Collection of General Information

When you visit this website, information about your access to the site (IP address, date, time, page viewed) is stored. This data (server log files) does not allow for any identification of you personally. This information is necessarily generated when using web services and is used both to ensure the website displays correctly and to maintain system security. It is processed for the following purposes: ensuring a smooth connection and seamless use of the website, ensuring system integrity, and defending against attacks. The processing of personal data is in the legitimate interest of the aforementioned purposes of data collection. The recipients of the data are exclusively the controller and, where applicable, processors. This data is evaluated in anonymized form exclusively for statistical purposes. No data is disclosed to third parties for commercial or non-commercial purposes. We expressly point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g., when communicating via email) involves security vulnerabilities and cannot be completely protected against access by third parties.

Personal Data

When using the website and services of https://buber-korrespondenzen.digital, only the personal data that is strictly necessary is collected. Many features can be used without providing any personal data. To the extent that data is collected, this is done only with your consent.

To enable communication via the contact form, the data entered (name, email address, subject of the inquiry, selected category and message) as well as information regarding the time of the inquiry (timestamp or date sent) are stored together. The information is stored—for as long as necessary—for the further processing of the inquiry and for final documentation purposes (if necessary, reduced to basic details of the inquiry). The basis for forwarding the inquiry and processing it is therefore the consent of the person making the inquiry pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. The documentation of processes within the scope of the research project, however, is based on our own legitimate interest in documentation, i.e., pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

All personal data is stored only for as long as necessary for the respective purpose. Applicable statutory retention periods are observed.

BKD embeds a video hosted on the video-sharing platform ›YouTube‹. on this website. The service is provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

The video is embedded using a two-click solution, whereby a connection to the ›YouTube‹ servers is established and the video is loaded only after an active click.

The project does not receive any information about the content of the data transmitted to ›YouTube‹ or about how the platform provider uses those data.
