Data Protection Declaration

Data protection information on the processing of personal data pursuant to Art. 13 DSGVO in connection with the transparency requirement pursuant to Art. 12ff DSGVO.

Our enterprise takes the protection of personalised data very serious. We want you to know when we save what data and how we use it. When using and processing personalised data, we act in line with the requirements of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (EU GDPR) and the new German Federal Data Protection Act (FDPA).

Usage data

Using our Internet site principally required to disclose personalised data. In the event of any access to one of our sites, data is saved in a protocol file on your visit to the Internet site. This includes:

  • Name of the retrieved site or file
  • Calendar date, clock-time and status of the call
  • IP address
  • Browser type and version
  • Operating system and version
  • Referrer URL (name of the forwarding website, e.g., google.de)
  • Host name of the accessing computer

These protocol files and edited user statistics are made available to us by our web host. This data is not personalised; thus, we cannot retrace what user has retrieved what data. No forwarding to third parties or compiling with other data is undertaken. We would like you to note that any data transfer on the Internet (e.g., when communicating by e-mail) may have security gaps. No gapless protection of data is possible to protect data from being accessed by third parties.

Contact data

In individual cases, we require personalised data for certain offers and services. The data provided by you in such case, e.g., by e-mail, is disclosed to us on a voluntary basis and is used by us only for the purpose desired by you, e.g., for making contact. It is not disclosed to third parties.

The rights of parties concerned

Pursuant to Art. 15 et seq. GDPR, affected parties of the right of information, correction, deletion, restriction or objection regarding the use and processing of their data. Moreover, parties concerned pursuant to Art. 13 para. 2 item c GDPR have the right to revoke their consent to the use or processing of personalised data for the future, if such processing rests on Art. 6 para. 1 a or Art. 9 para. 2 a GDPR. The legitimacy of the processing due to the approval up to the revocation shall not be affected thereby. As a rule, however, any such revocation results in the consequence that the purpose for which the data had been raised, cannot be fulfilled. The legal effectiveness of such right requires the written form. For that purpose, please contact us by e-mail to:

For that purpose, please contact us by e-mail to: info@ihd-dresden.de

Deletion of personalised data

Personalised data is deleted if the purpose for saving it is dismissed and no legal requirement (e.g., legal retention periods) prescribes to maintain such data. The provisions of Art. 17 GDPR in conjunction with Section 35 FDPA apply. Should any deletion due to legal, contractual or trade or tax-law-relevant reasons render impossible, the use of such data can be restricted on request by the party concerned. The legal effectiveness of such right requires the written form.

The right of the party concerned of data transferability

The enterprise guarantees the right of data transferability pursuant to Art. 20 GDPR. Any party concerned has the right to obtain a copy of their personalised data in a commonly machine-readable format.

Consent Management

We have integrated the consent management tool "consentmanager" (www.consentmanager.net) from Jaohawi AB (Håltgelvågen 1b, 72348 Västerås, Sweden, info@consentmanager.net) on our website to obtain consent for data processing and use of cookies or comparable functions. With the help of "consentmanager" you have the possibility to give your consent for certain functionalities of our website, e.g. for the purpose of integrating external elements, integrating streaming content, statistical analysis, measurement and personalized advertising. With the help of “consentmanager” you can grant or reject your consent for all functions or give your consent for individual purposes or individual functions. The settings you have made can also be changed afterwards. The purpose of integrating “consentmanager” is to let the users of our website decide about the above-mentioned things and, as part of the further use of our website, to offer the option of changing settings that have already been made. By using “consentmanager”, personal data and information from the end devices used, such as the IP address, are processed. The legal basis for processing is Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. c) in conjunction with Art. 6 para. 3 sentence 1 lit. a) in conjunction with Art. 7 para. 1 GDPR and, in the alternative, lit. f). By processing the data, we help our customers (according to GDPR this is the responsible party) to fulfill their legal obligations (e.g. obligation to provide evidence). Our legitimate interests in processing lie in the storage of user settings and preferences with regard to the use of cookies and other functionalities. "Consentmanager" stores your data as long as your user settings are active. After two years after making the user settings, the consent will be asked again. The user settings made are then saved again for this period. You can object to the processing. You have the right to object to reasons arising from your particular situation. To object, please send an email to info@consentmanager.net.
