Privacy Policy

We greatly appreciate your interest in our company. Data protection is of particular importance to the management of Wissenschaftspark Gelsenkirchen Projekte gGmbH. The use of the website of Wissenschaftspark Gelsenkirchen Projekte gGmbH is generally possible without providing any personal data. However, if a data subject wishes to use specific services of our company via our website, processing of personal data may become necessary. If the processing of personal data is required and there is no legal basis for such processing, we generally obtain the consent of the data subject.

The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, email address, or telephone number of a data subject, is always carried out in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to Wissenschaftspark Gelsenkirchen Projekte gGmbH. Through this privacy policy, our company aims to inform the public about the type, scope, and purpose of the personal data we collect, use, and process. Furthermore, data subjects are informed of their rights under this privacy policy.

As the data controller, Wissenschaftspark Gelsenkirchen Projekte gGmbH has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most comprehensive protection possible of personal data processed via this website. However, internet-based data transmissions may generally have security vulnerabilities, so absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transmit personal data to us via alternative means, such as by telephone.

1. Definitions

The privacy policy of Wissenschaftspark Gelsenkirchen Projekte gGmbH is based on the terminology used by the European legislator in the adoption of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our privacy policy aims to be easy to read and understand for both the public and our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to explain the terms used in advance.

In this privacy policy, we use, among others, the following terms:

a) 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, particularly by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier, or one or more specific characteristics that express the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural, or social identity of that natural person.

b) Data Subject
A data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the data controller.

c) Processing
Processing refers to any operation or set of operations performed on personal data, whether or not by automated means. This includes collecting, recording, organizing, structuring, storing, adapting or altering, retrieving, consulting, using, disclosing by transmission, dissemination, or otherwise making available, aligning or combining, restricting, erasing, or destroying data.

d) Restriction of Processing
Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting its future processing.

e) Profiling
Profiling refers to any form of automated processing of personal data used to evaluate specific personal aspects relating to a natural person, particularly to analyze or predict aspects concerning job performance, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, location, or movements.

f) Pseudonymization
Pseudonymization is the processing of personal data in such a way that it 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 organizational measures that ensure that the personal data is not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.

g) Controller or Data Controller
The controller or data controller is the natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body that alone or jointly with others determines the purposes and means of processing 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 designation may be provided for by Union or Member State law.

h) Processor
A processor is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body that processes personal data on behalf of the controller.

i) Recipient
A recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body to whom personal data is disclosed, whether or not they are a third party. However, public authorities that may receive personal data as part of a specific investigative task under Union or Member State law are not considered recipients.

j) Third Party
A third party is 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 authorized to process personal data.

k) Consent
Consent is any freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous indication of the data subject’s wishes by which they, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signify agreement to the processing of personal data relating to them.
