Data protection information image and sound recordings
At events with large numbers of participants, image and sound recordings can also be carried out during the event. The image recordings will show individuals or groups of participants who are not in the centre of the picture. Media representatives, the Writing Centre of TU Dresden and its cooperation partners are entitled to publish the recordings for public information. This particularly applies to publication on tu-dresden.de/deinstudienerfolg/szd, on social media channels of the Writing Centre (Facebook) and in printed media (information brochures, press releases, presentations). Participating persons have the right to object at any time, for reasons arising from their particular situation, to the making of image and sound recordings concerning them. The objection is to be communicated to the person producing image or sound recordings at the location.

With your registration, you agree to the sending of emails related to the offer.
4. Period of storage
All retrieved data is stored on the servers of the Writing Centre of TU Dresden. After completion of the offer and the associated evaluation, the data is anonymised and permanently stored in anonymised form.
On the day of some events, such as the Long Night of Writing or a Writing Marathon, signature lists with names and affiliations generated from the collected data are available.
