Data Privacy Statement
Thank you for your interest in the SCIoI website. The protection of the personal data of visitors to the SCIoI website is very important to us. We therefore would like to inform you about data privacy for our website.

Subject of data privacy
Data privacy addresses issues concerning personal data. According to Article 4 no. 1 of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), these are data referring to an identified or identifiable individual, in other words all data which could be used to identify you. This applies to data such as your name, private address, e-mail address, and telephone number but also to usage data such as your IP address.
As a matter of course SCIoI observes the legal requirements of data privacy and other applicable regulations.
We are committed to ensuring that you can trust us concerning your personal data. For this reason, transfers of personal or sensitive data are encrypted. In addition, our websites are protected by technical measures against damage or unauthorized access.

General Data Privacy
When you visit the SCIoI website or download data from its web pages, the following information is saved in a log file:

• IP address of your device,
• the date and time you accessed the site,
• the web page you visited or name of the downloaded file,
• the amount of transferred data,
• the “user agent-string” of your web browser,
• the website from which you were referred to the current web page or file and
• a status notification of successful or unsuccessful access.

Non-depersonalized data will be deleted after two weeks and will not be stored. This data will only be used for non-commercial purposes: It will only be reviewed manually, if necessary, for error analysis, optimization or investigation of misuse or performance issues.
This represents a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) lit. f EU-DSGVO. A right of objection according to Art. 21 EU-DSGVO is not possible due to lack of technical feasibility.
In order to protect your transmitted data as best as possible, we use SSL encryption for any data transmission. You can recognize such encrypted connections by the prefix “https://” in the page link in the address line or by the green/closed lock symbol of your browser. Unencrypted pages are marked by “http://” or an open or red lock symbol.
All data that you transmit to this website – for example when making inquiries or logging in – cannot be read by third parties thanks to SSL encryption.
Cookies are often additionally used for data collection and storage. Cookies are small data packets consisting of text that are stored by your web browser when you call up a website.
Cookies are used by us to enable you to make optimal use of the websites. They are never used to track personal user actions or for behavioral analysis. They are only used where they are technically necessary or more useful than other techniques (in the sense of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f EU-DSGVO): to record your login status, your consent to the display of external content (opt-in) and your deactivation of cookie-less Matomo tracking (opt-out). As a result, the use of the websites is mainly possible without the use of cookies. However, for functions or pages that require a login or password, cookies are technically necessary.

We use temporary and permanent cookies. Temporary cookies (also known as session cookies) are automatically deleted when you close your web browser. Permanent cookies, on the other hand, have a set lifetime. You can set your web browser to delete cookies that have already been placed.

Matomo Opt-Out:

Opt-out complete; your visits to this website will not be recorded by the Web Analytics tool. Note that if you clear your cookies, delete the opt-out cookie, or if you change computers or Web browsers, you will need to perform the opt-out procedure again.

You may choose to prevent this website from aggregating and analyzing the actions you take here. Doing so will protect your privacy, but will also prevent the owner from learning from your actions and creating a better experience for you and other users.

The tracking opt-out feature requires cookies to be enabled.

Data Collection and Storage
For information about how we handle personal traffic data, please refer to the “General data policy” section and the section on “Usage data”.

This applies in particular to answering individual e-mail inquiries or ordering special services.
If you commission us to provide a service, we will generally only collect and store your personal data to the extent necessary for the provision of the service.
At SCIoI, mailing lists are used as an instrument for the targeted distribution of information.
