If we have to cancel an event, we will refund your participant fees immediately. Additional claims against HLRS are not permitted, except for cases of willful intent or gross negligence.

Our online courses are usually performed with "Zoom". The registration in the conference system is done by entering "first name last name". This and the active participation in the course are the prerequisites for the issue of a certificate at the end of the course. In order to protect your personal rights you can also register with your initials or a freely chosen abbreviation instead of "first name last name". Please inform the course organizer in advance so that your name can be assigned for the issue of the course certificate.

The same applies if appropriate authorities or courts address inquiries to the university and the university is obliged to comply with them.
The personal data identified above are stored according to budgetary or state law requirements for up to 10 years after course registration is processed (ยง 14 UstG or 4.1 AnO Schriftgut).
Additional information concerning data protection, in particular about your rights, can be found on the HLRS website at https://www.hlrs.de/privacy-notice.
