Data protection notes and data protection declaration
With these notes we - the Federal Statistical Office - also fulfil our information obligations regarding the collection of personal data, which are laid down in Article 13 of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). We collect personal data every time our website is accessed.
We have made technical and organizational arrangements ensuring that the data protection provisions are adhered to by ourselves and by our external service providers. This page is operated by the central information technology provider of the federal administration, the Federal Information Technology Centre (Informationstechnikzentrum Bund, An der Küppe 2, 53225 Bonn).
When our web pages are modified, we may have to revise this data protection declaration. We therefore recommend that you read the declaration regularly.
Personal data
Personal data is information about yourself, such as your name, address, postal address or user behaviour, if the latter is not anonymized. This does not include information which cannot be related to you.
We collect your data, on the one hand, when you give them to us. For example, you may have entered such data in a contact form.
Other data are collected automatically by our IT systems whenever you visit the website. Most of these are technical data such as your IP address (which is however anonymized immediately), internet browser, operating system or the time when the page is accessed. These data are collected automatically when you enter our website. This helps us to provide our data on the internet, which is one of the public tasks we have to carry out.
Access to our website
In connection with your use of our internet offer, logs of your accesses are stored on our servers, which may allow the identification of your person.
These are data about
- the IP-address of your computer or the proxy server, if you call our pages via proxy
- the page from which the file was called
- the name of the file called,
- the date, time and duration of the call,
- the amount of data transferred,
- the type of browser you are using and
- the status of the call (for example file transferred, file not found).
These stored data are evaluated exclusively for statistical purposes and are not passed on to third parties under any circumstances. There is no use related to the user in person.
