Goethe-Institut e.V., Oskar-von-Miller-Ring, 18, 80333 Munich ("Goethe Institute" or "we"), as the operator of the website www.takemetotheriver.net (the "Website"), is the controller of the personally identifiable data of the users ("You") of the Website within the meaning of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the German data protection laws, in particular the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG).
Visiting the Website
You can visit our Website without providing any personal information. Whenever you access a website, the web server merely automatically stores access data in server log files, which are automatically communicated by your browser, such as the name of the requested file, the last website visited, the date and time of the access, the browser used, the amount of data transferred, the IP address, the requesting provider, etc. Within the scope of processing on our behalf, a third party provider renders the services for hosting and displaying the Website for us. This service provider is located within a Member State of the European Economic Area: NODE Oslo AS, St. Halvards gate 33, 0192 Oslo, Norway.
All access data is stored for a period of 30 days. This data is evaluated exclusively to ensure the trouble-free operation of the website, error analysis and to improve our offerings. The use of a CDN provider, as well as the procedure described here, serves to safeguard our overriding legitimate interests in the correct presentation of our offering in accordance with Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 (f) GDPR.
Vimeo Player
On this website, we integrate videos provided by Vimeo. Vimeo is operated by Vimeo LLC, 555 West 18th Street, New York, New York 10011, USA.
To increase the protection of your data when visiting our website, the videos are integrated into the page in such a way that they can only be activated by an additional click. This integration ensures that when a page of our website containing such videos accessed, no connection is yet established with the servers of Vimeo. Only when you activate the videos does your browser establish a direct connection to the servers of Vimeo.
The content of the video is then transmitted directly to your browser by Vimeo and integrated into the page. By integrating the videos, Vimeo receives the information that your browser has called up the corresponding page of our website, even if you do not have a profile with Vimeo or are not logged in at the moment. This information (including your IP address) is transmitted by your browser directly to a server of Vimeo and stored there.
When you activate a plugin, a cookie is set in your browser. You can undo the activation by clicking the button or slider provided for this purpose. This will delete the cookie.
This serves to protect our overriding legitimate interest in a multimedia presentation of our offering and our activities in accordance with Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 (f) GDPR. Further information is available at: https://vimeo.com/privacy
