Dear Visitors to the Polarstern Website,
To ensure you feel safe while visiting our website, we would like to inform you about the handling of your data. We neither publish your data nor pass it on to unauthorized third parties. Below, we explain which data we collect during your visit to our website and how exactly this data is used:

A. General Information<\/strong>
1. Scope of Data Processing
We generally collect and use personal user data only to the extent necessary to provide a functional website as well as our content and services. The collection and use of personal data from our users are usually carried out with their consent. Exceptions apply in cases where data processing is permitted by legal regulations.

2. Legal Basis for Data Processing
If we obtain the consent of the data subject for processing operations involving personal data, Article 6(1)(a) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)<\/strong> serves as the legal basis.

For the processing of personal data required to fulfill a contract to which the data subject is a party, Article 6(1)(b) GDPR<\/strong> serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations necessary for carrying out pre-contractual measures.
If processing is required to safeguard a legitimate interest of AWI or a third party and if the interests, fundamental rights, and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the former interest, Article 6(1)(f) GDPR<\/strong> serves as the legal basis for processing.

3. Data Deletion and Retention Period
Personal data of the data subject will be deleted, anonymized, or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage ceases to exist. Storage may also take place if required by European or national legislation in EU regulations, laws, or other provisions to which AWI is subject. Data will also be blocked, anonymized, or deleted when a statutory retention period expires, unless further storage is necessary for concluding or fulfilling a contract.
