These are mainly technical data (e.g. browser data, date and time of the request or the operating system). We process these data to ensure a smooth connection setup and user-friendly application of our website, to guarantee network and information security, to analyse system security and stability and also for administrative purposes. The legitimacy of our data processing is based on Art. 6(1) sentence 1(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest derives from the aforementioned data recording purposes. We do not use data to draw conclusions about you as an individual. We also deploy cookies and tracking services on our website. Further details of this are to be found in paragraph 7 of this Privacy Statement.
Subscribing for our newsletter
If you have agreed to receive our newsletter, invitations to events and other information of relevance to you (Art. 6(1) sentence 1(a) GDPR), we will use your name and email address to provide you with that information electronically. You may withdraw your consent at any time with future effect and also unsubscribe. To do this you may use the link at the end of any newsletter or, alternatively, the above email address. This means that we will no longer continue in future to carry out any data processing to which your consent relates and will delete the data unless there should be any legal reason not to do so or a statutory obligation to retain it.
Using of our contact form
For questions of any kind, we offer you the opportunity to contact us via a form provided on the website. It is necessary to provide a valid email address so that we know who the request came from and can respond to it. Further information can be made voluntarily. The data processing for the purpose of contacting us is based on your consent in accordance with Art. 6(1) sentence 1(a) GDPR. The personal data for the use of the contact form collected by us will be deleted after completion of the request you have made, unless there is another legal basis or statutory storage requirements exist.
Disclosure of personal data
We will not disclose your personal data to third parties unless:
- You have given your consent to this pursuant to Art. 6(1) sentence 1(a) GDPR,
- Disclosure is necessary under Art. 6(1) sentence 1(f) GDPR in order to assert, establish or defend legal claims and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding and legitimate interest in non-disclosure of your data,
- There should be a statutory obligation of disclosure pursuant to Art. 6(1) sentence 1(c) GDPR, or
- Permissible by law and necessary for the performance of contracts with you pursuant to Art. 6(1) sentence 1(b) GDPR.
Where we process data in a third country (i.e. outside the European Union (EU) or European Economic Area (EEA)), where this is done whilst using third-party services or when disclosing or transmitting data to third parties, then this will only be done so as to fulfil our (pre)contractual duties, with your consent, where required by law to do so, or where we have a legitimate interest in so doing. Unless there should be a statutory exemption we will only process data in a third country if the special statutory conditions under Art. 44 et seq. GDPR are fulfilled.
