Data Collection when Visiting our Website
For the purely informative use of our website, where you are neither registered nor have submitted data to us, we only collect the data that your browser transmits to our server (in so-called “server log files”).
This includes:
- Name of the retrieved website,
- file, date and time of retrieval,
- transferred data volume,
- message about successful retrieval as well as
- an pseudomized IP address.
We only use the log file for statistical evaluations, for the purpose of operation and safety. By using this general data and information, we do not draw any conclusions about your person.
In addition, information can be collected via other analysis tools, e.g. cookies or web analysis services. Whether and which analysis services are used by us, you will also find out in this data protection declaration.
Handling of Personal Data
Personal data will only be collected, used and passed on by us, if this is permitted by law or the user consents to the data collection. We collect personal data when contacting us in three different cases:
Contacting
When contacting us via our contact form or e-mail, the information about the user is stored, for the purpose of processing the request and in the event that follow-up questions arise.
Submission of Abstracts and their Publication
When submitting abstracts, the information about the user for the submission process, the participation as an author of a conference contribution and the publication of the conference contribution is stored, pursuant to statutory storage obligations. Your data will only be stored for the submission process, the review of the submission and the subsequent publication. For the review process, the contributions submitted (abstract) can be passed on as a part of the external review. You can revoke your consent until publication, which results in the exclusion of the conference contribution from the conference and publication.
Registration as a Conference Participant
When contacting in the course of the registration as a seminar and/or conference participant, the information about the user is stored for the registration process in order to participate as seminar and/or conference participant to the conference, pursuant to statutory storage obligations.
These data are stored and used exclusively for the purpose of answering your request, contacting or invoicing, when participating as a conference participant or as an exhibitor. The legal basis for processing the data is our legitimate interest in answering your request pursuant to Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. f DS-GVO, or the handling of the registration process or your participation, both as an exhibitor and as a conference participant.
Disclosure of Data to third parties
The transmission of your personal data to third parties, for purposes other than those listed below, does not take place. We only share your personal data with third parties if:
- You have given your express consent to this, pursuant to Art. 6 Abs. 1 S. 1 lit. a DS-GVO or
- the disclosure, in accordance with Art. 6 Abs. 1 S. 1 lit. DS-GVO, is permissible for the protection of our legitimate interests and that there is no reason to believe, that you have a predominant legitimate interest in not sharing your data or

- this is legally permitted and in accordance to Art. 6 Abs. 1 S. 1 lit. b DS-GVO is necessary for the processing of contractual relationships with you.
Integration of services and contents of third parties
It may happen that content from third parties, such as videos from YouTube, maps from OpenStreetMap, RSS feeds or graphics from other websites are integrated into our website. This always presupposes that the providers of this content (hereinafter referred as “third-party provider”) perceive the IP address of the users. Because without the IP address, they could not send the content to the browser of the respective user. The IP address is therefore required for the presentation of this content. We endeavor to use only those contents whose respective providers use the IP address only for the delivery of the contents. However, we have no influence if the third party providers store the IP address, e.g. for statistical purposes. The same applies to the storage of cookies. As far as we know, we will inform users about it.
Newsletter
The following information informs you about the content of our newsletter as well as about the registration, shipping and evaluation process and your right of objection. By subscribing to our newsletter you agree to the receipt and the procedure. Newsletters, e-mails and other electronic communications containing promotional information (hereinafter called “newsletters”) are only sent with the consent of the recipient.
The registration for our newsletter takes place in the so-called double-opt-in procedure. This means that after registration you will receive an e-mail asking you to confirm your registration. This confirmation is necessary so that nobody can log in with other e-mail addresses. Subscriptions to the newsletter are recorded in order to prove the registration process in accordance with legal requirements. This includes the storage of the e-mail address, the registration and confirmation time as well as the IP address.
The changes to your data stored at the shipping service provider will also be logged. A transfer of the stored data does not take place. The dispatch of the newsletter is based on the consent of the recipient, pursuant to Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. a, Art. 7 DSGVO in conjunction with § 7 Abs. 2 Nr. 3 UWG, or, if consent is not required, on the basis of our legitimate interests in direct marketing, pursuant to Art. 6 Abs. 1 lt. f. DSGVO in conjunction with § 7 Abs. 3 UWG.
