2. What data we process
- Technical visit data: when you visit the website, the server automatically logs your IP address, time of visit, page visited and browser information (log files). We use them solely to ensure the security and operation of the website (legitimate interest, Article 6(1)(f) GDPR) and do not combine them with other data.
- Data you provide: if you contact us by e-mail or via a form on the website, we process the data in your message (name, e-mail, content) solely to respond to your enquiry.
Newsletter sign-up: if you sign up for the newsletter, we process your e-mail address (and name, if provided) based on your consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR) solely to send conference updates. You can withdraw consent at any time via the link in each message or at dpo@fs.uni-lj.si.
Only aggregated, anonymous visit statistics (AWStats) are generated on the server from the log files, without cookies and without sharing data with third parties. We do not use any advertising or profiling tools.

You can delete or block cookies at any time in your browser settings, but some website functions may then not work.

The website is hosted on servers of Arctur d.o.o. in its data centre in Nova Gorica (Slovenia), which acts as a processor on behalf of UL FS. When Google reCAPTCHA is used, data may be transferred to the USA on the basis of the EU–US Data Privacy Framework or standard contractual clauses.
6. Retention
Server log files are automatically deleted after 10 days. The server is backed up once a day; backups, which may also contain the data described above, are kept for one year and then deleted. Newsletter data is kept until you unsubscribe. Messages you send us are kept as long as necessary to handle your enquiry.
7. Your rights
You have the right to access, rectify, erase and restrict the processing of your personal data, the right to object and the right to withdraw consent. Please send your request to dpo@fs.uni-lj.si.
