General Notice and Mandatory Information
Designation of the Responsible Party
The responsible party for data processing on this website is:
Forschungsinstitut für anwendungsorientierte Wissensverarbeitung/n (FAW/n)
Lise-Meitner-Straße 9
89081 Ulm
The responsible party takes your data protection very seriously and treats your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory provisions. Since new technologies and the constant further development of this website may result in changes to this data protection declaration, we recommend that you read through the data protection declaration again at regular intervals.
Definitions of the terms used (e.g. “personal data” or “processing”) can be found in Art. 4 GDPR.
Access Data
We, the website operator or page provider, collect data about accesses to the website based on our legitimate interest (see Art. 6 para. 1 letter f of GDPR) and store them as “server log files” on the server of the website. The following data is logged in this way:
- Website visited
- Time of day at the time of access
- Amount of data sent in bytes
- Source/reference from which you reached the page
- Browser used
- Operating System used
- IP address used
The server log files are stored for a maximum of 7 days and then deleted. The data is stored for security reasons, e.g. to be able to clarify cases of abuse. If data must be retained for evidentiary reasons, it is exempt from deletion until the incident has been finally clarified.
Reach Measurement & Cookies
This website uses cookies for pseudonymized reach measurement, which are transmitted to the user’s browser either by our server or the server of a third party. Cookies are small files that are stored on your terminal device. Your browser accesses these files. The use of cookies increases the user-friendliness and security of this website.
If you do not want cookies to be stored on your terminal device for the purpose of measuring reach, you can object to the use of these files in your browser settings. Popular browsers offer the setting option to not allow cookies. Note: It is not guaranteed that you will be able to access all functions of this website without restrictions if you make the corresponding settings.
Collection and Processing of Personal Data
The website operator collects, uses and discloses your personal data only if this is permitted by law or if you consent to the collection of data.
Personal data is any information that can be used to identify you and that can be traced back to you – for example, your name, e-mail address and telephone number.
You can also visit this website without providing any personal information. However, in order to improve our online offer, we store (without personal reference) your access data to this website. This access data includes, for example, the file you requested or the name of your Internet provider. By anonymizing the data, it is not possible to draw conclusions about your person.
We process personal data such as first name, last name, e-mail address and content data from the contact form. In doing so, we only process personal data with the express permission of the person concerned and in compliance with the applicable data protection regulations. The processing of personal data is based on our legitimate interest to fulfill our contractually agreed services and to optimize our online offer.
Handling of Contact Data
If you contact us as the website operator through the contact options offered (contact form or newsletter registration), your information will be stored so that we can use it to process and respond to your request. Without your consent, this data will not be disclosed to third parties.
Contact Form
Data transmitted via contact form will be stored, including your contact data, in order to process your request or to be available for follow-up questions. This data will not be passed on without your consent.
The processing of the data entered in the contact form is based exclusively on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 letter a of the GDPR). A revocation of your already given consent is possible at any time. An informal communication by e-mail is sufficient for the revocation. The legality of the data processing operations carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.
Data transmitted via the contact form will remain with us until you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to store it, or there is no further need to store the data. Mandatory legal provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.
Newsletter
To send our newsletter we need an e-mail address from you. Verification of the specified e-mail address is necessary and the receipt of the newsletter must be consented to. Supplementary data is not collected or is voluntary. The data is used exclusively for sending the newsletter.
The newsletter dispatch is carried out by the website operator.
If you subscribe to the newsletter, you agree to the explained procedures and to receive the newsletter.
The data provided during the newsletter registration will be processed exclusively on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 letter a of the GDPR). A revocation of your already given consent is possible at any time. For the revocation, an informal message by e-mail or you unsubscribe via a corresponding link at the end of each newsletter is sufficient. The legality of the data processing operations already carried out remains unaffected by the revocation.
Data entered to set up the subscription will be deleted in the event of unsubscription. If this data has been transmitted to us for other purposes and elsewhere, it will remain with us.
Disclosure of Personal Data to Third Parties
Your personal data will not be disclosed, transferred, sold or otherwise marketed to other companies or institutions unless we have your express consent. Something else applies if we are obliged to disclose and transfer the data by law or by court judgment.
Right of Withdrawal and other User Rights
Some data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. A revocation of your already given consent is possible at any time. An informal communication by e-mail is sufficient for the revocation. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.
As a user, you have the right to request free information about what personal data has been stored about you. You also have the right to rectification of incorrect data and to restriction of processing or deletion of your personal data. If applicable, you may also exercise your right to data portability. If you believe that your data has been processed unlawfully, you may lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority.
Right to Lodge a Complaint with the Supervisory Authority
As a person affected, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the responsible supervisory authority in the event of a data protection violation. The competent supervisory authority regarding data protection issues is the state data protection commissioner of the federal state in which our company’s registered office is located.

Right to Data Portability
You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract handed over to you or to third parties. The data will be provided in a machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another responsible party, this will only be done insofar as it is technically feasible.
Right to Information, Correction, Blocking, Deletion
Within the scope of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to free information about your stored personal data, the origin of the data, their recipients and the purpose of data processing and, if applicable, a right to correction, blocking or deletion of this data. In this regard and also for further questions on the subject of personal data, you can contact us at any time via the contact options listed in the imprint.
Data Deletion
Unless your request conflicts with a legal obligation to retain data (e.g. data retention), you have a right to have your data deleted. Data stored by us will be deleted if it is no longer required for its intended purpose and there are no legal retention periods. If deletion cannot be carried out because the data is required for permissible legal purposes, data processing will be restricted. In this case, the data will be blocked and not processed for other purposes.
SSL or TLS Encryption
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content that you send to us as site operator, our website uses SSL or TLS encryption. This means that data that you transmit via this website cannot be read by third parties. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the “https://” address line of your browser and the lock symbol in the browser line.
