Press releases
The DZHW processes publicly available email addresses of media representatives working in the field of higher education and scientific research, regardless of whether they have registered, in order to send them press releases for the purpose of informing the public about the DZHW's scientific research activities and their benefits for society and politics. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. You have the right to unsubscribe from the press distribution list at any time.
Twitter/X, Facebook, and Instagram
Twitter/X, Facebook, and Instagram are only linked on the website, so your personal data is not automatically transferred to these platforms.
Zofar
Zofar is software developed by the DZHW itself for online surveys. If you participate in an online survey programmed with Zofar, the following information will be recorded in addition to your answers:
Date and time of the request
Time zone difference to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT)
Content of the request (specific page)
Amount of data transferred and access status (file transferred, file not found, etc.)

This data is processed within the scope of technical requirements in order to display the survey web pages to you and to ensure the stability and security of the Zofar system. The data will either be deleted after completion of the survey or, with your express consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR), used in whole or in part for scientific research together with your answers. You will be informed of such use at the beginning of the survey.
Data storage
Unless there is an archiving obligation, personal data will only be stored for as long as is necessary in accordance with legal requirements. Data collected for the purpose of scientific research will be anonymized once the purpose has been achieved in order to make it available to the scientific community.
Rights of users of the Internet offering
In accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), you have the following rights when the DZHW processes your personal data:
If your personal data is processed, you have the right to obtain information about the data stored about you (Art. 15 GDPR).
If incorrect personal data is processed, you have the right to have it corrected (Art. 16 GDPR).
If the legal requirements are met, you can request the deletion or restriction of processing and object to processing (Art. 17, 18, and 21 GDPR).
If you have consented to data processing or if a contract for data processing exists and the data processing is carried out using automated procedures, you may have a right to data portability (Art. 20 GDPR).
If you have consented to the processing of your data by the DZHW by means of a corresponding declaration, you can revoke your consent at any time for the future. The revocation does not affect the lawfulness of the data processing carried out on the basis of the consent until revocation.
If you exercise your above-mentioned rights, the DZHW reserves the right to check whether the legal requirements are met.
Furthermore, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Federal Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information. You can contact them at the following address:

Electronic mail (e-mail)
Information that you send to the DZHW in unencrypted form via electronic mail (e-mail) may be read by third parties during transmission. As a rule, your identity cannot be verified and it is not possible to determine who is behind an e-mail address. Legally secure communication via simple email is therefore not guaranteed. The DZHW uses filters against unwanted advertising (“spam filters”), which in rare cases may also automatically classify normal emails as unwanted advertising and delete them. Emails containing harmful programs (“viruses”) are automatically deleted in all cases.
If you contact us by email, your details will be stored so that they can be used to process and respond to your enquiry. This data will not be passed on to third parties without your consent.
If you wish to send messages that require protection, we recommend that you send the message to the DZHW by conventional mail. It is currently not possible to receive encrypted messages.
Changes to our privacy policy
The DZHW reserves the right to occasionally amend this privacy policy so that it always complies with current legal requirements or to implement changes to the range of services in the privacy policy, e.g. when introducing new services. The new privacy policy will then apply to your next visit.
