4\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Purpose of the processing of personal data<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The website MBM blog https:\/\/blog.hwr-berlin.de\/mbm1\/ serves the publication of the examination task within the group of students of module 1 of the postgraduate Master Programme MBM (Master Business Management) of the Berlin School of Economics and Law. Articles on this blog are published by the users themselves (the students attending the module), so that they are able to demonstrate the achievement of the learning and competence targets of the module.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The website also serves peer-to-peer learning within the group of students and cannot be found by external users via the Google search engine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Personal data are only collected to ensure the reliable operation of the website. The clear names behind the user names are only known to the programme coordinators, module managers, and administrators of the HWR IT-centre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is currently not intended to use the data for any other purposes than those mentioned. Should the data be used for other purposes in the future, we will inform you in advance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Processing is based on the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the Federal Data Protection Act, the Berlin State Data Protection Act and the Berlin Student Data Regulation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Collection and use of personal data<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In order to use our service it is necessary to register or log in by providing personal data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Editorial \/ administrative user management<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

the registration of a user is only necessary for administration or editorial work on the website. The blog is created by the IT department. The person responsible for the blog receives an administrative account from the IT department. The account enables the registration of further administrative or editorial users. The login data are created and managed by the persons responsible for the blog in the decentralised user management. The required login data will be transmitted and stored by the responsible persons. The data will not be passed on to third parties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following data are going to be collected during the registration process:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • username<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    • encrypted password<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • (university related) e-mail address<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • first name<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • last name<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      The registration process provides information about the processing of these data. The legal basis for the processing of the data is pursuant to Article 6 (1) (e) GDPR. A registration of the users is necessary to provide the features and functions of WordPress for the content provision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      In case the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a delegated task, Article 6 (1) (e) GDPR serves as the legal basis. In case the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of the Berlin School of Economics and Law or of a third party and if the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of data subjects do not outweigh the former interest, Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing. Should we obtain the consent of the data subject for the processing of personal data, Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR serves as the legal basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      The following data are collected when using WordPress without plugins:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      • connection data (e.g. IP address, date and time of connection)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • access data: user name, password in encrypted form, (university-related) e-mail address, first name, surname<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • content data (e.g. uploaded files, entries)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        The temporary storage of connection data, in particular the IP address, by the system is necessary to enable WordPress to be delivered to the user’s computer. For this purpose, the user’s IP address must remain stored for the duration of the session. The legal basis for the temporary storage of data concerns Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        The data (connection\/access and types of content data) are also stored in log files. The storage in log files is done to ensure the functionality of WordPress. The Fail2ban function on the server-side will also be used to block IP addresses. Moreover, the data serve to ensure the security of the information technology systems. These purposes also include our legitimate interest in data processing in accordance with Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        The data in the log files are deleted after 14 days. Only administrators have access to the log files. The collection of the data for the allocation of WordPress and the storage of the data in log files is absolutely necessary for the operation. There is therefore no possibility of objection on the part of the users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Commentary function<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Contributions to our MBM blog https:\/\/blog.hwr-berlin.de\/mbm1\/ can and should be commented in the interest of peer-to-peer learning. Data displayed in the comment form are saved. This means the name and e-mail address of the user who writes the comment. In addition, the user’s IP address and the user agent string (which identifies the browser) are collected to help detect spam. The date and time of the comment are saved too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        An anonymised character string (also called hash) can be created from the e-mail address and transferred to the Gravatar service to check whether the user is using it or not. The privacy policy of the Gravatar service can be found here: https:\/\/automattic.com\/privacy\/. After the comment is released, the profile picture is publicly visible in the context of the user’s comment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        6\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Duration of data storage\/erasure deadlines<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

        Registered users<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        The personal data of the administrative or editorial users of the WordPress blog MBM https:\/\/blog.hwr-berlin.de\/mbm1\/<\/strong> will be stored until the user is deleted as no administrative or editorial access is required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        This is the case when a person leaves the HWR Berlin, the blog page is deactivated or responsibilities change, and it takes place at the latest at the end of the semester following the submission of the examination paper (i.e. if the module is attended in the winter semester 2026\/27, the data, contributions, and comments are deleted at the end of the summer semester 2027 , e.g. September 30th<\/sup> 2027, at the latest).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Use of Cookies<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

        WordPress uses cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored in the web browser or by the web browser on the computer system of the user.
