The Museum may amend the Declaration unilaterally at any time. The most recent version is published online by the Museum.
Type of collected Personal Data
The Museum processes Personal Data about the User when they access the websites of the Museum or when they request or use products or services offered by it. On the one hand, the Museum processes Personal Data (e.g. name, gender, address, e-mail address, telephone or fax number) which the User provides via a website of the Museum, in particular when they register for a product or service or when they sign up for an e-mail newsletter. On the other hand, the webserver at the Museum automatically records details of the User's visit (e.g. IP address, originating website, pages viewed, date, time spent).
Web analysis
The Museum analyses how its websites are used with the help of third-party analysis tools, such as Google Analytics (hereinafter “Analysis Service Providers”). The Museum assumes no responsibility or liability for any data processed by Analysis Service Providers.

Google Analytics, a web-based analysis service by Google Inc. (hereinafter “Google”), uses cookies, which are saved on the User's computer. The information generated by the cookie concerning their visit is usually sent to and stored on a Google server in the USA. If the Museum activates IP anonymization for this website, Google shortens the User's IP address within Member States of the European Union or in other partner states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be sent to a Google server in the USA and anonymized there. Google evaluates the information that has been saved on behalf of Google for the purpose of compiling reports on the website's usage and in order to provide other associated services for the Museum. Google may combine the IP address transmitted from the User's browser by Google Analytics with other data that has been collected.
Detailed information on this can be found at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en and https://www.google.com/intl/en/analytics/privacyoverview.html (general information on Google Analytics and data protection).

Links
The websites of the Museum may contain hyperlinks to other websites which are not operated or monitored by the Museum. Third-party websites are not subject to this Declaration. The Museum is not responsible for their content or how they handle Personal Data.
Social media buttons
Functions (plugins) of third-party providers or social media platforms (Facebook, Twitter, Google+, etc.) are embedded into the websites of the Museum. These plugins enable the User to share content on the social networks mentioned. The interfaces are deactivated by default when the website is accessed. This means that no Personal Data is transmitted to the respective third-party providers without intervention on the part of the User. Once the User has activated the interfaces, data (incl. also Personal Data) is automatically transmitted to the relevant third-party providers by the plug-ins. If the User is simultaneously logged in to the network of the respective third-party provider when they visit the website, the third-party provider can assign the visit to the User's network account. The Museum has no influence on this. The purpose and scope of such a form of data collection and the further processing and usage of Personal Data are outlined in the data protection guidelines of the individual social networks. Users can also obtain information there on rights and settings options in relation to protecting their privacy.
