Responsible for processing of your personal data
Bildungswerk der Bayerischen Wirtschaft (bbw) gemeinnützige GmbH (non-profit GmbH) – International Division
Purposes, legal basis
We process your personal data to inform you about the services of the responsible party, to enable you to visit the site, and to optimise, secure and operate the online services; the processing is primarily necessary to protect the legitimate interests of the responsible party.
Data categories
In order to respond to your request for pages and services, your IP address is recorded in connection with the content accessed (time, success, error, response status).
The following data is also temporarily logged without personal reference: shortened and daily randomly added IP address, associated with date and time of access, page of origin, accessed content.
In order to plan our page design, the operating systems, browsers, screen sizes, etc. used by you are statistically summarized without personal reference.
The data will not be merged with other information about your person.
When a contract is concluded, e.g. for a course of study, personal data that you provide to us for this purpose is used to conclude and fulfill contracts with you and is stored for the purpose of documenting and maintaining the customer relationship.
Storage period
To ensure the proper operation of our systems, we log access to our services. There is no automated linking with data from other inventories and no profiling.
The purpose-bound log data is deleted after 1 year at the latest. The duration of the usage of cookies for speed optimization and secure system operation varies from session cookies to a duration of 2 years.
Recipient categories
Due to legitimate interests in joint management, data may be processed by internal service providers of the group of companies under the same conditions that would be applied by the controller.
In the permissible context of commissioned processing, external service providers may be engaged who are not considered third parties in this context. Both with us and with commissioned processors, only responsible persons process the data in accordance with our instructions.
Further recipients and a transfer to third countries are not intended unless otherwise stated.
Cookies
Our website uses cookies. These are small text files that we store on your device via your browser and read; for example, to optimize the display of content for your device, e.g., screen size, connection quality, language, to ensure the security of the connection, to continue sessions on your next visit, to save your decisions or bookmarks, to learn more about the history of visits through statistics, and to make it easier to find topics in the future. We process personal data to protect our legitimate interests in the purposes described in each case; you can object to such processing; the objection will be implemented directly for some processing operations, while for others no direct implementation is planned and you would have to state your reasons together with the objection. We would ask you separately for your consent to allow the use of cookies whose function goes beyond the delivery and display of the content you have accessed; for example, where we identify you, address you with personalized advertising, or where cookies could also be used by other parties for their own purposes; you can revoke such consent at any time and without giving reasons with effect for the future. When using the same user profile, e.g., when sharing the same login on your device, other people may continue sessions with your existing cookies. You can control the handling of cookies and delete cookies through settings in your browser.
