The data obtained through the survey will be used exclusively for statistical purposes within the meaning of Section 17 of the North Rhine-Westphalia Data Protection Act (DSG NRW). In order to continuously improve the siren warning system of the state capital Düsseldorf, the survey will, among other aspects, collect data on how well the sirens could be heard during the test alarm, depending on the location of the respondents.

Participation
Participation in the survey is voluntary.
By participating in the survey, you consent to the processing of the data you provide in accordance with Article 7 of the GDPR.

The survey will be conducted as an open online survey. The internet link or QR code for accessing the online survey will be published in a press release, on the social media channels of the state capital Düsseldorf, on Rheinbahn advertising boards, etc. In case you have any questions, please call 0211 8993387 or send an email to befragungen@duesseldorf.de.

As part of the survey, you will be asked for your location at the time of the siren test alarm. You have the option of sharing your location via Google Maps and displaying it on the map. If you use the Google Maps function, personal data will be collected. By sharing your location, you consent to the collection, processing and use of the automatically collected data and any additional data you may have entered by Google Inc. or its representatives. You can object to this use by deactivating location sharing on your device (Android/iOS) or disabling the JavaScript function in your browser.

The purpose of requesting your location is solely to record the perception of the siren test alarm in the Düsseldorf city area. No conclusions can be drawn about your person.
