3.1 What is personal data?

3.1.1 According to Art. 4 (1) GDPR, ‘personal data’ means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (‘data subject’); an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.

In this context, we collect information about your visits to our website, such as the amount of data transferred, the location from which you access data from our website, and other connection data and sources you access. This is usually done through the use of log files, cookies or other third party tools (see 5.2).

Each time you access a page and each time you retrieve a file, access data about that process is stored in a log file on our server. Essentially the page from which the file was requested, location of the page, the name of the file, your current IP address, date and time of the request, the access status (file transferred, file not found etc.), transferred data volume, browser type and language of the browser (referrer and user agent) are recorded.

In addition, ARTE processes your personal data for analysis and presentation purposes. Please refer to Section 5.2 for further information on the purpose and the legal basis.

Should ARTE Generali GmbH wish to process your personal data for a purpose not mentioned above, ARTE will inform you in advance within the framework of the statutory provisions.

3.3 Duration of data storage

We delete your personal data as soon as they are no longer required for the above-mentioned purposes. In doing so, personal data may be retained for the time during which claims can be asserted against ARTE Generali GmbH (statutory limitation period of three or up to thirty years). In addition, we store your personal data to the extent that we are legally obliged to do so; the storage periods thereafter are up to ten years. The log file information listed in Section 3.4 is stored for a maximum of thirty days.

3.4 Automatically collected usage data

Every time the website is used, so-called usage data is logged in server log files - as is customary on the Internet. This usage data is automatically transmitted by your Internet browser. The information is as follows:

Data whose further storage is required for evidential purposes is excluded from deletion until the respective incident has been finally clarified. Log file information may be passed on to investigating authorities in individual cases. In all other cases, log file information is stored and statistically evaluated exclusively in anonymized form in order to continuously improve this website, to adapt it to the interests of the users and to find or correct errors more quickly (see section 5).

The analyses do not allow any conclusions to be drawn about the name or the person hiding behind the pseudonym.

6. Passing on your personal data to third parties

In order to fulfil our contractual obligations with you, we are entitled to pass on your data to our service providers.

We may also share your personal information with third parties when we offer promotions, sweepstakes, contracts or similar services with partners. You will receive further information on this when you enter your personal data or in the description of the respective offer.

Furthermore, we do not pass on your personal data to third parties unless you have consented to the passing on of data or we are entitled or obliged to pass on data due to legal regulations and/or official or court orders. In particular, this may involve providing information for the purposes of criminal prosecution, averting danger or enforcing intellectual property rights.

The contracted service providers and partners act within the framework of contractual obligations which ensure that they fully comply with the requirements of all applicable data protection regulations, including the necessary technical security measures.

  

7. Data security

ARTE is part of german Generali Group, which makes great technical and organizational efforts to protect your personal data from loss, falsification or unauthorized access. In the event that you wish to contact us by e-mail, we would like to point out that the confidentiality of the information transmitted cannot necessarily be guaranteed, since the contents of unencrypted e-mails may be exposed to spying attacks by unauthorized third parties during transmission. Most e-mail providers already use automatic transport encryption procedures to ensure confidentiality in e-mail traffic. Please contact your e-mail provider to find out whether they also use the TLS procedure. Otherwise, you should consider switching to an email provider that supports TLS to ensure sufficient encryption.

In addition to the TLS transport encryption method, we also offer end-to-end PGP encryption to protect the confidentiality of your sensitive data. Using PGP, your e-mails are encrypted in such a way that only the intended recipient can read them.

Further information on data security can be found in the section "Datensicherheit" (available on the homepage https://www.generali.de/ueber-generali/datenschutz/).

  

8. Amendment of the data protection provisions

ARTE reserves the right to change these data protection provisions at any time without prior notice. A current version can be found on our website at any time. Please inform yourself each time you use the contact page about the data protection provisions applicable at the time. In addition, we will inform you about this in text form.
