Data protection
Your privacy and the protection of your research - and metadata are important to us - we respect and protect your privacy and handle your data confidentially, taking into account the applicable legal provisions and this Privacy Policy.
The term “personal data” comprises all data that can be used to personally identify you (e. g. name, institutional affiliation, postal and email address). The processing of your personal data includes the data capturing, storing, use and further processing. Your research- and metadata you submit will be collected and stored by the BonaRes Data Centre in accordance with the rules in the BonaRes Data Guideline (see BonaRes Portal: Research Data/Data Guide).
By your use of the BonaRes - Websites you agree with the processing of your personal, research and metadata in the context of this privacy policy. The uses of the BonaRes - Web pages are generally possible without providing any personal information. Some of the personal data requested for registration in the Project Portal (e.g. name, organization or email address) are optional. No user data will be disclosed to third parties without an explicit agreement of the user (Art.6 Abs.1 lit. A DSGVO).
We want to explicitly point out that data transfer on the internet (e. g. during download or in email communication) may have security gaps. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is therefore not possible and is not guaranteed.
We hereby expressly prohibit the use of the contact data published as part of our duty to publish an imprint for the purpose of sending any advertising or informational material that was not expressly requested. The service provider of the BonaRes Web-Portal reserves the right to take legal action in case of unsolicited sending of advertising and information material, for instance by spam emails.
Revocation of your consent to the processing of data
A wide range of data processing transactions are possible only subject to your express consent. You can also revoke at any time any consent you have already given us. To do so, all you are required to do is sent us an informal notification via e-mail. This shall be without prejudice to the lawfulness of any data collection that occurred prior to your revocation. The research and metadata you have posted will remain available even after the end of the BonaRes project period. The research and metadata you submit to us will remain available after the end of the BonaRes project.
Right to log a complaint with the competent supervisory agency
Furthermore, you have the right to file complaints with regulatory authorities. If there has been a breach of data protection legislation, the person affected may file a complaint with the competent regulatory authorities. The competent regulatory authority for matters related to data protection legislation is the data protection officer of Brandenburg (Germany), the state in which the ZALF is headquartered. A list of data protection officers and their contact details can be found at the following link: https://www.bfdi.bund.de/DE/Infothek/Anschriften_Links/anschriften_links-node.html.
Right to data portability
You have the right to demand that we hand over any data we automatically process on the basis of your consent or in order to fulfil a contract be handed over to you or a third party in a commonly used, machine readable format. If you should demand the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will be done only if it is technically feasible.
SSL and/or TLS encryption
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as purchase orders or inquiries you submit to us as the website operator, this website uses either an SSL or a TLS encryption program. You can recognize an encrypted connection by checking whether the address line of the browser switches from “http://” to “https://” and also by the appearance of the lock icon in the browser line.
If the SSL or TLS encryption is activated, data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
Information about, blockage, rectification and eradication of data
Within the scope of the applicable statutory provisions, you have the right to at any time demand information about your archived personal data, their source and recipients as well as the purpose of the processing of your data. You may also have a right to have your data rectified, blocked or eradicated. If you have questions about this subject matter or any other questions about personal data, please do not hesitate to contact us at any time at the address provided in the “Imprint” on our website.
