12. Newsletter-Tracking

To enable a statistical evaluation of our newsletters via a log file recording and log file analysis, our newsletters can include tracing pixels and link trackers. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic embedded in such emails, which are sent in HTML format. Using these tracking mechanisms, we can see if and when an email was opened, and which links were visited in the email. This information is collected anonymously and is not linked to any other personal information. This excludes the possibility of direct personalization. After 6 months, this statistical data is automatically deleted.

13. Embedding YouTube Videos

On our websites, videos of the platform www.youtube.com can be integrated, which are stored on https:/www.youtube-nocookie.com and are directly playable from our website.

To counteract a data transfer before playing the videos, the videos are provided in the extended privacy mode, i.e. that no data about you as a user will be transferred to YouTube if you do not play the videos (two-click solution). Only when you play the videos the data mentioned below will be transferred. We have no further influence on this data transfer.

In addition, if a Google account is logged on, this data is linked to the account. Against the formation of user profiles, you have a right of objection which you have to assert against YouTube.

14. Photo and video recordings during our events.

Photo and video recordings are made during our events. We use this for reporting and marketing purposes. For this purpose, the recordings are subsequently published in various media, such as website, press releases, newsletters, brochures, print products, etc. This allows us Article 6 (1) lit. f GDPR because there is a legitimate interest for us to report on the event and promote it. Since you are attending a public event, we assume that, from your point of view, there are no general reasons against the production of photo and film shoots and the processing for the purposes described. If this is not the case, please contact the entrance check immediately. If you are in the recording field, please also inform our photographers or cameramen immediately.

15. Routine erasure and blocking of personal data

We only store personal data of you for the period required to achieve the purpose of storage, as far as this is granted by the European legislator or other legislators in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject to.

If the purpose of storage is omitted or a storage period prescribed by the European directives and regulations or other competent legislator expires the personal data are routinely blocked or deleted according to the legal regulations.

16. Legal basis for the processing

We will inform you that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or can also result from contractual regulations (e.g. information about the contract partner). Sometimes it may be necessary for a contract to be concluded that an affected person provides us with personal data which must subsequently be processed by us. For example, you are obligated to provide us with personal information when we conclude a contract with you. Non-provision of personal data would result in the contract being unable to be concluded with you.

Art. 6(1) lit. a GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose.

If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party, as is the case, for example, when processing operations are necessary for the supply of goods or to provide any other service, the processing is based on Article 6(1) lit. b GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations which are necessary for carrying out pre-contractual measures, for example in the case of inquiries concerning our products or services. We do not transfer your data to third parties at any time, unless this is necessary for the execution of the contract or is required by law, or you have expressly given us your consent to do so.

Is our company subject to a legal obligation by which processing of personal data is required, such as for the fulfillment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6(1) lit. c GDPR. With full settlement of the contractual relationship your data will be deleted after the expiration of the tax and commercial retention periods, unless you have expressly agreed to the continued use of your data.

In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were injured in our company and his name, age, health insurance data or other vital information would have to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. Then the processing would be based on Art. 6(1) lit. d GDPR.

Finally, processing operations could be based on Article 6(1) lit. f GDPR. This legal basis is used for processing operations which are not covered by any of the abovementioned legal grounds, if processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data. Such processing operations are particularly permissible because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. He considered that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a client of the controller (Recital 47 Sentence 2 GDPR).
