Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. an EU Data Protection Regulation (DGPR) serves as the legal basis.

In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person make it necessary to process personal data, Article 6 paragraph 1 letter d of the GDPR serves as the legal basis.

If the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our church or of a third party and if the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the former interest, Article 6 paragraph 1 letter f GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing.

3. Data erasure and storage duration

VI. Web analysis by Matomo

1. Scope of processing of personal data

We use the open source software tool Matomo (formerly PIWIK) on our website to analyse the surfing behaviour of our users. The software sets a cookie on the user’s computer (for cookies see above). If individual pages of our website are called up, the following data is stored:

1. Two bytes of the IP address of the user’s calling system
2. The accessed website
3. The website from which the user accessed the accessed website (referrer)

6. The frequency of visiting the website

The software is set so that the IP addresses are not stored completely, but 2 bytes of the IP address are masked (e.g.: 192.168.xxx.xxx). In this way, it is no longer possible to assign the shortened IP address to the calling computer.

2. Legal basis for the processing of personal data

The legal basis for the processing of users’ personal data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

3. Purpose of the data processing

The processing of the personal data of users enables us to analyse the surfing behaviour of our users.

These purposes also include our legitimate interest in processing the data in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR. By making the IP address anonymous, the interest of the users in their protection of personal data is sufficiently taken into account.

The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required for our recording purposes.

In our case this is the case after 6 months.

5. objection and elimination possibility

Cookies are stored on the user’s computer and transmitted by the user to our site. Therefore, you as a user also have full control over the use of cookies.
