Data Protection Declaration

The Friedensau Institute for Evaluation (FIFE) is an interdisciplinary, self-governing central scientific institution of Friedensau Adventist University (FAU), Germany. FAU takes the protection of your personal data very seriously. FAU always treats your personal data in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations. FAU therefore is working together with a reliable external data protection expert. The external data protection expert is provided by UIMC Dr. Voßbein GmbH & Co KG.

In the following, FAU informs you about the processing of your personal data.

Collection and processing of personal data

In general, you can use the online offer of FAU without disclosing your identity. Should FAU request personal data (such as name, address, or e-mail address) on the website, e.g. as part of contact forms or when registering, you give your personal data on a voluntary basis. FAU uses this information for its own business purposes (such as sending the materials and information requested).

If you have any questions, FAU offers you the opportunity to contact FAU using the form provided on the website. The data marked as mandatory are required to assign and answer the inquiry. Further information can be given on a voluntary basis. Data processing for the purpose of getting in contact with FAU is carried out in accordance with Art. 6(1) sentence 1(a) GDPR on the basis of your voluntary consent.

The personal data collected for the use of the contact form will be deleted after completion of your inquiry and after expiration of the tax and commercial statutory storage obligations.

You can always revoke your consent once given – for example, for receiving a newsletter or other interesting information from FAU – without giving any reasons at any time with effect for the future. For this purpose, you can use the above-mentioned contact form, or any other contact option mentioned in the newsletter.

You can prevent the installation of cookies by setting your browser accordingly. As a result, you might not be able to make full use of all offers.

Logging

Each time you access the website, a protocol is created and processed for statistical purposes, with the individual user remaining anonymous:

referrer (page by whose link you got to this website)
search term (with search engine as referrer)
evaluation of the IP for the determination of the country of origin and the provider
browser, operating system, installed plug-ins, and screen resolution
time spent on the pages

FAU processes the data mentioned on basis of our legitimate interest in accordance with Art. 6(1) sentence 1(f) GDPR only for the following purposes:

to ensure a smooth connection setup of the website,
to ensure a comfortable use of the Internet presence,
to evaluate the system security and stability, and
for further administrative purposes.

FAU reserves the right to check this data retrospectively if FAU becomes aware of concrete indications for illegal use. The data will be deleted immediately if they are no longer necessary for the purpose, but at the latest after six months.

Information dislosure

Without your express consent, there will be no information disclosure to third parties for commercial or non-commercial purposes. FAU only passes on your personal data to third parties if this is legally permissible (e.g. on the basis of Art. 6 GDPR) and/or necessary. In some cases, FAU uses service providers for the legally required order processing of data. The website is hosted by strato.de. and maintained by »Büro Friedland // Kommunikation & Design«. The full responsibility for the data processing remains with FAU. Partly, FAU also uses plug-ins of other providers on its website: you will find more details below.

FAU hereby informs you that, pursuant to Art. 15 et seq. GDPR, under the conditions defined therein, you have the right to information, correction, deletion, restriction of processing, objection to processing of relevant personal data, and the right to data transfer. According to Art. 77 GDPR, you also have the right to complain to a data protection supervisory authority if you are of the opinion that the processing of your personal data violates this regulation. If the processing is based on Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR (consent), you also have the right to revoke the consent at any time, without affecting the legality of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until the revocation.

Changes to the data protection regulations of FAU

FAU reserves the right to make changes to its data protection regulations from time to time, so that the regulations always comply with current legal requirements, or in order to implement changes to the services of FAU in the data protection regulations, e.g. when introducing new services. Any further visits will then be subject to the new data protection regulations.
