2. data collection

As part of the programme planning, the Berlin application process and the network work throughout Germany and Europe, the necessary contact and personal data was collected and temporarily stored. The data thus collected, which is helpful or necessary for communication, usually includes email address, first and last names as well as information on the organisation-specific function. Additional information such as your telephone number or supplementary personal, professional and organisation-specific data are optional and are not stored by us as standard - unless necessary for processing your request or expressly requested by you. Your data will not be passed on to third parties or used commercially.


3. your rights

  • Correction of inaccurate personal data,
  • Deletion of your data stored with us,
  • Restriction of data processing if we are not yet allowed to delete your data due to legal obligations,
  • object to the processing of your data by us and
  • Data portability, provided you have consented to the data processing or have concluded a contract with us. If you have given us consent, you can revoke this at any time with effect for the future. You can lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority responsible for you at any time. Your competent supervisory authority depends on the federal state of your residence, your work or the alleged violation.

4. purpose of the data processing

We process your personal data only for the purposes stated in this privacy policy and we act according to the principle of data economy. This means that we will only share your personal data with third parties if:

  • you have given your express consent to this,
  • the processing is necessary for the performance of a contract or a jointly agreed project and communication objective with you,
  • the processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation,
  • the processing is necessary to protect legitimate interests and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding legitimate interest in not disclosing your data.
  • In the context of press and public relations work, it may be useful for the respective responsible persons of the three cities to give out email addresses or telephone numbers of programme partners to the press and media. However, this only happens if it can be assumed that this is in the interest of the partner. Here, too, the principle of data minimisation applies to us.

5. deletion or blocking of data

In the sense of active networking of various actors as well as the long-term, periodic character of the festival, deletion will only take place upon explicit request. If you do not wish to participate any further, your personal data will therefore only be stored for as long as is necessary to achieve the purposes stated here or as stipulated by the various storage periods provided for by law. After the respective purpose has ceased to exist or these periods have expired, the corresponding data will be routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with the statutory provisions. If you have given your consent to the processing of your data, you can revoke this consent at any time. Such a revocation will affect the permissibility of the processing of your personal data after you have expressed it to us.


6. collection of data when visiting our website

This website is programmed to be "responsive", i.e. its display adapts to the end devices used, for example by showing columns on smaller monitors (e.g. smartphones) as blocks arranged one after the other. In the case of purely informational use of the website, i.e. if you do not register or otherwise transmit information to us, we only collect data on our server that common browsers transmit by default anyway. This data is used to display our website optimised for the end devices used and to ensure the best possible stability and security (legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f DS-GVO). 

6.1 Data transmitted by default

The following data is transmitted to us by your browser by default

  • IP address
  • Date and time of the request
  • Time zone difference from Greenwich Mean Time (GMT)
  • Content of the request (concrete page)
  • Access Status/HTTP Status Code
  • Data volume transferred in each case
  • Website from which the request comes
  • Browser type used
  • Operating system used
  • Language and version of the browser software

This data is stored by us and the operator of the server of our website for a maximum of 7 days. At no time will this data be linked to any other personal data, i.e. an assignment to a natural person cannot and will not be made by us; only in the case of a concrete suspicion of a criminal offence committed via the website will further storage and forwarding to the criminal investigation authority take place in accordance with the legal provisions.

6.2 Use of cookies

In addition to the data mentioned above, so-called "cookies" are stored on your computer when you use our website. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your hard drive in relation to the browser you are using and which provide the party setting the cookie (in this case, us) with certain information. Cookies cannot execute programs or transmit viruses to your computer. They are only stored locally on your computer and only serve to make our website more user-friendly and effective overall. It is generally possible to use our website with a "cookie function" deactivated in your browser settings.

6.3 Integration of external web services

On our website we integrate web services of external service providers, about whose data processing we inform you below. The use of these service providers serves to ensure an appealing and user-friendly website presentation.

6.3.1 Google Web Fonts
This site uses so-called web fonts provided by Google for the uniform display of fonts. When you call up a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into its browser cache, a buffer used to display texts and fonts quickly and correctly. If your browser does not support web fonts, a standard font is used by your computer. For this purpose, the browser you are using must connect to Google's servers. This enables Google to know that our website has been accessed via your IP address. Google Web Fonts are used in the interest of a uniform and appealing presentation of our online offers. This represents a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. Further information on Google Web Fonts can be found at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and in Google's privacy policy: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/.

6.3.2 YouTube
We have integrated videos hosted on YouTube, a service operated by YouTube LLC, 901 Cherry Ave, San Bruno, CA 94066, USA (hereinafter YouTube) - a subsidiary of Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA - on our website in the most data-saving way possible. When you access a page of our website that contains a YouTube video, your browser establishes a direct connection to YouTube's servers when you click on the start button and causes a representation of the corresponding video to be downloaded from YouTube. The content of the video is transmitted by YouTube directly to your browser and integrated into the page. Through this integration, YouTube receives the information that your browser has called up the corresponding page of our website, even if you do not have a YouTube profile or are not currently logged into YouTube. This information (including your IP address) is transmitted by your browser directly to a YouTube server and stored there. If you are logged in to YouTube, YouTube can directly assign your visit to our website to your YouTube account. This function is the technical basis for embedding video content.
Note: If you do not want YouTube to assign the data collected via our website directly to your YouTube account, you must log out of YouTube before visiting our website. You can find more information on this in YouTube's privacy policy.

6.3.3 Bootstrap framework
A web service of the company NetDNA LLC, Cahuenga Blvd Suite 630, 90068 Los Angeles (hereinafter: Bootstrapcdn.com) is reloaded on our website. If you have activated Java script in your browser and have not installed a Java script blocker, your browser may transmit personal data to Bootstrapcdn.com: This service has the effect of shortening the loading time of common Java-Script libraries and fonts because the files are transferred from fast servers that are close to the location or have a low load. Among other things, your IP address is transmitted in the process. The contents of our service and the communication are not handled via CDN. For further information on the handling of the transmitted data, please refer to the Bootstrapcdn.com privacy policy: https://www.bootstrapcdn.com/privacy-policy/.
Note: You can prevent the collection and processing of your data by Bootstrapcdn.com by deactivating the execution of script code in your browser or installing a script blocker in your browser (you can find this, for example, at http://www.noscript.net or http://www.ghostery.com).

6.3.4 Social media
In addition to this website, the Triennial of Modernism also operates its own social media channels on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and YouTube. The use of these offers is partly only possible for registered users. For reasons of data protection, we would like to point out that such use includes the transfer of individual data to US companies and their processing servers, which are beyond our insight and access. The respective guidelines of the operating companies apply.
