Data protection information
The Max-Planck-Gesellschaft zur Förderung der Wissenschaften e.V. (MPG) takes the protection of your personal data very seriously. We process personal data gathered when visiting our websites in compliance with applicable data protection legislation. We neither publish your data nor transmit them to third parties on an unauthorized basis. In the following section, we explain which data we record when you visit one of our websites, for example the workshop website https://www.mpinat.mpg.de/workshop/huenfeld, and exactly how they are utilized:
Scope of data processing
As a matter of principle, we gather and utilize users' personal data only to the extent required to ensure the functioning of our website and of our contents and services. The gathering and utilization of our users' personal data normally occurs after users have granted their consent. An exception occurs where data processing is legally permitted.
Additionally, we are collecting and processing data that is necessary to organize the workshop, to communicate with the participants and to provide and distribute information about relevant technical details or workshop material including program and abstract booklet. For the workshop registration itself, the Software Lime Survey provided by the GWDG is used.
The video conferencing tool Zoom is used to arrange the live broadcasting of presentations. Sessions are hosted by the Telekom on German servers. The processing of your personal data takes place within the scope of order processing on systems of the GWDG. A passing on of data to third parties does not take place. Processing of the data takes place within the scope of order processing and follows the German General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
Legal basis for data processing
To the extent that permission of the affected individual is obtained for the processing of personal data, Article 6 (1) lit. a of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis.
In the processing of personal data to fulfil a contract whose contractual party is the individual affected, Article 6 (1) lit. b GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing required to implement pre-contractual measures.
If processing is required to safeguard the justified interest of the MPG or a third party and the interests, basic rights and basic freedoms of the affected individual do not outweigh the first-mentioned interest, Article 6 (1) lit. f GDPR serves as the basis for such processing.
Data deletion and storage duration
The affected individual's personal data are deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of the storage ceases to apply. Storage can also occur if provided for by European or national legislators in EU regulations, acts or other legislation to which the MPG is subject. A blocking or deletion of data then occurs only if a storage period prescribed by one of the aforementioned norms expires, unless a necessity exists in relation to the further storage of the data for the arrangement of a contract or the fulfilment of a contract.
