2. General notes and mandatory information

The operators of these sites take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and according to data protection legislation and this privacy policy.

When you use this website, various personal data is collected. Personal data is data that can be used to identify you personally. This Privacy Statement explains what data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this happens.

We would like to point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g. when communicating via e-mail) may have security gaps. A complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

Note on the responsible body

The data controller on this website is:

Dr. Ömer Alkin
Philipps University of Marburg
Institute of Media Studies
Wilhelm-Röpke Str. 6
35039 Marburg

Phone: +49 6421 2824679
Email: occiden@uni-marburg.de

The controller is the natural or legal person who decides alone or jointly with others on the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.B. names, e-mail addresses, etc.).

Storage time

Unless a more specific storage period has been specified within this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for the data processing is no longer established. If you make a legitimate request for deletion or revoke your consent to the processing of data, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible grounds for storing your personal data (e.g. .B. tax or commercial retention periods); in the latter case, the deletion shall take place after the abolition of these grounds.

Note on data transfer to the USA and other third countries

Our website includes, among other things, tools from companies based in the United States or other non-secure third countries that are not covered by data protection law. If these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in these third countries. We would like to point out that no level of data protection comparable to the EU can be guaranteed in these countries. For example, U.S. companies are required to disclose personal information to security agencies without you, as a person concerned, being able to take legal action against it. It cannot therefore be ruled out that US authorities (e.g. intelligence agencies) process, evaluate and permanently store your data on US servers for surveillance purposes. We have no influence on these processing activities.
