0.1 LinkedIn Plugin
Our website uses functions of the LinkedIn network. The provider is LinkedIn Corporation, 2029 Stierlin Court, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“LinkedIn”).
To enhance the protection of your data when visiting our website, LinkedIn plugins are not integrated without restriction but are incorporated solely by means of an HTML link (the so-called “Shariff” solution by c’t). This integration ensures that no connection to LinkedIn’s servers is established when you access a page on our website containing such plugins. Only when you click on the LinkedIn button will a new browser window open and access the LinkedIn website.

Newsletter
If you have expressly consented, we will regularly send our newsletter to your email address. To receive our newsletter, you must provide us with your email address and subsequently verify it. Additional data is either not collected or provided voluntarily. The data is used exclusively for sending the newsletter.
The data provided when subscribing to the newsletter is processed exclusively on the basis of your consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. You may withdraw your consent at any time. An informal notification by email is sufficient for this purpose, or you may unsubscribe using the “unsubscribe” link contained in the newsletter. The lawfulness of any data processing carried out prior to the withdrawal of consent remains unaffected.
Data entered for the purpose of setting up the subscription will be deleted if you unsubscribe. If this data has also been provided to us for other purposes and in another context, it will continue to be retained for those purposes.
Contacting Us
If you contact us, including by email, the data you provide, including your contact details, will be stored in order to process your inquiry and to respond to any follow-up questions. This data will not be disclosed without your consent.
Your data is processed exclusively on the basis of your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You may withdraw consent you have already given at any time. An informal notification by email is sufficient for this purpose. The lawfulness of any data processing carried out prior to the withdrawal of consent remains unaffected.
The data you provide will remain with us until you request its deletion, withdraw your consent to its storage or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies. Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.
Use and Disclosure of Data
We will neither sell nor otherwise market personal data that you provide to us, for example by email (such as your name, address or email address). Your personal data will only be processed for correspondence with you and solely for the purpose for which you provided the data.
This also includes the processing of data in connection with protected access to conference materials via our platform (e.g. Microsoft SharePoint). The data is processed for authentication purposes, to document downloads and to enable us to subsequently send you related information and offers by email.
Processing is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (contract/performance of pre-contractual measures) and Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in securing access and direct marketing to existing customers pursuant to Section 7(3) of the German Act Against Unfair Competition – UWG). You may object to the use of your data for advertising purposes at any time.
For technical provision, we use services provided by Microsoft Ireland Operations Ltd. (Microsoft 365 SharePoint), with whom a data processing agreement pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR has been concluded. Data is stored exclusively within the EU as part of the EU Data Boundary.
For the processing of payments, we transfer your payment data to the financial institution commissioned with handling the payment.
Data automatically collected when you visit our website is used solely for the purposes specified above. The data is not used for any other purposes.
We assure you that, apart from the circumstances described above, we will not disclose your personal data to third parties unless we are legally required to do so or you have given us your prior consent.
SSL or TLS Encryption
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, our website uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can identify an encrypted connection by “https://” in the browser’s address bar and by the padlock symbol.
§1 Storage Period
Personal data provided to us via our website will only be stored for as long as necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was entrusted to us. Where retention periods under commercial or tax law must be observed, the storage period may be up to 10 years.
§2 Rights of Data Subjects
With regard to personal data relating to you, as a data subject you have the following rights vis-à-vis the controller in accordance with the applicable statutory provisions:
2.1 Right to Withdraw Consent
Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. Where the processing of your data is based on your consent, you have the right pursuant to Art. 7(3) GDPR to withdraw consent previously given to the processing of data at any time with effect for the future. The withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal. The storage of data for billing and accounting purposes remains unaffected by such withdrawal.
2.2 Right of Access
Pursuant to Art. 15 GDPR, you have the right to request confirmation from us as to whether we process personal data concerning you.
Where such processing takes place, you have the right to obtain information about the personal data we process concerning you, the purposes of processing, the categories of personal data processed, the recipients or categories of recipients to whom your data has been or will be disclosed, the envisaged storage period or the criteria used to determine that period, the existence of a right to rectification, erasure, restriction of processing or objection to processing, the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, the source of your data if it was not collected from you by us, the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, and, where applicable, meaningful information about the logic involved as well as the significance and envisaged consequences of such processing for you.
You also have the right to be informed about the safeguards pursuant to Art. 46 GDPR in connection with the transfer of your data to third countries.
2.3 Right to Rectification
Pursuant to Art. 16 GDPR, you have the right at any time to request the immediate rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning you and/or the completion of incomplete personal data.
2.4 Right to Erasure
Pursuant to Art. 17 GDPR, you have the right to request the erasure of your personal data where one of the following grounds applies:
a)
Your personal data is no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed;
b)
You withdraw your consent on which the processing is based pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR and there is no other legal ground for the processing;
c)
You object to the processing pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or you object to the processing pursuant to Art. 21(2) GDPR;
d)
The personal data has been unlawfully processed;
e)
The personal data must be erased in order to comply with a legal obligation under Union law or the law of the Member State to which we are subject;
f)
The personal data has been collected in relation to the offer of information society services pursuant to Art. 8(1) GDPR.
However, this right does not apply to the extent that processing is necessary:
a)
for exercising the right of freedom of expression and information;
b)
for compliance with a legal obligation requiring processing under Union or Member State law to which we are subject, or for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in us;
c)
for reasons of public interest in the area of public health pursuant to Art. 9(2)(h) and (i) and Art. 9(3) GDPR;
d)
for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes pursuant to Art. 89(1) GDPR, insofar as the right of the data subject is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the achievement of the objectives of that processing, or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
Where we have made your personal data public and are obliged to erase it in accordance with the above, we shall, taking account of available technology and the cost of implementation, take reasonable steps, including technical measures, to inform controllers processing the personal data that you, as the data subject, have requested the erasure of any links to, or copies or replications of, that personal data.
2.5 Right to Restriction of Processing
Pursuant to Art. 18 GDPR, you have the right to request the restriction of processing (“blocking”) of your personal data. You may contact us at any time using the address provided in the legal notice. The right to restriction of processing applies in the following cases:
a) If you contest the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we generally require time to verify this. For the duration of the verification, you have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data.
b) If the processing of your personal data was or is unlawful, you may request restriction of data processing instead of erasure.
c) If we no longer require your personal data, but you require it for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, you have the right to request restriction of processing instead of erasure.
d) If you have objected pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balancing of your interests and ours must be carried out. Until it has been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data.
Where the processing of your personal data has been restricted, such data may – apart from storage – only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.
2.6 Right to Notification
If you have exercised your right to rectification, erasure or restriction of processing against us, we are obliged to communicate this rectification or erasure of data or restriction of processing to all recipients to whom your personal data has been disclosed, unless this proves impossible or involves disproportionate effort.
Pursuant to Art. 19 GDPR, you have the right, upon request, to be informed about these recipients.
2.7 Right Not to Be Subject to a Decision Based Solely on Automated Processing – Including Profiling
Pursuant to Art. 22 GDPR, you have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing – including profiling – which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you.
This does not apply if the decision:
a) is necessary for entering into or performing a contract between you and us;
b) is authorised by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and such law also lays down suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests; or
c) is based on your explicit consent.
However, in the cases referred to in (a) to (c), decisions may not be based on special categories of personal data referred to in Art. 9(1) GDPR unless Art. 9(2)(a) or (g) applies and suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests are in place.
In the cases referred to in (a) and (c), we shall implement suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, including at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express your point of view and to contest the decision.
2.8 Right to Data Portability
Where processing is based on your consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR, or on a contract pursuant to Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, and is carried out by automated means, you have the right pursuant to Art. 20 GDPR to receive the personal data concerning you that you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and to transmit that data to another controller or request that it be transmitted to another controller, where technically feasible.
2.9 Right to Object
Where we base the processing of your personal data on the balancing of interests pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, you have the right at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to object to the processing of your personal data; this also applies to profiling based on this provision. The respective legal basis on which processing is based can be found in this Privacy Policy.
If you object, we will no longer process the personal data concerned unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights and freedoms, or unless the processing serves the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims (objection pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR).
Where your personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for the purposes of such marketing; this also applies to profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing. If you object, your personal data will subsequently no longer be used for direct marketing purposes (objection pursuant to Art. 21(2) GDPR).
In connection with the use of information society services, and notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, you may exercise your right to object by automated means using technical specifications.
2.10 Right to Lodge a Complaint with the Competent Supervisory Authority Pursuant to Art. 77 GDPR
In the event of infringements of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement.
The right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedies.
The supervisory authority responsible for us is:

§2 Rights of Data Subjects
With regard to personal data relating to you, as a data subject you have the following rights vis-à-vis the controller in accordance with the applicable statutory provisions:
2.1 Right to Withdraw Consent
Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. Where the processing of your data is based on your consent, you have the right pursuant to Art. 7(3) GDPR to withdraw consent previously given to the processing of data at any time with effect for the future. The withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal. The storage of data for billing and accounting purposes remains unaffected by such withdrawal.
2.2 Right of Access
Pursuant to Art. 15 GDPR, you have the right to request confirmation from us as to whether we process personal data concerning you.
Where such processing takes place, you have the right to obtain information about the personal data we process concerning you, the purposes of processing, the categories of personal data processed, the recipients or categories of recipients to whom your data has been or will be disclosed, the envisaged storage period or the criteria used to determine that period, the existence of a right to rectification, erasure, restriction of processing or objection to processing, the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, the source of your data if it was not collected from you by us, the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, and, where applicable, meaningful information about the logic involved as well as the significance and envisaged consequences of such processing for you.
You also have the right to be informed about the safeguards pursuant to Art. 46 GDPR in connection with the transfer of your data to third countries.
2.3 Right to Rectification
Pursuant to Art. 16 GDPR, you have the right at any time to request the immediate rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning you and/or the completion of incomplete personal data.
2.4 Right to Erasure
Pursuant to Art. 17 GDPR, you have the right to request the erasure of your personal data where one of the following grounds applies:
a)
Your personal data is no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed;
b)
You withdraw your consent on which the processing is based pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR and there is no other legal ground for the processing;
c)
You object to the processing pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or you object to the processing pursuant to Art. 21(2) GDPR;
d)
The personal data has been unlawfully processed;
e)
The personal data must be erased in order to comply with a legal obligation under Union law or the law of the Member State to which we are subject;
f)
The personal data has been collected in relation to the offer of information society services pursuant to Art. 8(1) GDPR.
However, this right does not apply to the extent that processing is necessary:
a)
for exercising the right of freedom of expression and information;
b)
for compliance with a legal obligation requiring processing under Union or Member State law to which we are subject, or for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in us;
c)
for reasons of public interest in the area of public health pursuant to Art. 9(2)(h) and (i) and Art. 9(3) GDPR;
d)
for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes pursuant to Art. 89(1) GDPR, insofar as the right of the data subject is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the achievement of the objectives of that processing, or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
Where we have made your personal data public and are obliged to erase it in accordance with the above, we shall, taking account of available technology and the cost of implementation, take reasonable steps, including technical measures, to inform controllers processing the personal data that you, as the data subject, have requested the erasure of any links to, or copies or replications of, that personal data.
2.5 Right to Restriction of Processing
Pursuant to Art. 18 GDPR, you have the right to request the restriction of processing (“blocking”) of your personal data. You may contact us at any time using the address provided in the legal notice. The right to restriction of processing applies in the following cases:
a) If you contest the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we generally require time to verify this. For the duration of the verification, you have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data.
b) If the processing of your personal data was or is unlawful, you may request restriction of data processing instead of erasure.
c) If we no longer require your personal data, but you require it for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, you have the right to request restriction of processing instead of erasure.
d) If you have objected pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balancing of your interests and ours must be carried out. Until it has been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data.
Where the processing of your personal data has been restricted, such data may – apart from storage – only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.
2.6 Right to Notification
If you have exercised your right to rectification, erasure or restriction of processing against us, we are obliged to communicate this rectification or erasure of data or restriction of processing to all recipients to whom your personal data has been disclosed, unless this proves impossible or involves disproportionate effort.
Pursuant to Art. 19 GDPR, you have the right, upon request, to be informed about these recipients.
2.7 Right Not to Be Subject to a Decision Based Solely on Automated Processing – Including Profiling
Pursuant to Art. 22 GDPR, you have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing – including profiling – which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you.
This does not apply if the decision:
a) is necessary for entering into or performing a contract between you and us;
b) is authorised by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and such law also lays down suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests; or
c) is based on your explicit consent.
However, in the cases referred to in (a) to (c), decisions may not be based on special categories of personal data referred to in Art. 9(1) GDPR unless Art. 9(2)(a) or (g) applies and suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests are in place.
In the cases referred to in (a) and (c), we shall implement suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, including at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express your point of view and to contest the decision.
2.8 Right to Data Portability
Where processing is based on your consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR, or on a contract pursuant to Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, and is carried out by automated means, you have the right pursuant to Art. 20 GDPR to receive the personal data concerning you that you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and to transmit that data to another controller or request that it be transmitted to another controller, where technically feasible.
2.9 Right to Object
Where we base the processing of your personal data on the balancing of interests pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, you have the right at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to object to the processing of your personal data; this also applies to profiling based on this provision. The respective legal basis on which processing is based can be found in this Privacy Policy.
If you object, we will no longer process the personal data concerned unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights and freedoms, or unless the processing serves the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims (objection pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR).
Where your personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for the purposes of such marketing; this also applies to profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing. If you object, your personal data will subsequently no longer be used for direct marketing purposes (objection pursuant to Art. 21(2) GDPR).
In connection with the use of information society services, and notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, you may exercise your right to object by automated means using technical specifications.
2.10 Right to Lodge a Complaint with the Competent Supervisory Authority Pursuant to Art. 77 GDPR
In the event of infringements of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement.
The right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedies.
The supervisory authority responsible for us is:
State Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information North Rhine-Westphalia
Postfach 20 04 44, 40102 Düsseldorf
