The personal data concerning you is being processed for the purpose of organization and hosting events based on Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR. Without the provision of personal data required to hold events, it is not possible to attend any of our events.

Based on our legitimate interest (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR), we may also take images and video sequences during our events for advertising and informational purposes. These may be published on our websites or social networks as well as in print media.

Event-related materials will be deleted after 10 years or after the end of the statutory retention periods. Data that we use for advertising purposes will be deleted after the end of the advertising campaign.

We will only pass on your data to third parties if this should become necessary for the fulfilment of the purpose. Furthermore, data may be passed on to authorities based on legal provisions in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (c) and (e) GDPR.

In addition, in various cases we engage processors in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR, who may receive data from us or have access to your data in connection with their service. In this context, personal data may be transferred to and processed in countries outside the United States. Where required by applicable data protection laws, including the GDPR, we ensure that such transfers are protected by appropriate safeguards, including adequacy decisions issued by the European Commission pursuant to Art. 45 GDPR, the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses pursuant to Art. 46 (2)(c) GDPR, or other legally recognized transfer mechanisms.
