Data protection

This privacy policy is intended to inform users of this website about the nature, scope, and purpose of the collection and use of personal data by the website operator, the City of Friedrichshafen, in accordance with the Federal Data Protection Act, the Telecommunications Digital Services Data Protection Act, and the EU General Data Protection Regulation.

The website operator takes your data protection very seriously and treats your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory provisions. The operator has therefore taken measures to ensure that the data protection regulations are observed both by itself and by its external service providers.

Each time this website is accessed and each time a file is retrieved, general data is automatically stored in a log file (“server log file”). The following data is logged:

• Website visited
• Page accessed
• Time of access to the website
• Amount of data sent in bytes
• Size of the transferred file
• Status code returned by the web server
• Last page accessed (referrer, source/reference from which the website visitor accessed the page)
• User agent/browser used by the website visitor
• Operating system used by the website visitor
• IP address used by the website visitor

The data collected is used solely for system-related and statistical evaluations and to improve the website. However, the website operator reserves the right to check the server log files retrospectively if there are concrete indications of illegal use. The data will not be passed on to third parties or evaluated in any other way, unless there is a legal obligation to do so.

Personal data such as your name, address, telephone number, or email address will only be processed (collected, used, or stored) if you use one of the services offered on the website, in particular the contact options and forms. Your personal data will then be processed exclusively for the purpose for which it was collected. This data will not be passed on to third parties without your consent. Your personal data will be deleted after your request has been processed or after a limited period of time has elapsed. Detailed information on data protection for the individual online services can be found directly with the service offered.

This website uses cookies for the following functions:

Statistics: Matomo

We use the open source service Matomo from InnoCraft Ltd in New Zealand (https://matomo.org) on our website to analyze user behavior when visiting our site and to optimize our site and its content accordingly. We do not receive any information that could be used to directly identify you.

When using Matomo's website analysis, cookies are used to enable statistical evaluation of the use of this website by your visits. Information—including personal information—about your visitor behavior is stored in the cookie and processed in a usage profile for analysis using a pseudonym.

Matomo is hosted on the website server that also hosts the website itself. The data obtained during the evaluation is not passed on to third parties and is not used to identify you personally. The data is also not merged with personal data about you as the bearer of the pseudonym.

If IP addresses are collected, they are anonymized immediately after collection by deleting the last number block. Other personal data in the cookie is deleted after 365 days.

Data processing is based on our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR in optimizing our online offering and our website.

Matomo deactivation cookie – You can decide whether a unique web analysis cookie may be stored in your browser to enable the website operator to collect and analyze various statistical data. If you wish to opt out, click here. Your visit will then no longer be recorded and the Matomo deactivation cookie will be stored in your browser.

Please note the following information in case of deactivation: Your browser must allow cookies to be stored in order for Matomo deactivation cookies to be stored. If you regularly delete your cookies, you will need to click on the link again each time you visit this website: Reject/accept cookies

Google Maps / Google Earth

This website uses maps from Google Maps. To do so, the website operator also uses services provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

The maps are integrated in such a way that user data is only transferred to Google if consent to the transfer of data to third parties has been given in the cookie notice (Consent Manager). The legal basis for consent is § 25 (1) TDDDG and Art. 6 (1) a) GDPR. When you give your consent and call up maps, your browser loads the necessary information from the Google server in the USA into your browser cache. This is necessary so that your browser can display the maps on this website. In doing so, the Google server is informed which of our web pages you have visited. In addition, your IP address is stored by Google. Google also processes personal data in the USA.

Further information on Google Maps can be found at https://www.google.com/intl/de_de/help/terms_maps.html. 
General information on data protection at Google can be found at https://policies.google.com/privacy.
