Information on data protection at the State Mints of Baden-Wuerttemberg

We are delighted at your interest in our company. Data protection is particularly important to the management of the State Mints of Baden-Wuerttemberg.

The processing of personal data such as the name, address, e-mail address, or telephone number of a data subject is always conducted in line with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the Federal Data Protection Act [Bundesdatenschutzgesetz] and in accordance with the data protection regulations specific to Baden-Wuerttemberg and therefore applicable to the State Mints.

The aim of this information on data protection (hereinafter Privacy Policy) is for our company to inform the general public of the nature, scope, and purpose of personal data processing in the context of their using our website. Furthermore, we wish to inform you of your rights as a data subject.

As a controller, we have taken numerous technical and organisational measures to safeguard the personal data processed through our website to the highest degree possible. However, data transmission via the Internet can by its very nature have security gaps, meaning that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For that reason, every data subject is free to share personal data with us via alternative means, such as by telephone.

f) Pseudonymisation

4. Cookies

Our website uses cookies. Cookies are text files which are stored on your computer when you visit our website. We use cookies to make our services more user-friendly for website users in a manner that would not be possible without setting cookies.

On the one hand, we use what are known as ‘session cookies’, which are stored temporarily for the duration of your visit to our website. However, we also use ‘permanent cookies’ to retain information about computers that have accessed our website on more than one occasion. They allow us to offer enhanced user navigation and to recognise you in future, as well as to present you with a more diverse website containing new content on subsequent visits. A permanent cookie contains an identification number only. Your name, IP address or other information relating to your identity are not saved, and we do not create individual profiles based on your user behaviour. Permanent cookies are erased automatically. The duration for which the information is retained depends on the cookie. You can delete permanent cookies at any time by adjusting the security settings in your browser.

Cookies help us to improve the information and services on our website for the user. Some parts of our website require that the browser be identifiable even after the user has accessed another page.

These cookies are required for technical reasons to make the use of our website easier for users. Users do not need to enter their log-in data each time they visit the website, for example, since the website and the cookie stored on the user’s computer system enters the information for the user. Another example is the basket cookie used for our online shop. The cookie allows the online shop to note the item that the customer has placed in their virtual shopping basket.

Additionally, we use what are known as ‘analysis cookies’ to enable us to analyse users’ surfing behaviour on our website. The personal data collected by those cookies are subject to a technical pseudonymisation procedure. The procedure prevents the data from being associated with the user accessing the site.

The analysis cookies tell us how our website is being used, giving us information that we use to improve our services continuously.
