Scope of data collection, processing and use

As a matter of principle, we pursue the goal of limiting the collection, processing and use of personal data during your visit to our websites to the minimum necessary. We also only collect the data that we absolutely need to fulfil the purpose.

Likewise, we do not knowingly collect personal data from minors (= persons under 18 years of age). In cases in which we discover that personal data has been made available to us by minors, we delete this data immediately. We recommend that legal guardians pay attention to the Internet activities of minors in their care.

Personal data
According to Art. 4 DSGVO, personal data are all information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. This includes, for example, information such as first and last name, address, e-mail address, telephone or mobile telephone number, but usually also the IP address.

Purpose of the data processing

If you voluntarily provide us with your data for the purposes listed below, we will process and use this data exclusively for the purposes for which you have provided your data. This includes the following purposes:

All target groups - answering feedback requests:

By clicking on the feedback button you have the possibility to send us anonymous feedback on your experience of using the Praxisportal. Optionally, you can also enter an e-mail address there. If you make use of this option, we may contact you to further specify your feedback.

Target group students - Registration and use of the Praxisportal:

For registration we use the Shibboleth-IdP Single Sign-On of the University of Tübingen. Your user name and password are checked centrally by the Centre for Data Processing at the University of Tübingen and are not stored on our servers. Via Shibboleth-IdP your name as well as your student e-mail address of the University of Tuebingen will be transmitted to us after the first login, which we store in our database. In addition, you have to enter your faculty and department at the first login. We store this data to increase the relevance of the search results for you. We also store the time when you first logged in to the Praxisportal as well as the time of your last login for our internal usage statistics. Your search queries are processed by an external service provider (Algolia SAS, 55 Rue d'Amsterdam, 75008 Paris, France). The queries are only passed on to this service provider in a completely anonymous form. Once a search has been confirmed and the search results transmitted, it is not possible for us or any third party (Algolia) to assign a search query to an individual user. Likewise, we do not record which users call up which job advertisements

Target group students - sending e-mails for search subscriptions and for information purposes:

If you create automatic notifications of new job advertisements (search subscriptions), we use your student e-mail address to send you new job advertisement at the desired intervals according to the search criteria you have selected. Search subscriptions are not publicly visible, but we can view them and assign them to individual student accounts. You can view, edit, deactivate or permanently delete your search subscriptions at any time under the menu item "My profile". Furthermore, we occasionally use your stored e-mail address to inform you about updates of the Praxisportal and offers for career entry or to contact you about possible technical problems.

Target group employers - operation of an organizational profile:

A prerequisite for the publication of job advertisements in the Praxisportal is the creation of an organization profile which can be viewed by logged-in student users. This profile consists of a description of the organization and an optional logo. To register, a contact person with business address, telephone number and e-mail address must also be provided. This contact information is not publicly available by default, but can optionally be made available to logged-in student users at your request. In any case, it is visible to authorized employees of the University of Tübingen and can be used to contact you under certain circumstances (see below).

Target group employers - registering with an organization profile and publishing job advertisements:

To register an employer account in the Praxisportal, we ask for your name and an official e-mail address and store these together with your membership of an organization profile in our database. We also store the time when you first registered on the Praxisportal as well as the time of your last registration for our internal usage statistics. Your self-chosen password for login is not stored in plain text on our servers, but encrypted with a hash function.

When creating a job advertisement, it is possible, but not obligatory, that you name an additional contact person for the advertisement with address, telephone and/or e-mail address. This data, as well as all data contained in the job advertisement text provided by you and, if applicable, an additional PDF document, will be stored by us and transmitted to the external service provider Algolia (Algolia SAS, 55 Rue d'Amsterdam, 75008 Paris, France) for indexing. Algolia processes these data solely for the purpose of providing suitable search results for students (Algolia Privacy Policy, Section 9: www.algolia.com/policies/privacy). We also store all data on calls for job advertisements on our servers beyond the publication period - but for a maximum of 10 years - in order to offer you an archive of past job advertisements and for our internal statistics.
We reserve the right to share job advertisements in an abbreviated form without personalised email addresses on our social media to improve our internet presence.

Target group employers - communication by e-mail or telephone:

We use the contact data from the company profiles, user accounts and job advertisements for communication via e-mail and telephone. We will contact you, for example, if you have any queries regarding the quality guidelines of the Praxisportal, missing or unclear information on individual advertisements or if you have technical problems. Shortly before the end of the publication period of an advertisement, we will send you an automatically generated note to the e-mail address of the user accounts with which the advertisement was posted. In addition, if an organization profile remains inactive for a longer period of time (approx. 12 months), we will send an e-mail reminder to the contact person specified in the organization profile and/or one or more user accounts linked to the organization profile. Furthermore, we will inform you about current innovations in the Praxisportal or contact you with an offer of cooperation, or within the framework of career path events that aim to provide career orientation for our students. If it is necessary for the smooth operation of a company profile on the Praxisportal (e.g. to find lost login data), we will pass on saved names and e-mail addresses to third parties, but only to other representatives of the same employer.
