Readspeaker reading and translation function
A web service of the company ReadSpeaker GmbH is used on our website.
Readspeaker GmbH
Am Sommerfeld 7
86825 Bad WörishofenWe use this service to make our content as accessible as possible (see accessibility statement). In this context, your browser may transmit personal data to ReadSpeaker if it is available on a website and can be read. The content is sent to ReadSpeaker's data centers to be converted into audio files. However, ReadSpeaker does not collect or store any personal data.
The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The legitimate interest lies in the error-free functioning of the website. The data is deleted as soon as the purpose of its collection has been fulfilled.
How ReadSpeaker webReader works
The content to be read out is either sent by the client web browser (POST) or fetched from our servers (GET). This depends on the chosen implementation. The data is sent via an encrypted channel with HTTPS (TLS >=1.2).
The content is processed internally on site to convert it into speech. Once this is done, a redirect is sent back to the user, redirecting the web browser to our servers that generated the audio.
No text content needs to be stored permanently, the data is only stored temporarily during the creation of the audio and use of the same audio by the user.
Data collected, stored and used
ReadSpeaker does not collect or store any personal data. ReadSpeaker only logs how many clicks the reading function generates. With the exception of general web server logs, which are temporary, user-specific data is never collected, logged or documented.
If personal data is present on a website and can be read, it can be sent to our data centers to be converted into sound files. If there is no personal data on the website, no data is processed by webReader.
There are two types of protocols that are used for different purposes.
Web server protocols
These logs are required for troubleshooting and to prevent unlawful use. Web server logs store IP addresses. Access to these logs is restricted to a limited number of people with specific roles related to maintenance. Web server log records older than 30 days are permanently deleted.
Log information is restricted to technical personnel and is only accessible via encrypted private channels with MFA. ReadSpeaker does not sell or share log information.
Statistics logs
The data for statistics logs is anonymized directly. It only contains the customer ID, timestamp and which voice was used. This data is used for billing purposes.
Statistics are saved per activation. Activation occurs when a user clicks on the "Read aloud" button to have content read aloud.
The statistics log contains the URL from which the read aloud button was activated. If the URLs are not unique for each user, no user information is saved.
Caching
The data required for webReader to function optimally consists of the audio files, which are only stored temporarily in our cache on disc by default. The cache is dynamic. Depending on how often requests are received from users, a cached file remains for 20 minutes or longer. It is deleted if it has not been used for 2 hours. A cached file is deleted after 24 hours, regardless of how often it is requested. Depending on the general load situation, these values can be adjusted to compensate for this.
When changes are made to a customer website, a new job ID (and therefore a new audio file) is generated when using the webReader. It is possible to switch off audio caching, for example if the content of the website is classified. This has an impact on prices due to the increased capacity consumed by not using the caching system and additional development is required.
The data collected will not be passed on to third parties.
webReader sets up two technical cookies:
1. a technical session cookie that determines whether or not the script is loaded when the page is loaded. This cookie has the name "_rspkrLoadCore" and is a pure session cookie. The cookie is set after webReader has been activated, i.e. when an interaction with the player has taken place. This cookie is used to inform us that a user has activated webReader on a page. We then automatically load the ReadSpeaker scripts when the user navigates to another page so that the user receives the audio more quickly.
2. a cookie for saving setting changes in the settings menu. By default, this cookie is called "ReadSpeakerSettings", but its name can be changed by configuring "general.cookieName". The cookie has a default lifetime of 360000000 ms (i.e. approx. 4 days), which can be changed with the configuration "general.cookieLifetime". This cookie is used to save the settings of individual users so that they do not have to reapply their preferred settings on every page they navigate to.
Data purposes: webReader stores the user's settings in a cookie so that they are saved and applied when the user navigates between pages.
Collected data: No data is collected. Information about speed, highlight colors, etc. is stored in the cookies. No IP address is stored.
Data recipient: No data is sent from the cookie, but only stored in the browser.
docReader sets up two technical cookies:
1. dcrjobnames - contains an encrypted version (MD5) of the URL of the document and the page number that was last accessed. Lives for 30 days.
2. dcrsettings - Lives for 30 days and stores information on: whether JavaScript mode was last used or not, whether the user has selected text mode or not, interface language, reading speed, highlighting method, text and background color for highlighting, font size in text mode, font in text modeSubcontractors:
