The Museums Association of Schleswig-Holstein and Hamburg e.V. is not responsible for the content of external sites accessed via a link.

We are very pleased about your interest in our association. Data protection is of particular importance to the management of the Museums Association of Schleswig-Holstein and Hamburg e.V. The use of the internet pages of the Museums Association of Schleswig-Holstein and Hamburg e.V. is generally possible without providing any personal data. However, if a data subject wishes to use special services of our association via our website, the processing of personal data could become necessary. If the processing of personal data is required and there is no legal basis for such processing, we will generally obtain the consent of the data subject.

The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, email address, or telephone number of a data subject, is always carried out in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and in compliance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to the Museums Association of Schleswig-Holstein and Hamburg e.V. Through this privacy policy, our association aims to inform the public about the nature, scope, and purpose of the personal data we collect, use, and process. Furthermore, this privacy policy serves to inform data subjects about their rights.

The Museums Association of Schleswig-Holstein and Hamburg e.V., as the controller responsible for processing, has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection possible of personal data processed via this website. However, internet-based data transmissions can generally have security vulnerabilities, meaning absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transmit personal data to us via alternative means, such as by telephone.

The privacy policy of the Museums Association of Schleswig-Holstein and Hamburg e.V. is based on the terminology used by the European legislator when enacting the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our privacy policy aims to be easily readable and understandable for both the public and our members and users. To ensure this, we would like to explain the terms used in advance.

In this privacy policy, we use the following terms, among others:

a) Personal data
Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter referred to as the "data subject"). An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier, or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural, or social identity of that natural person.

b) Data subject
A data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the controller responsible for the processing.

c) Processing
Processing is any operation or set of operations performed on personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organization, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure, or destruction.

d) Restriction of processing
Restriction of processing means the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting its processing in the future.

e) Profiling
Profiling means any form of automated processing of personal data that involves the use of personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyze or predict aspects concerning that natural person’s performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, location, or movements.

f) Pseudonymization
Pseudonymization is the processing of personal data in such a manner that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organizational measures to ensure that the personal data is not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.

g) Controller or data controller
The controller or data controller is the natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data. Where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union or Member State law, the controller or the specific criteria for its nomination may be provided for by Union or Member State law.

h) Processor
A processor is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body that processes personal data on behalf of the controller.

i) Recipient
A recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body to which personal data is disclosed, whether or not it is a third party. However, public authorities which may receive personal data in the framework of a particular inquiry in accordance with Union or Member State law are not regarded as recipients.

j) Third party
A third party is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or body other than the data subject, controller, processor, and persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or processor, are authorized to process personal data.

k) Consent
Consent means any freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous indication of the data subject's wishes by which they, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signify agreement to the processing of personal data relating to them.

The controller within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), other data protection laws applicable in the member states of the European Union, and other provisions related to data protection is:

The website of the Museums Association of Schleswig-Holstein and Hamburg e.V. collects a series of general data and information each time a data subject or an automated system accesses the website. This general data and information are stored in the server log files. The data and information collected may include:
(1) the browser types and versions used,
(2) the operating system used by the accessing system,
(3) the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrer),
(4) the subpages that are accessed on our website via an accessing system,
(5) the date and time of access to the website,
(6) an Internet Protocol (IP) address,
(7) the Internet service provider of the accessing system, and
(8) other similar data and information that may be used in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.

When using this general data and information, the Museums Association of Schleswig-Holstein and Hamburg e.V. does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Instead, this information is needed to:
(1) deliver the contents of our website correctly,
(2) optimize the content of our website as well as the advertising for it,
(3) ensure the long-term functionality of our information technology systems and the technology of our website, and
(4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for criminal prosecution in the event of a cyberattack.

These anonymously collected data and information are therefore evaluated statistically by the Museums Association of Schleswig-Holstein and Hamburg e.V., and further analyzed with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in our association, ultimately to ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data in the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.

The controller processes and stores the personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage or as required by the European legislator or another legislator in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject.

If the purpose of storage no longer applies or if a storage period prescribed by the European legislator or another competent legislator expires, the personal data will be routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with legal requirements.

b) Right of Access

Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European legislator, to obtain free information about the personal data stored about them and a copy of this information from the controller at any time. Furthermore, the European legislator grants the data subject access to the following information:

The data subject also has the right to be informed whether personal data are transferred to a third country or an international organization. Where this is the case, the data subject has the right to be informed of the appropriate safeguards relating to the transfer.

If a data subject wishes to exercise this right of access, they may contact any employee of the controller at any time.

c) Right to Rectification

Every data subject has the right, granted by the European legislator, to obtain from the controller the rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning them without undue delay. Taking into account the purposes of the processing, the data subject has the right to have incomplete personal data completed, including by means of providing a supplementary statement.

If a data subject wishes to exercise this right to rectification, they may contact any employee of the controller at any time.

d) Right to Erasure ("Right to be Forgotten")

Every data subject has the right, granted by the European legislator, to obtain from the controller the erasure of personal data concerning them without undue delay, where one of the following grounds applies, and as long as the processing is not necessary:

1. The personal data are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.
2. The data subject withdraws consent on which the processing is based according to Article 6(1)(a) or Article 9(2)(a) of the GDPR, and where there is no other legal ground for the processing.
3. The data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21(1) of the GDPR, and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or the data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21(2) of the GDPR.

If a data subject wishes to request the erasure of personal data stored by the Museumsverband Schleswig-Holstein und Hamburg e. V., they may contact any employee of the controller. The employee will promptly ensure that the erasure request is complied with.

If the personal data have been made public by the Museumsverband Schleswig-Holstein und Hamburg e. V. and our association is obliged under Article 17(1) of the GDPR to erase the personal data, the Museumsverband Schleswig-Holstein und Hamburg e. V., taking into account available technology and implementation costs, shall take reasonable steps, including technical measures, to inform other controllers processing the published personal data that the data subject has requested the erasure of any links to, or copies or replications of, those personal data, as far as processing is not required. The employee of the Museumsverband Schleswig-Holstein und Hamburg e. V. will arrange the necessary measures in individual cases.

e) Right to Restriction of Processing

Every data subject has the right, granted by the European legislator, to obtain from the controller the restriction of processing where one of the following applies:

1. The accuracy of the personal data is contested by the data subject, for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data.
2. The processing is unlawful, and the data subject opposes the erasure of the personal data and requests the restriction of their use instead.
3. The controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but the data subject requires them for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.
4. The data subject has objected to processing pursuant to Article 21(1) of the GDPR pending the verification of whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override those of the data subject.

If one of the aforementioned conditions is met and a data subject wishes to request the restriction of personal data stored by the Museumsverband Schleswig-Holstein und Hamburg e. V., they may contact any employee of the controller. The employee will arrange the restriction of processing.

f) Right to Data Portability

Every data subject has the right, granted by the European legislator, to receive the personal data concerning them, which they have provided to a controller, in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format. They also have the right to transmit those data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to whom the personal data were provided, as long as the processing is based on consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) or Article 9(2)(a) of the GDPR, or on a contract pursuant to Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR, and the processing is carried out by automated means, as long as the processing is not necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.

Furthermore, in exercising their right to data portability pursuant to Article 20(1) of the GDPR, the data subject has the right to have the personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible and provided this does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.

To assert the right to data portability, the data subject may contact any employee of the Museumsverband Schleswig-Holstein und Hamburg e. V. at any time.

g) Right to Object

Every data subject has the right, granted by the European legislator, to object at any time, on grounds relating to their particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning them, which is based on Article 6(1)(e) or (f) of the GDPR. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions.

The Museumsverband Schleswig-Holstein und Hamburg e. V. shall no longer process the personal data in the event of an objection unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override the interests, rights, and freedoms of the data subject, or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.

If the Museumsverband Schleswig-Holstein und Hamburg e. V. processes personal data for direct marketing purposes, the data subject has the right to object at any time to processing of personal data concerning them for such marketing. This applies to profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing. If the data subject objects to the Museumsverband Schleswig-Holstein und Hamburg e. V. to the processing for direct marketing purposes, the Museumsverband Schleswig-Holstein und Hamburg e. V. will no longer process the personal data for these purposes.

Additionally, the data subject has the right, on grounds relating to their particular situation, to object to the processing of personal data concerning them for scientific or historical research purposes, or for statistical purposes pursuant to Article 89(1) of the GDPR, unless the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out for reasons of public interest.

To exercise the right to object, the data subject may directly contact any employee of the Museumsverband Schleswig-Holstein und Hamburg e. V. The data subject is also free to exercise their right to object in the context of the use of information society services, and notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, using automated means with technical specifications.

h) Automated Individual Decision-Making, Including Profiling

Every data subject has the right, granted by the European legislator, not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning them or similarly significantly affects them, as long as the decision (1) is not necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract between the data subject and a data controller, or (2) is not authorized by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard the data subject's rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, or (3) is not based on the data subject's explicit consent.

If the decision (1) is necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract between the data subject and a data controller, or (2) it is based on the data subject's explicit consent, the Museumsverband Schleswig-Holstein und Hamburg e. V. shall implement suitable measures to safeguard the data subject's rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express their point of view, and to contest the decision.

If a data subject wishes to exercise the rights concerning automated individual decision-making, they may contact any employee of the Museumsverband Schleswig-Holstein und Hamburg e. V.

i) Right to Withdraw Consent to Data Processing

Every data subject has the right, granted by the European legislator, to withdraw their consent to the processing of personal data at any time.

If the data subject wishes to exercise the right to withdraw consent, they may contact any employee of the Museumsverband Schleswig-Holstein und Hamburg e. V. at any time.

The controller has integrated the Matomo component on this website. Matomo is an open-source software tool for web analytics. Web analytics involves the collection, gathering, and analysis of data about the behavior of visitors to websites. A web analytics tool collects data, for example, about the website from which a person arrived (the so-called referrer), which subpages were accessed, how often they were visited, and for how long they were viewed. Web analytics is primarily used to optimize a website and to conduct a cost-benefit analysis of internet advertising.

The software is operated on the server of the controller, and the sensitive log files are stored exclusively on this server.

The purpose of the Matomo component is to analyze visitor traffic on our website. The controller uses the data and information obtained to evaluate the usage of the website and to compile online reports that show the activities on our web pages.

Matomo sets a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. Cookies have already been explained above. The placement of the cookie allows us to analyze the usage of our website. Each time an individual page of this website is accessed, the internet browser on the data subject's information technology system is automatically prompted by the Matomo component to transmit data to our server for the purpose of online analysis. During this technical process, we gain knowledge of personal data, such as the IP address of the data subject, which helps us understand the origin of visitors and their clicks.

Through the cookie, personal information is stored, such as the access time, the location from which access was made, and the frequency of visits to our website. With every visit to our website, these personal data, including the IP address of the internet connection used by the data subject, are transmitted to our server. These personal data are stored by us and are not shared with third parties.

The data subject can prevent the placement of cookies by our website, as described above, at any time through the appropriate settings of the internet browser used, thereby permanently objecting to the placement of cookies. Such a setting in the internet browser would also prevent Matomo from placing a cookie on the data subject's information technology system. Additionally, cookies already set by Matomo can be deleted at any time via an internet browser or other software programs.

Furthermore, the data subject has the option to object to the collection of data generated by Matomo related to the use of this website and to prevent such collection. To do this, the data subject must enable "Do Not Track" in their browser.

However, if an opt-out cookie is set, it may result in the websites of the controller no longer being fully usable by the data subject.

Further information and the applicable privacy policy of Matomo can be accessed at https://matomo.org/privacy/.

Article 6(1)(a) GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, as is the case, for example, with processing operations required for the delivery of goods or the provision of any other service or consideration, the processing is based on Article 6(1)(b) GDPR. The same applies to processing operations necessary for carrying out pre-contractual measures, such as inquiries regarding our products or services.

If our organization is subject to a legal obligation requiring the processing of personal data, such as for the fulfillment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Article 6(1)(c) GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may become necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This could occur, for instance, if a visitor were injured on our premises and their name, age, health insurance data, or other vital information had to be passed on to a doctor, hospital, or other third parties. In such cases, the processing would be based on Article 6(1)(d) GDPR.

Finally, processing operations could be based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. This legal basis applies to processing operations not covered by any of the aforementioned legal grounds if the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our organization or a third party, provided that such interests are not overridden by the interests, fundamental rights, and freedoms of the data subject. Such processing operations are particularly permissible because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. The legislator considered that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the controller (Recital 47, Sentence 2 GDPR).

If the processing of personal data is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, our legitimate interest lies in the execution of our business activities for the benefit of the well-being of all our employees and members.

The criterion for the duration of the storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After the expiration of this period, the corresponding data is routinely deleted, provided it is no longer required for the fulfillment or initiation of a contract.

We inform you that the provision of personal data is partially required by law (e.g., tax regulations) or can also result from contractual obligations (e.g., information about the contracting party). In some cases, it may be necessary for the conclusion of a contract that a data subject provides us with personal data that subsequently must be processed by us. For example, the data subject is obligated to provide us with personal data if our organization enters into a contract with them. Failure to provide personal data would result in the contract with the data subject not being concluded.

Before providing personal data, the data subject must contact one of our employees. The employee will inform the data subject on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of personal data is legally or contractually required, necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data, and the consequences of failing to provide the personal data.

As a responsible organization, we do not utilize automated decision-making or profiling.
