Please find below which personal data we collect and how we process the data obtained. Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person; the latter is a person who can just be identified directly, or indirectly, by the available data such as name, email address or telephone number. However, technical information that can be linked to a person is considered personal data as well.
Please note
- that our website is operated by Paulbergman GmbH (https://www.alumnii.deprocessing your information on our behalf
- that the collection of your personal data on this website is not required, neither by law nor contract
You are also not required to enter personal data on this website. Nevertheless, the services of this website and the download of a newsletter require the processing of your information.
If you visit our website …
… we collect your information, which is transferred when using an Internet page, in particular date and time of access, your IP address, source of access (the so-called referrer) and data on your operating system and browser. In addition, we collect information on the sub-pages you use.
IP addresses are assigned to each device (e.g. smartphone, tablet, PC) connected to the Internet. Which IP address this is, depends on how your device is connected. It may be the IP address assigned to you by your Internet provider, for example, if you are connected to the Internet via your W-LAN at home. However, it can also be an IP address assigned to you by your mobile phone provider, the IP address of a provider of a public or private W-LAN or other Internet access. In its most common form (IPv4), the IP address consists of four blocks of digits.
Private users generally do not use a constant IP address, but rather an IP address temporarily assigned to them by the provider ("dynamic IP address"). In principle, a permanently assigned IP address ("static IP address") makes it easier to identify the user. We do not make use of personal data obtained in such way, except for the purpose of legal action due to unauthorized access. It is kept in anonymized form on dedicated serves at Paulbergmann GmbH by shortening the last four blocks of the IPv6 address!
Our website already supports the new IPv6 addresses. If you use an IPv6 address, we would like to make you aware of the following: The IPv6 address consists of eight blocks of four. The first four blocks are, just like IPv4 address, typically assigned dynamically to private users. However, the last four blocks of an IPv6 address (so-called "interface identifiers") are determined by the device you use to browse the website.
Unless otherwise set in the operating system you use, the so-called MAC address is used for this purpose. The MAC address is a kind of serial number assigned uniquely to each IP-capable device worldwide.
Consequently, we do not store the last four blocks of your IPv6 address!
In general, we recommend to switch on the so-called "Privacy Extensions" on your end user device to anonymize the last four blocks of your IPv6 address. Many operating systems have a "Privacy Extensions" function, which may not be switched on by default, though.
Log-files become automatically eligible for disposal after a period of 30 days at the latest, as defined by internal processes.
The legal justification to process personal data is based on Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The regulation permits the processing of personal data as far as a "legitimate interest" of the controller exists, as long as the fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject or other interests do not override. The legitimate interest exists in ensuring Deutsche Bank’s IT security and IT operations in this particular case.

We also use cookies to remember how often you visit our web pages, how many users visit them and, for example, which web pages visitors go to most often and how long they linger.
