III. General information on data processing

1. Scope of processing personal data

Data protection is an important concern for the Frankfurt Institute of Clinical Cancer Research. We therefore also attach great importance to data-saving and user friendly data processing. This data protection declaration also refers to the processing of personal data and information within the meaning of § 25 TTDSG in the scope of this website, including the services offered there.
We collect and use personal data of the users of our website only to the extent necessary for the provision of a functional website, our content and services. The collection and use of personal data of our users is in principle only after consent. An exception to this principle applies in cases where the processing of data is permitted by legal regulations or where obtaining prior consent is not possible for factual reasons.

2. Legal basis of processing personal data
The legal foundation for the processing of personal data results by Art. 6 DSGVO “Lawfulness of processing”,

  • when obtaining the consent of the data subject.
  • in the case of processing operations that serve to fulfill a contract to which the data subject is a party. Including processing operations that are necessary for the performance of pre-contractual measures.
  • for processing operations that are necessary for the fulfillment of a legal obligation.
  • if vital interests of the data subject or another natural person make processing of personal data necessary.
  • if the processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not override the former interest.

3. Data deletion and storage
The users’ personal data will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of the storage no longer applies. Storage beyond this may take place, if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in Union regulations, laws or other regulations to which the responsible party is subject. Data will also be blocked or deleted if the prescribed storage period expires unless there is a need for further storage of the data for the conclusion or performance of a contract.

IV. Use of our website, general information

1. Description and scope of data processing
Each time our website is accessed, our system automatically collects data and information from the user’s computer system. The following information is collected in the process:

  • Information about the browser type and the version used,
  • The operating system of the user,
  • The user’s Internet service provider,
  • 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.

The described data is stored in the log files of our system. This data is not stored together with other personal data of the user.

2. Purpose and legal basis for data processing
The temporary storage of the IP address by our system is necessary to enable delivery of the website to the user’s computer. For this purpose, the user’s IP address must remain stored for the duration of the session. The storage in log files is done to ensure the functionality of the website. In addition, we use the data to optimize the website and to ensure the security of our information technology systems. An evaluation of the data for marketing purposes does not take place in this context. The legal basis for the temporary storage of the data and the log files is by Art. 6 DSGVO “Lawfulness of processing”. The collection of your personal data for the provision of our website and the storage of the data in log files is mandatory for the operation of the website. Therefore, there is no possibility for the user to object.

3. Storage period
Your data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer required to achieve the purpose for which they were collected. If your data is collected to ensure the provision of the website, the data will be deleted when the respective session has ended. If your data is stored in log files, it will be deleted after seven days at the latest. Storage beyond this period is possible, in which case the IP addresses of the users are deleted or alienated. An assignment of the calling client is thus no longer possible.

V. General information on the use of cookies

We use cookies on our website. Cookies are text files that are stored in the Internet browser or by the Internet browser on the user’s computer system. When you access a website, a cookie may be stored on your operating system. This contains a characteristic string of characters that enables the browser to be uniquely identified, when the website is called up again. The legal basis for the processing of personal data using cookies results from Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. The purpose of the use of technically necessary cookies is to simplify the use of our website. Cookies are stored on the user’s computer and transmitted from it to our site. As a user, you consequently have control over the use of cookies. You can restrict or deactivate the transmission of cookies by making changes in the settings of your Internet browser.

VI. Data transfer outside the EU

The GDPR ensures an equally high level of data protection within the European Union. When selecting our service providers, we therefore rely on European partners (whereever possible), if your personal data is to be processed. Only in exceptional cases data will be processed outside the European Union in the context of using third-party services. We will only allow your data to be processed in a third country if the special requirements of Art. 44 et seq. DSGVO are fulfilled. This means that the processing of your data may then only take place on the basis of special guarantees, such as the officially recognized determination by the EU Commission of a level of data protection corresponding to the EU or the observance of officially recognized special contractual obligations, the so-called “standard data protection clauses”.

VII. Your (data subject) rights

  4. If the reasons outlined in Art. 17 DSGVO apply, you may request that the personal data concerning you be deleted without delay. We would like to point out that the right to erasure does not exist insofar as the processing is necessary for one of the exceptional circumstances mentioned in Art. 17 (3).
  5. If you have asserted the right to rectification, erasure or restriction of processing, we are obliged to inform all recipients to whom the personal data concerning you have been disclosed of this rectification or erasure of the data or restriction of processing, unless this proves impossible or involves a disproportionate effort. Furthermore, you have the right to be informed about these recipients.
  6. According to the GDPR, you also have the right to receive the personal data concerning you that has been provided to us in a structured, common and machine-readable format or to request its transfer to another controller.
  7. You have the right to revoke your declaration of consent under data protection law at any time. We would like to point out that the revocation of the consent does not affect the lawfulness of the consent until the revocation for the processing that took place.
  8. Furthermore, you have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of personal data relating to you which is carried out on the basis of Article 6(1)(e) or (f) DSGVO.
  9. According to the EU General Data Protection Regulation, you also have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing – including profiling – which produces legal effects vis-à-vis you or similarly significantly affects you.

Furthermore, data can also be stored in the usage profiles regardless of the devices used by the users (especially if the users are members of the respective platforms and are logged in to them). The processing of the personal data of the users is based on our legitimate interests in effective information of the users and communication with the users pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. DSGVO. If the users are asked by the respective providers for consent to data processing (i.e. declare their consent, e.g. by ticking a checkbox or confirming a button), the legal basis of the processing is Art. 6 (1) lit. a., Art. 7 DSGVO. You can obtain further information on the processing of your personal data as well as your objection options under the links of the respective provider(s) listed below.
