Privacy Policy

Controller

The controller responsible for data processing on this website is the Deutsche Gesellschaft für angewandte Optik e.V. (German Society of Applied Optics; for address and contact details see the Legal Notice).

Server logs

When you visit the website, the server processes technically necessary data (including IP address, time and requested address) in error and redirect logs in order to ensure secure operation (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR). The logs are deleted as soon as they are no longer needed for this purpose, at the latest after two months.

Cookies

The website only sets a cookie if you choose a language; it stores this choice for 30 days.

Audience measurement

We count page views and downloads with Matomo – on the server side, without cookies and with a shortened IP address (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR). The individual records are deleted after 180 days. You can object to this measurement: the browser signals “Do Not Track” and “Global Privacy Control” are respected, or you can write to proceedings [at] dgao [dot] de.

E-mail and submissions

If you write to us or submit a manuscript, we process your details in order to handle your request or publish your contribution (Article 6(1)(b) and (f) GDPR).

Publication

With each article we publish the names and affiliations of the authors, their ORCID iD where available, and the contact address of the corresponding author. For the DOI we transmit these details to DataCite; for the URN we transmit the web address of the article to the German National Library (Deutsche Nationalbibliothek).

Recipients

Hosting and technical operation are carried out by service providers in Germany on behalf of the DGaO.

Your rights

You have the right of access, rectification, erasure and restriction of processing, the right to data portability and the right to object to processing, as well as the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority.
