Data protection is an important concern for the Technical University of Munich. We want you to know when we save which data and how we use them. Personal data is only collected on this central web server of the university (www.tum.de) to the extent that is technically necessary. Data processing is subject to the applicable data protection regulations, in particular the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the Bavarian Data Protection Act (BayDSG) and the Telemedia Act (TMG).
In the following, we will inform you about the type, scope and purpose of the collection and use of personal data. This information can be retrieved from our website at any time. Technical implementation
The web servers of the Technical University of Munich are operated by the Leibniz Computing Center (LRZ).

Logging
When you access this or other Internet pages, you are transmitting data to our web server via your Internet browser. The following data is temporarily recorded in a log file during an ongoing connection for communication between your internet browser and our web server:
- IP address of the requesting computer
- Date and time of access
- Name, URL and transferred data volume of the accessed file
- Access status (requested file transferred, not found etc.)
- Identification data of the browser and operating system used (if transmitted by the requesting web browser)
- Website from which the access was made (if transmitted by the requesting web browser)
The data in this log file is processed as follows:
- The log entries are continuously and automatically evaluated in order to recognize attacks on the web server and to be able to react accordingly.
- In individual cases, i.e. when malfunctions, errors and security incidents are reported, a manual analysis is carried out.
- Log entries that are older than seven days are anonymized by shortening the IP address.
- The anonymized logs are used to generate access statistics. The software used for this is operated locally by the LRZ.
The IP addresses contained in the log entries are not merged with other databases by the LRZ, so that no conclusions can be drawn about individual persons for the LRZ.

Cookies
We sometimes use so-called „cookies“. With the help of these cookies, data can be stored on your computer when you visit our website. You can, however, deactivate the storage of cookies or set your browser so that cookies only last for the duration of the respective connection to the Internet. However, this could limit the functionality of our offer.
Electronic Mail (email)
Information that you send to us unencrypted by electronic mail (e-mail) can possibly be read by third parties during transmission. As a rule, we also cannot verify your identity and we do not know who is hiding behind an e-mail address. Legally secure communication by simple e-mail is therefore not guaranteed. Like many e-mail providers, we use filters against unwanted advertising („SPAM filters“) which, in rare cases, automatically classify and delete normal e-mails as unwanted advertising. E-mails that contain harmful programs (“viruses”) are automatically deleted by us in any case.
Change of Data protection Regulations
We reserve the right to occasionally adapt our data protection provisions so that they always comply with current legal requirements or to implement changes to our services in the data protection declaration. We recommend that you read this privacy policy regularly in order to stay up to date on the protection of the personal data we collect. By continuing to use the service, you agree to these data protection provisions and their updates.
