Pursuant to Art. 2 para. 6 BayHSchG, Art. 4 para. 1 sentences 1 and 2 BayEGovG, we offer our services and administrative duties and inform the public about our activities on our websites.
Our presences on social media are part of our public relations work. Our aim is to inform and communicate with you appropriately for the target group, Art. 2 para. 6 BayHSchG. We make it possible for you to get in touch quickly electronically and to communicate directly via the media of your choice, § 5 para. 1 no. 2 TMG.
We block or delete any content, posts or requests that violate the rights of third parties, constitute a criminal offence or misdemeanour, or do not comply with legal or contractual obligations of conduct, and disclose them to the competent authority and/or social media service.
Insofar as other or more specific legal bases are relevant, we will provide separate information about this in this privacy statement.
Our IT service providers may also receive your personal data as part of the commissioned processing contracts that we have agreed. However, to ensure the security of our data processing systems, we do not disclose our service providers.
When you access this or other pages on the Internet, you transmit data to our web server via your browser. The following data are recorded during any ongoing connection for communications between your internet browser and our web server:
IP addresses are stored in anonymous format by removing the last one to three digits, e.g. “127.0.0.1” becomes “127.0.0.0”. IPv6 addresses are also anonymised. The anonymised IP addresses will be saved for 60 days. Details of the directory protection user used will be anonymised after one day.
It is absolutely necessary to collect the above-mentioned data and store it in server log files in order to operate the website. No user profiles are created from this data. There is no possibility for the user to object.
Log files are usually kept for a maximum of sixty days.

If you communicate an issue or an opinion to us by email, post, telephone, fax or social media, the information provided will be processed for the purpose of handling the issue, for any follow-up questions, and for exchanging opinions. We always use the same communication channel for this, unless you wish to switch channels.
Physical mail, emails and social media posts and messages will be deleted no later than 6 years after the end of the year in which the event in question occurs.
The website of Kempten University of Applied Sciences contains forms in which users can voluntarily enter personal data (e.g. name, address, email address, telephone number) for certain purposes (e.g. making contact). The data will be used solely for the purpose stated in the form and will be deleted after the process has been completed. Personal data will not be passed on, sold or otherwise transmitted to third parties. This information will only be used for marketing purposes (e.g. newsletters) with the express consent of the user. Users have the right to revoke their consent henceforth at any time. Unless there are legal reasons to the contrary, the data will be deleted immediately.
This website uses Matomo, an open source software for statistically analysing access by visitors. Matomo uses “cookies”, which are text files placed on your computer to help the website analyse how you use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is stored on the provider’s server in Germany. The IP address is anonymised immediately after processing and before it is stored. The last two bytes of the visitor’s IP address are masked.
Upon entering the website, users can decide for themselves whether their visit is to be recorded (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 litera a GDPR and § 25 para. 1 TTDSG). This is performed using the the consent management tool. Users can change their decision at any time by clicking the “Change cookie settings” button on the “Data protection” page.
YouTube videos are integrated into this website using framing in “extended data protection mode”, provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. YouTube videos are loaded via the youtube-nocookie.com domain, and they can only be shown with the user’s prior explicit consent (opt-in method), (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 litera a GDPR and § 25 para. 1 TTDSG). Simply loading a page with YouTube videos does not place a cookie, nor does it initiate any data processing.
If the user watches the video, it cannot be guaranteed that YouTube won’t initiate further data processing over which the website operator no longer has any control (e.g. placing cookies, reading stored cookies, establishing a connection with YouTube and the DoubleClick network).
We use the integrated opt-in method in order to give users the opportunity to object.
You can find information in the Chatbot data protection regulations for Kempten University of Applied Sciences.
According to the General Data Protection Regulation, you have the following rights:
If your personal data is processed, you have the right to obtain information about the data stored about you (Art. 15 GDPR).
If inaccurate personal data is processed, you have the right to rectification (Art. 16 GDPR).
If legal requirements are met, you can request deletion or restriction of processing and can also also object to processing (Art. 17, 18 and 21 GDPR).
If you make use of your above-mentioned rights, we will check whether the relevant legal requirements are met.
If you have consented to data processing, you can revoke this for the future at any time. f you have given consent on our website via our consent management tool, you can revoke or change this consent by clicking the “Change cookie settings” button on the “Data protection” page.
Furthermore, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Bavarian State Commissioner for Data Protection.
We maintain publicly accessible profiles on social networks. The individual social networks used by us can be found below.
Social networks such as Facebook, Twitter etc. can generally comprehensively analyse your user behaviour when you visit their website or a website with integrated social media content (e.g. like buttons or advertising banners). Visiting our social media presences triggers numerous processing operations that are relevant to data protection. In detail:
If you are logged into your social media account and visit our social media presence, the operator of the social media portal can assign this visit to your user account. However, your personal data may also be collected under certain circumstances if you are not logged in or do not have an account with the social media portal concerned. In this case, this data collection occurs, for example, via cookies that are stored on your end device or by recording your IP address.
With the help of the data collected this way, the operators of the social media portals can create user profiles in which your preferences and interests are stored. Thus, you can be shown interest-based advertising inside and outside the social media presence in question. Provided you have an account with that social network, the interest-based advertising may be displayed on all devices on which you are or were logged in.
Please also note that we are not able to track all processing procedures on the social media portals. Depending on the provider, further processing procedures may therefore be performed by the operators of the social media portals. For details, please refer to the terms of use and data protection provisions of the social media portals in question.
If you visit one of our social media sites (e.g. Facebook), we are jointly responsible with the operator of the social media platform for the data processing operations triggered during this visit. In principle, you can assert your rights (information, correction, deletion, restriction of processing, data portability and complaint) both against us and against the operator of the social media portal in question (e.g. against Facebook).
Please note that despite the joint responsibility with the social media portal operators, we do not have full influence over the data processing operations of the social media portals. The possibilities open to us are largely determined by the corporate policy of the respective provider.
The data collected directly by us via a social media presence will be deleted from our systems as soon as you request us to do so, revoke your consent to store it, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies. Cookies remain stored on your end device until you delete them. Mandatory legal provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.
We have no influence over the period for which your data is stored by the operators of the social networks for their own purposes. For details, please contact the operators of the social networks directly (e.g. in their privacy policy, see below).
