2. General information

This website is a static information site. There are no user accounts, no contact forms, no analytics or tracking tools, and no advertising. No cookies are set for tracking purposes.

3. Hosting and server log files

The website is served via GitLab Pages on servers of Philipps-Universität Marburg ([UNIVERSITY COMPUTING CENTER / OPERATOR]). When you visit the website, the web server automatically processes the following data:

  • IP address of the requesting device
  • date and time of access
  • requested page or file
  • amount of data transferred and HTTP status code
  • referrer URL (previously visited page)
  • browser type and operating system (user agent)

Purpose: Delivering the website and ensuring its secure and stable operation.

Legal basis: [Art. 6(1)(e) GDPR in conjunction with § 3 HDSIG if the university operates the site; otherwise Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in secure operation)].

Retention: Log files are deleted after [NUMBER] days unless they are needed to investigate a security incident.

4. Storage in your browser

The website stores individual settings locally in your browser (local storage or session storage), for example your chosen display mode (light or dark) and data for the search function. This data does not leave your device and is not transmitted to us. You can delete it at any time in your browser settings.

The search function runs entirely in your browser; search queries are not sent to any server.

5. Fonts and external resources

Fonts and other resources are served locally from our server. Visiting this website does not establish connections to third-party servers (e.g. Google Fonts).

The website contains links to external services, in particular GitLab (gitlab.uni-marburg.de) and Discord. These are simple links; merely visiting our website does not transmit any data to these services. Only when you click a link do the privacy policies of the respective provider apply. For Discord, see discord.com/privacy.

7. Contact by email and mailing list

If you contact us by email or via the mailing list openneuro@lists.uni-marburg.de, we process your email address and the content of your message in order to handle your request. The legal basis is [Art. 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR]. The data is deleted once it is no longer needed for handling your request, unless statutory retention obligations apply.
