We process this data in accordance with Art. 9 of the Information and Data Protection Act of the Canton of Basel-Stadt (IDG) or the corresponding university regulations.
If and insofar as the European Data Protection Regulation (DSGVO) applies, we process the data:

Any consent you have given us for certain services can be revoked at any time with effect for the future.

Instead of deletion, the data will be blocked if there are legal or contractual reasons against deletion.
If you would like us to delete your personal data completely, please contact: Neuroscience Network Basel, neuro@unibas.ch

Does the Neuroscience Network Basel.unibas.ch website use web analytics tools?
On the website Neuroscience Network Basel the web analysis component Google Analytics is integrated.
Privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en
Web analysis (tracking) is the collection, compilation and evaluation of data about the behavior of website users. Among other things, a web analysis tool collects data on which website a person came to a website from (so-called referrer), which subpages of the website were accessed or how often and for how long a subpage was viewed. A web analysis is used to optimize a website.
What third party services does the Neuroscience Network Basel.unibas.ch website use?
We integrate services of third parties, paying attention to the principles of data protection (especially purpose limitation, data minimization and, if possible, without data transfer to unsafe third countries).
Google Search
The University of Basel uses the Google Custom Search Engine (Google CSE) as a central search service. User data is automatically transmitted to Google when the search function on a page is activated and used.
When you activate and use the full-text search, you also agree to the use of the Google search service and thus the transmission of data to the Google service. This includes, for example, the search terms you enter and the IP address of the computer you use. Please note that different privacy standards apply for Google than the standards for the use of the unibas.ch website. We expressly draw your attention to the fact that the provider of the search service is responsible for the processing and, in particular, the storage, deletion and use of any personal data that is transmitted, and the University of Basel has no influence over the type and scope of data transmitted or the further processing of such data.
If you are also logged into Google, the Google service will be able to assign the information directly to your user profile.
Further information from Google about how it handles user data (privacy policy) is available at: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en.
Google Maps
We use the Google Maps API to display an interactive map and to create route maps.
As a result of the use of Google Maps, information about your use of the unibas.ch website (including your IP address) may be transmitted to a Google server in the US and stored there. Google may send the information obtained through Maps to third parties if doing so is legally required or if third parties process this data on behalf of Google.
You can deactivate the Google Maps service and thus prevent your data from being transmitted to Google by deactivating JavaScript in your browser. However, if you do so, you will not be able to use the map display on our website.
The Google privacy policy and additional user terms and conditions for Google Maps can be found at https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en&gl=ch.
Google also processes your personal data in the US and has submitted to the Swiss-US Privacy Shield (https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active)
