III. General Information about Data Processing

(1) We take data privacy very seriously. We process the personal data collected when visiting our website in full compliance with the applicable data privacy regulations. These include, in particular, the EU General Data Protection Regulation (DS-GVO), the Bremen Implementation Act on the EU General Data Protection Regulation (BremDSGVOAG) and the Bremen University Law (Section 11 BremHG) and the Telemedia Act (TMG).

(2) In principle, we process personal data of our users only insofar as this is necessary to provide a functioning website and present content and services. The processing of our users’ personal data takes place only after obtaining their consent. An exception applies in cases where prior consent is de facto not possible and the subsequent processing is permitted by law. Any use of your personal data takes place solely for the stated purposes and to the extent necessary to serve these purposes.

(3) Your data will neither be published by us nor without authorization passed on to third parties. We point out, however, that we are entitled in individual cases and on the order of the competent bodies to provide information on collected data for law enforcement purposes, to aid the police forces of the Länder in the prevention of risks and the Federal Intelligence Service in fulfilling the statutory duties of the constitutional protection authorities of the Federal Government and the Länder (legal basis Article 6 section 1 item c DS-GVO).

(4) In the following, we wish to inform you about the nature, scope and purpose of the collection and use of personal data.

1. Data collection and processing when accessing from the Internet

(1) When you visit our website, our web servers automatically save each access in a log file.

(2) This data is stored separately from other data that you enter when using the website. It is not possible for us to assign this data to a specific person. No storage of this data or other personal data of the user takes place. The storage in log files serves to ensure the functionality of the website. In addition, the data is used to optimize the website and to ensure the security of our IT systems. This data is used in anonymized form for the statistical evaluation of our website with AWStats and subsequently deleted. The legal basis for the temporary storage of data and log files is Article 6 section (1) item (f) DS-GVO.
The following data is recorded:

• Browser information, the IP address of the requesting computer is not recorded
• Date and time of access
• Access method / function desired by the requesting computer
• Name and URL of the retrieved file
• Transmitted amount of data
• Access status of the web server (file transfer, file not found, command not executed, etc.)
• The URL from which access is acquired

(3) The login for access to protected areas is partially logged in order to detect attempts at abuse and password attacks. Thereby, no data is stored with the help of which personal profiles could be created about the user’s behavior.

(4) The collection of such data and the storage of the data in log files is essential for the provision and the operation of the website. There is consequently no possibility for users to protest such use.

2. Cookies

(1) Our website uses cookies in several places. They serve to make our offer more user-friendly and effective. Cookies are small text files that are stored by the browser on your computer. Most of the cookies we use are so-called session cookies (legal basis, Article 6 section 1 item f DS-GVO), which are deleted when you end your browser session.

The following cookies are set:

• session cookies (for session detection, duration: one session)
• WordPress session cookie (for session detection, duration, one session)

Therefore, we cannot assume any liability for these external contents. At the time the links are included, there is no evidence of illegal contents on the respective pages. However, we have no influence on the current and future design and content of the linked sites. A permanent control of these third-party sites would be unreasonable. If we become aware of a violation, we will remove the link immediately. When you leave this site, it is recommended that you carefully read the privacy policy of each website first.
