We process your personal data only for the purposes stated in this Privacy Policy. Your personal data will not be transferred to third parties for purposes other than those specified herein. We only disclose your personal data to third parties if:

Deletion and Blocking of Data
We adhere to the principles of data minimisation and storage limitation. We therefore store your personal data only for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes stated here or for the retention periods prescribed by law. Once the respective purpose no longer applies or the statutory retention period expires, the corresponding data will be blocked or deleted without undue delay in accordance with the applicable legal provisions.

Newsletter
Through the Kunsthalle Dortmund newsletter, we keep you informed about current exhibitions, events, and other activities.
If you would like to subscribe to the newsletter offered on our website, we require your email address and information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the email address provided and that you agree to receive the newsletter.

Use of Matomo (formerly Piwik)
This website uses the open-source web analytics service Matomo. Matomo uses cookies, which are text files stored on your device that enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is stored on our own server. Your IP address is anonymised before it is stored.
Matomo cookies remain on your device until you delete them.
The storage of Matomo cookies and the use of this analytics tool are based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analysing user behaviour anonymously in order to optimise both its website and its advertising. Where consent has been requested (e.g. for the storage of cookies), processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Article 6(1)(a) GDPR. Consent may be withdrawn at any time.
The information generated by the cookie regarding your use of this website is not shared with third parties.

When using Contao Consent, we process personal data and information relating to the device used. No data is transmitted to any third-party provider. Information about your consent preferences is stored locally on your device.
The legal basis for processing is Article 6(1)(c) GDPR in conjunction with Article 7(1) GDPR, insofar as processing is necessary to fulfil our legal obligation to document consent. Otherwise, the legal basis is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in storing user preferences regarding cookies and similar technologies.
After twelve months, you will be asked again to provide your consent. Your consent preferences will then be stored again for the same period unless you delete the corresponding information from your device beforehand.
You have the right to object to processing where it is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, provided your objection is based on grounds relating to your particular situation. You can also prevent processing by clearing your browser history and website data or by using your browser's private or incognito mode.
