Registered users are authorised to use the

Personal data
We take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your
personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data
protection regulations and this privacy policy.
The use of our website is initially possible without providing personal data.
For the use of the academy learning platform ILIAS, the participant needs to
register once only. The account registration is carried out using the double
opt-in procedure. After you have filled in your personal data and you have
accepted the user agreement including the privacy policy and terms of use, you
must click the "Register" button. An e-mail with a confirmation link,
is sent to your e-mail address. After having clinked the confirmation link, the
account is activated and the platform and its content can be used free of
charge and unlimited.
Personal information is collected and used for participation in and completion
of a course and for issuing a certificate. When using the KROHNE Academy
online, personal data is stored. The data that is stored in the system is
managed by the administrator and by KROHNE. Details will not be disclosed to
third parties unless the user registers for a course that was jointly developed
with our partners (Example: Course "Functional Safety (SIL)"). In
this instance, data can be provided, but exclusively to these partners e.g. for
a better classification and for processing of requests.
This concerns also information requests regarding the courses contents. In this
case, personal data as well as the course status of a participant, might be
transferred inside the KROHNE organisation for clarification. Furthermore,
KROHNE reserves the right to contact registered participants for the exchange
of experiences as well as for additional information about completed courses.
The personal data of a user is stored in the system, until the user decides to
cancel the free of charge membership either
- By deleting the account directly on
the platform in the personal settings or
- By sending an e-mail to academy-online@krohne.com
Furthermore, an
automatic deletion of a user account takes place, in case the user was not
logged into the platform for two years. Before the user deletion takes place
however, the user will be notified and reminded automatically two times: the
first time four weeks ahead the day of deletion, the second time, on the day
when the deletion will take place. Please note that the user data including all
course results is then irrevocably deleted.
Cookies
The internet pages partly use so-called cookies. Cookies do not harm your
computer and do not contain viruses. Cookies serve to make our offer more
user-friendly, effective and secure. Cookies are small text files that are
stored on your computer and stored by your browser. Most of the cookies we use
are so-called "session cookies". They are automatically deleted after
your visit. Other cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them.
These cookies allow us to recognize your browser the next time you visit our
website. You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of
cookies and allow cookies only in individual cases, the acceptance of cookies
for certain cases or generally exclude and enable the automatic deletion of
cookies when closing the browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality

Server log-files
The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in
so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us.
These are:
- Browser type and browser version
- Used operating system
- Referrer URL
- Host name of the accessing computer

These data can not
be assigned to specific persons. A merge of this data with other data sources

Advertising and conversion cookies
Advertising and conversion cookies are used to make on other sites outside our
offer advertising more relevant for you, e.g. based on your interests. Also,
this prevents that the same advertisements are displayed again to you. With
these cookies, we can also measure the effectiveness of our advertising
campaigns based on anonymous and pseudonymous user profiles and understand how
users interact with our advertisements and what actions the users have
implemented after interacting with the respective advertising material
(so-called "conversion"):
- This website uses Google AdWords.
AdWords is an online advertising program of Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater
Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, United States ("Google"). As
part of Google AdWords, we use the so-called conversion tracking. When you
click on an ad served by Google, a conversion tracking cookie is set.
Cookies are small text files that the Internet browser stores on the
user's computer. These cookies lose their validity after 30 days and are
not used for the personal identification of the users. If the user visits
certain pages of this website and the cookie has not expired yet, Google
and we can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to
this page.
- Google Adwords Conversion Tracking:
Within the Google AdWords service, we use the conversion tracking function
as well. A "conversion" is a specific action of the user (e.g.
ordering a newsletter, registering on the site), e.g. when you click on an
ad we have placed (on Google itself, so-called "Google Ads", or
on other sites within the Google Display Network). The information that is
collected using the conversion cookie is used to create conversion
statistics for AdWords customers. Each Google AdWords customer receives a
different cookie. The cookies can not be tracked through the websites of
advertisers. The information gathered using the conversion cookie is used
to generate conversion statistics for AdWords advertisers who have opted
for conversion tracking. Customers are told the total number of users who
clicked on their ad and were redirected to a conversion tracking tag page.
However, they do not receive information that personally identifies users.
You can disable interest-based ads on Google as well as interest-based
Google ads on the web (within the Google Display Network) in your browser
by clicking the "Off" button under https://adssettings.google.com.
For more information on your Google's setting options and privacy, visit https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en
and https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads?hl=en.
The storage of "conversion cookies" is based on Art. 6 para. 1
lit. of GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analysing
user behavior in order to optimise both its website and its advertising.
- Linked In Conversion Tracking: On our
website, we use the analysis and conversion tracking technology of the
LinkedIn platform. This LinkedIn technology allows you to view more
relevant ads based on your interests. We also provide LinkedIn with
aggregated and anonymous reporting of ad activities and information about
how you interact with our website. For more information on LinkedIn
privacy, please visit https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy#choices-oblig.
You can disregard the analysis of your usage behavior by LinkedIn as well
as the display of interest-based recommendations ("opt-out"):
Click the "Reject on LinkedIn button" (for LinkedIn members) or
Reject (for other users) at the following link: https://www.linkedin.com/psettings/guest-controls/retargeting-opt-out.
