8.4 Matomo (without Cookies)

8.4.1 Description and scope of data processing

We use the web analytics service MatomoData processing is carried out exclusively by Janitza GmbH itself, as we host the application ourselves and thus no data is transferred to third parties.

A consent-free tracking procedure has been established for our website. The software is set in such a way that the IP addresses are not stored in full, but 2 bytes of the IP address are masked (ex: 192.168.xxx.xxx). In this way, it is no longer possible to assign the shortened IP address to the calling computer. These partially anonymized IP addresses are converted into a hash value together with identifiers from the user agent of the browser (operating system, browser version, etc.), which are recognized when the page is called up. This hash value can be used to differentiate between concurrent users, i.e. users who are on the page at the same time.

The procedure is thus anonymized. Personal or person-related data is therefore not processed. Writing to the end device does not take place. Consent is therefore not required in accordance with the TTDSG, the ePrivacy Directive and the GDPR.

Technical information on the anonymized procedure with Matomo can be found here: https://matomo.org/faq/general/how-is-the-visitor-config_id-processed/

For more information on Matomo's privacy policy, please refer to the links below: https://matomo.org/privacy/ and https://matomo.org/privacy-policy/

If you have asserted to the controller your right to rectification, deletion or restriction of data processing, the controller will inform all recipients of your personal data to correct, delete or restrict the processing of data, unless this proves impossible or involves disproportionate effort.

You also have the right to know which recipients have received your personal data.

vi) Right to data portability (Art. 20 GDPR)

You have the right to receive your personal data, which you provided to a controller, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. Also, you have the right to transmit those data to another controller, where

  • the processing is based on consent pursuant of Art. 6 Para. 1 S.1 lit. a) GDPR or of Art. 9 Para. 2 lit. a) GDPR or is based on a contract pursuant of Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. b) DS-GVO; and
  • the processing is carried out by automated means.

In exercising your right to data portability, you have the right to obtain that personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another controller, as far as technically feasible. The right to data portability does not apply to processing of personal data necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority that has been delegated to the controller.

vii) Right to object (Art. 21 GDPR)

Where the controller based the processing of your personal data on a legitimate interest (Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. f) GDPR), you may object to the processing. The same applies if the data processing is based on Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. e).

In this case, please explain the reasons why the controller should not process your personal data. Based on this the controller will terminate or adapt the data processing or show you our legitimate reasons why the controller continues the data processing.

viii) Right to lodge a complaint with supervisory authority (Art. 77 GDPR)

Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you shall have the right to complain to a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your residence, place of work or place of alleged infringement, if you believe that the processing of the personal data concerning you is against the infringes of the GDPR.

The supervisory authority to which the complaint has been submitted shall inform you of the status and results of the complaint, including the possibility of a judicial remedy according to Article 78 GDPR.
