The contents of this Privacy Policy relate to the Resource Calculator of the Wuppertal Institut für Klima, Umwelt, Energie gGmbH, hereinafter called “the Website”.
Personal data such as names, addresses, e-mail addresses or telephone numbers of data subjects, for example, are processed at this website at all times in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation and in compliance with the applicable country-specific data protection regulations. The Wuppertal Institut für Klima, Umwelt, Energie gGmbH wishes through the medium of this Privacy Policy to provide information regarding the nature, scope and purpose of the personal data collected, used and processed by us. This Policy also explains the rights of data subjects.
The Wuppertal Institut für Klima, Umwelt, Energie gGmbH as the controller responsible for the processing of data has put in place numerous technical and organisational measures to ensure that the personal data processed at this website are as far as possible seamlessly protected. Nevertheless, Internet-based data transfers may fundamentally exhibit security loopholes, with the result that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, it is open to all data subjects to communicate personal data to us by alternative means, for example by telephone.
Every data subject may contact our data protection officer directly at any time to discuss any and all queries and suggestions.
On each occasion on which the website of the Wuppertal Institut für Klima, Umwelt, Energie gGmbH is called up by a data subject or automated system, the website records a series of general data and information. The general data and information are stored in the server log files. Data recorded may include (1) browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the Internet website from which an accessing system is referred to our website (known as the referrer), (4) the sub-websites via which an accessing system is directed to our website, (5) the date and time at which the Internet website is accessed, (6) an Internet Protocol address (IP address), (7) the Internet service provider used by the accessing system and (8) other similar data and Information which may used for defensive purposes in the event of an attack on our information technology systems.
The Wuppertal Institut für Klima, Umwelt, Energie gGmbH in its use of these data and information draws no conclusions regarding the data subject. On the contrary, this information is required in order (1) to correctly deliver the contents of our website, (2) to optimise the contents of our website for the data subject, (3) to guarantee the sustained functionality of our information technology systems and our website technology, and (4) to provide the law enforcement authorities with the necessary information to enforce the law in the event of a cyber attack. These anonymously collected data and information are therefore analysed by the Wuppertal Institut für Klima, Umwelt, Energie gGmbH on the one hand statistically, but also with the object of enhancing data protection and data security at our Institute, in order ultimately to ensure an optimum level of protection for the personal data processed by us. The anonymous server log file data are stored separately from any and all of the personal data disclosed by a data subject.
5. Collection of specific data and information
By using our website, you agree that the answers you provide in the categories of housing, consumption, nutrition, leisure, mobility and holidays – as well as your optional socio-economic data – will be stored anonymously for scientific research purposes of the Wuppertal Institut für Klima, Umwelt, Energie gGmbH. The data is saved when the final result is calculated and the date and time of the result calculation are added to your entries. No data is stored until the final result, which can only be calculated after all questions have been answered. By the anonymous storage of the data no conclusions can be drawn about your person.
The following information is stored in a file on the server when the final result is calculated:
Place of residence, household size, type of electricity supply, electricity consumption, type of heating, heating consumption
Number of household appliances, number of consumer electronics appliances, monthly clothing purchases, type of furniture
Type of food, number of daily drinks, amount of household waste
Hobbies, visiting leisure facilities, winter sports
Occupational and private mobility, number and type of cars in the household, type of drive and consumption of cars, number of persons in the car
Arrival on holiday, holiday accommodation
Gender, age, educational background, employment, income, price acceptance, relationship with friends, state of health, satisfaction
Date and time of data storage
If personal data have been publically disclosed by the Wuppertal Institut für Klima, Umwelt, Energie gGmbH, and if our Institute as controller pursuant to Art. 17 Para. 1 GDPR is obliged to erase such personal data, the Wuppertal Institut für Klima, Umwelt, Energie gGmbH in consideration of the available technology and the costs of implementation will take appropriate measures, including such of a technical nature, to inform other controllers involved in the processing of personal data that have by now been made public that the data subject has demanded that said other controllers delete all links to these personal data or copies or replications of these personal data insofar as the processing thereof is not necessary.
In the event of an objection, the Wuppertal Institut für Klima, Umwelt, Energie gGmbH will cease to process personal data, unless we are able to demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject or the processing is undertaken for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
Where personal data are processed by the Wuppertal Institut für Klima, Umwelt, Energie gGmbH for direct marketing purposes, data subjects have the right at any time to object to the processing of their personal data for such marketing. This also applies to profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing. Should a data subject lodge an objection with the Wuppertal Institut für Klima, Umwelt, Energie gGmbH against processing for direct marketing purposes, the Wuppertal Institut für Klima, Umwelt, Energie gGmbH will cease to process these personal data for these purposes.
In addition, data subjects also have the right on grounds arising from their particular situation to object to the processing of their personal data by the Wuppertal Institut für Klima, Umwelt, Energie gGmbH for scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes pursuant to Art. 89 Para. 1 GDPR, unless such processing is necessary for the fulfilment of a task which is in the public interest.
Every data subject has the right, granted by European legislators, not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing - including profiling - which produces legal effects concerning him or her or similarly significantly affects him or her, insofar as the decision (1) is not required for the conclusion or fulfilment of a contract between the data subject and the controller, or (2) is permissible under the laws of the European Union or Member States to which the controller is subject and these laws include adequate measures to uphold the rights and freedoms as well as the legitimate interests of the data subject, or (3) takes place with the express consent of the data subject.
If the decision (1) is required for the conclusion or fulfilment of a contract between the data subject and the controller, or (2) takes place with the express consent of the data subject, the Wuppertal Institut für Klima, Umwelt, Energie gGmbH will take appropriate measures to uphold the rights, freedoms and legitimate interests of the data subject, including as a minimum the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express his or her point of view and to contest the decision.
8. Privacy statements regarding the deployment and use of Google Web Fonts
When you call up a page of our website, your browser makes a direct connection with Google servers. Google thus becomes aware that our website was accessed via your IP address. The use of Google Web fonts is done in the interest of a uniform and attractive presentation of our website. This constitutes a justified interest pursuant to Art. 6 I Letter f GDPR.
Through its certification under the EU-US Privacy Shield (www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active), Google guarantees that the EU data protection regulations are complied with even when data are processed in the USA. Further information about handling user data can be found at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and in Google's privacy policy at https://policies.google.com/privacy
Art. 6 I Letter a GDPR provides our Institute with a legal basis for processing operations in connection with which we obtain consent for specific purposes. Where the processing of personal data is necessary for the fulfilment of a contract entered into with the data subject, as for example in the case of processing operations that are required for the supply of products or performance of some other service or consideration, such processing is based upon Art. 6 I Letter b GDPR. This likewise applies to such processing operations as may be required for the execution of pre-contractual measures, for example in the case of inquiries concerning our products or services. Where our Institute is subject to a legal obligation which necessitates the processing of personal data, as for example in the fulfilment of tax obligations, such processing is based upon Art. 6 I Letter c GDPR. In rare cases the processing of personal data may be required in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would, for example, be the case if a visitor to our Institute were to suffer injury, thereby necessitating the communication of his or her name, age, health insurance details or other vital information to a doctor, hospital or other third parties. Processing would then be carried out on the basis of Art. 6 I Letter d GDPR. Lastly, processing operations may also be based on Art. 6 I Letter f GDPR. This provides the legal basis for processing operations not covered by any of the above bases in law, where processing is required to uphold a legitimate interest on the part of our Institute or a third party, provided that the interests, basic rights and freedoms of the data subject do not take precedence. We are permitted to undertake such processing operations in particular because they have been mentioned specifically by European legislators. The latter were of the opinion that a legitimate interest may be assumed to exist if the data subject is a customer of the controller (Recital 47 Sentence 2 GDPR).
12. Regulations regarding the provision of personal data; necessity for entry into contract; obligation on the part of the data subject to provide personal data
We would make it clear that the provision of personal data is in some cases required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or may arise from contractual provisions (e.g. details of the contracting party). Occasionally it may be necessary for the purpose of entering into a contract for a data subject to make personal data available to us which must then subsequently be processed by us. For example, a data subject is obliged to provide us with personal data if our Institute proposes to enter into a contract with said person. Failure to provide personal data would then lead to the consequence that the contract could not be entered into with the data subject.
As a responsibly minded undertaking, we refrain from automated decision-making or profiling.
