Data Protection

This is to let you know how we handle your data. As many of the PDAF users do not speak German, we provide this description in English.

The personal data we store is that which you enter when you register for downloading PDAF. Here, you name and email address is used to send your individual download link or to contact you in case of updates to PDAF. The Institution and Country are used for statistical purposes. When you download a PDAF-packe we store the information which package was downloaded by you and the date and time. This information is also only used for statistical purpose. We don't forward your data to any third person, unless we are required so by law.
