Cookies</h4> <p> Cookies are text files that we store on your computer. They enable us to monitor when and how you use our digital offers over a defined period of time. We use cookies for various purposes that are described below. </p> <p> If you do not want any cookies to be stored on your computer, you must disable this function according to the instructions provided in your web browser.

If we have obtained your consent, your personal data will only be used for the purposes covered by this consent. </p> <h5>Revocation of consent</h5> <p> You have the right to revoke your consent to the use of personal data connected with the aforementioned services at any time. Please note that you will no longer be able to use these services after you have revoked your consent. </p> <h4>2.

Depending on the product, you can either register directly online or have the account created by <a href="mailto:editor@zbmath.org">our customer service</a>. </p> <p> If necessary, we will provide you with further information relevant to the separate Terms and Conditions or Terms of Use for our online products. The regulations contained therein and the purposes for which we are using the personal data that are mentioned in these Terms and Conditions or Terms of use have the following legal basis: </p> <ul> <li> If you have concluded a contract with us in order to use our digital offers, the personal data required to perform this contract are processed according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. </li> <li> Beyond performing our contractual obligations we will process your data if this is necessary in order to safeguard a legitimate interest of our own or of third parties.

Personal Metadata</h4> <p> In some of our digital offers we are processing metadata from scientific publications (including publications of data). Metadata describe a publication in order to identify it and to make it easily retrievable. These metadata also contain personal information that was either published by the respective persons themselves or that we have taken from publicly available sources: </p> <ul> <li> Names of the authors or the persons who generated the data </li> <li> Persistent, unambiguous person identifiers (e.g., ORCID, VIAF, GND-ID, WikiData-ID) </li> <li> Information about which institution the persons belong to </li> <li> Hyperlinks to authors’ academic websites </li> </ul> <p> These personal metadata are usually processed together with other, non-personal descriptive metadata (e.g., the title of the publication, abstract, copyright holder). The purposes for which the data are processed and published include </p> <ul> <li> Supporting the scientific discourse, </li> <li> Searching for and providing publications, </li> <li> Acknowledging and correctly attributing scientific achievements, </li> <li> Archiving global research knowledge, and </li> <li> Persistently providing the descriptive metadata as a set of research data. </li> </ul> <p> All metadata are permanently stored within the scope of providing our services. </p> <p> The legal basis for processing and publishing these data is GDPR Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. </p> <p> The descriptive metadata are processed for research and storage purposes and are required in order to fulfil the specific purposes mentioned above. Therefore, the persons concerned may only object on grounds of their particular situation and if the interests, basic rights and fundamental freedoms of the persons concerned prevail over the legitimate interest mentioned above. </p> <p> We are always interested in correcting faulty metadata and completing incomplete sets of metadata, if necessary. Therefore, we are very grateful for any hint on missing data and errors to be corrected. Just contact us at one of the addresses listed in section V.6. </p> </div> </div> <div class="row"> <div class="column1"> <h3>III. Disclosure of personal data</h3> <h4> 1.
