Data privacy
Respecting and protecting the personal rights of our customers within the meaning of the German Federal Data Protection Act and the European General Data Protection Regulation is a fundamental principle for us – including in our online presence.
The purpose of the German Federal Data Protection Act is to protect individuals against impairment of their personal rights through the handling of their data. It is therefore an important concern for us to safeguard your personal rights in the handling of your data.
Our website takes this into account, for example:
If we wish to collect, process or use your data, you will be informed accordingly. You have the right to obtain information about your stored data. Please address any questions in this regard to our Data Protection Officer. All our employees are bound by confidentiality obligations. Our security measures reflect the current state of the art.
Use of cookies and statistical software
Deutsche Rück has made it a primary objective to respect the protection of personal data. In general, you can visit this website without disclosing any personal information. Deutsche Rück collects non-personal data for the purpose of assessing website usage and improving website content. Only anonymous information is used, such as domain names, number of visits and average time spent on our website. We analyse this data with regard to trends and statistics in order to provide visitors to our website with a better service.
This website uses Matomo, an open-source software application for the statistical analysis of user access. No other use is made of the data, nor is it passed on to third parties. Matomo uses so-called “cookies”. Cookies are text files stored on users’ computers that enable analysis of website usage. The information generated by the cookie concerning the use of this website is stored on our server in Germany.
This website uses cookies, i.e. text files stored on users’ computers. Different types of cookies are used: “Session cookies” and “persistent cookies”. A session cookie is a form of cookie that is deleted once the user closes the browser after the session. A persistent cookie is a form of cookie that is deleted only after a certain period of time. On the websites 75jahre.deutscherueck.de and 75years.deutscherueck.com, persistent cookies are deleted after 30 days. The cookies do not store any information enabling user identification, but merely a session identifier (session ID). This serves solely to assign multiple user requests on one page to the same session and to verify the validity of a session.
Newsletter distribution via CleverReach
Newsletters are distributed via the service provider CleverReach GmbH & Co. KG, Mühlenstr. 43, 26180 Rastede, Germany (hereinafter “CleverReach”).
Purpose of processing
The data entered during newsletter registration/subscription (e.g. email address) is stored on CleverReach servers within the EU. CleverReach uses this information for the distribution and evaluation of newsletters on our behalf.
Analysis
With the help of CleverReach, we are able to analyse our newsletter campaigns. When you open a newsletter sent via CleverReach, a file contained in the newsletter (known as a web beacon) connects to CleverReach servers. This makes it possible to determine whether a newsletter message has been opened and which links may have been clicked. In addition, technical information is collected (e.g. time of access, IP address, browser type, operating system). This data is used exclusively for the optimisation of our newsletter.
Legal basis and withdrawal of consent
Data processing is carried out on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You may withdraw this consent at any time, for example via the “unsubscribe” link at the end of each newsletter. The lawfulness of data processing operations already carried out remains unaffected by the withdrawal.
Storage period
The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required for the purpose for which it was collected. Following unsubscription from the newsletter, your data will be deleted from our mailing list and from CleverReach servers, provided no statutory retention obligations prevent this.
