Privacy Policy

As the internet is a worldwide open system, data transmission through the internet generally cannot be considered 100% safe. In view of this situation, Stefanie Merenyi takes every reasonable effort to ensure a fair and sound data protection. Basically, I follow a concept of data minimisation, thus limiting the generation and storage of personal data to the extent that is crucial for my work. Moreover, I aim to fully comply with the respective data protection legislation (i.e. the European GDPR, the German BDSG, etc.).

With regard to the protection of your personal data, please regard the following

a) When visiting the website

When visiting the website merenyi.de, the browser on your device automatically sends information to the server of my website.My website is hosted by a third party platform (i.e. a processor in the meaning of Art. 28 GDPR). The data traffic between my website and my processor, according to the stipulations in Art. 28 and 29 GDPR, is governed by a contract. The corresponding server on this platform, without your intervention, records and temporarily stores the following information in a so-called log file, until it is automatically deleted:

  • IP address of the requesting computer

  • Name and URL of the retrieved file
  • Website from which access is made (referrer URL)
  • The browser used and the operating system of your computer as well as the name of your access provider
  • The type of the used device.

The data mentioned will further be processed by me for the following purposes:

  • Ensuring a smooth connection of the website,
  • Ensure comfortable use of my website,
  • Evaluation of system security and stability as well as
  • for other administrative purposes. Additionally, data processing by 1&1WebAnalytics is performed (for detailed information refer to 1&1WebAnalytics).

The legal basis for the data processing aforementioned is Art.6 s.1 sentence 1 f GDPR. My legitimate interest follows from the purposes listed above for data collection. Under no circumstances do I use the data collected for the purpose of drawing conclusions about you personally.

  • you have given your express consent pursuant to Art.6 s.1 sentence 1 a GDPR,
  • the disclosure pursuant to Art.6 s.1 sentence 1 f GDPR is necessary to assert, exercise or defend legal claims and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding interest worthy of protection in not disclosing your data,
  • in the event that a legal obligation exists for the transfer pursuant to Art.6 s.1 sentence 1 c GDPR, and
  • this is legally permissible and is necessary for the processing of contractual relationships with you in accordance with Art.6 s.1 sentence 1 b GDPR.

4. Plug-ins and Tools


Cookies

In accordance with the concept of data minimisation, the website merenyi.de does not implement any cookies of its own.

Google Web Fonts

The website merenyi.de uses so called Web Fonts, provided by Google (for further information see Google Fonts FAQ). With each call-up to one of the individual pages of my website, the needed Web Fonts are loaded into your browsercache by your browser. In doing so, your browser contacts Google’s servers and thus, Google gains knowledge of the fact that my website has been called via your IP address.

In case your browser does not support the use of Web Fonts, it will refer to one of your personal default type fonts. In case your default type fonts deviate substantially from the type fonts used on my website, my website may be presented to you in a significantly changed way. Potentially, you will no longer be able to watch my website correctly. Therefore, I use Google Web Fonts in order to ensure a consistent and user-friendly appearance of type faces and therewith of my complete website. Therewith, I act on the basis of legitimate interests pursuant to Art.6 s.1 sentence 1 f GDPR. For more information on Google Web Fonts see also in Google’s Privacy Policy.

Social Media: XING and LinkedIn

In addition to the information published on this website, Stefanie Merenyi provides further personal information, especially with regard to her career and professional development, using so called Social Media. These are two business networks, on the one hand the German network XING (the operating company of XING is XING SE, Dammtorstraße 30, 20354 Hamburg, Germany) and on the other hand the US American network LinkedIn (the operating company of LinkedIn is LinkedIn Corporation, 2029 Stierlin Court Mountain View, CA 94043, United States. For privacy matters outside of the United States LinkedIn Ireland, Privacy Policy Issues, Wilton Plaza, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland, is responsible).

Stefanie Merenyi has set up personal profiles in both of these networks, with XING providing detailed information on her business life exclusively in German language, while LinkedIn provides it partly in German and English, partly in English language, only.

On my profile two links are available which refer to Stefanie Merenyi’s personal profiles on XING and LinkedIn: the hyperlink symbol XING refers to the XING profile, the hyperlink symbol LinkedIn refers to the LinkedIn profile.

In accordance with the concept of data minimisation, these references were deliberately construed as simple links and not in the form of the otherwise usual Plug-ins. Therefore, these links only allow the call-up of the regarding network. The complete access to the profiles of Stefanie Merenyi, however, requires that the respective user on his part also has created a profile at the regarding network.

7. Data Security

When visiting the website merenyi.de, the popular SSL encryption (Secure Socket Layer) is used, combined with the highest encryption that is supported by your browser. The successfully encrypted transmission of an individual page of our website can be recognized by the closed padlock-icon in your browser’s lower status bar.

Additionally, I use further appropriate technical and organisational security measures aiming at the protection of your data against accidental or intentional manipulation, partial or total loss, destruction or against the unauthorized access of a third person. In line with the technological development, our security measures are continuously enhanced.

Due to further developments of my website, or due to changing legal or regulatory requirements, the amendment of this Privacy Policy can become necessary. Any such changes will be available and printable from this page. Unless otherwise stated, any amended version will be effective upon posting.
