We collect and use only such data during your visit to our website, which your web browser transfers automatically to us:
The date and time of accessing one of our web pages
Your browser type

We use this data to technically enable you to visit our page. Furthermore, we use this data for statistical purposes to improve the design and layout of our web pages. We save the IP address to ensure and maintain IT security (e.g. identifying and resisting so-called DOS attacks) and the functionality.

Insofar the option to enter personal or business data (email addresses, name, address, telephone numbers) exists within the internet offer, the user provides this information expressly on a voluntary basis for the purpose for which the data was provided. This can be related to the following areas:

3.4 Collection, processing and use of personal data in relation to our newsletter

Our website offers you the option to register for our newsletter. We collect and use your email address for this purpose. Other data is not collected in relation to the newsletter. Your email address is not visible to other recipients of the newsletter.

The dispatch of the newsletter as well as the data treatment associated with it are based only on your consent. You can withdraw it at any time. A link therefore is provided in the newsletter for this purpose or you can write us an e-mail at marketing@ruhrtriennale.de.

We use the MailChimp service to send our newsletters. This is an offering of the The Rocket Science Group, LLC, 512 Means Street, Suite 404, Atlanta, GA 30318. On registering for our newsletter, the data provided during the registration is transferred to MailChimp and saved there. After the registration, MailChimp sends you an email to confirm your registration (“Double-Opt-In”). MailChimp offers us various analytical tools, especially the possibility of tracking the links clicked in a newsletter and the creation of segments based on click behaviour. These analyses are however group-related and we do not use them for individual analysis. MailChimp also uses the analysis tool Google Analytics from Google Inc. (“Google”) and integrates it in the newsletter under certain circumstances. More details on Google Analytics are available in this data protection declaration under “3.6.1. Google Analytics”.

More information on the data protection at MailChimp is available at:

Email addresses that we collect when you buy tickets from our webshop or when you register for our newsletter are used here under certain circumstances. We transfer a list of corresponding email addresses to Google in this process, and the list is stored there and anonymised. Then the list is compared with the email addresses that are registered with Google Services (e.g. Gmail, YouTube, etc.). If there are matches, the owners of the matching addresses might receive our special advertisements on further use of Google Services. The data is deleted seven days after the reconciliation.
