What data is processed and from what sources does this data originate?

We process image data in the form of photographs that we have taken of you during the event.

For what purposes and on what legal basis is the data processed?

We process this data in accordance with the provisions of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Federal Data Protection Act 2018 as amended:

  • To safeguard legitimate interests (Art 6 para. 1 lit.f GDPR): Based on a balancing of interests, data processing may be carried out by us to safeguard our legitimate interests.
  • If we explicitly obtain your consent for individual images, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.

Who receives my data?

If we use a service provider (e.g. photographer) in the sense of commissioned processing, we nevertheless remain responsible for the protection of your data. All processors are contractually obliged to treat your data confidentially and to process it only in the context of providing the service.

The photos taken of you will be published by us in the following media:

  • Internet (homepage and social media presence)
  • Annual report
  • Press releases
  • PowerPoint presentations
  • Presentations
  • Reports

How long will my data be stored?

We only store your data until its purpose has been fulfilled or until you revoke your consent to its use. After that, it must be deleted in accordance with the GDPR.

Is personal data transferred to a third country?

In principle, we do not transfer any data to a third country.

What data protection rights do I have?

You have the right to information, correction, deletion or restriction of the processing of your stored data, a right to object to the processing as well as a right to data portability and to complain in accordance with the requirements of data protection law.

Right to information:

You can request information from us as to whether and to what extent we process your data. 

Right to rectification:

If we process your data that is incomplete or incorrect, you can request that we correct or complete it at any time.

Right to erasure:

You can demand that we erase your data if we process it unlawfully or if the processing interferes disproportionately with your legitimate protection interests. Please note that there may be reasons that prevent immediate erasure, e.g. in the case of statutory retention obligations.

Irrespective of the exercise of your right to erasure, we will erase your data immediately and completely, provided that there is no legal or statutory retention obligation to the contrary.

Right to restriction of processing:

You can demand that we restrict the processing of your data if

– you contest the accuracy of the data, for a period enabling us to verify the accuracy of the data
– the processing of the data is unlawful, but you oppose the erasure of the data and request the restriction of its use instead
– we no longer need the data for the intended purpose, but you still need this data to assert or defend legal claims, or
– you have objected to the processing of the data.

Right to data portability:

You may request that we provide you with the data you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and that you may transmit this data to another controller without hindrance from us, provided that

– we process this data on the basis of your revocable consent or for the performance of a contract between us, and
– this processing is carried out by automated means.

If technically feasible, you can request that we transfer your data directly to another controller.

Right to object:

If we process your data on the basis of legitimate interest, you can object to this data processing at any time; this would also apply to profiling based on these provisions. We will then no longer process your 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 defense of legal claims. You can object to the processing of your data for the purpose of direct advertising at any time without giving reasons.

Right to lodge a complaint:

If you are of the opinion that we are violating German or European data protection law when processing your data, please contact us so that we can clarify any questions you may have. Of course, you also have the right to contact the supervisory authority responsible for you, the respective state office for data protection supervision.

If you wish to assert one of these rights against us, please contact our data protection officer. In case of doubt, we may request additional information to confirm your identity.

Don't wait! Tickets are limited.
