The data are processed for the purpose of the process of the WZB Visiting Scholars Program. You are free to also let us know how you learnt about the WZB.

Your rights:

You are entitled to request information about which data we store about you and for which purpose we store them. In addition, you can have incorrect data corrected or have data erased that must not be stored or need not be stored any longer. You are entitled to restrict the processing of your data and have a right to data portability. Further, you have the right to file a complaint about ongoing data processing with a supervisory authority. If the data are collected based on Art. 6 (1) (1) (f) GDPR (data processing for the purposes of legitimate interests), you are entitled to object to the processing of your data based on reasons resulting from your special circumstances at any time.
