Privacy policy

Translation disclaimer

The following text provides a courtesy trans­lation of our data protection decla­ration (Datenschutzerklärung). The trans­lation from the original text in German is provided for infor­mation purposes in accor­dance with the provi­sions of the European Data Protection Regulation. In the event of any ambiguity about the meaning of the trans­lated terms and discrep­ancies between versions, the original German version prevails.

Basic

This data protection decla­ration is intended to inform the users of this website about the type, scope and purpose of the collection and use of personal data by the Institut für Klimaschutz, Energie und Mobilität e.V., Magazinstraße 15–16, 10179 Berlin (website operator). This data protection decla­ration applies to the website opera­tor’s website, which can be accessed under the domain www.ikem.de and the subdo­mains (e.g. www.academy.ikem.de).

The website operator takes your data protection very seriously and treats your personal data confi­den­tially and in accor­dance with the statutory provi­sions. Since new technologies and the constant further devel­opment of this website may result in changes to this data protection decla­ration, we recommend that you read the data protection decla­ration again at regular intervals.

Definitions of the terms used (e.g. ‘personal data’ or ‘processing’) can be found in Art. 4 DSGVO.

Collection and processing of personal data

The website operator collects, uses and shares your personal data only if doing so is permitted by law or if you consent to the collection of data. Personal data includes all infor­mation that identifies you and can be traced back to you, such as your name, email address and telephone number. You can also visit this website without providing any personal infor­mation. However, in order to improve our online services, we store your access data to this website (without personal reference). Anonymising the data makes it impos­sible to draw conclu­sions about your identity.

For users who register on our website, we additionally store the personal infor­mation they provide in their user profiles. All users can view, change or delete their personal infor­mation at any time, although usernames cannot be changed. Website admin­is­trators may also view and change this information.

Collected data

IKEM collects the following personal data in line with the use purposes explained in a subse­quent section:

  • Name and contact details
  • Education and profes­sional information
  • Payment infor­mation
  • Registration and partic­i­pation in IKEM events and activities
  • Subscription prefer­ences
  • Information about service usage
  • Authentication data
  • Location infor­mation
  • Other infor­mation you upload or provide to us

Purposes

IKEM uses (and, where specified, shares) your personal infor­mation for the following purposes:

  • To process invoices and transactions
    IKEM uses personal infor­mation such as your name, physical address, telephone number, email address, and company/institution to engage in inter­ac­tions with you. We use payment infor­mation to process your regis­tration and may need to share some of this infor­mation with credit card clearing houses and other third parties to complete the transaction.
  • To commu­nicate with you about a meeting, conference, or event IKEM uses the personal data you provide in this regis­tration for admin­is­trative activ­ities related to your partic­i­pation in this event. We may commu­nicate with you about meetings, confer­ences or events hosted by IKEM. This may include infor­mation about the event’s content, event logistics, payment, updates and additional relevant infor­mation. Information you provide when regis­tering for or partic­i­pating in a conference managed or co-sponsored by parties other than or in addition to IKEM may be shared with those parties, and the treatment of such infor­mation is further subject to the privacy policies of those parties. IKEM and its conference co-sponsors may contact you after the event about the event, subse­quent itera­tions of the event and related events.

Contact data

If you contact us as a website operator through the contact options offered, your details will be stored to process and respond to your enquiry. The data will not be shared with third parties without your consent.

Cookies

This website uses cookies, which are trans­mitted to your browser by either by our server or the server of third parties (e.g. Google Analytics, HelpMundo). Cookies are small data files that are stored on your end device and accessed by your browser. The use of cookies makes it easier for you to navigate our site and improves site security.

When you log in, we will set some cookies to store your login infor­mation and display options. Login cookies expire after two days, and display option cookies expire after one year.

Collection and processing of personal data

The website operator collects, uses and shares your personal data only if doing is permitted by law or if you consent to the collection of data. Personal data includes all infor­mation that identifies you and can be traced back to you, such as your name, email address and telephone number. You can visit this website without providing any personal data. However, in order to improve our online services, we store your access data to this website (without personal identi­fi­cation). Anonymising the data makes it impos­sible to draw conclu­sions about your identity.

For users who register on our website, we also store the personal infor­mation that they provide in their user profiles. All users can view, change or delete their personal infor­mation at any time, although usernames cannot be changed. Website admin­is­trators may also view and change this information.

Forms

On our website, we use forms (e.g. for the regis­tration for events), which are created with the WordPress-Plugin Torro Forms or the WordPress-Plugin Office Forms. Your data will only be stored on the website opera­tor’s servers and processed by the website opera­tor’s employees for other purposes (e.g. event organ­i­sation). The data will not be trans­mitted to Torro Forms or Office Forms.

Newsletter subscription

The website operator offers a newsletter that provides regular updates on current devel­op­ments in the fields of climate protection, energy and sustainable mobility. This includes new publi­ca­tions, event announce­ments, job adver­tise­ments and other offers from the Institute.

If you would like to subscribe to the newsletter, you must provide a valid email address. You will then receive an email asking you to confirm your regis­tration. You will not receive our newsletter until this double opt-in procedure has been completed.

Your email address and other infor­mation will be stored and processed, which will provide data on opening rates and clicked links. This serves exclu­sively to optimise the content. It will not be shared with third parties. If you subscribe to the newsletter, you agree to receive the newsletter and to the proce­dures described above.

Newsletters are sent via the WordPress instal­lation of this website and using the plugin ‘The Newsletter Plugin’. The data is stored and processed on our servers. Data will not be trans­mitted to the provider of the plugin. Further infor­mation about the privacy policy of ‘The Newsletter Plugin’ can be found at: https://www.thenewsletterplugin.com/documentation/gdpr-compliancy.

Withdrawing and termi­nation: You can withdraw your consent to receive the newsletter at any time and thus cancel the newsletter subscription. At the bottom of each newsletter, you will find a link to cancel your subscription. The data of unsub­scribed users is regularly deleted from the database.

Rights of the user

As a user, you have the right to request free infor­mation about which personal data about you has been stored. You also have the right to correct incorrect data and to limit or delete the processing of your personal data. If you believe that your data has been processed unlaw­fully, you can file a complaint with the competent super­visory authority.

Deletion of data

Unless your request conflicts with a legal oblig­ation to store data (e.g. data retention), you have a right to delete your data. Data stored by us will be deleted if it is no longer needed for its intended purpose and no legal retention periods apply. If deletion cannot be carried out because the data is required for legal purposes, data processing will be restricted. In this case, the data will be blocked and not processed for other purposes.

Right of objection

Users of this website may exercise their right of objection and object to the processing of their personal data at any time.

If you would like us to correct, block or delete infor­mation about the personal data stored about you or if you have questions regarding the collection, processing or use of your personal data or you want to withdraw your consent, please contact:
