3. Data processing and processing purposes
For each visit to the website by a data subject or an automated system, the website collects a series of general data and information. These general data and information are stored on the log files of the server. The following are collected: (1) the type and version of the browser used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (HTTPS referer), (4) the subsites that are accessed on our website via an accessing system, (5) the date and time of access to our website, (6) the Internet Protocol address (IP-address) with the final digits removed to make it anonymous and (7) other similar data and information that facilitate an emergency response in case of attacks on our information technology systems.
In using these general data and information, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin makes no inferences about the data subject. This information is necessary in order (1) to correctly provide the contents of our website, (2) to optimize the contents of our website, (3) to ensure the continuous functionality of our IT system and the technology of our website and (4) to provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for criminal prosecution in the case of a cyber attack. These anonymously recorded data and information are evaluated by Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin statistically as well as with the goal of increasing data protection and data security at our institution in order to ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.
If a data subject contacts the data controller via email or contact form, the personal data of that data subject are automatically stored. These personal data, provided voluntarily by a data subject, are stored for the purpose of processing or of contacting the data subject. These personal data are not shared with a third party.

Moreover, there is a right to the rectification of inaccurate personal data without undue delay and a right to erasure; there is also a right to restriction of processing and a right to object to processing.
Consent to the processing of personal data can be withdrawn at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
There is a right to keep the personal data provided by the data subject in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, and to transmit it to another controller.
Furthermore without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, complaints can be submitted to a Member State supervisory authority if there are any doubts about the lawfulness of the processing of personal data.
