2. Data collection for system-internal and statistical purposes 

Your browser automatically transmits data to our web server for technical reasons when you access the ifa website. This data includes the date and time you accessed our site, the URL of the referring website, any retrieved files, the volume of data sent, the browser type and version, the operating system and your IP address. This data is stored separately from any other data you enter when using our website. It does not make or contain reference to your identity as a person. This data is logged in order to ensure system integrity, analyzed anonymously for statistical purposes and is usually deleted after 7 days.

3. Personal data collection and processing

In addition to the data described in point 2 of this privacy policy, we process your necessary personal data in order to provide you with the services of YouTube, Vimeo and others integrated on our website.
We do not use any cookies or trackers on this website.
We will not use your data for automated decision-making or profiling.

3.1 Data processing by YouTube

Our website contains embedded YouTube videos. We only enable access to YouTube. YouTube is a service offered by Google Inc. Please refer to YouTube’s data privacy policy youtube.com/t/privacy for information on the purpose and scope of data collection and use by Google as well as your rights and settings options for your data protection as a YouTube customer.
We have also structured the way we embed YouTube videos so that data is not transferred to YouTube until you click on “load video”.

3.2 Data processing by Vimeo

We cooperate with the service provider Vimeo to integrate videos. Vimeo is operated by Vimeo, LLC, headquartered at 555 West 18th Street, New York, New York 10011.
We use Vimeo plug-ins on some of our sites. Each time you access a page on our website that features a Vimeo plug-in, the plug-in causes your browser to load and display an image of the plug-in from the Vimeo server. Data regarding which of our sites you have accessed is thereby transferred to the Vimeo server. If you are logged on to Vimeo at that time, Vimeo will assign this information to your personal user account. Each time you activate a plug-in, i.e. by clicking on the start button of a video, this information is assigned to your user account. You can prevent this by logging out of your Vimeo user account and deleting the Vimeo cookies before logging on to our website.
For more information on data processing and data protection by Vimeo, see vimeo.com/privacy
We have also structured the way we embed Viemo videos so that data is not transferred to YouTube until you click on “load video”.

3.3 Data processing by Megaphone 

For the integration of audio on our website, we use the Megaphone service of the provider Spotify AB, headquartered at Regeringsgatan 19, SE-111 53 Stockholm, Sweden.
From our side, only the connection to Megaphone is enabled. For the purpose and scope of data collection and use by Megaphone as well as your rights and setting options, please refer to the data protection information of Megaphone megaphone.fm/terms/privacy
We have also integrated this service on our website in such a way that a transmission of data and the associated acceptance for the use of cookies and trackers by Megaphone only takes place if you consent to this by clicking on the audio integration.

4. Data transmission
Your personal data is transmitted over the Internet in encrypted form using SSL.
We only pass on your personal data to third parties after first obtaining your consent unless we are under legal obligation to do so or in order to protect the rights, property and security of ifa.
In cases where external service providers come into contact with personal data, we enforce mandatory legal, technical and organizational measures to guarantee compliance with data protection regulations.

5. Legal basis for data processing

The legal basis according to which your data is processed stems from your consent (according to Art. 6 para. 1 (a) GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation)). In cases in which ifa pursues its legitimate interests, processing is conducted in compliance with Art. 6 Abs. 1 (f) GDPR.

6. Links to other websites
Our website contains links to other websites. We have no influence on the compliance of operators of other websites with data protection regulations.
We are responsible for our own content according to general law. Our content is not to be mistaken with linked content of other providers. We assume no responsibility for third-party content, which is provided via links for use, and do not adopt their content as our own.
Liability for illegal, inaccurate or incomplete content and, in particular, for damages resulting from the use or non-use of such information is the sole responsibility of the provider of the site to which links are provided.

7. Your rights to your personal data
According to the General Data Protection Regulation, you have the right to obtain information about your stored personal data free of charge and, if necessary, the right to correct, restrict or delete such data at any time. To the extent we are required to comply with legal storage obligations, we shall block your data from further processing so that your data can no longer be used for the purposes mentioned above.
You also have the right to request that we send you in electronic form any of your personal data stored by us.
You may withdraw your consent that your data be stored or processed at any time. Should you choose to exercise this right, we will immediately delete your data that we have stored and block processing of any data that cannot be deleted due to legal requirements.

If you feel that ifa is not processing your data in compliance with current data protection laws, you have the right to appeal to a data protection supervisory authority of your choice.

8. Right to object on a case-by-case basis
You have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning you which is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR (data processing on the basis of a balance of interests); this also applies to profiling based on this provision within the meaning of Art. 4 (4) GPDR.
If you object, we will no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves the purpose of asserting, exercising or defending legal claims.

9. Data security
Your personal data is transmitted online in encrypted form. We use SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) encryption technology. Please note that online data transmission (e.g. even when communicating via email) may exhibit security gaps. It is not possible to guarantee full protection against access by third parties.
We use technical and organizational security measures to secure our website and other systems, keeping your data safe from loss, destruction, access, modification or processing by unauthorized parties. We continually update these security measures in line with the latest technology.
