Information on data protection
We process your personal data in compliance with the applicable data protection regulations, in particular the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Brandenburg Data Protection Act (BbgDSG).

Purpose of the processing
The purpose of storing and processing the data is to ensure quality assurance and evaluation of non-university practical placements undertaken as part of the degree programme, and to optimise the support services provided by the university.
Lawfulness of processing
The legal basis for data processing is your consent to the processing of personal data (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR).
Right to withdraw consent
You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. Withdrawing your consent does not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out on the basis of your consent prior to its withdrawal. To exercise your right to withdraw consent, please use the contact details provided below.
Type of data
Each time our website is accessed, the following data is stored in log files for the purposes of operational and data security, as well as for statistical purposes:
• Time of access,
• UserAgent (browser and operating system used),
• Pages or content elements accessed
The survey collects master data (student ID number, email address) and personal data such as gender, degree programme and the location where the university entrance qualification was obtained.
Recipients of the data
Your personal data will not be disclosed to third parties.
Duration of data storage
The log data collected when a page is accessed is stored for a maximum of seven days. For the purposes of statistical analysis aimed at improving the University of Potsdam’s website, the data is anonymised by truncating the IP address and stored for a maximum of 12 months.
The deletion of personal master data is carried out semi-automatically at annual intervals by ZfQ staff. To ensure the long-term quality of the data, these staff members archive the data on a server at the University of Potsdam (ZfQ/ZIM) once it has been anonymised.
Your rights
You have the right to obtain from the controller confirmation as to whether or not your personal data is being processed, and, if that is the case, access to the personal data and additional information (right of access). You also have the right to obtain from the controller without undue delay the rectification of inaccurate personal data. If the legal requirements of Art. 17 or 18 GDPR are met, you are entitled to the erasure of your personal data or to a restriction of processing. Please note that restricted processing of the data may not be possible in every instance. You have the right to receive your personal data in a structured, standard and machine-readable format or to request the transfer to another controller (right to data portability, Art. 20 GDPR). Furthermore, you may object to the processing of your personal data under the conditions set forth in Art. 21 GDPR.
