Privacy Policy

Thank you for visiting Digitl's website. Below, Digitl explains how it handles your data in accordance with Art. 13 of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Data Controller

The data controller responsible for the processing activities described below is the entity identified in Digitl's legal notice (Imprint).

Usage Data

When you visit Digitl's website, its web server temporarily logs usage data for statistical purposes to help improve the quality of the website. This data includes
  • the name and address of the content requested,
  • the date and time of the request,
  • the volume of data transferred,
  • the access status (e.g., content transferred or content not found),
  • the web browser and operating system used, and
  • the referring link showing which page you came from.

The legal basis for processing usage data is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. This processing serves Digitl's legitimate interest in delivering the website's content and ensuring it displays correctly across devices and browsers.

Storage of the IP Address for Security Purposes

In addition, Digitl stores the full IP address transmitted by your browser for seven days, solely for this purpose, based on its legitimate interest in detecting, containing, and remedying attacks on its website. After this period, Digitl deletes or anonymizes the IP address. The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

Data Security

Digitl takes technical and organizational measures to protect your data as comprehensively as possible against unauthorized access. Digitl's website uses TLS encryption, so information is transmitted securely between your device and Digitl's server. You can usually confirm this by the padlock icon in your browser's address bar and by the web address beginning with https://.

Necessary Cookies

Digitl's website uses cookies that are necessary for it to function. Cookies are small text files stored on, and read from, your device. There are two types: session cookies, which are deleted once you close your browser, and persistent cookies, which remain stored beyond your current session.

Digitl does not use these necessary cookies for analytics, tracking, or advertising purposes. Some of them contain only information about certain settings and cannot be linked to a specific person. They may also be required to support site navigation, security, and the website's technical functionality. Digitl uses these cookies based on its legitimate interest under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

You can set your browser to notify you whenever cookies are placed, and you can delete cookies at any time or block new ones through your browser settings. Please note that doing so may prevent parts of Digitl's website from displaying properly or from functioning as intended.

Web Fonts (Google Fonts)

Digitl's website uses Google Fonts for the display of external fonts. All fonts are hosted locally on Digitl's own server. No connection is established to Google servers in this context, and no data is transmitted to Google.

Consent Banner

Digitl's website uses a consent management platform (cookie/consent banner). Processing related to this platform, including logging the settings you choose, is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR - Digitl's legitimate interest in delivering content according to your preferences and being able to document the consent you've given. Your settings, any consent given, and some usage data are stored in a cookie so that your choices are remembered on subsequent visits and your consent can be tracked over time. For more details, see the "Necessary Cookies" section above.

The provider of the consent management platform acts on Digitl's behalf as a processor, bound strictly by Digitl's instructions. Digitl has entered into a data processing agreement with them under Art. 28 GDPR.

Google Consent Mode

Digitl uses Google Consent Mode V2 (Advanced Mode). As a result, regardless of your banner settings, Google receives pings and your IP address. These pings include information such as a timestamp, the referrer URL, and navigation history. Google deletes the IP address immediately upon receipt and does not log it. This processing serves Digitl's legitimate interest in better controlling and using certain functions of the consent-requiring Google services on its website. The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

Web Analytics (Google Analytics)

To tailor its website to visitor needs, Digitl uses the web analytics tool Google Analytics. Google Analytics creates pseudonymous usage profiles based on website interactions. When the website is used, data such as pages viewed, time spent, links clicked, and the usage of specific features is collected. This interaction data is used to create statistical usage profiles that summarize user behavior, categorizing it by general usage intensity or main areas of interest.

These profiles serve solely as a statistical metric to help evaluate and manage the relevance of the content, and do not constitute an evaluation of personal characteristics. The raw interaction data is stored temporarily and automatically deleted after a specified period. For this purpose, persistent cookies are stored on your device, which Digitl then reads to recognize and count returning visitors.

For Google Analytics, Digitl engages Google Ireland Limited as its processor under Art. 28 GDPR. Google may also process data outside the EU/EEA, in particular in the USA. An adequate level of data protection is ensured through the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework adequacy decision. Google also commits to entering into Standard Contractual Clauses with any additional sub-processors.

This processing is based on your consent, given via Digitl's banner. You may withdraw your consent at any time by following this link and adjusting your settings in the banner.

Advertising & Retargeting Cookies (LinkedIn Insight Tag)

Digitl uses LinkedIn's Insight Tag, a tool provided by LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland ("LinkedIn"), to analyze visitor behavior on its website. The respective cookie can be stored for up to two years and collects the following information: IP address, Timestamp, Page activities, Demographic data from LinkedIn, if you are an active LinkedIn member. Based on this data, Digitl is able to serve more personalized and targeted ads within the respective LinkedIn advertising network, in order to address potential customers and employees more accurately. LinkedIn processes the data generated in this way and acts as data controller in this regard. For further information on the purpose, scope, and use of data processing by LinkedIn, as well as on privacy settings, please refer to LinkedIn's privacy information at https://privacy.linkedin.com/ and to LinkedIn Opt-Out options.

This processing is based on your consent, given via Digitl's banner. You may withdraw your consent at any time by adjusting your settings in the banner.

Newsletter Registration and Distribution

You can subscribe to Digitl's newsletter on its website. To register you, Digitl needs certain data, at minimum your email address.

Digitl only sends the newsletter if you have given explicit consent. After subscribing, you will receive a confirmation email at the address you provided (a “double opt-in” process). You may withdraw your consent at any time, for example via the unsubscribe link included in every newsletter. For more information on data processing by Mailchimp, please refer to Mailchimp's privacy policy.

For sending its newsletter, Digitl uses the service "Mailchimp", a newsletter dispatch platform provided by the US-based provider Rocket Science Group, LLC, 675 Ponce De Leon Ave NE #5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA. The email addresses of newsletter recipients and the other data described above are stored on Mailchimp's servers in the USA. Mailchimp uses this information to send and evaluate the newsletter on Digitl's behalf, for example by recording open rates and click rates on links contained in the newsletter; this statistical data helps Digitl optimize its newsletter campaigns. Mailchimp is certified under the Data Privacy Framework, which, according to the decision of the European Commission, ensures an adequate level of data protection for data transfers to the USA.

For newsletter registration, Digitl also stores additional data where necessary to demonstrate that you subscribed. This may include the full IP address at the time of subscription or confirmation, as well as a copy of the confirmation email. This processing is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR and Digitl's legitimate interest in being able to demonstrate the lawfulness of its newsletter distribution.

Contact Form

You can contact Digitl using the contact form. To use it, Digitl first requires the data marked as mandatory fields.

Digitl processes this data under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR to respond to your inquiry.

Your data is processed only to respond to your inquiry. Digitl deletes it once it is no longer needed and no statutory retention obligations apply - typically after your inquiry has been resolved or 30 days later.

You have the right to object at any time to processing under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. To do so, please contact the email address listed in Digitl's legal notice (Imprint).

Job Applications

If you apply for a position at Digitl, Digitl processes the personal data you submit as part of your application (e.g., via email, a job portal, or a career page) to carry out the application process.

Map Services (Google Maps)

Digitl's website uses Google Maps, a service of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland ("Google"), to show the venue on event pages.

On event pages with a venue, Digitl first shows a static preview image of the map instead of the interactive map. To create this image, Digitl's server requests a map image for the venue address from Google. No data relating to you is transmitted in this request. The preview image is delivered from Digitl's own servers and is not stored. While only the preview image is shown, your browser does not connect to Google. Google receives neither your IP address nor any other information about your visit, and no cookies are set.

The interactive map is loaded from Google only when you click "Load map". Your browser then connects to Google's servers. Google learns that you have accessed Digitl's website, receives your IP address and the usage data technically required to load the map, and may store cookies on your device. Digitl has no control over how Google processes this data afterward.

By clicking "Load map", you consent to loading the interactive map. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and, where information is stored on or read from your device, § 25(1) TDDDG. Your consent applies only to the current page view. Digitl does not store this decision, and no cookie or similar entry is placed on your device for this purpose. When you leave or reload the page, the map closes and the preview image is shown again. No further data is sent to Google unless you click "Load map" again. You can therefore withdraw your consent at any time by leaving or reloading the page. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing that took place before it.

Event pages also include a directions link that opens Google Maps. No data is sent to Google until you click this link. Once you follow it, Google's own privacy policy applies: https://business.safety.google/privacy/google-services/maps/

Digitl stores no data from your use of the map beyond the normal server log files.

Google may process your data outside the EU/EEA, in particular in the USA. The table below gives details on the applicable level of data protection.

Withdrawal takes effect for the future only and does not affect data already transmitted.

Integration of Other Third-Party Technical Content and Functions

Digitl uses the technical functions and content of Google listed below to operate its website.

Accessing Digitl's pages loads content from these third-party providers. As a result, they learn that you have accessed Digitl's website and receive the usage data technically required in this context.

Digitl has no control over how these providers further process your data.

This processing is based on your consent, given via Digitl's banner.

Please note that using third-party content and functions may result in your data being processed outside the EU/EEA, in particular in the USA. For transfers to the USA, an adequate level of data protection is ensured through the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework adequacy decision.

Retention Period

Unless a retention period has already been specified elsewhere, Digitl deletes personal data once it is no longer needed for the purposes described above and no legitimate interests or statutory retention obligations require Digitl to keep it.

Your Rights as a Data Subject

The GDPR grants you, as a data subject, the following rights regarding the processing of your personal data:

Right of Access (Art. 15 GDPR): You have the right to obtain confirmation as to whether personal data concerning you is being processed; if this is the case, you have a right of access to that personal data and to the information specified in detail in Art. 15 GDPR.

Right to Rectification (Art. 16 GDPR): You have the right to obtain, without undue delay, the rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning you and, if necessary, the completion of incomplete data.

Right to Erasure (Art. 17 GDPR): You have the right to obtain, without undue delay, the erasure of personal data concerning you, provided one of the grounds set out in detail in Art. 17 GDPR applies.

Right to Restriction of Processing (Art. 18 GDPR): You have the right to request the restriction of processing where one of the conditions set out in Art. 18 GDPR is met, e.g. where you have objected to the processing, for the duration of the review by the controller.

Right to Data Portability (Art. 20 GDPR): In certain cases set out in detail in Art. 20 GDPR, you have the right to receive the personal data concerning you in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, or to request that this data be transmitted to a third party.

Right to Withdraw Consent (Art. 7 GDPR): Where processing of data is based on your consent, you are entitled, pursuant to Art. 7(3) GDPR, to withdraw your consent to the use of your personal data at any time. Please note that withdrawal only takes effect for the future. Processing carried out prior to the withdrawal remains unaffected.

Right to Object (Art. 21 GDPR): Where data is collected on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (processing to safeguard legitimate interests) or Art. 6(1)(e) GDPR (processing to safeguard the public interest or in the exercise of official authority), you have the right, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to object at any time to the processing. Digitl will then no longer process the personal data, unless Digitl can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.

Right to Lodge a Complaint with a Supervisory Authority (Art. 77 GDPR): Pursuant to Art. 77 GDPR, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority if you consider that the processing of data concerning you infringes data protection law. This right may in particular be exercised before a supervisory authority in the Member State of your habitual residence, your place of work, or the place of the alleged infringement.

Exercising Your Rights: Unless otherwise stated above, please contact the entity named in Digitl's legal notice (Imprint) to exercise your rights as a data subject.
