We take data protection very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (DSGVO), other legal regulations and this data protection declaration.
The European network Back-on-Track Europe (“we”), represented by its Danish Member Rådet for Bæredygtig Trafik, is responsible for the operation of the website www.back-on-track.eu (“websites”). The use of our websites is generally possible without providing personal data (information that is linked to your person). Insofar as personal data is collected on our websites, this is done in order to provide requested services. By using the website and entering personal data, you consent to the collection and use of data in accordance with this statement. As a matter of principle, this data will not be passed on to third parties unless this is absolutely necessary for the declared purpose. In this case, we will obtain your consent to the disclosure beforehand.
Server log files
Your browser automatically transmits information to our website with every access: The version of your browser program, your operating system used, the (complete) IP address of your accessing device, the time of the request, the URL of the requested file or page, if applicable the page from which you reached us via a link (referrer URL) and the result of the request (HTTP status code). We store this data in so-called server log files. We are not able to assign this data to individuals without further ado. Only if you enter personal data in forms with us (see below) could we subsequently assign your IP addresses (e.g. in the event of abuse). We do not pass on this data, nor do we combine it with other data sources.
We need this data in order to be able to analyse errors retrospectively, if necessary, or to prosecute unlawful use. This interest justifies the storage of the IP address, which we cannot easily personalise. For this purpose, we store server log files for 180 days.Use of cookiesOur Internet pages use cookies.

Usage analysis
This website uses the open source web analytics service Matomo. Matomo enables us to evaluate user movements on back-on-track.eu in a privacy-friendly manner for the purpose of improving our services. Matomo does not set cookies on the user’s computer. The analysis is carried out with the help of pseudonymised IP addresses in combination with a server-side parameter. This so-called config_id is used by Matomo to group different actions in visits during a short window of up to 24 hours. Due to these requirements, visits and individual page views on our pages can be recorded, but conclusions about the identity of individual users are not possible. Personal data is not collected.
For this website, the collection of your page visits can be prevented by using the following opt-out option. Please note that when you activate this option, a technically necessary cookie is stored on your system which prevents Matomo from storing usage data. If you delete your cookies, the Matomo opt-out cookie will also be deleted. The opt-out must then be reactivated when you visit our site again.
You may choose to prevent this website from aggregating and analyzing the actions you take here. Doing so will protect your privacy, but will also prevent the owner from learning from your actions and creating a better experience for you and other users.

Data security
We would like to point out that data transmission on the Internet can have security gaps. Absolute protection of data against access by third parties is therefore technically not possible. However, we protect your data as good as we can. This site uses SSL encryption to protect the transmission of confidential content (such as data you send to us via forms). You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser line. If SSL encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read or changed by third parties during transmission.
Our forms do not forward security-relevant information like IBAN-numbers (e.g. in membership forms), these are diretly transmitted to our customer-relationship-mamagement (CRM) system.
Customer-Relationship-Management System: For managing contact data and for sending bulk e-mail we use the services of Brevo (f.k.a. Sendinblue), with whom our German Member Back-on-Track Germany e.V. , which is its main user, signed a Data Processing Agreement:
SENDINBLUE – 106 boulevard Haussmann, 75008 PARIS, FRANCE

The Hosting Heroes – 188 Liscard Road, WALLASEY/MERSEYSIDE, CH44 5TN, UNITED KINGDOM
Our service provider does not have regular access to the rented server.

Contact forms / enquiries: If you send us enquiries via the contact form, we assume that you agree to us storing your form entries for the purpose of processing your enquiry and in case of follow-up questions.

Orders forms/ Subscriptions: We additionally store personal data in our CRM, if the nature of the request demands to receive information at a later point, e.g. when ordering a newsletter , subscribing to a press distribution list or when ordering a publication that is regularly reprinted in order to be up to date (e.g. our night train poster). Since orders must be kept for up to 10 years for legal reasons, we do not normally delete this data until after this period.
Newletter tracking: Neither we nor our service provider will pass this data on to third parties. Our newsletter may contain a code that allows us to count how often the newsletter has been opened and which links have been clicked. We use this information to optimise the content of the newsletter. This information is aggregated and not stored with your personal data.
