2. General Notes and Mandatory Information
Data Protection
Leonardo Sachsen takes the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations as well as this privacy policy. Please note that data transmission over the Internet (e.g., when communicating by email) can have security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data from access by third parties is not possible.
Note on the Responsible Party
The responsible party for data processing on this website is:
Dresden University of Technology
Leonardo-Sachsen
Email: claudia.reichert@tu-dresden.de
Phone: +49 351 463 32219
The responsible party is Leonardo-Sachsen, which alone or together with others decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g., names, email addresses, etc.).
Revocation of Your Consent to Data Processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You can revoke consent that you have already given at any time. An informal email notification to us is sufficient for this purpose. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.
Right to Lodge a Complaint with the Competent Supervisory Authority
In the event of violations of data protection law, the data subject has the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority. The competent supervisory authority for data protection issues is the data protection officer of the federal state in which our company is based.

Right to Data Portability
You have the right to receive data that we process automatically based on your consent or in fulfillment of a contract, either for yourself or for a third party, in a commonly used, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done as far as it is technically feasible.
SSL or TLS Encryption
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content – such as orders or inquiries you send to us as the website operator – this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the browser’s address line changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser’s address bar. When SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
Information, Blocking, Deletion
Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of data processing, and, if applicable, a right to correction, blocking, or deletion of this data. For this purpose, as well as for further questions on the topic of personal data, you can contact us at any time at the address given in the legal notice.

This website integrates videos from the YouTube website. The operator of the site is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

We use YouTube in extended data protection mode. According to YouTube, videos played in extended data protection mode are not used to personalize browsing on YouTube. Ads shown in extended data protection mode are also not personalized. In extended data protection mode, no cookies are set. However, so-called local storage elements are stored in the user’s browser, which, similar to cookies, can contain personal data and be used for recognition. Details about extended data protection mode can be found here: ➚https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/171780.
After activating a YouTube video, further data processing operations may be triggered, over which we have no influence.

If consent has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TDDDG, insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information on the user’s device (e.g., device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TDDDG.
