III. General information on data processing

  1. Scope of processing of personal data

We process the personal data of our users only to the extent necessary to provide a functioning website and its contents, as well as our services.  The processing of personal data of our users takes place regularly only after the consent of the user.  An exception applies in those cases in which prior consent cannot be obtained for practical reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by statutory provisions.

  1. Legal basis for the processing of personal data

Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for processing personal data, Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a EU Data Protection Basic Regulation (DSGVO) serves as the legal basis.

Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO serves as a legal basis for the processing of personal data required for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party.  This shall also apply to processing operations necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures.

Insofar as the processing of personal data is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation to which the University of Bayreuth is subject, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c DSGVO serves as the legal basis.

If the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of the university or a third party, and if the interests, fundamental rights and fundamental freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the first-mentioned interest, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO serves as the legal basis for the processing.

  1. Data erasure and storage duration

The personal data of the person concerned will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies. Storage may also take place if the European or national legislator has provided for this in Union regulations, laws or other provisions to which the person responsible is subject. The data shall also be blocked or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless it is necessary for further storage of the data for the conclusion or performance of a contract.

IV. Provision of the website and creation of log files

  1. Description and scope of data processing

Each time you access our website, our system automatically collects data and information from the computer system of the accessing computer.

The following data will be collected:

  • Complete IP address of the requesting computer
  • Date and time of the request
  • Name, URL, and transferring data volume of the requested file.
  • Access status (requested file transferred, not found, etc.)
  • Web browser and operating system used
  • Web page from which the access was made

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

  1. Legal basis for data processing

The legal basis for the temporary storage of data and log files is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO.

  1. Purpose of the data processing

The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to enable provision of the website to the user's computer. For this purpose, the IP address of the user must remain stored for the duration of the session.  The data is stored in log files in order to ensure the functionality of the website. The data is also used to optimise the website and to ensure the security of our information technology systems. An evaluation of the data for marketing purposes does not take place in this context. These purposes also include our legitimate interest in data processing pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO.

  1. Duration of storage

The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer necessary to achieve the purpose for which it was collected.  In the case of the collection of data to provide the website, this applies when the respective session is terminated.

If the data is stored in log files, this is the case after seven days at the latest. Storage beyond this is possible. In this case, the IP addresses of the users are deleted or altered so that an assignment of the calling client is no longer possible.

  1. Possibility of opposition and removal

The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of data in log files is mandatory for the operation of the website.  Consequently, there is no possibility of objection on the part of the user.

V. Use of cookies

Description and scope of data processing

Our website uses cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored in the Internet browser or by the Internet browser on the user's computer system.  When a user visits a website, a cookie may be stored on the user's operating system.  This cookie contains a characteristic string of characters that enables the browser to be uniquely identified when the website is called up again.

We use cookies to make our website more user-friendly.  Some elements of our website require that the calling browser can be identified even after a page change.

Legal basis for data processing

The legal basis for the processing of personal data using cookies is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO.  The processing of personal data using cookies for analytical purposes, to which the user has consented, is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a DSGVO.

Purpose of the data processing

The purpose of using technically necessary cookies is to simplify the use of websites for users.


 Some functions of our website cannot be offered without the use of cookies.  For these it is necessary that the browser be recognized even after a page change.

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

Included in these purposes is our legitimate interest in the processing of personal data in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO.

Duration of storage, possibility of objection and removal

Cookies are stored on the user's computer and transmitted to our site by the user.  Therefore, you as a user also have full control over the use of cookies.  You can deactivate or restrict the transmission of cookies by changing the settings in your Internet browser.  Cookies that have already been saved can be deleted at any time.  This can also be done automatically.  If cookies are deactivated for our website, it is possible that not all functions of the website can be used to their full extent.

VI. Newsletter

  1. Description and scope of data processing

You can subscribe to a free newsletter on our website.


 When registering for the newsletter, the data from the input mask is transmitted to us.  These are in any case your e-mail address, in some cases also your name.

Your consent will be obtained for the processing of your data during the registration process and reference will be made to this data protection declaration.

No data will be passed on to third parties in connection with data processing for the dispatch of newsletters.  The data will be used exclusively for sending the newsletter.

  1. Legal basis for data processing

The legal basis for the processing of data by the user after registration for the newsletter is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO if the user has given his consent.

  1. Purpose of the data processing

The collection of the user's e-mail address serves to deliver the newsletter.  The collection of other personal data as part of the registration process serves to prevent misuse of the services or the e-mail address used.

  1. Duration of storage

The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer necessary to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. The user's e-mail address will therefore be stored as long as the newsletter subscription is active.  The other personal data collected in the course of the registration process is usually deleted after a period of seven days.

  1. Possibility of opposition and removal

The subscription of the newsletter can be cancelled by the affected user at any time.  For this purpose there is a corresponding link in every newsletter.  This also enables the revocation of consent to the storage of personal data collected during the registration process.

VII. Registration

  1. Description and scope of data processing

On our website, we offer users the opportunity to register by providing personal data.  The data is entered into an input mask and transmitted to us and stored.  The data will not be passed on to third parties.  As part of the registration process, the user's consent to the processing of this data is obtained.

  1. Legal basis for data processing

The legal basis for the processing of the data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO if the user has given their consent.

  1. Purpose of the data processing

Registration of the user is required for the provision of certain content and services on our website.

  1. Duration of storage

The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer necessary to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. This is the case for the data collected during the registration process if the registration is cancelled or modified on our website.         

  1. Possibility of opposition and removal

As a user you have the possibility to cancel registration at any time.  You can change the data stored about you at any time.

E-mail contact for the revocation of consent and for the contradiction of storage is possible via the following address: datenschutz@uni-bayreuth.de

VIII. Contact form and e-mail contact

  1. Description and scope of data processing

On our website there are contact forms which can be used for electronic contact.  If a user makes use of this option, the data entered in the input mask will be transmitted to us and stored.

Your consent will be obtained for the processing of the data as part of the sending process and reference will be made to this data protection declaration.

Alternatively, you can contact us via the e-mail address provided.  In this case, the personal data of the user transmitted with the e-mail will be stored.

The data will not be passed on to third parties in this context.  The data will be used exclusively for the processing of the conversation.

  1. Legal basis for data processing

The legal basis for the processing of the data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO if the user has given their consent.

The legal basis for processing the data transmitted in the course of sending an e-mail is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO.

  1. Purpose of the data processing

The processing of the personal data from the input mask serves exclusively to process the establishment of contact.  In the case of contact by e-mail, this also constitutes our necessary legitimate interest in the processing of the data.

The other personal data processed during the sending process serves to prevent misuse of the contact form and to ensure the security of our information technology systems.

  1. Duration of storage

The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer necessary to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. For the personal data from the input mask of the contact form and for that sent by e-mail, this becomes the case when the respective conversation with the user has ended.  The conversation ends when it can be inferred from the circumstances that the facts in question have been conclusively clarified.

The additional personal data collected during the sending process will be deleted after a period of seven days at the latest.

  1. Possibility of opposition and removal

The user has the possibility to revoke their consent to the processing of personal data at any time.  If the user contacts us by e-mail, they can object to the storage of their personal data at any time.  In such a case, the conversation cannot be continued.

E-mail contact for the revocation of consent and for the contradiction of storage is possible via the following address: datenschutz@uni-bayreuth.de

In this case, all personal data stored in the course of establishing contact will be deleted.

IX. Disclosure of personal data to service providers of the University of Bayreuth

We transmit personal data to third parties only if this is necessary in the context of contract processing, for example to the organizer of an event or the service provider commissioned with payment processing.  A further transmission of the data will not take place or only if you have expressly agreed to the transmission.  Transmission for purposes other than those listed below will not take place.  Insofar as this is necessary pursuant to Article 6 (1) sentence 1 lit b DSGVO for the execution of contracts with third parties, your personal data will be passed on to third parties.  This includes in particular the passing on of data to organisers and advance booking offices.  The data disclosed may be used by the third party exclusively for the aforementioned purposes.  If a payment method with a payment provider involved (e.g. PayPal) is selected for the conclusion of a chargeable contract, personal data will be passed on to the payment provider for the purpose of payment processing.

The basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO, which permits the processing of data for the fulfilment of a contract or pre-contractual measures.

X. Web analysis by Google Analytics

The web analysis service Google Analytics (with anonymization function) is integrated on this website.  The operating company of the Google Analytics component is Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.

From a privacy perspective, this Google tool is problematic and controversial.  Google could practically use Google Analytics to create a comprehensive user profile of website visitors.  If a Google service requiring registration is used by visitors, this user profile could also be assigned to specific persons.

Meanwhile, Google has reacted to this criticism and now offers website operators the possibility to extend the Google Analytics code with the function _anonymizeIp().  When this additional code is attached, the last 8 bits are deleted before any further processing of the requesting IP address.  This prevents identification of the website visitor.  A rough localization (permissible under data protection law) remains possible.  With this code addition a central requirement of the data protection supervisory authorities was fulfilled, although the question of the possibility of objection admissible under data protection law remains.

Google Analytics places a cookie on the information technology system of the person concerned.  What cookies are has already been explained above.  By setting the cookie, Google is able to analyse the use of our website.  Each time one of the individual pages of this website is accessed which is operated by the party responsible and on which a Google Analytics component has been integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the person concerned is automatically prompted by the respective Google Analytics component to transmit data to Google for the purpose of online analysis.  As part of this technical process, Google obtains knowledge of personal data, such as the IP address of the person concerned, which Google uses, among other things, to track the origin of visitors and clicks, and subsequently to enable commission statements.  The cookie is used to store personal information, such as the access time, the location from which an access originated and the frequency of visits to our website by the person concerned.  Each time you visit our website, this personal data, including the IP address of the Internet connection used by the person concerned, is transferred to Google in the United States of America.  This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America.  Google may share this personal information collected through the technical process with third parties.

The legal basis for the processing of users' personal data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO.

The University of Bayreuth uses Google Analytics, because this tool offers a very good possibility to gain knowledge about the accessing of our website, and on general user behaviour.  This analysis is necessary in order to constantly improve and optimize our Internet offer according to the needs of the visitors.  Google Analytics' powerful and easy-to-use features make it easy to analyze and view access data.

If you, as a visitor to our website, have doubts about the use of Google Analytics despite the anonymisation of the IP addresses used, there are several ways in which you can prevent the collection of data by Google Analytics.

This is possible, for example, by blocking JavaScript (for example, through the Firefox extension NoScript, Ghostery or through advertising blockers).  It is also possible to block access to the Google Analytics domain google-analytics.com altogether (for example by advertising blockers or by using the Hosts files).

In May 2010, Google also released a beta version of the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on for Internet Explorer (7 and 8), Google Chrome (4.x and above) and Mozilla Firefox (3.5 and above).  According to Google, the add-on deactivates all data transmission via Google Analytics Javascript.  In this way, users can prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and related to their use of the online service, as well as prevent Google from processing this data, by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under the following link:  http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.

For more information about Google's use of data for advertising purposes, setting preferences and opt-out options, please visit the following Google web pages: https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/partners/  ("Google's use of data when you use the websites or apps of our partners"), http://www.google.com/policies/technologies/ads ("Google's use of data for advertising purposes"), http://www.google.de/settings/ads ("Manage information Google uses to display advertisements for you") und http://www.google.com/ads/preferences/  ("Determine which advertisements Google displays to you").

XI. Facebook

Our website uses social plugins ("Plugins") of the social network facebook.com, which is operated by Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA ("Facebook").  The plugins are marked with a Facebook logo or the addition "Facebook Social Plugin".

If you call up a website on our website that contains such a plugin, your browser establishes a direct connection with the Facebook servers.  The content of the plugin is transmitted directly from Facebook to your browser, which integrates it into the website.

By integrating plugins, Facebook receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding page of our website. If you are logged in to Facebook, Facebook can assign the visit to your Facebook account, even if you have not confirmed the "Like" button.  If you interact with the plugins, for example by clicking on the "Like" button or making a comment, the corresponding information is transferred directly from your browser to Facebook and saved there.

Even if you don't have a Facebook account, Facebook can still collect information about you, such as your IP address.  The purpose and scope of the data collection and the further processing and use of the data by Facebook as well as your rights in this regard and setting options to protect your privacy can be found in Facebook's data protection information (https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/).

The use of Facebook is in the interest of presenting our online offering in an appealing way.  The legal basis is the legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO.

XV. Google Maps

This website provides geographic information for contact and travel purposes.  These are based on the Google Maps API provided by Google Inc., 1700 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.  By calling up the map service, Google can determine your IP address and the language of the system, as well as various browser-specific information.

The requested geographical positions from the Navigator menu are transferred directly to the service.  When accessing the page with a GPS-enabled device, the location position can also be transmitted.  Further personal data will not be transferred to Google.

Google uses cookies. The data processing procedures as well as the purposes of the processing can be inquired and viewed directly at Google


(https://policies.google.com/privacy).

If you access the relevant pages, you will be asked for your consent to use the map service under these conditions.  You can revoke this declaration of consent at any time.

The use of Google Maps is in the interest of quick retrieval of the facilities represented on the websites of the University of Bayreuth.  The legal basis is the legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO.

XVI. Google Custom Search

The search field on this website ("Google Custom Search") is made available to you by Google Inc. ("Google") .  The integrated search service enables a full-text search for contents of the Internet offer of the University of Bayreuth.  Access to this search function is possible via an integrated search box on the university's website.

For the use of the search field, which also transfers personal data to Google, Google's privacy policy applies (under www.google.de/privacy.html). If you do not wish to accept these external data protection provisions, please refrain from using the search function.  A transmission of your data takes place, if you send the form (input of a search term).

XVII. Rights of the data subject

If personal data of yours is processed, you are the data subject within the meaning of the DSGVO, and you are entitled to the following rights vis-à-vis the party responsible:

  1. Right to information

You can request confirmation from the party responsible as to whether personal data relating to you will be processed by us.

In the event of such processing, you may request the following information from the party responsible:

(1) the purposes for which the personal data is processed;

(2) the categories of personal data processed;

You have the right to request information as to whether the personal data concerning you will be transferred to a third country or to an international organisation.  In this context, you may request to be informed of the appropriate guarantees pursuant to Art. 46 DSGVO in connection with the transfer.

This right of access may be restricted to the extent that it is likely to make it impossible or seriously impair the realisation of the research or statistical purposes and the restriction is necessary for the fulfilment of the research or statistical purposes.

  1. Right to rectification

You have the right to have your personal data corrected and/or completed by the party responsible if the personal data processed concerning you is inaccurate or incomplete.  The party responsible must carry out the correction immediately.

Their right to rectification may be limited to the extent that it is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the achievement of the research or statistical purposes, and the limitation is necessary for the achievement of the research or statistical purposes.

  1. The right to limit processing

Under the following conditions, you may request that the processing of your personal data be restricted:

(1) if you dispute the accuracy of the personal data concerning you for a period of time which enables the party responsible to verify the accuracy of the personal data;

(2) the processing is unlawful and you refuse to delete the personal data and instead request the restriction of the use of the personal data;

(3) the party responsible no longer requires the personal data for the purposes of processing, but you need it to assert, exercise or defend legal claims, or

(4) if you have objected to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 para. 1 DSGVO and it has not yet been established whether the legitimate reasons of the party responsible outweigh your reasons.

Where the processing of personal data concerning you has been restricted, such data may not be processed, with the exception of its storage, without your consent or for the purpose of asserting, exercising or defending rights, or protecting the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of an important public interest of the Union or of a Member State.

If the processing restriction has been restricted in accordance with the above conditions, you will be informed by the party responsible before the restriction is lifted.

Your right to limit the processing may be limited to the extent that it is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the achievement of the research or statistical purposes, and the limitation is necessary for the achievement of the research or statistical purposes.

  1. Right to cancellation

 (a) Duty to delete

You may request the party responsible delete personal data concerning you immediately, and the party responsible is obliged to delete this data immediately if one of the following reasons applies:

(1) The personal data relating to you is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed.

(2) You revoke your consent on which the processing pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a DSGVO was based, and there is no other legal basis for the processing.

(3) You object to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 para. 1 DSGVO and there are no overriding legitimate reasons for the processing or you object to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 para. 2 DSGVO.

  1. b) Information to third parties

If the party responsible has made the personal data concerning you public and is obliged to delete it in accordance with Art. 17 (1) DSGVO, he shall take appropriate measures, including technical measures, taking into account the available technology and the implementation costs, to inform the persons responsible for data processing, who process the personal data, that you, as the person concerned, have requested them to delete all links to this personal data or copies or replications of this personal data.

(c) Exceptions

The right to deletion does not exist if the processing is necessary.

(1) the exercise of freedom of expression and information;

(2) to fulfil a legal obligation which requires processing  under the law of the Union or of the Member States to which the party responsible is subject, or to carry out a task carried out in the public interest, or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller;

(3) for reasons of public interest in the field of public health pursuant to Art. 9 para. 2 lit. h and i and Art. 9 para. 3 DSGVO;

(4) for archival purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes pursuant to Art. 89 para. 1 DSGVO, insofar as the law referred to in Section a) presumably makes the attainment of the objectives of such processing impossible or seriously impairs them, or

(5) to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.

  1. Right to information

If you have exercised your right to rectify, cancel or limit the processing of your personal data against the party responsible, the latter is obliged to notify all recipients to whom the personal data concerning you have been disclosed of such rectification, cancellation or limitation, unless this proves impossible or involves a disproportionate effort.

They shall have the right vis-à-vis the party responsible to be informed of such recipients.

  1. Right to data transferability

You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you that you have provided to the responsible person in a structured, common and machine-readable format.  In addition, you have the right to communicate this data to another party responsible without being hindered by the party responsible to whom the personal data was provided, provided that

(1) the processing is based on consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a DSGVO or on a contract pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO and

(2) the processing is carried out by automated means.

In exercising this right, you also have the right to request that the personal data concerning you be transmitted directly by one responsible party to another party responsible, insofar as this is technically feasible.  Freedoms and rights of other persons must not be affected by this.

The right to data transfer does not apply to the processing of personal data necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest, or in the exercise of official authority vested in the party responsible.

  1. Right of objection

You have the right, for reasons arising from your particular situation, to object at any time to the processing of your personal data on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. e or f DSGVO; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions.

The party responsible will no longer process the personal data relating to you unless he can prove compelling, legitimate reasons for its processing which outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.

If the personal data concerning you is processed for the purpose of direct advertising, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of the personal data concerning you for the purpose of such advertising; this also applies to profiling to the extent that it is connected with such direct advertising.

If you object to processing for direct marketing purposes, the personal data concerning you will no longer be processed for these purposes.

You have the possibility to exercise your right of objection in relation to the use of Information Society services - notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC - by means of automated procedures using technical specifications.

You also have the right to object to the processing of personal data concerning you for scientific or historical research purposes, or for statistical purposes, pursuant to Art. 89 para. 1 DSGVO for reasons arising from your particular situation.

Your right of objection may be restricted to the extent that it is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the realisation of the research or statistical purposes, and the restriction is necessary for the fulfilment of the research or statistical purposes.

  1. Right to revoke the declaration of consent under data protection law

You have the right to revoke your declaration of consent under data protection law at any time.  The revocation of the consent does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent up to the revocation.

  1. Automated decision in individual cases including profiling

You have the right not to be subject to any decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, that has any legal effect on you or similarly significantly affects you. This shall not apply if the decision

(1) is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between you and the party responsible,

(2) is authorised by legislation of the Union or of the Member States to which the party responsible is subject and contains appropriate measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests; or

(3) with your express consent.

However, these decisions may not be based on special categories of personal data under Art. 9 para. 1 DSGVO, unless Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a or g DSGVO applies and appropriate measures have been taken to protect the rights and freedoms as well as your legitimate interests.

In the cases referred to in (1) and (3), the party responsible shall take reasonable steps to safeguard the rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests, including at least the right of the party responsible to obtain the intervention of a person, to present his or her point of view and to contest the decision.

  1. Right of appeal to a supervisory authority

Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you shall have the right to complain to a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your residence, place of work or place of presumed infringement, if you consider that the processing of your personal data is in breach of the DSGVO.

The supervisory authority to which the complaint was submitted shall inform the complainant of the status and outcome of the complaint, including the possibility of a judicial remedy under Article 78 DSGVO.
