Data processing

We take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this data protection declaration.

When you visit our website, our server collects the following information from your end device: browser type and version, operating system used, previously visited Internet page (“referrer”), host name of the accessing computer, IP address and time of the page call.

We collect and process this data in order to ensure the trouble-free operation of our website and to detect, prevent and track any misuse of our services. Furthermore, we use the collected data for statistical purposes, for example to evaluate which end devices and browsers are used to call up our website in order to continuously adapt and improve our services to the needs of users on this basis.

This data processing is based on Article 6 paragraph 1 letter f GDPR.

Communication by e-mail

If you send us a message by e-mail, we store your message with the sender data transmitted with it (name, e-mail address and if necessary other information added by your e-mail program and the transmitting servers). To receive, store and send e-mails, we use an e-mail provider who acts for us as a processor in accordance with Article 28 GDPR.

The legal basis for this data processing is our legitimate interest in being able to answer your message and also to respond to any follow-up questions you may have (Article 6 paragraph 1 letter f GDPR).

We would like to point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g. communication by e-mail) can be subject to security gaps. A complete protection of the data against access by third parties is not possible.

Subscription to newsletters

When you sign up for any of our newsletters from us by completing the newsletter sign up form, we collect your email address and, in case of OPIN community mailings, your first and last name. We will also record the time and date of completion.

We use two third-party services to send out our e-newsletters and administer our mailing list: Omnisend for the general newsletter and Newsletter2go for OPIN Community mailings.

Their privacy policies are availabel here:

Ominsend: https://www.omnisend.com/privacy/

Newsletter2Go: https://www.newsletter2go.com/data-protection/

Information you submit to subscribe for our newsletters may be stored outside the European Economic Area, for example in the United States of America.

The general newsletter will be sent out approximately every two to four months for the duration of the DIGY Project and an additional 3 months (until December 2022). The data submitted for the general newsletter will be deleted 3 months after the finishing of the DIGY project.

The mailings to the OPIN community will be send out occasionally, approximately every two to four months. As the OPIN Community is supposed to exist after the end of the DIGY Project, the data submitted in the subscription forms for the community mailings will stored for as long as the OPIN community exists if you do not revoke your consent. You can unsubscribe from newsletters at any time by clicking on the unsubsribe buttons in the emails or by sending an email to digy@nexusinstitut.de.

You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser line.

If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
