The data controller is the natural or legal person who alone or jointly with others determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data (e.g. names, e-mail addresses, etc.).

Revocation of your consent to data processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke consent you have already given at any time. All you need to do is send us an informal e-mail. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

Right of appeal to the competent supervisory authority
In the event of violations of data protection law, the data subject has a right of appeal to the competent supervisory authority. The competent supervisory authority in matters of data protection law is the State Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information of Rhineland-Palatinate, Hintere Bleiche 34, 55116 Mainz, e-mail: poststelle@datenschutz.rlp.de.

2) Any data subject may contact our data protection officer directly at any time with any questions or suggestions regarding data protection.

§ 5 Scope and purpose of the collection and processing of data

1) The website of the IKuM GmbH, the City of Ingelheim and the VG Gau-Algesheim collects a series of general data and information with each call-up of the website by a data subject or an automated system. This general data and information is stored in the log files of the server. The following can be recorded

1. browser types and versions used,

2. the operating system used by the accessing system,

3. the website from which an accessing system arrives at our website (so-called referrer),

4. the sub-websites which are accessed via an accessing system on our website,

5. the date and time of an access to the website,

6. an internet protocol address (IP address),

7. the Internet service provider of the accessing system and

8. other similar data and information that serve to avert danger in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.

2) When using these data and information, the IKuM GmbH, the city of Ingelheim and the VG Gau-Algesheim does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is required in order to

1. display the contents of our website correctly

2. optimise the contents of our website as well as the advertising for the same,

3. ensure the long-term functionality of our information technology systems and the technology of our website, and

4. to provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for prosecution in the event of a cyber attack. Therefore, the IKuM GmbH, the city of Ingelheim and the VG Gau-Algesheim analyzes anonymously collected data and information on one hand for statistical purposes and on the other hand for the purpose of increasing the data protection and data security of our enterprise, so that we can ultimately ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from any personal data provided by a data subject.

§ 6 Use of cookies

1) These Internet pages of IKuM GmbH, the city of Ingelheim and the VG Gau-Algesheim use the Cookiebot by Usertrincs. Cookiebot by Usertrincs uses so-called cookies. These are text files that are stored on your computer and enable an analysis of your use of the website. For this purpose, the information generated by the cookie about the use of this website is stored on our server. The IP address is anonymised before storage.

Cookiebot cookies remain on your terminal device until you delete them.

The storage of Cookiebot cookies is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the anonymised analysis of user behaviour in order to optimise both its website and its advertising.

2) Numerous websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a string of characters by which websites and servers can be assigned to the specific internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This enables the visited Internet pages and servers to distinguish the individual browser of the data subject from other Internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific internet browser can be recognised and identified via the unique cookie ID.

3) Through the use of cookies, the IKuM GmbH, the city of Ingelheim and the VG Gau-Algesheim can provide the users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the cookie setting.

4) By means of a cookie, the information and offers on our website can be optimised for the user. As already mentioned, cookies enable us to recognise the users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to use our website. For example, the user of a website that uses cookies does not have to re-enter his or her access data each time he or she visits the website, because this is done by the website and the cookie stored on the user's computer system. Another example is the cookie of a shopping basket when ordering brochures and booking hotels. The website remembers the ordered services that a customer has placed in the virtual shopping basket via a cookie.

5) The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of an appropriate setting of the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Furthermore, cookies that have already been set can be deleted at any time via an internet browser or other software programmes. This is possible in all common internet browsers. If the data subject deactivates the setting of cookies in the Internet browser used, not all functions of our website may be fully usable.

§ 7 Registration on our website

1) The data subject has the possibility to register on the website of the controller by providing personal data. The personal data that is transmitted to the data controller in this process results from the respective input mask used for the registration. The personal data entered by the data subject are collected and stored exclusively for internal use by the controller and for its own purposes. The controller may arrange for the data to be transferred to one or more processors, for example a parcel service provider, who will also use the personal data exclusively for an internal use attributable to the controller.

2) By registering on the website of the controller, the date and time of registration will also be stored. The storage of this data takes place against the background that only in this way can the misuse of our services be prevented and, if necessary, this data makes it possible to clarify criminal offences that have been committed. In this respect, the storage of this data is necessary for the protection of the data controller. As a matter of principle, this data is not passed on to third parties unless there is a legal obligation to pass it on or the passing on serves the purpose of criminal prosecution.

3) The registration of the data subject by voluntarily providing personal data serves the purpose of the controller to offer the data subject content or services which, due to the nature of the matter, can only be offered to registered users. Registered persons are free to modify the personal data provided during registration at any time or to have it completely deleted from the data inventory of the controller, unless a higher-ranking legal obligation obliges the controller to retain the data.

The controller shall provide any data subject at any time, upon request, with information on what personal data is stored about the data subject. Furthermore, the controller shall correct or delete personal data at the request or indication of the data subject, provided that this does not conflict with any statutory retention obligations. Requests for correction and information should be addressed to:

  • IKuM- Ingelheimer Kultur- und Marketing GmbH, meinedaten@ikum-ingelheim.de
  • City of Ingelheim am Rhein, poststelle@ingelheim.de
  •  Verbandsgemeindeverwaltung Gau-Algesheim, e-mail: info@vg-gau-algesheim.de


§ 8 Use of the contact form on the homepage


1) The website of IKuM GmbH, the City of Ingelheim and the VG Gau-Algesheim contains, on the basis of statutory provisions, information that enables a quick electronic contact to our company as well as direct communication with us, which also includes a general address of the so-called electronic mail (e-mail address).

2) If a data subject contacts the controller by e-mail or via a contact form, the personal data provided by the data subject will be automatically stored. Such personal data transmitted on a voluntary basis by a data subject to the controller will be stored for the purposes of processing or contacting the data subject. Such personal data will not be disclosed to third parties.

§ 9 Data protection for applications and in the application procedure

1) The controller collects and processes the personal data of applicants for the purpose of handling the application procedure.

2) The processing may also be carried out electronically. This is in particular the case if an applicant submits relevant application documents to the controller by electronic means, for example by e-mail or via a web form located on the website.

3) If the controller concludes an employment contract with an applicant, the transmitted data will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in compliance with the statutory provisions.

4) If no employment contract is concluded by the controller with the applicant, the application documents shall be automatically deleted six months after the notification of the rejection decision, unless other legitimate interests of the controller prevent such deletion. Other legitimate interest in this sense is, for example, a duty to provide evidence in proceedings under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).

§ 10 Subscription to our newsletter

1) On the website of the IKuM GmbH, the city of Ingelheimand the VG Gau-Algesheim, users are given the opportunity to subscribe to our enterprise's newsletter. The personal data transmitted to the controller when the newsletter is ordered is specified in the input mask used for this purpose.

2) The IKuM GmbH, the City of Ingelheim and the VG Gau-Algesheim informs its customers and business partners at regular intervals by means of a newsletter about enterprise offers. The newsletter of our enterprise can basically only be received by the data subject, if (1) the data subject has a valid e-mail address and (2) the data subject registers for the newsletter mailing. For legal reasons, a confirmation e-mail is sent to the e-mail address registered by a data subject for the first time for the newsletter dispatch using the double opt-in procedure. This confirmation e-mail serves to verify whether the owner of the e-mail address as the data subject has authorised the receipt of the newsletter.

3) When registering for the newsletter, we also store the IP address of the computer system used by the data subject at the time of registration as well as the date and time of registration, which is assigned by the Internet service provider (ISP). The collection of this data is necessary in order to be able to trace the (possible) misuse of a data subject's email address at a later point in time and therefore serves as a legal safeguard for the controller.

4) The personal data collected in the context of a registration for the newsletter is used exclusively for sending our newsletter. Furthermore, subscribers to the newsletter could be informed by e-mail if this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or a registration in this regard, as could be the case in the event of changes to the newsletter offer or changes to the technical circumstances. No personal data collected as part of the newsletter service will be passed on to third parties. The subscription to our newsletter can be cancelled by the data subject at any time. The consent to the storage of personal data, which the data subject has given us for the newsletter dispatch, can be revoked at any time. For the purpose of revoking consent, a corresponding link can be found in each newsletter. Furthermore, it is also possible to unsubscribe from the newsletter mailing directly on the website of the controller at any time or to inform the controller of this in another way.

§ 11 Newsletter tracking

1) The newsletters of IKuM GmbH, the city of Ingelheim and the VG Gau-Algesheim contain so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic that is embedded in such emails that are sent in HTML format to enable log file recording and log file analysis. This allows a statistical evaluation of the success or failure of online marketing campaigns. Based on the embedded tracking pixel, the IKuM GmbH, the City of Ingelheim and the VG Gau-Algesheim may see if and when an e-mail was opened by a data subject, and which links contained in the e-mail were called up by the data subject.

2) Such personal data collected via the tracking pixels contained in the newsletters are stored and analysed by the controller in order to optimise the newsletter dispatch and to better adapt the content of future newsletters to the interests of the data subject. This personal data will not be disclosed to third parties. Data subjects are entitled at any time to revoke the separate declaration of consent given in this regard via the double opt-in procedure. After a revocation, this personal data will be deleted by the data controller. IKuM GmbH, Stadt Ingelheim und der VG Gau-Algesheim automatically regards a withdrawal from the receipt of the newsletter as a revocation.

§ 12 Legal basis of processing

1) Art. 6 I lit. a DSGVO serves our company & our municipalities as the legal basis for processing operations in which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, as is the case, for example, with processing operations that are necessary for a delivery of goods or the provision of another service or consideration, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. b DSGVO. The same applies to processing operations that are necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, for example in the case of enquiries about our products or services.

2) If our company & our municipalities are subject to a legal obligation through which the processing of personal data becomes necessary, such as for the fulfilment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. c DSGVO.

3) In rare cases, the processing of personal data might be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were to be injured on our premises and as a result his or her name, age, health insurance details or other vital information had to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. Then the processing would be based on Art. 6 I lit. d DSGVO. Finally, processing operations could be based on Art. 6 I lit. f DSGVO. Processing operations which are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases are based on this legal basis if the processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject are not overridden. Such processing operations are permitted to us in particular because they were specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this respect, it took the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the controller (recital 47, sentence 2 of the GDPR).

§ Section 13 Legitimate interests in processing pursued by the controller or a third party

If the processing of personal data is based on Article 6 I lit. f DSGVO, our legitimate interest is the performance of our business activities for the benefit of the well-being of all our employees and our shareholders.

§ 14 No automated decision making

As a responsible company & community, we do not use automated decision-making or profiling.

If the personal data has been made public by the IKuM GmbH and the municipalities and if they are responsible pursuant to Art. 17 Para. 1 DSGVO to erase personal data, IKuM GmbH and Municipalities shall implement reasonable measures, including technical measures, taking into account the available technology and the cost of implementation, in order to inform other data controllers which process the published personal data that the data subject has requested from those other data controllers the erasure of all links to the personal data or copies or replications of the personal data, unless the processing is necessary. The employee(s) of the IKuM GmbH and the municipalities will arrange the necessary in individual cases.

5) Right to restriction of processing

Any person concerned by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European Directive and Regulation, to obtain from the controller the restriction of processing where one of the following conditions is met:

b. The processing is unlawful, the data subject objects to the erasure of the personal data and requests instead the restriction of the use of the personal data.

c. The controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but the data subject needs it for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims.

d. The data subject has objected to the processing pursuant to Article 21(1) of the GDPR and it is not yet clear whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override those of the data subject.

If one of the aforementioned conditions is met, and a data subject wishes to request the restriction of personal data stored by the IKuM GmbH and municipalities, he or she may contact the addresses specified in §13 point 10.

The employee(s) of IKuM GmbH and the municipalities will arrange the restriction of the processing.

7) Right to object

Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European Directive and Regulation to object at any time, on grounds relating to his or her particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning him or her which is carried out on the basis of Article 6(1)(e) or (f) DSGVO. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions.

IKuM GmbH and the municipalities shall no longer process the personal data in the event of the objection, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims.

If the IKuM GmbH and the municipalities processes personal data for the purpose of direct marketing, the data subject shall have the right to object at any time to processing of personal data processed for such marketing. This also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to such direct marketing.

We would like to inform you that the provision of personal data is sometimes required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or may also result from contractual regulations (e.g. information on the contractual partner). Sometimes, in order to conclude a contract, it may be necessary for a data subject to provide us with personal data that must subsequently be processed by us. For example, the data subject is obliged to provide us with personal data if our company concludes a contract with him or her. Failure to provide the personal data would mean that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded. Before providing personal data by the data subject, the data subject must contact the company and the municipalities via the following e-mail address.

  • IKuM - Ingelheimer Kultur- und Marketing GmbH, e-mail: datenschutz@ikum-ingelheim.de, tel. no.: 06132 7100090
  • City of Ingelheim am Rhein, e-mail: poststelle@ingelheim.de, tel. no.: 06132 782 0
  • Municipality of Gau-Algesheim, e-mail: datenschutz@vg-gau-algesheim.de, e-mail: 06725 910 129

Our employee will inform the data subject on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of the personal data is required by law or contract or is necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data and what the consequences of not providing the personal data would be.

§ 17 Duration for which the personal data are stored

The criterion for the duration of the storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After expiry of the period, the corresponding data is routinely deleted, provided that it is no longer required for the fulfilment or initiation of the contract.

§ 18 Routine deletion and blocking of personal data

1) The controller shall process and store personal data of the data subject only for the period of time necessary to achieve the purpose of storage or where provided for by the European Directive and Regulation or other legislator in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject.

2) If the storage purpose ceases to apply or if a storage period prescribed by the European Directive and Regulation Maker or another competent legislator expires, the personal data shall be routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with the statutory provisions.

§ 22 Google Analytics 4

As part of website analysis, we use "Google Analytics 4", a web analysis service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland ("Google").

Google Analytics 4 uses so-called "cookies", text files that are stored on your computer.

The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website (including your IP address) is transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

We process the data obtained in this way due to our overriding interest in the optimal marketing of our online offer in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 f) DSGVO. Under no circumstances will Google associate your IP address with other Google data.

We would like to point out that this website uses Google Analytics 4 with the extension "anonymizeIp". This shortens IP addresses before they are sent to a server in the United States. A direct personal reference in connection with the stored data is therefore generally excluded. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be sent to a server in the USA and shortened there.

You can object to data collection at any time with effect for the future by using the deactivation add-on for browsers from Google Analytics 4 at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.
