General

Information on the Processing of Personal Data

(1) In the following passages, we have provided information on the processing of personal data when you use this WebPortal. Personal data is all data that can be related to you personally, for example your name, address, email addresses, and behavior as a user. "Processing" means any operation performed on personal data, such as collecting, recording, storing, or changing data.

Controller

(1) Both associations

• Gesellschaft für Technische Kommunikation – tekom Deutschland e.V. and
• European Association for Technical Communication – tekom Europe e.V.

(hereinafter "tekom")
work together with tcworld GmbH as service provider. tcworld GmbH renders services for members and is an event organizer and publishing house for tekom publications, as well as a provider of training in the field of technical communication.
The controller, as defined by Article 4 (7) in conjunction with Article 26 of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is tcworld GmbH, together with the above-mentioned associations ("joint controllership").
(2) A joint controllership is where two or more controllers are jointly responsible for processing personal data because they can jointly (not necessarily to the same extent!) determine the purposes and means of the processing. The GDPR stipulates that joint controllers

• must specify, by means of an arrangement between them, which controller is responsible for which duties as regards the exercising of the rights of the data subject (e.g. duty to provide information), unless this is determined by Union or Member State law
• may designate a contact point for data subjects in the arrangement, and
• must make additional, key points of the arrangement (e.g. the actual functions and relations of the joint controllers) available to the data subject.

However, these specifications apply with binding effect only within the scope of the internal relationship between the joint controllers – for example if it must be proved that one of the joint controllers has actually fulfilled its contractual obligations. Regardless of any arrangements made, data subjects have the right to exercise their rights in respect of and against each of the controllers. Joint controllers should incorporate a liability clause in the contract, in which they specify which controller is liable for which data incidents within the internal relationship. Data subjects are free to choose which of the joint controllers should be liable to them.

Rotebühlstraße 64
70178 Stuttgart

We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

Google is certified under the Privacy Shield Agreement and thereby offers a guarantee to comply with European data protection law (see www.privacyshield.gov/participant ).

Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies”, text files that are stored on your computer and that enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. Due to the activation of IP anonymization on this website, your IP address will be shortened beforehand by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transferred to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On our behalf, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website,to compile reports on website activity and to provide us with other services related to website activity and internet usage. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

We would like to point out that the code "gat._anonymizeIp ();" has been added to Google Analytics on this website in order to guarantee anonymous collection of IP addresses (so-called IP masking).

You can also configure Google Analytics data collection by clicking on the following link . An opt-out cookie is then set, which prevents the further collection of your data when you visit this website. This procedure is particularly recommended when accessing our site via mobile devices.

You can find more information on terms of use and data protection at marketingplatform.google.com/about/analytics/terms/de/ or at marketingplatform.google.com/about/ .

We base the use of the aforementioned analysis tool on Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR: the processing takes place for the analysis of user behavior and is therefore necessary to protect our legitimate interests.

We also use  Google Signals , an extension of Google Analytics.

Visitor data from our website and / or our apps is recorded in Google Analytics and linked to your Google account, i.e. your registered user, we are only provided with anonymized data, we have no access to your personal, individual data. This only happens if you have previously consented to such a link on Google in order to receive personalized advertising. Visitor data includes: the location of the end user, search history, YouTube history and data about Google partner websites. This data is used to provide aggregated and anonymized statistics on the behavior of our users across all devices.

At: myactivity.google.com you can view "My activities" and delete them at any time as well as object to personalized advertising in your Google account.

Google Re / Marketing Services

We use the marketing and remarketing services ("Google Marketing Services" for short) from Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA, ("Google").

Google is certified under the Privacy Shield Agreement and thereby offers a guarantee to comply with European data protection law ( www.privacyshield.gov/participant ).

The Google Marketing Services allow us to display advertisements for and on our website in a more targeted manner in order to only present users with ads that potentially correspond to their interests. If, for example, a user is shown advertisements for products that they are interested in on other websites, this is referred to as "remarketing". For these purposes, when you visit our and other websites on which Google marketing services are active, Google directly executes a code from Google and so-called (re) marketing tags (invisible graphics or code, also as "pixels “Referred to) integrated into the website. With their help, an individual cookie, ie a small file, is stored on the user's device (instead of cookies, comparable technologies can also be used).Cookies can be set by various domains, including google.com, doubleclick.net, invitemedia.com, admeld.com, googlesyndication.com or googleadservices.com. This file notes which websites the user visits, what content he is interested in and which offers he has clicked on, as well as technical information on the browser and operating system, referring websites, time of visit and other information on the use of the online offer. The IP address of the user is also recorded, whereby we use Google Analytics to informthat the IP address is shortened within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area and only in exceptional cases is it completely transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. The IP address is not merged with user data within other Google offers. Google may also combine the above information with such information from other sources. If the user then visits other websites, the advertisements tailored to his interests can be displayed.Google may also combine the above information with such information from other sources. If the user then visits other websites, the advertisements tailored to his interests can be displayed.Google may also combine the above information with such information from other sources. If the user then visits other websites, the advertisements tailored to his interests can be displayed.

The data of the users are processed pseudonymously within the scope of the Google marketing services. This means that Google does not save and process, for example, the name or email address of the user, but processes the relevant data in a cookie-related manner within pseudonymous user profiles. From Google's point of view, the ads are not managed and displayed for a specifically identified person, but for the cookie holder, regardless of who this cookie holder is. This does not apply if a user has expressly allowed Google to process the data without this pseudonymization. The information collected by Google Marketing Services about users is transmitted to Google and stored on Google's servers in the United States.

The Google marketing services we use include the online advertising program "Google Ads (formerly AdWords)". In the case of Google Ads, each Google Ads customer receives a different "conversion cookie". Cookies cannot therefore be tracked via the websites of Google Ads customers. The information obtained using the cookie is used to create conversion statistics for Google Ads customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Google Ads customers find out the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, you will not receive any information that can be used to personally identify users.

We also use the "Google Tag Manager" to integrate and manage the Google analysis and marketing services in our website.

Further information on the use of data by Google for marketing purposes can be found on the overview page: www.google.com/policies/technologies/ads/ , Google's privacy policy can be found at www.google.com/policies/ privacy /  available.

If you would like to object to interest-based advertising by Google marketing services, you can use the setting and opt-out options provided by Google: www.google.com/ads/preferences/ .
