<p style="text-align: justify;">Within the framework of UNEP´s International Methane Emissions Observatory (<a href="https://www.unep.org/explore-topics/energy/what-we-do/methane" target="_blank">IMEO</a>), scientists from
the DLR Institute of Atmospheric Physics (DLR-IPA) have just finished successful measurements of methane (CH4) emissions from coal mining operations in Poland. A novel airborne measurement concept for the reliable
quantification of greenhouse gas emissions has been developed in close collaboration with the Institute of Flight Guidance (IFF) of the
<a href="https://www.tu-braunschweig.de/en/iff" target="_blank">Technische Universität Braunschweig</a> (TUBS). The HELiPOD, a helicopter sonde flown as a sling load in a wire below the helicopter, has been equipped with
in situ instrumentation from DLR-IPA to measure important greenhouse gases as <a name="_Hlk109028660">CH<sub>4</sub></a> and carbon dioxide (CO<sub>2</sub>) in vicinity of coal mines. The Upper Silesian Coal Basin (USCB)
in Poland, one of the regions in Europe with the highest density of active coal mines where considerable amounts of CH<sub>4</sub> are emitted, was selected as target region for the airborne mission. </p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">The airborne measurements were carried out from the airport in Bielsko-Biala and performed in the vicinity of coal mine ventilations shafts, where accumulated CH<sub>4</sub> from the
underground mines is released in order to prevent explosions. Methane emissions from three different ventilation shafts in the USCB region were probed during 10 mission flights (~30 flight hours) in cooperation with the
Polish helicopter company Helipoland. Measurements were performed up- and downwind of the shafts (horizontal distance ~0.5 km - 5 km), and at multiple heights up to ~1-2 km to map the CH<sub>4</sub> emissions. During the
flights, the HELiPOD mission monitor in the cockpit displayed measurements online allowing the mission scientist to successfully guide the helicopter through the emissions of interest. Combined with highly-resolved wind
information from the HELiPOD these measurements will be used to estimate the <a name="_Hlk108803184">CH<sub>4</sub></a> flux from the shafts with the ultimate goal to compare these emission rates to reported values from
the coal mine operators. Thereby, the variability of CH<sub>4</sub> emissions depending on the diurnal work activity in the mines will also be considered. In addition, the airborne measurements were supported by
ground-based CH<sub>4 </sub>measurements carried out by a local team of Polish scientists from the <a href="https://www.agh.edu.pl/en/" target="_blank">AGH University of Science and Technology in Krakow</a>.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">This new measurement strategy using helicopter in-situ measurements to capture CH<sub>4</sub> emissions from single point sources was shown to be extremely powerful to study trace gas
emissions on local scales. It offers a number of advantages compared to common airborne measurement methods (e.g. reduced flight costs, large manoeuvrability, option to remain at a certain point of interest or to reduce
air speed significantly). After the successful demonstration of this novel airborne concept, further joint DLR-TUBS measurements are planned in Poland in October 2022 and in Oman in 2023, funded by UNEP within the IMEO
program. In Oman the major goal is to address the lack of methane measurement data from the oil and gas sector in countries with a high production activity, as e.g. the Middle East, and to start to close this gap by
conducting first field measurements.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Methane is the second most important man-made greenhouse gas after carbon dioxide and has a radiation trapping efficiency of about 80 times higher than CO<sub>2</sub> during the first 20
years after its emission. Due to its short lifetime (~10 years) compared to CO<sub>2</sub> (~100-1000 years), methane is in the focus of current mitigation policies to reduce global warming, as announced at COP26 in
Glasgow (<a href="https://www.globalmethanepledge.org/" target="_blank">Global Methane Pledge</a>). The data collected will help coal mine operators as well as oil and gas companies and governments to prioritize their
actions and policies with the goal to reduce methane emissions worldwide.</p>

STUDYING METHANE EMISSIONS FROM POLISH COAL MINES USING A NOVEL AIRBORNE CONCEPT
18 July 2022

the Bielsko-Biala airport, Poland (Foto: DLR / H. Huntrieser, CC BY-ND-NC 3.0).
Within the framework of UNEP´s International Methane Emissions Observatory
(IMEO), scientists from the DLR Institute of Atmospheric Physics (DLR-IPA) have
just finished successful measurements of methane (CH4) emissions from coal
mining operations in Poland. A novel airborne measurement concept for the
reliable quantification of greenhouse gas emissions has been developed in close
collaboration with the Institute of Flight Guidance (IFF) of the Technische
Universität Braunschweig (TUBS). The HELiPOD, a helicopter sonde flown as a
sling load in a wire below the helicopter, has been equipped with in situ
instrumentation from DLR-IPA to measure important greenhouse gases as CH4 and
carbon dioxide (CO2) in vicinity of coal mines. The Upper Silesian Coal Basin
(USCB) in Poland, one of the regions in Europe with the highest density of
active coal mines where considerable amounts of CH4 are emitted, was selected as
target region for the airborne mission.
Figure2: The helicopter sonde HELiPOD in flight (Photo: DLR / H. Huntrieser, CC
BY-ND-NC 3.0).
The airborne measurements were carried out from the airport in Bielsko-Biala and
performed in the vicinity of coal mine ventilations shafts, where accumulated
CH4 from the underground mines is released in order to prevent explosions.
Methane emissions from three different ventilation shafts in the USCB region
were probed during 10 mission flights (~30 flight hours) in cooperation with the
Polish helicopter company Helipoland. Measurements were performed up- and
downwind of the shafts (horizontal distance ~0.5 km - 5 km), and at multiple
heights up to ~1-2 km to map the CH4 emissions. During the flights, the HELiPOD
mission monitor in the cockpit displayed measurements online allowing the
mission scientist to successfully guide the helicopter through the emissions of
interest. Combined with highly-resolved wind information from the HELiPOD these
measurements will be used to estimate the CH4 flux from the shafts with the
ultimate goal to compare these emission rates to reported values from the coal
mine operators. Thereby, the variability of CH4 emissions depending on the
diurnal work activity in the mines will also be considered. In addition, the
airborne measurements were supported by ground-based CH4 measurements carried
out by a local team of Polish scientists from the AGH University of Science and
Technology in Krakow.
This new measurement strategy using helicopter in-situ measurements to capture
CH4 emissions from single point sources was shown to be extremely powerful to
study trace gas emissions on local scales. It offers a number of advantages
compared to common airborne measurement methods (e.g. reduced flight costs,
large manoeuvrability, option to remain at a certain point of interest or to
reduce air speed significantly). After the successful demonstration of this
novel airborne concept, further joint DLR-TUBS measurements are planned in
Poland in October 2022 and in Oman in 2023, funded by UNEP within the IMEO
program. In Oman the major goal is to address the lack of methane measurement
data from the oil and gas sector in countries with a high production activity,
as e.g. the Middle East, and to start to close this gap by conducting first
field measurements.

Methane is the second most important man-made greenhouse gas after carbon
dioxide and has a radiation trapping efficiency of about 80 times higher than
CO2 during the first 20 years after its emission. Due to its short lifetime (~10
years) compared to CO2 (~100-1000 years), methane is in the focus of current
mitigation policies to reduce global warming, as announced at COP26 in Glasgow
(Global Methane Pledge). The data collected will help coal mine operators as
well as oil and gas companies and governments to prioritize their actions and
policies with the goal to reduce methane emissions worldwide.

IV. GENERAL INFORMATION ON DATA PROCESSING
1. Scope of processing of personal data
We process personal data concerning our users exclusively to the extent required
to provide a functioning website, as well as our content and services.
Ordinarily, we will only process the personal data of our users after obtaining
their consent. An exception to this rule is where obtaining prior consent is
factually impossible and the processing of the data is permitted by law.
2. Legal grounds for the processing of personal data
Where we obtain consent from the data subject for the processing of personal
data, the legal grounds are set out in Art. 6, paragraph 1, part (a) of the EU
General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
Where personal data is processed for the performance of a contract in which the
data subject is a contractual partner, the legal grounds are set out in Art. 6,
paragraph 1, part (b) of the GDPR. This also applies to processing that is
necessary for pre-contractual measures.
Where personal data is processed for compliance with a legal obligation to which
our research centre is subject, the legal grounds are set out in Art. 6,
paragraph 1, part (c) of the GDPR.
Where processing of personal data is necessary for the protection of vital
interests of the data subject or another natural person, the legal grounds are
set out in Art. 6, paragraph 1, part (d) of the GDPR.
Where processing is necessary for the legitimate interests of our research
centre or a third party, and where the fundamental rights and freedoms of the
data subject do not override the first interests, the legal grounds are set out
in Art. 6, paragraph 1, part (f) of the GDPR.
3. Data deletion and duration of data storage
The personal data of the data subject will be deleted or blocked as soon as the
purpose of storage no longer applies. In addition, storage takes place if
authorised by Union or Member State directives, laws or other regulations to
which the controller is subject. Blocking or deletion of the data shall also
take place when a storage period stipulated by one of the above standards comes
to an end, except where it is necessary to continue storing the data to enter
into or perform a contract.
V. PROVISION OF THE WEBSITE AND GENERATION OF LOG FILES
a) Description and scope of data processing
Our system automatically collects data and information from the accessing
computer system each time our website is visited.
The following data is collected in this context:
1. Information about the browser type and version
2. The user’s operating system
3. The user’s Internet Service Provider
4. The user’s IP address
5. The date and time of access
6. Referrer website(s)
7. Websites accessed by the user from our website
The data is also stored in log files kept on our system. This data is not stored
together with other personal data concerning the user.
b) Legal grounds for data processing
The legal grounds for temporary storage of the data and log files are set out in
Art. 6, paragraph 1, part (f) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation
(GDPR).
c) Purpose of data processing
Temporary storage of the IP address by our system is necessary to deliver the
website to the computer of the user. For this purpose, the user’s IP address
must be stored for the duration of the session.
Storage in log files takes place to ensure functionality of the website. In
addition, the data is used to optimise the website and to ensure security of our
Information Technology systems. Data analysis for marketing purposes does not
take place in this context.
The DLR website collects a variety of general data and information each time it
is accessed by a data subject or an automated system. This general data and
information is stored in server log files. The data and information collected
include the (1) browser types and versions; (2) the operating system used by the
accessing system; (3) the website from which the accessing system arrives on our
website (the referrer); (4) the sub-pages visited by the accessing system; (5)
the date and time of accessing our website; (6) an Internet Protocol address (IP
address); (7) the Internet service provider of the accessing system and (8)
other similar data and information that is used to protect against risks in the
case of attacks on our Information Technology systems.
DLR does not draw any conclusions about the identity of the data subject during
use of this general data and information. Instead, this information is necessary
to (1) deliver the contents of our website in their correct form; to (2)
optimise the contents of our website and promote it; to (3) guarantee the
permanent functionality of our information technology systems and equipment used
for our website; and to (4) provide the information necessary for law
enforcement organisations to investigate cyber-attacks. This anonymous data and
information is analysed by DLR, firstly for statistical purposes, and secondly
with the objective of increasing data protection and data security at our
research centre, and hence to achieve an optimum level of protection for the
personal data processed by us. The anonymous data contained in the server log
files is stored separately from all other personal data concerning the data
subject.
These purposes justify our legitimate interests in data processing according to
Art. 6, paragraph 1, part (f) of the GDPR.
d) Duration of storage
The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer needed for the purpose for which
it was collected. In the case of data collection for the provision of this
website, this applies at the end of each session.
In the case of data stored in log files, this occurs after no longer than seven
days. Further storage is possible; in these cases, the users’ IP addresses are
deleted or pseudonymised to prevent any association with the accessing client.
e) Right to objection and removal
The collection of data for the provision of our website and the storage of data
in log files is crucial to operation of the website. Hence, users are not
granted a right to object.
VI. USE OF COOKIES
a) Description and scope of data processing
Our website uses cookies. Cookies are text files placed on the user’s computer
system by a browser and stored there.
Numerous websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain what is referred
to as a cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique cookie identifier. It consists of a
sequence of characters with which Internet pages and servers can be assigned to
the Internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This enables visited
Internet pages and servers to distinguish the data subject’s individual browser
from other Internet browsers containing different cookies. The unique cookie ID
is used to recognise and identify a particular Internet browser.
The use of cookies allows DLR to provide visitors to this website more
user-friendly services than would be possible without cookies.
We use technically necessary cookies to improve our website’s user friendliness.
Some elements on our website make it necessary to recognise the accessing
browser when moving from page to page. Cookies can be used to optimise the
information and services on our website in the interests of our users. As stated
above, cookies allow us to recognise visitors to our website. The purpose of
this recognition is to facilitate use of our website by visitors. For instance,
visitors to a website that uses cookies do not need to enter login details
during each visit, as this information is obtained by the website from the
cookie placed on the user’s computer system.
In addition, our website uses cookies to analyse Internet usage by visitors.
The following data can be transferred in this way:
* Search terms entered
* Frequency of page access
* Usage of website functions
Technical measures are implemented to pseudonymise the data collected from users
in this way. It is therefore not possible to associate the data with the
accessing user. The data is not stored together with other personal data
concerning the user.
An information banner referring users to the use of cookies for analysis
purposes is shown when they access our website, and reference to this Privacy
Notice is provided. Users are also informed of how to adjust their browser
settings in order to prevent the storage of cookies.
Users are informed of our use of cookies for analysis purposes when accessing
our website, and their consent to the processing of personal data used in this
context is obtained. A reference to this Privacy Notice is provided as well.
Section IX contains a detailed description of data processing in connection with
the web analysis tools that we use.
b) Legal basis for data processing
i. The legal grounds for the processing of personal data using technically
necessary cookies are set out in Art. 6, paragraph 1, part (f) of the EU General
Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
ii. The legal grounds for the processing of personal data using cookies for
analysis purposes with consent of the user are set out in Art. 6, paragraph 1,
part (a) of the GDPR and § 25 (1) TTDSG.
c) Purpose of data processing
Technically necessary cookies are used to make our website user friendly. Some
functions on our website cannot be provided without the use of cookies, as they
require that the browser is recognised when moving from page to page.
The user data collected with technically necessary cookies is not used to
produce user profiles.
On the use of cookies that are not necessary for technical reasons:
Analysis cookies are used to improve the quality of our website and its
contents. Through the use of analysis cookies, we find out how the website is
used and are therefore able to optimise our service continuously. A more precise
description is contained under Section IX of this document.
These purposes represent our legitimate interest in processing personal data
according to Art. 6, paragraph 1, part (f) of the GDPR.
e) Duration of storage; right to objection and removal
The data subject can adjust the settings of the Internet browser at any time to
prevent our website from placing cookies as described, and therefore block
cookies on a permanent basis. In addition, the browser or other software
programs can be used to delete cookies that have already been placed at any
time. This is possible with all standard Internet browsers. The data subject may
not be able to use the full functionality of our website if cookies are disabled
in the active Internet browser.
You can change the settings of your Internet browser to disable or restrict the
transfer of cookies at any time. Cookies that have already been placed on your

IX. WEB ANALYSIS WITH MATOMO (FORMERLY KNOWN AS PIWIK)
1. Scope of the processing of personal data
We use the open source software tool Matomo (formerly PIWIK) on our website to
analyse the browsing behaviour of our users. The software places a cookie on the
user’s computer (see above for more details of cookies). The following data will
be saved if individual pages are visited on our website:
* Two bytes of the IP address of the user’s accessing system
* The accessed website
* The website from which the user reached the accessed website (referrer)
* The sub-pages accessed from the website
* How long the user remained on the website
* How often the website was accessed
* The software hereby runs exclusively on the servers for our website. The
user’s personal data is only stored there. This data will not be forwarded to
third parties.
2. Legal basis for the processing of personal data
The legal basis for processing the user’s personal data is point (f) of Art. 6
(1) of the GDPR.
3. Purpose of data processing
Processing the user’s personal data allows us to analyse the browsing behaviour
of our users. By analysing the collected data we are able to compile information
about how individual components of our website are being used. This helps us to
constantly improve our website and its usability. Profiling does not take place.
These purposes justify our legitimate interests in processing data pursuant to
point (f) Art. 6 (1) of the GDPR. The anonymisation of the IP address takes due
account of the user’s interest in the protection of their personal data.
4. Duration of storage
The software has been configured so that the IP addresses are not stored
completely. Two bytes of the IP address are masked (e.g.: 192.168.xxx.xxx). In
this way, the shortened IP address can no longer be assigned to the accessing
computer.
5. Right to objection and removal (opt-out option)
Cookies are stored on the user’s computer and transmitted to our page from
there. This is why as a user you have full control over the use of cookies. You
can deactivate or restrict the transfer of cookies by changing the settings of
your Internet browser. Cookies that have already been saved can be deleted at
any time. This can take place automatically. If cookies for our website are
deactivated you may not be able to use all of the functions provided by the
website.
We offer users of our website an opt-out option for the analysis procedure. To
opt out, follow the link and deactivate the web analysis. As a result, a further
cookie will be placed on your system that tells our system not to save the
user’s data. If the user temporarily deletes the corresponding cookie from their

The controller has integrated components of YouTube on this website. YouTube is
an Internet video portal that enables video publishers to upload video clips
free of charge and that permits other users to view, rate and comment on these
videos, also free of charge. YouTube allows the dissemination of all kinds of
videos, so that full movies and TV programmes, as well as music videos, trailers
and videos produced by users, are accessible on the Internet portal.
The operating company of YouTube is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA
94066, USA. YouTube, LLC is a subsidiary of Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy,
Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.
With each visit to one of the individual pages of this Website that are operated
by the controller and on which a YouTube component (YouTube video) has been
integrated, the Internet browser on the Information Technology system of the
data subject is automatically prompted to download a display of the
corresponding YouTube component.
The embedding code for YouTube videos was generated in advanced data privacy
mode (for more detailed information in this regard, visit
https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/171780).
Further information about YouTube is available at
https://www.youtube.com/intl/en/yt/about/. During the course of this technical
procedure, YouTube and Google acquire knowledge of the specific sub-page of our
website that was visited by the data subject.
If the data subject is simultaneously logged into YouTube, YouTube recognises –
with each visit to a sub-page that contains a YouTube video – which specific
sub-page of our website the data subject visited. This information is collected
by YouTube and Google and associated with the YouTube account of the data
subject.
YouTube and Google will receive information through the YouTube component that
the data subject has visited our website if the data subject is simultaneously
logged into YouTube when visiting our website; this occurs regardless of whether
the person clicks on a YouTube video or not. If such a transmission of
information to YouTube and Google is not desirable for the data subject, then he
or she can prevent this by logging off from their YouTube account before
visiting our website.
YouTube’s privacy policy, which is available at
https://policies.google.com/privacy, provides information on the collection,
processing and use of personal data by YouTube and Google.
The data subject has granted consent for this form of data processing by
confirming the use of cookies upon first access of the DLR website. The legal
basis for processing of the data after consent by the user is set out in Art. 6,
paragraph 1, part (a) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and §
25 (1) TTDSG.
XI. USE OF TWITTER
The controller has integrated Twitter components on this website. The Twitter
plug-ins (tweet button) are identified by the Twitter logo (blue bird) on our
website. For an overview of tweet buttons, click here:
https://about.twitter.com/resources/buttons.
Twitter is a multilingual, publicly accessible microblogging service on which
users can publish and disseminate so-called tweets, which are short messages of
no more than 280 characters. These short messages are accessible to everyone, so
also to persons not registered with Twitter. The tweets are also shown to the
user’s Twitter ‘followers’. Followers are other Twitter users that have
subscribed to the tweets by a certain user. In addition, Twitter enables the
addition of hashtags, links or retweets to address a broad audience.
The operating company of Twitter is Twitter, Inc., 1355 Market Street, Suite
900, San Francisco, CA 94103, USA.
When you visit a page on our website containing this kind of plug-in, a direct
connection is established between your browser and the Twitter server. Twitter
therefore receives information that you visited our page with your IP address.
If you click on the Twitter ‘tweet button’ while logged into your Twitter
account, you can link the content of our page to your Twitter profile. Twitter
is therefore able to associate your Twitter account with your visit to our
pages. We would like to point out that, as the provider of the pages, we are not
aware of the content of the data transmitted or how Twitter uses it.
Please log out of your Twitter user account if you do not want Twitter to
associate your visit to our website with your account.
With each visit to one of the individual pages on this website that are operated
by the controller and on which a Twitter component (Twitter button) has been
integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the
data subject will be automatically prompted by the respective Twitter component
to download a displayable Twitter component from Twitter. For further
information on the Twitter buttons, visit https://publish.twitter.com/. In the
course of this technical procedure, Twitter becomes aware of which sub-page of
the website the data subject has visited. The purpose of integrating the Twitter
component is to enable our users to disseminate the content of the web page, to
publicise the web page in the digital world and to increase our visitor numbers.
Where the data subject is simultaneously logged onto Twitter, Twitter will
recognise (for the duration of the visit to our website) each individual
sub-page that the data subject visits while accessing our website. This
information is collected by the Twitter component and associated with the
Twitter account of the data subject. Where the data subject clicks on one of the
twitter buttons integrated on our website, the data and information transmitted
in this way will be associated with the Twitter user account of the data subject
and will be stored and processed by Twitter.
The Twitter component will also inform Twitter if the data subject has visited
our website, while simultaneously logged into their Twitter account; this takes
place regardless of whether or not the data subject clicks on the Twitter
component. If such a transmission of information to Twitter is not desirable for
the data subject, then he or she can prevent this by logging off from their
Twitter account before visiting our website.
The applicable Twitter privacy policies can be accessed at:
https://twitter.com/privacy.
The data subject has granted consent for this form of data processing by
confirming the use of cookies upon first access of the DLR website. The legal
grounds for processing of the data after consent by the user are set out in Art.

XII. USE OF INSTAGRAM
The controller has integrated components of the service Instagram on this
website. Instagram is a service that is classified as an audiovisual platform,
which allows users to share photos and videos, as well as disseminate this data
on other social networks.
The operating company of the services offered by Instagram is Instagram LLC, 1
Hacker Way, Building 14 First Floor, Menlo Park, CA, USA.
With each visit to one of the individual pages on this website that are operated
by the controller and on which an Instagram component (Instagram button) has
been integrated, the Internet browser on the Information Technology system of
the data subject is automatically prompted to download a displayable Instagram
component. During the course of this technical procedure, Instagram becomes
aware of what specific sub-page of our website was visited by the data subject.
Where the data subject is simultaneously logged onto Instagram, Instagram will
recognise for the duration of the visit to our website each individual sub-page
that the data subject visits while accessing our website. This information is
collected through the Instagram component and is associated with the Instagram
account of the data subject. If the data subject clicks on one of the Instagram
buttons integrated on our website, then Instagram associates this information
with the personal Instagram user account of the data subject and stores the
personal data.
Instagram receives information via the Instagram component that the data subject
has visited our website if the data subject is logged in at Instagram at the
time of visiting our website. This occurs regardless of whether or not the
person clicks on the Instagram button. If such a transmission of information to
Instagram is not desirable for the data subject, then he or she can prevent this
by logging off from their Instagram account before visiting our website.
For more information about the applicable Instagram privacy policies, visit

XIII. USE OF THE VIMEO
We present videos on our website using services such as those provided by Vimeo.
Vimeo is operated by Vimeo, LLC with headquarters at 555 West 18th Street, New
York, New York 10011, USA.
We use Vimeo plugins on some of our webpages. When you visit a page that
contains such plugins – for example, our Media Library – a connection is
established with the Vimeo servers and the plugin is shown. This provides the
Vimeo server with information about the pages you have visited on our website.
If you are logged onto Vimeo as a member, then Vimeo will automatically
associate this information with your personal user account. When you activate
the plugin (for example, by clicking the start button of a video), the
corresponding information is also associated with to your user account. You can
prevent the automatic association of this information by logging out of your
Vimeo account and deleting its cookies before logging onto our website.

XIV. USE OF FACEBOOK
The controller has integrated components of the enterprise Facebook on this
website. Facebook is a social network.
A social network is a place for social meetings on the Internet – an online
community – which usually allows users to communicate with each other and
interact in a virtual space. A social network may serve as a platform for the
exchange of opinions and experiences, or enable the Internet community to
provide personal or business-related information. Facebook allows social network
users to create private profiles, upload photos and network through friend
requests.
The operating company of Facebook is Facebook, Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park,
CA 94025, United States. If a person lives outside of the United States or
Canada, the controller is Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand
Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.
With each visit to one of the individual pages of this website that are operated
by the controller and into which a Facebook component (Facebook plug-in) has
been integrated, the web browser on the Information Technology system of the
data subject is automatically prompted to download a displayable Facebook device
from Facebook through the Facebook component. An overview of all the Facebook
plug-ins may be accessed under https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/.
During the course of this technical procedure, Facebook is made aware of what
specific sub-pages of our website were visited by the data subject.
If the data subject is logged into their Facebook account, Facebook detects,
with every visit to our website by the data subject – and for the entire
duration of their stay on our website – which specific sub-pages of our Internet
site were visited by the data subject. This information is collected through the
Facebook device and associated with the Facebook account of the data subject. If
the data subject clicks on one of the Facebook buttons integrated in our website
(for example, the ‘Like’ button), or if the data subject submits a comment, then
Facebook associates this information with the personal Facebook user account of
the data subject and stores some personal data.
Facebook always receives, through the Facebook component, information about a
visit to our website by the data subject whenever the data subject is logged in
to Facebook during their visit to our website. This occurs regardless of whether
or not the data subject clicks on the Facebook component. If such a transmission
of information to Facebook is not desirable for the data subject, then he or she
may prevent this by logging off from their Facebook account before visiting our
website.
The data protection guideline published by Facebook, which is available at
https://facebook.com/about/privacy/, provides information about the collection,
processing and use of personal data by Facebook. It also explains which setting
options Facebook offers to protect the privacy of the data subject. In addition,
a variety of applications are available that enable the prevention of data
transfer to Facebook. These applications may be used by the data subject to
prevent data transmission to Facebook.
The data subject has granted consent for this form of data processing by
confirming the use of cookies upon first access of the DLR website. The legal
basis for processing of the data after consent by the user is set out in Art. 6,

browser on the Information Technology system of the data subject automatically
downloads a displayable version of the Google+ button of Google through the
Google+ button component. During the course of this technical procedure, Google
is made aware of what specific sub-page of our website was visited by the data
subject. More detailed information about Google+ is available under
https://developers.google.com/+/.
If the data subject is logged in to Google+, Google recognises with each visit
to our website by the data subject and for the entire duration of his or her
stay on our website, which specific sub-pages of our website were visited by the
data subject. This information is collected through the Google+ button and
Google associates this with the Google+ account of with the data subject.
If the data subject clicks on the Google+ button integrated on our website and
thus gives a Google+ recommendation, then Google associates this information
with the personal Google+ user account of the data subject and stores some
personal data. Google stores the Google+ recommendation of the data subject,
making it publicly available in accordance with the terms and conditions
accepted by the data subject in this regard. Subsequently, a Google+
recommendation given by the data subject on this website together with other
personal data, such as the Google+ account name used by the data subject and the
stored photo, is stored and processed on other Google services, such as search
engine results of the Google search engine, the Google account of the data
subject or in other places – for example, on Internet pages or in relation to
advertisements. Google is also able to link the visit to this website with other
personal data stored by Google. Google further records this personal information
with the purpose of improving or optimising the various Google services.
Through the Google+ button, Google receives information that the data subject
visited our website, if the data subject is logged in to Google+ at the time of
their visit to our website. This occurs regardless of whether or not the data
subject clicks on the Google+ button.

XIX. DATA PROTECTION FOR APPLICATIONS AND DURING THE APPLICATION PROCESS
The controller collects and processes applicants’ personal data for the purpose
of administering the application process. This processing might also be
performed electronically. This is particularly the case if an applicant submits
application documents to the controller by electronic means, for example by
e-mail or via a web form on the website. If the controller concludes a contract
of employment with an applicant, the data transmitted will be stored for the
purposes of the employment relationship in accordance with the law. If no
employment contract is concluded with the candidate by the controller, the
application documents will be deleted automatically six months after the
notification of the rejection decision, unless deletion would affect other
legitimate interests of the controller. Other legitimate interests in this sense
might be, for example, satisfying the burden of proof in a proceeding under the
General Equal Treatment Act (Allgemeinen Gleichbehandlungsgesetz; AGG).
XX. Rights of the data subject
Where personal data concerning you is processed, you are the data subject as
defined in the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and you have the
following rights with respect to the controller:
a) Right to information
You have the right to obtain from the controller confirmation of whether
personal data concerning you is processed by us.
Where such processing takes place, you have the right to obtain the following
information from the controller:
* the purposes for which the personal data is processed;
* the categories of personal data that is processed;
* the recipients, or categories of recipients to whom the personal data
relating to you has been or will be disclosed;
* the planned duration of storage of the personal data concerning you, or the
criteria applied to defining the duration of storage if precise information
in this regard is not available;

subject;
* You also have the right to obtain information on whether the personal data
concerning you has or will be transferred to a third country or to an
international organisation. In this regard, you are entitled to request
information on the appropriate guarantees in place with regard to this
processing in accordance with Art. 46 of the GDPR.
The controller will provide a copy of the personal data that is subject to
processing. Where you request additional copies, the controller is entitled to
charge an appropriate fee based on administrative costs. If you place the
application by electronic means, the information will be made available in a
standard electronic format, except where otherwise specified by you. The right
to receive a copy in accordance with paragraph 3 of this section must not

* if you have objected to processing pursuant to Art. 21, paragraph 1, of the
GDPR, pending the verification of whether the legitimate reasons of the
controller override your reasons.
Where processing of the personal data concerning you has been restricted, such
personal data shall, with the exception of storage, only be processed with your
consent or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims or for the
protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of
important public interest of the Union or of a Member State.
Where you have obtained restriction of processing under the conditions set out
above, you will be informed by the controller before the restriction of
processing is lifted.
d) Right to deletion
Obligation to delete
You have the right to request the controller to delete personal data concerning
you without undue delay, and the controller will be obliged to delete personal
data immediately where one of the following grounds applies:

data, the controller, taking account of available technology and the cost of
implementation, is required to take reasonable steps, including technical
measures, to inform controllers who are processing the personal data that you
have requested to be deleted by such controllers, as well as any links to,
copies or replications of such personal data.
Exceptions
The right to deletion does not apply to the extent that processing is necessary:
* for exercising the right of freedom of expression and information;
* for compliance with a legal obligation under Union or Member State law to
which the controller is subject or for the performance of tasks carried out
in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the
controller;
* for reasons of public interest in the area of public health in accordance
with parts (h) and (i) of Art. 9, paragraph 2 and Art. 9, paragraph 3 of the
GDPR;
* for archiving purposes in the public interest, for scientific or historical
research purposes or for statistical purposes in accordance with Art. 89,
paragraph 1 of the GDPR, insofar as the rights referred to in section (a) are
likely to render impossible or seriously impair the achievement of the
objectives of that processing; or
* for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
e) Right to notification
Where you have exercised the right to correction, deletion or restriction of
processing with the data controller, the data controller shall be obliged to
notify all recipients to whom the personal data concerning you was disclosed of
this correction or deletion of data or of the restriction of processing, except
where compliance proves to be impossible or is associated with a
disproportionate effort.
In addition, you are entitled to require that the data controller inform you
about these recipients.
f) Right to data portability
You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you, which you have
provided to the controller, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable
format and have the right to transfer that data to another controller without
hindrance from the controller to which the personal data have been provided,
where:
the processing is based on consent pursuant to part (a) of Article 6, paragraph
1 or part (a) of Article 9, paragraph 2 of the GDPR or in a contract pursuant to
part (b) of Art. 6, paragraph 1 of the GDPR; and
the processing is carried out by automated means.
In exercising your right to data portability, you have the right to have the
personal data concerning you transmitted directly from one controller to
another, where technically feasible. This must not adversely affect the rights
and freedoms of other persons.
The right to data portability does not apply to processing that is necessary for
the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise
of official authority vested in the controller.
g) Right to object
You have the right to object, at any time, on grounds relating to your
particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning you, which
is based on parts (e) or (f) of Art. 6, paragraph 1 of the GDPR; this includes
profiling based on those provisions.
The controller shall no longer process the personal data concerning you, unless
the controller demonstrates compelling legitimate grounds for the processing
which override your interests, rights and freedoms or for the establishment,
exercise or defence of legal claims.
Where personal data concerning you is processed for direct marketing purposes,
you have the right to object, at any time, to the processing of personal data
concerning you for the purpose of such marketing. This applies also to profiling
to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing.
Where you object to processing for direct marketing purposes, the personal data
will no longer be processed for such purposes.
In the context of the use of information society services, and notwithstanding
directive 2002/58/EC, you may exercise your right to object by automated means
that use technical specifications.
Where personal data is processed for scientific or historical research purposes
or for statistical purposes pursuant to Art. 89, paragraph 1 of the GDPR, you
have the right, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to object to
processing of personal data concerning you, except where the processing is
necessary for the performance of a task carried out for reasons of public
interest.
Should you wish to exercise your right to withdraw consent or to object, please
send an email to datenschutz@dlr.de.
h) Right to withdraw consent pursuant to Art. 7, paragraph 3 of the GDPR
You have the right to withdraw your consent to the processing of data at any
time, with future effect. In the event that you withdraw consent, we will delete
the data concerned immediately, except where processing can be based on legal
grounds that do not require consent. The withdrawal of consent will not affect
the lawfulness of processing carried out prior to withdrawal of consent.
i) Automated individual decision-making, including profiling
You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated
processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects for you or
similarly significantly affects you.
This does not apply if the decision:
* is necessary for entering into, or performance of, a contract between you and
the data controller;
* is authorised by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject
