Tel.: +49 176 2535 0007

Hereafter referred to as “Owner”.

2. Use of Cookies

We use functional session cookies to ensure the website operates properly.

These cookies are temporary, do not contain personal data, and are automatically deleted when you close your browser.

No consent is required for these cookies, as they are essential for basic website functionality.

3. Website Statistics (Matomo)

To analyze and continuously improve our website, we use Matomo, an open-source web analytics platform.

Matomo is operated on our own server infrastructure, so no data is shared with third parties.

We have configured Matomo for cookieless tracking, meaning:

• No tracking cookies are stored on your device.
• Your IP address is anonymized immediately (the last bytes are masked).
• Matomo does not create user profiles or use data to identify individual visitors.

The following data may be collected:

• Anonymized IP address
• Date and time of the request
• Title and URL of visited pages
• Referring websites (if applicable)
• Screen resolution and browser type
• Approximate country of access (based on anonymized IP)
• Downloaded files and clicked outbound links

All data is processed exclusively on our servers in Switzerland (or within the EU/EEA) and used only for aggregated, statistical evaluation of website traffic.

No data is transferred to Matomo Cloud or other external services.

If you wish to opt out of this anonymous measurement, you can activate the “Do Not Track” function in your browser. Matomo respects this browser setting.

Opt-out complete; your visits to this website will not be recorded by the Web Analytics tool. Note that if you clear your cookies, delete the opt-out cookie, or if you change computers or Web browsers, you will need to perform the opt-out procedure 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.

You are not opted out. Uncheck this box to opt-out. You are currently opted out. Check this box to opt-in.

The tracking opt-out feature requires cookies to be enabled.

4. Personal Data

Personal data is stored only when necessary (e.g. for newsletter subscriptions or contact forms) and kept for a maximum of one year for backup purposes.

No personal data is shared with third parties unless required by law (e.g. in case of criminal activity).

6. Third-Party Content

Our website generally does not use third-party content (such as widgets or plug-ins).

However, embedded media such as YouTube videos may appear in some sections.

When playing such content, data may be transmitted to the respective platform providers.

Please refer to the privacy policies of those providers for more information.

7. Events

Information about events such as DECT World 2025 is provided for informational purposes only.

Registration for events may redirect you to third-party platforms, where separate privacy rules apply.

8. Data Security

We take appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data against loss, misuse, unauthorized access, or disclosure.

9. Your Rights

You have the right to:

• request information about stored data,
• request correction or deletion,
• object to processing,
• or withdraw consent at any time.

Please contact us at secretariat@dect.org for data protection inquiries.
