Information on privacy/privacy notice in accordance with Article 12 of the EU General Data Protection Regulation

I. Scope/area

This privacy notice informs users about the type, scope, and purpose of the collection and use of personal data by Bingen Technical University of Applied Sciences (TH Bingen) on its X (Twitter) page. TH Bingen does not have a declared objective to store or utilise the data of X (Twitter) users. Nevertheless, users can visit the public X (Twitter) page, read the content, and comment on it. Privacy issues may be affected when third parties comment on or create posts.

The legal bases for the protection of data are set out in the EU General Data Protection Regulation, the State Data Protection Act of Rhineland-Palatinate (LDSG), and the German Telemedia Act (TMG).

TH Bingen’s general privacy notice applies in all cases. This can be viewed at:  https://www.th-bingen.de/en/footer/data-protection-and-privacy/.

II Access data/server log files/data processing on X (Twitter)

X (Twitter) is a microblogging service of X (Twitter) Inc. X (Twitter) collects data every time the service is accessed. The purpose and scope of the data collection and the further processing and use of the data by X (Twitter) as well as the related rights and setting options to protect the privacy of users can be found in the privacy policy of X (Twitter): https://twitter.com/en/privacy

III User/visitor comments and posts

When users leave comments in a blog or other posts, their IP addresses are stored. This is done to protect the provider in case someone enters illegal content in comments and posts (insults, prohibited political propaganda, etc.). In such cases, the provider can be held liable for the comment or contribution and is therefore interested in the identity of the author.

If the user has an X (Twitter) account, X (Twitter) may display the profile name, profile picture, and actions performed by the user on X (Twitter) or in third-party applications linked to the X (Twitter) account in its services as well as in adverts and in other commercial contexts.

TH Bingen reserves the right to delete posts from third parties. Unauthorised third-party advertising and commercial use by third parties is excluded.

Users are hereby informed that X (Twitter) collects and stores data.

IV Photos on X (Twitter)

(Personal) photos and videos are only posted on our X (Twitter) page with the consent of the persons concerned. They can withdraw their consent at any time. Ownership and rights of use remain exclusively with TH Bingen. It is prohibited for unauthorised third parties to copy or further reproduce this document.

You can request the deletion of a photo by contacting the data controller at TH Bingen at any time and without giving any reason. A message to praesidentin[at]th-bingen.de will suffice.
