The following information provides a simple overview of what happens to your personal data when you visit this website. Personal data is any data by which you can be personally identified. For detailed information on data protection, please refer to our full privacy policy below.
Who is responsible for data collection on this website?
Data processing on this website is carried out by the website operator. You can find their contact details in the section "Responsible Party" below.
How do we collect your data?
Your data is collected when you provide it to us, for example by filling out a contact form. Other data is collected automatically or with your consent by our IT systems when you visit the website. This is primarily technical data (e.g., browser, operating system, time of page access). This data is collected automatically as soon as you enter our website.
What do we use your data for?
Part of the data is collected to ensure the error-free provision of the website. Other data may be used to analyse your user behaviour. This website does not use tracking or marketing cookies.
What rights do you have regarding your data?
You have the right at any time to receive information free of charge about the origin, recipient, and purpose of your stored personal data. You also have the right to request the correction or deletion of this data. If you have given consent to data processing, you can revoke this consent at any time for the future. You also have the right, under certain circumstances, to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data, and you have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority.
This website is hosted by an external service provider (hoster). The personal data collected on this website is stored on the hoster's servers. This may include IP addresses, contact requests, meta and communication data, contract data, contact details, names, website accesses, and other data generated via a website.
The use of the hoster is for the purpose of fulfilling our contractual obligations to our potential and existing customers (Art. 6 (1)(b) GDPR) and in the interest of a secure, fast, and efficient provision of our online offering by a professional provider (Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR).
The operators of this website 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. When you use this website, various personal data is collected. This privacy policy explains what data we collect and what we use it for.
We would like to point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g., when communicating by email) may have security gaps. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.
The responsible party for data processing on this website is:
Technische Universität Dresden
Center for Open Digital Innovation and Participation (CODIP)
01062 Dresden, Germany
Email: nelli.ukhova@tu-dresden.de
The responsible party is the natural or legal person who, alone or jointly with others, decides on the purposes and means of the processing of personal data (e.g., names, email addresses, etc.).
Unless a more specific storage period has been stated within this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for data processing no longer applies. If you assert a legitimate request for deletion or revoke your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g., retention periods under tax or commercial law); in the latter case, the data will be deleted once these reasons no longer apply.
Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You may revoke any consent you have already given at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.
If data processing is based on Art. 6 (1)(e) or (f) GDPR, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data at any time for reasons arising from your particular situation; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. The respective legal basis on which processing is based can be found in this privacy policy. If you object, we will no longer process your personal data concerned unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing serves to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims.
In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects have a right of appeal to a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, their place of work, or the place of the alleged infringement. The competent supervisory authority is:
Sächsischer Datenschutzbeauftragter
Devrientstraße 5, 01067 Dresden, Germany
You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfilment of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done insofar as it is technically feasible.
Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to obtain free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of data processing and, if applicable, a right to correction or deletion of this data. For this and other questions on the subject of personal data, you can contact us at any time.
This site uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content. 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.
This website uses only technically necessary cookies. These are small text files that are stored on your end device. They do no damage. We do not use cookies for tracking or marketing purposes.
Technically necessary cookies are stored on your device until you delete them. They enable us to recognise your browser the next time you visit. You can set your browser to inform you about the setting of cookies and to allow cookies only on a case-by-case basis, to accept cookies for certain cases or to exclude them in general, and to activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser.
If you send us enquiries via the contact form, your details from the enquiry form, including the contact details you provided there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the enquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We do not pass on this data without your consent.
The processing of this data is based on Art. 6 (1)(b) GDPR if your request is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of the enquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6 (1)(a) GDPR) if this has been requested.
The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g., after your request has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions, in particular retention periods, remain unaffected.
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:
This data is not merged with other data sources. The collection of this data is based on Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimisation of their website; for this purpose, server log files must be recorded.
We reserve the right to amend this privacy policy to ensure it always complies with current legal requirements or to implement changes to our services in the privacy policy, e.g., when introducing new services. The new privacy policy will then apply to your next visit.
