Cookies

Our website may use so-called “cookies”. Cookies are small text files and do not cause any damage to your device. They are stored on your device either temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (persistent cookies). Session cookies are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Permanent cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them yourself or your web browser automatically deletes them.

In some cases, cookies from third-party companies may also be stored on your device when you enter our site (third-party cookies). These enable us or you to use certain third-party services (e.g. cookies to process payment services).

Cookies have different functions. Numerous cookies are technically necessary because certain website functions would not work without them (e.g. the shopping cart function or the display of videos). Other cookies are used to evaluate user behavior or to display advertising.

Cookies that are required to carry out the electronic communication process (necessary cookies) or to provide certain functions you want (functional cookies, e.g. for the shopping cart function) or to optimize the website (e.g. cookies to measure the web audience). are stored on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR, unless another legal basis is stated. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies in order to provide its services in a technically error-free and optimized manner. If consent to the storage of cookies has been requested, the cookies in question will be stored exclusively on the basis of this consent (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR); consent can be revoked at any time.

You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when you close the browser. If cookies are deactivated, the functionality of this website may be restricted.

If cookies are used by third-party companies or for analysis purposes, we will inform you of this separately in this data protection declaration and, if necessary, ask for your consent.

Matomo

The Center for Persecuted Arts uses "Matomo" on this website for statistical analysis. Matomo is an open source tool for analyzing the surfing behavior of our users. With Matomo, no data is transmitted to servers that are beyond the control of the Center for Persecuted Arts.

Matomo does not use cookies and does not store any personal data. Your IP address will be anonymized immediately; this way you remain anonymous as a user. None of the data collected will be passed on to third parties.

The Center for Persecuted Arts sees this analysis as part of its Internet service. It would like to further improve the website and adapt it even more to the needs of users.

Legal basis

The legal basis on which we process user data using Matomo is Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter f of the GDPR.

Purpose of data processing

The processing of anonymous user data enables us to analyze surfing behaviour. This helps us to constantly improve our website and its user-friendliness. By making the IP address anonymous, the interest of the user in the protection of their personal data is sufficiently taken into account.

Duration of storage

The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer required for our recording purposes.

Possibility of objection

You can object to the recording of data in the manner described above in two different ways:

1. You can activate the “Do-not-Track” setting in your browser. Our Matomo system is configured to respect this setting.
2. You can create a so-called opt-out cookie with a mouse click at the bottom of this page. As a result, Matomo will not register your further visits. Please note, however, that the opt-out cookie will be deleted if you delete all cookies.

Vimeo

What is Vimeo?

On our website we use videos from Vimeo, a video portal operated by Vimeo LLC based at 555 West 18th Street, New York, New York 10011, USA. A plug-in enables us to show you interesting video material directly on our website. Certain data can be transferred from you to Vimeo. In this data protection declaration, we explain what data is involved, why we use Vimeo and how you can control the management or prevention of data transmission.

How can I delete my data or prevent data storage?

You always have the option to manage cookies in your browser according to your wishes. For example, if you do not want Vimeo to set cookies and thereby collect information about you, you can delete or disable cookies in your browser settings. Depending on the browser, the procedure differs somewhat. Please note that after deactivating or deleting cookies, certain functions may no longer be fully available. In the "Cookies" section you will find links to instructions for the most common browsers. If you are a registered member of Vimeo, you can also manage the cookies used in the Vimeo settings.

Where and for how long is the data stored?

Vimeo is headquartered in White Plains, New York (USA), but offers its services worldwide. The company uses computer systems, databases and servers in the United States as well as in other countries. Therefore, your data may be stored and processed on servers in the US and other countries. The data is stored by Vimeo until the company no longer has any economic reason for storing it. The data is then deleted or made anonymous.

Legal basis

If you have given your consent to the processing and storage of your data by embedded Vimeo elements, this consent serves as the legal basis for data processing pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). In principle, your data will also be stored and processed on the basis of our legitimate interest in accordance with Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter f of the GDPR in fast and efficient communication with you and other customers and business partners. However, we only use the embedded Vimeo elements if you have given your consent. Vimeo also uses cookies in your browser to save data. We therefore recommend that you read our privacy statement on cookies carefully and consult the privacy statement or cookie policy of the relevant service provider.

Vimeo also processes your data in the USA. We would like to point out that, according to the European Court of Justice, there is currently no adequate level of protection for the transfer of data to the USA. This can pose various risks to the lawfulness and security of data processing.

Vimeo uses so-called standard contractual clauses in accordance with Article 46 paragraphs 2 and 3 of the GDPR as the basis for data processing for recipients in third countries (outside the European Union, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, especially in the USA) or for the transfer of data to such countries. Standard Contractual Clauses (SCC) are model clauses provided by the European Commission that are intended to ensure that your data complies with European data protection standards even if it is transferred to and stored in third countries (such as the USA). Through these clauses, Vimeo commits to comply with the European Union level of data protection when processing your relevant data, even if the data is stored, processed and managed in the USA. These clauses are based on an implementing decision of the European Commission. The resolution and the corresponding standard contractual clauses can be found at the following link: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/dec_impl/2021/914/oj?locale=en

Further information about Vimeo's standard contractual clauses can be found at https://vimeo.com/privacy#international_data_transfers_andcertain_userrights

This data is processed on the basis of Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR if your request is related to the fulfillment of a contract or is necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR) if this was queried.

The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you ask us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions - in particular retention periods - remain unaffected.

If you contact us by e-mail, telephone or fax, your inquiry including all resulting personal data (name, enquiry) will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of processing your request. We do not pass on this data without your consent.

This data is processed on the basis of Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR if your request is related to the fulfillment of a contract or is necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures.

5. Newsletter

Newsletter data

If you would like to receive the newsletter offered on the website, we need an email address from you as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the email address provided and that you agree to receive the newsletter. No further data is collected or only collected on a voluntary basis. We use this data exclusively to send the requested information and do not pass it on to third parties.

The data you provide to us for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter will be stored by us or the newsletter service provider until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and will be deleted from the newsletter distribution list after you unsubscribe from the newsletter or if the purpose no longer applies. We reserve the right to delete or block email addresses from our newsletter distribution list at our own discretion within the scope of our legitimate interest in accordance with Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

After you have been unsubscribed from the newsletter distribution list, your email address may be stored in a blacklist by us or the newsletter service provider in order to prevent future mailings. The data from the blacklist will only be used for this purpose and will not be merged with other data. This serves both your interest and our interest in complying with legal requirements when sending newsletters (legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR). Storage in the blacklist is not limited in time. You can object to the storage if your interests outweigh our legitimate interests.
