2. Social Media
2.1 LinkedIn Plugin
Our website uses functions of the LinkedIn network. The provider is LinkedIn Corporation, 2029 Stierlin Court, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“LinkedIn”).
In order to increase the protection of your data when visiting our website, the LinkedIn plugins are not fully integrated into the page, but only by means of an HTML link (the so-called “Shariff” solution developed by c’t). This integration ensures that when you access a page on our website containing such plugins, no connection to LinkedIn’s servers is established yet. Only when you click the LinkedIn button will a new browser window open and access LinkedIn’s website.
For more information, please refer to LinkedIn’s Privacy Policy at:
https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy
3. Newsletter
If you have expressly consented, we will send our newsletter to your email address on a regular basis. To receive our newsletter, you must provide us with your email address and subsequently verify it. No additional data is collected unless 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 revoke your consent at any time with future effect. An informal notification by email is sufficient for withdrawal, or you may unsubscribe via the “unsubscribe” link contained in the newsletter. The lawfulness of any data processing operations already carried out remains unaffected by the withdrawal.
Data entered for the purpose of setting up the subscription will be deleted if you unsubscribe. If such data has been transmitted to us for other purposes and by other means, it will remain with us.
4. 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 be available for follow-up questions. This data will not be passed on without your consent.
Your data is processed exclusively on the basis of your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You may revoke your consent at any time with future effect. An informal notification by email is sufficient for withdrawal. The lawfulness of data processing carried out prior to the withdrawal remains unaffected.
The data transmitted will remain with us until you request its deletion, revoke your consent to its storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies. Mandatory statutory provisions — in particular retention periods — remain unaffected.
5. Use and Disclosure of Data
We will neither sell your personal data that you provide to us, for example by email (such as your name, address, or email address), nor otherwise market it. Your personal data will only be processed for correspondence with you and only for the purpose for which you provided the data to us.
This also includes the processing of data in connection with protected access to conference materials via our platform (e.g. Microsoft SharePoint). Such processing is carried out for authentication purposes, to document downloads, and to enable us to send you related information and offers by email after the event.
The processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (contract / pre-contractual measures) and Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in securing access and in direct marketing to existing customers pursuant to Section 7(3) of the German Unfair Competition Act (UWG)). You may object to the use of your data for advertising purposes at any time.
For technical provision, we use services of 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 transmit your payment data to the credit institution commissioned with the payment.
Data automatically collected when you visit our website is used only for the purposes stated above. The data will not be used for any other purpose.
We assure you that we will not disclose your personal data to third parties unless we are legally obliged to do so or you have given us your prior consent.
6. SSL / TLS Encryption
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, our website uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the browser address line (“https://”) and the padlock symbol.
§ 1 Retention Period
Personal data communicated to us via our website will only be stored for as long as necessary to fulfill 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 the personal data concerning you, you have the following rights as a data subject vis-à-vis the controller, subject to the applicable statutory provisions:
2.1 Right to Withdraw Consent
Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. If the processing of your data is based on your consent, you have the right under Art. 7(3) GDPR to withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out on the basis of consent before its withdrawal. Storage of data for billing and accounting purposes remains unaffected by withdrawal.
2.2 Right of Access
Under Art. 15 GDPR, you have the right to request confirmation as to whether we process personal data concerning you. If such processing exists, you have the right to obtain information about your personal data processed by us, 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 planned storage period or the criteria for determining that period, the existence of a right to rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, objection to processing, lodging a complaint with a supervisory authority, the source of your data if it was not collected from you, the existence of automated decision-making including profiling and, where applicable, meaningful information about the logic involved and the significance and envisaged consequences of such processing for you, as well as your right to be informed about the safeguards pursuant to Art. 46 GDPR if your data is transferred to third countries.
2.3 Right to Rectification
Under Art. 16 GDPR, you have the right to request without undue delay the rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning you and/or the completion of incomplete data stored by us.
2.4 Right to Erasure
Under Art. 17 GDPR, you have the right to request the erasure of your personal data if 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 was 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 pursuant to Art. 21(2) GDPR;
d) your personal data has been unlawfully processed;
e) the erasure of personal data is required for compliance with a legal obligation under Union or Member State law to which we are subject;
f) the personal data has been collected in relation to the offer of information society services referred to in Art. 8(1) GDPR.
However, this right shall not apply where processing is necessary:
a) for exercising the right of freedom of expression and information;
b) for compliance with a legal obligation which requires 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 erasure 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.
If we have made your personal data public and are obliged to erase it pursuant to 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 have requested the erasure by such controllers of any links to, or copies or replications of, those personal data.
2.5 Right to Restriction of Processing
Under Art. 18 GDPR, you have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data. You may contact us at any time at the address stated in the legal notice. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:
a) If you contest the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we usually need 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 / is unlawful, you may request restriction of processing instead of erasure.
c) If we no longer need 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 interests between your interests and ours must be carried out. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, such data may — apart from storage — only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise, or defence of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or of a Member State.
2.6 Right to Be Informed
If you have asserted your right to rectification, erasure, or restriction of processing against us, we are obliged to communicate any such rectification or erasure of personal data or restriction of processing to each recipient to whom the personal data has been disclosed, unless this proves impossible or involves disproportionate effort. Under Art. 19 GDPR, you have the right to be informed about those recipients upon request.
2.7 Right Not to Be Subject to Automated Individual Decision-Making, Including Profiling
Under 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 shall not apply if the decision:
a) is necessary for entering into, or performance of, a contract between you and us;
b) is authorised by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which 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), such decisions shall 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, 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 the processing is carried out by automated means, you have the right under Art. 20 GDPR to receive the personal data concerning you which you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format and to transmit those data to another controller, or to have those data 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 that provision. The relevant legal basis on which processing is based can be found in this Privacy Policy. If you object, we will no longer process your affected personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or 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 such marketing, including profiling insofar as 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, you may exercise your right to object by automated means using technical specifications, notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC.
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 exists without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedies.
The supervisory authority competent for us is:

§ 1 Retention Period
Personal data communicated to us via our website will only be stored for as long as necessary to fulfill 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 the personal data concerning you, you have the following rights as a data subject vis-à-vis the controller, subject to the applicable statutory provisions:
2.1 Right to Withdraw Consent
Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. If the processing of your data is based on your consent, you have the right under Art. 7(3) GDPR to withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out on the basis of consent before its withdrawal. Storage of data for billing and accounting purposes remains unaffected by withdrawal.
2.2 Right of Access
Under Art. 15 GDPR, you have the right to request confirmation as to whether we process personal data concerning you. If such processing exists, you have the right to obtain information about your personal data processed by us, 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 planned storage period or the criteria for determining that period, the existence of a right to rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, objection to processing, lodging a complaint with a supervisory authority, the source of your data if it was not collected from you, the existence of automated decision-making including profiling and, where applicable, meaningful information about the logic involved and the significance and envisaged consequences of such processing for you, as well as your right to be informed about the safeguards pursuant to Art. 46 GDPR if your data is transferred to third countries.
2.3 Right to Rectification
Under Art. 16 GDPR, you have the right to request without undue delay the rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning you and/or the completion of incomplete data stored by us.
2.4 Right to Erasure
Under Art. 17 GDPR, you have the right to request the erasure of your personal data if 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 was 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 pursuant to Art. 21(2) GDPR;
d) your personal data has been unlawfully processed;
e) the erasure of personal data is required for compliance with a legal obligation under Union or Member State law to which we are subject;
f) the personal data has been collected in relation to the offer of information society services referred to in Art. 8(1) GDPR.
However, this right shall not apply where processing is necessary:
a) for exercising the right of freedom of expression and information;
b) for compliance with a legal obligation which requires 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 erasure 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.
If we have made your personal data public and are obliged to erase it pursuant to 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 have requested the erasure by such controllers of any links to, or copies or replications of, those personal data.
2.5 Right to Restriction of Processing
Under Art. 18 GDPR, you have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data. You may contact us at any time at the address stated in the legal notice. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:
a) If you contest the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we usually need 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 / is unlawful, you may request restriction of processing instead of erasure.
c) If we no longer need 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 interests between your interests and ours must be carried out. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, such data may — apart from storage — only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise, or defence of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or of a Member State.
2.6 Right to Be Informed
If you have asserted your right to rectification, erasure, or restriction of processing against us, we are obliged to communicate any such rectification or erasure of personal data or restriction of processing to each recipient to whom the personal data has been disclosed, unless this proves impossible or involves disproportionate effort. Under Art. 19 GDPR, you have the right to be informed about those recipients upon request.
2.7 Right Not to Be Subject to Automated Individual Decision-Making, Including Profiling
Under 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 shall not apply if the decision:
a) is necessary for entering into, or performance of, a contract between you and us;
b) is authorised by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which 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), such decisions shall 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, 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 the processing is carried out by automated means, you have the right under Art. 20 GDPR to receive the personal data concerning you which you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format and to transmit those data to another controller, or to have those data 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 that provision. The relevant legal basis on which processing is based can be found in this Privacy Policy. If you object, we will no longer process your affected personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or 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 such marketing, including profiling insofar as 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, you may exercise your right to object by automated means using technical specifications, notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC.
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 exists without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedies.
The supervisory authority competent for us is:
