General information about data processing
Scope of personal data processing
As a matter of principle we only process our users’ personal data insofar as this is necessary to provide the website in good working order, make our content available and render our services. Our users’ personal data are normally processed only following consent by the user. An exception applies in cases in which obtaining prior consent is not possible for actual reasons and processing the data is permitted by way of statutory requirements.
Legal basis for processing personal data
Insofar as we obtain consent of the data subjects for the processing operations involving personal data, Article 6(1), point a, GDPR, shall apply as a legal basis.
Article 6(1), point b, GDPR, shall apply as the legal basis in the case of processing personal data that are required to execute a contract and such a contracting party is the data subject. This also applies to processing procedures that are required to adopt pre-contractual measures.
Article 6(1), point c, GDPR, shall apply as the legal basis in cases in which processing personal data is required to honor a legal obligation to which our company is subject.
Article 6(1), point d, GDPR, shall apply as the legal basis in the event that vital interests of a data subject or another natural person render the processing of personal data necessary.
Article 6(1), point f, GDPR, shall apply as the legal basis for the processing if the processing is required to safeguard a justified interest on the part of our company or a third party, and if the data subject’s interests, basic rights and fundamental freedoms do not override the former.
Erasing data and storage period
The data subject’s personal data shall be erased or blocked as soon as the purpose for the storage becomes inapplicable. Storage may extend beyond this if this has been proposed by the European or national legislator in Union law regulations, laws or other requirements to which the controller is subject. Blocking or erasing the data shall also apply if a storage period specified by way of the stated standards expires unless further storage of the data for concluding or executing a contract is required.

To participate in an online meeting or enter the meeting room, you must at least provide details on your name.
