Our website uses Matomo (https://matomo.org/), an open source software to analyze visitor traffic to our own website. Matomo uses so-called cookies - text files that are stored on your computers and allow an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about the use of this website is stored on our servers in Germany and is not passed on to third parties. Your IP address is anonymized immediately after processing and before it is stored. We base the use of the aforementioned analysis tool on: § 4 LDSG in conjunction with Art 6 para. 1 lit. e) EU-DSGVO.

The protection of your personal data is very important to us. Therefore, we do not directly implement the various social plugins. On our pages, we only set links to these social networks. Only when you follow the links, the corresponding social plugins are activated.

Please note that data is only transmitted when you have activated the corresponding social plugins by clicking on the corresponding link. Simply visiting our pages does not trigger any data transmission.

If you activate the data transfer by clicking on the corresponding link, the following data transfer will occur:

Facebook

Plugins of the social network Facebook (Facebook Ireland ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square Grand Canal Harbour Dublin 2 Ireland") are integrated on our site. You can recognize the Facebook plugins by the Facebook logo or the "Like button" ("Like") on our page. You can find an overview of the Facebook plugins here: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/.

A direct connection between your browser and the Facebook server is established via the plugin. Facebook thereby receives the information that you have visited our site with your IP address. If you click the Facebook "Like" button while logged into your Facebook account, you can link the content of our platform to your Facebook account. This allows Facebook to associate the visit to our site with your account.

We would like to point out that we, as the site operator, have no knowledge of the content of the transmitted data or its use by Facebook. For more information, please refer to Facebook's privacy policy at http://de-de.facebook.com/policy.php.

If you do not want Facebook to associate your visit to our site with your Facebook account, please log out of your Facebook account or do not activate the social plugins.

Instagram

Functions of the Instagram service are integrated on our site. These functions are offered by Instagram LLC, 1601 Willow Road Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA. Since 2012, Instagram LLC has been part of the Facebook Inc. group, 1601 Willow Road, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA.

When you interact with the plugins, for example by clicking the "Instagram" button, a direct connection is established between your browser and the Instagram server via the plugin. Instagram thereby receives the information that your browser has called up the corresponding page of our website, even if you do not have an Instagram account or are not currently logged into Instagram. This information (including your IP address) is transmitted from your browser directly to the Instagram server in the USA and stored there. This allows Instagram to associate your visit to our site with your Instagram account.

Use of the social plugins from YouTube

Our website also refers through links to the page of the social network YouTube. We also operate a social media page here.

If you click on a link to YouTube, you will be redirected to the respective page on YouTube. If you are also logged in as a member of YouTube, the operator, YouTube LLC, 901 Cherry Ave, San Bruno, CA 94066 USA, can assign your visit to our site to your respective user account. We would like to point out that YouTube LLC is part of the Google Ireland Limited group of companies, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

If you do not want YouTube to collect and store data about your visit to our website, you must log out of your YouTube account before clicking on the link.

For the purpose and scope of data collection and the further processing and use of your data by YouTube, please refer to the corresponding privacy policy, which can be found here: http://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/

We base the use of YouTube on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) EU-DSGVO. By clicking on the link and simultaneously logging in to YouTube, you give us your consent to data processing.

Use of OpenStreetMap

We use a map section from OpenStreetMap(https://www.openstreetmap.de/) on our website to show you how to get to our office and to make it easier for you to plan your journey.

OpenStreetMap is an open source mapping tool. When using OpenStreetMap, personal data is routed through a (reverse) proxy of our website. For more information, please visit https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/DE:Legal_FAQ

The legal basis for the use of OpenStreetMap is Art. 6 I S. 1 lit. e) DSGVO in conjunction with. § 4 LDSG.

Stage

In order to make social media content available to visitors of the municipal website without having to use the channels, the city of Rastatt uses the service of Jaimo Solutions GmbH. This displays the content of the municipal social media channels in a so-called widget on this website. Jaimo Solutions GmbH does not process any personal data. Click here for the privacy policy of Jaimo Solutions GmbH.

Your data will be stored by us for as long as it is required for the final processing of your request. If there are legal or otherwise prescribed retention obligations, your data will be stored for this period and then deleted. The statistical data collected via the "Matomo" analysis tool is already anonymized during collection and the results are stored for a maximum of 14 months.

Data collected, stored and used

ReadSpeaker does not collect and store any personal data. ReadSpeaker only logs how many clicks the reading function generates. With the exception of general web server logs, which are temporary, user-specific data is never collected, logged, or documented.

If personal data is present on a website and can be read, it can be sent to Readspeaker's data center to be converted into sound files. If there is no personal data on the website, no data will be processed by webReader.

There are two types of protocols used for different purposes.

Web server logs

These logs are required for troubleshooting and to prevent unlawful use. Web server logs store IP addresses. Access to these logs is restricted to a limited number of individuals with specific roles related to maintenance. Web server log records older than 30 days are permanently deleted.

Protocol information is restricted to technical personnel and accessible only through encrypted private channels with MFA. ReadSpeaker does not sell or share log information.

Statistics logs

Statistics are stored per activation. An activation occurs when a user clicks the Read Aloud button to have content read to them. The statistics log contains the URL from which the Read Aloud button was activated. Unless the URLs are unique to each user, no user information is stored.

Caching

The data required for webReader to function optimally consists of the audio files, which by default are stored only temporarily in our cache on disc. The cache is dynamic. Depending on how often requests are received from users, a cached file will remain for 20 minutes or more. It is deleted when it has not been used for 2 hours. A cached file is deleted after 24 hours, regardless of how often it is requested. Depending on the general load situation, these values can be adjusted to compensate for this.

Disclosure to third parties

The data collected is not passed on to third parties.
