Purpose of data processing

The purpose of processing your personal data described in more detail in the preamble is the implementation of the Potsdam Transfer event described in more detail in the registration form as part of our public duties.
If you have given your consent to the taking and use of photographs, the photographs and declarations of consent will be stored. The purpose of the data processing, in the form of the production and use of photographs and film recordings, is to inform the public about the plans of the University of Potsdam and the fulfilment of its tasks. In addition, the recordings are also made for the purpose of documenting the event formats at UP Transfer GmbH.
 

Legal basis for data processing

The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. e DSGVO in conjunction with § 14 (9) BbgHG. The provision allows the higher education institutions of the state of Brandenburg to process personal data of students, among others, but also of external users of higher education institutions. Insofar as the content of the respective event serves the transfer of knowledge and technology for the implementation and use of research and development results in practice, the associated data processing can additionally be based on Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. e DSGVO in conjunction with. § Section 3 (1) sentence 3 BbgHG and Section 5 (1) BbgDSG. The latter provision allows public bodies to process personal data if this is necessary to fulfil a task assigned to them. Pursuant to Section 3 (1) sentence 3 BbgHG, the universities of the State of Brandenburg have the task of transferring knowledge and technology for the implementation and use of their research and development results in practice.
For the production of photographs, your consent is the legal basis for data processing (Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. a GDPR). Insofar as the photographic material allows conclusions to be drawn about the health data of the person depicted, Art. 9 (2) a GDPR (explicit consent to the processing of special categories of personal data) is the legal basis for data processing.

Potsdam Transfer works in close cooperation with the UP Transfer GmbH, which provides the financial means for the realization of the event series. Potsdam Transfer is obligated according to § 147 AO, to keep the documents related to the event, such as the participant lists, for documentation and auditing purposes for the corresponding retention period of ten years.
