General information on data processing

1. Scope of processing of personal data

In principle, we only process the personal data of our users to the extent that this is necessary to provide a functional website and our content and services. The processing of personal data of our users takes place regularly only with the consent of the user. An exception applies in such cases in which it is not possible to obtain prior consent for actual reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by statutory provisions.

​

2. Legal basis for processing personal data

Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for the processing of personal data, Article 6 (1) (a) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis.

Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing of personal data required to fulfill a contract to which the data subject is a party. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures.

Insofar as processing of personal data is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Article 6 (1) (c) GDPR serves as the legal basis.

In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Article 6 Paragraph 1 lit. d GDPR serves as the legal basis.

If the processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and if the interests, fundamental rights and fundamental freedoms of the person concerned do not outweigh the first interest, Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter f GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing.

​

3. Data Erasure and Storage Duration

The personal data of the person concerned will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies. Storage can also take place if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in EU regulations, laws or other regulations to which the person responsible is subject. The data will also be blocked or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the standards mentioned expires, unless there is a need for further storage of the data for the conclusion or fulfillment of a contract.

Processing of your personal data and type and purpose of processing

1. Website log files

The following information is recorded without the user having to do anything and is stored until it is automatically deleted:

  • IP address of the requesting computer,

  • name and URL of the retrieved file,

  • Website from which access is made (referrer URL) and

  • browser used and, if applicable, the operating system on the user's computer as well as the name of the access provider used by the user.

The data mentioned are stored and processed by our web hosting provider for the following purposes:

  • Ensuring a smooth connection establishment of the website,

  • Ensuring comfortable use of our website,

  • Evaluation of system security and stability as well

  • for other administrative purposes.

The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest or that of our web hosting provider is solely based on the data collection purposes listed above.

​

2. Contact form and email contact

For questions of any kind, we offer our users the opportunity to contact us using a form provided on the website. It is necessary to provide a valid e-mail address so that we know who sent the request and can answer it. Further information can be provided voluntarily.

Data processing for the purpose of contacting us takes place in accordance with Article 6 Paragraph 1 Clause 1 Letter a GDPR on the basis of your voluntarily given consent.

​

3.Subscription to our newsletter

If the user has expressly consented in accordance with Article 6 Paragraph 1 Clause 1 Letter a GDPR, we will use the user's e-mail address to regularly send the user our newsletter. Providing an email address is sufficient to receive the newsletter.

If the user registers for our e-mail newsletter, we regularly send the user information about our offers. The only mandatory information for sending the newsletter is the e-mail address of the user. The indication of any further data is voluntary and is used to be able to address the user personally. We use the so-called double opt-in procedure to send the newsletter. This means that we will only send the user an e-mail newsletter if the user has expressly confirmed to us that the user consents to the sending of the newsletter. We will then send the user a confirmation e-mail asking the user to click on a corresponding link to confirm that the user would like to receive newsletters in the future.

By activating the confirmation link, the user gives us his consent to the use of personal data in accordance with Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR. When registering for the newsletter, we store the user's IP address entered by the Internet Service Provider (ISP) as well as the date and time of registration in order to be able to trace possible misuse of the user's e-mail address at a later point in time . The data collected by us when registering for the newsletter is used exclusively for advertising purposes by way of the newsletter.

The user can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time via the link provided for this purpose in the newsletter. Alternatively, the user's wish to unsubscribe can also be sent by email to kontakt@codingschule.de at any time. After you have unsubscribed, the user's e-mail address will be deleted immediately from our newsletter distribution list, unless the user has expressly consented to further use of your data or we reserve the right to use data beyond this, which is permitted by law and about which we inform the user in inform of this statement.

Our newsletters contain so-called tracking pixels (web bugs), which we can use to recognize whether and when an e-mail was opened and which links in the e-mail were followed by the personalized recipient. This data is stored by us or MailChimp so that we can optimally tailor our newsletter to the wishes and interests of our subscribers. Accordingly, the data collected in this way is used to send personalized newsletters to the respective recipient. We ask the user to give their consent in this regard as follows:

"By clicking on the confirmation link, you agree that your data and your usage behavior will be electronically stored by the newsletter tracking in order to be able to send you an individualized newsletter. With the revocation of the consent to receive the newsletter, the consent revoked the aforementioned tracking."

Newsletter service provider:

We use the MailChimp component to send our newsletter. MailChimp is a service provided by The Rocket Science Group, LLC, 512 Means Street, Suite 404, Atlanta, GA 30318, USA.

The user data stored when registering for the newsletter (e-mail address, name if applicable, IP address, date and time of your registration) will be transmitted to a server of The Rocket Science Group in the USA and stored there in compliance with the "EU-US Privacy Shield".

Users can find further information on data protection at MailChimp at: http://mailchimp.com/legal/privacy/
