My internship company in Germany wants me to include a Privacy Statement in my internship report, what is it and where can I find one?
A privacy statement (or secrecy agreement) is like a legally binding promise you make to the company of not publishing any of the information within the report or make the content accessible to anybody but your supervisor at the university who needs to approve your internship. According to our internship report instructions you would need to include it in your report if a company requires it.
You can find many examples for privacy statements online and often companies would have their own sample. If they do please use theirs, otherwise you could use the one below:
