3. General information on data processing

We only collect and use the personal data of our users insofar as this is necessary to provide a functional website as well as our content and services and a legal basis allows us to do so.

Legal basis for the processing of personal data
Insofar as we obtain the data subject's consent for the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing of personal data.

Insofar as the processing of personal data is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation to which the Dortmund University of Applied Sciences is subject, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR as the legal basis.

In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. d GDPR serves as the legal basis.

If processing is necessary for the performance of a task that is in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority that has been assigned to the Dortmund University of Applied Sciences, Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. e GDPR as the legal basis for processing. If processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of Dortmund University of Applied Sciences or a third party and if the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the person concerned do not outweigh the first-mentioned interest, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR as the legal basis for processing. This does not apply insofar as the Dortmund University of Applied Sciences acts as a sovereign in the processing.

The personal data of the person concerned will only be stored by us for as long as the purpose of the storage exists. If the processing is based on the consent of the data subject, the data will only be stored until the data subject withdraws their consent, unless there is another legal basis for the processing.

The person concerned has the right to request that we immediately correct any incorrect personal data concerning him. The data subject also has the right to request that we delete the personal data relating to him immediately as soon as the purpose of the storage ceases to apply or if the processing is based on the data subject's consent, if the data subject withdraws his consent and no other legal basis for the processing consists.

The data subject's personal data will continue to be deleted if he / she Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR objects to the processing and there are no overriding legitimate reasons for the processing if the personal data has been processed unlawfully or if the deletion to fulfill a legal obligation by the European or national legislator in regulations to which the university of applied sciences Dortmund is subject to, was provided.

However, deletion does not take place in the cases described above if the processing of the personal data is necessary so that the Dortmund University of Applied Sciences can fulfill a legal obligation imposed on it by the European or national legislator or if the processing is used to perform a task of the Fachhochschule Dortmund takes place in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority, which has been transferred to the Dortmund University of Applied Sciences or if the further storage of personal data is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.

Right of withdrawal
If the processing of personal data is based on the consent of the data subject, they can withdraw their consent at any time. The processing of personal data up to the revocation remains legal despite the revocation.

Ritght of information
