What Personal Data We Collect
Visiting the site: if you simply visit this website, we do not actively collect usage data that is unique to the individual. The server provided by the university only logs client data such as your browser, screen size, IP address and access date in order to prevent orchestrated attacks on its infrastructure. While this website does not regularly collect cookies, the humans who produced it certainly do.
Filling in the registration form: if you register online for this conference, you will be asked to enter individual data such as your name and your email address. This happens on a voluntary basis and over an encrypted connection to the server. The data you enter will be saved in a database hosted locally on a university server. Closer to the date of the conference, this data will be extracted, deleted from the online database, and subsequently managed on computers and drives managed by the university only. The attendance list will be deleted a few weeks after the event.
Entering the password: when you enter the password to unlock the links to the online conference rooms, we will save a cookie in your browser. The cookie is purely functional to make sure it is you, and we do not use it to track you. The cookie is automatically deleted from your device after three weeks.
Links to Third-Party Content
You may find links to services such as Zoom, Wonder.me, YouTube, or Twitter. All of these are configured to only collect data after you click on the respective link or approve of embedded content. In these cases, third-party privacy policies apply. The providers of our academic and social spaces (Zoom and Wonder.me) were specifically vetted for their compliance with the GDPR of the EU.
Data Sharing and Interception
We do not pass on any data to third parties without your explicit approval. While we treat your data as safely as possible, all data transfer on the web may be intercepted by, for example, telecom service providers in ways that are outside our control.
Please note that it is prohibited to use email addresses provided on this site for the purpose of unsolicited advertising, i.e. spam. If you are concerned about other sites hosted by Leipzig University, please refer to the university's general privacy policy.
