Privacy Policy
The SALSA consortium takes the protection of your personal data very seriously. For this reason, we have taken measures to ensure that the regulations on data protection are observed both by us and by our external service providers and partners.
In the course of the further development of our Internet offer and the technologies used, changes to this data protection declaration may also become necessary. We therefore recommend that you re-read the data protection declaration from time to time. The following statement gives you an overview of how the SALSA consortium ensures the protection of your data and what kind of data is collected for what purpose.
Personal data
At some points on the website, you will be asked to provide personal information. We store and use the transmitted (personal) data exclusively for the purpose for which they were provided. It will not be passed on to third parties. In addition, you will be explicitly requested at these points to agree to the storage and forwarding of data. Automatically stored log data is deleted after a limited period of time.

- type and version of your internet browser
- operating system used
- the page you are visiting
- the previously visited page (referrer URL)
- time of the server request.
The SALSA consortium evaluates data solely for statistical purposes in order to measure the demand of the web offers. The SALSA consortium has no possibility to assign this data to a specific person. A combination of these data with other data sources is not made. IP numbers are recorded for the duration of the visit for the purpose of answering queries and are not stored beyond the end of the visit. Data logged when accessing the internet offer will only be transmitted to third parties if we are obliged to do so by law or by court decision or if the transmission is necessary for legal or criminal prosecution in case of attacks on the internet infrastructure of the SALSA consortium. A passing on in other cases does not take place.
Data processing via social networks
The SALSA consortium operates publicly available profiles on social networks, including LinkedIn.
These social networks are able to analyze in depth user behavior when visiting their websites.
If you are logged into your social media account and visit our social media presence, the operator of the social media portal can associate this visit with your user account. Under certain circumstances, however, your personal data may also be collected if you are not logged in or do not have an account with the respective social media portal. In these cases, your data may be collected through cookies that are stored on your terminal device or through the collection of your IP address.
With the help of the data collected in this way, the operators of social media portals can create user profiles that contain your preferences and interests. This also enables them to show you advertising based on your interests within and outside the respective social media platform. If you have an account with the relevant social network, it is possible to show you advertisements related to your interests on all devices on which you are or were logged into your account.
Please also note that we are not able to track all processing operations on social media portals. Therefore, depending on the provider, the operators of social media portals may carry out further processing operations. For further details, please refer to the terms of use and the privacy notices of the respective social media portals.
We have no influence on the storage period of the data that the operators of the social networks store for their own purposes. You can find specific information on this directly from the operators of the social networks.
