In case you have any questions about data protection law or your rights as the data subject, you may directly contact our data protection officer.
You may access our website without having to disclose any details of your identity. Your terminal device’s browser automatically sends only the information needed to establish a connection to our website (e.g., browser type and version, date and time of access). This also includes the IP address of your requesting terminal device. Your IP address is temporarily stored in a so-called log file and automatically deleted after 4 days.
The IP address is processed for technical and administrative purposes regarding connection set-up and stability, to guarantee the security and functioning of our website and to be able to track any illegal attacks on the website, if required.
The legal basis for processing the IP address is the first sentence of point (f) of Article 6(1) GDPR. Our legitimate interest ensues from said security interest and the necessity of the unobstructed availability of our website.
We cannot draw any direct conclusions about your identity from processing the IP address and other information in the log file. Moreover, we use tracking pixel and analytics services when you visit our website. For more information on this, please refer to clauses 4 of this Data Protection Policy.
We offer a variety of events through our website on a regular basis, for which you may register online. When registering for an event, you need to enter the following mandatory data. These include:
Any other mandatory data are marked as such (e.g. with *). Besides, other data may often be entered voluntarily.
The mandatory data is processed in order to identify the interested persons as participants of the event, to perform the participation contract, and to provide the participants with information pertaining to the event before, during and after the event. The voluntary data allows us to plan and execute the event based on interest and age criteria.
Data processing takes place at the request of the interested participants and is necessary pursuant to the first sentence of article 6(1)(b) GDPR for the purposes mentioned for the performance of the participation contract and in order to take steps prior to entering into it.
We store the data we collect in the context of event registrations for 6 months unless you have consented to a longer storage period under article 6(1)(a) GDPR.
For the registration of our events through our web forms, we work in collaboration with the service provider Positive Group Chemnitz GmbH, Schönherrstr. 8, 09113 Chemnitz, Germany (“Mailingwork”). The purpose of the collaboration is to professionally manage online registrations. For this purpose, the entered data is stored on the servers of Mailingwork in Germany.
We have concluded a data processing agreement with the service provider. By this agreement, the service provider assures that it will process the data on our account in accordance with the GDPR and guarantees the protection of the data's rights.
In addition, it may in some cases be necessary within the scope of contract performance to transfer your personal data to an external organizer. In connection with an event registration, you will be informed about who the organizer is and whether it is an external organizer. This organizer will process personal data within the scope of the event and especially for the management of participants.
We offer an ordering service on our website that allows you to order annual reports or the Fraunhofer magazine free of charge as a single copy or as a subscription. To order these, we collect the following mandatory data
You may also voluntarily provide additional data (e.g. title, company, department) and provide specifics for your order.
The collection and further processing of this data take place in order
Data processing takes place at your request and is necessary pursuant to the first sentence of article 6(1)(b) GDPR for the purposes mentioned for the fulfilment of your order and to take steps prior to entering into the contract.
We work in collaboration with a service provider, Wolanski GmbH, Ernst-Robert-Curtius-Str. 6, 53117 Bonn-Buschdorf, Germany, (“Wolanski”), for processing your order. We manually submit your data to it for your goods to be dispatched. After completion of the order, the service provider will automatically delete the data.
We have concluded a data processing agreement with Wolanski. By this agreement, Wolanski assures that it will process the data on our account in accordance with the GDPR and guarantees the protection of rights of the data subjects.
The personal data we collect for the order is stored with us for as long as is necessary for the performance of the contract and compliance with mandatory statutory legal obligations applicable to us. If you have ordered a subscription, we will store your data until the termination of the subscription. In case of one-time orders, we will delete your personal data after completion of the delivery.
On various occasions, we offer on our website the option to register for a newsletter or press distribution list. If you have expressly given your consent pursuant to the first sentence of article 6(1)(a) GDPR, we will use your email address to regularly send you information corresponding to your selection. To receive the information, an email address and the desired language version is sufficient.
You may provide additional personal data voluntarily (e.g., name, address and phone number). We use this data to contact you by phone or mail (e.g., for press invitations).
You will then receive a registration notification by email, in which you need to confirm your email address to be able to receive the newsletter (so-called double opt-in). This helps us verify that it is actually you who have initiated the registration.
Unsubscribing is possible at any time, e.g., via a link at the end of each press newsletter. Alternatively, you may also send your unsubscribing request to datenschutz@zv.fraunhofer.de by email.
After withdrawing your consent for sending the newsletter, your email address will be deleted immediately.
We send our newsletter by means of the service provider Positive Group Chemnitz GmbH, Schönherrstr. 8, 09113 Chemnitz ("Mailingwork"). The email addresses and data of our newsletter recipients are stored on our behalf on the servers of Mailingwork in Germany.
Mailingwork uses this information to send and evaluate the newsletter on our behalf. For this purpose, we have concluded a data processing agreement with Mailingwork. By means of this agreement, Mailingwork assures that it processes the data in accordance with the GDPR and guarantees the protection of the data subjects’ rights.
Mailingwork assures that personal data is fully protected against unauthorized access. Mailingwork itself does not use the data of our newsletter recipients to contact to them or to transfer the data to third parties. As a reliable email sender, Mailingwork is also certified by the Certified Senders Alliance.

On our website www.maps.fraunhofer.de we embed the maps from OpenStreetMap. OpenStreetMap is a project of the OpenStreetMap Foundation, 132 Maney Hill Road, Sutton Coldfield, West Midlands B72 1JU, Great Britain, which collects public domain geodata and provides them in a database for free use.
When you visit the website, initially no connection to OpenStreetMap’s servers is established. Instead of the embedded maps, you are initially shown only a preview image that we retrieve from our web server.
For any subsequent interaction on this website (such as a search by institute, region, continent, organizational unit), you are connected to the OpenStreetMap Foundation’s servers, and data on the OpenStreetMap Foundation are transmitted in order to display embedded maps. Additional information concerning data protection in connection with OpenStreet Map can be found in the Privacy Policy of OpenStreetMap Foundation.
When connection is established to display the maps, the following data is transmitted to OpenStreetMap’s servers:
If you have a user account with OpenStreetMap and are logged in when you visit our website, the following additional data will be transmitted to OpenStreetMap’s servers:
Embedding is done on the basis of article 6(1)(f) GDPR and with the purpose of making our website more user-friendly and interesting. This may be regarded as a legitimate interest within the meaning of the aforementioned provision.

Additional information on data protection in connection with OpenStreetMap may be found here.
Except for the aforementioned cases (registration for events, using the ordering service, subscription to a newsletter), we forward your personal data to third parties only if:
Our website uses the Leadlab service provided by Wiredminds GmbH and its tracking pixel technology to analyze user behavior and optimize our site accordingly. In particular, this service allows us to identify which companies have visited our site. In doing so, we do not obtain any information that may identify you directly.
The use of Leadlab involves tracking pixels that allow statistical analysis regarding the use of this website based on your visits. Wiredminds uses a pseudonym to process the information in a usage profile for the purpose of analysis. The data is anonymized to the extent possible.
Without your specific permission, we neither use the data collected to identify you personally nor will we combine the data with personal data pertaining to the pseudonym associated with you.
If IP addresses are collected, they are immediately anonymized after collection by deleting the last number block.

We use so-called social media buttons (also called social media plug-ins) on our website. These are small buttons by means of which you may publish the contents of our website in your profile on social networks.
If you activate such a button, a connection is established between our website and the social network. In addition to the contents in question, the operator of the social network also obtains additional, partly personal, information. For instance, it includes the fact that you are currently visiting our site.
The social media buttons are integrated using the so-called Shariff solution. This solution developed by Heise and c’t prevents a connection with a social network from being established just because you access a page with a social media button, without actually activating it. This means that information is sent to the social network only when you press the button.
We use the following social media plug-ins:
