General information about data processing:
a) Automatic data storage:
When you visit our website, certain information is automatically created and stored.
For this purpose, our web server automatically stores data such as: the address (URL) of the accessed website Browser and browser version, the operating system used, the address (URL) of the previously visited page (referrer URL), the host name and the IP address of the device from which the date and time are accessed in files as so-called web server log files.
Web server log files are usually stored for two weeks and then automatically deleted. We do not share this data, but we cannot rule out the possibility that this data will be viewed in the event of illegal conduct.
b) Legal basis
Insofar as we obtain consent from the data subject for processing personal data, Article 6 (1) (a) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis for processing personal data. When processing personal data that is necessary to fulfill a contract to which the data subject is a party, Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures. Insofar as processing of personal data is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation to which the University of Vienna is subject, Article 6 (1) (c) GDPR serves as the legal basis.
In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Article 6 (1) (d) GDPR serves as the legal basis. If processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of the University of Vienna or of a third party and if the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the former interest, Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing.
If data is processed by the University of Vienna in the area of science and research, the University of Vienna reserves the right to use provisions of the Research Organization Act (FOG) as appropriate legal bases in addition to the legal bases set out above. This also applies in connection with a declaration of consent (broad consent) with regard to the special provisions in accordance with Section 2d (3) FOG.

Security measures to protect the data we store:
We use encryption to securely transfer data over the Internet. By using TLS (Transport Layer Security), an encryption protocol for secure data transmission over the Internet, we can ensure the protection of confidential data. You can recognize the use of this data transfer security by the small lock icon at the top left of the browser and the use of the https scheme (instead of http) as part of our Internet address.
We are committed to protecting your privacy and keeping your personal information confidential. In order to prevent manipulation, loss or misuse of your data stored by us, we take extensive technical and organizational security measures, which are regularly checked and adapted to technological progress. This includes the use of recognized encryption methods (TLS). However, we would like to point out that due to the structure of the Internet, it is possible that the rules of data protection and the above security measures may not be observed by other persons or institutions outside our area of responsibility. In particular, unencrypted data — e.g. if this is done by e-mail — can be read by third parties. We have no technical influence on this. It is the responsibility of the user to protect the data provided by him/her against misuse by means of encryption or in any other way.
