However, like many websites, we may collect certain information automatically when you visit, such as:

  1. Cookies: We use cookies to enhance your experience on our website and to analyze website traffic. Cookies are small data files stored on your device. You can control cookie preferences through your browser settings. If you continue to use our website, we assume you consent to the use of cookies.For more details, see our Cookie Policy (link to cookie policy if available).

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Use of Data

The data we collect is used solely for the following purposes:

  • To ensure security and functionality.

Your Rights

As we do not collect personal data intentionally, you do not have the typical rights under GDPR (such as access, rectification, or deletion of personal data). However, if you believe we are processing personal data, please contact us at stefan.schwarz@tuwien.ac.at, and we will address your concerns.

Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect the personal data we may collect automatically (such as IP addresses or cookies) from unauthorized access or disclosure.

We are committed to the security of personal data. We take appropriate security measures to limit abuse of and unauthorized access to personal data. This ensures that only the necessary persons have access to your data, that access to the data is protected, and that our security measures are regularly reviewed.

The security measures we use consist of, but are not limited to:

  • Vulnerability Detection
  • HTTP Strict Transport Security and related security headers
  • TLS / SSL
  • Recommended site hardening features

Really Simple Security and Really Simple Security add-ons do not process any personal identifiable information, so the GDPR does not apply to these plugins or usage of these plugins on your website. You can find our privacy policy here.
