user is collected by the respective network. It cannot be ruled out that the data collected in this way will be processed in the USA.

This is initially data such as IP address, date, time and page visited. If the user is logged into his or her user account of the respective network during this time, the network operator may be able to assign the collected information of the user's specific visit to the user's personal account. If the user interacts via a "Share" button of the respective network, this information may be stored in the user's personal user account and may be published. If the user wants to prevent the collected information from being directly assigned to his/her user account, he/she must log out before clicking on the graphic. In addition, it is possible to configure the respective user account accordingly.

We use Matomo on our website. This is an open source software that allows us to analyse the use of our website. Your IP address, the website(s) of our website that you visit, the website from which you linked to our website (referrer URL), the time you spend on our website and the frequency with which you visit one of our websites are processed.
To collect this data, Matomo stores a cookie on your end device via your internet browser. This cookie is valid for one week. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the analysis and optimisation of our website.

However, we use Matomo with the anonymisation function "Automatically Anonymize Visitor IPs". This anonymisation function shortens your IP address by two bytes so that it is impossible to assign it to you or to the internet connection you are using.

We use YouTube on our website. This is a video portal of YouTube LLC, 901 Cherry Ave, 94066 San Bruno, CA, USA, hereinafter referred to as "YouTube".

YouTube is a subsidiary of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, hereinafter referred to as "Google".

We use YouTube in connection with the "extended data protection mode" function in order to be able to show you videos. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in improving the quality of our website. According to YouTube, the "enhanced data protection mode" function means that the data described in more detail below is only transmitted to the YouTube server when you actually start a video.

Without this "enhanced data protection", a connection to the YouTube server in the USA is established as soon as you call up one of our Internet pages on which a YouTube video is embedded.

This connection is necessary in order to be able to display the respective video on our website via your internet browser. In the course of this, YouTube will at least record and process your IP address, the date and time and the website you visited. In addition, a connection to Google's "DoubleClick" advertising network is established.
If you are logged into YouTube at the same time, YouTube will assign the connection information to your YouTube account. If you would like to prevent this, you must either log out of YouTube before visiting our website or make the appropriate settings in your YouTube user account.

For the purpose of functionality and to analyse user behaviour, YouTube permanently stores cookies on your end device via your internet browser. If you do not agree to this processing, you have the option of preventing the storage of cookies by making a setting in your internet browser. You can find more information on this above under "Cookies".

Google provides further information on the collection and use of data as well as your rights and protection options in this regard in the privacy policy available at: https://policies.google.com/privacy

We use “Podegee” on our website to play our podcast. This is a service provided by Podigee GmbH Revaler Str. 28, 10245 Berlin, hereinafter referred to as “Podegee”. Some of the user data is processed on Vimeo servers.

The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in improving the quality of our website.

If you visit a page of our website in which a podcast is embedded, a connection to the Podegee servers is established to play the podcast. For technical reasons, it is necessary for Podegee to process your IP address. The date and time of your visit to our website are also recorded.

If you are logged in to Podegee at the same time as you visit one of our websites in which a Podegee podcast is embedded, Podegee may assign the information collected in this way to your personal user account there. If you wish to prevent this, you must either log out of Podegee before visiting our website or configure your user account with Podegee accordingly.

Podegee uses the web analysis service Google Analytics for the purpose of functionality and usage analysis. Google Analytics stores cookies on your device via your Internet browser and sends information about the use of our website, in which a Podegee podcast is embedded, to Google. It cannot be ruled out that Google will process this information in the USA.

If you do not agree to this processing, you have the option of preventing the installation of cookies by making the appropriate settings in your Internet browser. Details on this can be found above under “Cookies”.

The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in improving the quality of our website and in Podegee's legitimate interest in statistically analyzing user behavior for optimization and marketing purposes.

Podegee offers further information on the collection and use of data as well as your rights and options for protecting your privacy at https://www.podigee.com/de/ueber-uns/datenschutz/

This website uses Google remarketing technology produced by Google Ireland Ltd. If users visit our website and show interest in our online services, this technology allows us to present users with customised ads on pages associated with the Google Partners network. The ads are displayed using cookies, which are small text files stored on the user’s computer. These files can be used to analyse user behaviour on our website, as well as to offer them targeted product recommendations and interest-based advertising. If you do not wish to receive interest-based advertising, you can deactivate the use of cookies by Google for such purposes by visiting https://www.google.de/settings/ads.

Alternatively, users can disable the use of third-party cookies by visiting the opt-out page operated by the Network Advertising Initiative. By using our services, you indicate your consent to having your data processed by Google in the manner and for the purposes mentioned above. We should note that Google has its own data protection guidelines which are separate from ours. We assume no responsibility or liability for these policies and procedures. Please inform yourself about Google’s privacy policy before using our website.

You can find Google’s privacy policy here: https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/. In addition, we provide our online visitors the chance to change their default settings on the use of cookies and personalised advertising.

Our website uses the Meta Pixel tool in combination with FaceBook ads to track the actions of our website visitors, also known as conversion tracking. This tool is owned by Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland (“Facebook”). The use of Meta Pixel is provided by Art. 6 (1, f) GDPR, i.e. the website operator has a legitimate interest in effective advertising measures including social media.

By using this Facebook technology, we are able to track the behaviour of website visitors after clicking on a Facebook ad that redirects them to our site. This allows us to evaluate the effectiveness of Facebook ads for statistical and market research purposes and to optimise future advertising measures. The data collected is anonymised in the process which prevents us, as the operator of the website; to draw any conclusions about our visitors’ identities. However, the data is stored and processed by Facebook so that a connection to the respective user profile is possible. Moreover, Facebook reserves the right to use the data for its own advertising purposes in accordance with the Facebook Data Policy. This enables Facebook to place ads on Facebook pages and other online media channels. As the website operator, we have no influence on how Facebook uses personal data.

You can find further information on how to protect your personal data on Facebook’s privacy policy page: https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/. You can also deactivate the remarketing function “Custom Audiences” in the ad settings section. To do this, you must be logged into Facebook. If you do not have a Facebook account, you can deactivate usage-based advertising via Facebook on the website of the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance.

Our service provider Seyffert mit Himmelspach GmbH has been granted access to our Facebook Ads system in order to optimise our digital marketing measures. The Bauhaus-Archiv / Museum für Gestaltung has undertaken due diligence in selecting this data processing service provider. It is regularly monitored and obliged to carry out the instructions of the Bauhaus-Archiv / Museum für Gestaltung on the basis of a corresponding service contract. Aside from this service provider, no personal data is forwarded to third parties.
