Reviewing, Editing, Changing and Deleting Data
You may review, delete, and edit your personal information on DEIMS-SDR. Please note that changes will be applied prospectively. For example, if you remove a postal address there is no way to stop people who have previously viewed or downloaded the data from using it.
In limited circumstances, DEIMS-SDR may proactively correct data in a record where errors are a result of system errors, changed standards specifications, or other obvious errors not caused by you.
If there is personal data on DEIMS-SDR without your consent, please inform us and we will delete that information accordingly.
Please be aware that if you share personal information like your e-mail address it will show up in the metadata records for each generated dataset.
How to Access and Control Your Personal Data Records
You can view, edit or delete your personal data online by editing your "person" page.
You can always choose to change the provided information or delete it altogether. If someone puts information about you on DEIMS-SDR you can contact us and we will delete that information right away.
How your personal data records are made available
There are multiple ways to access DEIMS-SDR data. Every site record is available in our interactive “Site map”. There are search masks and APIs to extract site data, which includes personal data of site managers, contact personnel or metadata creators. There is also the possibility to extract filtered data in excel CSV-Format where personal data of site managers is included. This last option is only available to people logged in to DEIMS-SDR.
Server logs
The following data are logged in the server logs: the user’s IP address and data concerning the time of the request, the purpose of the request, the data volume transmitted, a notification stating whether the request was successful, the browser and the operating system used, and the website from which the access was made (if the access was made via a link). The data is only used to ensure system security. Server logs are kept for 6 months.
Your rights
You have as a matter of principle the right to be informed, to have data corrected or deleted, to restrict processing, the right to data portability and the right to object and withdraw your consent. If you think that the processing of your data is in breach of the data protection law, or that your legal claims under the data protection law have been breached in any other way, you can lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority. In Austria, this is the Austrian Data Protection Authority. If you wish to exercise your right to object or withdraw your consent to the processing of your personal data in connection with this website, please contact us using the contact form.
