Personal Data

Personal data means all information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. We describe below how we process your personal data.

1. Storage of usage data for providing the website

Description and scope of data processing: When you visit our website, information from your system is automatically collected, including the IP address used, browser type, operating system, pages visited, and the time of your visit. The collection and storage of system information in log files is essential for providing the website.

Legal basis for the data processing: Our legitimate interest under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

Purpose: The processing of the IP address you use is necessary to deliver the website to your computer. The purpose of storing in log files is to ensure the functionality and stability of our IT system. In the purposes stated above lies our legitimate interest in data processing under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. An evaluation of the information for analytics or marketing purposes does not take place in this context."

Retention: The data will be deleted as soon as the purpose for which they were collected ceases to apply. This is the case when the respective session ends. The log files’ stored data will be deleted no later than seven days after collection.

2. Contact by email

Description and scope: If you contact us via the provided email address, the personal data transmitted will be stored. In processing your email inquiry, it may be necessary to request additional data and information from you. If you do not wish to provide the further information in such a case, there are no adverse consequences. However, it is possible that failing to provide the requested information makes handling your inquiry more difficult or impossible.

To answer your questions, depending on the matter, it may be necessary to forward data about you to the Fraunhofer Institute for Energy Infrastructures and Geotechnologies IEG (an institution of the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft zur Förderung der angewandten Forschung e.V.) or to other authorities within state administration, federal or municipal authorities.

Legal basis: The legal basis for processing the data transmitted in the course of sending an email is Art. 6(1)(e) GDPR in conjunction with § 3(1) HDSIG when we are performing a public-interest task or, if not, Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest is to respond to your email inquiry. If the email contact aims at concluding a legal relationship or relates to an existing legal relationship with us, the additional legal basis for processing is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.

Purpose: The processing serves to handle your email inquiry.

Retention: The data are deleted when the conversation ends.

3. Not accessible content reporting form

Description and scope of data processing: By submitting the provided form for reporting non-accessible content on our internet offering, the data you enter are transmitted to us and stored. At submission time, the IP address you used, and the date and time of the report, are also stored. Providing the data is voluntary. If these are mandatory fields, failure to provide them may prevent processing of the report.

Legal basis: With the reporting form we fulfill our legal obligation to provide an accessible internet offering and electronically report existing barriers per Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR in conjunction with § 4(2) No. 2 Hessian Regulation on Accessible Information Technology.

Purpose: The processing of personal data from the reporting form is used solely to handle your report.

Retention: The data are deleted as soon as they are no longer necessary for the purpose for which they were collected. For personal data from the input fields, this is the case when the respective report has been recorded and you have been answered within the statutory period (currently six weeks). After that, the data are deleted unless statutory or contractual obligations, in particular retention periods, oppose deletion. The additional personal data collected during submission are deleted no later than seven days.
