Datenschutz

This is the privacy policy (“Policy”) for this website, which is operated and provided by MediaTech Hub Potsdam Management GmbH, contact@mth-potsdam.de (“MTHP,” “we,” “us,” and “our”) at www.mth-potsdam.de. MTH Potsdam is the data controller within the meaning of Article 4(7) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”). We process the personal data collected via this website exclusively as set forth in this Policy. Below, you will learn how we process your personal data, for what purposes it is processed, with whom it is shared, and what control and information rights you may have.

Personal data refers to any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person, in particular by association with an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, or an online identifier. Processing means any operation or set of operations performed on personal data, such as collection, recording, organization, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, disclosure, or any other form of use.

If you visit our website for informational purposes—that is, without logging in to the site or otherwise providing us with personal data—we may automatically collect additional information about you. This information contains personal data only in limited cases and is automatically recorded by our server, such as:

• The user’s IP address (anonymized, only the first 3 bytes)
• Name of the website or file accessed
• Date and time of access
• Amount of data transferred
• Notification of successful retrieval
• Browser type and version
• User’s operating system
• User’s device, including MAC address
• Referrer URL (the previously visited page)

We use this information solely to effectively provide our services to you (e.g., by adapting our website to the needs of your device) and to compile data for the creation of anonymized statistics regarding the use of our website. This data is not combined with other personal data that is actively provided within the context of the website. We require the automatically collected personal data for the provision of our website, Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, as well as for our legitimate interest in ensuring the stability and security of the website, Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

You can use your email address to subscribe to our newsletter, which will keep you informed about news from MTH Potsdam, provided you consent to receiving the newsletter. The legal basis for this processing is Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR. We will store your email address for as long as you remain subscribed to our newsletter. The service is provided using the so-called “double opt-in” procedure. You will receive an email containing a link that allows you to confirm that you are the owner of the email address and wish to be notified via our email service.

YouTube
We have embedded YouTube videos in our website that are hosted on http://www.YouTube.com and can be played directly from our site. All videos are embedded in “enhanced privacy mode,” which means that no data about you as a user is transmitted to YouTube unless you play the videos. Only when you play the videos is the data mentioned in the next paragraph transmitted. We have no influence over this data transmission. By visiting the website, YouTube (YouTube LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA) receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding subpage of our website. In addition, the data mentioned in Section 2 of this statement is transmitted. This occurs regardless of whether YouTube provides a user account through which you are logged in or whether no user account exists. If you are logged in to Google, your data is directly assigned to your account. If you do not wish for this data to be associated with your YouTube profile, you must log out before activating the button. YouTube stores your data in user profiles and uses it for advertising, market research, and/or to tailor its website to your needs. Such analysis is carried out in particular (even for users who are not logged in) to provide targeted advertising and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, in which case you must contact YouTube to exercise this right. This processing is based on Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. By embedding such videos, we pursue our legitimate interest in enhancing your user experience and optimizing our services. For further information on the purpose and scope of data collection and its processing by YouTube, please refer to YouTube’s Privacy Policy. There you will also find further information about your rights and settings options for protecting your privacy: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy. YouTube is a service provided by Google LLC and is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework: https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov.

Disclosure of personal data to third parties

Your personal data will be disclosed to contractors who assist us in providing our services (IT services, website hosting, audience measurement, and optimization of our offerings). We bind these contractors by contract in accordance with Article 28 of the GDPR. If we are legally entitled or obligated to do so (for example, due to applicable law or a court order), we may disclose your personal data. When you register for our events, we share your personal data, such as your name, with the third-party service provider Eventbrite Inc. (155 5th Street, Floor 7, San Francisco, CA 94103, USA). This transfer is necessary for the organization of the event. The legal basis for the transfer is Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR. Further information on cross-border transfers in general and transfers to the United States can be found below.

Within the scope described above, we may transfer your personal data to other countries (including countries outside the EU), where data protection standards may differ from those in your country of residence. Please note that data processed in other countries may be subject to foreign laws and may be accessible to the governments, courts, and law enforcement and regulatory authorities of those countries. However, when transferring your personal data to such countries, we will take appropriate measures to adequately protect your data.
When transferring personal data to Eventbrite in the United States, the transfer is protected by an adequacy decision from the European Commission in connection with the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. Eventbrite has obtained certification under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. For more information, please visit https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov.

We have appropriate, state-of-the-art security measures in place to protect your data from loss, misuse, and alteration. For example, our security policies and privacy statements are reviewed regularly and updated as needed. In addition, only authorized employees have access to personal data. Although we cannot guarantee that data loss, misuse, or alteration will never occur, we do everything in our power to prevent this. Please keep in mind that data transmission over the Internet is never completely secure. We cannot guarantee the security of data entered on our website during transmission over the Internet. This is done at your own risk.

Our goal is to process your personal data only to the minimum extent necessary. Unless specific retention periods are specified in this statement, we will retain your personal data only for as long as is necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was originally collected and, where applicable, for as long as required by law.

Depending on the circumstances of the specific case, you have the following data protection rights:

• Right of access: To request access to your personal data and/or copies of such data. This includes information regarding the purpose of the use, the categories of data processed, the recipients and those authorized to access the data, and, where possible, the planned duration of data storage or, if this is not possible, the criteria used to determine that duration.
• To request the rectification, erasure, or restriction of the processing of your personal data to the extent that its use is unlawful under data protection law, in particular because the data is incomplete or inaccurate, is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, the consent on which the processing was based has been withdrawn, or you have successfully exercised your right to object to the processing of your data. In cases where the data is processed by third parties, we will forward your requests for rectification, erasure, or restriction of processing to these third parties, unless this proves impossible or involves disproportionate effort.
• Objection, withdrawal: to refuse to give consent or—without affecting the lawfulness of any data processing that took place prior to the withdrawal—to withdraw your consent to the processing of your personal data at any time.
• The right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing that produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you.
• Data portability: You have the right to request the personal data concerning you that you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, and to transmit this data to another controller without hindrance from us. You may also have the right to request that we transmit the personal data directly to another controller, provided this is technically feasible.
• Remedy: Take legal action or contact the relevant supervisory authorities if you believe that your rights have been violated as a result of the processing of your personal data in a manner that does not comply with data protection regulations.

You may exercise the rights listed above, ask questions, or file a complaint regarding our processing of your personal data by contacting us as indicated below.

In addition, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data at any time if we process your personal data for direct marketing purposes or if we process your personal data to pursue our legitimate interests and there are grounds arising from your particular situation.

If you have any questions, concerns, or comments regarding this privacy policy, or if you have any inquiries about your personal data, please feel free to contact us by email. You can reach us at contact(at)mth-potsdam.de. The information you provide when contacting us (e.g., your name or email address) will be processed solely for the purpose of handling your inquiry. It will be deleted immediately thereafter. Alternatively, we will restrict the processing of your personal data in accordance with legal requirements regarding retention obligations.

We reserve the right to update this Privacy Policy as our website is updated. Please visit this website regularly to review the most current version of the Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy was last updated on June 4, 2026.
