Thank you for your interest in the Chair of Machine Learning and Security at BIFOLD and TU Berlin (MLSEC). The protection of the personal data of visitors to our website is very important to us. We therefore would like to inform you about data privacy for websites under *.mlsec.tu.berlin and *.mlsec.org.
Data privacy addresses issues concerning personal data. According to Article 4 no. 1 of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), these are data referring to an identified or identifiable individual, in other words all data which could be used to identify you. This applies to data such as your name, private address, email address, and telephone number but also to usage data such as your IP address.
As a matter of course MLSEC observes the legal requirements of data privacy and other applicable regulations.
We are committed to ensuring that you can trust us concerning your personal data. For this reason transfers of personal or sensitive data are encrypted. In addition, our websites are protected by technical measures against damage or unauthorized access.
When you visit our website or download data from its web pages, the following information is saved in a log file
Non-depersonalized data will be deleted after two weeks and will not be stored. This data will only be used for non-commercial purposes: It 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.
In order to protect your transmitted data as best as possible, we use TLS encryption for any data transmission. You can recognize such encrypted connections by the prefix https:// in the page link in the address line or by the green/closed lock symbol of your browser. Unencrypted pages are marked by http:// or an open or red lock symbol. All data that you transmit to this website – for example when making inquiries or logging in – cannot be read by third parties thanks to TLS encryption.
We do not use cookies on our website.
For information about how we handle personal traffic data, please refer to the “general data policy” above.
The active communication of your personal data is not required for the use of our websites --- in order for MLSEC 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.
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.
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. Of course, you also have the right to contact the supervisory authority:
