the information of and about students is a central pillar of quality development at Leibniz University Hannover. The administration, faculties and central facilities take the results into consideration, discuss them and derive targeted improvements as necessary.

The data gathered at the end of the survey (name and faculty) are used for no other purpose than the prize raffle. The processing of this data is carried out exclusively by employees of the ZQS, student and graduate surveys department.  
All employees who have access to the personal data in the course of the project are subject to the data protection laws in force. In this regard, the transfer of address data to third parties (even within the University) is strictly forbidden and the prohibition remains valid even when the employees no longer work at the University.

The legal basis for the collection of personal data is regulated by §17 of the University Law of Lower Saxony (NHG).

Your answers are stored during the survey phase on Leibniz University Hannover servers. The survey data is always sent over encrypted connections. The survey data is saved after the end of the field phase in a separate, closed server at the ZQS/quality assurance. The survey data is anonymous and is not deleted. By special request, the academic deans of the faculties can receive the survey data from the students of their faculty. This contains the survey data in anonymised form so that identifying an individual is impossible.

At the end of the survey, you will be asked if you want to take part in a prize raffle. To contact the winners and to settle payment of the incentives, we require that you enter your name, faculty and email address. These are stored in a separate form on a server belonging to Leibniz University Hannover and are deleted four weeks after the prize raffle. They are not connected to the data from the online survey.

The results of the LUH student survey are only ever published by the ZQS/quality assurance in aggregated form as a report, one which does not allow inferences to be made about individual persons.

The registration data (surname, first name and email) submitted via the form will be used exclusively for processing your participation in the raffle for the LUH Student Survey. Your data will not be connected to the responses from the survey, nor forwarded to third parties. Participation in the raffle is not possible without the transmission of data.

Your surname, first name and email address will be saved until the end of the raffle, and then deleted within four weeks.

The legal basis for the processing of data is your consent in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

You may send your withdrawal of consent by post to Leibniz University Hannover, ZQS, Callinstraße 14, 30167 Hannover or by email to Dr. Maren Kandulla (kandulla@zqs.uni-hannover.de). You will incur no other costs than the postage or transmission costs based on the current basic rates.

In accordance with Article 15 GDPR, you are entitled at any time to request comprehensive information from the Centre for Quality Enhancement in Teaching and Learning (ZQS) about the personal data concerning you that it has saved.

In accordance with Articles 16, 17 and 18 GDPR, you may at any time request the Centre for Quality Enhancement in Teaching and Learning (ZQS) to rectify, erase and block access to any and/or all personal data.

Once the consent to process your data has been withdrawn, and once your data has been erased or blocked, participation in the raffle will no longer be possible.

In addition, you may receive your data in a commonly used, structured and machine-readable format, and transmit these data without hindrance from us to another controller in the cases specified in Article 20 GDPR.
