Legal Basis

Where the student body obtains the consent of the data subject for the collection of personal data (e.g., contact form, newsletter), Article 6(1)(a) GDPR serves as the legal basis. If processing is necessary for the purposes of a legitimate interest pursued by the student body and this interest is not overridden by the interests, fundamental rights, or freedoms of the data subject, Article 6(1)(f) GDPR serves as the legal basis.

UserAgent (browser used and operating system)
Accessed pages or content elements
Referrer URL (the previously visited page), if transmitted

These purposes also constitute our legitimate interest in data processing pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. The data is stored for a maximum of 7 days and is then retained in anonymized form. The IP address is not merged with other data sources.

Objection to Advertising Emails

The use of contact details published within the framework of the legal notice or comparable information—such as postal addresses, telephone and fax numbers, and email addresses—by third parties for the purpose of sending unsolicited information is prohibited. We expressly reserve the right to take legal action against the senders of so-called spam emails in the event of a violation of this prohibition.
