Scope of processing personal data
We generally only process our users' personal data to the extent that this is necessary to provide a functional website and our content and services. The processing of our users' personal data usually only takes place with the consent of the users. An exception applies in cases where prior consent cannot be obtained for factual reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by law.
Description and scope of data processing
Each time our website is accessed, our system automatically collects data and information from the computer system of the accessing computer.
The following data is collected:
- Information about the browser type and version used
- Operating system of the accessing computer

The data is also stored in the log files of our system. This data is not stored together with other personal data of users.

The scope of the processing of personal data concerns the data you entered when registering for the newsletter. The legal basis for the processing of personal data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. The data entered in the registration form of our newsletter will be used by us exclusively for sending our newsletter, in which we inform you about news of the DIONA project. After registration, we will send you a confirmation e-mail containing a link that you must click on to complete your registration for our newsletter. You can unsubscribe from our newsletter at any time by clicking on the unsubscribe link, which is also included in every newsletter. Your data will be deleted immediately after you unsubscribe. Likewise, if you do not complete your registration, we will delete your data immediately. We reserve the right to delete your data without giving reasons and without prior or subsequent notification.
When you use our contact form, the following additional data is also collected and stored:
- Subject and content of the message
- (Optional) name and e-mail address of the person filling out the form
Purpose and legal basis for data processing
The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to enable the website to be delivered to the user's computer. For this purpose, the user's IP address must remain stored for the duration of the session. (Necessity to fulfill the task of the university Art. 6 para. 1 lit. e GDPR)
Data is stored in log files to ensure the functionality of the website. In addition, we use the data to optimize the website and to ensure the security of our information technology systems. The data is not analyzed for marketing purposes in this context. (Necessity to fulfill the task of the university Art. 6 para. 1 lit. e GDPR)
The processing and storage of the data entered in the contact form serves the purpose of establishing contact with the "DIONA" project. This only takes place with the consent of the data subject (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR).
Duration of processing and storage
Processing takes place during use until the end of the respective session.
If the data is stored in log files, this will be the case after 24 hours at the latest. After this time, the IP addresses of the users are anonymized so that it is no longer possible to identify the accessing client.
The personal data of the data subject will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies. Data may also be stored if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in EU regulations, laws or other provisions to which the person responsible is subject. The data will also be blocked or erased if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless there is a need for further storage of the data for the conclusion or fulfillment of a contract.

You can recognize 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.
If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you send to us cannot be read by third parties.
