XI. Rights of data subject
The German National Library takes the protection of your personal data very seriously. You have the right to know which data is collected, when it is collected, and how it is processed. We have implemented technical and organisational measures to ensure that data protection regulations are complied with.
Amendments to this data protection declaration may become necessary as we develop our website and implement new technologies in order to improve the service we offer you. For this reason, we recommend you reread this data protection declaration from time to time.
Data controller within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG), and other data protection legislation:
Federal institution with legal capacity under public law, represented by its Director General
Telephone: +49 69 1525-0
In general, we only process personal data collected from our users insofar as this is necessary for the provision of a functional web presence and our content and services. As a rule, personal data provided by our users is only processed with their consent. Exceptions apply in cases where the user’s prior consent cannot be obtained on factual grounds and statutory regulations permit the processing of personal data.
Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR serves as the legal basis whenever we obtain a data subject's consent to the processing of his/her personal data.
Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR serves as the legal basis when processing personal data for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party. The same applies to any processing measures that are required if steps are to be taken before entering into a contract.
Art. 6 para. 1 lit. e GDPR serves as the legal basis when the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest; this includes the law regarding the German National Library.
Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR serves as the legal basis when processing is necessary to safeguard the legitimate interests of the German National Library or a third party, and provided these legitimate interests are not outweighed by the data subject’s interests and fundamental rights and freedoms.
The data subject's personal data is erased or blocked as soon as the purpose for which it was stored ceases to apply. Personal data may also be stored if so specified by European or national legislators in EU regulations, laws or other provisions to which the data controller is subject. In such instances, personal data is blocked or erased when a storage period specified in any of the above-named legislation expires, unless the data has to be retained for longer in order to conclude or execute a contract.
Every time our website is accessed, our system automatically collects data and information from the accessing computer system. The following data is collected:
(5) Date and time at which the website was accessed
(6) Web pages accessed through our website by the user's system
This data is also stored in our system’s log files. However, it is not stored together with any other personal data pertaining to the user.
Temporary storage of the user’s IP address by the system is necessary in order to facilitate website transmission to the user's computer. The user’s IP address accordingly has to be stored for the duration of the session.
This data is stored in log files in order to safeguard the functionality of the website. We also use the data to optimise our web presence and safeguard the security of our information technology systems. Data collected in this context is not evaluated for marketing purposes.
The purposes specified above also constitute our legitimate interest in processing the data pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.
The data is erased as soon as it is no longer required to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected. When data is collected in order to provide a website, this is the case when the respective session ends.
Data stored in log files is erased after no more than 14 days. However, data can be stored for longer periods. In such cases, the user’s IP address is erased or masked so that it can no longer be associated with the accessing client.
The collection of data for web presence provision and the storage of data in log files are absolutely essential to the operation of the website. The user is therefore unable to exercise any right to object in this context.
Our web presence uses cookies. Cookies are text files stored in the user’s web browser or by the web browser on the user’s computer system. Whenever a user accesses a website, a cookie can be stored on the computer’s operating system. This cookie contains a typical string of characters that enables the browser to be clearly identified when the user returns to the web presence at a future time.
We use cookies to make our website more user-friendly. Some elements on our web presence require the accessing browser to be identified after the user has moved to another web page.

In these cases, it is essential that the browser is also recognised after accessing another page. The user data collected by these technically necessary cookies is not used to generate user profiles.
These purposes also constitute our legitimate interest in processing personal data pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.
Cookies are stored on the user’s computer, from where they are sent to our website. This means that you as the user have complete control over the use of cookies. You can deactivate or restrict the transfer of cookies by changing your web browser settings. Cookies already stored can be deleted at any time. This can also be effected automatically.

The data is erased as soon as it is no longer required to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected. All data collected from the user is accordingly stored for as long as the newsletter subscription is active.
Users can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time. Each newsletter contains a link for this purpose.
We offer users the possibility to register on our website by entering their personal data. In doing so, the data is entered into an input mask, transmitted to us and stored.

The following data is also stored at the time the user registers:
(6) Name of the institution/company if applicable

The legal basis for processing data that is transmitted when sending an e-mail is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.
Personal data entered into the input mask is processed solely for the purpose of responding to correspondence. This also constitutes the required legitimate interest in processing the data in cases where contact is made by e-mail.
Additional data is processed during transmission in order to prevent improper use of the contact form and safeguard the security of our information technology systems.
As the user, you are entitled to withdraw your consent to the processing of your personal data at any time. Users who contact us by e-mail can object to the storage of their personal data at any time. If this right is exercised, it will no longer be possible to continue the correspondence.
We use services provided by etracker GmbH from Hamburg, Germany, to analyse usage data. These services use cookies that facilitate a statistical analysis of the use of this web presence together with the display of usage-related content or advertising.

Moreover, etracker has been independently audited, certified, and awarded the data protection seal of quality.
Our legitimate interest is the optimisation of our online services and web presence. Since the privacy of our visitors is particularly important to us, etracker anonymises user IP addresses as early as possible, while log-in and device ID information is converted into a unique code that cannot be identified with any specific person. etracker does not utilise this data in any other way, amalgamate it with other data, or transmit it to any third party.

The legal basis for processing the user's personal data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.
Processing personal data enables us to analyse the browsing behaviour of our users. Evaluations of the data collected allow us to compile information about the use of individual components on our web presence. This helps us to continue improving our website and make it more user-friendly. These purposes also constitute our legitimate interest in processing the data pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The user’s interest in the protection of his/her personal data is duly taken into account by anonymising the IP address.

Whenever your personal data is processed, you are a data subject as defined in the General Data Protection Regulation and you have the following rights vis-à-vis the controller:
You can request the data controller to confirm whether your personal data is being processed.
If this is the case, you can request the controller to provide the following information:
(3) the recipients or categories of recipient to whom your personal data has been or is to be disclosed;
(4) the envisaged period for which your personal data will be stored, or, if no specific information can be provided, the criteria used to determine that period;
(5) the existence of a right to request the controller to rectify or erase your personal data, to restrict the controller’s processing of your personal data, or to object to such processing;
(7) where the personal data is not collected from the data subject, any available information as to its source. You also have the right to request information as to whether your personal data is to be transferred to a third country or an international organisation. If this is the case, you can also request information concerning the safeguards provided for the transfer of personal data in accordance with Art. 46 GDPR.
You have the right to request the controller to rectify and/or complete your personal data insofar as that of your personal data being processed is incorrect or incomplete. If this is the case, the controller must rectify the data immediately.
You are entitled to request restrictions on the processing of your personal data in the following circumstances:
(1) if you contest the accuracy of your personal data for a period enabling the controller to verify its accuracy;
(2) if your personal data is being processed unlawfully, you refuse to have it deleted and instead demand restrictions on the processing of your personal data;
(3) if the controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes for which it was processed but you still need it for the establishment, exercise, or defence of legal claims; or
(4) if you have objected to the processing of your data pursuant to Article 21 para. 1 GDPR and it has not yet been established whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override yours.
If the processing of your personal data has been restricted, this data may – with the exception of storage – only be processed with your consent, or to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims, or to protect the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of important public interest within the EU or an EU member state.
If you have obtained restriction of processing under the conditions specified above, you will be informed by the controller before the restriction of processing is lifted.
You may request the controller to erase your personal data without delay, in which case the controller is obliged to erase the data without delay where one of the following grounds applies:
(2) You withdraw the consent on which the processing is based pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a GDPR, and there are no other legal grounds for the processing.
(3) You object to the processing of your data pursuant to Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or you object to the processing of your data pursuant to Art. 21 para. 2 GDPR.
(5) Your personal data has to be erased for compliance with a legal obligation in EU or member state law to which the controller is subject.
(6) Your personal data has been collected in connection with the offer of information society services referred to in Art. 8 para. 1 GDPR.
If the controller has made your personal data public and is obliged pursuant to Art. 17 para. 1 GDPR to erase it, the controller, taking account of the technology available and the cost of implementation, must take reasonable steps, including technical measures, to inform controllers who are processing your personal data that you, as the data subject, have requested the erasure of any links to, or copy or replication of, your personal data.
(2) for compliance with a legal obligation according to which processing is required by EU or member state law to which the controller is subject, or for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest, or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller;
(3) for reasons of public interest in the area of public health pursuant to Art. 9 para. 2 lit. h, i and Art. 9 para. 3 GDPR;
(4) for archiving purposes in the public interest, for scientific or historical research purposes, or for statistical purposes pursuant to Art. 89 para. 1 GDPR, insofar as the right referred to in point a is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the achievement of the objectives of the processing; or
If you exercise your right to rectification or erasure of personal data or restriction of processing, the controller is obliged to communicate this to all recipients to whom your personal data has been disclosed unless this proves impossible or involves disproportionate effort.
The controller is obliged to inform you about these recipients if so requested.
You have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to any processing of your personal data effected on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. e or f GDPR.
If this right is exercised, the controller will cease processing your personal data unless he/she can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights and freedoms, or if the data has to be processed for the establishment, exercise, or defence of legal claims.
7. Right to withdraw the declaration of consent provided in compliance with data protection legislation
You have the right to withdraw your declaration of consent under data protection law at any time. The withdrawal of your consent will not affect the lawfulness of processing effected on the basis of your consent before it is withdrawn.
Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the member state of your habitual residence, place of work, or place of the alleged violation, if you consider that the processing of your personal data violates the GDPR.
