A data protection statement for surveys with the software Unipark could look as follows, if the survey design is such that after the separation of the collected survey data from the - inevitably pseudonymous - connection data, it is no longer possible to draw conclusions about specific persons, not even with the help of additional data sources.

The survey serves the following purposes: […]

With this data protection statement we inform about the processing of personal data.

In terms of personal data, essentially the necessary connection data (in particular the IP address) are essentially collected in order to be able to participate in the survey.

The information collected when participating in the survey is generally NO longer personal data after completing and submitting the questionnaire, as the collection is carried out in such a way that it is not possible to draw conclusions about the participating person (anonymization).

The controller according to Art. 4 No. 7 EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is Technische Universität Ilmenau (TU Ilmenau), Ehrenbergstr. 29, 98693 Ilmenau, Germany, legally represented by the President.

Within the University the following the responsible contact person is: […]

The TU Ilmenau will processes personal data on the legal basis of Art. 6 para. 1 subpara. 1 lit. e of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

The personal data, i.e. the connection data as stated above, are only used to enable participation in the survey. The data are not processed for any other purpose. The TU Ilmenau will also not gain any knowledge of this connection data, as they are stored only by our order processor Unipark.

The information in the survey is no longer personal data (see above); its use depends on the stated purpose of the survey.

The connection data are stored for a maximum of 7 days.

As described above, the legal basis is the fulfillment of a public task and not consent. Nevertheless, there is NO obligation to participate in the survey. This also has no negative effects; in particular, no one at the TU Ilmenau can or will know whether a person has participated in the survey or not.
