# GDPR Compliance

GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation, or DSGVO in German) compliance refers to the legal framework governing the processing of personal data within the European Union. 

In the context of the [[universitat-greifswald]] and its [[matrix]] service, compliance is specifically addressed through:
- **Articles 13 and 14**: Providing transparent information to users about how their data is processed.
- **Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. a DSGVO**: Establishing user consent as the legal basis for processing personal data for voluntary services.
- **Right to Erasure**: The obligation to delete personal data upon request or when it is no longer needed, balanced against technical limitations of specific protocols.
