General information on data processing

Purposes and legal basis for the processing of personal data

The purpose of processing is to fulfill the public tasks assigned to us by law. Unless otherwise specified, the legal basis for the processing of your data is Art. 4 (1) of the Bavarian Data Protection Act (BayDSG) in conjunction with Art. 6 (1) (e) of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Accordingly, we are permitted to process the data necessary to fulfill a task incumbent upon us. If you have consented to processing, data processing is based on Article 6(1)(a) GDPR.

Recipients of personal data

If necessary, your data will be transmitted to the competent supervisory and auditing authorities for the purpose of exercising their respective control rights. In order to avert threats to information technology security, log data may be forwarded to the State Office for Information Technology Security on the basis of Art. 44 BayDiG (for more details, see "Logging").

Duration of storage of personal data

Your data will only be stored for as long as is necessary to fulfill the task, in compliance with statutory retention periods.

Your rights

Insofar as we process personal data about you, you as the data subject have the following rights:

• You can request information about whether we process your personal data. If this is the case, you have the right to obtain information about this data and other information related to the processing (Art. 15 GDPR). Please note that this right to information may be restricted or excluded in certain cases (see in particular Art. 10 of the Bavarian Data Protection Act - BayDSG).
• If incorrect personal data is processed, you have the right to have it corrected (Art. 16 GDPR).
• If the legal requirements are met, you may request the erasure or restriction of processing (Articles 17 and 18 GDPR). However, the right to erasure under Art. 17 (1) and (2) GDPR does not apply if the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority (Art. 17 (3) (b) GDPR).
• If you have consented to the processing and the processing is based on this consent, you can revoke your consent at any time for the future. The lawfulness of the data processing carried out on the basis of the consent until revocation is not affected by this.
• You have the right to object to the processing of your data at any time for reasons arising from your particular situation (Art. 21 GDPR). If the legal requirements are met, we will no longer process your personal data.

Further restrictions, modifications, and, where applicable, exclusions of the aforementioned rights may arise from the General Data Protection Regulation or national legislation. You can also obtain more detailed information on these rights from our data protection officer.

Right to Lodge a Complaint with the Supervisory Authority

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Bavarian Data Protection Commissioner. You can contact them using the following contact details:

Technical implementation

Log files

Each time our website is accessed, our system automatically collects data and information from the user's computer system.
In this context, the following data are collected:

• Anonymised IP address of the requesting computer
• Date and time of the request
• Name of the retrieved file
• Address (URL) of the website from which the file was requested
• Data volume transmitted
• Access status (file transferred, file not found, etc.)
• Description of the type of web browser and/or operating system used

The data stored are required exclusively for technical or statistical purposes; no comparison with other data or disclosure to third parties occurs, not even in part. The data are stored in our system's log files. This is not the case for the user's IP addresses or other data that make it possible to assign the data to a specific user: before data are stored, each dataset is anonymised by changing the IP address. These data are not stored together with other personal data .

To avert threats to information technology security, the State Office for Information Security may collect this data and analyze it automatically pursuant to Section 44 of the BayDiG.

SSL Encryption

This website uses SSL encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as enquiries you send to us as the website operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the browser address line changing from http:// to https:// and by the lock symbol in your browser bar.

When SSL encryption is enabled, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Technical and Organizational Measures

The controller has taken technical and organizational measures to protect your data against loss, destruction, or unauthorized access. In addition, both the controller's employees and any service providers are obliged to maintain confidentiality and comply with data protection regulations.

Cookies

OWe use cookies to ensure the correct technical and functional provision of this information service. Cookies are small text files that are stored on the device you are using.

The legal basis for the storage of information and the processing of personal data using technically necessary cookies is § 25 (2) TDDDG and Art. 6 (1) lit. e GDPR in conjunction with Art. 4 BayDSG.

Technically necessary cookies are only valid for the current session and are automatically deleted as soon as you close your browser.

The use of functional cookies is voluntary. If these cookies are blocked, certain functions may not be available in full.

The legal basis for the use of cookies that are not technically necessary is the consent of the user in accordance with Section 25 (1) TDDDG in conjunction with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR.

All cookies used on the website can be viewed individually, and their permission settings can be modified:

Cookie Preferences

JavaScript

JavaScript is used in our information services. JavaScript is generally optional for assistant-supported forms. However, if JavaScript is disabled, functionality and convenience may be limited.

Electronic mail (email)

Information that you send to us unencrypted by electronic mail (email) may be read by third parties during transmission. As a rule, we cannot verify your identity and do not know who is behind an email address. Legally secure communication by simple email is therefore not guaranteed. Like many email providers, we use filters against unwanted advertising ("spam filters"), which in rare cases may also automatically classify normal emails as unwanted advertising and delete them. Emails containing harmful programs ("viruses") are automatically deleted by us in any case.

If you have concerns about transmitting personal data or other sensitive data, please agree on a suitable encryption method with the recipient (our employees) before transmission, or use postal mail.

Purpose of data processing

For personal data from the input mask of the contact form and those sent by email, this is the case when the respective conversation with you has ended.
