It is part of the Hamburg Ministry of Science, Research and Euqalities (Behörde für Wissenschaft, Forschung und Gleichstellung) and is subject to its supervision. The state enterprise is represented by the deputy director Dr. Petra Blödorn-Meyer on a temporary basis.
The temporary storage of data and log files is lawful pursuant to Art. 6 (1) s. 1 lit. f General Data Protection Regulation (Datenschutz-Grundverordnung, hereafter DSGVO).
Our legitimate interest in data processing derives from the purposes of rapidly establishing the connection to the website, enabling a user-friendly use of the website, recognizing and ensuring the security and stability of the systems and facilitating and improving the administration of the website.
The processing expressly does not take place for the purpose of gaining knowledge about your person.
Further storage is possible if required by further purposes. These purposes include the evaluation of error logs which log incorrect page views, and internal statistical applications. This serves to improve our offer, to recognize errors and to adapt our offer to user needs. The data is stored exclusively on servers operated by us. In this case, however, the IP addresses of the users are anonymized if possible, so that an assignment of the calling client is no longer possible. The legal basis for storing the above data and log files is Art. 6 (1) s. 1 lit. f DSGVO.
For some uses of our offer you have to register and later enter your user data assigned after registration to register for the use of the corresponding online services. Which personal data is transmitted is determined by the respective input mask used for registration.
During the registration process the user’s consent to the processing of this data will be obtained if necessary. As a rule however, data processing is carried out according to Art. 6 (1) s. 1 lit. b DSGVO and par. 4 Hamburg Higher Aducation Act (Hamburgisches Hochschulgesetz - HmbHG).
Registration of the user is required for the provision of certain contents and use of certain services on our website.

The legal basis for the processing of personal data using cookies is Art. 6 (1) s. 1 lit. f DSGVO.

In other cases, personal data will not be passed on to third parties.
The website of the journal server uses AWStats, an open source software for the analysis and statistical evaluation of visitor access. This software runs on our own servers and only uses anonymized IP addresses for statistical analysis. AWStats does not use "cookies", i.e. Cookies are small data files, created and stored by the Internet browser on your computer’s hard drive. This means that no personal user data is passed on to third parties.
The information determined by the software is used to evaluate the use of the offer. The legal basis for the processing of data is Art. 6 (1) s. 1 lit. f DSGVO.

to complain to a supervisory authority pursuant to Art. 77 DSGVO. As a rule, you can contact the supervisory authority of your usual place of residence or work for this purpose.
If your personal data are processed on the basis of legitimate interests pursuant to Art. (1) s. 1 lit. f DSGVO, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data pursuant to Art. 21 DSGVO, provided that there are reasons for this which arise from your particular situation or the objection is directed against direct advertising. In the latter case, you have a general right of objection which we will implement without specifying a particular situation.
We use suitable technical and organisational security measures (so-called TOM) to protect our users' data against accidental or intentional manipulation, partial or complete loss, destruction or unauthorised access by third parties. Our websites are hosted partly on our own servers, partly on servers of a host based in Germany with whom we have concluded an agreement for order processing.
We generally use SSL encryption (Secure Socket Layer) in conjunction with the highest level of encryption supported by your browser when you visit our website. Usually this is a 256 bit encryption. Whether a single page of our website is transmitted in encrypted form can be seen from the closed display of the key or lock symbol in the status bar of your browser.
We would like to point out that complete data security cannot be guaranteed when communicating by email during transmission and recommend that confidential information should be sent by post.
