## **2. Data Processing via the Website**
Your visit to our website is logged. In particular, the following data transmitted to us by your browser are recorded:
* the IP address currently used by your PC or router
* date and time
* browser type and version
* the operating system of your PC
* the pages you have viewed
* name and size of the requested file(s)
* where applicable, the URL of the referring website
These data are collected solely for purposes of data security, for improving our website and for error analysis on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. We reserve the right to use these data in the event of system misuse in order to determine the cause and origin of such misuse and, where appropriate, to initiate legal action. Otherwise, your IP address is evaluated only in anonymised form (shortened by the last three digits).
You may visit our website without providing any personal information.
Please note that data transmission over the Internet (e.g. communication by email) may have security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible. Confidential information should therefore be transmitted to us via alternative means, e.g. by post.

## **Contact**
Personal data (e.g. your name, address or contact details) that you voluntarily provide to us, for example as part of an enquiry or in any other manner, are stored by us and processed solely for the purpose of corresponding with you and only for the purpose for which you have provided these data. Processing is carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest in responding promptly to enquiries from interested parties in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.
---
## **Contact Form**
If you send us enquiries via the contact form, your details from the enquiry form, including the contact data provided there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the enquiry and in case of follow-up questions. These data will not be passed on without your consent.
The processing of the data entered into the contact form is carried out exclusively on the basis of your consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR). You may revoke this consent at any time. An informal email notification is sufficient. The lawfulness of the data processing carried out prior to the revocation remains unaffected.
The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g. after completion of processing your enquiry). Mandatory statutory provisions, in particular retention periods, remain unaffected.
---
## **Newsletter**
Our website offers you the opportunity to subscribe to our newsletter. Which personal data are transmitted to the controller when subscribing to the newsletter results from the input mask used for this purpose.
Mailchimp is used as the newsletter software. Your data are transmitted to Mailchimp. Mailchimp is prohibited from selling your data or using them for purposes other than sending newsletters.
The Institute for Education and Social Innovation informs its customers and business partners at regular intervals by means of a newsletter about the organisation’s offers. The newsletter may only be received if (1) the data subject has a valid email address and (2) the data subject has registered for the newsletter distribution. For legal reasons, a confirmation email using the double opt-in procedure is sent to the email address entered for the first time. This confirmation email serves to verify whether the owner of the email address has authorised receipt of the newsletter. Only after confirmation will the address be actively added to the mailing list.
When registering for the newsletter, we also store the IP address assigned by the Internet service provider (ISP) to the computer system used by the data subject at the time of registration, as well as the date and time of registration. The collection of these data is necessary in order to be able to trace possible misuse of an email address at a later point in time and therefore serves the legal protection of the controller.
The personal data collected as part of a newsletter subscription are used exclusively for sending our newsletter. Subscribers may also be informed by email if this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or for registration-related purposes, such as changes to the newsletter offer or technical changes. No personal data collected in connection with the newsletter service will be passed on to third parties.
The subscription to our newsletter may be cancelled by the data subject at any time. Consent to the storage of personal data granted for newsletter distribution may also be revoked at any time. For this purpose, a corresponding link is included in each newsletter. In addition, it is possible to unsubscribe directly on the controller’s website or to notify the controller by other means.

## **Secure Data Transmission**
To protect the security of your data during transmission, we use encryption methods in line with the current state of the art (SSL) via HTTPS.
---
## **Processing of Data**
We process personal data only to the extent necessary for the establishment, content design or modification of the legal relationship (inventory data). This is done on the basis of Article 6(1)(b) GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures. Personal data concerning the use of our website (usage data) are processed only to the extent necessary to enable or bill the use of the service. Collected customer data are deleted after completion of the order or termination of the business relationship. Statutory retention periods remain unaffected.
---
## **3. Recipients of Personal Data**
For the implementation and processing of data processing operations, we may engage service providers for the purpose of commissioned data processing.
Specifically, we have engaged service providers for newsletter distribution and website hosting.
The contractual relationships with our service providers are governed in accordance with Article 28 GDPR and include the legally required provisions on data protection and data security.
