Data Protection and Privacy

(Status February 2020)

Thank you for visiting our website and for your interest in our information. The protection of your personal data during processing during your visit to our pages is an important concern for us and we want you to feel safe here.

The proposed joint project VITIFIT is the first to bring together all the leading German research institutions involved in viticulture to form a joint competence and research network for the control of vine peronospora (downy mildew).

By bringing together all competencies, networking and continuous exchange, a platform is to be created to which all interested companies have access to obtain current research results, obtain advice and actively participate in the research process. Special importance is thus attached to the transfer of knowledge and communication between the individual actors.

In the following we explain what information we collect during your visit to our website and how it is used.

Additional personal information such as your name, address, telephone number or e-mail address is not collected unless you provide this information voluntarily, e.g. when registering for an event, ordering information material, a newsletter, a survey, a competition, to execute a contract or an information request.

This data is not merged with other data sources. The basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 letter f DSGVO, which permits the processing of data for the fulfilment of a contract or pre-contractual measures.

Use and Disclosure of Personal Data

We use the personal data provided by you exclusively for the purpose of the technical administration of the web pages and to fulfil your wishes and requirements, i.e. usually for the preparation of events, to process a contract concluded with you or to answer your enquiry.
Your personal data will not be passed on, sold or otherwise transferred to third parties.

We adhere to the principles of data avoidance and data economy. We therefore only store your personal data for as long as is necessary to achieve the purposes stated here or as required 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 is routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with the statutory provisions.

Use of Cookies

We do not generally use cookies on our websites. So-called session cookies are used, which store data for technical session control in the memory of your browser. These data are not personal and are deleted at the latest when you close your browser. No cookies are explicitly used to analyse your usage behaviour.
Should we exceptionally need to store personal data in a cookie, we will ask for your explicit consent in advance. Furthermore, we would like to point out that browsers usually have functions for the administration of cookies.
If you disable cookies, the functionality of this website may be limited.

Security

We take all necessary technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal data from loss and misuse. Your data is stored in a secure operating environment that is not accessible to the public. In certain cases, your personal data is encrypted during transmission using Secure Socket Layer technology (SSL). This means that the communication between your computer and our servers takes place using a recognised encryption method if your browser supports SSL.
Should you wish to contact us by e-mail, we would like to point out that the confidentiality of the transmitted information is not guaranteed. The content of e-mails can be viewed by third parties.

Persons under the age of 18 should not transmit personal data to us without the consent of their parents or legal guardians. We do not request personal data from children, do not collect such data and do not pass it on to third parties.

Your Rights to Information, Blocking, Deletion

Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right to obtain information free of charge at any time about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients and the purpose of the data processing and, if applicable, a right to correct, block or delete this data. The user profile created can be deleted by you at any time via “Edit profile”. This will delete all content and comments published by you.

Right to Data Transferability

You have the right to have data, which we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfilment of a contract, handed over to you or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another responsible party, this will only take place to the extent that it is technically feasible.

Communication via E-Mail

Communication via e-mail can have security gaps. For example, e-mails can be intercepted and viewed by experienced Internet users on their way to the administrative staff. If we receive an e-mail from you, we assume that we are entitled to reply by e-mail. Otherwise, you must expressly refer to another form of communication. If desired, we are able to encrypt the messages with common encryption standards.

The data we collect is needed to process your request to your satisfaction.
We use the data collected within the framework of the contact form exclusively for the purpose of technical administration and to fulfil your questions, wishes and requirements. After completion of your request, the data will be deleted.
Your personal data will not be passed on, sold or otherwise transferred to third parties.

The operators of this website expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event that unsolicited advertising information is sent, for example by spam e-mails.

Right to Revoke the Declaration of Consent under Data Protection Law

You have the right to revoke your data protection declaration of consent at any time. Revocation of your consent does not affect the legality of the processing that has taken place on the basis of your consent until revocation.
