We consider it our primary responsibility to protect the confidentiality of the personal data you provide and to protect it from unauthorized access. That is why we take the utmost care and use the most state-of-the-art security standards to ensure maximum protection of your personal data.

As a private company, we are subject to the provisions of the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the regulations of the French Data Protection Act (Règlement Général sur la Protection des Données or RGPD).

Definitions of Terms

The legislator requires personal data to be processed in a lawful manner, in good faith and in a manner that is comprehensible to the person concerned ("lawfulness, processing in good faith, transparency"). In order to ensure this, we inform you about the individual legal definitions which are also used in this privacy policy:

• Personal Data

  “Personal data” means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter referred to as “data subject”); an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified directly or indirectly, in particular by assignment to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or one or more special characteristics, that are expression of the physical, physiological, genetic, psychological, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.

• Processing

  "Processing" means any operation carried out, with or without the aid of automated procedures, or any such series of operations relating to personal data, such as collection, recording, organization, structuring, storage, the adaptation or modification, reading, querying, use, disclosure by transmission, distribution or any other form of provision, matching or linking, restriction, deletion or destruction.

• Restriction of Processing

  “Restriction of processing” means the marking of stored personal data with the aim of restricting their processing in the future.

• Profiling

  “Profiling” means any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyze or predict aspects relating to the performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, location or movements of that natural person.

• Pseudonymization

  "Pseudonymization" means the processing of personal data in such a way that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that this additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organizational measures which ensure that the personal data cannot be attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.

• File System

  "File system" means any structured collection of personal data which are accessible according to specific criteria, whether centralized, decentralized, on a functional or on a geographical basis.

• Controller

  "Controller" means a natural or legal person, authority, institution, agency or other body which, alone or jointly with others decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data; where the purposes and means of such processing are specified by European Union or Member State law, the controller, or the specific criteria for his appointment may be provided for by European Union or Member State law.

However, authorities which may receive personal data in the framework of a particular investigation in accordance with European Union or Member State law shall not be considered recipients; the processing of such data by those public authorities shall be carried out in accordance with the applicable data protection rules in accordance with the purposes of the processing.

• Third Party

  "Third party" means a natural or legal person, authority, institution or other body other than the data subject, the controller, the data processor, and the persons authorized to process the personal data under the direct responsibility of the controller or the data processor.

Log Data for statistical Evaluation of the Use of the Website

We use the an in-house software for statistical analysis. It stores the IP addresses in an anonymised form. The anonymisation is carried out by shortening the IP address by the last octets in accordance with the resolutions of the Data Protection Conference of the Federal and State Data Protection Supervisory Authorities (DSK). This means that no conclusions can be drawn about an internet visitor.

It also collects certain technical information based on the data transmitted by your browser: Browser type and version, operating system used, device type, model and brand, screen resolution, the search engine used by your device, web pages visited on www.statinf.fr including dwell time, search terms and keywords, the day and time of your visit, the location of your visit (continent, country, region, city) and the browser language. This information is only evaluated for statistical purposes. The data is not passed on to third parties.

YouTube

This website embeds videos from YouTube. The operator of the pages is Google Ireland Limited ("Google"), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

We use YouTube in extended data protection mode. According to YouTube, this mode has the effect that YouTube does not store any information about visitors to this website before they view the video. However, the transfer of data to YouTube partners is not necessarily excluded by the extended data protection mode. Thus, YouTube - regardless of whether you watch a video - establishes a connection to the Google DoubleClick network.

As soon as you start a YouTube video on this website, a connection to the servers of YouTube servers is established. This tells the YouTube server which of our pages you have visited. If you are logged into your YouTube account, you enable YouTube to assign your surfing behavior directly to your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.

Furthermore, YouTube can save various cookies on your end device after starting a video or use comparable recognition technologies (e.g. device fingerprinting). In this way, YouTube can obtain information about visitors to this website. This information is used, among other things, to collect video statistics, improve the user experience, and prevent fraud attempts.

If necessary, further data processing operations may be triggered after the start of a YouTube video, over which we have no control.

The legal basis for this processing is their consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and §25 para. 1 TDDDG). The consent can be revoked at any time.
