Privacy Statement For help.univention.com
We are pleased that you are visiting our website. Below we would like to inform you about the handling of your data in accordance with Article 13 of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
Responsible Party
The entity responsible for the data processing presented below is the entity named in the imprint.
Usage Data
When you visit our websites, so-called usage data is temporarily evaluated on our web server for statistical purposes as a protocol in order to improve the quality of our websites. This data set consists of:
- the name and address of the requested content,
- the date and time of the request,
- the amount of data transferred,
- the access status (content transferred, content not found),
- a description of the web browser and operating system used,
- the referral link indicating the page from which you accessed our website.
The legal basis for processing usage data is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. The processing is carried out in the legitimate interest of providing the website content and ensuring a device- and browser-optimized display.
Storage of the IP Address for Security Purposes
Additionally, we store the complete IP address transmitted by your web browser for strictly specified purposes for a period of seven days in the legitimate interest of detecting, limiting, and eliminating attacks on our websites. After this period, we delete or anonymize the IP address. The legal basis for this processing is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.
Data Security
To protect your data as comprehensively as possible against unauthorized access, we take technical and organizational measures. We use an encryption method on our websites. Your data is transmitted from your computer to our server and vice versa over the Internet using TLS encryption. You can usually recognize this by the closed lock symbol in your browser’s status bar and the address line starting with https://.
Necessary Cookies
We use cookies on our websites that are necessary for the use of our websites.
Cookies are small text files that can be stored and read on your device. There are session cookies that are deleted as soon as you close your browser and permanent cookies that are stored beyond a single session.
We do not use these necessary cookies for analysis, tracking, or advertising purposes.
Some of these cookies only contain information about specific settings and are not personally identifiable. They may also be necessary to enable user guidance, security, and page implementation.
We use these cookies based on our legitimate interest according to Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.
You can configure your browser to inform you when cookies are placed. You can also delete them at any time via your browser settings and prevent the placement of new cookies. Please note that our websites may then not be displayed in full and some functions may no longer be technically available.
Consent Banner
We use a consent management platform (consent or cookie banner) on our websites. The processing related to the use of the consent management platform and the logging of the settings you made takes place on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, in our legitimate interest to display our content according to your preferences and to be able to prove your given consent(s). Your settings, the consents given, and parts of your usage data are stored in a cookie. This keeps it available for subsequent page requests and allows your consents to remain traceable.
The provider of the consent management platform acts as our strictly instructed service provider (data processor). A data processing agreement in accordance with Article 28 GDPR has been concluded.
Matomo
To design our websites according to needs, we use the web analytics tool “Matomo”. Matomo creates usage profiles based on pseudonyms. For this purpose, permanent cookies are stored on your device and read by us. This enables us to recognize and count returning visitors.
Data processing is based on your consent if you have given your consent via our banner.
You can withdraw your consent at any time via the consent banner.
The cookies set are generally deleted or no longer processed after you withdraw your consent.

Your Rights as a Data Subject
When processing your personal data, the GDPR grants you certain rights as a data subject:
Right of Access (Art. 15 GDPR)
You have the right to request confirmation as to whether personal data concerning you is being processed. If this is the case, you have the right to access this personal data and the information specified in Art. 15 GDPR.

You have the right to request the rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning you without delay and, if applicable, the completion of incomplete data.
Right to Erasure (Art. 17 GDPR)
You have the right to request the immediate deletion of personal data concerning you if one of the reasons specified in Art. 17 GDPR applies.
Right to Restriction of Processing (Art. 18 GDPR)
You have the right to request the restriction of processing if one of the conditions specified in Art. 18 GDPR applies, e.g., if you have objected to the processing for the duration of the examination by the controller.
Right to Data Portability (Art. 20 GDPR)
In certain cases specified in Art. 20 GDPR, you have the right to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format or to request the transfer of this data to a third party.
Right to Withdraw Consent (Art. 7 GDPR)
If data processing is based on your consent, you have the right, according to Art. 7(3) GDPR, to withdraw your consent to the use of your personal data at any time. Please note that the withdrawal only takes effect for the future. Processing that took place before the withdrawal is not affected.
