Thank you for your interest in the Technische Universität Berlin (TU Berlin) website. The protection of the personal data of visitors to the TU Berlin website is very important to us. We therefore would like to inform you about data privacy for this website.
As a matter of course Technische Universität Berlin observes the legal requirements of data privacy and other applicable regulations.
Non-depersonalized data will be deleted after two weeks and will not be stored. This data will only be used for non-commercial purposes: SIt will only be reviewed manually if necessary for error analysis, optimization or investigation of misuse or performance issues. This represents a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) lit. f EU-DSGVO. A right of objection according to Art. 21 EU-DSGVO is not possible due to lack of technical feasibility.
For information about how we handle personal traffic data, please refer to the “General data policy” section and the section on “Usage data”.Unseren Umgang mit personenbezogenen Verkehrsdaten entnehmen Sie bitte dem „Allgemeinen Hinweis“ und dem Kapitel zu „Nutzungsdaten“.
The active communication of your personal data is not required for the use of our websites - in order for TU Berlin to fulfill its service mandate, however, we require personal data in individual cases, the processing of which is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. a EU-DSGVO. This applies in particular to answering individual e-mail inquiries or ordering special services. If you commission us to provide a service, we will generally only collect and store your personal data to the extent necessary for the provision of the service.
In exceptional cases, e.g. in the context of event registrations, you will be asked whether your data may be stored for the purpose of providing information on similar events that go beyond pure event management. In this case, your consent is voluntary; refusal will not result in any disadvantages for you. At the TU Berlin, mailing lists are used as an instrument for the targeted distribution of information. If you have subscribed to one of our mailing lists with your e-mail address or have given your consent for this, we will use your e-mail address to inform you about important and new information until you unsubscribe or are removed from the list.
You can revoke your consent at any time and without giving reasons and request the deletion of your data. You can request the latter by sending an e-mail to the institution holding the data.
To optimize our website, we store data such as the IP address of your device, the page accessed, the date and time of the page access, the page from which you accessed our site. This data is held for error handling and to detect misuse attempts, automatically deleted after two weeks and not archived; permanent storage is excluded. This represents a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f EU-DSGVO. A right of objection according to Art. 21 EU-DSGVO is not possible due to lack of technical feasibility.
The data you send us via contact form, including your contact details, will be stored so that we can process your request or ask follow-up questions. This data will not be passed on to third parties without your consent.
The processing of the data entered in the contact form is based exclusively on your consent (Article 6 paragraph 1 lit. a EU-GDPR). A revocation of your already given consent is possible at any time. For the revocation, an informal notification by e-mail to the institution providing the respective contact form is sufficient. The legality of the data processing operations carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.
Data transmitted via the contact form will remain with the institution contacted until there is no longer any need to store the data, you request us to delete it or revoke your consent to storage. Mandatory legal provisions - in particular retention periods - remain unaffected.
Some of our web pages use a plugin to integrate maps.
For this purpose, we use the “OpenStreetMap” (OSM) tool provided by the OpenStreetMap Foundation. When visiting a page with the embedded OSM plugin, a connection to the OpenStreetMap servers is established. The operators of OpenStreetMap receive information about which page with the OSM map you are currently viewing as well as your IP address. As the operator of https://digitalcubetestcenter.de, we do not have any influence on this data transmission.
We use OpenStreetMap to make our website more attractive to users and enable them to more easily find the offices and places listed on our web pages. This is lawful under Article 6 paragraph 1 lit. f EU-GDPR.
Specific details about how user data are handled are available on OpenStreetMap's privacy page.
We incorporate social media content in our web pages which is pulled from the servers of the respective third-party provider (YouTube) - see third-party social media providers further below). This content may include graphics, videos, or social media buttons as well as posts relating to TU Berlin.
We request your consent to show you individual content from any of the providers named above before any data is transferred. Your consent forms the legal basis for processing your data. If this is granted by you, this forms the legal basis for processing your data (within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a EU-GDPR). The technical foundation for processing your declaration of consent is a cookie stored upon consent which you can delete at any time.
The display of embedded content from third-party providers requires that these providers process the IP address of your device, as they cannot send their content to your web browser without it. The processing of your IP address is therefore absolutely necessary for the presentation of these contents or functions. We strive to only use content whose provider only uses the IP address to deliver content.
In addition: Third-party providers may use pixel tags (invisible graphics, also referred to as web beacons) for statistical or marketing purposes. Pixel tags enable information such as visitor traffic to our web pages to be analyzed. The pseudoynmous information may also be stored in the form of cookies on the user’s device and contain other technical information about the browser and operating system, linked websites, time of visit, and other information about the use of our website as well as linked to such information from other sources.
On our web pages we link to TU Berlin accounts or profiles on social media networks of the third-party providers listed below. We also offer the option to share our website content on the social media networks of the third-party providers listed below. The social media account is embedded via a share button for the respective network, preventing a connection from automatically being established to the respective server of the social network when visiting any of our web pages with such linked social media content, for instance in order to display a post on the respective network itself. Only by your active click on the corresponding graphic you will be directed to the service of the respective social network. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a EU-GDPR).
Information about you is then collected by the respective network. Initially this includes data such as your IP address, the date, time, and page visited. We do not know if or how this data is processed in the USA. If you are signed in to your user account with the respective social network, the network provider is able to attribute the collected information about your visit to your personal account. If you interact via the respective network’s “share” button, this information may be saved to your user account and published. If you would like to prevent the collected information from being directly associated with your user account, you must first sign out before clicking the button. You also have the option of configuring your user account accordingly.

We collect, process and store your personal data exclusively internally (usually in the computer center of the TU Berlin) only for the purpose for which you have communicated it to us and thus observe the principle of purpose-bound data use. Your personal data will not be passed on to third parties without your express consent, unless this is necessary for the provision of the service or the execution of the contract. The transfer to state institutions and authorities requesting information will also only take place within the framework of the legal obligations to provide information or if we are obliged to provide information by a court decision.
We also take the University's internal data protection very seriously. Our employees and contracted service providers are bound to confidentiality and compliance with data protection law.
You can obtain information about the data we have stored about you free of charge at any time without having to give a reason. For this purpose, please contact us at the address given in the imprint. We will be happy to answer any further questions you may have about our privacy policy.
In addition, you have the right to correct, delete, restrict and transfer your data.
You also have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you that is carried out on the basis of Article 6 paragraph 1 lit. e and f EU-GDPR. Thereafter, the institution responsible may no longer process the personal data concerning you, unless it can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves the purpose of asserting, exercising or defending legal claims.
If you recognize any indications that we are not handling your data in a data protection-compliant manner, you can contact the Data Protection Team at Technische Universität Berlin or the supervisory authority at any time.
