Privacy policy
Essentials
This privacy policy is intended to inform users of this website about the nature, scope, and purpose of the collection and use of personal data by the website operator TRIZ-Campus e.V., Welleröder Str. 51, 34253 Lohfelden.
The website operator takes your data protection very seriously and treats your personal data confidentially and in accordance with legal regulations. As new technologies and the constant development of this website may result in changes to this privacy policy, we recommend that you review the privacy policy at regular intervals.
Definitions of the terms used (e.g., “personal data” or “processing”) can be found in Art. 4 GDPR.
Access data
We, the website operator or page provider, collect data about access to the website on the basis of our legitimate interest (see Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR) and store this data as “server log files” on the website server. The following data is logged:
• Website visited
• Time at the moment of access
• Amount of data sent in bytes
• Source/reference from which you accessed the page
• Browser used
• Operating system used
• IP address used
The server log files are stored for a maximum of 7 days and then deleted. The data is stored for security reasons, e.g. to investigate cases of misuse. If data must be retained for evidentiary reasons, it is exempt from deletion until the incident has been finally clarified.
Reach measurement & cookies
This website uses cookies for pseudonymized reach measurement, which are transmitted to the user’s browser either from our server or from a third-party server. Cookies are small files that are stored on your device. Your browser accesses these files. The use of cookies increases the user-friendliness and security of this website.
If you do not want cookies for reach measurement to be stored on your device, you can object to the use of these files here:
• Network Advertising Initiative cookie opt-out page: http://optout.networkadvertising.org/?c=1#!/
• Cookie deactivation page on the US website: http://optout.aboutads.info/?c=2#!/
• Cookie deactivation page on the European website: http://optout.networkadvertising.org/?c=1#!/
Common browsers offer the option to disable cookies. Please note: If you disable cookies, you may not be able to access all features of this website without restrictions.
Collection and processing of personal data
The website operator collects, uses, and discloses your personal data only if this is permitted by law or if you consent to the collection of data.
Personal data is any information that can be used to identify you and that can be traced back to you—for example, your name, email address, and telephone number.
You can also visit this website without providing any personal information. However, in order to improve our online offering, we store your access data to this website (without personal reference). This access data includes, for example, the file you requested or the name of your Internet service provider. The anonymization of the data means that it is not possible to draw any conclusions about your person.
Handling contact details
If you contact us, the website operator, using the contact options provided, your details will be stored so that they can be used to process and respond to your enquiry. This data will not be passed on to third parties without your consent.
Handling comments and posts
If you leave a post or comment on this website, your IP address will be stored. This is done on the basis of our legitimate interests within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) lit. f. GDPR and serves to ensure our security as website operators: If your comment violates applicable law, we may be prosecuted for it, which is why we have an interest in the identity of the author of the comment or post.
Google Analytics
This website uses the “Google Analytics” service offered by Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA) based on our legitimate interests in optimizing and analyzing our online offering within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) lit. f. GDPR. The service (Google Analytics) uses “cookies” – text files that are stored on your device. The information collected by the cookies is usually sent to a Google server in the USA and stored there.
Google LLC complies with European data protection law and is certified under the Privacy Shield Agreement: https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active
IP anonymization is used on this website. The IP address of users within the member states of the EU and the European Economic Area and in the other signatory states to the agreement is truncated. Only in individual cases is the IP address first transmitted in full to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. This truncation removes the personal reference from your IP address. The user’s IP address transmitted by the browser is not combined with other data stored by Google.
As part of the agreement on order data processing that we as website operators have concluded with Google Inc., Google uses the information collected to evaluate website usage and activity and to provide services related to internet usage.
The data collected by Google on our behalf is used to evaluate the use of our online offering by individual users, e.g., to create reports on website activity in order to improve our online offering.
You can prevent cookies from being stored on your device by adjusting your browser settings accordingly. However, we cannot guarantee that you will be able to access all functions of this website without restrictions if your browser does not allow cookies.
Furthermore, you can use a browser plugin to prevent the information collected by cookies (including your IP address) from being sent to Google Inc. and used by Google Inc. The following link will take you to the corresponding plugin: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de
Alternatively, you can prevent Google Analytics from collecting data about you within this website by clicking on this link (IMPORTANT: insert opt-out link). By clicking on the link above, you will download an “opt-out cookie.” Your browser must therefore allow cookies to be stored. If you delete your cookies regularly, you will need to click on the link again each time you visit this website.

Use of social media plugins from Facebook
Based on our legitimate interest in analyzing, optimizing, and operating our online offering (within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR), this website uses the Facebook social plugin, which is operated by Facebook Inc. (1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, California 94025, USA). The integrations can be recognized by the Facebook logo or the terms “Like,” “Like me,” and “Share” in Facebook’s colors (blue and white).

The website operator has no influence whatsoever on the nature and scope of the data that the plugin transmits to the servers of Facebook Inc. Information on this can be found here: https://www.facebook.com/help/186325668085084

If you use the plugin’s functions—for example, by sharing or “liking” a post—the corresponding information will also be transmitted to Facebook Inc.
