Whenever you use this website, a variety of personal information will be collected. Personal data comprises
data that can be used to personally identify you. This Data Protection Declaration explains which data we

Information about the responsible party (referred to as the “controller” in the GDPR)
The data processing controller on this website is:
Mettmann district
The District Administrator
Düsseldorfer Strasse 26

Revocation of your consent to the processing of data
Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke consent that you have already given at any time. An informal message by e-mail to us is sufficient. The legality of the data processing that took place up until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.
Right to log a complaint with the competent supervisory agency
In the event of violations of data protection law, the person concerned has the right to lodge a complaint with the responsible supervisory authority. The competent supervisory authority for data protection issues is the state data protection officer of the federal state in which our authority is based. A list of data protection officers and their contact details can be found at the following link: https://www.bfdi.bund.de/DE/Infothek/Anschriften_Links/anschriften_links-node.html.
SSL and/or TLS encryption
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries that you send to us as the site operator, this site uses an SSL or. TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in your browser line. If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data that you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Cookies
Some of our web pages use cookies. Cookies do not harm your computer and do not contain any viruses. Cookies help make our website more user-friendly, efficient, and secure. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and saved by your browser.
Most of the cookies we use are so-called "session cookies." They are automatically deleted after your visit. Other cookies remain in your device's memory until you delete them. These cookies make it possible to recognize your browser when you next visit the site.
You can configure your browser to inform you about the use of cookies so that you can decide on a case-by-case basis whether to accept or reject a cookie. Alternatively, your browser can be configured to automatically accept cookies under certain conditions or to always reject them, or to automatically delete cookies when closing your browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.
Cookies that are required to carry out the electronic communication process or to provide certain functions you want are stored on the basis of Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the storage of cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. Insofar as other cookies (e.g. cookies for analyzing your surfing behavior) are stored, these are treated separately in this data protection declaration.
Server log files
The website provider automatically collects and stores information that your browser automatically transmits to us in "server log files". These are:
- The type and version of browser used
- The used operating system
- Referrer URL
- The hostname of the accessing computer
- The time of the server inquiry
- The IP address
This data is not merged with other data sources. The basis for data processing is Art. 6 Para. 1 GDPR.
Contact form
If you submit inquiries to us via our contact form, the information provided in the contact form as well as any contact information provided therein will be stored by us in order to handle your inquiry and in the event that we have further questions. We will not share this information without your consent.
The processing of the data entered in the contact form is therefore exclusively based on your consent (Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR). You can revoke this consent at any time. An informal message by e-mail to us is sufficient. The legality of the data processing operations that took place up until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.
The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you ask us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions - in particular retention periods - remain unaffected.
Processing of personal data
Article 6 I letter a GDPR serves the district administration as the legal basis for processing operations in which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party, as is the case, for example, with processing operations which are necessary for an authorization or the provision of another service or consideration, the processing is based on Article 6 I letter b GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures, for example in the case of inquiries about our services.
If Kreis Mettmann is subject to a legal obligation that requires the processing of personal data, such as the fulfillment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Article 6 I letter c GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data could become necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were injured in the administration and his or her name, age, health insurance data or other vital information would have to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. Then the processing would be based on Article 6 I letter d GDPR.
Ultimately, processing operations could be based on Article 6 I letter f GDPR. Processing operations that are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases are based on this legal basis if the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of the district administration or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights and fundamental freedoms of the person concerned do not prevail. Such processing operations are permitted to us in particular because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this respect, he took the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the person responsible (recital 47 sentence 2 DSGVO). If the processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our authority or a third party and if the interests, fundamental rights and fundamental freedoms of the person concerned do not outweigh the first interest, Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter f GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing.
Personal data will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies. Statutory retention periods remain unaffected.
Data transfer upon closing of contracts for services and digital content
We share personal data with third parties only if this is necessary in conjunction with the handling of the contract; for instance, with the financial institution tasked with the processing of payments.
Any further transfer of data shall not occur or shall only occur if you have expressly consented to the transfer. Any sharing of your data with third parties in the absence of your express consent, for instance for advertising purposes, shall not occur.
The basis for the processing of data is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the fulfilment of a contract or for pre-contractual actions.

Use of Facebook Custom Audiences (so-called Facebook Pixel)
Furthermore, we use the so-called “Facebook pixel” from Facebook Inc. (“Facebook”) on our website. This allows users of our website to see interest-based advertisements (“Facebook ads”) when they visit the social network Facebook or other websites that also use the process.
With the help of the Facebook pixel, we are able to check the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns. With the Facebook pixel, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection to the Facebook servers. We have no influence on the scope and further use of the data collected by Facebook through the use of this tool and are therefore informing you according to our state of knowledge:
The purpose of using a Facebook pixel is to only display the Facebook ads we have placed to users who have shown an interest in our website. In this way we want to prevent them from being a nuisance. By using the Facebook pixel, Facebook receives information that you have clicked on one of our ads on the Internet. If you are registered with a Facebook service, Facebook will assign your behavior to the account. Regardless of an account, it is possible for the provider to find out and store your IP address and other identifiers.
The data collected about you in this context will be processed by Meta Platforms Ireland Limited and may be transferred to countries outside the European Union. Facebook describes in general terms what information Facebook receives and how it is used in its data usage guidelines. There you will also find information about how to contact Facebook and how to set up advertisements.

Google Search Console
The website uses the Google Search Console (formerly Google Webmaster Tools).

Service Provider: Google Ireland Limited, incorporated and operating under the laws of Ireland, (Registration Number: 368047/VAT Number: IE6388047V), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland
Use of Google Adwords
We use the online advertising program “Google AdWords” on our website. This is an analysis service provided by Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; “Google”). If you click on an ad placed by Google, a cookie will be placed on your computer. These cookies have a limited validity, do not contain any personal data and are therefore not used for personal identification. If you visit certain pages on our website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can recognize that you clicked on the ad and were redirected to that page. Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. There is therefore no possibility that cookies can be tracked via the websites of AdWords customers. The information collected using the cookie is used to create statistics. Here we find out the total number of users who clicked on one of our ads. However, we do not receive any information that can be used to personally identify users. The Google Inc. analysis service uses conversion tracking, but we do not use this functionality. The processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR based on the legitimate interest in targeted advertising and the analysis of the effect and efficiency of this advertising.
You have the right, for reasons arising out of your particular situation, to object at any time to the processing of personal data relating to you under Art. 6 (1) f DSGVO.
To do this, you can prevent the storage of cookies by selecting the appropriate technical settings in your browser software. However, we would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of this website to their full extent. You will then not be included in the tracking statistics.
You can also deactivate personalized advertising for you in the Google advertising settings. You can find instructions on how to do this at https://support.google.com/ads/answer/2662922?hl=de In addition, you may disable third party cookies use by opting out of the Network Advertising Initiative deactivation page https://www.networkadvertising.org/choices/ and to convert the further information on the opt-out mentioned there.
