Privacy Policy

The Center for AI and Digital Policy does not collect personal data to provide information online. We do not use Google Analytics. We do not use cookies. We do not track you. We do not ask you to pick out the pictures with bridges. Or boats. Or cars. We provide information, freely available to whoever is interested, without asking for personal data in exchange. Because that is how the Internet should be. And that is our Privacy Policy.

Website Analytics (Jimdo Statistics)

When you visit our website, we collect information about your usage through a web analytics tool provided by our hosting service. This tool collects and combines your IP address and user agent, shortens it and stores this data using a hash function. This process creates a visitor identifier that is encrypted with a randomly generated value (SALT) that changes every 24 hours. This method ensures that your IP address cannot be reconstructed from the stored visitor identifier, thus maintaining your anonymity. In addition, we do not merge this information with any other data and it is stored only on the hosting provider's server.

We also process web analytics data, HTTP data and web analytics profile data. The web analytics tool we use creates and stores a web analytics profile, which includes details about your use of the website, such as page views, visit frequency, time spent on each page, and the user agent of your device. This includes usage data (such as web pages visited and access times) and communication data (such as browser type, operating system and IP addresses).

Our purpose in processing this data is to analyse user behaviour in aggregate form in order to improve the presentation and content of our website. The legal basis for this processing is our legitimate interest (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. (f) GDPR), in particular in carrying out web measurements in order to improve our products and website.

The data collected is shared with our website hosting provider and processed within the EU.
