Your Privacy Settings

You can view and modify all the privacy settings you have made in this browser here.

General

As the operator of this website and as a company, we come into contact with your personal data. This refers to all data that can say something about you and with which you can be identified. In this privacy policy, we would like to explain to you how, for what purpose, and on what legal basis we process your data.

The responsible party for data processing on this website and in our company is:

City of Dresden, Department of Culture and Heritage Protection

General Information

SSL or TLS Encryption

When you enter your data on websites, place online orders, or send emails over the internet, you should always expect that unauthorized third parties might access your data. There is no complete protection against such access. However, we do everything in our power to protect your data as best as possible and to close any security gaps whenever possible.

An important protection mechanism is the SSL or TLS encryption of our website, which ensures that the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties. You can recognize the encryption by the lock icon before the entered internet address in your browser and by the fact that our internet address starts with https:// and not with http://.

How long do we store your data?

At certain points in this privacy policy, we will inform you about how long we or the companies that process your data on our behalf store your data. If such a specification is missing, we will store your data until the purpose of the data processing no longer applies, you object to the data processing, or you withdraw your consent to the data processing.

In the event of an objection or withdrawal, we may continue processing your data if at least one of the following conditions is met:

We have compelling legitimate grounds for continuing the data processing, which outweigh your interests, rights, and freedoms (only in the case of objection to data processing; if the objection is against direct marketing, we cannot present compelling reasons).

The data processing is necessary to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims (this does not apply if your objection is against direct marketing).

We are legally obligated to retain your data.

In this case, we will delete your data as soon as the requirement(s) no longer apply.

We have appointed a data protection officer for our company:

Data Protection Officer of the City of Dresden
An der Kreuzkirche 6, 2nd floor, Room 231

Other Rights

Revocation of Your Consent to Data Processing

Many data processing activities are carried out based on your consent. You give this consent, for example, by ticking the relevant box in online forms before submitting the form or by allowing certain cookies when you visit our website. You can revoke your consent at any time without providing reasons (Art. 7(3) GDPR). You will find all available settings in the Consent Banner for this website. From the time of the revocation, we may no longer process your data. The only exception is if we are legally required to retain the data for a certain period. Such retention periods exist, particularly in tax and commercial law.

Right to Lodge a Complaint with the Competent Supervisory Authority

If you believe that we are violating the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), you have the right under Art. 77 GDPR to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. You can contact a supervisory authority in the member state of your residence, your workplace, or the location where the alleged violation occurred. The right to lodge a complaint is in addition to administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to Data Portability

Data that we process automatically based on your consent or in the fulfillment of a contract must be provided to you or a third party in a commonly used machine-readable format upon request. We can only transfer the data to another controller if technically possible.

Right to Information, Deletion, and Correction of Data

Under Art. 15 GDPR, you have the right to receive information free of charge about which personal data we have stored about you, where the data comes from, to whom we transmit the data, and for what purpose the data is stored. If the data is incorrect, you have the right to request correction (Art. 16 GDPR), and under the conditions of Art. 17 GDPR, you may request that we delete the data.

Right to Restriction of Processing

In certain situations, you can request under Art. 18 GDPR that we restrict the processing of your data. The data may then only be processed as follows (except for storage):

  • with your consent
  • for the assertion, exercise, or defense of legal claims
  • for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person
  • for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a member state

The right to restriction of processing applies in the following situations:

  • You have disputed the accuracy of the personal data we hold about you, and we need time to verify this. Here, the right applies for the duration of the review.
  • The processing of your personal data has been unlawful or was unlawful in the past. Here, the right applies as an alternative to deleting the data.
  • We no longer need your personal data, but you need it to exercise, defend, or assert legal claims. Here, the right applies as an alternative to deleting the data.
  • You have lodged an objection under Art. 21(1) GDPR, and now we need to weigh your and our interests against each other. Here, the right applies as long as the outcome of the balancing test has not yet been determined.

External Hosting

Our website is hosted on a server by the following internet service provider (host):

Maxity Deutschland GmbH
Prager Str. 2b
01069 Dresden

Has a contract for data processing been concluded with the host?
Yes

How do we process your data?

The host stores all the data from our website. This includes all personal data that is automatically collected or entered by you.

In the data processing, Maxity Deutschland GmbH adheres to our instructions and processes the data only to the extent necessary to fulfill the service obligations to us.

Data Collection on This Website

Use of Cookies

Our website places cookies on your device. These are small text files used for various purposes. Some cookies are technically necessary for the website to function at all (necessary cookies). Others are required to perform specific actions or functions on the site (functional cookies). For example, without cookies, it would not be possible to use the benefits of a shopping cart on an online store. Other cookies are used to analyze user behavior or optimize advertising efforts. If we use third-party services on our website, e.g., for processing payment transactions, these companies may also leave cookies on your device when you visit the site (so-called third-party cookies).

How do we process your data?

Session cookies are stored on your device only for the duration of a session. Once you close the browser, they disappear automatically. Permanent cookies, on the other hand, remain on your device unless you delete them yourself. This can lead, for example, to your user behavior being analyzed permanently. You can control how your browser handles cookies through your browser settings:

  • Do you want to be informed when cookies are placed?
  • Do you want to exclude cookies generally or for certain cases?
  • Do you want cookies to be automatically deleted when closing the browser?

If you disable or do not allow cookies, the functionality of the website may be limited.

If we use cookies from other companies or for analytical purposes, we will inform you about this within this privacy policy. We will also ask for your consent in this regard when you visit our website.

On what legal basis do we process your data?

We have a legitimate interest in ensuring that our online offerings can be used by visitors without technical issues and that all desired functions are available to them. Therefore, the storage of necessary and functional cookies on your device is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. We use all other cookies based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR, provided you give us your consent. You can revoke this consent at any time with effect for the future. If you have consented to the placement of necessary and functional cookies, the storage of these cookies will also occur solely based on your consent.

Server Log Files

Server log files log all requests and access to our website and record error messages. They also include personal data, especially your IP address. However, the provider anonymizes this data after a short time so that we cannot assign the data to your person. The data is transmitted automatically by your browser to our provider.

How do we process your data?

Our provider stores the server log files to be able to trace activities on our website and detect errors. The files contain the following data:

  • Browser type and version
  • Operating system used
  • Referrer URL
  • Hostname of the accessing computer
  • Time of the server request
  • IP address (if applicable, anonymized)

We do not combine this data with other data but use it solely for statistical evaluation and improvement of our website.

On what legal basis do we process your data?

We have a legitimate interest in ensuring that our website operates without errors. It is also our legitimate interest to obtain an anonymized overview of access to our website. Therefore, the data processing is lawful under Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR.

Analytics Tools and Advertising

We use the following tools to analyze the behavior of our website visitors and show them advertisements.

Matomo Analytics (locally installed)

How do we process your data?

We are always interested in optimizing our web offerings for users and placing ads optimally. Matomo Analytics, an open-source tool, helps us with this by analyzing user behavior and providing us with the necessary data for adjustments. We have configured Matomo to ensure that it does not store cookies or personal data that could be used to identify a visitor. Matomo records page views, the region they come from, IP address, referrer, browsers, and operating systems used. The tool can also measure if our website visitors perform certain actions (e.g., clicking on links or making purchases). After anonymizing your IP address, the collected data is stored exclusively on our server.

On what legal basis do we process your data?

As website operators, we have a legitimate interest in the anonymized analysis of user behavior to optimize our web offering and the ads placed there. Therefore, the data processing is lawful under Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR.
