6. Data protection provisions on the use and application of Matomo (formerly Piwik).

6.1 Scope and description of the processing of personal data

Our website uses "Matomo" (formerly "Piwik"), a web analytics service provided by InnoCraft Ltd, 150 Willis St, 6011 Wellington, New Zealand. Matomo stores cookies on your terminal device that enable an analysis of your use of our website. The information collected in this way is stored exclusively on our server, namely the following data:

- two bytes of the IP address of the user's calling system
- the web page called up
- the website from which the user accessed the accessed website (referrer)
- the subpages accessed from the accessed website
- the time spent on the website
- the frequency with which the website is accessed

Our website uses Matomo with the setting "Anonymize Visitors' IP addresses". This means that IP addresses are processed in abbreviated form, thus excluding the possibility of direct personal references. The software is set so that the IP addresses are not stored in full, but 2 bytes of the IP address are masked (e.g. 192.168.xxx.xxx). In this way, an assignment of the shortened IP address to the calling computer is no longer possible. The IP address transmitted by your browser via Matomo is not merged with other data collected by us.

6.2 Legal basis for the processing of personal data

The legal basis for the processing of the user's data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f EU DS-GVO or § 15 para. 3 TMG.

6.3 Purposes of processing

We use Matomo to analyze the use of our website and individual functions and offers in order to continuously improve the user experience. Through the statistical evaluation of user behavior, we improve our offer and make it more interesting for visitors.

6.4 Duration of storage

The data of the processing described here will be deleted after a storage period of 90 days.

6.5 Possibility of objection and elimination

You can prevent the evaluation by deleting existing cookies and deactivating the storage of cookies in the settings of your web browser. We point out that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of this website in full.
Matomo is an open source project of InnoCraft Ltd, 150 Willis St, 6011 Wellington, New Zealand.
For more information on privacy, please see the privacy policy at: matomo.org/privacy-policy/.

Matomo data is stored on the VAN ROJE web server and is not shared with third parties or server systems outside the EU.

The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to store it, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g. after we have completed processing your request). Mandatory legal provisions - in particular retention periods - remain unaffected.

8. Encryption of data transfer and communication

The transfer of data from the User's computer to the van Roje WebServer as well as vice versa the download of data from the van Roje WebServer to the User's computer is encrypted.
We use the current encryption standard SSL (Secure Socket Layer, version 3.0) for this purpose. This proven cryptographic method is used worldwide as a standard for highly sensitive transactions on the Internet, such as online banking and sensitive Internet applications.
It combines a 2048-bit public key with a 256-bit symmetric key. The lock symbol in the browser window indicates whether the information is transmitted in a protected manner and which encryption length is supported in the browser.
The authenticity of the encryption key from the van-Roje WebServer is confirmed by the Global Sign Inc. root certificate. By clicking on the green lock symbol at the beginning of the address line, the user can learn more about the certificate.

8.1 Handling of applicant data

We offer you the opportunity to apply for a job with us (e.g., by e-mail, by mail, or via an online application form). In the following, we will inform you about the scope, purpose and use of your
personal data collected during the application process. We assure you that the collection, processing and use of your data will be in compliance with applicable data protection law and all other
and all other statutory provisions and that your data will be treated in strict confidence.

The consent can be revoked at any time. Your personal data will only be passed on within our company to persons involved in processing your application. If the application is successful, the data submitted by you will be stored in our data processing systems on the basis of Section 26 BDSG and Art. 6 (1) lit. b DSGVO for the purpose of implementing the employment relationship.

Subsequently, the data will be deleted and the physical application documents destroyed. This storage serves in particular as evidence in the event of a legal dispute. If it is evident that
that the data will be required after the 6-month period has expired (e.g. due to an impending or pending legal dispute), the data will not be deleted until the purpose for which it was retained no longer applies.

We use "Google reCAPTCHA" (hereinafter "reCAPTCHA") on our websites. The provider is Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA ("Google").

The purpose of reCAPTCHA is to verify whether data entry on our websites (e.g. in a contact form) is made by a human or by an automated program. For this purpose, reCAPTCHA analyzes the behavior of the website visitor based on various characteristics. This analysis starts automatically as soon as the website visitor enters the website.

The data collected during the analysis is forwarded to Google.

The reCAPTCHA analyses run entirely in the background. Website visitors are not made aware that an analysis is taking place.
