What Design Quarterly Does Not Do
Design Quarterly does not run analytics, session recording or behavioral tracking, does not use advertising, retargeting or social media tracking pixels, does not follow you from one website to another and does not try to recognize you or your devices through fingerprinting techniques, such as combining browser, screen, font, graphics or hardware characteristics. Design Quarterly does not make automated decisions about you and does not create a profile of you.
Technical Data Needed to Deliver design-quarterly.com
Like virtually every website, the servers that host design-quarterly.com process the technical information that your browser sends with each request, for example your IP address, the page requested, the date and time and the type of browser. This processing delivers pages to you, keeps design-quarterly.com secure and available and protects design-quarterly.com against abuse, on the basis of our legitimate interest in operating a secure website. The data is not used to identify or profile you, is not combined with other data about you and is kept only for as long as these purposes make necessary.
Images and Content from Other Servers
Project images of the kitchenware, culinary art and kitchen furniture designs shown on Design Quarterly, as well as other images, visuals and data, may be loaded directly from external third-party servers, such as content delivery networks. Such third-party services may potentially have their own terms and conditions as well as privacy policies that may apply.
Advertising
To support the work that goes into Design Quarterly, advertisements are displayed on design-quarterly.com, delivered by Massive Outreach Ads Network, the advertising solution provider of Design Quarterly. Massive Outreach Ads Network is privacy-first and does not track you, does not collect your personal information and respects your privacy. As a result, advertisements on Design Quarterly are not based on profiles of your browsing behavior.
Forms and Third-Party Services
When you use the Design Quarterly Submit Design page, the Design Quarterly Newsletter page or the Design Quarterly Encyclopedia page, you type your details (for example a name, surname and e-mail address, or a search term) into a page of design-quarterly.com, and Design Quarterly then forwards you automatically to the website of the relevant service, passing along what you typed so that you do not have to type it again. Design Quarterly uses this information only to forward you and for no other purpose. From the moment you arrive on the destination website, that service processes your information under the privacy notice of that service, which you are encouraged to read. In addition, each of these sites may have its own, additional terms and conditions.
Links to Other Websites
Design Quarterly may potentially link to websites that Design Quarterly does not operate, such as websites of designers, brands, partners, institutions and award platforms. The privacy practices and the content of such websites remain the responsibility of the respective website operators.
Children
Design Quarterly is a general-audience design publication and is not directed at children. Design Quarterly does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone at all, let alone children.
Security
design-quarterly.com can be accessed through the encrypted https://design-quarterly.com address, which helps protect the communication between your browser and our servers. design-quarterly.com may also remain accessible through the unencrypted http protocol, which may offer less protection, so you are strongly encouraged to use the https address.
Design Quarterly Publisher
The publisher of Design Quarterly (design-quarterly.com) is identified in our Impressum.
Your Rights
Because Design Quarterly does not collect personal information about you, there is normally nothing for us to access, correct, port or delete or restrict. If you nevertheless believe that the publisher of Design Quarterly holds or processes personal information about you, or if you wish to exercise any right under applicable data protection law (such as the rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability and objection, or the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority), you can use the contact details in the Design Quarterly Impressum. For information processed by third parties that you reach through links or forms, please contact those third parties directly.
