2. General and mandatory information

Data privacy protection

The operators of this website are very serious about protecting the privacy of your personal data. We handle your personal data confidentially and in compliance with the legal data privacy protection regulations and this data privacy policy.

When you use this website, a range of personal data is collected. Personal data are all data that can be used to identify you personally. The data privacy policy you are reading here explains which data we collect and what we use them for. It also explains how and for which purpose it is collected.

We would like to point out that data transmission on the internet (e.g., communication via email) may give rise to data security gaps. It is impossible to seamlessly protect data against access by third parties.


Information on the controller

The controller of data processing on this website is:

The Dornier Museum Friedrichshafen<br/> Dornier Event GmbH<br/> Claude Dornier Platz 1<br/> 88046 Friedrichshafen, Germany

Telephone: +49 (0)7541 487 36 00<br/> Email: info@dorniermuseum.de

The controller is the natural or legal person who, solely or as part of a group, decides on the purposes for and means of processing personal data (e.g., names, email address).


Withdrawal of your consent to data processing

Many data processing procedures are only possible with your express consent. You can withdraw the consent you have given at any time. To do this, you only need to send us an informal email. The legality of the data processing that has taken place up to the point of your withdrawal remains unaffected.


Right to object to data collection in special cases and to processing for direct marketing (Art. 21  General Data Protection Regulation, GDPR)

If the data is processed on the basis of Art. 6. Para. 1 lit e or f GDPR, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data for reasons resulting from your special situation. This also applies to profiling supported by these regulations. You will find the relevant legal basis for a specific type of processing in this data privacy policy. If you submit an objection, we will no longer process your personal data affected unless we can prove compelling legitimated reasons for processing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms or the processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims (objection as specified in Art. 21 Para. 1 GDPR).

If your personal data are processed for the purpose of direct marketing, you have the right to formally object to the processing of your personal data for the purpose of this type of advertisement at any time; this also applies to profiling to the extent that it is done in the context of such direct marketing. If you do object, your personal data will no longer be used for purposes of direct marketing as a result ((objection as specified in Art. 21 Para. 2 GDPR).


Right of appeal to the responsible supervisory authority

In the event of violations of the GDPR, the data subject has the right of appeal to a supervisory authority, in particular the supervisory authority in the member state of his/her typical residence, place of work, or the place of the alleged violation. The right of appeal exists without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedy.


Right to data portability

You have the right to request us to submit data that we automatically process based on your consent or in fulfilment of an agreement to yourself or a third party in a conventional, machine-readable format. Insofar as you demand the data to be directly transmitted to another responsible party, this can be done only if it is technically feasible.


SSL or TLS encryption

For reasons of security and to protect the transmission of confidential content such as orders or requests that you send us as the website operator, this website uses SSL or TLS encryption. You will recognise an encrypted connection in that the address in the browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and a lock symbol appears in your browser.

When SSL/TSL encryption is activated, the data that you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.


Information, restriction, erasure and rectification

Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right to receive information about the personal data we have saved, its origin and recipient, and the purpose of data processing at any time, and if necessary, the right to rectification, restriction, or erasure of those data. You can contact us with further questions on the topic of personal data at the address listed in the legal notice at any time.


Right to restriction of processing

You have the right to demand that the processing of your personal data be restricted. You can contact us with further questions about this at the address listed in the legal notice at any time. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:

  • If you disagree with the accuracy of your personal data that we have saved, as a rule we require some time to verify your claim. For the duration of the verification, you have the right to demand that the processing of your personal data be restricted.
  • If your personal data was/is being processed illegally, you may demand that we restrict the processing of your data instead of its erasure.
  • If we no longer require your personal data, but you need it to exercise, defend, or assert legal claims, you have the right to demand that we restrict the processing of your data instead of its erasure.
  • If you have submitted an objection as specified in Art. 21 Para. 1 GDPR, a trade-off between your interests and our interests must be considered. As long as it has not been determined whose interests take precedence, you have the right to demand that the processing of your data be restricted.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, these data may only be processed – with the exception of saving them – with your consent or for the assertion, exercise, or defence of legal claims or to protect the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of an important public interest of the European Union or a member state.


Objection to promotional emails

This objects to the use of the contact data published as part of the obligation to publish a legal notice to send unsolicited promotional and informational materials. The website operators expressly reserve the right to take legal steps in the event of the unsolicited sending of promotional information, through spam emails, etc.

Cookies

The websites support the partial use of cookies. Cookies will not harm your computer and do not contain viruses. Cookies are used to make our website more user-friendly, effective, and secure. Cookies are small text files that are deposited on your computer and saved by your browser.

Most of the cookies we use are session cookies. They are automatically deleted when you leave our website. Other cookies are saved on your end device and remain until you delete them. These cookies make it possible for us to recognise your browser the next time you call up our website.

You can set your browser to inform you every time a cookie is set and choose to allow each individual cookie, accept cookies for specific cases only, generally exclude cookies, or have them automatically deleted when the browser is closed. The deactivation of cookies can limit the functionality of this website.

Cookies that are required for implementing the electronic communication procedure or provide specific functions that you require (e.g., shopping cart function) are saved on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Website operators have a justified interest in saving cookies to ensure the technically sound, optimised provision of their services. Insofar as other cookies are saved (e.g., cookies for analysing your surfing pattern), they will be treated in a separate part of this data privacy policy.


Server log files

Website providers automatically acquire and save information in server log files that your browser automatically transmits to us. It consists of:

  • Browser type and version
  • Operating system used
  • Referrer URL
  • Host name of the accessing computer
  • Time of server request
  • IP address

These data are not combined with other data sources.

These data are acquired based on Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Website operators have a justified interest in the technically sound presentation and optimisation of their websites – to ensure this, server log files are recorded.


Contact form

When you use the contact form to send us requests, we will save your information on the request form, including the contact data you entered, for the purpose of processing the request and for the event that there are follow-up questions. We will not forward these data without your consent.

The data entered on the contact form will therefore only be processed on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You can withdraw your consent at any time. To do this, you only need to send us an informal email. The legality of the data processing that has taken place up to the point of your withdrawal remains unaffected.

The data you entered on the contact form will remain on our server until you demand that we erase it, withdraw your consent to save it, or the purpose for which the data was saved no longer exists (e.g., after your request has been processed completely). Compelling legal provisions, in particular, storage periods, remain unaffected.


Requests via email, telephone, or fax

If you contact us via email, telephone, or fax, we will save and process your request, including all the personal data it contains (name, request) for the purpose of resolving the matter. We will not forward these data without your consent.

These data are processed based on Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR, insofar as your request is related to the fulfilment of an agreement or to carrying out precontractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on your consent (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR) and/or on our justified interests (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR), since we have a justified interest in the effective processing of the requests we receive.

The data you sent us via the contact form will remain on our server until you demand that we erase it, withdraw your consent to save it, or the purpose for which the data was saved no longer exists (e.g., after your matter has been resolved). Compelling legal provisions, in particular, legal storage periods, remain unaffected.


4. Analytics tools and advertising

Google Analytics

This website uses functions of the Google Analytics web analysis service. The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

Google Analytics uses cookies. Cookies are text files that are saved on your computer and enable the tool to analyse how you use the website. The information the cookies generate on your use of the website is typically transmitted to a Google server in the US and saved there.

Google Analytics cookies are saved and the analytics tool is used on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Website operators have a justified interest in analysing user behaviour in order to optimise their website and their advertising.

IP anonymisation

We have enabled the IP anonymisation function on this website. As a result, Google abbreviates your IP address within a European Union member state or in other states that are signatories to the treaty regarding the European Economic Area before transferring it to the US. In exceptional cases only, full IP addresses are transmitted to a Google server in the US and abbreviated there. On behalf of the operators of this website, Google will use the information to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activities, and continue to provide the services connected to website use and internet use to the website operators. The IP address transmitted from your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be combined with other data in Google’s possession.
