Privacy Policy for the Use of Google Analytics
This website uses features of the web analytics service Google Analytics. The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies.” These are text files that are stored on your computer and enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie regarding your use of this website is generally transmitted to a Google server in the United States and stored there. However, if IP anonymization is enabled on this website, your IP address will first be truncated by Google within member states of the European Union or in other signatory states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the United States and truncated there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity, and to provide other services related to website and internet usage to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not merged with other Google data.
You can prevent the storage of cookies by adjusting your browser settings accordingly; however, please note that in this case, you may not be able to use all features of this website to their full extent. You can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address), as well as from processing this data, by downloading and installing the browser plugin available here.

Data Protection for Applications for a Dormitory Room
The personal data and documents submitted as part of your application will be processed exclusively for the purpose of reviewing and processing your application for a dormitory room. The legal basis for this is Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR (implementation of pre-contractual measures).
Application documents are treated confidentially and are accessible only to those involved in the selection and allocation of residence hall spots. As a general rule, they are not disclosed to third parties unless required by law.
If a tenancy agreement is not concluded, the application data will be deleted upon completion of the application process as soon as it is no longer necessary for the stated purposes and no legal retention obligations or legitimate interests preclude deletion (Article 5(1)(e), Article 17 of the GDPR; where applicable, Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR).
In particular, you have the right to access (Art. 15 GDPR), rectification (Art. 16 GDPR), erasure (Art. 17 GDPR), restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR), and—provided the legal requirements are met—the right to object to processing (Art. 21 GDPR).
