We collect and process your data only when you have given us your consent to process your data or if processing is legally permissible.

Collection of technically necessary data and logfiles

If you visit our website purely for informational reasons, do not register or transmit data in any other way (e.g. via a contact form), we collect the data that your browser transmits to us. In detail, this is the following data:

• IP-adress
• Date and time of the enquiry
• Time zone difference to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT)
• Content of the request (specific page)
• Access status/http status code
• Respective transmitted data volume
• Website from which you are visiting us (referrer URL)
• Website that you visit
• Browser type and version used 
• Operating system and its interface
• Language and version of browser software

The collection and processing of this data occurs in order to display our website, to guarantee stability, to improve our website and for security reasons. The lawful basis for this processing is Article 6 (1 f) of the GDPR. The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer needed for the above-mentioned purposes. In the case that an IP address is saved, deletion or anonymization occurs after 7 days at the latest. Collection of this data as well as storage of the data in logfiles is absolutely necessary to operate the website. An opportunity for the user to object does not therefore exist.

Use of cookies

Furthermore, cookies are used when using our website. Cookies are small text files that we store on your computer and through which certain information flows to the respective place setting the cookie. Cookies are always assigned to the browser. It is not possible to run programs or transmit viruses to your PC by using cookies.

You can configure your browser settings as you wish and, for example, reject third-party or all cookies. However, this can mean that you cannot use all our website functions. It is also possible for you to delete all cookies by using the settings of your browser at any time.

Our website uses the following types of cookies: 

Use of technically necessary cookies

We use technically necessary cookies in order to perform the following functions of our internet offer:

• IP-adress
• Website that you visit

The lawful basis for this data processing is Article 6 (1 f) of the GDPR. The use of these cookies serves to facilitate your use of our website. Some functions on our website do not work without the use of cookies and it would therefore not be possible to offer them. Our legitimate interest in the processing of cookies results from the above-mentioned purposes. You can delete cookies using your browser settings.

Web analysis by Matomo (formerly PIWIK)

On our website we use the open-source software Matomo (formerly PIWIK) to analyse the surfing behaviour of our users. The software places a cookie on your computer (please see above for cookies). If single pages of our website are viewed, the following data is tracked:

• Two bytes of the IP address of the user´s system
• Website that you visit
• Website from which you visit us (referrer)
• Subpages that are viewed on the visited website 
• Duration of website visit
• Frequency of website visits

The software runs exclusively on the servers of our website. The information about your use of this internet offer generated by the cookie is also stored on our own servers located at our company in Germany. Storage of personal data that has possibly been collected occurs only at this place. Data is not transferred to third parties.

The software is set in such a way that complete IP addresses are not stored, but that 2 bytes of the IP address are masked (e.g.: 192.168.xxx.xxx). In this way, assignment of the shortened IP address to the user computer is no longer possible.

The lawful basis for this processing is Article 6 (1 f) of the GDPR. Using the open-source software tool Matomo enables us to analyse your surfing behaviour. By evaluating the data, we are able to compile information about the use of individual components of our website. This helps us to continually improve our website and its user-friendliness. Our legitimate interest in processing the data also lies in these purposes. By anonymising the IP address, your interest in protecting your personal data is also sufficiently taken into account.

The cookies are deleted as soon as they are no longer needed for our recording purposes. This is the case after three months at the latest.

Further information on the privacy settings in Matomo software are available at the following link: https://matomo.org/docs/privacy/

Use of the registration function for the Grid User Data Portal of terranets bw GmbH

To use our Grid User Data Portal requires registration. Use of the Grid User Data Portal is voluntary. To create access, necessary personal data is queried in the registration form, namely:

• Salutation, title, family name, first name
• Department
• Business address
• Business contact details (telephone, fax, email)

The following data is stored in the Grid User Portal when creating the account:

• Benutzername, Kennwort (Hashwert)
• User name, password (hash value)
• Email address
• Salutation
• Fist name, family name
• Link to the organisation

The lawful basis for the data processing is Article 6 (1 a) of the GDPR. Specification of the data in the registration form is necessary to set up a login to the Grid User Data Portal for you. The other processed personal data serves to prevent a misuse of the Grid User Data Portal and to ensure the security of our IT systems. Within the framework of registration, you have consented to the data processing.

You may revoke your consent at any time by email to netzzugang[at]terranets-bw.de. Revocation has the consequence that your account will be deleted. The lawfulness of the data processing up to the point of revocation remains unaffected. The data queried within the framework of the registration process will be stored for the purpose of administrating your portal access until you revoke your consent. The personal data collected additionally will be deleted after seven days at the latest.

Use of a contact form

If you contact us via a form on www.terranets-bw.de, this takes place in principle with a 128-bit encryption.

The data entered in the input mask is transmitted to us and stored, namely:

• Salutation, first name, family name
• If necessary, company where you are employed
• Email address
• If necessary, telephone and fax number

At the point in time you send the message, the following data will also be stored:

• User IP address
• Date and time of the contact

Alternatively, it is possible to contact us via the email address provided, but you should note that you must then take your own security measures to guarantee the confidentiality of your message. In this case your personal data transmitted by email will be stored.

The lawful basis for the data processing is, depending on the content of your enquiry, Article 6 (1 b, f or a) of the GDPR. The processing of personal data from the input mask serves solely to process the contact. The necessary legitimate interest in processing the data also lies in this purpose. Other personal data processed during the sending process serves to prevent misuse of the contact form and to ensure the security of our IT systems.

The data you send us with your enquiry will be deleted after achieving the respective purpose. As a rule, the purpose is fulfilled as soon as the respective conversation is ended. This will be regularly the case when it can be inferred from the circumstances that the facts in questions have been conclusively clarified. Insofar as the transmitted enquiry refers to a contract concluded with us, your enquiry will be deleted as stated in the data protection information of the respective contract.

Newsletter

You have the opportunity to subscribe to newsletter on our website. Should you do this, we will inform you in regular intervals about the topics stipulated in the newsletter registration. In order to subscribe to a newsletter, you must provide us with a valid email address and register for the newsletter. Subsequently, we test your email address to be sure that you are actually the owner of this email address or whether you have access to the email account given (double opt-in procedure). We use your email address solely for sending the newsletter. For verification purposes, we also log your IP address, the date and the time of your registration within the framework of the registration process in order to prevent misuse and to ensure the security of our IT systems.

For the newsletter registration we use the software tool Clever Reach on our website. Clever Reach processes your data solely to fulfil the above-mentioned purposes and solely under the control of terranets bw based on the agreement governing order processing and exclusively for the purposes set out in this data protection declaration.

The data collected during the order process for a newsletter is not combined with other data collected via our website. The lawful basis for the data processing is the consent you granted to receive the newsletter (Article 6 (1 a) of the GDPR). If you no longer wish to receive a newsletter, you can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time. You can revoke receipt of the newsletter by email at any time:

• newsletter "Aktuelle Informationen": revoke receipt by email to presset[at]erranets-bw.de
• newsletter "Neues von der NET": revoke receipt by email to leitungsprojekt[at]terranets-bw.de
• newsletter "SEL": revoke receipt by email to sel[at]terranets-bw.de
• newsletter "VDS NOS": revoke receipt by email to vds.nos[at]terranets-bw.de
• newsletter "SPO": revoke receipt by email to spo[at]terranets-bw.de

With this email you revoke your consent to receive the particular newsletter. The lawfulness of the data processing up to the time of revocation remains unaffected.

The data collected in connection with a newsletter will be deleted 3 years after the end of the year in which you revoked your consent. Additional personal data collected during the registration process will be deleted after seven days at the latest.

Processing your data due to legal requirements

Insofar as we are subject to legal requirements that make it necessary to further process your data, we will also process your data for the respective purposes required by law. The lawful basis for this data processing is Article 6 (1 c) of the GDPR in connection with the standard that contains the respective legal obligation.

Further processing of your data based on your consent

In addition to the purposes explicitly set out here, your data is further processed if and insofar as you have granted your consent to said data processing in accordance with Article 6 (1 a) of the GDPR. The purposes for processing the data result from the respective consent granted.

Can I revoke consent that I have given?

Insofar as we process your data based on consent given by you, you have the right to withdraw ("revoke”) your consent at any time. Your data will then no longer be processed for the purposes contained in the consent. Please note that the lawfulness of data processing occurring before revocation, remains unaffected by the revocation. Please refer to previous information or information in the respective consent regarding how you can declare your revocation in detail.   

Do I have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority?

Insofar as you are of the opinion that the processing of your personal data infringes the applicable law, you may lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority according to Article 77 of the GDPR at any time. This does not affect other rights to administrative or judicial remedies.

Must I provide the data or is provision of data necessary for contract conclusion?

Data protection information for the use of Youtube videos on the terranets bw website

For the integration of videos, the terranets bw website uses the provider YouTube LLC , 901 Cherry Avenue, San Bruno, CA 94066, USA, represented by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Normally, when you access a page with embedded videos, your IP address is already sent to YouTube and cookies are installed on your computer. terranets bw has, however, embedded the YouTube videos on the website with an extended data protection mode (in this case YouTube still makes contact with Google´s DoubleClick service, but according to Google´s data protection declaration, personal data is not evaluated in the process). This means that YouTube no longer stores information on visitors unless they watch the video. If you click on the video, your IP address is transmitted to YouTube and YouTube is informed that you have watched the video. If you are logged in to YouTube, this information is also allocated to your user account.
We have no knowledge nor influence on the possible collection and use of your data by YouTube. Further information is available in YouTube´s data protection declaration at www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/. In addition, our general depiction refers to the general handling and deactivation of cookies within this data protection declaration.

terranets bw GmbH
Am Wallgraben 135
70565 Stuttgart

Telephone: 0711/7812-1312
Email: datenschutz@terranets-bw.de

2. Which data of yours is processed and for what purpose? What is the source of this data?

We process the personal data that you supply to us when you conclude a contract (e. g. conclusion of a shipping or service contract) or when a contractual relationship is initiated. We also process the data we receive from you for the purpose of making or maintaining contact (e. g. when exchanging business cards) or for transmitting information on companies and products.

This is on a regular basis the following data: salutation, where applicable title, surname and first name, (business) address, (business) contact data (email, telephone number, mobile telephone number, fax), if required business organisational data (name of company or authority, department, administrative office).

We need this data

• to initiate a contractual relationship with you or the company etc. you are employed by,
• to fulfil a contract (if applicable, subsequent hereto) concluded with you or the company you are employed by,
• to clarify an issue, e. g. exchange with authorities to obtain an approval under public law,
• for the purpose of exchanging information and interests,
• for the purpose of public relations and marketing (e. g. information about our company, products, projects and events) and/or
• for the purpose of maintaining contact (e. g. sending greeting cards).

Insofar as we have not collected your personal data directly from you, your data was passed to us either by third parties (e. g. colleagues) or we have collected your data from other sources, e. g. the website of the company or authority you are employed by.

3. What is the legal basis for the processing?

Insofar as a contractual relationship exists or is in the process of being concluded with the company or authority that you are employed by, the legal basis for processing your personal data is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) of the GDPR. We have a legitimate interest in processing your data because otherwise we would not be able to assert or fulfil our (pre)contractual rights and obligations.

Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) of the GDPR is also the legal basis for processing data insofar as we are clarifying an issue with you or the company etc. you are employed by. We have a legitimate interest in this case because otherwise it is not possible to operate our transmission system and our other facilities in compliance with the law or to enforce or fulfil our rights or other obligations.

The legal basis for processing your data for the purpose of exchanging information and interests, for the purpose of public relations and marketing as well as for the purpose of maintaining contact is either Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a) of the GDPR, insofar as you have granted us your consent for these purposes, or Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) of the GDPR. Our legitimate interest then lies in our interest in maintaining contact and fostering customer relationships with our (business) partners.

4. How long will your data be stored?

Your personal data will be stored by us for different periods of time depending on the purpose of the data processing. Insofar as your data is required for fulfilling a contract, your data will be stored until termination of the contract and beyond this for three years after the end of the year in which warranty or limitation periods expire. In the event that your data is processed by us in connection with establishing a contract that is then however not concluded, your data is stored for three years after the end of the year in which the contract negotiations were finally terminated.

Insofar as your data is processed to clarify an open issue, your data is stored for three years after the end of the year in which the issue was finally clarified. If your data is stored in connection with a measure related to our facilities, your personal data is stored until final decommissioning and, if necessary, dismantling of our facilities. This is the only way to guarantee the technical safety and safe and secure operation of our facilities, which is in the public interest.

If your data is stored for the purpose of exchanging information and interests, for the purpose of public relations and marketing or for the purpose of maintaining contact, the data is stored for three years after the end of the year in which we learn that you are no longer interested in exchanging information and interests or in making contact or in maintaining contact as part of our public relations and marketing measures, e. g. due to a change in employment or a revocation.

In the event that additional statutory retention periods exist, e. g. under commercial or tax law, we will store your personal data for the duration of this retention obligation. On expiry of these retention periods, we will check whether there is a further necessity for processing.

When these periods expire, the personal data will be deleted or destroyed respectively.

5. In the case that we collect your data directly from you, we inform you about the following: Are you obliged to provide your data or is the provision necessary to conclude a contract? 

It is neither legally nor contractually obligatory to provide your personal data. There is no obligation to provide your personal data. Insofar as we collect your data in order to conclude a contract with you or the company you are employed by, we require your data to process the contract.

6. Passing on data

Depending on the purpose of collecting the data (see number 2), it might happen that we pass on your personal data to various external bodies, as required.

Insofar as we have collected your data to initiate a contractual relationship or to be able to fulfil a contract with you or the company you are employed by,  it can happen that we pass on your data to engineering companies, construction companies, authorities and other partners whose services we use to fulfil the contract,  in order to serve these purposes.

If we have collected your data to clarify an open issue, it is possible that we pass on your data to engineering companies, construction companies, authorities and other partners whose services we use to clarify the issue, in order to serve this purpose.

If your data was collected for the purpose of exchanging information and interests, for the purpose of public relations and marketing or for the purpose of maintaining contact, we pass on your data as necessary to the third parties we deploy for the purpose of exchanging information and interests, for the purpose of public relations and marketing or for the purpose of maintaining contact, e. g. marketing service providers, printing companies.

Within our company, only those persons have access to your data who need your data within the scope of the tasks assigned to them.

Insofar as we pass on your data to external parties, we conclude contractual provisions as a matter of principle with these parties to protect your personal data.

7. Rights of the data subject

With regard to the processing of your personal data, you have the following rights as a data subject. Under the prerequisites of

Data protection information for conducting video conferences and telephone conferences using Webex 

The protection of your data is very important to us. We are therefore pleased to inform you below about how we process your data in connection with video and/or telephone conferences ("online meetings"). For this purpose we use Cisco Webex meetings ("Webex") from Cisco Webex.

1. Who is responsible for data processing?

The responsible organisation in the sense of data protection legislation is:

terranets bw GmbH
Am Wallgraben 135
70565 Stuttgart

Telephone: 0711/7812-0
Telefax: 0711/7812-1296
Email: info@terranets-bw.de

You can reach our corporate Data Protection Officer, Mr. Alexander Menges using the contact data below:
Telephone: 0711/7812-1312
Email: datenschutz@terranets-bw.de

2. Which data of yours is processed and for what purpose?

For conducting online meetings using Webex, the following personal data of yours is processed: 

Information about the user: salutation, if applicable title, first name, surname, telephone number (optional), email address, password, postal address (optional), avatar (optional)

Meeting metadata: topic, description (optional), participant IP addresses, user agent identification, device/hardware information

When dialling in by telephone: information on incoming and outgoing call number, country name, start and end time. If required, other connection data such as the IP address of the device can be stored.

We need the data in order to be able to conduct online meetings via Webex. 

The scope of the other personal data we process depends on what other data you provided when conducting the online meeting. Personal data can also be seen by the participants: participant list, chat, desktop sharing and camera. The audio and video function can be switched on and off manually in the default setting and during the meeting.

3. What is the legal basis for the processing? 

The legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest consists in the effective holding of online meetings.

4. How long will your data be stored? 

We generally delete personal data when there is no need for further storage. A need can exist in particular when the data is still required in order to fulfil contractual services, to be able to check, grant or defend against warranty and, if necessary, guarantee claims. In the event of statutory retention obligations, deletion can only be considered after expiry of the respective retention obligation.

In detail, the deletion periods below are applicable in principle:
Information about the user is deleted 7 years after termination of the service (contractual relationship). Meeting data is deleted 3 years after collection. 
The data generated by the user is deleted 60 days after termination of the service. If the user deletes the data, it is not stored on the Webex platform.
Files of the shared content are automatically deleted after each meeting. 
Planned meetings, training sessions and other events are deleted from the user´s meeting list 90 days after the meeting ends.

5. Are you obliged to provide your data or is the provision necessary to conclude a contract?

It is neither legally nor contractually obligatory to provide your personal data. There is no obligation to provide your personal data. Should you not provide us with your personal data, this means in particular that we cannot conduct an online meeting with you. 

6. Passing on data and data processing outside the European Union

Personal data that is processed in connection with participating in an online meeting is, in principle, not passed on to third parties insofar as it is not specifically intended for passing on. Within our company and as a matter of principle, only those persons have access to your data who require it in order to properly process our application procedure.

Nevertheless, personal data is only processed in a third country with regard to contractual data. The other personal data, in particular that of the meeting participants, is processed exclusively on servers within the EU.

Another recipient of your data is, by necessity, the provider of Webex located in the USA. Your personal data is therefore also processed in a third country. We have concluded an agreement with the provider for the purpose of processing the order, which ensures that the data processing is conducted in a permissible manner.

Moreover, so-called EU standard contractual clauses (SCC) were concluded. Cisco also has certified Binding Corporate Rules (BCR) from some European data protection authorities.

7. The rights of the data subject

With regard to the processing of your personal data, you have the following rights as a data subject. Under the prerequisites of

• Art. 15 GDPR you have the right to obtain information on the personal data processed about your person. Please note the restrictions of Section 34 of the BDSG (Federal Data Protection Act). 
• Art. 16 GDPR you have the right to rectification of inaccurate data 
• Art. 17 GDPR you have the right to erasure of personal data. Please note the restrictions of Section 35 of the BDSG (Federal Data Protection Act).
• Art. 18 GDPR you have the right to restriction of processing
• Art. 20 GDPR you have the right to data portability

Insofar as the legal basis for processing your data is consent, you can withdraw your consent in accordance with Art. 7 para. 3 GDPR at any time.

Right to object according to Art. 21 GDPR

Insofar as we process your data on the basis of legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f) GDPR) and if grounds against this processing arise relating to your particular situation, you have the right pursuant to Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR to object to this processing. In the event of an objection, we shall no longer process your data for these purposes, unless we are able to give evidence of compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that prevail over your interests, rights and liberties or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.
You have the right to object – without restriction - to any kind of processing for direct marketing purposes according to Art. 21 para. 2 GDPR.

Insofar as no contractual relationship for using your property or the property used by you exists, the legal basis for processing data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR.

However, it is necessary to provide your personal data in order to be able to establish or execute a contractual relationship between us for the use of your property or that property used by you.

6. Passing on data 

We pass on your personal data when required to the following external places: engineering offices, building companies, authorities, law courts. Insofar as this is the case, we conclude contractual provisions with the external places as a matter of principle to protect your personal data.

In the event of an objection, we shall no longer process your data for these purposes, unless we are able to give evidence of compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that prevail over your interests, rights and liberties or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.
You have the right to object – without restriction - to any kind of processing for direct marketing purposes according to Art. 21 para. 2 GDPR.

Right of withdrawal according to Art. 7 para. 3 GDPR

2. Which data of yours is processed and for what purpose? What is the source of this data?

We process, when required, the following personal data: surname and first name, academic title, name of birth, address and contact details, date of birth, information on the property (e. g. plot number, land registry entries), the relationship you have to the property (e. g. owner, lessee) and the type of use. We also process your personal data that we have assigned to you, in particular information on the compensation payments made by us. 

We need this data in order to carry out the planning permission procedure for the Neckarenztal pipeline and to subsequently construct the Neckarenztal pipeline. In the operation phase, we need your data for the administration of the rights of way for the Neckarenztal pipeline. We thus need, for example, your contact details in order to be able to contact you regarding access to or works on plots. 

We have obtained your personal data from the official real estate cadastral information system (ALKIS), the land registry or by queries to other authorities (e. g. residents´ registration office, municipalities) or property owners. These are not publicly accessible sources. In some cases, we have also received your data from you.

3. What is the legal basis for the processing?

Insofar as there is not yet a contractual relationship with you to use your property or the property used by you, the legal basis for processing data is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f) GDPR. We have a legitimate right to processing the data because we are otherwise not able to fulfil our tasks to construct and operate a transmission system and telecommunications network, which is in the public interest. 

Insofar as we have concluded a contract for using your property or the property used by you, the legal basis for processing the data is Art. 6 para. 1 p.1 lit. b) GDPR. Accordingly, processing your data is permissible when it is required for the performance of a contract. Such a contractual relationship between us contains, among other things, provisions for using your property or the property used by you as well as provisions pertaining to compensation payments to be made by us. A contract normally exists in the form of a right of use in rem (limited personal easement) or a license agreement.

Insofar as we also process your data when the Neckarenztal pipeline does not lie (no longer lies) in your property or the property used by you, the legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f) GDPR. We have a legitimate interest in processing the data because we are otherwise not able to fulfil the tasks of constructing and operating our transmission system and telecommunications network, which are in the public interest.

4. How long will your data be stored?

Your data will be stored by us as long as necessary for achieving the respective purpose. As a matter of principle, we store your personal data as long as properties that are in your ownership or are used by you are affected by the Neckarenztal pipeline, or until we permanently decommission and, if required, dismantle the Neckarenztal pipeline. Insofar as the properties in your ownership or the properties used by you are not affected by the Neckarenztal pipeline, we will delete your data six months after the legally binding planning approval decision. Beyond this, we store your personal data if we have a legitimate interest. 

Notwithstanding the above, digitally generated compensation receipts will be stored eleven years after issuance because of statutory retention periods.

After expiry of these periods, the personal data will be deleted or destroyed. 

5. Are you obliged to provide your data or is provision necessary for concluding a contract?

Insofar as we have collected your data from you, the following shall apply: it is neither legally nor contractually obligatory to provide your personal data. There is no obligation to provide your personal data. It is necessary, however, to provide your personal data in order to be able to establish and perform a contractual relationship between us for using your property or the property used by you. If you do not provide us with your personal data, this has the consequence in particular that we are not able to or are able only in a limited way to fulfil our statutory obligations to safeguard your rights of ownership or use (e. g. information on land claims, payment of compensation).

6. Passing on data 

We pass on your personal data, when required, to the following external places: service providers (e. g. engineering offices), construction companies, authorities, law courts. Insofar as this is the case, we conclude as a matter of principle contractual regulations with the external places to protect your personal data.
Within our company, only those persons have access to your data who require this for properly obtaining and managing the rights of way.

7. The rights of the data subject

With regard to the processing of your personal data, you have the following rights as a data subject. Under the prerequisites of

• Art. 15 GDPR you have the right to obtain information on the personal data processed about your person. Please note the restrictions of Section 34 of the BDSG (Federal Data Protection Act). 
• Art. 16 GDPR you have the right to rectification of inaccurate data 
• Art. 17 GDPR you have the right to erasure of personal data. Please note the restrictions of Section 35 of the BDSG (Federal Data Protection Act).
• Art. 18 GDPR you have the right to restriction of processing
• Art. 20 GDPR you have the right to data portability

Right to object according to Art. 21 GDPR

Insofar as we process your data on the basis of legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f) GDPR) and if grounds against this processing arise relating to your particular situation, you have the right pursuant to Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR to object to this processing. In the event of an objection, we shall no longer process your data for these purposes, unless we are able to give evidence of compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that prevail over your interests, rights and liberties or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.
You have the right to object – without restriction - to any kind of processing for direct marketing purposes according to Art. 21 para. 2 GDPR.

Insofar as you are of the opinion that the processing of your personal data violates applicable law, you may lodge a complaint at the data protection authority according to Art. 77 GDPR at any time.

Data protection information for property owners and property users for the Neckarenztal pipeline - PDF

As of: February 2023 

Data protection information for the LinkedIn fan page of "terranets bw GmbH" or "Hydrogen for Baden-Württemberg" of terranets bw GmbH

For the information service we offer, terranets bw GmbH uses the technical platform and services of LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Place, Grand Canal Dock, Dublin 2, Ireland (referred to as "LinkedIn" for short). All information regarding the data protection provisions of LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company is available at https://privacy.linkedin.com/de-de.

We wish to point out that you use these LinkedIn fan pages and their functions on your own responsibility. This shall apply especially for using the interactive functions (e.g. comment, share, rate). Alternatively, it is also possible to access the information offered on this page via our websites at www.terranets-bw.de or www.h2-fuer-bw.de.

1. Data collection and processing

When visiting our LinkedIn fan page, LinkedIn automatically collects information about you, including your IP address as well as additional information. This process of collecting data is independent of whether you have a LinkedIn account or not. In the same way, it does not depend on whether you are logged into your account or not. LinkedIn´s privacy policy describes in detail what information is collected and processed by LinkedIn at https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy.

2. Legal basis and purpose

The legal basis for processing along with the purposes your data is used for are itemised at  https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy(Sections 2 and 5.3). You can control the use of your data via your account settings. Further information on this is available at https://privacy.linkedin.com/de-de/settings.

3. Passing on of data

Depending on your account settings, the data collected about you is processed by LinkedIn and may be transferred to third parties, also including countries outside the European Union. Further information on the passing on of your data to third parties is available at  https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy (Section 3).

4. Tracking und analysis

When you access a LinkedIn page, the IP address assigned to your end device is transmitted to LinkedIn. According to information from LinkedIn, this IP address is anonymised (in the case of  "German" IP addresses) and deleted after 90 days. LinkedIn also saves information on users´ end devices (e.g. as part of the "login notification" function"); it may therefore be possible for LinkedIn to assign IP addresses to individual users.

If you are currently logged in to LinkedIn as a user, a cookie with your LinkedIn ID is installed on your end device. LinkedIn is thus able to track that you have visited this page and how you have used it. This also applies to all other LinkedIn pages. Further information on this is available at  https://de.linkedin.com/legal/cookie-policy.

Via LinkedIn buttons embedded in websites, it is possible for LinkedIn to track your visits to these websites and assign them to your LinkedIn profile. Based on this data, it is possible to offer content or advertising that is tailored to you.

If you wish to prevent this, you should log out of LinkedIn or deactivate the "stay logged in” function, delete the cookies installed on your device, close your browser and restart. This will delete the LinkedIn information that can directly identify you, allowing you to use our LinkedIn page without revealing your LinkedIn identifier. When you access the page´s interactive functions (like, comment, share, news etc.), a LinkedIn login screen opens. After any login, you are once again recognisable to LinkedIn as a clearly identifiable, specific user.

5. Your rights

We hereby inform you that, in accordance with Article 15 et seq. GDPR, you have the right to obtain information on the relevant personal data from terranets bw GmbH under the conditions defined therein. You also have the right to rectification or deletion as well as to restriction of processing. Moreover, you have the right to object to the processing as well as the right to data portability. Pursuant to Article 77 GDPR, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority should you have the opinion that the processing of personal data relating to you infringes this regulation. In the case that the processing is based on Article 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR or Article 9 para. 2 lit. a GDPR (consent), you also have the right to revoke consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until revocation.
