Responsible for the content pursuant to § 18 (2) MStV: Rima Alaifari (address as above).

This is a personal website. It is not an official website of RWTH Aachen University. My official university profile can be found on the website of the Department of Mathematics at RWTH Aachen University.

Privacy Policy (Datenschutzerklärung)

1. Controller. The controller within the meaning of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is Rima Alaifari (contact details above).

2. Overview. You can visit this website without providing any personal data. It does not use cookies, tracking or analytics tools, advertising, social media plugins or content loaded from third parties (such as web fonts, scripts or videos).

3. Hosting and server log files. This website is hosted by ALL-INKL.COM – Neue Medien Münnich, Hauptstraße 68, 02742 Friedersdorf, Germany, on servers in Germany. The hosting provider processes data on my behalf under a data processing agreement (Art. 28 GDPR). Each time you access a page, your browser automatically transmits information that is recorded in server log files: your IP address (shortened before it is stored: the last two blocks are removed, e.g. 11.22.33.44 becomes 11.22.0.0), date and time of the request, the page or file requested, the referring URL, browser and operating system (user agent), status code and amount of data transferred. These data are processed to deliver the website, to ensure its security and stability (e.g. to detect and defend against attacks) and to compile anonymous access statistics. The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR; the legitimate interest lies in the secure and reliable operation of the website. The log files are deleted automatically after 190 days. The data are not combined with other data sources.

4. Contact by e-mail. If you contact me by e-mail, your e-mail address, the content of your message and any information you provide (for example in an application) are processed in order to answer your request. The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR and, where your request relates to entering into a contract or an employment relationship (e.g. an application for a PhD or postdoctoral position), Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR and § 26 BDSG. The e-mail address shown on this website belongs to RWTH Aachen University; messages are received via the university’s e-mail system. Your data are deleted when they are no longer required for the purpose, unless statutory retention periods apply.

5. Links to other websites. This website contains links to external websites (e.g. arXiv, publishers, conference pages, LinkedIn). No data are transmitted to these providers when you merely view this website; data are only transmitted when you click a link. The respective provider’s privacy policy then applies. The LinkedIn link is a plain link, not a social media plugin.

6. Encryption. This website uses TLS encryption (https) for the secure transmission of data.

7. Your rights. Under the GDPR you have the right of access (Art. 15), rectification (Art. 16), erasure (Art. 17), restriction of processing (Art. 18) and data portability (Art. 20). You have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to processing based on Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR (Art. 21). To exercise these rights, an informal e-mail to the address above is sufficient. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority (Art. 77 GDPR), in particular in the EU Member State of your habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement.

8. Further information. Providing personal data is neither legally nor contractually required. No automated decision-making or profiling takes place. Personal data are not transferred to countries outside the European Union or the European Economic Area.
