If we become aware of any legal infringements, we will remove such links immediately.

We take the protection of your personal data very seriously at all companies in the Triologie group of companies (www.triologie.org). We treat your personal data as confidential and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations.
This Privacy Statement informs you about the processing of your personal data in the context of using the website www.triologie.org (the "website").
The controller within the meaning of the EU General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR") with regard to the processing of personal data in connection with the website is BusinessTriologie GmbH & Co. KG, Speyerer Straße 4, 69115 Heidelberg ("Triologie", "we", "us")
In the following, we explain what data we collect when you use our website, for what purposes and how we use this data and what rights you are entitled to. Please note that the website may contain links to websites of other providers on which we have no control and to which this privacy policy does not apply.
We only process your personal data insofar as this is necessary to provide a functional website and our content and services.
3.1 In principle, you can visit our website without providing us with any personal data. As is usual with most websites, our systems automatically record every access or retrieval of our website and temporarily store these in a log file ("log files"). The data stored in this context includes the following data in particular:
• IP address of the requesting computer
• Name and URL of the accessed file
• Date and time of access
• Access status / http status code
• Amount of data transferred in each case
• Identification data of the browser used
3.2 This data cannot be assigned to specific persons. Personal user profiles are also not created. The aforementioned data processing is carried out for the purpose of enabling the use of the website (connection establishment) and for internal system-related purposes (technical administration, system security). The data is stored in log files to ensure the functionality of the website. We also use this data to optimise the website and to ensure the security of our systems.
Insofar as the processing of data in the context of visiting the website involves personal data, the corresponding processing of this data is based on Art. 6 section 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR (legitimate interest). The legitimate interest is based on the above-mentioned purposes.
4.1 The Triologie Group website provides the option of contacting us by e-mail. If you contact us in this way or send us an enquiry, the personal data you send us by e-mail will be stored by us. We do not collect any mandatory data in this respect, but only receive and store the personal data that you send to us. This data is used exclusively for the purpose of processing the corresponding enquiry.
4.2 The legal basis for the processing of the aforementioned personal data is Art. 6 section 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR (legitimate interests). The legitimate interest arises from the fact that we can only carry out the action requested by the user (e.g. answering enquiries) by processing the user's data accordingly. If the contact is aimed at the possibility of concluding a business relationship with us, Art. 6 section 1 lit. b GDPR (fulfilment of contract and pre-contractual measures) is also the legal basis for the processing.

5.2 Web analysis service Matomo (formerly PIWIK)
Our website uses the web analysis service Matomo, further information can be found at: matomo.org. The service uses so-called "cookies". For more information, see the "Cookies" section above. We also use Matomo "on-premise", i.e. only the controller (and, if applicable, its processor) has access to the data. Our website uses Matomo exclusively with IP masking, which ensures anonymisation of the IP address by shortening it and excludes the possibility of direct personal references. This function means that your IP address is not stored and processed in full, but truncated and therefore anonymised.
Purposes of processing
Tracking (e.g. interest/behavioural profiling), visitor action evaluation, interest-based and behavioural marketing, profiling (creation of user profiles), conversion measurement (measurement of the effectiveness of marketing measures), reach measurement (e.g. access statistics, recognition of returning visitors).
Legal bases and legitimate interests
For the setting of cookies, you may give us your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR, which you can revoke at any time with effect for the future. Data collection and processing is based on our overriding legitimate interest in reach measurement, web tracking and conversion measurement in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR.
Storage period
We store the anonymised data collected in this way for a maximum period of 24 months. The data is automatically deleted after this period.
Data recipient
Web host, see above.
Objection
You can deactivate Matomo at any time, i.e. object to data processing for the future. To do this, click on "Data protection settings" and adjust the "Statistics" category.
The personal data collected in the course of using the website will not be passed on to third parties or transmitted in any other way without your consent - subject to other cases expressly described in this privacy statement. Exceptions to this are transfers of personal data to state institutions and authorities, insofar as we are legally obliged to do so. The legal basis for this processing of your personal data is Art. 6 section 1 sentence 1 lit. c GDPR (fulfilment of a legal obligation).
For the operation of the website and the services offered on the website (e.g. hosting of the website), we may use external IT service providers who process your personal data on our behalf. These service providers process the data exclusively in accordance with our instructions. The legal basis for such data processing is Art. 6 section 1 sentence 1 lit. b) GDPR (contract fulfilment and pre-contractual measures) and Art. 28 GDPR (order processing).
Insofar as no other storage period results from the other provisions of this privacy statement, we only store your personal data obtained by us in connection with the use of the website for as long as this is necessary to process your requests or enquiries to us, thereafter only to the extent and insofar as we are obliged to do so due to legal storage obligations. If we no longer need your data for the purposes described above, it will only be stored for the respective statutory retention period and will not be processed for other purposes.
You have the right to request information from us at any time about the personal data we have stored about you. Insofar as the legal requirements are met, you also have the right to rectification, deletion or restriction of processing of the relevant data and the right to object to the processing of your data by us.
If you have given your consent to the use of personal data, you can revoke this at any time for the future.
If you take the view that the processing of your personal data by us violates the applicable data protection law, you can lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority for data protection.
You can contact us at the address given in clause 1. You can contact the data protection officer appointed by us at the e-mail address datenschutz(at)triologie.org or by telephone on +49-6221-39505-315.
The Triologie Group maintains up-to-date technical measures to ensure data security, in particular to protect your personal data from risks during data transmission and from third parties gaining knowledge of it. These are adapted to the respective state of the art.
From time to time, it may become necessary to amend this privacy statement, for example due to further developments of our website or due to legal changes. We therefore reserve the right to amend the privacy statement at any time with effect for the future. We therefore recommend that you read this privacy statement again at regular intervals.
