Data Protection

Scope and updates
This data protection policy applies to the use of the websites www.stasa.de and www.stasa.eu. STASA takes the protection of your personal information extremely seriously and adheres to prevailing data protection laws, including the regulations of the German Telemedia Act (Telemediengesetz, “TMG”) and Federal Data Protection Act (Bundesdatenschutzgesetz, “BDSG”). Data that we gather or that you submit to us is only acquired, used, processed, stored, or, if necessary, shared with third parties (and in such instances, only if required by law or if stipulated by a contractual obligation) according to prevailing data protection legislation (TMG/BDSG). If our website needs to be updated or has to be adapted to new technology, it may become necessary to make amendments to this data protection policy. Steinbeis therefore reserves the right to amend its data protection policy whenever necessary in accordance with latest developments.

STASA does not share your personal information with third parties. The only times we do not adhere to this fundamental principle are when:

  • you give us your permission to share information
  • information has to be shared in order to deliver products or services that you require

  • it is necessary to adhere to a legal obligation to provide information to parties entitled to receive this information

The owners or operators of third-party websites are responsible for the content of such websites under all circumstances. Websites linked to by our website were checked for illegal content when the link was programmed. No illegal content was found on third-party websites when links were set up.

Standard period for data deletion
There are certain storage obligations and standard storage periods due to legal requirements. After the obligatory storage period, data is routinely deleted.
