Collection of general data and information

The website of the City of Jena collects a series of general data and information each time the website is accessed by a data subject or an automated system. This general data and information is stored in the server log files. The following can be recorded

  • (1) browser types and versions used,
  • (2) the operating system used by the accessing system
  • (3) the website from which an accessing system reaches the municipal website (so-called referrer)
  • (4) the sub-websites which are accessed via an accessing system on the municipal website
  • (5) the date and time of access to the website
  • (6) an internet protocol address (IP address),
  • (7) the internet service provider of the accessing system and
  • (8) other similar data and information used for security purposes in the event of attacks on the city's information technology systems.

When using this general data and information, the City of Jena does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. The data stored in the log files is not stored together with other personal data of the user.
The legal basis for the temporary storage of data and log files is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

This information is required in order to

  • (1) correctly deliver the content of the municipal website
  • (2) optimize the content of the municipal website and the advertising for it
  • (3) ensure the long-term functionality of the city's information technology systems and the technology of the website, and
  • (4) to provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for criminal prosecution in the event of a cyber attack.

Therefore, the City of Jena analyzes anonymously collected data and information statistically, with the aim of increasing the data protection and data security of the City of Jena, and to ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data processed by the City of Jena. The data is not analyzed for marketing purposes in this context.

The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. In the case of the collection of data for the provision of the website, this is the case when the respective session has ended. Data may be stored beyond this point. In this case, the IP addresses of the users are deleted or anonymized so that it is no longer possible to identify the accessing client.

The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of data in log files is absolutely necessary for the operation of the website. Consequently, the user has no option to object.

Cookies

The Internet pages of the City of Jena use cookies. Cookies are text files that are placed and stored on a computer system via an internet browser.

Numerous websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a string of characters that can be used to assign websites and servers to the specific internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This enables the websites and servers visited to distinguish the individual browser of the data subject from other Internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific Internet browser can be recognized and identified via the unique cookie ID.

Through the use of cookies, the City of Jena can provide the users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the cookie setting.

By means of a cookie, the information and offers on the website can be optimized for the benefit of the user. For example, the user of a website that uses cookies does not have to re-enter their access data each time they visit the website because this is taken over by the website and the cookie stored on the user's computer system.

The data subject may, at any time, prevent the setting of cookies through the municipal website by means of a corresponding setting of the Internet browser used, and may thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. Furthermore, cookies that have already been set can be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all common Internet browsers. If the data subject deactivates the setting of cookies in the Internet browser used, not all functions of the website may be fully usable.

The legal basis for the processing of personal data using cookies is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

Contact option via the website

Due to legal regulations, the website of the City of Jena contains information that enables quick electronic contact and direct communication, which also includes a general address for so-called electronic mail (e-mail address). If a data subject contacts the controller by email or via a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject is automatically stored. Such personal data transmitted on a voluntary basis by a data subject to the controller are stored for the purposes of processing or contacting the data subject. This personal data is not passed on to third parties.

Routine erasure and blocking of personal data

The controller shall process and store the personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage, or as far as this is granted by the European legislator or other legislators in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject to.

If the storage purpose ceases to apply or if a storage period prescribed by the European legislator or another competent legislator expires, the personal data will be routinely blocked or erased in accordance with the statutory provisions.

Rights of the data subject

a) Right to confirmation

Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller the confirmation as to whether or not personal data concerning him or her are being processed.

Furthermore, the data subject has a right to information as to whether personal data has been transferred to a third country or to an international organization. If this is the case, the data subject also has the right to obtain information about the appropriate safeguards in connection with the transfer.

If a data subject wishes to exercise this right to information, they can contact the City of Jena at any time.

c) Right to rectification

Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator of directives and regulations to demand the immediate correction of incorrect personal data concerning them.

If a data subject wishes to exercise this right to rectification, they can contact the City of Jena at any time.

d) Right to erasure (right to be forgotten)

Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European legislator, to obtain from the controller the erasure of personal data concerning him or her without undue delay where one of the following grounds applies and insofar as the processing is not necessary

If the City of Jena has made the personal data public and is obliged to erase the personal data pursuant to Article 17(1) GDPR, the City of Jena shall take reasonable steps, including technical measures, taking into account the available technology and the cost of implementation, to inform other controllers which are processing the personal data that the data subject has requested the erasure by such controllers of any links to, or copy or replication of, those personal data, as far as processing is not required. In individual cases, the necessary steps will be taken.

e) Right to restriction of processing

Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European legislator, to obtain from the controller restriction of processing where one of the following applies

f) Right to data portability

Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European legislator, to receive the personal data concerning him or her, which he or she has provided to a controller, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. He or she also has the right to transmit those data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to which the personal data have been provided, where the processing is based on consent pursuant to point (a) of Article 6(1) GDPR or point (a) of Article 9(2) GDPR or on a contract pursuant to point (b) of Article 6(1) GDPR and the processing is carried out by automated means, unless the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.

Furthermore, in exercising their right to data portability pursuant to Art. 20 (1) GDPR, the data subject has the right to have the personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible and provided that this does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.

The right to data portability does not apply to the processing of personal data necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.

To assert the right to data portability, the data subject may contact the City of Jena at any time.

g) Right to object

Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator of directives and regulations to object at any time, on grounds relating to his or her particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning him or her which is carried out on the basis of Article 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions.

The City of Jena shall no longer process the personal data in the event of the objection, unless it can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.

If the City of Jena processes personal data for direct marketing purposes, the data subject shall have the right to object at any time to processing of personal data concerning him or her for such marketing. This also applies to profiling insofar as it is associated with such direct advertising.

In addition, the data subject has the right, on grounds relating to his or her particular situation, to object to processing of personal data concerning him or her by the City of Jena for scientific or historical research purposes, or for statistical purposes pursuant to Article 89(1) of the GDPR, unless the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out for reasons of public interest.

To exercise the right to object, the data subject may contact the City of Jena directly. The data subject is also free, in the context of the use of information society services, and notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, to exercise his or her right to object by automated means using technical specifications.

h) Automated decisions in individual cases including profiling

Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning him or her, or similarly significantly affects him or her, as long as the decision

  • (1) is not necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between the data subject and the controller, or
  • (2) is authorized by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard the data subject's rights and freedoms and legitimate interests; or
  • (3) is made with the express consent of the data subject.

If the decision

  • (1) is necessary for entering into, or performance of, a contract between the data subject and the controller, or
  • (2) is made with the express consent of the data subject, the City of Jena shall take appropriate measures to safeguard the rights and freedoms and legitimate interests of the data subject, including at least the right to obtain the intervention of a person on the part of the controller, to express his or her point of view and to contest the decision.

If the data subject wishes to assert rights relating to automated decisions, they can contact the City of Jena at any time.

i) Right to withdraw consent under data protection law

Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator of directives and regulations to withdraw consent to the processing of personal data at any time. The withdrawal of consent shall not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal. If the data subject wishes to exercise his or her right to withdraw consent, he or she may contact the City of Jena at any time.

Data protection provisions about the application and use of Matomo

The data controller has integrated the Matomo component on this website. Matomo is an open source software tool for web analysis. Web analysis is the collection, gathering and evaluation of data about the behavior of visitors to websites. Among other things, a web analysis tool collects data about the website from which a data subject came to a website (so-called referrer), which subpages of the website were accessed or how often and for how long a subpage was viewed. Web analysis is mainly used to optimize a website and for the cost-benefit analysis of Internet advertising.

The software is operated on the server of the controller and the log files, which are sensitive under data protection law, are stored exclusively on this server.

The purpose of the Matomo component is to analyze the flow of visitors to this website. The controller uses the data and information obtained, among other things, to evaluate the use of this website in order to compile online reports that show the activities on the municipal websites. This helps to continuously improve the website and its user-friendliness. These purposes also constitute the legitimate interest in the processing of data in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. By anonymizing the IP address, the interest of users in the protection of their personal data is adequately taken into account.

Matomo places a cookie on the data subject's IT system. What cookies are has already been explained above. By setting the cookie, the city of Jena is able to analyze the use of the city's website. Each time one of the individual pages of this website is accessed, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the Matomo component to transmit data to our server for the purpose of online analysis. As part of this technical process, we obtain knowledge of personal data, such as the IP address of the data subject, which serves us, among other things, to trace the origin of visitors and clicks.

Cookies are used to store personal information, such as the time of access, the location from which access originated and the frequency of visits to our website. Each time you visit our website, this personal data, including the IP address of the internet connection used by the data subject, is transmitted to our server. This personal data is stored by us. This personal data is not passed on to third parties.

The software is set so that the IP addresses are not stored in full, but 2 bytes of the IP address are masked (e.g.: 192.168.xxx.xxx). In this way, it is no longer possible to assign the shortened IP address to the accessing computer.

The data subject may, as stated above, prevent the setting of cookies through the municipal website at any time by means of a corresponding adjustment of the web browser used and thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent Matomo from setting a cookie on the information technology system of the person concerned. In addition, a cookie already set by Matomo can be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or other software programs.

Furthermore, the data subject has the possibility of objecting to and preventing the collection of data generated by Matomo relating to the use of this website. To do this, the data subject must set an opt-out cookie. If the data subject's IT system is deleted, formatted or reinstalled at a later date, the data subject must set an opt-out cookie again.

With the setting of the opt-out cookie, however, there is the possibility that the Internet pages of the controller are no longer fully usable for the data subject.

Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of Matomo may be retrieved under https://matomo.org/privacy/.

Legal basis of the processing

Insofar as the consent of the data subject is obtained for the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis.

When processing personal data that is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures.

Insofar as the processing of personal data is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation to which the City of Jena is subject, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR serves as the legal basis.

In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. d GDPR serves as the legal basis.

In the event that the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the City of Jena, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. e GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing.

If the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of the City of Jena or a third party and if the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the former interest, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing.

Legal or contractual provisions for the provision of personal data; necessity for the conclusion of the contract; obligation of the data subject to provide the personal data; possible consequences of non-provision

The provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or can also result from contractual regulations (e.g. information on the contractual partner). Sometimes it may be necessary for a contract to be concluded for a data subject to provide personal data that must subsequently be processed by the city. For example, the data subject is obliged to provide personal data if the city concludes a contract with them. Failure to provide the personal data would mean that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded. Before the data subject provides personal data, the data subject must contact the city. The data subject will then be informed on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of the personal data is required by law or contract or is necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data and what the consequences would be if the personal data were not provided.

Existence of automated decision-making

The City of Jena does not use automated decision-making or profiling.

Use of YouTube

This website uses plugins from the YouTube site operated by Google. The operator of the pages is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave, San Bruno, CA 94066, USA.

The following services of Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA are used on this website:

  • Google Fonts (fonts)
  • Google Translate (website translator)
  • Google reCAPTCHA (security query)

Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of Google Inc. can be found at https://policies.google.com/privacy

Social networks

The City of Jena takes the current discussion about data protection in social networks very seriously. It is currently not legally clear whether and to what extent all social networks offer their services in accordance with European data protection regulations.

It is therefore expressly pointed out that the Twitter, Facebook, Xing, Instagram, Google+ and YouTube services used by the City of Jena store the data of their users (e.g. personal information, IP address) in accordance with their data usage guidelines and use it for business purposes. The City of Jena has no influence on the data collection and its further use by the social networks. For example, there is no knowledge of the extent to which, where and for how long the data is stored, the extent to which the networks comply with existing deletion obligations, which evaluations and links are made with the data and to whom the data is passed on.

Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority

Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement if you consider that the processing of personal data relating to you infringes the GDPR.

The supervisory authority with which the complaint has been lodged shall inform the complainant on the progress and the outcome of the complaint including the possibility of a judicial remedy pursuant to Art. 78 GDPR.
