Further information can be provided voluntarily. Voluntary data allow us to plan and conduct the event in accordance with participants’ interests.

We process data upon your registration and for the purposes described by Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR to execute the aforementioned provisions.

We will use your email address to inform you about similar events organized by us in the future. The processing takes place based on Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. We have a legitimate interest in notifying our participants of other events also organized by us.

The personal data we collect for the event are, in principle, stored until the end of the standard limitation period of three years after the end of the year in which the event was held, and the data are erased after that. Storage beyond the respective period stated takes place only if and to the extent that:

Furthermore, the images will be published for the purpose of post-event reporting on our media platforms such as LinkedIn or our website. This processing is required in particular to document and promote our event.

The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. The purposes mentioned are legitimate interests within the meaning of the aforementioned provision.

The images will be stored for 3 years. Photos and videos that have been published are kept until you object to the processing for this purpose.
