Google Analytics and cookie bots
This website employs Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. (Google). Google Analytics uses ‘cookies’, text files stored on your computer to facilitate an analysis of your use of the website. As a rule, the information generated by the cookie regarding your use of the website is sent to a Google server in the USA and stored there. If IP anonymisation is activated, Google shortens the IP address for Member States of the European Union as well as for other parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be sent to, and shortened by, Google servers in the USA. On behalf of the website provider, Google uses this information for the purpose of evaluating your website usage, compiling reports on website activity for website operators, and to provide other services relating to website activity and internet usage to the website provider. Google will not associate your IP address with any other data stored by Google. You are entitled to refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings in your browser. However, if you do so, you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website. Google’s collection and use of data (including your IP address) can also be prevented by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.  

For more information, go to http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de or http://www.google.com/intl/de/analytics/privacyoverview.html (general information on Google Analytics and data protection). Please note that on this website, Google Analytics code is supplemented by “gat._anonymizeIp();” to ensure an anonymized collection of IP addresses (a.k.a. IP masking).

Alternatively, Google Analytics can be prevented from logging your activity by following this link: Deactivate Google Analytics! The use of an opt-out cookie ensures your data will not be logged on a later visit to this website.

The Google Analytics code installed on this website supports display ads for Google Analytics reports on performance according to demographic markers and interests.

Google Analytics for display ads can be deactivated via the task manager and ad settings can be changed in the Google display network.

Collection of additional data
We store the data you enter when registering for the newsletter (salutation, first name, surname, e-mail address etc.) and use them solely for the purpose of sending out newsletters. These data are not passed on to third parties. The newsletter regularly informs readers about all the latest issues concerning Seeon Abbey. The newsletter is sent in HTML format – without attachments. Each newsletter includes a link to the content management legal note and is sent from info@kloster-seeon.de. There is a link to the ‘unsubscribe’ page at the end of every newsletter. You are entitled to request the details we store about you at any time. For more information, please call us or send us an e-mail to info@kloster-seeon.de. Similarly, if you wish us to delete all the information we have about you, please call us or send us an e-mail. When you subscribe to the newsletter, we send a test e-mail to the address you provided and requesting you to confirm your subscription. This declares you explicitly approve of the receipt of the newsletter via e-mail. 

Online offerings
Kloster Seeon provides a range of interactive applications and forms. If there is no specific data protection statement, the provisions listed here shall apply. We explicitly inform you that in general data transfer via the internet cannot be guaranteed to be secure, and that data transferred may be seen or manipulated by unauthorised individuals if they were not subject to a safe encoding system.

Electronic post (e-mail)
Please note, data transfer via the internet is insecure, and data transferred may be seen or manipulated by unauthorised individuals if not subject to a safe encoding system. As do many other providers, we use SPAM filtres to remove unwanted advertising. Occasionally, such filtres sometimes incorrectly adjudge normal emails to be spam and automatically delete them as a consequence. E-mails that carry malignant programmes (viruses) are always deleted on detection. Hence, communication via e-mail cannot be guaranteed to be ‘legally safe and reliable’. For this reason, we advise you not to use e-mails to send confidential information to Kloster Seeon. We do not currently use an electronic encoding and signature system, so we cannot process e-mails encoded and signed using this technology at present. Please restrict documents that must be accepted in a written form to paper correspondence. This usually applies to documents requiring a signature.

Privacy policy Kloster Seeon
Kloster Seeon employees are bound to keep information provided confidential, and are obliged to adhere to the relevant legislative provisions of the laws of data protection.
