We offer a contact form on our website to answer questions from interested parties and users and to provide information about our services. We only process the inquiries and information sent to us in this context to process your inquiry and to contact you (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR). We store your data for no longer than the duration of any resulting business relationship with you (Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR). If such a business and contractual relationship does not arise as a result of the request, we will delete your data no later than twelve (12) months after the last contact with you. The right to object to the processing beforehand or to request deletion naturally remains unaffected.
If you create a user account with us, we process not only the registration data (e.g. first and last name, e-mail address) but also the login data (e-mail address, password) and your customer data (billing address, delivery address) as well as the connection data (IP address). We process this data to enable you to access your user account. The login data is used to verify your customer account. You can also use your account to manage your data, projects and settings. This includes, for example, the option to make delivery, payment and newsletter settings (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR). The data will not be passed on to unauthorized third parties. We store this data for the duration of the existence of your customer account, unless you request us to delete it beforehand and there are no other statutory retention and storage obligations. The provision of the above-mentioned personal data is contractually required, as otherwise the use of the customer account and the management of your account is not possible. Depending on the payment service provider selected, the payment information is transmitted to the corresponding provider. For credit card payments, we use a PCI-DSS-certified and specialized service provider with whom we have concluded an order processing contract (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR). With regard to the duration of the respective data storage, please contact the respective provider.
Insofar as open tenders and/or competitions are handled by us and/or our partners via our platform, we are responsible for data protection alongside our partners (separate supervisory authority). The data processed in this context includes contact data (name, address, e-mail and telephone number) and communication data (IP address). Processing only takes place within the scope of our contractual cooperation, participant administration, communication with participants and for the purpose of handling the exhibitions and competitions (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR). If you wish your data to be deleted in this regard, please contact us and the respective organizer of the exhibition or competition.
If you register for our e-mail newsletter, we will only process your e-mail address. The data will be used exclusively to send you information from us at regular intervals (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR). We do not pass on your personal data, which you provide to us when registering for the newsletter, to unauthorized third parties. However, the newsletter tool is provided by an external provider, which is why we have concluded an order data processing contract with them. When you receive the newsletter, we use so-called web beacons or tracking pixels, which enable us to determine that you have received or opened the newsletter or whether you have clicked on links in the newsletter. We use the data obtained in this way to create a user profile in order to tailor the newsletter to your individual interests. We can link this data to the actions you have taken on our website by means of tracking (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR). If you also do not wish any automated evaluation and analysis of your user behavior in connection with the newsletter, you must unfortunately unsubscribe from the newsletter service. Until then, the data will be stored for as long as you have subscribed to the newsletter. After unsubscribing, we store the data purely statistically and anonymously. The provision of personal data is neither legally nor contractually required. However, it is not possible to send or receive the newsletter without providing your e-mail address.
You will receive information about the type and scope of data processing in the event that you send us your application documents via the e-mail address provided immediately after receipt of your application.
We operate websites on online platforms and social networks in order to interact with potential or existing customers, to exchange information with interested parties and users, or to advertise offers and services. We operate our websites in so-called joint responsibility (under data protection law) with the providers. We process data that you share or publish directly via the online platforms and networks (e.g. via comment and chat functions) as the controller in order to interact with you in this regard or to exchange information with you. As part of this interaction, we may also receive statistical data on the use of our "channels and fan pages" from the platform operators. This includes, for example, information about interactions, likes, comments or summarized information and statistics (e.g. IP address; origin of followers) that help us to learn about the interactions with our site. The legal basis for data processing in our area of responsibility is Art. 6 para. 1, sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR.
However, the providers also process data under their own responsibility. We have no influence on data that is processed by the provider under its own responsibility in accordance with its own terms of use and data protection. We would like to point out that when you access the aforementioned providers, additional data (e.g. from your usage and "surfing behavior") may be collected and possibly transmitted to the provider. Please also note that in the event of interaction via the aforementioned media, data may also be processed outside the European Union. Furthermore, user data is generally processed for market research and advertising purposes. For example, usage profiles can be created from the usage behavior and the resulting interests of the users. The usage profiles can in turn be used, for example, to place advertisements inside and outside the platforms that presumably correspond to the interests of the users. Further information on this can be found in the data protection information of the respective providers. If we have personal data about you in connection with the use of the online platforms and networks, please address your concerns to us. If you also wish to assert rights against a specific provider, please contact the respective provider.
