However, we cannot assume any liability for the up-to-dateness, completeness or accuracy of any of the pages.\n\n \n\nPursuant to section 7, para. 1 of the TMG (Telemediengesetz \u2013 Tele Media Act by German law), we as service providers are liable for our own content on these pages in accordance with general laws. However, pursuant to sections 8 to 10 of the TMG, we as service providers are not under obligation to monitor external information provided or stored on our website. Once we have become aware of a specific infringement of the law, we will immediately remove the content in question. Any liability concerning this matter can only be assumed from the point in time at which the infringement becomes known to us.\n\n \n<h3>Limitation of liability for external links<\/h3>\n \n\nOur website contains links to the websites of third parties (\u201cexternal links\u201d). As the content of these websites is not under our control, we cannot assume any liability for such external content. In all cases, the provider of information of the linked websites is liable for the content and accuracy of the information provided. At the point in time when the links were placed, no infringements of the law were recognisable to us. As soon as an infringement of the law becomes known to us, we will immediately remove the link in question.\n\n \n<h3>Copyright<\/h3>\n \n\nThe content and works published on this website are governed by the copyright laws of Germany. Any duplication, processing, distribution or any form of utilisation beyond the scope of copyright law shall require the prior written consent of the author or authors in question.\n\n \n\nIt is of outmost importance for us to protect the personal data of our clients. The following regulatory document, based on the statutory obligation of the GDPR, determines how personal data is processed by the Institute. It is directed at our existing and former clients, prospects and potential future clients, as well as their respective shareholders, governing bodies and other employees.\n\n \n<h3>Purpose of data processing<\/h3>\n \n<ul>\n \t<li>Establishing, administrating and executing business relationships.<\/li>\n \t<li>Strengthening or developing new client relationships, including the information about our offers (marketing).<\/li>\n \t<li>Complying with our contractual relationships.<\/li>\n \t<li>Bookkeeping, accounting and preparing financial statements.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n \n\nAcquiring personal data is always on a voluntary basis, however, if we are denied the access to the participant\u2019s information, we shall not be able to perform our activities.\n\n \n<h3>Lawfulness of processing<\/h3>\n \n\nOnce a contract has been concluded, the processing of the participant\u2019s personal data is required in order to fulfill the contract (Article 6 (1) lit. a GDPR).\n\n \n<h3>SSL or TLS encryption<\/h3>\n \n\nThis site uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and for the protection of the transmission of confidential content, such as the inquiries you send to us as the site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection in your browser\u2019s address line when it changes from \u201chttp:\/\/\u201d to \u201chttps:\/\/\u201d and the lock icon is displayed in your browser\u2019s address bar.\nIf SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transfer to us cannot be read by third parties.\n\n \n<h3>Transmission of personal data<\/h3>\n \n\nIn the event that data transmission is necessary for the purposes stated under article 1, we might forward personal data to the following recipients outside IKI Institute:\n\n \n<ul>\n \t<li>Entities promoting or paying for language courses, such as \u00d6IF, AMS, WAFF or Employers.<\/li>\n \t<li>Teachers and trainers of the courses offered and carried out at IKI Institute.<\/li>\n \t<li>Any IT service providers we use.<\/li>\n \t<li>Other administrative authorities, if we are legally or contractually obliged to do so.<\/li>\n \t<li>Cooperation partners, legal representatives and tax advisors working for us as well as our respective auditors.<\/li>\n \t<li>Other recipients determined by participants.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n \n<h3>Storage of data<\/h3>\n \n\nPersonal data is stored until the termination of the contractual relationship from which we have collected the data or until expiration of the applicable statutory limitation and retention periods. In addition, until the termination of any legal disputes in which the data could be required as evidence.\n\n \n<h3>Data protection rights<\/h3>\n \n\nParticipants may, among other things,\n\n \n<ul>\n \t<li>verify whether and which personal information are processed about them and obtain copies of such data<\/li>\n \t<li>request the correction, addition, or deletion of their personal data, as far as they are incorrect or non-compliant<\/li>\n \t<li>require to restrict the processing of their personal data,<\/li>\n \t<li>in certain circumstances, oppose the processing of their personal data or revoke the prior consent for processing, without any revocation prior to the processing of their personal data<\/li>\n \t<li>know the identity of third parties to whom their personal data are transmitted, and<\/li>\n \t<li>file a complaint with the Data Protection Authority.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n \n<h2>Data Collection on our Website<\/h2>\n \n<h3>Cookies<\/h3>\n \n\nSome of our web pages use cookies. Cookies do not harm your computer and do not contain any viruses. Cookies help make our website more user-friendly, efficient, and secure. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and saved by your browser.\n\n \n\nMost of the cookies we use are so-called \u201csession cookies.\u201d They are automatically deleted after your visit. Other cookies remain in your device\u2019s memory until you delete them. These cookies make it possible to recognize your browser when you next visit the site.\n\n \n\nYou can configure your browser to inform you about the use of cookies so that you can decide on a case-by-case basis whether to accept or reject a cookie. Alternatively, your browser can be configured to automatically accept cookies under certain conditions or to always reject them, or to automatically delete cookies when closing your browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.\n\n \n\nCookies which are necessary to allow electronic communications or to provide certain functions you wish to use (such as the shopping cart) are stored pursuant to Art. 6 paragraph 1, letter f of DSGVO. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the storage of cookies to ensure an optimized service provided free of technical errors. If other cookies (such as those used to analyze your surfing behavior) are also stored, they will be treated separately in this privacy policy.\n\n \n<h3>Server log files<\/h3>\n \n\nThe website provider automatically collects and stores information that your browser automatically transmits to us in \u201cserver log files\u201d. These are:\n\n \n<ul>\n \t<li>Browser type and browser version<\/li>\n \t<li>Operating system used<\/li>\n \t<li>Referrer URL<\/li>\n \t<li>Host name of the accessing computer<\/li>\n \t<li>Time of the server request<\/li>\n \t<li>IP address<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n \n\nThese data will not be combined with data from other sources.\nThe basis for data processing is Art. 6 (1) (f) DSGVO, which allows the processing of data to fulfill a contract or for measures preliminary to a contract.\n\n \n<h3>Contact form<\/h3>\n \n\nShould you send us questions via the contact form, we will collect the data entered on the form, including the contact details you provide, to answer your question and any follow-up questions. We do not share this information without your permission.\n\n \n\nWe will, therefore, process any data you enter onto the contact form only with your consent per Art. 6 (1)(a) DSGVO. You may revoke your consent at any time. An informal email making this request is sufficient. The data processed before we receive your request may still be legally processed.\n\n \n\nWe will retain the data you provide on the contact form until you request its deletion, revoke your consent for its storage, or the purpose for its storage no longer pertains (e.g. after fulfilling your request). Any mandatory statutory provisions, especially those regarding mandatory data retention periods, remain unaffected by this provision.\n\n \n<h2>Analytics and Advertising<\/h2>\n \n<h3>Google Analytics<\/h3>\n \n\nThis website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service. It is operated by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.\nGoogle Analytics uses so-called \u201ccookies\u201d. These are text files that are stored on your computer and that allow an analysis of the use of the website by you. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.\n\n \n\nGoogle Analytics cookies are stored based on Art. 6 (1) (f) DSGVO. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior to optimize both its website and its advertising.\n\n \n<h3>IP anonymization<\/h3>\n \n\nWe have activated the IP anonymization feature on this website. Your IP address will be shortened by Google within the European Union or other parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area prior to transmission to the United States. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address sent to a Google server in the US and shortened there. Google will use this information on behalf of the operator of this website to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity, and to provide other services regarding website activity and Internet usage for the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with any other data held by Google.\n\n \n<h3>Browser plugin<\/h3>\n \n\nYou can prevent these cookies being stored by selecting the appropriate settings in your browser. However, we wish to point out that doing so may mean you will not be able to enjoy the full functionality of this website. You can also prevent the data generated by cookies about your use of the website (incl. your IP address) from being passed to Google, and the processing of these data by Google, by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: https:\/\/tools.google.com\/dlpage\/gaoptout?hl=en.\n\n \n<h3>Demographic data collection by Google Analytics<\/h3>\n \n\nThis website uses Google Analytics\u2019 demographic features. This allows reports to be generated containing statements about the age, gender, and interests of site visitors. This data comes from interest-based advertising from Google and third-party visitor data. This collected data cannot be attributed to any specific individual person. You can disable this feature at any time by adjusting the ads settings in your Google account or you can forbid the collection of your data by Google Analytics as described in the section \u201cRefusal of data collection\u201d.\n\n \n<h3>Google AdWords and Google Conversion Tracking<\/h3>\n \n\nThis website uses Google AdWords. AdWords is an online advertising program from Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, United States (\u201cGoogle\u201d).\n\n \n\nAs part of Google AdWords, we use so-called conversion tracking. When you click on an ad served by Google, a conversion tracking cookie is set. Cookies are small text files that your internet browser stores on your computer. These cookies expire after 30 days and are not used for personal identification of the user. Should the user visit certain pages of the website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and the website can tell that the user clicked on the ad and proceeded to that page.\n\n \n\nEach Google AdWords advertiser has a different cookie. Thus, cookies cannot be tracked using the website of an AdWords advertiser. The information obtained using the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for the AdWords advertisers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers are told the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a conversion tracking tag page. However, advertisers do not obtain any information that can be used to personally identify users. If you do not want to participate in tracking, you can opt-out of this by easily disabling the Google Conversion Tracking cookie by changing your browser settings. In doing so, you will not be included in the conversion tracking statistics.\n\n \n\nConversion cookies are stored based on Art. 6 (1) (f) DSGVO. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior to optimize both its website and its advertising.\n\n \n\nFor more information about Google AdWords and Google Conversion Tracking, see the Google Privacy Policy: https:\/\/www.google.de\/policies\/privacy\/.\n\n \n\nYou can configure your browser to inform you about the use of cookies so that you can decide on a case-by-case basis whether to accept or reject a cookie. Alternatively, your browser can be configured to automatically accept cookies under certain conditions or to always reject them, or to automatically delete cookies when closing your browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.\n\n \n<h2>Plugins and Tools<\/h2>\n \n<h3>YouTube<\/h3>\n \n\nOur website uses plugins from YouTube, which is operated by Google. The operator of the pages is YouTube LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA.\n\n \n\nIf you visit one of our pages featuring a YouTube plugin, a connection to the YouTube servers is established. Here the YouTube server is informed about which of our pages you have visited.\n\n \n\nIf you\u2019re logged in to your YouTube account, YouTube allows you to associate your browsing behavior directly with your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.\n\n \n\nYouTube is used to help make our website appealing. This constitutes a justified interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) DSGVO.\n\n \n\nFurther information about handling user data, can be found in the data protection declaration of YouTube under https:\/\/www.google.de\/intl\/de\/policies\/privacy.\n\n \n<h3>Google Web Fonts<\/h3>\n \n\nFor uniform representation of fonts, this page uses web fonts provided by Google. When you open a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into your browser cache to display texts and fonts correctly.\nFor this purpose your browser has to establish a direct connection to Google servers. Google thus becomes aware that our web page was accessed via your IP address. The use of Google Web fonts is done in the interest of a uniform and attractive presentation of our website. This constitutes a justified interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) DSGVO.\n\n \n\nIf your browser does not support web fonts, a standard font is used by your computer.\n\n \n\nFurther information about handling user data, can be found at https:\/\/developers.google.com\/fonts\/faq and in Google\u2019s privacy policy at https:\/\/www.google.com\/policies\/privacy\/.\n\n \n<h3>Google Maps<\/h3>\n \n\nThis site uses the Google Maps map service via an API. It is operated by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.\n\n \n\nTo use Google Maps, it is necessary to save your IP address. This information is generally transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. The provider of this site has no influence on this data transfer.\n\n \n\nThe use of Google Maps is in the interest of making our website appealing and to facilitate the location of places specified by us on the website. This constitutes a justified interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) DSGVO.\n\n \n\nFurther information about handling user data, can be found in the data protection declaration of Google at https:\/\/www.google.de\/intl\/de\/policies\/privacy\/.\n\n \n<h2>Our contact information<\/h2>\n \n\nInternationales Kulturinstitut Wien\nRegistration Number: 680298291\nOpernring 7\/21, 1010 Vienna\nPhone: <a href=\"tel:+4315867321\">+43 1 586 73 21<\/a>\nEmail: <a href=\"mailto:office@ikivienna.at\">office@ikivienna.at<\/a>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Collection and Use of Personal Information Limitation of liability for internal content The content of our website has been compiled with meticulous care and to the best of our knowledge.
