We are delighted that you are interested in the digitalHUB Aachen e.V. Data protection is of a particularly high priority for the management of the digitalHUB Aachen e.V. The use of the digitalHUB Aachen e.V. website is possible without entering any personal data. However, if a data subject wants to use special services provided by our association via our website, the processing of personal data could become necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary and if there is no legal basis for such processing, we will generally obtain the consent of the data subject.
The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, e-mail address, or telephone number of a data subject shall always be in line with the General Data Protection Regulation, and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to the digitalHUB Aachen e.V. Our association would like to inform the public about the type, scope and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process by using this Data Protection Declaration. Furthermore, the data subjects will be informed of their rights by means of this Data Protection Declaration.
As the controller, the digitalHUB Aachen e.V. has implemented numerous technical and organisational measures to ensure the most complete protection as possible of the personal data processed through this website. Nevertheless, Internet-based data transmissions may be subject to security vulnerabilities, so that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to submit personal data to us by alternative means, for example by telephone.
The digitalHUB Aachen e.V. Data Protection Declaration is based on the definitions used by the European Parliament and the Council for the adoption of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our Data Protection Declaration should be easy to read and understand for the public as well as for our customers and business partners. In order to ensure this, we would like to explain the terms used in advance.
We use the following terms, among others, in this Data Protection Declaration:

f) Pseudonymisation
Pseudonymisation means the processing of personal data in such a manner that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organisational measures to ensure that the personal data is not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.
g) Controller or data controller
The controller or data processor means the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data.

j) Third party
A third party means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or body other than the data subject, controller, processor and persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or processor, are authorised to process personal data.

The digitalHUB Aachen e.V. website uses cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored on a computer system via an Internet browser.
Numerous websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a string of characters by which websites and servers can be assigned to the specific Internet browser in which the cookie was stored. It enables the websites and servers visited to distinguish the individual browser of the data subject from other Internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific Internet browser can be recognised and identified by means of the unique cookie ID.
Through the use of cookies, the digitalHUB Aachen e.V. can provide the users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the cookie setting.
By means of a cookie, the information and offers on our website can be optimised for the benefit of the user. As already mentioned, cookies enable us to recognise the users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to use our website. For example, the user of a website that uses cookies does not have to re-enter his or her access data each time he or she visits the website, because this is done by the website and the cookie stored on the user’s computer system. Another example is a shopping basket cookie in an online shop. The online shop remembers the items that a customer has placed in the virtual shopping basket via a cookie.
The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of an appropriate setting of the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Furthermore, cookies that have already been set can be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all common Internet browsers. If the data subject deactivates the setting of cookies in the Internet browser used, not all functions of our website may be fully usable.
The digitalHUB Aachen e.V. website collects a series of general data and information every time a data subject or automated system calls up the website. This general data and information is stored in the log files of the server. The following data may be collected: (1) the browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system accesses our website (so-called referrer), (4) the sub-websites which are accessed via an accessing system on our website, (5) the date and time of an access to the website, (6) an Internet protocol address (IP address), (7) the Internet service provider of the accessing system and (8) other similar data and information that serve to avert danger in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.
When using these general data and information, the digitalHUB Aachen e.V. does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is needed (1) to deliver the contents of our website correctly, (2) to optimise the contents of our website and the advertising for these, (3) to ensure the long-term operability of our information technology systems and the technology of our website, and (4) to provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for prosecution in the event of a cyber attack. Therefore, the digitalHUB Aachen e.V. analyses anonymously collected data and information, and with the aim of increasing the data protection and data security of our association, so that we can ultimately ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from any personal data submitted by a data subject.
The data subject has the possibility to register on the website of the controller by providing personal data. Which personal data is transmitted to the controller in the process is determined by the respective input mask used for the registration. The personal data entered by the data subject is collected and stored exclusively for internal use by the controller and for his/her own purposes. The controller may arrange for the data to be transferred to one or more processors, for example a parcel service provider, who will also use the personal data exclusively for an internal use attributable to the controller.
By registering on the controller’s website, the IP address assigned by the Internet service provider (ISP) of the data subject, the date as well as the time of registration will also be stored. The storage of this data takes place against the background that only in this way can the misuse of our services be prevented and, if necessary, this data makes it possible to clarify criminal offences that have been committed. Insofar as the storage of the data to protect the data controller is required. As a matter of principle, this data is forwarded to third parties unless there is a legal obligation to forward it or the forwarding serves law enforcement purposes.
The registration of the data subject by voluntarily providing personal data serves the purpose of the controller to offer the data subject content or services which, due to the nature of the matter, can only be offered to registered users. Registered persons are free to modify the personal data provided during registration at any time or to have it deleted completely from the data inventory of the controller.
The controller shall provide any data subject at any time, upon request, with information about which personal data is stored on the data subject. Furthermore, the controller shall correct or delete personal data at the request or indication of the data subject, provided that this does not conflict with any statutory retention obligations. The entire staff of the controller is available to the data subject as contacts in this context.
On the digitalHUB Aachen e.V. website, users are given the opportunity to subscribe to our association’s newsletter. The personal data transmitted to the controller with the subscription of the newsletter is specified in the input mask used for this purpose.
The digitalHUB Aachen e.V. informs its customers and business partners at regular intervals through a newsletter about special association offers. The our association’s newsletter can basically only be received by the data subject if (1) the data subject has a valid e-mail address and (2) the data subject registers for the newsletter mailing. For legal reasons, a confirmation e-mail will be sent to the e-mail address entered by a data subject for the first time for the newsletter mailing using the double opt-in procedure. This confirmation e-mail serves to verify whether the owner of the e-mail address as the data subject has authorised the receipt of the newsletter.
When registering for the newsletter, we also store the IP address of the computer system used by the data subject at the time of registration as well as the date and time of registration, which is assigned by the Internet service provider (ISP). The collection of this data is necessary in order to be able to trace the (possible) misuse of a data subject’s e-mail address at a later point in time and therefore serves the legal safeguarding of the data controller.
The personal data collected in the context of a registration for the newsletter is used exclusively for sending our newsletter. Furthermore, subscribers to the newsletter could be informed by e-mail if this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or a related registration, as could be the case in the event of changes to the newsletter offer or changes in the technical circumstances. The personal data collected within the scope of the newsletter service is not forwarded to third parties. The subscription to our newsletter can be cancelled by the data subject at any time. The consent to the storage of personal data, which the data subject has given us for sending the newsletter, can be revoked at any time. A corresponding link can be found in each newsletter for the purpose of revoking consent. Furthermore, it is also possible to unsubscribe from the newsletter mailing directly on the website of the controller at any time or to inform the controller of this in another way.
The digitalHUB Aachen e.V. newsletter contains so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic that is embedded in such e-mails that are sent in HTML format to enable log file recording and log file analysis. This allows a statistical evaluation of the success or failure of online marketing campaigns. Based on the embedded tracking pixel, the digitalHUB Aachen e.V. may see if and when an e-mail was opened by a data subject, and which links contained in the e-mail were called up by the data subject.
Such personal data collected via the tracking pixel contained in the newsletters will be stored and analysed by the controller in order to optimise the newsletter mailing and to better tailor the content of future newsletters to the interests of the data subject. This personal data will not be disclosed to third parties. Data subjects are entitled to revoke the separate declaration of consent given in this regard via the double opt-in procedure at any time. After a revocation, this personal data will be deleted by the data controller. The digitalHUB Aachen e.V. automatically regards an unsubscribe from the newsletter as a revocation.
On the basis of statutory provisions, the digitalHUB Aachen e.V. website contains data that enable a quick electronic contact to our association, as well as direct communication with us. This also includes a general address of the so-called electronic mail (e-mail address). If a data subject contacts the controller by e-mail or by using a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject will be stored automatically. Such personal data transmitted on a voluntary basis by a data subject to the controller shall be stored for the purposes of processing or contacting the data subject. It will not be disclosed to third parties.
The controller processes and stores the data subject’s personal data of only for the period of time necessary to achieve the purpose of storage or where provided for by the European Directives and Regulations or other legislator in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject.
If the purpose of storage no longer applies or if a storage period prescribed by the European Directives and Regulations or other competent legislator expires, the personal data is routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with the statutory provisions.
a) Right to obtain confirmation
Every data subject shall have the right, granted by the European legislators and regulators, to obtain confirmation from the controller as to whether personal data concerning him or her is being processed. If a data subject wishes to exercise this right of confirmation, he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of the controller.
b) Right of access
Any person concerned by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European legislators and regulators, to obtain information about personal data relating to him or her which has been stored and a copy of that information at any time from the controller, free of charge. In addition, the European legislators and regulators Body has granted the data subject access to the following information:
Furthermore, the data subject shall have the right to obtain information as to whether personal data have been transferred to a third country or to an international organisation. If this is the case, the data subject also has the right to obtain information on the appropriate safeguards in connection with the transfer.
If a data subject wishes to exercise this right of access, he or she may contact any employee of the controller at any time.
c) Right of rectification
Any data subject who is subject to the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European legislators and regulators, to obtain the immediate rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning him or her. Furthermore, the data subject has the right to request the completion of incomplete personal data, including by means of a supplementary declaration, taking into account the purposes of the processing.
If a data subject wishes to exercise this right of rectification, he or she may contact any employee of the controller at any time.
d) Right to erasure (right to be forgotten)
Any data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European Data Protection Supervisor, to obtain from the controller the erasure without delay of personal data concerning him or her, where one of the following grounds applies and insofar as the processing is not necessary:
If one of the aforementioned reasons applies, and a data subject wishes to arrange for the erasure of personal data stored by the digitalHUB Aachen e.V., he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of the controller. The employee of the digitalHUB Aachen e.V. shall arrange for the deletion request to be complied with immediately.
If the personal data has been made public by the digitalHUB Aachen e.V. and our association as the controller is obliged to delete the personal data pursuant to Art. 17 (1) GDPR, the digitalHUB Aachen e.V. shall take all necessary steps to ensure that the personal data is deleted and implement suitable measures, including those of a technical nature, in order to inform other data controllers who process the published personal data that the data subject has requested from those other data controllers the erasure of all links to the personal data or to copies or replications of the personal data, taking into account the available technology and the cost of implementation insofar as the processing is not necessary. The employee of the digitalHUB Aachen e.V. will arrange what is necessary in individual cases.
e) Right to restriction of processing
Each data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European legislators and regulators, to obtain from the controller the restriction of processing if one of the following conditions is met:
If one of the aforementioned conditions is met, and a data subject wishes to request the restriction of personal data stored by the digitalHUB Aachen e.V., he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of the controller. The employee of the digitalHUB Aachen e.V. will arrange the restriction of the processing.
f) Right to data portability
Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislators and regulators to receive the personal data concerning him or her, which have been provided by the data subject to a controller, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. He or she shall also have the right to transmit such data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to whom the personal data have been provided, provided that the processing is based on consent pursuant to Article 6 (1)(a) GDPR or Article 9 (2)(a) GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Article 6 (1)(b) GDPR and that the processing is carried out by automated means, unless the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.
Furthermore, when exercising the right to data portability pursuant to Article 20 (1) GDPR, the data subject shall have the right to obtain the direct transfer of personal data from one controller to another controller where technically feasible and provided that this does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of other persons.
In order to assert the right to data portability, the data subject may at any time contact any employee of the digitalHUB Aachen e.V.
g) Right to object
Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European Directives and Regulations, to object at any time, on grounds relating to his or her particular situation, to processing of personal data concerning him or her which is carried out on the basis of Article 6 (1)(e) or (f) GDPR. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions.
The digitalHUB Aachen e.V. shall no longer process the personal data in the event of the objection, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims.
If the digitalHUB Aachen e.V. processes personal data for the purpose of direct marketing, the data subject shall have the right to object at any time to processing of personal data processed for such marketing. This also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to such direct marketing. If the data subject objects to the processing for direct marketing purposes to the digitalHUB Aachen e.V., the digitalHUB Aachen e.V. will no longer process the personal data for these purposes.
In addition, the data subject has the right, on grounds relating to his or her particular situation, to object to processing of personal data concerning him or her which is carried out by the digitalHUB Aachen e.V. for scientific or historical research purposes, or for statistical purposes pursuant to Article 89 (1) GDPR, unless such processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest.
In order to exercise the right to object, the data subject may directly contact any employee of the digitalHUB Aachen e.V. or another employee. It shall also be open to the data subject to exercise his or her right to object by means of automated procedures using technical specifications in the context of the use of information society services, notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC.
(h) Automated decisions on a case-by-case basis, including profiling
Every data subject concerned by the processing of personal data shall have the right, granted by the European legislators and regulators, not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning him or her or similarly significantly affects him or her, provided that the decision (1) is not necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract between the data subject and the controller, or (2) is authorised by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and that such law lays down appropriate measures to safeguard the data subject’s rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, or (3) is made with the data subject’s explicit consent.
If the decision (1) is necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract between the data subject and the controller, or (2) it is made with the data subject’s explicit consent, the digitalHUB Aachen e.V. shall implement suitable measures to safeguard the data subject’s rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, which include at least the right to obtain the data subject’s involvement on the part of the controller, to express his or her point of view and contest the decision.
If the data subject wishes to exercise the rights concerning automated decisions, he or she may contact any employee of the controller at any time.
i) Right to withdraw consent under the Data Protection Regulation
Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European Directive and Regulation to withdraw consent to the processing of personal data at any time.
If the data subject wishes to exercise the right to withdraw consent, he or she may contact any employee of the controller at any time.
The data controller collects and processes the personal data of applicants for the purpose of handling the application procedure. The processing may also take place electronically. This is in particular the case when an applicant submits relevant application documents to the controller by electronic means, for example by e-mail or via a web form located on the website. If the controller concludes an employment contract with an applicant, the transmitted data will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in compliance with the statutory provisions. If the controller does not conclude an employment contract with the applicant, the application documents are automatically deleted two months after the notification of the rejection decision, provided that no other legitimate interests of the controller conflict with such deletion. Other legitimate interest in this sense is, for example, a duty to provide evidence in proceedings under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).
Article 6 I letter a GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing operations for our association in which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, as is the case, for example, with processing operations that are necessary for the delivery of goods or the provision of another service or consideration, the processing is based on Article 6 I letter b GDPR. The same applies to processing operations that are necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, for example in the case of enquiries about our products or services. If our association is subject to a legal obligation by which the processing of personal data becomes necessary, such as for the fulfilment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 I letter c GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data might become necessary in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were to be injured on our premises and his/her name, age, health insurance details or other vital information had to be forwarded to a doctor, hospital or other third party. Then the processing would be based on Art. 6 I letter d GDPR. Finally, processing operations could be based on Art. 6 I letter f GDPR. Processing operations are based on this legal foundation, which are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal foundations, if the processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our association or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject(s) are not overridden. Such processing operations are permitted to us in particular because they were specifically mentioned by the European legislators. In this respect, it took the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the controller (Recital 47, sentence 2 GDPR).
If the processing of personal data is based on Article 6 I letter f GDPR, our legitimate interest is the performance of our business activities for the benefit of the well-being of all our employees and shareholders.
The criterion for the duration of the storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After expiry of this period, the corresponding data is routinely deleted if it is no longer required for the fulfilment or initiation of a contract.
We would like to inform you that the provision of personal data is sometimes required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or may also result from contractual regulations (e.g. information on the contractual partner). Sometimes, in order to conclude a contract, it may be necessary for a data subject to provide us with personal data that must subsequently be processed by us. For example, the data subject is obliged to provide us with personal data if our association concludes a contract with him or her. Failure to provide the personal data would mean that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded. Before providing personal data, the data subject must contact one of our employees. Our employee will inform the data subject on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of the personal data is required by law or by contract or is necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data and what the consequences of not providing the personal data would be.
As a responsible association, we do not use automated decision-making or profiling.
