Legal basis

Unless otherwise stated below or elsewhere on this website (for example, in the case of applications), the legal basis for data processing on the website is Article 6 (1) (e) of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in conjunction with Section 5 (1) of the Brandenburg Data Protection Act. The operation of the website is necessary for the fulfilment of the tasks of the Ministry of Agriculture, Environment and Climate Protection in particular to inform the public and the state administration.

Zwecke der Verarbeitung und Speicherdauer

1. Provision of the website

In order to provide and guarantee the functionality of the website, we collect the following log data about accesses to the website and store them as web server log files:

• Visited page
• Date and time of access
• Amount of data sent in bytes
• Website from which you reached the page (referrer)
• Browser and operating system used (user agent)

We do not log IP addresses on the web server.
Storage period: 30 days

2.Usage statistics and improvement of the presentation (web analysis)

With your consent, we use the web analysis software Matomo to compile usage statistics and to improve the presentation of the website based on these statistics. We operate Matomo on our own servers. No data is transmitted to the Matomo provider or third parties.

For web analysis, we do not use Matomo with cookies, but in the variant with JavaScript fingerprinting. In this case, Matomo calculates a "fingerprint" from your device information transmitted when you call up the website (anonymised IP address, operating system, screen resolution, browser type, browser extensions, browser language) in order to distinguish between individual visitors and thus calls to the website.

The fingerprint is processed together with the following information to create pseudonymous user profiles:

• The above-mentioned device information, from which the fingerprint is also created.
• Approximate location of the user
• Date and time of access
• Visited subpages
• Loading time for subpages
• Website from which you reached the page (referrer)
• Dwell time on the website

The pseudonymous user profiles are combined into aggregated, i.e., non-user-related, evaluations, for example about which sub-pages are visited how often and with which devices. This allows us to measure how popular our pages are (usage statistics) and to improve the presentation of the website, for example for mobile devices.

To prevent profiling that is not necessary for these purposes, Matomo no longer recognises you as the same visitor after 30 minutes. In addition, Matomo anonymises the stored fingerprints after 24 hours and then generates new fingerprints using a random process.

Legal basis: Consent (Article 6 (1) (a) (GDPR)

If your browser indicates that you object to tracking via the Do-Not-Track standard, we do not record your visit. We therefore treat it as if you had not given your consent.

Storage duration: maximum 24 hours (storage ends with anonymisation)

Revocation of consent: You can revoke your consent to the processing of your personal data for web analysis at any time by mouse-click below. In this case, a revocation cookie will be stored in your browser, which means that Matomo will not recognise you. Please note that the complete deletion of your cookies in the browser means that the revocation cookie is also deleted and must be reactivated by you on a subsequent visit.

3. Contacting

When you contact us, we process your contact information (name, email address, telephone number) and the content of your enquiry in order to deal with your request.

We only store your data for as long as we need them to answer your enquiry. Depending on the subject of the enquiry, it may also be necessary to store it within the framework of the statutory periods or regulations on file storage in the state administration.

4. Cookies for the display of the website

We use the necessary cookies to display the website. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device when you visit the website. These cookies do not contain any personal data, but only technical information to enable the following functions:

• Session cookie: for displaying dynamic content. (storage period: until you close your browser)
• Colour change cookie: to save your colour selection. (storage time: 24 hours)
• Data protection cookies: to secure your consent or revocation. (storage period: 12 months)
• Shopping cart in browser memory (if available): to save your product selection. (storage period: 24 hours)

If we want to set cookies from third-party providers (for example by integrating video portals), this will only take place after your separate consent in the respective case.

Please note that the complete deletion of your cookies in the browser means that all cookies mentioned here will also be deleted.

5. Further data processing by the ZIT-BB

For this and other websites of the State of Brandenburg, ZIT-BB also processes other personal data on its own responsibility.

5.1 Provision of the website

In order to provide and guarantee the functionality of the IT infrastructure of the state administration - and thus also of this website - ZIT-BB collects the following log data on its firewall about accesses to the website, which it stores as server log files:

• (Your) sender IP address
• Destination IP address (of the web server)
• Service/port (e.g., https/443)
• Date and time of access
• Connection time

Storage period: deletion takes place on a rolling basis after approx. 7 days

5.2 Defence against threats to the security of the country's information technology

In order to avert threats to the security of the state administration's information technology, the computer security incident and response team (CERT) at ZIT-BB collects the aforementioned log data and evaluates it automatically and in pseudonymised form.

Legal basis: Article 16 (3) Brandenburg E-Government Act (BbgEGovG)

Storage period: If a suspicion of a threat to the security of the state's information technology arises during automated processing, the corresponding log data is not deleted after approx. 7 days as previously mentioned, but can be stored for a maximum of 3 months in accordance with Article 16 (4) BbgEGovG.
