Our Pri­vacy Policy

We pro­cess per­son­al data only to the extent neces­sary and for the pur­pose of provid­ing a func­tion­al and user-friendly website.

In accord­ance with Art­icle 4(1) of the Gen­er­al Data Pro­tec­tion Reg­u­la­tion (GDPR) (Reg­u­la­tion (EU) 2016/679), ​‘pro­cessing’ means any oper­a­tion or set of oper­a­tions which is car­ried out on per­son­al data, wheth­er or not by auto­mated means, such as the col­lec­tion, record­ing, organ­isa­tion, the struc­tur­ing, the stor­age, the adapt­a­tion or alter­a­tion, the retriev­al, the con­sulta­tion, the use, the dis­clos­ure by trans­mis­sion, dis­sem­in­a­tion or any oth­er form of mak­ing avail­able, the align­ment or com­bin­a­tion, the restric­tion, eras­ure or destruction.

In the fol­low­ing pri­vacy policy, we inform you in par­tic­u­lar about the nature, scope, pur­pose, dur­a­tion and leg­al basis of the pro­cessing of per­son­al data, inso­far as we, either alone or jointly with oth­ers, determ­ine the pur­poses and means of the pro­cessing . In addi­tion, we provide inform­a­tion below on the third-party com­pon­ents we use for optim­isa­tion pur­poses and to enhance the qual­ity of use, inso­far as this involves third parties pro­cessing data under their own responsibility.

Our Pri­vacy Policy is struc­tured as follows:

I. Inform­a­tion about us as the data controller

II. Rights of users and data subjects

III. Inform­a­tion on data processing

IV. Joint con­trol­lers for the Face­book pro­file and Ins­tagram pro­file of Luth­er­stadt Wit­ten­berg / Luth­er­stadt Wit­ten­berg Mar­ket­ing GmbH

II. Rights of users and data subjects

With regard to the data pro­cessing described in more detail below, users and data sub­jects have the right

  • to receive con­firm­a­tion as to wheth­er data con­cern­ing them is being pro­cessed, to obtain inform­a­tion about the data being pro­cessed, to receive fur­ther inform­a­tion regard­ing data pro­cessing, and to receive cop­ies of the data (see also Art­icle 15 of the GDPR);
  • to have inac­cur­ate or incom­plete data rec­ti­fied or com­pleted (see also Art­icle 16 of the GDPR);
  • to the imme­di­ate eras­ure of data relat­ing to them (see also Art­icle 17 of the GDPR), or, altern­at­ively, where fur­ther pro­cessing is required under Art­icle 17 (3) of the GDPR is required, to restric­tion of pro­cessing in accord­ance with Art­icle 18 of the GDPR;
  • to receive the data relat­ing to them and provided by them, and to have this data trans­ferred to oth­er providers/​data con­trol­lers (see also Art­icle 20 of the GDPR);
  • to lodge a com­plaint with the super­vis­ory author­ity if they con­sider that the data relat­ing to them is being pro­cessed by the pro­vider in breach of data pro­tec­tion pro­vi­sions (see also Art­icle 77 of the GDPR).

Fur­ther­more, the pro­vider is obliged to inform all recip­i­ents to whom data has been dis­closed by the pro­vider of any rec­ti­fic­a­tion or eras­ure of data or the restric­tion of pro­cessing car­ried out pur­su­ant to Art­icles 16, 17(1) and 18 of the GDPR; how­ever, this oblig­a­tion does not apply where such noti­fic­a­tion is impossible or would involve a dis­pro­por­tion­ate effort . Not­with­stand­ing this, the user has the right to be informed about these recipients.

Fur­ther­more, users and data sub­jects have, under Art­icle 21 of the GDPR, the right to object to the future pro­cessing of data relat­ing to them, provided that the data is pro­cessed by the pro­vider in accord­ance with Art­icle 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. In par­tic­u­lar, an objec­tion to data pro­cessing for the pur­poses of dir­ect mar­ket­ing is permissible.

III. Inform­a­tion on data processing

Your data pro­cessed when using our web­site will be deleted or blocked as soon as the pur­pose for which they were stored no longer applies, provided that there are no stat­utory reten­tion oblig­a­tions pre­vent­ing the dele­tion of the data and no con­trary inform­a­tion is provided below regard­ing indi­vidu­al pro­cessing procedures.

Serv­er data

For tech­nic­al reas­ons, in par­tic­u­lar to ensure a secure and stable web­site, data is trans­mit­ted by your web browser to us or to our web host­ing pro­vider and stored in log files (serv­er log files). These so-called serv­er log files con­tain, amongst oth­er things, the type and ver­sion of your web browser, the oper­at­ing sys­tem, the web­site from which you nav­ig­ated to our web­site (refer­rer URL), the website(s) on our website(s) that you vis­it, the date and time of the respect­ive access, the IP address of the inter­net con­nec­tion from which our web­site is accessed, as well as the volume of data trans­ferred and the request­ing provider.

The data col­lec­ted in this way is stored tem­por­ar­ily, but not in con­junc­tion with any oth­er data relat­ing to you.

This stor­age is car­ried out on the leg­al basis of Art­icle 6(1) (f) of the GDPR. Our legit­im­ate interest lies in improv­ing the sta­bil­ity, func­tion­al­ity and secur­ity of our website.

The data will be deleted after sev­en days at the latest, provided that no fur­ther reten­tion is required for evid­en­tial pur­poses. Oth­er­wise, the data is exempt from dele­tion, in whole or in part, until an incid­ent has been fully resolved.

Cook­ies

This web­site uses cook­ies. We use so-called cook­ies on our web­site, for example, to per­son­al­ise con­tent and adverts, to offer social media func­tions and to ana­lyse traffic to our website.

Cook­ies are small text files or oth­er stor­age tech­no­lo­gies that are placed and stored on your device by the web browser you are using. These cook­ies pro­cess cer­tain inform­a­tion about you to a vari­able extent. This pro­cessing makes our web­site more user-friendly, effect­ive and secure, as it enables, for example, the dis­play of our web­site in dif­fer­ent lan­guages or the pro­vi­sion of a shop­ping bas­ket function.

This web­site uses vari­ous types of cook­ies. Some cook­ies are placed by third parties that appear on our pages. Cook­ies may be stored on your device if they are abso­lutely neces­sary for the oper­a­tion of this web­site. For all oth­er types of cook­ies, we require your consent.

The cook­ies we use are cat­egor­ised as follows:

  • Essen­tial (Neces­sary)
  • Stat­ist­ics

You can view details of all cook­ies at any time via the ​‘Cook­ie Set­tings’ icon at the bot­tom right of our web­site, or change or with­draw your consent.

You can pre­vent or restrict the install­a­tion of cook­ies by adjust­ing the set­tings of your web browser. You can also delete cook­ies that have already been stored at any time. How­ever, the steps and meas­ures required to do so depend on the spe­cif­ic web browser you are using. If you have any ques­tions, please use the help func­tion or doc­u­ment­a­tion provided by your web browser, or con­tact its man­u­fac­turer or sup­port team. 

How­ever, if you pre­vent or restrict the install­a­tion of cook­ies, this may mean that not all fea­tures of our web­site are fully accessible. 

Essen­tial cookies

The leg­al basis for data pro­cessing is Art­icle 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. The legit­im­ate interest lies in ensur­ing the web­site func­tions cor­rectly and is user-friendly. The data will be deleted as soon as the pur­pose for which it was col­lec­ted has been fulfilled.

Mat­omo (Stat­ist­ics – Opt-in)

We use Mat­omo (formerly ​‘PIWIK’) on our web­site. This is an open-source web ana­lyt­ics solu­tion that enables us to ana­lyse the use of our web­site. In doing so, your IP address, the page(s) on our web­site that you vis­it, the web­site from which you nav­ig­ated to our web­site (refer­rer URL), the length of time you spend on our web­site, and the fre­quency with which you vis­it one of our web­sites are pro­cessed. To col­lect this data, Mat­omo stores cook­ies on your device via your web browser.

We use Mat­omo to ana­lyse usage pat­terns on our web­site, provided that you have giv­en us your con­sent to do so by agree­ing to the use of the rel­ev­ant Mat­omo cook­ies (stat­ist­ics) via the ​‘Cook­ie Set­tings’ in the bot­tom right-hand corner of our web­site. The leg­al basis for the pro­cessing of your per­son­al data for this spe­cif­ic pur­pose is then Art­icle 6(1)(a) of the GDPR.

You may with­draw your con­sent to the use of the rel­ev­ant cook­ies at any time with future effect, in accord­ance with Art­icle 7(3) of the GDPR. To do so, To do so, you simply need to noti­fy us of your with­draw­al by adjust­ing your con­sent via the ​‘Cook­ie Set­tings’ in the bot­tom right-hand corner of our web­site as appropriate.

We have taken steps to ensure, as far as pos­sible, an appro­pri­ate level of pro­tec­tion for your data. We use Mat­omo with the anonymisa­tion fea­ture ​‘Auto­mat­ic­ally Anonymise Vis­it­or IPs’. This anonymisa­tion fea­ture trun­cates your IP address by two bytes, mak­ing it impossible to link it to you or to the inter­net con­nec­tion you are using . 

You­Tube / You­Tube con­tent (extern­al media)

We use the You​Tube​.com plat­form to upload our own videos and make them pub­licly avail­able. This is a video portal oper­ated by Google Ire­land Lim­ited, Gor­don House, Bar­row Street, Dub­lin 4, Ire­land, a sub­si­di­ary of Google LLC, 1600 Amphi­theatre Park­way, Moun­tain View, CA 94043, USA, here­in­after referred to simply as ​‘You­Tube’.

We have embed­ded You­Tube videos into our web­site which are stored at http://​www​.you​tube​.com and can be played dir­ectly from our web­site. These are all embed­ded in ​‘enhanced pri­vacy mode’, which means that no data about you as a user is trans­mit­ted to You­Tube unless you play the videos. The use of a two-click solu­tion pre­vents a con­nec­tion from being auto­mat­ic­ally estab­lished to the respect­ive serv­er of the third-party pro­vider when you access our web­site, in order to dis­play the extern­al con­tent. You there­fore decide for your­self wheth­er the pro­vider col­lects inform­a­tion about you. Only when you play the videos will the data men­tioned in the next para­graph be trans­mit­ted. We have no con­trol over this data transmission. 

When you vis­it the web­site, You­Tube receives the inform­a­tion that you have accessed the rel­ev­ant page on our web­site. This con­nec­tion is neces­sary to dis­play the rel­ev­ant video on our web­site via your web browser. In the course of this, You­Tube will col­lect and pro­cess at least your IP address, the date and time, and the webpage you have vis­ited. If you are logged in to Google/​YouTube at the same time, Google/​YouTube will asso­ci­ate the con­nec­tion inform­a­tion with your Google/​YouTube account . If you wish to pre­vent this, you must either log out of Google/​YouTube before vis­it­ing our web­site or adjust the rel­ev­ant set­tings in your Google/​YouTube user account . Google/​YouTube stores your data as user pro­files and uses them for the pur­poses of advert­ising, mar­ket research and/​or tail­or­ing its web­site to your needs. Such ana­lys­is is car­ried out in par­tic­u­lar (even for users who are not logged in) to deliv­er per­son­al­ised advert­ising and to inform oth­er users of the social net­work about your activ­it­ies on our web­site. You have the right to object to the cre­ation of these user pro­files; to exer­cise this right, you must con­tact YouTube. 

In the event of the trans­fer of per­son­al data to Google LLC, which is based in the USA, Google relies on EU Stand­ard Con­trac­tu­al Clauses for the rel­ev­ant data trans­fers to ensure com­pli­ance with data pro­tec­tion require­ments when trans­fer­ring per­son­al data from the EEA to so-called third countries.

Access by US author­it­ies to the data stored by Google can­not be ruled out. The trans­fer of per­son­al data to the USA may, in terms of the adequacy of the level of pro­tec­tion, entail vari­ous risks to the law­ful­ness and secur­ity of data pro­cessing, as the USA is cur­rently regarded as a third coun­try from a data pro­tec­tion per­spect­ive. You do not have the same rights there as you do with­in the EU/EEA. In some cases, you may have no leg­al rem­ed­ies avail­able against access by pub­lic authorities.

Fur­ther inform­a­tion on the col­lec­tion and use of data as well as your rights and safe­guards in this regard is provided by Google in the pri­vacy policy avail­able at https://​policies​.google​.com/​p​r​i​v​a​c​y​?​hl=de .

Social media links via graph­ics or text links

We also pro­mote our pres­ence on the social net­works lis­ted below on our web­site. This is done via a linked image from the respect­ive net­work. The use of this linked image pre­vents a situ­ation where, when a web­site fea­tur­ing a social media pro­mo­tion is accessed, a con­nec­tion is auto­mat­ic­ally estab­lished with the respect­ive social network’s serv­er in order to dis­play an image from that net­work itself. It is only when the user clicks on the rel­ev­ant graph­ic that they are redir­ec­ted to the ser­vice of the respect­ive social network.

Once the user has been redir­ec­ted, the respect­ive net­work col­lects inform­a­tion about the user. It can­not be ruled out that the data col­lec­ted in this way may be pro­cessed in the USA.

This ini­tially includes data such as the IP address, date, time and the page vis­ited. If the user is logged into their account on the rel­ev­ant net­work at the time, the net­work oper­at­or may, where applic­able, link the inform­a­tion col­lec­ted dur­ing the user’s spe­cif­ic vis­it to the user’s per­son­al account. If the user inter­acts via a ​‘Share’ but­ton on the rel­ev­ant net­work, this inform­a­tion may be stored in the user’s per­son­al account and, where applic­able, pub­lished. If the user wishes to pre­vent the inform­a­tion col­lec­ted from being dir­ectly linked to their user account, they must log out before click­ing on the graph­ic. In addi­tion, it is pos­sible to con­fig­ure the rel­ev­ant user account accordingly.

Online job applic­a­tions / Pub­lic­a­tion of job advertisements

We offer you the oppor­tun­ity to apply for a job with us via email . In the case of these digit­al applic­a­tions, your applic­ant and applic­a­tion data will be col­lec­ted and pro­cessed elec­tron­ic­ally by us for the pur­pose of hand­ling the applic­a­tion process.

The leg­al basis for this pro­cessing is Sec­tion 26(1), first sen­tence, of the Ger­man Fed­er­al Data Pro­tec­tion Act (BDSG) in con­junc­tion with Art­icle 88(1) of the Gen­er­al Data Pro­tec­tion Reg­u­la­tion (GDPR).

If an employ­ment con­tract is con­cluded fol­low­ing the applic­a­tion pro­cess, we will store the data you provided in your applic­a­tion in your per­son­nel file for the pur­poses of stand­ard organ­isa­tion­al and admin­is­trat­ive pro­cesses – nat­ur­ally in com­pli­ance with any fur­ther leg­al obligations.

The leg­al basis for this pro­cessing is also Sec­tion 26(1), first sen­tence, of the Fed­er­al Data Pro­tec­tion Act (BDSG) in con­junc­tion with Art­icle 88(1) of the Gen­er­al Data Pro­tec­tion Reg­u­la­tion (GDPR).

If an applic­a­tion is rejec­ted, we will auto­mat­ic­ally delete the data provided to us two months after noti­fic­a­tion of the rejec­tion. How­ever, the data will not be deleted if stat­utory pro­vi­sions, for example due to the duty to provide evid­ence under the AGG, require longer reten­tion of up to four months or until the con­clu­sion of leg­al proceedings.

The leg­al basis in this case is Art­icle 6(1)(f) of the GDPR and Sec­tion 24(1)(2) of the BDSG. Our legit­im­ate interest lies in the defence or enforce­ment of our leg­al rights.

If you expressly con­sent to your data being stored for a longer peri­od — for example, for inclu­sion in a data­base of job applic­ants or pro­spect­ive cli­ents — the data will be fur­ther pro­cessed on the basis of your con­sent . The leg­al basis in this case is then Art­icle 6(1)(a) of the GDPR. You may, of course, with­draw your con­sent at any time in accord­ance with Art­icle 7 (3) of the GDPR by noti­fy­ing us, with effect for the future .

Pri­vacy Policy for LWM’s social media pages

Data Con­trol­ler

The fol­low­ing pri­vacy policy provides an over­view of the col­lec­tion and pro­cessing of your data on our pages on the fol­low­ing social media plat­forms (here­in­after ​“social media profiles”):

  • Ins­tagram, here­in­after referred to as ​“Ins­tagram profile”:

https://​www​.ins​tagram​.com/​m​e​i​n​_​w​i​t​t​e​nberg
https://​www​.ins​tagram​.com/​k​a​u​f​l​o​k​a​l​w​i​t​t​e​nberg

Please note that you use our social media pages and their fea­tures, as well as social media plat­forms in gen­er­al, at your own risk. This applies in par­tic­u­lar to the use of inter­act­ive fea­tures (e.g. lik­ing, com­ment­ing, shar­ing, rat­ing). You can find the rel­ev­ant terms of use here: 

You can access the joint pri­vacy policy here: https://​de​-de​.face​book​.com/​a​b​o​u​t​/​p​r​ivacy

In addi­tion to us, the oper­at­or of the social media plat­form (here­in­after referred to as the ​‘Pro­vider’) is also the data con­trol­ler for data pro­cessing on our social media pages (Face­book and Ins­tagram plat­forms), here­in­after also referred to as ​‘Meta’ or ​‘Face­book’.

The oper­at­ors of the social media plat­forms are avail­able to you as your cent­ral point of con­tact. How­ever, you may also exer­cise your rights in rela­tion to pro­cessing car­ried out under joint respons­ib­il­ity dir­ectly with us . Should you con­tact us, we will liaise with the rel­ev­ant pro­vider to respond to your enquiry and ensure your data sub­ject rights are upheld.

Notes

Please note that Meta stores the data of registered users and oth­er inter­ested vis­it­ors to the social media plat­forms, e.g. per­son­al inform­a­tion (regis­tra­tion details, status updates, pho­tos, loc­a­tion etc.) or IP addresses, cook­ies, etc., even out­side the European Uni­on (EU) or the European Eco­nom­ic Area (EEA), and may use this data for its own busi­ness purposes.

We have no influ­ence over the col­lec­tion and use of data by the pro­vider. Fur­ther­more, it is not clear to us what data Meta stores, where and for how long, nor to what extent Meta com­plies with exist­ing dele­tion oblig­a­tions, what ana­lyses and link­ages are car­ried out with the data, and to whom the data is dis­closed. Whenev­er you are logged in with your respect­ive social media account and vis­it our social media pages, the pro­vider may asso­ci­ate this with your profile .

The trans­fer of data to the USA and access by US author­it­ies to the data stored by Meta can­not be ruled out. The trans­fer of per­son­al data to the USA may, in terms of the adequacy of the level of pro­tec­tion, entail vari­ous risks to the law­ful­ness and secur­ity of data pro­cessing, as the USA is cur­rently regarded as a third coun­try from a data pro­tec­tion per­spect­ive. You do not have the same rights there as you do with­in the EU/EEA. In some cases, you may have no leg­al rem­ed­ies avail­able against access by pub­lic authorities.

A joint con­trol­ler agree­ment in accord­ance with Art­icle 26 of the GDPR has been con­cluded, which sets out, amongst oth­er things, how the respect­ive roles and respons­ib­il­it­ies in the pro­cessing of per­son­al data are struc­tured and who ful­fils which data pro­tec­tion obligations .

Inform­a­tion on data processing

LWM oper­ates:

  • the Ins­tagram pro­file of Luth­er­stadt Wit­ten­berg ​‘mein_​wittenberg’, to pub­li­cise the ser­vices and offer­ings of Luth­er­stadt Wit­ten­berg and to inter­act with vis­it­ors to social media plat­forms (here­in­after referred to as ​‘users’).
  • the Face­book pro­file and the Ins­tagram pro­file ​“kau­flokal­wit­ten­berg”, to high­light ser­vices and offers and to inter­act with vis­it­ors to social media plat­forms (here­in­after referred to as ​“users”) .

When using LWM’s social media pro­files, per­son­al data is pro­cessed. The fol­low­ing sec­tion provides inform­a­tion on the nature and scope of the data pro­cessing for which LWM is data con­trol­ler under data pro­tec­tion law in this context. 

LWM does not itself store any per­son­al data relat­ing to your use of the respect­ive social media pages.

Inform­a­tion that you pub­lish on LWM’s respect­ive social media pages (e.g. com­ments) or send via the respect­ive mes­saging ser­vice is stored by the pro­viders on the basis of your user rela­tion­ship and can be removed by you there. 

Pro­cessing of usage data under joint respons­ib­il­ity of Meta and LWM

When you vis­it LWM’s social media pages, Meta uses cer­tain usage data (e.g. wheth­er you have or have com­men­ted on them) to provide LWM with aggreg­ated usage stat­ist­ics (known as ​‘Page Insights’) . Usage stat­ist­ics do not allow con­clu­sions to be drawn about the beha­viour of indi­vidu­al users, but merely provide LWM with an over­view of the use of its social media pages (e.g. which posts were clicked on par­tic­u­larly fre­quently). LWM itself has no access to the per­son­al data pro­cessed for the com­pil­a­tion of the stat­ist­ics . Which user activ­it­ies are logged by Meta on the social media plat­forms is determ­ined solely by Meta and can­not be set up, changed or oth­er­wise influ­enced by LWM.

LWM obtains usage stat­ist­ics from Meta regard­ing its respect­ive social media pages in order to improve the posts pub­lished there and to make them as inter­est­ing as pos­sible for users. Pro­cessing is car­ried out on the basis of a bal­an­cing of interests in accord­ance with Art­icle 6(1), first sen­tence, point (f) of the GDPR, which always takes your interests into account as well. If you your­self are registered on Ins­tagram or Face­book, the pro­cessing is car­ried out in accord­ance with Art­icle 6 (1), first sen­tence, point (b) of the GDPR and is also in accord­ance with the terms of use applic­able between you and Ins­tagram in each case.

For the pro­cessing of per­son­al data for the pur­pose of com­pil­ing these usage stat­ist­ics, Face­book and LWM are joint con­trol­lers in accord­ance with Art­icle 26 of the GDPR.

The inform­a­tion on Ins­tagram Page Insights (https://​de​-de​.face​book​.com/​l​e​g​a​l​/​t​e​r​m​s​/​p​a​g​e​_​c​o​n​t​r​o​l​l​e​r​_​a​d​d​endum) describes which data is pro­cessed with­in the frame­work of joint con­trol­ler­ship and includes the ​‘Page Insights Sup­ple­ment’, in which Face­book and LWM have con­trac­tu­ally stip­u­lated which of them ful­fils which oblig­a­tions under the GDPR.

Pro­cessing of your data when com­mu­nic­at­ing with LWM via the Ins­tagram page

Ins­tagram usage

On Ins­tagram, the ​‘Ins­tagram Dir­ect Mes­saging’ fea­ture allows you to com­mu­nic­ate dir­ectly with us. Where you con­tact us via the Ins­tagram Dir­ect Mes­saging func­tion, LWM pro­cesses your data (e.g. your name and the con­tent of your mes­sages) in order to deal with your enquiry.
