We have taken technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal data from loss, destruction, manipulation and unauthorised access. All our employees and any third parties involved in data processing must comply with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the Federal Data Protection Act and the confidential handling of personal data. If personal data is processed via our website the information is transferred in an encrypted form to avoid misuse by third parties. Our security measures are regularly updated in accordance with technological developments.

To use the Ensinger foundation's website, providing personal data is not a statutory or contractual requirement.

b) Cookies

Depending on your browser settings, we use cookies to collect information on how you use our website. Cookies are small text files which are stored on your computer when you visit our website. Cookies help us to determine how often our website is used and by how many users. It also makes it as convenient and efficient as possible for you to use our website. We use session cookies which are temporarily stored while you use one of our websites as well as permanent cookies to store information about computers which repeatedly access our website. This enables us to provide you with optimum user guidance and to "recognise" you when you return to our website so that we can offer you maximum variety and new content. We use permanent cookies to record the number of times you visit our website, the amount of time you spend on our website, start and end of use and your interest in different pages. 

The content of a permanent cookie is limited to an identification number.

Permanent cookies are automatically deleted. Storage duration varies depending on the cookie. You may delete permanent cookies at any time under the security settings of your web browser.

If personal data is processed using cookies, processing will be carried out on the basis of Art. 6 (1f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest is advertising.

c) Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a website analysis service of Google Inc. (www.google.de). Google Analytics uses "cookies", text data which is stored on your computer and enables your use of our website to be analysed. The information created by the cookie concerning your use of the website is regularly transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, when the IP address is anonymised on this website your IP address is shortened by Google before transmission within the Member States of the European Union and other signatories of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional circumstances is the complete IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. IP anonymisation is used on this website. On behalf of Ensinger GmbH, Google will use this information to analyse your use of the website in order to compile reports on website activities and provide further services to Ensinger GmbH associated with the use of the website and internet use. The IP address transmitted by your browser within the framework of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data. Your data will be automatically deleted after 14 months at the latest.

You can disable the storage of cookies by changing the settings of your browser software accordingly (see 6 below). Please note, however, that you may then not be able to use all of the functions of the website in full.

Personal data is processed by Google Analytics on the basis of Art. 6 (1f) GDPR. This serves as the basis for our legitimate interest in advertising.
