The legal foundation for this data processing is Art. 6 Abs. 1 S. 1 lit. f of the GDPR. Our legitimate interest in the saving of data is justified by the purposes indicated above. Under no circumstances do we use the data we collect for the purpose of drawing conclusions about your identity.

During usage of a user account of the BSCW Service, the information named under section 2, part a is stored. In addition, during registration for the BSCW Service it is necessary to specify a username, password, and e-mail address.
The BSCW Service saves the completed actions of users in the form of events. Events may potentially contain personal data (e.g. username) and are made available to authorized users in a shared data space in order to make it possible to complete collaborative activities. In addition, events can be aggregated at users’ requests and sent as e-mail notifications to authorized users.
Registration with the BSCW Service is only possible if the user clicks on a link contained in an e-mail sent from the BSCW Service, and if the user authorizes usage of additional personal data that is necessary for the function of the BSCW Service.
The High-Performance Computing Center Stuttgart (HLRS) does not in any way control content in the BSCW Service. Nevertheless, we reserve the right to delete entries at our own discretion and to exclude users from further use, in particular if data entries are punishable by law or are incompatible with HLRS’s objectives.
Users may close their accounts at any time by sending an e-mail to the following contact address: bscw(at)hlrs.de.
The legal basis for data processing is based on the consent of the user in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a in conjunction with Art. 7 f. of the GDPR or on a legal basis according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b, c and f of the GDPR.

When users terminate their user accounts, data related to the user account will be deleted in accordance with Art. 17 and 18 of the GDPR. It is users’ responsibility to save their data during a successful termination of their account before the contract comes to an end. We are authorized to permanently delete all data that had been saved by the user for the duration of their contract.
If data are not erased because they are needed for other, legally permissible reasons, their processing will be restricted. This means that the data will be locked and not used for other purposes. This applies, for example, to data that must be saved for commercial or tax law purposes in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c of the GDPR.
If your personal data is processed on the basis of legitimate interests in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f of the GDPR, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data in accordance with Art. 21 of the GDPR, provided that there are reasons for this arising from your particular situation or because of an objection to direct advertising. In the latter case, you have a general right to object, which will be implemented by us without the need to specify a particular situation.
If you would like to make use of your right of withdrawal or right of objection, simply send an email to recht(at)hlrs.de.
The BSCW service uses the TLS (Transport Layer Security) method in conjunction with the highest encryption level supported by your browser for the encrypted transmission of data. As a rule, this is 256-bit encryption. If your browser does not support 256-bit encryption, we use 128-bit encryption instead. You can tell that an individual page of the BSCW service is transmitted in encrypted form if the key or lock symbol in the lower status bar of your browser is displayed as being closed.
Within the BSCW service, only authorized users have access to individual data rooms.
We use suitable technical and organizational security measures to protect your data against accidental or intentional manipulation, partial or complete loss, destruction, or unauthorized access by third parties. Our security measures are continuously adapted to technological developments.
This data security declaration is effective as of November 2023.
It may become necessary to amend this privacy policy due to the further development of the BSCW software or due to changes in legal or official requirements.
