Purposes of data collection

The photos, videos and audio recordings will be used for reporting on the event for marketing and public relations purposes of the HAWK. They can be published in press releases, on the website, in print publications and external HAWK social media channels. For media that do not show persons of contemporary history, that have persons as so-called accessories or media that depict meetings or similar events and their nature, you will be asked for your consent on an individual basis. In the event that no consent is given or consent is withdrawn, no disadvantages will be suffered by the person concerned.

Legal basis

The publication of media that reflect the nature of the event (overviews) is part of the university’s tasks in
accordance with section 6 para. 1 lit. e) in conjunction with section 6 para. 3 GDPR in conjunction with § 3 NDSG (Data Protection Regulation of Lower Saxony) and is in the public interest. For other media you will be asked for our
consent in accordance with section 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR.

Recipients

The media are stored on HAWK servers for an indefinite period of time, subject to the rights to

Revocation of consent

You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future. In this case, we will no longer process the data and delete it.
