2. Subject of data protection
The subject of data protection is personal data. This is all information that relates to an identified or identifiable natural person (so-called affected person). These include e.g. Information such as name, postal address, e-mail address or telephone number, but also information that necessarily arises during the use of Christophorus, such as information on the beginning, end and extent of use and the transmission of your IP address.
3. Type, scope, purpose and legal basis of automated data processing
The use of Christophorus is generally possible without registration. Even if you use Christophorus without registration, personal data can be processed.
Below you will find an overview of the type, scope, purposes and legal basis of the data processing of Christophorus.
3.1 Provision of our online service
When accessing Christophorus through your device, we automatically process the following data:
- date and time of access,
- duration of the visit,
- user devices,
- used operating system,
- the features you use
- amount of sent data,
- type of event,
- IP address,
- referrer URL
- domain name
These data are processed on the basis of Article 6 (1) (f) of the GDPR to provide the service, to ensure the technical operation and to detect and eliminate interference. We are pursuing the interest of enabling and permanently securing the use of Christophorus and its technical functionality. When Christophorus is accessed, this data is processed automatically. Without this provision, you will not be able to use our services. We do not use this data for the purpose of drawing any conclusions about you or your identity.
We usually delete this data after 90 days, unless we exceptionally need it for the purposes mentioned above. In such a case, we will delete the data immediately after use.
3.2 Cookies
When you visit Christophorus, so-called "cookies", ie small files, can be stored on your device in order to offer you a comprehensive range of functions, to make your usage more comfortable and to optimize our offers. If you do not want to use cookies, you can prevent the storage of cookies on your device by by adjusting the settings of your internet browser or use of the separate contradiction option. Please note that the functionality of our offer may be limited. For detailed information on the nature, extent, purposes, legal bases and possibilities of contradicting the processing of cookies, please refer to our Cookie Policy.
3.3 Social Plugins
Some sections of our website use so-called social plug-ins of social networks, such as Facebook, Twitter, Google+ or LinkedIn. The plugins are recognizable by the logo of the respective social network and serve primarily to "share" our contents.
As soon as you visit a website with an activated social plugin, your browser uses the social plugin to establish a direct connection to the servers of the respective social network and transmit data about your visit to the social network. Even if you are not a member of one of the social networks, there is a possibility that they will use the social plugin to learn and save data such as your IP address.
The social plugins on our website are disabled by default. To use the social plugins you have to activate them by clicking on the corresponding button, for example to share a page on a social network.
If you have activated the use of the respective social plugin, we process the following data and transmit it to providers of the respective social network:
- date and time of access,
- visited page of Christophorus,
- IP address
Your data will be processed to enable you to share certain articles of Christophorus within the social networks based on Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR.
As long as the social plugin is not activated, no data will be sent to the social network. Once activated, the social plugin connects to the social network servers and remains active until you disable it or delete your cookies.
Activation establishes a direct connection to the server of the respective social network. The content of the social plugin is transmitted by the social network directly to your browser, which integrates it into the visited website. Therefore we have no influence on the amount of data collected by the social plugin.
For more information on the purpose and scope of the data collection, as well as the further processing and use of the data by the respective social networks, your rights in this regard as well as setting options for the protection of your privacy, please refer to the privacy policy of the social networks.

5. Data processing in third countries
If a data transmission takes place in locations whose origin or place of data processing is not located in a Member State of the European Union or in another Contracting State to the Agreement on the European Economic Area, we ensure before the transfer, except in the case of exceptionally permitted by law, to the recipient either an adequate level of data protection exists (eg through a European Commission adequacy decision, through appropriate safeguards such as self-certification of the EU-US Privacy Shield beneficiary or agreement of so-called EU standard contractual clauses with the beneficiary) or you give your sufficient consent to the transfer of data.
You can obtain from us an overview of the recipients in third countries and a copy of the specific arrangements agreed to ensure the appropriate level of data protection. Please use the information in section 1.
6. Storage duration
The storage period for personal data can be found in the respective chapter on data processing in relation to certain services and functions in Section 3 and Section 4. In addition, we generally retain your personal data only as long as this is necessary for the fulfillment of the purpose or - case of consent - as long as you have not revoked the consent. In the event of an objection, we will delete your personal data, unless its further processing is permitted in accordance with the relevant statutory provisions. We delete your personal data even if we are obliged to do so for legal reasons.
