Validity

The Data Protection and Privacy Statement is currently valid and was last amended on March 26th, 2021.

General Information on the Processing of your Data

Data processing by the Philipps-Universität Marburg, hereinafter referred to as the University, is carried out according to legal data protection regulations, in particular according to the provisions of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and Council dated 27 April 2016. This concerns the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of their personal data, the free movement of such data, and the termination of the Directive 95/46/EG Data Protection Basic Regulation (DSGVO), and the Hessian Data Protection and Freedom of Information Act (HDSIG) in the version effective from 25 May, 2018. According to Article 13 DSGVO, the University has an obligation to inform when collecting personal data. The service provider [...] “ makes available to the person concerned at the point in time when the data is being collected [...] information which is necessary in order to guarantee fair and transparent data processing.” The University takes the protection of your personal data seriously. It would like to inform you in a precise, transparent, understandable and easily accessible form about what data is collected when accessing this project website and how it is used. Due to future technological developments, changes to the content of this data protection and privacy statement may become necessary. The University expects you to check regularly whether an updated statement is available and to review it.

Processing of your Personal Data

This data protection and privacy statement applies to the web pages offered on the web server of the University and to the personal and non-personal data collected during access to these web pages. Your data is stored or processed only in the State of Hessen, Federal Republic of Germany, and not in countries that are outside the scope of the DSGVO.

Personal Data

According to Article 4 DSGVO, personal data is “all information which relates to an identified or identifiable natural person [...]. An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier, or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural, or social identity of that natural person.”

Data for Delivery of the Website

In order to deliver the website to your computer or web browser, a temporary storage of the IP address by the web server is necessary.

Logged Data and Storage Period

When accessing the web pages offered by the University, the following data is stored in the form of access logs:

  • the client's IP address
  • the (server) time of access
  • the HTTP method and the URL of the request
  • the HTTP status code of the server response
  • the byte size of the server response
  • the page of origin (the “referrer”) submitted by the browser
  • the user agent (the browser's software name)

    • Accesses to our web pages are stored in log files for seven full days and then deleted by rotation. The IP addresses stored in the log files are truncated by the last byte and thus made anonymous. The assignment of an IP address to a natural person is thus not possible or only possible with a disproportionately large effort. In order to defend against an ongoing or imminent deliberate attack on the web server and to preserve evidence, the University reserves the right to temporarily disable the anonymization of the IP address in the log files.

    Links to other Websites

    The web pages offered by the University may contain references (“links”) to websites of other providers, for example via social media icons to Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, or YouTube. The University has no influence on whether these providers also comply with the legal data privacy and security regulations. Please always check the privacy statements of the providers.

    Recipients of your Data in Compliance with Legal or Judicial Obligations

    The data recorded during your access of web pages offered by the University will only be forwarded to third parties if the University is legally obliged to do so, or in the case of a court ruling, or if it is necessary for legal or criminal prosecution in the event of an attack on the web server.

    Your Rights

    As a user of our website you have specific rights according to Articles 15 to 18, 21 DSGVO and HDSIG: right to information, right to correction and data deletion, right to limit the data processed, right to object, and right of complaint.

In your request for information disclosure you should specify precisely your key concerns in order to facilitate the compilation of the necessary data.

    Right to Data Deletion

    In accordance with Article 17 DSGVO and § 34 HDSIG you have the right to request the deletion of your personal data. Your right to deletion is dependent on certain conditions, for example whether the University requires your data in order to comply with our legal obligations.

    Right to object

    According to Article 21 DSGVO, you have the right to object to the processing of data concerning you at any time on reasons relating to your particular situation. However, the University may not always be able to comply your objection, for example if according to § 35 HDSIG the University is legally obliged to process your personal data. Please note that if you wish to access web pages offered by the University it is necessary to process the IP address of your client.

    Right to lodge a Complaint
