Collecting general information

This website is operated on a web server which, on the basis of our legitimate interest within the meaning of article 6 of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) creates log files in which the accesses are logged with IP (access log files). These data will be automatically deleted after 90 days and are intended solely to ward off possible attacks by hackers on the system and for error analysis. These log files are accessed by our ISO 9001:2008 system administrators. The administrators are regularly trained on their special position in dealing with user data.

The following data is recorded in the log files:

  • Browser type and browser version
  • operating system used
  • Referrer URL
  • Host name of the accessing computer
  • date and time of the server request
  • IP address of the accessing computer
  • transmitted status code
  • search terms entered in the search form
  • the retrieved document / page
  • Anonymous information of this kind is statistically evaluated by us, in order to optimize our internet appearance and the technology behind it.

Processing of personal data

We collect personal data only if it is permitted by law or if we have the consent of the users.

Our legal basis for data processing of the administrative district Nordwestmecklenburg are the Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the Data Protection Regulation of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and data protection regulations in special laws.

We lay special award to the compliance with the principles of the Data Protection Regulation, in particular to data avoidance and data economy, earmarking and transparency.

Use of Matomo (formerly PIWIK)

This website uses the open source web analytics service Matomo. Matomo uses cookies. The information generated by the cookie about the use of this website will not be disclosed to third parties. You can prevent the storage of cookies by a corresponding setting of your browser software. We point out, however, that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of this website in full.

If you do not agree with the storage and evaluation of this data from your visit, you can subsequently object to the storage at any time. In this case, a so-called opt-out cookie is stored in your browser, with the result that Matomo does not collect any session data. Keep in mind, however, that if you delete your cookies, the opt-out cookie will also be deleted and may need to be reactivated by you on a subsequent visit to this website.

Embedded YouTube videos

On some of our websites we embed YouTube videos. The corresponding plug-ins are operated by YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. When you visit a page with the YouTube plug-in, it will connect to YouTube's servers. YouTube will be informed which pages you visit. If you are logged into your YouTube account, YouTube can assign your surfing behavior to you personally. This can be prevented by logging out of your YouTube account beforehand.

If a YouTube video is started, the provider uses cookies that collect information about user behavior.

Anyone who has disabled the storage of cookies for the Google Ad program will not have to expect such cookies when watching YouTube videos. YouTube also stores non-personal usage information in other cookies. If you want to prevent this, you must block the storage of cookies in your browser settings.

For more information on data protection regarding YouTube, see the privacy policy of the provider at: https://www.google.de/intl/en/policies/privacy/.

Social plugins

Our websites use social plugins of the providers listed below. The plugins can be recognized by the fact that they are marked with the corresponding logo.

These plugins may be used to send information, which may include personal information, to the service provider who may use it. We prevent the unconscious and unwanted collection and transmission of data to the service provider through a 2-click solution.

To activate a desired social plugin, it must first be activated by clicking on the corresponding button. Only through this activation of the plugin the detection of information and its transmission to the service provider is triggered.

We do not collect personally identifiable information by means of social plugins or their use.

We have no control over what data an enabled plugin collects and how it is used by the provider. At present, it must be assumed that a direct connection to the servers of the provider will be started and at least the IP address and device-related information will be collected and used.

It is also possible that the service providers try to save cookies on the computer used. Please refer to the privacy policy of the respective service provider to see which specific data is collected here and how it is used. Note: If you are logged into Facebook at the same time, Facebook may identify you as a visitor of a particular page.

We offer you the possibility of using so-called "social media buttons" on our website. To protect your data, we rely on the solution "Shariff". As a result, These buttons are integrated on the website only as a graphic that contains a link to the corresponding website of the button provider. By clicking on the graphic you will be redirected to the services of the respective provider.

Only then will your data be sent to the respective provider. Unless you click on the graphic, there will be no exchange between you and the providers of the social media buttons. Information about the collection and use of your data in the social networks can be found in the respective terms of use of the Providers.

We have integrated the social media buttons of the following companies on our website:

  • Facebook Inc. (1601 S. California Ave - Palo Alto - CA 94304 - USA)

Changes to our privacy policy

We reserve the right to change this privacy policy from time to time to ensure that it complies with current legal requirements or to implement changes to our services, e. g. when introducing new services. Your new visit will be subject to the new privacy policy.
