II Data collected

By participating in the surveys, participants in ofz training courses provide an assessment of the event they attended (content, didactics/methods, workshop leadership, self-assessment and competences, satisfaction, learning success, suggestions for improvement). The results are used for quality assurance and further development of our programmes.

Personal data may be collected as part of the surveys. In particular, this includes data on gender, age, employment status and technical access options.

The surveys do not ask for any data that can be directly attributed to individual persons. However, it cannot be ruled out that in individual cases certain persons may be indirectly identifiable on the basis of the combination of the individual details requested (personal data).

In this context, we would also like to ask you to avoid entering personal data in the free text fields as far as possible, so that a direct personal reference cannot be established via this "route".

Log files

As part of the online surveys, technical data/access logs are recorded on the university's own web server, such as IP address, date and time of access, command called, status code of the web server, transmission size, origin of the calling page if applicable, web browser used (user agent), encryption algorithm used.

The log file data is used to ensure the functionality of the online surveys (e.g. error analysis, protection against misuse, etc.) and is deleted after a maximum of 7 days. The log file data is not linked to your directly identifying data or your answers.

If paper-based questionnaires are used, these are then scanned, digitally analysed and then immediately destroyed in accordance with data protection regulations.
