We welcome you on your visit to our website and look forward to your interest in the Sto Foundation. So that you have a secure feeling with regard to the handling of your personal data with us during this visit, we would like to take the opportunity to show you what happens to the data and which security measures are taken on our part. Furthermore, we will inform you about your statutory rights in connection with the processing of this data.

 

Personal data

 

When you visit our website, information is only recorded about the name of your internet service provider and the websites that you visit on our website. We evaluate this information purely for statistical purposes (e.g. number of calls for the individual web pages). You remain anonymous as an Internet user.

 

As a rule, we do not collect any personal data when you use our website. These are only collected if you provide them to us of your own accord, for example as part of the apprenticeship placement exchange. This data is currently being transmitted unencrypted. For this reason, it cannot be ruled out that unauthorized third parties will also read this data while it is being transmitted.

 

Google Analytics

 

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service from Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheater Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA). Google Analytics uses so-called cookies, text files that are stored on your computer and that enable your use of the website to be analyzed. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. If IP anonymization is activated on this website, your IP address will be shortened beforehand by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area.

The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide the website operator with other services relating to website activity and internet usage. Our legitimate interest in data processing also lies in these purposes. The legal basis for the use of Google Analytics is Article 6 Paragraph 1 lit.f GDPR.
