Data Protection

- Privacy Policy -

The Invest in Bavaria unit in the Bavarian Ministry of Economic Affairs, Infrastructure, Transport and Technology attaches great importance to maintaining the data protection of citizens and safeguarding telecommunications secrecy.
We have taken technical and organizational measures to ensure that the provisions on data protection are observed both by ourselves and by external service providers.
Our online site contains links to other websites. We have no way of influencing whether their operators comply with the data protection provisions.

Access Data

Whenever you access our Internet site, protocol journals reporting on your access are generally saved on our servers, which may permit your identification. The data in question can be the IP address of your computer or of the proxy server, if you use one to access our site, the page from which the file was requested, the name of the requested file, the date, time and duration of the request, the volume of data transmitted, the browser you used for the purpose of access and the access status (e.g. file transmitted, file not found).
These saved data are evaluated for statistical purposes only.

Use and Retransmission of Personal Data and Intended Purpose

We use your personal data (including the access data) for the purpose of technical administration of the websites and for processing orders of brochures only on the scale required in each specific case. You may rest assured that your data will be used solely for the purpose designated.
Any acquisition of personal data or transmission of the same to governmental institutions or agencies will be carried out only within the framework of binding national legislation.
None of your data will be transmitted to private third parties unless explicitly approved by you. Our staff are bound to secrecy and to compliance with the pertinent statutory provisions under data protection law.

E-mail

If you send us an e-mail, your e-mail address will be used solely for the purpose of corresponding with you.
Unfortunately, we are unable to process encrypted e-mails.

Placing Orders over the Internet

We can offer you the option of ordering publications online free of charge. Where necessary for the purpose of processing your order, we shall collect and process your personal data (from a pool of available personal data). Except in such cases as may be permitted by law, there will be no other utilization or transmission of your available personal data.

Active Components

In providing this Internet site, we do not generally use any cookies, Java applets, active-X controls or other technologies intended to trace users’ access behavior. The only time a cookie is used to store data temporarily in a cache memory is for the ordering of brochures via the browser for the duration of the ordering process.

It may become necessary to make amendments to this Data Protection Declaration, in order to keep abreast of developments in the Internet. You will be notified of any changes on this page in good time.
