inSyca has implemented a variety of technical and organizational measures in order to protect your personal data, in particular against random or intentional manipulation, loss, destruction and access by unauthorized persons. These security measures will be continually adapted in accordance with technological developments. The transfer of personal data between your computer and our server invariably takes place by encrypted connection (Secure Socket Layer (SSL)).

The data you provide when you register to receive our newsletter are used solely for that purpose. Subscribers can also receive e-mail updates concerning circumstances that are relevant to the service or the registration (for instance, changes to the newsletter offer or technical matters).

For the registration to be effective, we require a valid e-mail address. In order to verify that the registration is carried out by the owner of the e-mail address, we implement the double opt-in method. To this end, we log the order of the newsletter, the sending of a confirmation e-mail and receipt of the reply requested in that e-mail. No further data are collected. The data are used solely for the newsletter distribution and are not passed to any third party.

You can withdraw your consent at any time to the storage of your personal data and their use for newsletter distribution. Each newsletter contains a link which you can use for this purpose. In addition, you can also unsubscribe directly on this website at any time or send us your request to that effect using the contact details in this privacy policy.

When you contact us by e-mail or by using the contact form, the information provided by you is saved for the purpose of processing the enquiry and for possible follow-up questions.

Some new browsers use “Do not track” functions. If this is the case, our website may not respond to “Do not track” requests or may be unable to retrieve the headers of such browsers. To find out more about what your settings are and about whether you want to deny certain providers access to your information, please click here for the US, here for Canada, and here for Europe (please note that opting out will not mean that you are no longer displayed any advertising at all. Rather, you will still receive generic advertising).

Visits to our website may result in information being stored on your computer in the form of “Cookies”. Cookies are small text files that are copied from a web server onto your hard disk. Cookies contain information that can later be read by a web server within the domain in which the cookie was assigned to you. Cookies cannot execute any programmes or infect your computer with viruses. The cookies used by us neither contain personal data nor are they connected to any such data.

Most of the cookies used by us are so-called session cookies, which are required in order to maintain consistency during your visit, for example by ensuring that the preferences you entered as part of a registration for an event, as well as any other information entered, are remembered for the duration of your session. We also need session cookies in order to ensure that any offers (e.g., promotional offers) you click on are assigned to your request. Session cookies are automatically deleted after each session. We furthermore use cookies in order to determine, when you pay return visits to our website, whether you are interested in certain types of offers. This enables us to be more targeted about the offers we show you on our website. If you are already registered with us and have a customer account, it will be possible for us to compare the information recorded by the cookies used with the information known to us. This in turn enables us to tune our offers more finely to your needs and wishes. These cookies have a lifespan of one year, after which they are automatically deleted. We also need cookies for purposes of settling accounts with our advertising partners, because cookies are able to record the page or promotional campaign that led the customer to us. As with other data, we record this data exclusively in abstract form so as to ensure that it cannot be used to identify the data subject. A cookie of this type has a lifespan of 31 days.

You have the opportunity to accept or to reject cookies. Most web browsers accept cookies automatically. Generally, however, you will be able to adjust your browser settings so as to reject cookies. If you opt to reject cookies, you may find that you are unable to use some of the website’s functions. If you accept cookies, you can opt to delete such accepted cookies at a later point in time. You can delete cookies in Internet Explorer 8 by selecting “Tools” > “Delete Browsing History” and then clicking on the button “Delete Cookies”. If you delete the cookies, all settings controlled by these cookies, including advertising settings, will be deleted, possibly irrecoverably.
