Privacy Policy

Purpose and accountability

This privacy policy clarifies the nature, scope and purpose of the processing (including collection, processing, use and consent) of personal data collected on our website and through associated webpages, functions and content (hereafter referred to as “Website” or “Service”). This privacy policy applies regardless of which domain, system, platform, or device (e.g. desktop or mobile) the Website is accessed on.
The provider of the Website and the party responsible for data protection and privacy issues with regard to the Website, are the Society for Analytic Philosophy (Gesellschaft für Analytische Philosophie e.V.) and the University of Cologne, Germany (hereafter referred to as “provider”, “we” or “us”). For further information on contact details please refer to our legal notice.
The term “user” refers to all customers and visitors of our Website.

General Information on data processing

We process all collected personal data in accordance with the relevant data protection regulations and adhere to the principles of data economy and data avoidance. This means that user data will only be processed when this is permitted by law. This applies, in particular, if data processing is required or prescribed by law for the provision of our contractual services and provided online services, or if the user has provided their consent.

Insofar as content, tools or any other resources from other providers (hereafter referred to as “third-party providers”) are employed within the scope of this privacy policy and said third-party providers have their registered headquarters abroad, it should be assumed that data will be transferred to said third-party provider’s country of domicile. Data shall be transferred to third countries if this transfer is permitted by law, if the user has provided their consent or if contractual terms are in place which assure an adequate level of data protection.

Provision of chargeable services

In order to deliver chargeable services, we need our users to provide additional information, e.g. full address or contact information as those are necessary for the proper processing of a registration.

Processing of Personal Data

In addition to the uses expressly stated in this privacy policy, personal data will be processed on the basis of legal permission or the user’s consent for the following purposes:

  • The provision, execution, maintenance, optimisation and securing of our services, including service provisions and user services.
  • Ensuring effective customer service and technical support.

We only forward user data to third parties if this is necessary for billing purposes (e.g. to a payment service provider) or for other purposes necessary to fulfil our contractual obligations towards the users (e.g. address information to suppliers/distributers/providers).

When contacting us (via our contact form or e-mail) user contact details will be stored for the purpose of processing the request and for the case that follow-up questions arise.
Personal data will be deleted if it has fulfilled its intended purpose and if its deletion does not conflict with any retention requirements.

Collection of access data

We collect data every time the server on which the service is located is accessed. This data is collected in the form of so-called server log files. These access logs include the name of the website and/or the file accessed, the date and time of access, the amount of transferred data, notification of successful retrieval, information on the web browser used (including the version), the user’s operating system, referrer URL (of the precious page linking our Website), IP-address and the requesting provider.

These information are technically necessary, to deliver the requested content of this website correctly and are an obligatory part of using the internet in general. The purpose of those information are:

  • ensure a smooth establishment of the connection to the website
  • ensure a unobstructed use of our website
  • evaluation of system security and stability as well as
  • further administrative purposes

We use the log files without allocation to the user’s person or other profiling, in accordance with the legal provisions and only for statistical evaluations in the interest of the operation, security and optimisation of our online Services. However, we reserve the right to retrospectively check the log files in the case of concrete indications for its unlawful use.

Cookies & reach measurement

This privacy policy informs users of the use of cookies in the context of pseudonymous reach measurement. Personal data will be deleted if it has fulfilled its intended purpose and if its deletion does not conflict with any retention requirements.

The viewing of our online service is also possible with the disabling of cookies. In the case that the user does not wish cookies to be stored on their computer, they are asked to disable the relevant option in their browser settings. Stored cookies can be deleted in the browser settings any time. Disabling cookies may however prevent the user from enjoying the full functionality of this Website.
Users can manage their preferences with regard to blocking cookies that are used by companies for online advertising on the U.S. website https://www.aboutads.info/choices or the European website https://www.youronlinechoices.com/uk/your-ad-choices/ .

User rights and deletion of data

Users have the right to obtain information on the personal data we have collected from them free of charge upon request. In addition, users have the right to correct any inaccurate data, revoke any consents, restrict the processing of their personal data or delete it, as well as the right to submit a complaint to the relevant supervisory authorities if they suspect that data has been processed unlawfully.

Personal data will be deleted if it has fulfilled its intended purpose and if its deletion does not conflict with any retention requirements.

Data security

We use  the so-called SSL security system (Secure Socket Layer) for transmitting data in conjunction with the highest level of encryption that is supported by your browser. This is usually 256 bit encryption. In case your browser does not support 256 bit encryption, a fall-back solution with the 128 bit v3 technology is used instead. You can recognise a secure connection by the closed lock symbol in your browsers address bar.

We apply state-of-the-art organisational, contractual and technical security measures to ensure compliance with the provisions of the data protection laws and to thereby protect the data we process against accidental or intentional manipulation, loss, destruction or access by unauthorised persons. Our security measures are continuously improved in line with technological development.

Amendments to this privacy policy

We reserve the right to amend this privacy policy in order to adapt it to changes in the legal situation or to changes relating to the Service or data processing. However, this only applies to declarations concerning data processing. If users’ consent is required or if parts of the privacy policy contain provisions for the contractual relationship with the users, these changes shall only be made with the users’ consent.

Users are requested to inform themselves about the content of the privacy policy on a regular basis.
