Personal data

Personal data consists of information that can be used to identify a natural person. This information may include a name, address, email address, phone number, date of birth or even an IP address. We are permitted to collect, use and store personal data only to the extent provided for by law and the degree to which you have consented to data collection as a user.

The use of our website is usually possible without providing personal information. In cases where personal data (e.g. a name, address or email address) is collected on our website, this is provided on a voluntary basis.

As a general rule, we process personal data about our users only insofar as this is necessary to provide a fully functional website, which also includes providing related content and services. As a rule, the processing of personal data from our users typically requires their consent beforehand. One exception to this rule is cases where consent cannot be obtained beforehand for practical reasons and the processing of data in such cases is allowed by the provisions of applicable law.

Registration

Our website offers users the option of registering an account, which requires the entry of items of personal data. These items of data are entered in a form, which is submitted to us for storage on our servers. This data is not shared with third parties.

The following items of data are collected during the registration process:

• Username (any name can be chosen)
• Email address

At the time of registration, the following data is also collected:

• Username, password, email and IP address

The legal basis for processing the data is point (a) of art. 6(1) of the GDPR, with the user’s consent having been obtained. If registration is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the user is party or in order to take steps prior to entering into a contract, an additional legal basis is provided for processing by GDPR art. 6(1) point (b).

User registration is required in order to provide the following content and services on our website:

• Storage of arbitrary map compilations as WMC documents (these can then be reloaded by the user as required in subsequent sessions)
• Storage of search queries
• Subscription to availability monitoring as provided by registered map services (email notification for individual service outages)
• Application for service activations (usage of protected map services)

The following items of data are stored for registered users:

• User ID
• Username
• Email address
• Time of registration
• Time of last login
• Password hash
• Password hash for external use of protected services
• Search queries stored by the user
• Map compilations stored by the user (WMC documents)
• Activated protected services
• Spatial area unit for the optional ‘spatial’ intersection of protected services

During access to protected services by registered users, the user ID as well as the access parameters of the service are stored on a per-access basis. These items of data are used for billing as well as for technical support.

This data is erased once it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was originally collected, i.e. the contract has been performed in full and no legal retention periods are applicable.
Typically, the data collected is erased 90 days after contract conclusion.

As a user, you have the option of cancelling your registration at any time. You can also contact us to have your stored data amended at any time.

The account can be terminated as follows:
The account data can be erased by one of our members of staff. To request this, you can call us on +49 681 9712-03 or email us at geoportal.saarland@lvgl.saarland.de.

The data collected can be amended as followed:
When you are logged into the Geoportal, you can use the ‘Edit profile’ menu option to change your password and email address.

Access data/server log files

Each time our internet portal is accessed, our system collects data and information automatically from the device or computer accessing our website.

Categories of data subjects

The data subjects affected by the processing of personal data are all visitors to our website, insofar as they have consented to the processing or an exceptional case exists.

The following items of data are collected and are erased after a period of 7 days:

• IP address
• Date and time of request
• Client software on the requesting device, i.e. typically the browser type and the required access method/function
• Input values transferred (e.g. the target file)
• Web server access status (e.g. file transfer, file not found, command not executed) and the name of the file requested

The Geoportal log files are used for the purpose of statistical analysis. The following items of data are stored in this context:

• Unique users per hour
• Number of visits per hour
• Page hits per hour
• Accesses per hour
• Bytes transferred per hour
• URLs accessed
• HTTP error codes

The data is anonymised before analysis, and used to produce statistical reports to help with operations, security and optimising the services as provided.
This data is not aggregated with the user’s other personal data that we have stored.

The legal basis for the temporary storage of data and log files is provided by the purposes of legitimate interests pursuant to point (f) of art. 6(1) of the GDPR (business interest in website usage).

IP addresses are stored in log files to assure the website’s functional capability. This data is also used in order to optimise the website and to ensure the security of our information technology systems. The data is not evaluated for marketing purposes.
Data must be collected in order to provide the website to the user and data must be recorded in log files in order to operate the website.

Cookies

Our website uses cookies. Cookies are small files stored on the user’s access device (PC, phone, etc.) that facilitate the storage of specific information related to this device. These cookies improve the usability of webpages and also provide user functions (e.g. storage of login credentials). We use cookies in order to make our website more user-friendly. Some of our website features depend on being able to identify the accessing browser even when the user switches from one page to another.

The following types of data are stored and transferred in the cookies:

• Session
• User status
• Whether you accept cookies

Cookies are stored on your device only during the current session. The legal basis for the processing of personal data while using cookies is provided by the purposes of legitimate interest pursuant to point (f) of art. 6(1) of the GDPR (business interest in website usage).
The legal basis for the processing of personal data while using cookies for analysis purposes is provided by the corresponding consent given by the user for these purposes (GDPR art. 6(1) point (a)).

The purpose of using technically essential cookies is to simplify the use of the website for users. Some website features cannot be offered without the use of cookies. For these features, it is essential that the browser remains identifiable even after a page change.

On certain pages (e.g. the Map Viewer), cookies are used without notifying you, the user, that they are being used. Most browsers are configured so that they accept cookies automatically. These purposes also grant us a legitimate interest in the processing of personal data pursuant to point (f) of art. 6(1) of the GDPR.

You can change the settings in your web browser to deactivate or restrict the use and storage of cookies. Any cookies already stored can be deleted at any time. This can also be done automatically. If cookies are deactivated for our website, it is possible that some or all of the features on our website may no longer be usable (in full). The storage of Flash cookies cannot be altered in browser settings, but can be prevented by changing the settings in the Flash Player.

The service includes the sending of the IP address and possibly other data required by Google for the reCAPTCHA service to Google and is carried out in accordance with point (f) of art. 6(1) of the GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in determining individual ownership on the Internet and the prevention of abuse and spam.
