Legal basis
Insofar as the University obtains the consent of the data subject for the collection of personal data (e.g. contact form, newsletter), Article 6 (1) a DSGVO serves as the legal basis.

When processing personal data that is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Art. 6 (1) lit. b DSGVO serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures.

Art. 6 para. 1 lit. e DSGVO is the legal basis for the fulfilment of tasks of the university according to the State University Act M-V.

If the processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of the university and the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the first-mentioned interest, Art. 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO serves as the legal basis for the processing.
