To access certain other parts of the Site (Tandem Section), a registration is required (see Terms of Use for more information).

Use of Public Section without registration

If you want to merely gather information about EUniTa and the EUniTa Erasmus+ Project, i.e. if you do not register and/or log-in to the Tandem Section, only the following data will be acquired when you visit the Site and will be evaluated in anonymized form for statistical purposes and to improve the Site and the Programme (see Terms of Use for further reference to the Programme):

Use of Tandem Section and/or of Public Section if you are a registered user

If you wish to use the Tandem Section of the Site, you must register by placing your name and your email address when prompted to create an account ('account'). You will be prompted to confirm your registration in an e-mail to your e-mail account. In order to start a tandem search, you will need to provide further data, e.g. mother language, date of birth, academic field etc. EUniTa/GU will not verify your name, but the name provided when registering will appear on language certificates. Your e-mail address will only be used to confirm your registration. In addition, we will also save your tandem progress, i.e. how much time is spent tandem learning, chat protocols and library use etc.

If you are logged-in to your account, the categories of data specified above under “Public Section” will be acquired and used for statistical purposes and to improve the Site and the Programme. However, we will not evaluate the data in a way attributable to you.

Please note that, if you are a registered user and are logged into your account, the Site will not distinguish between your use of the Public Section and your use of the Tandem Section, i.e. that also data about your use of the Public Section is theoretically attributable to your account. In any event, we will not evaluate this data in a way attributable to you. If you do wish to browse the Public Section without your data being attributable to your account, please make sure to log-out before visiting the Public Section. If you terminate your account, we will delete all personal data attributed to your account. If you wish to terminate your account, please follow the instructions in FAQ/help.
