2. Personal Data
Processing of Personal Data
Each time our website is accessed, our web server automatically collects data and information from the computer system of the calling computer.
The following data is collected:
System data of the browser and operating system used by the user (if transmitted by the requesting web browser).
The IP address of the user
Date and time of access
Websites from which the user’s system accesses our website
Websites that are accessed by the user’s system via our website
This information is required to deliver the content of our website correctly, to optimize the content of our website and to ensure the long-term functionality of our IT systems and the technology of our website and is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. e. GDPR with regard to § 4 LDSG (Landesdatenschutzgesetz) as well as § 2 LHG (Landeshochschulgesetzt).
IP addresses are only recorded for the duration of the visit to enable delivery of the website to the user’s computer and are not stored beyond the end of the visit.
The remaining data is stored in the log files of our system.
These data are not processed together with other personal data of the user.
Some offers of our website (e.g. registrations for newsletters and for events, our forum, contact forms) require the collection of personal data.
Cookies
Our websites use cookies. Cookies are small text files that are stored on a computer system via a web browser. Cookies consist of a string of characters by which web pages and servers can be assigned to a specific web browser. A specific web browser can thus be recognized and identified.
The International Center for STEM Education (ICSE) uses so-called session cookies. These serve to make the internet offer more user-friendly, effective and secure (for example, you do not have to log in again on every page after logging in during a session). These purposes are also our legitimate interest in data processing according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.
The session cookies are deleted when you end the session.
In internal areas with login, which some of our pages offer, so-called persistent cookies are set. These are needed to recognize the user after successful login in subsequent sessions on the same website and ensure that the page looks consistent for the user. Persistent cookies are stored for 14 days and then deleted.
The legal basis for the temporary storage of data and log files is Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR.
You can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of an appropriate setting of the web browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Furthermore, cookies that have already been set can be deleted at any time via a web browser or other software programs. This is possible in all common web browsers. By deactivating cookies, the functionality of our websites may be limited.

Rights of the Data Subject
Every person affected by the processing of personal data has the right, in accordance with the GDPR, to request information from the controller about the personal data stored about him or her. In addition, there is a right to immediate correction of incorrect personal data concerning them or deletion, or to restriction of processing or a right to object to processing.
Consent to the processing of personal data under data protection law may be revoked at any time without affecting the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until revocation.
In addition, you may contact the competent supervisory authority if you have doubts about the lawfulness of the processing of personal data concerning you.
Deletion of Personal Data
Personal data collected by us will generally only be processed and stored for as long as is necessary to achieve the purpose of storage or as required by law or regulation.
Email Security
If you send us an e-mail, your e-mail address will only be used for correspondence with you. Please note that the data transmission of e-mails on the Internet can have security gaps. A complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.
3. Use of Third Party Services
Newsletter with CleverReach
If you would like to receive the newsletter offered on the website, we require an e-mail address from you. Via a double opt-in procedure (confirmation of your registration), we ensure that you agree to receive the newsletter.
The processing of the data entered in the newsletter registration form is based on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You can revoke your consent to the storage of the data, the e-mail address and their use for sending the newsletter at any time, for example via the “unsubscribe” link in the newsletter. The legality of the data processing operations already carried out remains unaffected by the revocation.
Your data will only be stored as long as it is necessary for the fulfilment of the purpose (sending the newsletter).
We use CleverReach to send newsletters. The provider is
CleverReach GmbH & Co. KG
Mühlenstr. 43, 26180 Rastede.
This service allows us to organize and analyze the newsletter dispatch. The data you enter to receive the newsletter, such as your e-mail address, is stored on CleverReach’s servers. Server locations are Germany and Ireland, respectively.
Sending the newsletter with CleverReach allows us to analyze the behavior of the newsletter recipient. The analysis shows, among other things, how many recipients have opened their newsletter and with what frequency links in the newsletter were clicked. CleverReach supports conversion tracking to analyze whether a previously defined action, such as a product purchase, has taken place after clicking on a link. Details on data analysis by CleverReach can be found at: https://www.cleverreach.com/de/funktionen/reporting-und-tracking/.
The data processing is based on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). A revocation of your already given consent is possible at any time. For the revocation, an informal message by email or unsubscribing via the “unsubscribe” link in the newsletter is sufficient. The legality of the data processing operations already carried out remains unaffected by the revocation.
If you do not wish to have your data analyzed by CleverReach, you should not register in the first place or you must unsubscribe from the newsletter. To unsubscribe, it is sufficient to send us an informal message by email or to unsubscribe via the “unsubscribe” link in the newsletter.
Data entered to set up the subscription will be deleted from our servers and the servers of CleverReach in the event of unsubscription. If this data has been transmitted to us for other purposes (e.g. subscription to our material collection, registration to a conference, etc.) and elsewhere, it will still remain with us. If you wish for them to be deleted, please send us an informal message by email.
Details of CleverReach’s privacy policy can be found at: https://www.cleverreach.com/de/datenschutz/.
Order Processing
In order to fully comply with the legal data protection requirements, we have concluded an order processing agreement with CleverReach.

You can deactivate the storage and use of your data here. Your browser sets an opt-out cookie, which prevents the storage of Matomo usage data. If you delete your cookies, the Matomo opt-out cookie will also be removed. When you visit our website again, the opt-out cookie must be set again to prevent the storage and use of your data.
