Privacy Policy

The security and protection of your personal data is of the utmost importance to us. We process your data in accordance with the applicable data protection regulations, including the EU General Data Protection Regulation, the Telecommunications Act and the Data Protection Act. This privacy policy provides you with an overview of the key aspects of data processing on our website.

WHAT IS PERSONAL DATA?

Personal data is any information that refers to an identifiable real person. This data is considered personal as soon as it is sufficient to identify a specific person on the basis of this information, whether by assigning a user ID or other means. Examples of personal data are your name, your address, your telephone number or your date of birth. Statistical information that cannot be directly or indirectly linked to a specific person, such as the popularity of certain pages on our website or the total number of users of a page, is not considered personal data.

WHAT PERSONAL DATA DO WE COLLECT AND FOR WHAT PURPOSE DO WE USE IT?

Newsletter:
We offer you the option of subscribing to our newsletter via our website. This requires registration by e-mail and your explicit consent to receive the newsletter.

Based on your consent, we process the personal data you voluntarily provide for the purpose of sending you information about the Healthy Minds project. This information includes relevant project updates, invitations to professional events, networking events and, if applicable, surveys during the project.

You have the option to withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us, for example by email or by clicking on the unsubscribe link in the footer of our emails. If you withdraw your consent, the data previously stored about you will be anonymized and subsequently only used for statistical purposes without personal reference. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

In order to provide you with targeted project information, we may collect and process further information voluntarily provided by you (e.g. areas of interest and research) in connection with the sending of newsletters by e-mail.

The personal data collected and processed when you register for our information tools only includes your e-mail address.

HOW LONG WILL MY PERSONAL DATA BE STORED?

We do not store your data for longer than we need it for the respective processing purposes. If the data is no longer required for the fulfillment of contractual or legal obligations, it will be deleted. Below are the retention periods specified by us:
