Rights of Data Subjects Under Articles 15 ff. GDPR
If we process personal data about you, you have the following rights under Articles 15 ff. GDPR:
Right of Access
You have the right to request information about your stored personal data and associated details (Art. 15 GDPR). In certain cases, this right may be restricted or excluded (e.g., Art. 10 BayDSG).
Right to Rectification
If personal data is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to request its correction or completion (Art. 16 GDPR).
Right to Erasure or Restriction
Under certain legal conditions, you may request the deletion of your personal data (Art. 17 GDPR) or restriction of its processing (Art. 18 GDPR). However, the right to erasure pursuant to Art. 17 (1) and (2) GDPR does not apply if the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller (Art. 17 (3) (b) GDPR).
Right to Data Portability
If processing is based on consent or a contract and carried out by automated means, you may have the right to data portability (Art. 20 GDPR).
Right to Lodge a Complaint
You have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (Art. 51 GDPR), such as:
Bavarian State Commissioner for Data Protection

In addition to the right to complain, you can also seek legal redress.
Right of Withdrawal
If you have given consent for data processing, you can withdraw it at any time with future effect. The lawfulness of the processing before the withdrawal remains unaffected.
Right of Objection
You can object to the processing of your personal data at any time for reasons arising from your particular situation (Art. 21 GDPR).
1. Details About Data Processing
a. Visiting the Website
In general, it is possible to use our website without providing personal data. No data relating to your identity (e.g. name, address or e-mail address) is collected on our website. The browser used on your device only automatically sends information to the server of our website (e.g. browser type and version, date and time of access) to enable the website to establish a connection. This also includes the IP address of your requesting device. This is temporarily stored in a log file and automatically deleted after 4 days.
The IP address is processed for technical and administrative purposes of connection establishment and stability in order to ensure the security and functionality of our website and to be able to prosecute any illegal attacks on it if necessary.
The legal basis for the processing of the IP address is Art. 6 paragraph 1 sentence 1 lit. e GDPR. Our legitimate interest follows from the aforementioned security interest and the need to provide our website without disruption. We cannot draw any direct conclusions about your identity from the processing of the IP address and other information in the log file. We also use cookies and analysis services when you visit our website. You will find more detailed explanations in sections 4 and 5 of this privacy policy.
The website is hosted at the Leibniz Supercomputing Center in Munich.
b) Event Registrations
We regularly offer a wide range of events via our website, for which you can register online. When registering for an event, some mandatory information must be provided. This includes, for example, your first name, surname and e-mail address. Any other mandatory information is marked as such (e.g. by means of *). In addition, further information can often be provided voluntarily. The mandatory data is processed in order to identify the interested parties as participants in the event, to process the contract for participation and to provide the participants with information about the event before, during and after the event. The provision of voluntary data enables us to plan and carry out the event in line with the interests and age of the participants. Data processing is carried out at the request of interested participants and is required in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR for the purposes mentioned for the fulfillment of the participant contract and the pre-contractual measures.
2. Data Transmission
We would like to point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g. via a link to an external blog or Twitter page) may be subject to security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible. We hereby expressly prohibit the use of contact data published as part of our obligation to provide a legal notice for the purpose of sending unsolicited advertising and information material. The operators of this website expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of the unsolicited sending of advertising information, such as spam e-mails.
3. Cookies
We use cookies on our website to recognize multiple use of our offer by the same user/internet connection owner. Cookies are small text files that your Internet browser stores on your computer. They are used to optimize our website and our offers. These are usually so-called “session cookies”, which are deleted again at the end of your visit. In some cases, however, these cookies provide information to recognize you automatically. This recognition is based on the IP address stored in the cookies. The information obtained in this way is used to optimize our services and make it easier for you to access our website. You can prevent the storage of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings in your browser software. However, we would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all the functions of this website to their full extent.
4. Obligation to Delete Data
You can demand that we delete the personal data concerning you immediately. We are obliged to delete this data immediately if one of the following reasons applies:
– The personal data concerning you are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed. You revoke your consent on which the processing was based pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a or Art. 9 paragraph 2 lit. a GDPR and there is no other legal basis for the processing.
– You object to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing or you object to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 (2) GDPR.
– The personal data concerning you has been processed unlawfully.
