Privacy Policy - Global Young Academy | Global Young Academy
The following information describes how the Global Young Academy (GYA) c/o Leopoldina – National Academy of Sciences processes your personal data.
The person responsible for the processing of your personal data according to the data protection regulations is:
Represented by Dr. Beate Wagner
Phone: +49 345 47239 172
Fax: +49 345 47239 170
As a global institution, the GYA strives to protect the information and data entrusted to it. Data protection principles such as data minimization, transparency and security are therefore one of our top priorities.
We have several automated systems for managing, storing and processing our members’ data through which we aim at different purposes (such as sending newsletters). Your personal data will be deleted or blocked by us as soon as the purpose of storage and processing ceases, provided that further storage is not demanded by legal obligations or legal claims that can be asserted against us.
On the one hand, your data will be collected by us, for example when using our contact form. On the other hand, data is automatically collected when you visit our website. This is above all technical data (for example Internet browser, operating system or time of the page call, IP address). The legal basis for processing your IP address is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. The collection of this data is automatic as soon as you enter our website. We generally store your IP address anonymously. A complete storage of the IP address only occurs for the traceability of technical errors and hacker attacks as well as for the recording of consent, e.g. in the newsletter subscription, attempts to login to your userprofile.
In the case of smartphones, tablets and other mobile devices, if applicable, manufacturer / type designation, storage of personal data is not carried out. Neither will we combine this data with other data sources.
Part of the data is collected to ensure a flawless delivery of the website. Other data can be used to analyze your user behavior. The legal basis is the existence of a legitimate interest acc. Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR.
We do not share your personal information with third parties, unless you have consented to the data transfer or we are entitled or obliged to share data due to statutory provisions and / or official or judicial orders. This may, in particular, be the provision of information for the purpose of law enforcement, security or the enforcement of intellectual property rights.
You are entitled at any time to claim your rights to us as the concerned subject. If the respective legal requirements are met, the following rights apply:
Right to rectification (right to correction of incorrect data or to complete data) acc. Art. 16 EU GDPR
Right to erasure (‘right to be forgotten’) acc. Art. 17 EU GDPR
Right to objection / revocation of consent acc. Art. 21 EU GDPR
Right to complain to the supervisory authority acc. 13 para. 2 lit. d) EU GDPR
Access, transferability
You have the right access the data stored with us about your person at any time. Furthermore, you have the right to access your data as provided to us or have it be transferred to a third party at any time.
If you would like to receive information about your stored data or wish to transfer data, please contact us in writing: media@globalyoungacademy.net
Please note that we can only transfer data based on consent or a contract.
At your request, we will correct, block or delete the data stored about you, unless other legal regulations (for example, obligations under the Commercial Code) do not preclude this. Please write to
Revocation of consent / objection
If you have given us your consent to the processing of your personal information, you can withdraw it at any time by a short written notice. Please contact us in writing at
You may object or revoke your consent to the use of your data for promotional purposes at any time by sending a brief written notice to

Phone: +49 391 81803-0
Article 20 of the GDPR establishes a new right to data portability, which, although closely linked to the right of access, nevertheless differs from it in many respects. Affected persons are therefore entitled to receive the personal data they have provided to a responsible person in a structured, common and machine-readable format and to transmit this data to another person responsible. The purpose of this new right is to give the data subject the power to do so and give them more control over the personal data concerning them.
3. Special website functionality provided by the GYA’s website
Through our website you have the possibility to subscribe to a free newsletter, with which we want to inform you about activities of the GYA. See below under “Privacy and Third Party Services” – “Mailchimp – Newsletter” for more information.
The GYA website offers a contact form, which can be used for electronic contact. If a user uses this option, the data entered in the input mask will be transmitted to us and saved. These details your name, your email address and the content of your message. Furthermore, your IP address and the date and time of the submission of the form are logged.

Alternatively, contact via the provided email address(es) is possible. In this case, the user’s personal data transmitted by email will be stored. In this context, the data will not be disclosed to third parties. The data is used exclusively for processing the conversation.
The option to register a user account on the GYA website is closed. This means that only GYA members and alumni are entitled to such a profile. Certain data is publically displayed as part of a user’s membership. The data displayed can be edited at any point in time (save and show less data, or complete missing data) by the user. Should you wish for the GYA to change displayed user data for you please contact us in writing at
