The Lower Saxony portal features not only content which is to be considered as a telecommunications service as defined by § 2 of the Teledienstgesetz (TDG - Telecommunications Services Act), but also content which is to be considered as a media service as defined by § 2 Mediendienste-Staatsvertrag (MDStV - Media Services Inter-State Agreement). In both cases, the following procedural principles are assured:
- In the case of each access by a user to a page from the content of the Lower Saxony portal and for each retrieval of a file, data relating to that process are saved in a journal file. These data are not personal data; that is to say, we cannot trace which user has accessed which data. These journal data are archived for two months and are only evaluated for statistical purposes.
- One exception to this is found within the Internet services offered where personal or business data are entered (e-mail address, name, postal address) for the execution of such services. Here, the provision of such data by users is expressly voluntary. The utilization of or payment for all services offered can be carried out - insofar as this is technically possible and reasonable - even without divulging such details or using anonymized data or a pseudonym.
- You are able to use all generally accessible pages without cookies being installed. Only in the case of retrieval of pages for which registration is necessary is a session cookie installed which records the identity of the browser session on your computer and which is deleted from your computer after the end of the browser session. This information is no longer available in later browser sessions. It cannot be used to trace the user.
