Neither your name nor your e-mail address will be published unless you do so voluntarily. Voluntary publication of data by yourself remains unaffected. The bulletin board ad market is publicly accessible. Please be aware that other websites, including search engines and other users of the Internet, may process data from the advertisement text you publish electronically – contrary to these terms of use – although the content of the pinboard is excluded from collection by search engines.
In principle, we do not process and/or use any of your personal data when you use our online service. There is no use of cookies or social media offers when using the service.
We only collect and store the following data, which is processed exclusively in fulfillment of the user contract for the services of the pinboard (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR):
- E-mail address (personal)
- Statistics on page views, data traffic
- Technical IP addresses of the user and standard internet protocol data
When you visit our website, we also store the domain name or IP address of the requesting computer, the client’s file request (file name and URL), the HTTP response code, the website from which you visit us and the date and duration of your visit for a limited period of time. The data is stored exclusively for the purpose of identifying malfunctions or misuse of our online services and our telecommunications services/systems, insofar as it is necessary to establish further connections and/or for billing purposes. Your usage data will not be analyzed to create personal usage profiles.
When you contact us by e-mail, the personal data you provide (your e-mail address, your first and last name and, if applicable, your telephone number) will be stored by us in order to answer your questions and thus fulfill obligations arising from the user contract. We delete the data arising in this context after storage is no longer required, or restrict processing if there are statutory retention obligations.
The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lt. b GDPR.
Your usage data will not be used for any other purpose or passed on to third parties.
b) Disclosure of personal data to third parties
WHU – Otto Beisheim School of Management does not pass on personal data to third parties unless this is necessary to fulfill mandatory legal obligations.
c) Duration of the processing of personal data
The maximum duration of storage depends on the purpose of the data processing. The duration of storage depends in particular on the period for which processing is necessary to fulfill the purpose or to comply with legal obligations. When using the pinboard, this is generally the duration required to fulfill the user contract and the rights and obligations arising from it. The statutory retention obligations, in particular pursuant to Section 257 HGB and Section 147 AO (6 or 10 years), remain unaffected.
d) Place of data processing
The processing of your personal data by us takes place in Germany or in member states of the European Union. Your data will not be transferred to a third country when you use the pinboard.

For example, we comply with the legal requirements for the pseudonymization and encryption of personal data, for the confidentiality, integrity, availability and resilience of systems and services in connection with processing, for the availability of personal data and the ability to restore it quickly in the event of a physical or technical incident, and for the establishment of procedures to regularly review, assess and evaluate the effectiveness of technical and organizational measures to ensure the security of processing.
e) Right of the data subject
You have a right to free information about your personal data and, if the legal requirements are met, a right to rectification, blocking and erasure of your data, to restriction of processing, to data portability and a right to object.
Insofar as we base the processing of your personal data on the balancing of interests, you can object to the processing.
