file accessed• Amount of
data transferred• Access status (file transferred, file not found, etc.)
• Identification data of the browser
and operating system used• Name of the provider of the user's
Internet access• Website from which access is made
This data is collected, processed, and used for the purpose of enabling the use of the website (connection establishment), system security, and technical administration of the network infrastructure. There is no comparison with other data sets or transfer to third parties, even in excerpts. The legal basis for processingis Art. 6 (1) lit. e GDPR in conjunction with § 3 LDSG.
Other data collection
We only collect and process your personal data if you request certain services and we need your data for this purpose, or if you have voluntarily given us your express consent to do so. The legal basis for processing is Art. 6 (1) b) GDPR or Art. 6 (1) a) GDPR.
You can do this, for example, when registering by filling out a corresponding form or sending us an email, ordering services, sending us inquiries or requesting materials, or registering. Unless otherwise required by law, we only use your personal data for the purposes for which you have given your consent.
Data transmission
Data that you enter directly on your PC in online forms (and only in these forms) is transmitted to the business in encrypted form. In order to protect personal data entered in these forms from unauthorized access by third parties, all information is transmitted encrypted via SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) with 128-bit encryption. Emails are currently forwarded to the Mainz business operation without additional encryption techniques. All information sent may therefore be viewed by third parties during transmission. The integrity of the data is not currently guaranteed. However, we are currently preparing technical and organizational measures to ensure this in the future. For security reasons, you should therefore not send any passwords, credit card numbers, or other information that you wish to keep confidential. In such cases, we recommend that you use other means of transmission.

We process and use personal data in accordance with the provisions of data protection regulations.
Insofar as personal data is collected, processed, and used in the context of specialist applications of municipal offices and companies, the respective special legal regulations apply.

If service providers come into contact with your data, this is usually done within the framework of what is known as commissioned processing of personal data. This is expressly provided for by law. In this case, Wirtschaftsbetrieb Mainz remains responsible for the protection of your data, alongside the processor where applicable. The service provider works exclusively in accordance with our instructions, which we ensure through strict contractual regulations, technical and organizational measures, and supplementary controls.
Wirtschaftsbetrieb Mainz uses service providers as processors. These are service providers in the categories of IT services (e.g., for technical and administrative tasks and for usage analysis), telecommunications, and consulting.
The data protection requirements for the processing of personal data in accordance with instructions are complied with.

Instructions for use
§ 1 Scope of this disclaimer The following terms of use apply between users and Wirtschaftsbetrieb Mainz (hereinafter referred to as "provider") for the use of the information offered by Wirtschaftsbetrieb Mainz on social media services that refer to this declaration. Use is only permitted if you, as a user, accept these terms of use. § 2 Liability information regarding content on social media sites The content of our social media sites is created with the greatest possible care. However, the provider does not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of the content provided. The use of the content is at the user's own risk. Contributions identified by name reflect the opinion of the respective author and not always the opinion of the provider. § 3 External links Our social media sites contain links to third-party websites ("external links"). These websites are subject to the liability of the respective operators. When the external links were first established, the provider checked the third-party content for any legal violations. At that time, no legal violations were apparent. The provider has no influence on the current and future design and content of the linked pages. The inclusion of external links does not mean that the provider endorses the content behind the reference or link. Constant monitoring of external links is not reasonable for the provider without concrete evidence of legal violations. However, if legal violations become known, such external links will be deleted immediately. § 4 Obligations as a user (1) As a user, you agree not to publish any posts/comments on our social media sites that violate these rules, morality, or otherwise violate applicable German law. In particular, you are prohibited from publishing offensive or untrue content; using content protected by law, in particular by copyright and trademark law, without authorization; engaging in anti-competitive activities; advertise without the express written permission of the provider. This also applies to so-called surreptitious advertising, such as linking your own social media presence or website with or without accompanying text in comments or within posts. (2) The provider has the right to delete posts and comments if they could contain a legal violation. (3) As a user, you agree to check your posts and comments before publishing them to ensure that they do not contain any information that you do not wish to publish. Your posts and topics may be indexed by search engines and thus become accessible worldwide. Any claim against the provider for the deletion or correction of such search engine entries is excluded. (4) Should third parties or other users make claims against the provider for possible legal violations that a) result from the content you as a user have posted on the Facebook fan page and/or b) arise from your use of the provider's social media presence as a user, you as a user undertake to indemnify the provider against any claims, including claims for damages, and to reimburse the provider for any costs incurred as a result of the possible legal violation. In particular, the provider shall be indemnified against the costs of the necessary legal defense. The provider is entitled to demand a reasonable advance payment from you as a user for this purpose. As a user, you are obliged to support the provider in good faith with information and documents in the legal defense against third parties. All further rights and claims for damages of the provider remain unaffected. If you as a user are not responsible for the possible infringement, the aforementioned obligations do not apply. § 5 Copyright and ancillary copyright (1) The content published on the provider's social media sites is subject to German copyright and ancillary copyright law. Any use not permitted by German copyright and ancillary copyright law requires the prior written consent of the provider or the respective rights holder. This applies in particular to the duplication, editing, translation, storage, processing, or reproduction of content in databases or other electronic media and systems. Third-party content and rights are identified as such. The unauthorized reproduction or distribution of individual content or complete pages is not permitted and is punishable by law. Only the production of copies and downloads for personal, private, and non-commercial use is permitted. (2) The presentation of the social media presence in external frames is only permitted with written permission. § 6 Other provisions (1) In all other respects, the general terms of use of the respective social media platform apply. Please also note our data protection information on the respective social media sites for further information on the processing of your data by the provider on the respective platform.
