When you access our website or retrieve a file, data about this process is stored in a log file on our web server. The following data may be stored:

• IP address (where possible, this is stored in anonymized form)
• Domain name of the website you came from
• Names of the retrieved files
• Date and time of access
• Name of your internet service provider
• Possibly, the operating system and browser version of your device.

We only store IP addresses for data security reasons to ensure the stability and security of our system (the legal basis for this is Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, our legitimate interest). The statistical evaluation of anonymized data records is reserved.

In general, we store all information you provide to us within the legal framework and only as long as it's necessary for the purpose for which it was collected. For example, with inquiries, the data is stored until the inquiry is resolved, and with newsletters, until you unsubscribe from the newsletter. If longer storage is necessary or required by law, the data will be stored within this framework, and it will be automatically deleted afterward.

Our website uses cookies. A cookie is a small file that is placed and stored on your device by the internet browser you use. These cookies process certain information from you, such as your browser or location data, or your IP address, to varying extents. This processing makes our website more user-friendly, efficient, and secure, as it enables features such as displaying our website in different languages or offering a shopping cart function. Some cookies are necessary to ensure the functionality of our website. The legal basis for this is Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, protecting our legitimate interests.

If you wish to generally prevent the use of cookies, you can do so through local settings in your internet browser (e.g., Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Opera, or Safari).

For non-technically necessary cookies, we use them based on your consent. The legal basis in this case is Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR.

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as inquiries that you send to us as the site operator, this page uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the padlock symbol in your browser bar.

We reserve the right to modify our security and privacy measures as necessary due to technological developments. There may also be substantial changes in content or functionality. In all such cases, we will adjust our privacy notices accordingly. Therefore, please refer to the most current version of our privacy policy.

The last modification was made on 10th August 2023.

We collect and process the personal data of applicants for the purpose of processing the application procedure. The processing may also be carried out electronically. This is particularly the case if an applicant sends us the relevant application documents electronically, for example by e-mail. When concluding an employment contract with an applicant, the transmitted data will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in compliance with the statutory provisions. If no employment contract is concluded with the applicant, the application documents will be automatically deleted six months after notification of the rejection decision, provided that no other legitimate interests of the controller prevent such deletion. Another legitimate interest in this sense is, for example, a duty to provide evidence in proceedings under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).

We send newsletters containing promotional information only with the consent of the recipients or based on legal permission.

The subscription to our newsletter is done through a double-opt-in procedure: After subscribing, you will receive an email in which you can confirm your subscription. This confirmation is necessary to verify you as the owner of the email address. The subscription to the newsletter is logged in order to comply with legal requirements. This includes storing the times of subscription and confirmation, as well as your IP address.

You can cancel the subscription to the newsletter at any time. A link to unsubscribe from the newsletter is included in every newsletter email.

Withdrawal: You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time by sending an email to newsletter@mobile-university.de. If you do not unsubscribe from the newsletter, your data will be stored until you revoke your consent.

We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland.

Google employs cookies. The information generated by the cookie about users' use of the online offer is usually transmitted to a Google server in the United States and stored there. Google will use this information on our behalf to evaluate users' use of our online offer, to compile reports on activities within this online offer, and to provide us with further services related to the use of this online offer and internet usage. Pseudonymous usage profiles of users can be created from the processed data.

We use Google Analytics with IP anonymization enabled. This means that the IP address of users within member states of the European Union or other states party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area will be shortened by Google. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate users' use of the website, to compile reports on website activities, and to provide the website operator with further services related to website and internet usage. The IP address transmitted by the user's browser will not be merged with other Google data.

Browser Plugin

Users can prevent cookies from being stored by adjusting their browser software settings. However, we advise users that if they do this, they may not be able to use all functions of this website to their full extent. Users can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to their use of the website (including their IP address) by Google and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available under the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en.

Data Processing Agreement

We have concluded a data processing agreement with Google and fully implement the strict requirements of the German data protection authorities when using Google Analytics.

Our websites use the functions of Google Analytics Remarketing in connection with the cross-device functions of Google AdWords and Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland.

This feature allows us to link the advertising target groups created with Google Analytics Remarketing with the cross-device functions of Google AdWords and Google DoubleClick. This way, interest-based, personalized advertising messages that have been tailored to your previous usage and browsing behavior on one device (e.g. mobile phone) can also be displayed on another of your devices (e.g. tablet or PC).

If you have given your consent, Google links your web and app browser history to your Google account for this purpose. This enables the same personalized advertising messages to be displayed on every device where you log in with your Google account.

To support this function, Google Analytics captures Google-authenticated IDs of users that are temporarily linked to our Google Analytics data in order to define and create target groups for cross-device advertising.

You can permanently opt out of cross-device remarketing/targeting by deactivating personalized advertising in your Google account; to do so, follow this link: https://www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb/.

The aggregation of the collected data in your Google account is based solely on your consent, which you can give or revoke at Google (Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR). For data collection processes that are not merged into your Google account (for example, because you do not have a Google account or have objected to the merging), the collection of data is based on Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. The legitimate interest arises from the website operator's interest in the anonymized analysis of website visitors for advertising purposes.

For more information and Google's privacy policy, please refer to the following link.

Each time you access a page on our website that includes a YouTube component (YouTube video), your internet browser is automatically prompted by the respective YouTube component to download a representation of the corresponding YouTube component from YouTube.

If you are logged into YouTube at the same time, YouTube recognizes, with the visit of a subpage containing a YouTube video, which specific subpage of our website the person concerned has visited. This information is collected by YouTube and Google and assigned to the respective YouTube account of the person concerned.

YouTube and Google always receive information about the person concerned visiting our website whenever the person is logged into YouTube at the time of accessing our website.

The user can withdraw this consent at any time for the future by notifying the platform operator in accordance with Article 7(3) of the GDPR.

When our online presence on the Facebook platform is accessed, the platform operator in the EU, Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, processes user data (e.g., personal information, IP address, etc.).

If the user contacts us through Facebook, the personal data entered by the user during this contact will be used to process the request.
