When using the website https://inu.de for information purposes only, i.e. if you do not register or otherwise provide us with information, the browser used on your device automatically sends information to the server of our website. This information is temporarily stored in a so-called log file. The following information is collected without any action on your part and stored until it is automatically deleted:
We process the aforementioned data for the following purposes:
The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest follows from the purposes for data collection listed above. Under no circumstances do we use the data collected for the purpose of drawing conclusions about your person.
We also use cookies and analysis services when you visit our website. Here we differentiate between technically necessary cookies and those used for statistical recording and optimization. The latter are only used if you have given your consent. You will find more detailed explanations in sections 4 and 5 of this privacy policy.
Our website is not hosted by us, but by a service provider who processes the aforementioned data on our behalf in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR.
On our website, you have the option of subscribing to a free newsletter, which we use to inform you about new products and special promotions. When you register for the newsletter, the data from the input mask is transmitted to us. To receive the newsletter, it is sufficient to provide an e-mail address and a language selection. The provision of further data is voluntary and is used to address you personally and to send you more targeted information.
The following data is also collected during registration:
We use the so-called double opt-in procedure for sending the newsletter. This means that we will only send you an e-mail newsletter if you have expressly confirmed to us that you consent to the sending of newsletters. We will then send you a confirmation e-mail asking you to confirm that you wish to receive future newsletters by clicking on a corresponding link.
By activating the confirmation link, you give us your consent to the use of your personal data in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.
Our e-mail newsletters are sent via the technical service provider rapidmail GmbH, Wentzingerstraße 21, 79106 Freiburg (“rapidmail”). rapidmail uses the personal data provided by you to send and statistically analyze the newsletter on our behalf. The emails sent contain so-called tracking pixels for evaluation purposes. This allows us to determine whether a newsletter message has been opened and which links, if any, have been clicked on. Optionally, links in the email can be set as tracking links with which your clicks can be counted. This data is used exclusively for the statistical analysis of newsletter campaigns. The results of these analyses can be used to better adapt future newsletters to the interests of the recipients.
If you wish to object to data analysis for statistical evaluation purposes, you must unsubscribe from the newsletter.
We have concluded an order processing agreement with rapidmail in which we oblige rapidmail to protect our customers’ data and not to pass it on to third parties.
For more information, please refer to rapidmail’s data security information at: https://www.rapidmail.de/datensicherheit. For more information on the analysis functions of rapidmail, please refer to the following link: https://www.rapidmail.de/wissen-und-hilfe.
The legal basis for the processing of the data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.
The purpose of collecting the e-mail address is to deliver the newsletter. The collection of other personal data as part of the registration process serves to prevent misuse of the services or the email address used and to personalize the newsletter.
The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required for the purpose for which it was collected. After you have unsubscribed, your e-mail address will be deleted from our newsletter distribution list immediately, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data or we reserve the right to use data beyond this, which is permitted by law and about which we inform you in this declaration.
You can unsubscribe at any time, for example via a link at the end of each newsletter. Alternatively, you can also send your unsubscribe request at any time to [email protected] by e-mail.
This also makes it possible to withdraw consent to the storage of personal data collected during the registration process.
We offer you the opportunity to make general inquiries about study programs using a form provided on the website. You must provide a valid e-mail address, a telephone number, a title and a surname so that we know who the inquiry is from, as well as a course of study in order to be able to answer the inquiry. Further information can be provided voluntarily.
Data processing for the purpose of contacting us is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR.
The personal data collected by us for the use of the information request form will be automatically deleted after your request has been dealt with.
