Data protection is of high priority for the Technische Informationsbibliothek (TIB). As a general rule, the use of TIB’s services does not require the provision of any personal data. However, the processing of personal data may be required where a data subject wants to use special services via the TIB’s web pages. Where the processing of personal data is required and where there is no legal basis for such processing, we shall obtain the data subject’s consent.
The processing of personal data, such as for example the data subject’s name, address, email address, or telephone number shall always be carried out in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the state and institution-specific data protection rules and regulations applicable to the TIB. This privacy statement serves to inform the public about the nature, scope and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process, as well as of the rights data subjects are entitled to.

Registration
Users may register on eDoer. When registering, eDoer collects personal data in order to be able to provide personalized and generally improved services to users. Services that require user authentication cannot be used without providing the required data.
The legal basis for the collection of such data shall be the Terms of use of the TIB, the Special Conditions applicable to the eDoer service, or the consent given by the user. For further information, please refer to the information sheet on data protection provided for the eDoer offered by the TIB.
Cookies
The eDoer service uses cookies. Cookies are text files that are placed and stored on a computer system via an Internet browser and serve to render the offer of the eDoer more user-friendly, effective and secure.
Most of the cookies used are so-called “session cookies”, which are automatically deleted at the end of the visit. Other cookies remain stored on the user’s terminal device until he or she deletes them. These cookies enable the eDoer to recognise the user’s browser on his or her next visit.
Users can prevent and permanently object to the setting of cookies by the eDoer service at any time by choosing the corresponding settings of the Internet browser used. Furthermore, cookies already set can be deleted at any time with the Internet browser or by other software programs. This is possible in all common Internet browsers. If the data subject deactivates the setting of cookies in the Internet browser used, the eDoer service may not function properly.
Collection of general data and information (logfiles)
Whenever a data subject calls the TIB web pages, these pages automatically collect information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to the TIB. This is:
- Browser type and browser version
- Operating system used
- Referrer URL
- Hostname of the accessing computer
- IP address
- Internet service provider of the accessing system
- Time of the server request
As a general rule, this data is not attributable to a particular person. This data will not be merged with other data sources.
Routine deletion and blocking of personal data
The TIB processes and stores the data subject’s personal data only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of such storage and in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation and the country and institution-specific data protection regulations applicable to the TIB. Thereafter, the personal data will routinely be blocked or deleted in accordance with the statutory provisions. If the user no longer wishes to use the services of the TIB and in the absence of any claims of the TIB against the user and of any other legal basis for storage, we shall delete the personal data upon request.
Rights of the data subject
You shall at any time be entitled to obtain information about the data stored in this library, its origin and recipient and about the purpose of such data processing, as well as to rectification or erasure or restriction of processing or – to the extent that such processing is based on your consent – a right of withdrawal, possibly a right of objection and the right to data portability. Complaints may be lodged with the above-mentioned supervisory authority. You can contact us at any time for further questions on the subject of personal data.
