Privacy Policy

This privacy policy provides you with information about the protection of your personal data when using the web app MaSeM of the Institute for Occupational Safety and Health of the German Social Accident Insurance Institution (IFA).

The app can be used to determine the incentive for defeating protective devices of machin-ery. To find out the potential benefits for the machine operator, the user creates a record of the machine, its operating modes and protective devices as well as the activities carried out on it.

The app is available to all registered users of the website of the Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (IFA) at the URL masem.ifa.dguv.de.

We want you to know when we collect which data and for what purpose we use them. We have taken technical and organisational precautions to ensure our compliance with data pro-tection requirements.

3 Server log files

When you use the app, we collect certain data via our server and save them to a so-called server log file.

The data we collect are operational details, such as activation of an endpoint and information about errors, e.g. error messages and stack traces.

Such data are only used for operational analysis and troubleshooting purposes. Data collected via server logs are not used to identify data subjects. Neither of these data are merged with other data sources.

The legal basis for such data processing is GDPR, article 6 (1) point f. Our legitimate interests are based on the possibilities offered by log files for the maintenance and error correction of our IT systems.

4 Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored by your web browser on your device.

Some of the cookies we use are only stored for the duration of a session and are then auto-matically deleted (so-called session cookies). Others remain in your browser for longer and are deleted after a certain period of time (so-called persistent cookies). You can also delete stored cookies in your browser or prevent the storage of such cookies by making appropriate browser settings.

This system sets a cookie to indicate your acceptance of our Terms and Conditions of Use. This cookie is not processed by the server, but only by the client. It does not store any data that can identify you as a user. However, it ensures that once you have agreed to our Terms and Conditions of Use, you do not need to do so again.

Another cookie specifies the language you have selected. This cookie is not processed by the server, but only by the client. It saves the currently selected language code and ensures that the set language is automatically selected next time you access the same website.

A number of session cookies are used to identify you as a user during interaction with the server.

Data processing takes place on the legal basis of GDPR, article 6 (1) point f. Our justified interest is the optimisation of our app.

5 Tracking

Regarding the web application the IFA does not carry out any tracking, and neither does it measure its reach.

6 Registration

The app can only be used by registered users. To register, click or tap the registration button on the website.

During registration, we store the following personal data:

  • First name and surname
  • Email address
  • Password

Passwords are not stored in plain text, but as hash values.

Once you have registered, you will receive a confirmation email at the email address you specified. Please reply to this email, to confirm your registration. In this way, we can ensure that registration was actually carried out by you as the owner of the email address (so-called double opt-in).

User data cannot be managed by users.

The legal basis for such data processing is GDPR, article 6 (1) point f. We only use your data for the creation of a personal account and to enable you to use our app.

7 Contact options

Our website provides you with options to contact us. If you have any questions, please email us via the contact function. You can also use our details specified in the Legal Notice, send us a letter in the post or talk to us on the phone.

The legal basis for such data processing is GDPR article 6 (1), point a, as you have given us your details voluntarily, thus consenting to processing. We will store your data in a processing system until we have answered your enquiry or request, whereupon we will delete them if they are no longer required.

8 Retention period

Your personal data will be saved for as long as your user account is in existence.

Once a user account has been successfully deleted, all personal data are removed.
