The following technical access data is collected:
The storage of the aforementioned access data takes place within the framework of so-called server log files on our web server and is necessary for the provision of a functional website and to ensure system security for technical reasons.

2. Use of cookies and associated functions/technologies

Google Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland ("Google"). Google Analytics uses so-called cookies, which are text files placed on your computer that allow an analysis of how you use the Website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this Website will generally be transmitted to a Google server in the United States and stored there. However, if IP anonymisation is enabled on this Website, Google will first truncate your IP address in Member States of the European Union or other states party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the United States and truncated there. On behalf of the operator of this Website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the Website, compile reports on Website activity and provide other services to the Website operator in connection with Website activity and use.
The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not combined with other data from Google.
You may prevent the storage of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings of your browser software, however please note that if you do this you may not be able to use the full functionality of this Website. You can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the Website (including your IP address) as well as the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on which is available under the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en-GB.
This Website uses Google Analytics with the extension "_anonymizeIp()". This means that IP addresses are further processed in a truncated form, thus excluding the possibility of identifying an individual person. If the data collected about you is related to a person, this is excluded immediately, and the personal data is deleted immediately.
We use Google Analytics to analyse the use of our Website and to improve it regularly. The statistics obtained will enable us to improve our services and make them more interesting for you as a user. For the exceptional cases in which personal data is transferred to the United States, Google has submitted to the EU-US Privacy Shield, https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework.

III. Categories of recipients
Within the Guadagnini Foundation, those persons who need personal data for the lawful performance of their duties have access to them.
In addition, we use external service providers within the scope of fulfilling our statutory purposes or commission them with corresponding services. Some of our service providers receive your personal data as processors and are then strictly bound by our instructions when handling your personal data. The following categories of recipients may receive personal data for this purpose:
No personal data will be transferred to a third country (outside the European Union / European Economic Area) or to an international organisation within the meaning of Article 4 No. 26 GDPR. When using Google Analytics (see above), we only transfer your truncated IP address to the United States. If, in exceptional cases, a data transfer should nevertheless take place, this is based on the Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2016/1250 of 12 July 2016 pursuant to Directive 95/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on the adequacy of the protection provided by the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield.

We store your personal data initially for the duration for which the respective purpose of use requires such storage (see above). This also includes the initiation (pre-contractual legal relationship) and the termination of contractual relationships. In addition, we may store your personal data until the any legal claims arising from the relationship with you become statute barred, in order to be able to use them for verification purposes, if need be. The statute of limitations usually provides for a limitation period between 12 and 36 months, but it can also be up to 30 years. We will delete your personal data as soon as the statute of limitations has expired, unless there is a statutory obligation to retain it, for example based on Section 238 and Section 257 (4) of the German Commercial Code (Handelsgesetzbuch, HGB) or Section 147 (3) and (4) of the Fiscal Code of Germany (Abgabenordnung, AO). These storage obligations can last up to ten years.
V. Data security
Personal data is protected by us by means of suitable technical and organisational measures in order to guarantee an appropriate level of protection and to protect the personal rights of the persons concerned. The measures taken serve, among other things, to prevent unauthorised access to the technical equipment used by us and to protect personal data from unauthorised access by third parties.
Our data processing and security measures are adapted to current circumstances and requirements in line with technological developments and continuously developed further. Our employees involved in data processing are obliged to maintain confidentiality when processing personal data.
