Information on the Processing of Data Collected
User Analysis
The website of the Partnerships2030 platform uses the web analysis service Matomo to analyze usage data. Data about each user’s access to the Internet offering of the Partnerships2030 platform and the retrieval of files are temporarily stored and processed before being recorded in a log file. Before storage, each record is anonymized by altering the IP address.
The following data is stored for each access/retrieval:
- Technical features of the browser used,
- Anonymized IP address,
- Date and time,
- Accessed page/name of the retrieved file,
- Transferred data volume,
- Notification of whether the access/retrieval was successful.
The Matomo program is an open-source project. Information from the third-party provider about data protection can be found at https://matomo.org/privacy-policy/.
Cookies
When accessing individual pages, so-called temporary cookies are used to facilitate navigation. Cookies are small text files stored locally in the cache of the website visitor’s internet browser. These session cookies do not contain any personal data and expire after the session or after the end of a user survey, which is typically conducted every two years.
Techniques such as Java applets or Active-X controls that allow user behavior tracking are not used.
Data is processed based on Art. 6(1) f) EU GDPR with the legitimate interest of user analysis to improve the website.
There is the possibility to object to the processing of user data to analyze user behavior. You have the option to deactivate the collection of user data using the link provided below.
Instructions for Objecting
To do this, a cookie is stored on the end device that prevents the collection of user data when visiting this offering. To make the objection effective, the cookie must be stored on every device used. Since the cookie is stored in the respective browser (Internet program), it must be stored in every browser used on an end device (e.g., Internet Explorer, Chrome, Mozilla Firefox). Please note that deleting all cookies will also delete the objection cookie, and it must be restored afterward.
Newsletter
The personal data collected in the context of the newsletter will be used to process the subscription and your inquiries. The sole requirement for the transmission of the newsletter is your email address.
For the newsletter registration, we use the so-called double opt-in procedure. This means that after registration, we email the email address provided, asking for confirmation that you wish to receive the newsletter. After your confirmation, we store your email address to send the newsletter. The legal basis is Art. 6(1) sentence 1 lit. a GDPR.
Furthermore, we also store your IP addresses used and the times of registration and confirmation. The purpose of this procedure is to verify your registration and, if necessary, clarify any potential misuse of your personal data. You can revoke your consent to receive the newsletter at any time and unsubscribe from the newsletter. You can declare your revocation by clicking on the link provided in each newsletter email or by sending an email to info@partnerschaften2030.de.
The newsletter is sent by the provider CleverReach. The general terms and conditions of CleverReach can be found here: https://www.cleverreach.com/de/agb/.
CleverReach uses the Google service reCaptcha to determine whether a person or a computer is making a specific input in our contact or newsletter form. Google checks whether you are a person or a computer based on the following data: the IP address of the end device used, the website you visit with us, and on which the captcha is embedded, the date and duration of the visit, the recognition data of the browser and operating system type used, Google account if you are logged in with Google, mouse movements on the reCaptcha areas, and tasks where you have to identify images. The legal basis for the described data processing is Art. 6(1) letter f of the General Data Protection Regulation. We have a legitimate interest in this data processing, ensuring the security of our website and protecting us against automated inputs (attacks).
Please note that we evaluate your user behavior when sending the newsletter. The sent emails contain web beacons or tracking pixels, one-pixel image files stored on our website. For the evaluations, we link the data mentioned above and the web beacons with your email address and an individual ID. The data is collected exclusively pseudonymized; the IDs are not linked to your further personal data, and a direct connection to individuals is excluded. The information is stored for as long as you have subscribed to the newsletter. After unsubscribing, we store the data purely statistically and anonymously.
Additional Web Offers
When accessing other web offers, such as online applications or registration for further education, for which the entry of additional personal data is required for processing, the data protection declarations adapted to the respective offer also apply.

Cooperation with Data Processors and Third Parties
If we pass on or give third parties access to data as part of our processing, pass data on to third parties, or grant them access to the data in other ways, this is done only based on legal permission (e.g., if data transfer to third parties, e.g., payment service providers, is required to fulfill a contract, following Art. 6(1) lit. b GDPR), if you have consented, if a legal obligation provides for this or further as a basis for our legitimate interests (e.g. when using agents, web hosts, etc.).
If we engage third parties to process data based on a so-called “data processing agreement,” this is done based on Art. 28 GDPR.
Duration of Data Storage
Personal data is routinely deleted when it is no longer required for the fulfillment of a contract (e.g., employment, grant, rental, purchase, or service contracts), there is no separate consent from the individuals concerned, legal retention periods and deadlines do not require a longer period of data storage.
