Thank you for visiting our website and your interest in our institute and services. The protection of your personal data is very important to us. Hence we work strictly in accordance with the provisions of the data protection laws, in particular the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the new German Federal Data Protection Act (Bundesdatenschutzgesetz, BDSG).

In the following, we would like to inform you of the type of data we collect and how we process and use this on our web pages.

General information on data processing

We process our users’ personal data only to the extent necessary to provide a functioning website as well as our content and services. Users’ personal data is only processed with their consent, except when prior consent cannot be obtained for technical reasons and the processing of data is permitted by law.

Insofar as we obtain the data subject’s consent for the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1(a) GDPR serves as the legal basis.

For the processing of personal data necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party, Art. 6 para. 1(b) GDPR forms the legal basis.

If the processing of personal data is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation to which our institute is subject, Art. 6 para. 1(c) GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing of data.

If processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our institute or a third party and if such a legitimate interest is not overridden by the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject, Art. 6 para. 1(f) GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing.

The data subject’s personal data will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose for which it was stored ceases to apply.

Personal data may moreover be stored if this has been foreseen by European or national lawmakers in EU regulations, laws or other provisions to which our institute is subject. Data will also be blocked or deleted if a storage period specified in any of the aforementioned legislation expires, unless there is a need for continued storage of the data to conclude or fulfil a contract.

Use of cookies

We use so-called session cookies on our web pages.

For technical reasons, individual pages generate so-called session cookies. As a rule, these are not stored permanently, but rather are automatically deleted at the end of a user’s session or when the user closes their browser. Only in the case of online surveys are cookies stored for the duration of the survey. In general, we do not collect any other personal data for this.

The purpose of technically necessary cookies is to simplify use of the website for users. Some functions of our website cannot be offered without the use of cookies. For these, the browser must also be recognised after a change of page.

The user data collected by technically necessary cookies is not used to create user profiles.

Cookies are stored on the user’s end device and transmitted to our page from there. Therefore, as a user, you also have full control over the use of cookies. You can deactivate or restrict the transmission of cookies by adjusting the settings in your internet browser. Cookies that have already been stored can be deleted at any time. This can also be done automatically, e.g. after closing your internet browser. If cookies are deactivated for our website, it may no longer be possible to use all functions of the website in the usual manner.

Session cookies are deleted after you leave our website. Cookies created during a survey are deleted one month after the survey has ended at the latest.

The legal basis for the processing of personal data using cookies is Art. 6 para. 1(f) GDPR.

Rights of data subjects

Where applicable, you also the right to have this data corrected, blocked or deleted, or its processing limited. You have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, at any time to the processing of your personal data based on Art. 6 para. 1(e) or (f) GDPR.
