Data protection

for this website and our social media channels

Technische Hochschule Ingolstadt offers services and administrative services as well as information for the public about its activities on its website in accordance with Art. 2 Para. 6 BayHSchG, Art. 4 Para. 1 S. 1 and 2 BayEGovG.

The protection of your personal data is of particular concern to us. We therefore process your data exclusively on the basis of the statutory provisions (European Data Protection Regulation - DSGVO, Bavarian Data Protection Act - BayDSG).

In order to adequately protect your data during transmission, we use secure technical systems and other measures such as encryption. In doing so, we are guided by the current state of the art.

In accordance with these provisions, we inform you in this data protection information about the aspects of the processing of your data in this application that are relevant for you.

Your data subject rights

According to the General Data Protection Regulation, you have the following rights with regard to your personal data:

• If your personal data is processed, you have the right to obtain information about the data stored about you (Art. 15 GDPR). Please note that this right to information may be restricted or excluded in certain cases. To assert your right to information, please contact: datenschutz@thi.de
• If incorrect personal data is being processed, you have the right to have this data corrected (Art. 16 DSGVO).
• If the legal requirements are met, you may request the erasure or restriction of processing (Art. 17 and 18 DSGVO).
• If you have consented to the data processing or if there is a contract for data processing and the data processing is carried out with the help of automated procedures, you may have the right to data portability (Art. 20 DSGVO).
• If you make use of your above-mentioned rights, the public body will check whether the legal requirements for this are met.

Furthermore, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. The supervisory authority responsible for us is the Bavarian State Commissioner for Data Protection, Wagmüllerstraße 18, 80538 Munich.
We will inform you separately about your right to object and your right to revoke consent:

Right of objection

For reasons arising from your particular situation, you may object to the processing of personal data relating to you by us at any time (Art. 21 DSGVO). If the legal requirements are met, we will subsequently no longer process your personal data.

Right of withdrawal

You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future (Art. 7 (3) DSGVO). This does not affect the lawfulness of the data processing carried out on the basis of the consent until the revocation.

Social Media

Purpose and legal basis

Our social media presences are part of our public relations work in accordance with Art. 2 Para. 6 BayHSchG. For target group-oriented information and communication, we enable you to quickly contact us electronically and communicate directly via the media of your choice.

We reserve the right to disclose, block or delete content, posts and enquiries that violate the rights of third parties or that constitute a criminal offence or misdemeanour or do not comply with legal or contractual obligations of conduct by transmitting them to the competent authority or social media service.

We use statistics from the social media providers to compile business statistics, to conduct organisational studies, to optimise the content offered and to ensure network and information security in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 BayDSG, Section 13 Para. 7 TMG, Art. 11 Para. 1 BayEGovG. Insofar as the processing purpose is not impaired, we anonymise or pseudonymise personal data.

Recipients

If you use our social media channels and pages, their providers also process your personal data. The processing of your data may also take place outside the scope of the GDPR. This may result in additional risks for you, as, for example, the enforcement of data subject rights may be more difficult.

Social media providers usually create comprehensive profiles of their members and those who come into contact with their media services. These profiles are used for the respective providers' own purposes. This also includes the marketing of advertising. Should you use our offers with these providers, the providers can recognise the relationship between you and us.

You can limit the scope of this data processing by configuring or using browser extensions. Some providers also offer individual settings, e.g. to control advertisements and tracking. Details on the use of your data by the providers can usually be found in their privacy policy:
