Tools [at the TU] versus [on the web]

Information on Data Protection

Here you will find tools that are either provided directly by the TU Darmstadt or by university cooperations within the framework of which members of the TU may use the corresponding tool.
>> These tools are marked with [at the TU]. They are used by lecturers, for example, for online assignments and communication. They have also been checked from a data protection perspective, and we often offer support and advice for them.

In addition, you will find suggestions for online tools and apps that can make digital studying easier and can usually be used free of charge.
>> These are marked with [on the web]. You should decide for yourself whether and how to use them with regard to your data. If you have any doubt regarding the tools, please contact our colleagues in the data protection department.

TIP: for web tools that do not require registration/login, use the VPN with the profile setting “Campus” to mask your IP address.
