  1. Web analysis

The ERIAC website uses Google (Universal) Analytics, a web analysis service from Google LLC, for website analysis. This serves to safeguard our legitimate interests, which predominate in the context of a weighing of interests, in an optimized presentation of our offer in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit.

Google (Universal) Analytics enables us to analyze the use of the website by users. Such automatically collected information about your use of our website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. By activating the IP anonymization on this website, the IP address is shortened before transmission within the member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. The full IP address will only be sent to a Google server in the USA and shortened there in exceptional cases. The anonymized IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is generally not merged with other Google data.

Any further data processing does not take place unless you have given Google your consent to link the web and app history of your browser with your personal Google account. In this way, data from your Google account can be used with websites that you visit for the purpose of personalizing (advertising) advertisements.

Any further collection of data will only take place if you have agreed with Google that your web and app browser history will be linked by Google to your Google account and that information from your Google account will be used together with the data from Google Analytics for cross-device remarketing by creating target groups, for example.

Google LLC is headquartered in Mountain View, California, USA and is certified under the EU-US Privacy Shield . The agreement between the USA and the EU Commission thereby establishes an appropriate level of data protection.

Here you can install a browser add-on to deactivate Google Analytics. In this way, you can prevent Google from collecting and processing your data relating to the use of our website (e.g. IP address).

  1. Social networks and video platforms
  • Social networks

Our website uses social buttons and widgets from social networks. To protect your data when you visit our website, however, these buttons and widgets are not unrestricted, but only integrated into the page via an HTML link. This ensures that calling up a page on our website that contains these buttons does not yet result in a connection to the provider’s servers. Only when you click on one of the buttons does the respective provider call up a window. For the purpose and scope of data collection in social networks, its further processing and use by the providers as well as your rights and setting options for the protection of your privacy, we refer to the data protection information of the providers:

Data protection notice Facebook

Privacy notice Twitter

Data protection notice Google

Data protection information Instagram

  • Video platforms

Our website includes content via video platforms such as Youtube.com and Vimeo.com . This is done to safeguard our predominant legitimate interests in the multimedia presentation of our offer and our activities in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit.f GDPR. The YouTube videos are embedded using the “extended data protection mode”. In this way, data is only transmitted when the relevant video is clicked.

Youtube is operated by Google LLC, 1 based in Mountain View, California, USA and is certified under the EU-US Privacy Shield . The agreement between the USA and the EU Commission thereby establishes an appropriate level of data protection.

Vimeo is operated by Vimeo LLC, New York, New York, USA.

Pages on a website equipped with a Vimeo plug-in establish a connection to the Vimeo server when you visit and tell it which of our pages were visited. The IP address is communicated even if the visitors do not have a Vimeo account. If visitors are logged into their private Vimeo account, Vimeo automatically assigns their surfing behavior to the Vimeo profile. This can be prevented by logging out. Our (currently limited) use of Vimeo takes place in the sense of a uniform and appealing presentation of our online offers, which in turn represents a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. GDPR. At the present time, Vimeo does not have the option of integrating without passing on data.

The scope and purpose of the data collection, the further processing and use of data by the respective provider, as well as your rights and setting options to protect your privacy can be found in the data protection information of the provider.
