The data may be stored beyond this time if this is provided for by the European or national legislator in Union directives, laws or other regulations to which the controller is subject.

Duration of storage:
Your data will be deleted as soon as the purpose of its collection ceases to apply. Data stored in log files will be deleted after seven days at the latest. A longer storage period is possible. In this case, the users' IP addresses are deleted or alienated, so that an assignment of the calling client is no longer possible.
Right to objection and removal (opt-out option):
The collection of data its storage in log files is essential to operate this website. There is consequently no scope to object on the part of the user (no opt-out option).

Duration of storage:
The data will be deleted as soon as the purpose for its collection no longer applies. The user's e-mail address and other personal data are therefore stored as long as the newsletter subscription is active.
Right to objection and removal (opt-out option):
The user can terminate the newsletter subscription at any time. For this purpose, each newsletter contains an unsubscription link.
This also allows you to revoke your consent to the storage of personal data collected during the registration process.
Description and scope of data processing:
Our website offers a possibility to contact the German IPBES coordination office via e-mail and to express an interest in an expert profile. After evaluation by the German IPBES Coordination Office, eligible experts will be send a standardised form, in which they can provide information on the following points:
....regarding the person
- (Title), first and last name, expertise;
- Institutional connection and additional background information on person and institution (with links to external websites);
- Author in which expert group / task force (past and present); possibly further functions in the IPBES process;
- Participation in other IPBES-related activities
....to the following questions
- What is your motivation to actively participate in the IPBES process?
- What is special for you about the World Biodiversity Council IPBES?
- What is your main focus and what would be a valuable result from your point of view?
- What is you personal experience with "science-policy interfaces"? What opportunities and challenges do you see when working on such interfaces?
- What is your personal desire for the future of IPBES?
For the processing of the data, your consent will be obtained and you will be referred to this privacy policy.
In connection with the data processing for the creation of the expert profile website, there is no transfer of the data to third parties. The data is used for the target-group-oriented dissemination of information by e-mail.
Legal basis for data processing:
The legal basis for processing of the data after receipt of consent by the user is set out in Art. 6, paragraph 1, part (a) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Where personal data is processed for the performance of a contract in which the data subject is a contractual partner, the addtional legal grounds are set out in Art. 6, paragraph 1, part (b) of the GDPR.
Purpose of data processing:
A registration of the user may be necessary in order to fulfill a contract with the user or in order implement pre-contractual measures.
Example: The user signs up for an event organised by the DLR Project Management Agency. To organise this event, it is necessary that the users submit their names, contact details and, if necessary, further information regarding their participation in the event.
Duration of storage:
The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer needed for the purpose for which it was collected. This is the case when the data transmitted during the registration process for the fulfilment of a contract or the implementation of pre-contractual measures are no longer necessary to fulfill the contract. In some cases it may be necessary to store personal data of a contractual partner after the conclusion of a contract in order to meet contractual or legal obligations.
Continuing obligations make the storage of personal data during the contract duration necessary. Additionally, periods of warranty need to be considered and the storage of data for tax purposes. The periods of storage that need to be met cannot be determined in a generalised way, but needs to be determined for the closed contracts and contractual partners individually.
Right to objection and removal (opt-out option):
Users can rescind their registration and/or initiate the amendment of stored personal data at any time. To have your data amended or deleted, please get in touch with ipbes@dlr.de.
If data are necessary for the fulfilment of a contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, a premature deletion of data is only possible if no contractual or legal obligations preclude such a deletion.
VIII. Web analysis with Matomo (formerly known as PIWIK)
The “DLR Projektträger” analyse information on your use of our website for statistical purposes on the basis of your consent in accordance with Article 6 (1) (a) of the GDPR as part of public relations work and for the purpose of providing information on tasks. It does so using the Matomo web analytics service.
The following data is stored when individual pages of our website are accessed:
- two bytes of the IP address of the user’s retrieving system (anonymous)
- the web page accessed
- the website from which the user reached the accessed web page (referrer)
- the sub-pages loaded via the accessed web page
- the length of time spent on the web page
- how often the page has been accessed
The software is configured so that IP addresses are stored incomplete with 2 bytes concealed (e.g. 192.168.xxx.xxx). This makes it impossible for the shortened IP address to be linked to the retrieving computer, meaning that you remain anonymous as the user.
The relevant software runs only on the web servers of our service provider "DLR Projektträger". These are the only servers where user information is stored. No data is disclosed to third parties.
Change web analytics settings
If you want to modify your decision regarding web analytics – i. e. give your consent or withdraw it again - you can do this by checking or unchecking the box below.
Your selection is stored in a so-called consent cookie on your hard drive. The consent cookie is automatically deleted after 24 hours.
The controller has integrated components of YouTube on this website. YouTube is an Internet video portal that enables video publishers to upload video clips free of charge and that permits other users to view, rate and comment on these videos, also free of charge. YouTube allows the dissemination of all kinds of videos, so that full movies and TV programmes, as well as music videos, trailers and videos produced by users, are accessible on the Internet portal.
The operating company of YouTube is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. YouTube, LLC is a subsidiary of Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.
With each visit to one of the individual pages of this Website that are operated by the controller and on which a YouTube component (YouTube video) has been integrated, the Internet browser on the Information Technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted to download a display of the corresponding YouTube component.
The embedding code for YouTube videos was generated in advanced data privacy mode (for more detailed information in this regard, visit https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/171780).
Further information about YouTube is available at https://www.youtube.com/intl/en/yt/about/. During the course of this technical procedure, YouTube and Google acquire knowledge of the specific sub-page of our website that was visited by the data subject.
If the data subject is simultaneously logged into YouTube, YouTube recognises – with each visit to a sub-page that contains a YouTube video – which specific sub-page of our website the data subject visited. This information is collected by YouTube and Google and associated with the YouTube account of the data subject.
YouTube and Google will receive information through the YouTube component that the data subject has visited our website if the data subject is simultaneously logged into YouTube when visiting our website; this occurs regardless of whether the person clicks on a YouTube video or not. If such a transmission of information to YouTube and Google is not desirable for the data subject, then he or she can prevent this by logging off from their YouTube account before visiting our website.
YouTube’s privacy policy, which is available at https://policies.google.com/privacy, provides information on the collection, processing and use of personal data by YouTube and Google.
If your personal data is processed, you are the data subject within the meaning of the GDPR and you have the following rights vis-à-vis the controller:
Right to information:
You have the right to obtain confirmation from the controller of whether or not personal data concerning you is processed by us.
If this is the case, you can demand the following information from the controller:

You also have the right to obtain information on whether personal data concerning you was or will be transferred to a third country or to an international organisation. In this regard, you are entitled to request information on the appropriate guarantees in place with regard to this processing in accordance with Art. 46 of the GDPR.
This right of access can be limited, if it prevents or seriously impairs the realisation of research or statistical purposes, and if the limitation is necessary to fulfil research or statistical purposes.
Right to correction:
You have the right to rectification and/or completion by the controller if the processed personal data relating to you is incorrect or incomplete. The controller must carry out the rectification without undue delay.
This right of access can be limited, if it prevents or seriously impairs the realisation of research or statistical purposes, and if the limitation is necessary to fulfil research or statistical purposes.
Right to limit processing:
Under the following conditions, you can demand the restriction of the processing of your personal data,
- if you contest the accuracy of the personal data for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data;
- if the processing is unlawful and you oppose the erasure of the personal data and instead request the restriction of their use;
- if the controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but you require them for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, or
- if you have objected to processing pursuant to Article 21 (1) of the GDPR pending the verification whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override yours.
Where the processing of your personal data has been restricted, such data shall, with the exception of storage, only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or of a Member State.
If the processing is restricted in accordance with the aforementioned conditions, you will be informed by the controller before the restriction is lifted.
Your right to a restriction of the processing can be limited, if it prevents or seriously impairs the realisation of research or statistical purposes, and if the limitation is necessary to fulfil research or statistical purposes.
Right to deletion:
Obligation to delete:
You may require the controller to delete the personal data concerning you without undue delay, and the controller is obliged to delete that data without undue delay, if any of the following is true:
- the personal data concerning you are no longer necessary regarding the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed;

Exceptions:
The right to erasure does not exist if processing is necessary
- to excercise the right of freedom of expression and information;
- to comply with a legal obligation which requires processing by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject or for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller;
- for reasons of public interest in the area of public health in accordance with points (h) and (i) of Article 9 (2) as well as Article 9 (3) of the GDPR;
- for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes in accordance with Article 89 (1) of the GDPR in so far as the right referred to in paragraph 1 is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the achievement of the objectives of that processing; or
- to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
Right to notification:
If you have exercised the right to correction, deletion or restriction of processing with the data controller, the data controller shall be obliged to notify all recipients to whom the personal data concerning you was disclosed of this correction or deletion of data or of the restriction of processing, except where compliance proves to be impossible or is associated with a disproportionate effort.
In addition, you are entitled to require that the data controller informs you about these recipients.
Right to data portability:
You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you, which you have provided to the controller, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and you have the right to transfer that data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to which the personal data has been provided,
- if the processing is based on consent pursuant to point (a) of Article 6 (1) of the GDPR or point (a) of Article 9 (2) of the GDPR or on a contract pursuant to point (b) of Article 6 (1) of the GDPR; and
- if the processing is carried out by automated means.
In exercising your right to data portability, you have the right to have the personal data concerning you transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible. This must not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of other persons.
The right to data portability does not apply to processing that is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.
Right to object:
You have the right to object, at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning you, which is based on parts (e) or (f) of Art. 6, paragraph 1 of the GDPR; this includes profiling based on those provisions.
The controller shall no longer process the personal data concerning you, unless the controller demonstrates compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.
Your right to object can be limited, if it prevents or seriously impairs the realisation of research or statistical purposes, and if the limitation is necessary to fulfil research or statistical purposes.
Right to withdraw consent pursuant to Art. 7, paragraph 3 of the GDPR:
You have the right to withdraw your consent to the processing of data at any time, with future effect. In the event that you withdraw consent, we will delete the data concerned without undue delay, except where processing can be based on legal grounds that do not require consent. The withdrawal of consent will not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out prior to withdrawal of consent.
Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority:
Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you shall have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement, if you consider that the processing of personal data concerning you infringes the GDPR.
The supervisory authority with which the complaint has been lodged shall inform the complainant on the progress and the outcome of the complaint including the possibility of a judicial remedy pursuant to Article 78 of the GDPR.
