Our website uses Matomo (https://matomo.org/), an open source software for analyzing visitor access to our website. Matomo uses so-called cookies - text files that are stored on your computer and enable your use of the website to be analyzed. 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. That is why we do not directly implement the various social plugins. We only place links to these social networks on our pages. The corresponding social plugins are only activated when you follow the links.

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

If you activate data transmission by clicking on the corresponding link, the following data transmission will take place:

Facebook

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

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

We would like to point out that, as the website operator, we have no knowledge of the content of the transmitted data or its use by Facebook. Further information on this can be found in Facebook's privacy policy at http://de-de.facebook.com/policy.php.

If you do not want Facebook to be able 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 website. 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 of companies, 1601 Willow Road, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA.

If 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 receives the information that your browser has accessed the corresponding page of our website, even if you do not have an Instagram account or are not currently logged in to Instagram. This information (including your IP address) is transmitted directly from your browser 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 links to the YouTube social network page. We also operate a social media page here.

If you click on a link to YouTube, you will be redirected to the relevant YouTube page. 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, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland group of companies.

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 you can find here: http://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/

We base the use of YouTube on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) EU GDPR. By clicking on the link and logging in to YouTube at the same time, 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 the route 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 via a (reverse) proxy on our website. You can find more information at https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/DE:Legal_FAQ

The legal basis for the use of OpenStreetMap is Art. 6 I S. 1 lit. e) GDPR i.V.m. § 4 LDSG.

Stage

To make social media content accessible to visitors to the city's website without having to use the channels, the city of Rastatt uses the service of Jaimo Solutions GmbH. This displays the content of the city's social media channels in a widget on this page of the city's website.

Content from Facebook and Instagram is displayed in such a way that it is loaded by a processor, not by Facebook or Instagram itself. An analysis of the retrieval behavior does not take place there.

Click here for the privacy policy of Jaimo Solutions GmbH.

Your data will be stored by us for as long as is necessary for the final processing of your request. If there are statutory 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 anonymized as soon as it is collected and the results are stored for a maximum of 14 months.

Data collected, stored and used

ReadSpeaker does not collect or 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 available on a website and can be read, it can be sent to Readspeaker's data centers to be converted into audio files. If there is no personal data on the website, no data is processed by webReader.

There are two types of protocols that are used for different purposes.

Web server protocols

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 people with specific roles related to maintenance. Web server log records older than 30 days are permanently deleted.

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

Statistics logs

Statistics are saved per activation. An activation occurs when a user clicks on the "Read aloud" button to have content read aloud. The statistics log contains the URL from which the read aloud button was activated. If the URLs are not unique for each user, no user information is saved.

Caching

The data required for webReader to function optimally consists of the audio files, which are only stored temporarily in our cache on disc by default. The cache is dynamic. Depending on how often requests are received from users, a cached file remains for 20 minutes or longer. It is deleted if 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 will not be passed on to third parties.
