III. Definition of terms
Among others, we use the following terms in this Privacy Policy, set out
in the General Data Protection Regulation and the Federal Data
Protection Act:
1. Personal data
Personal data refers to any information relating to an identified or
identifiable natural person (hereinafter: ‘data subject’). An
identifiable natural person is one who can be identified – directly or
indirectly – in particular by reference to an identifier such as a
name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or
to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic,
mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.
2. Data subject
A data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose
personal data is processed by the controller.
3. Processing
Processing is any operation or set of operations performed on personal
data or on sets of personal data – whether or not by automated means –
such as collection, recording, organisation, structuring, storage,
adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by
transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or
combination, restriction, deletion or destruction.
4. Restriction of processing
Restriction of processing means the marking of stored personal data with
the aim of limiting its processing in the future.
5. Profiling
Profiling means any form of automated processing of personal data
consisting of the use of personal data to evaluate certain personal
aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyse or
predict aspects concerning that natural person’s performance at work,
economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests,
reliability, behaviour, location or movements.
6. Pseudonymisation
Pseudonymisation means the processing of personal data in such a manner
that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data
subject without the use of additional information, provided that such
additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical
and organisational measures to ensure that the personal data are not
attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.
7. Controller or data processing controller
Controller or data processing controller means the natural or legal
person, public authority, agency or other body which, alone or jointly
with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of
personal data; where the purposes and means of such processing are
determined by Union or Member State law, the controller or the specific
criteria for its nomination may be provided for by Union or Member State
law.
8. Processor
Processor means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or
other body that processes personal data on behalf of the controller.
9. Recipient
Recipient means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or
another body, to which the personal data are disclosed, whether a third
party or not. However, public authorities that may receive personal data
in the framework of a particular inquiry in accordance with Union or
Member State law shall not be regarded as recipients.
10. Third party
Third party means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or
body other than the data subject, controller, processor and persons who,
under the direct authority of the controller or processor, are
authorised to process personal data.
11.Consent
Consent of the data subject means any freely given, specific, informed
and unambiguous indication of the data subject’s wishes by which he or
she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies
agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her.
IV. General information on data processing
1. Scope of processing of personal data
We process personal data concerning our users exclusively to the extent
required to provide a functioning website, as well as our content and
services. Ordinarily, we will only process the personal data of our
users after obtaining their consent. An exception to this rule is where
obtaining prior consent is factually impossible and the processing of
the data is permitted by law.
2. Legal grounds for the processing of personal data
Where we obtain consent from the data subject for the processing of
personal data, the legal grounds are set out in Art. 6, paragraph 1,
part (a) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
Where personal data is processed for the performance of a contract in
which the data subject is a contractual partner, the legal grounds are
set out in Art. 6, paragraph 1, part (b) of the GDPR. This also applies
to processing that is necessary for pre-contractual measures.
Where personal data is processed for compliance with a legal obligation
to which our research centre is subject, the legal grounds are set out
in Art. 6, paragraph 1, part (c) of the GDPR.
Where processing of personal data is necessary for the protection of
vital interests of the data subject or another natural person, the legal
grounds are set out in Art. 6, paragraph 1, part (d) of the GDPR.
Where processing is necessary for the legitimate interests of our
research centre or a third party, and where the fundamental rights and
freedoms of the data subject do not override the first interests, the
legal grounds are set out in Art. 6, paragraph 1, part (f) of the GDPR.
3. Data deletion and duration of data storage
The personal data of the data subject will be deleted or blocked as soon
as the purpose of storage no longer applies. In addition, storage takes
place if authorised by Union or Member State directives, laws or other
regulations to which the controller is subject. Blocking or deletion of
the data shall also take place when a storage period stipulated by one
of the above standards comes to an end, except where it is necessary to
continue storing the data to enter into or perform a contract
V. Provision of the website and generation of log files
By accessing the FDR4ATMOS website, the web-server generates standard
log-file entries which contain:
1. The users’s IP address
2. The date and time of access
3. The accessed web-page
4. The status wether the accessed web-page was transmitted successfully or not
5. The number of bytes transferred
6. Information about the browser type and version
Temporary storage of the IP address by our system is necessary to
deliver the website to the computer of the user. For this purpose, the
user’s IP address must be stored for the duration of the session.
Storage in log files takes place only to ensure functionality and
security of the website. Data analysis for marketing purposes does not
take place in this context.
DLR does not draw any conclusions about the identity of the user during
use of this general data and information.
Instead, this information is necessary to (1) deliver the contents of
our website in their correct form; to (2) optimise the contents of our
website and promote it; to (3) guarantee the permanent functionality of
our information technology systems and equipment used for our website;
and to (4) provide the information necessary for law enforcement
organisations to investigate cyber-attacks. This anonymous data and
information is analysed by DLR, firstly for statistical purposes, and
secondly with the objective of increasing data protection and data
security at our research centre. These purposes justify our legitimate
interests in data processing according to Art. 6, paragraph 1, part (f)
of the GDPR.
Duration of storage:
The log file entries are deleted after 7 days.
VI. Rights of the data subject
Where personal data concerning you is processed, you are the data
subject as defined in the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
and you have the following rights with respect to the controller:
a) Right to information
You have the right to obtain from the controller confirmation of whether
personal data concerning you is processed by us. Where such processing
takes place, you have the right to obtain the following information from
the controller:
- the purposes for which the personal data is processed;
- the categories of personal data that is processed;
- the recipients, or categories of recipients to whom the personal data relating to you has been or will be disclosed;
- the planned duration of storage of the personal data concerning you, or the criteria applied to defining the duration of storage if precise information in this regard is not available;
- the existence of a right to correction or deletion of the personal data concerning you, the right to restrict processing by the controller or the right to object to this processing;
- the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority;
- all information available concerning the origins of the data if the personal data was not collected from the data subject;
- the existence of an automated decision-making process, including profiling, according to Art. 22 paragraphs 1 and 4 of the GDPR and – at least in these cases – meaningful information on the logic and implications involved, as well as on the intended effects of this kind of processing on the data subject;
- You also have the right to obtain information on whether the personal data concerning you has or will be transferred to a third country or to an international organisation. In this regard, you are entitled to request information on the appropriate guarantees in place with regard to this processing in accordance with Art. 46 of the GDPR.
The controller will provide a copy of the personal data that is subject
to processing. Where you request additional copies, the controller is
entitled to charge an appropriate fee based on administrative costs. If
you place the application by electronic means, the information will be
made available in a standard electronic format, except where otherwise
specified by you. The right to receive a copy in accordance with
paragraph 3 of this section must not adversely affect the rights and
freedoms of other persons.
b) Right to correction
As a data subject, you have the right to request from the controller the
correction of inaccurate personal data concerning you without undue
delay. Taking into account the purposes of the processing, you have the
right to have incomplete personal data completed, including by means of
providing a supplementary statement.
c) Right to limit processing
You have the right to request from the controller restriction of
processing of personal data concerning you under the following
conditions:
- where the accuracy of the personal data is contested by you, for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data;
- the processing is unlawful and you oppose the deletion of the personal data, and instead request the restriction of its use;
- the controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but it is required by you for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims; or
- if you have objected to processing pursuant to Art. 21, paragraph 1, of the GDPR, pending the verification of whether the legitimate reasons of the controller override your reasons.
Where processing of the personal data concerning you has been
restricted, such personal data shall, with the exception of storage,
only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise
or defence of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of
another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public
interest of the Union or of a Member State. Where you have obtained
restriction of processing under the conditions set out above, you will
be informed by the controller before the restriction of processing is
lifted.
d) Right to deletion
Obligation to delete
You have the right to request the controller to delete personal data
concerning you without undue delay, and the controller will be obliged
to delete personal data immediately where one of the following grounds
applies:
- the personal data is no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed;
- you withdraw consent on which the processing is based according to part (a) of Art. 6, paragraph 1, or part (a) of Art. 9, paragraph 2 of the GDPR, and there is no other legal basis for the processing;
- you object to the processing pursuant to Art. 21, paragraph 1 of the GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or you object to the processing pursuant to Art. 21, paragraph 2 of the GDPR;
- the personal data concerning you has been unlawfully processed;
- the personal data has to be deleted to comply with a legal obligation under a Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject;
- The personal data concerning you has been collected in relation to the offer of information society services referred to in Art. 8, paragraph 1 of the GDPR.
- Information to third parties
Information to third parties
Where the controller has made the personal data concerning you public
and is obliged pursuant to Art. 17, paragraph 1 of the GDPR to delete
the personal data, the controller, taking account of available
technology and the cost of implementation, is required to take
reasonable steps, including technical measures, to inform controllers
who are processing the personal data that you have requested to be
deleted by such controllers, as well as any links to, copies or
replications of such personal data.
Exceptions
The right to deletion does not apply to the extent that processing is
necessary:
- for exercising the right of freedom of expression and information;
- for compliance with a legal obligation under Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject or for the performance of tasks carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller;
- for reasons of public interest in the area of public health in accordance with parts (h) and (i) of Art. 9, paragraph 2 and Art. 9, paragraph 3 of the GDPR;
- for archiving purposes in the public interest, for scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes in accordance with Art. 89, paragraph 1 of the GDPR, insofar as the rights referred to in section (a) are likely to render impossible or seriously impair the achievement of the objectives of that processing; or
- for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
e) Right to notification
Where you have exercised the right to correction, deletion or
restriction of processing with the data controller, the data controller
shall be obliged to notify all recipients to whom the personal data
concerning you was disclosed of this correction or deletion of data or
of the restriction of processing, except where compliance proves to be
impossible or is associated with a disproportionate effort. In addition,
you are entitled to require that the data controller inform you about
these recipients.
f) Right to data portability
You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you, which
you have provided to the controller, in a structured, commonly used and
machine-readable format and have the right to transfer that data to
another controller without hindrance from the controller to which the
personal data have been provided, where: the processing is based on
consent pursuant to part (a) of Article 6, paragraph 1 or part (a) of
Article 9, paragraph 2 of the GDPR or in a contract pursuant to part (b)
of Art. 6, paragraph 1 of the GDPR; and the processing is carried out by
automated means. In exercising your right to data portability, you have
the right to have the personal data concerning you transmitted directly
from one controller to another, where technically feasible. This must
not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of other persons. The right
to data portability does not apply to processing that 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.
g) Right to object
You have the right to object, at any time, on grounds relating to your
particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning you,
which is based on parts (e) or (f) of Art. 6, paragraph 1 of the GDPR;
this includes profiling based on those provisions. The controller shall
no longer process the personal data concerning you, unless the
controller demonstrates compelling legitimate grounds for the processing
which override your interests, rights and freedoms or for the
establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims. Where personal data
concerning you is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the
right to object, at any time, to the processing of personal data
concerning you for the purpose of such marketing. This applies also to
profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing.
Where you object to processing for direct marketing purposes, the
personal data will no longer be processed for such purposes. In the
context of the use of information society services, and notwithstanding
directive 2002/58/EC, you may exercise your right to object by automated
means that use technical specifications. Where personal data is
processed for scientific or historical research purposes or for
statistical purposes pursuant to Art. 89, paragraph 1 of the GDPR, you
have the right, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to
object to processing of personal data concerning you, except where the
processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out for
reasons of public interest. Should you wish to exercise your right to
withdraw consent or to object, please send an email to
datenschutz@dlr.de.
h) Right to withdraw consent pursuant to Art. 7, paragraph 3 of the
GDPR
You have the right to withdraw your consent to the processing of data at
any time, with future effect. In the event that you withdraw consent, we
will delete the data concerned immediately, except where processing can
be based on legal grounds that do not require consent. The withdrawal of
consent will not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out prior
to withdrawal of consent.
i) Automated individual decision-making, including profiling
You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on
automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects
for you or similarly significantly affects you. This does not apply if
the decision:
- is necessary for entering into, or performance of, a contract between you and the data controller;
- is authorised by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which also contains suitable measures to safeguard your rights, freedoms and legitimate interests; or
- is based on your explicit consent.
However, these decisions must not be based on special categories of
personal data referred to in Art 9, paragraph 1 of the GDPR, unless
parts (a) or (g) of Art. 9, paragraph 2 of the GDPR applies and suitable
measures to safeguard your rights, freedoms and legitimate interests are
in place. In the cases referred to in parts (1) and (3), the data
controller is required to implement suitable measures to safeguard your
rights, freedoms and legitimate interests, including at least the right
to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express
your own point of view and to contest the decision.
j) Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority
Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you
have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in
particular in the Member State of your normal residence, you place of
work or the place of the alleged infringement, if you consider that the
processing of personal data relating to you infringes the GDPR. The
supervisory authority with which the complaint has been lodged is
required to inform the complainant on the progress and the outcome of
the complaint, including the possibility of a judicial remedy pursuant
to Article 78.
