In short
This website sets no cookies for visitors and uses no advertising and no forms. To count visits we use the cookieless analytics service Plausible Analytics, which stores no personal data (see below). Fonts are served from our own server, not from Google. External services (such as LinkedIn, YouTube or publishers' websites) are reached through links only; no data goes to them unless you click such a link.
Hosting and delivery of the website
The website is operated by BunnyWay d.o.o. (bunny.net), Cesta komandanta Staneta 4A, 1215 Medvode, Slovenia, and delivered through its content delivery network; the server and media storage are located in Frankfurt am Main. Each page request makes the server process technically necessary data: IP address, date and time, the address requested, the amount of data transferred, the referrer, and browser and operating system. These data serve only the secure and stable delivery of the website and the defence against attacks; the legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. A data processing agreement under Art. 28 GDPR is in place with the provider. Log data are kept only briefly and then deleted.
Audience measurement with Plausible Analytics
To understand how our website is used, we use Plausible Analytics, provided by Plausible Insights OÜ, Västriku tn 2, 50403 Tartu, Estonia; the data are processed on servers in the European Union (Germany). When a page is called up, your browser loads a small script from plausible.io and sends the address of the page, the referrer, browser, operating system, device type and country derived from the IP address. Plausible sets no cookies and stores nothing on your device. The IP address and browser information are used only to form a daily changing, non-reversible identifier so that visitors can be counted; the IP address itself is not stored, and the identifier is deleted after 24 hours. We only see aggregated statistics; individual visitors cannot be identified or followed across websites. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in a needs-based design of our website (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). A data processing agreement under Art. 28 GDPR is in place with Plausible. You can object at any time (Art. 21 GDPR), for example by blocking scripts from plausible.io in your browser.
Cookies
The website sets no cookies for visitors. Only editors who sign in to the protected administration area receive a technically necessary session cookie (§ 25(2) TDDDG).
Contact by e-mail
If you write to us by e-mail, we process your details to answer your enquiry (Art. 6(1)(b) or (f) GDPR). We delete the data once they are no longer needed for this purpose and no statutory retention period applies.
Links to other services
Our pages link to LinkedIn (the institute's profile and "Share on LinkedIn"), YouTube (recordings) and to publishers' and partners' websites. These are plain links without embedded content. Only when you click a link does the respective provider process your data under its own privacy policy.

You have the right of access (Art. 15 GDPR), rectification (Art. 16), erasure (Art. 17), restriction of processing (Art. 18), data portability (Art. 20) and to object to processing based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (Art. 21).
