Welcome to the website of Staff Unit 02.3. This consists of
- the data protection officer of the University of Cologne (Mr May) and his deputy (Ms Klein), and
- the coordinator for IT security in the university administration (Mr Münzel)
The two subject areas (data protection and IT security) are formally managed separately.
On data protection:
If you have any questions, complaints or suggestions regarding data protection, please contact Mr May or Ms Klein. Your inquiry will be subject to legal professional secrecy.
Since the number of enquiries in connection with the GDRP has risen rapidly, we ask for your understanding if our response takes some time. Otherwise, please check back with us after a while.
Via the navigation bar on the right side you will receive
- basic information on the GDRP and its significance for the University of Cologne
- a comprehensive introduction to research data protection (new)
- further information on individual topics.
The work of the official data protection officer is organizationally part of to the Chancellor’s office at the University as part of Staff Unit 02. Irrespective of this, the data protection officer reports directly to the university headship and is not subject to instructions in his or her function.
On IT Security in the University Administration:
The Staff Unit is responsible for improving the security of IT systems – for the time being exclusively for the university administration, however. The contact person is Mr Münzel.
