Procedure

Data - Variant 1 Anonymised data from road users (m/f/d) in the form of trajectories:

The camera systems temporarily record personal image data of traffic or road users (m/f/d) in the detection area.

The personal image data collected is automatically stored in a volatile working memory (cache) for approx. 350 ms and extracted into anonymised scientific vector data by means of real-time processing (algorithm).

Data - Variant 2 Image data for validation of the scientific research data and further development of the acquisition algorithm:

To validate the scientific research data and the algorithm, recordings are made of the traffic and road users (m/f/d) in the detection area. This image data is blurred and deliberately stored at such a low resolution that neither faces nor licence plate numbers are clearly recognisable. The image data is deleted as soon as the purpose of the processing no longer applies.

6. Recipient/third party

Data processing in the research organisation

In the context of research projects, it may be necessary for us to transfer your personal data (see 5. Data categories) to the DLR institute responsible for analysing the respective experiment.

External organisations involved in research

In order to achieve the planned research results, it may be necessary for us to transfer your personal data (see 5. Data categories) to other organisations outside DLR that are involved in the research. These organisations are regularly bound to secrecy and confidentiality when handling your personal data. If, in the context of this outsourcing of research to external bodies outside DLR, order processing is involved, a contract corresponding to the requirements of Art. 28 GDPR is concluded and thus an appropriate level of data protection is guaranteed.

External service providers

Our external service providers who carry out data processing on our behalf are contractually obliged within the meaning of Art. 28 GDPR or a cooperation agreement to treat personal data in accordance with the applicable regulations. Insofar as the external service providers process your personal data (see 5. Data categories), we have taken legal, technical and organisational measures and carried out regular checks to ensure that they comply with the provisions of the data protection laws.

7. Storage

The personal data (see 5. Data categories) are stored on an internal, secure DLR server, which is managed by a central, certified DLR provider.

8. Cancellation

The personal data (see 5. Data categories) of the data subject will be deleted immediately as soon as the purpose of the processing no longer applies. Data may also be stored if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in EU regulations, laws or other provisions to which the controller is subject.
