Dear website visitor,
Thank you for visiting our website! We appreciate your interest in the DIFUTURE project. By means of this data protection declaration, we would like to inform you below about the data processing of your personal data (hereinafter referred to as “data”) resulting from your visit to or use of the functions of our websites.
We ask you to read this data protection declaration carefully before you continue to visit our websites or use the functions contained on the websites.
By visiting our websites, you consent to the processing and use of your data as described below.
Our privacy policy is only valid for our websites and not for the websites of third parties.

Scope of data collection, processing and use
As a matter of principle, we aim to limit the collection, processing and use of personal data during your visit to our website to the minimum necessary. As a rule, we also only collect the data from you that we absolutely need to fulfil the purpose. At present, this is only access data (see section Access data/server log files).
Purpose of the data processing
For statistical analyses and to improve and maintain the website, we store data on access to the site (stored as ‘server log files’).
Access data/server log files
To improve the design and content of our websites, the functions of our online presence and the user-friendliness of our websites, we collect, process and use the following data and store it temporarily in log files:
- Date and time of the website visit
- the website from which you accessed our web pages (if transmitted by the requesting web browser)
- the operating system you are using and the browser you are using (if transmitted by the requesting web browser)
- the IP address with which you visit our websites
- the language settings used on your device
- the pages of our website you have visited or the files you have downloaded from our website
- Access status (requested file transferred, not found, etc.)
- Name, URL and transferred data volume of the retrieved file
- the amount of data transferred during your visit to our website
- a message as to whether your visit to our website was successful
The data in this log file is processed as follows:
- The log entries are continuously analysed automatically in order to detect attacks on the web servers and react accordingly.
- In individual cases, i.e. reported malfunctions, errors and security incidents, they are analysed manually.
- Log entries that are older than seven days are anonymised by shortening the IP address.
- The anonymised logs are used to create access statistics.
We collect, process and use this data exclusively for the aforementioned statistical and non-commercial purposes in anonymised or pseudonymised form, so that any inference to your person is prevented as far as possible.
Cookies
We use “cookies” on our websites. Cookies are text files that are placed on the memory of the device from which you have accessed our website.
We use both permanent cookies and temporary cookies (so-called session cookies). Persistent cookies can be stored on your device for a few seconds to several years. Temporary cookies are automatically deleted as soon as you close your browser or end the session.
Cookies help us
- to identify the frequency of visits to the website areas
- to recognise the preferences of our website visitors and to be able to optimally design the websites accordingly
- to facilitate navigation on our websites and thus increase the user-friendliness of our websites
- to retain information over a certain period of time and to identify the computer of website visitors as soon as they return to our websites. This makes it possible, for example, to use the settings you have previously selected so that you do not have to make the settings again (e.g. language settings, log-in information).
If you do not want cookies to be stored on your device, you can set your browser so that it notifies you when cookies are placed or does not accept them. You can also decide whether you want to accept or block only a few or all categories of cookies. You can find further information on handling cookies in the online help of the browser you are using.
If you block cookies used by us, we would like to inform you that you may not be able to use individual functions of our website or only to a limited extent.

A transfer to third parties or a transfer to our partners of your data collected, processed or used by us does not take place without your express consent, unless this is necessary:

- to enforce the rights of third parties or within the scope of the legal obligation to provide information or a court order to provide information.
Data transmission abroad
A transfer of your data to organisations in countries outside the European Union is not necessary due to our activities and therefore does not currently take place.
