Access to the web pages and sending of messages

You can generally read the content of our website without having to provide personal data. You are free to decide whether you enter personal data, for example where it is needed in order for you to send us a message.

Should you send us an e-mail, we use your message and your e-mail address solely in order to correspond with you. We store the contact data you provide in these cases in order to process your enquiry, and delete them once the matter has been resolved. These data are not communicated to third parties without your consent. 

Calling up our web pages automatically results in the browser on your terminal device transmitting information to the server on which this website is hosted. This information is stored temporarily in a "log file". The following information is recorded automatically without any action on your part and is stored until it is automatically deleted:

  • IP address of the requesting computer
  • Date and time of access
  • Name and URL of the file accessed
  • Website from which the access occurred (referrer URL)
  • Browser used; possibly also the operating system of your computer and the name of your Internet service provider

These data are processed by us for the following purposes:

The statutory basis for data processing is Article 6 (1) f of the GDPR. Our legitimate interest is derived from the purposes of data recording listed above. Under no circumstances do we use the recorded data in order to draw conclusions with respect to your person.

Registration and abstract submission for the EUROSHNET conference

EUROSHNET periodically organizes conferences, for which you can register on our website or submit abstracts for the call for papers/posters. We then forward your data to the service provider responsible for organizing the event. The service provider uses these data only for this purpose, and does not communicate them to third parties.

To enable us to handle your registration or abstract submission, we record and process the following data:

Mandatory fields: salutation, first name, last name, institution, function, e-mail address, if applicable desired parallel fora/lectures, if applicable partaking of communal meals, and – depending upon the requirements specific to the event concerned – your postal address, your telephone number and your payment data.

Optional fields: title, department, faculty, text of your message, and – depending upon the requirements specific to the event concerned – your postal address, your telephone number and your payment data.

In order to register or submit your abstract, you must confirm your acceptance of our data privacy policy. Once you have registered or submitted your abstract, we record your data and use them to organize the event and to provide you with information on it. Subject to your consent, we also use some of your items of data (name, institution, e-mail address, possibly also postal address) in order to send you information (on subsequent events).
