  3. General information concerning data processing

    1. Scope of the processing of personal data

      As a rule, we only process the our users’ personal data to the extent necessary to provide a functioning website, as well as our content and services. The personal data of our users is normally processed only with a user's consent. An exception applies in those cases where it is not possible for practical reasons to obtain prior consent and the processing of data is permitted by statutory provisions.

    2. Legal basis for the processing of personal data

      To the extent that we obtain the consent of the data subject for processing operations involving personal date, the legal basis is Article 6(1)(a) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
      Where the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party, the legal basis is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary in order to take steps prior to entering into a contract.
      Where the processing of personal data is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which our company is subject, the legal basis is Article 6(1)(c) GDPR.
      Where the processing of personal data is necessary in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person, the legal basis is Article 6(1)(d) GDPR.
      Where the processing of personal data is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or by a third party, and such interests are not overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject, the legal basis for the processing is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.

    3. Data erasure and storage period

      The data subject’s personal data is erased or blocked once the purpose for storage no longer exists. Personal data may also be stored if this was specified by European Union or national law in regulations, statutes, or other provisions to which the controller is subject. Data is also blocked or erased when a storage period specified by the aforementioned laws expires, unless it is necessary to continue to store the data for conclusion or performance of a contract.

    4. SSL and TLS encryption

      For security reasons, and in order to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or enquiries that you send to us as the website operator, this website uses SSL and TLS encryption. You can tell that a connection is encrypted when the display in your browser’s address bar changes from "http://" to "https://", as well as by the lock icon in your browser's status bar.
       

      If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data that you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

  4. Provision of the website and creation of log files

    1. Description and scope of data processing

      Each time our website is accessed, the provider of the website automatically collects and stores data and information from the system of the accessing computer, which is transmitted to us by the browser being used.

      The following data is collected in this regard:
      (1) Information about the type of browser and the version being used
      (2) The user's operating system
      (3) The user’s internet service provider
      (4) Date and time of day of access
      (5) Websites from which the user’s system reached our website (referrers)
      (6) Websites that the user’s system accesses from our website
      (7) IP address
       

      The data is likewise stored in the log files of our system.
      This data is not combined with other data sources.

      For reasons of technical security, particularly to ward off attempted attacks on our web server, this data may be stored by us temporarily. It is not possible for us to draw inferences about individual persons based on this data. After not more than seven days, the data is anonymised by shortening the IP address at the domain level, meaning that it is no longer possible to draw a connection to the specific user. This data is not analysed in any way, other than for statistical purposes in anonymised form. This data is not combined with data from other data sources.

    2. Legal basis for data processing

      The legal basis for the processing of data is Article 6(1)(b) and (f) GDPR.

    3. Purpose of data processing

      Temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary in order to make it possible to deliver the website to the user's computer. For this purpose, the user's IP address must remain stored for the duration of the session.
      These purposes also constitute our legitimate interest in data processing under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.

    4. Storage period

      The data is erased once it is no longer needed for fulfilling the purpose for which they were collected. If data is collected in order to provide the website, this is the case when the relevant session has ended.

    5. Option to object and remove

      The collection of data to provide the website and the storage of data in log files are essential for operation of the website. Accordingly, the user has no option to object.

  5. Use of cookies

    1. Description and scope of data processing

      Our website uses cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored in the web browser or by the web browser on the user's computer system. If a user accesses a website, a cookie may be stored on the user's operating system. This cookie contains a character string that makes it possible to uniquely identify the browser the next time the website is accessed.
      We use cookies in order to design our website in a manner that is more user-friendly. Some elements of our website require that the accessing browser can also be identified after accessing a different page.


      The following data is stored and transmitted in the cookies:

    3. Purpose of data processing

      The purpose for using technically necessary cookies is to simplify the use of websites for users. It may not be possible to offer some features of our website without the use of cookies. For these features, it is necessary that the browser can be recognised also after accessing a different page.
       

      We require cookies for the following applications:
      (1) Acceptance of language settings


      The user data collected by technically necessary cookies are not used to create user profiles.
      Analysis cookies are used for the purpose of improving the quality of our website and its content. Through analysis cookies, we learn how the website is being used, and in this way, we can continuously optimise our offer.
      These purposes also constitute our legitimate interest in the processing of personal data under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.


      Cookies that are necessary in order to carry out the electronic communication process or to provide certain features that you desire (e.g. login, contact form) are stored on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the storage of cookies for the purpose of the technically flawless, optimised provision of its services.

    4. Storage period

You can configure your web browser in such a way that you are notified about the placement of cookies so as to permit them only on a case-by-case basis, to accept them in certain cases, or to block them generally. Cookies that have already been stored may be deleted at any time. This may also be accomplished automatically. If cookies for our website are deactivated, it may be the case that some website features will no longer be usable to the full extent.

    5. Option to object and remove

      Cookies are stored on the user's computer and transmitted from it to our website. Therefore, you as user also have full control over the use of cookies.

    1. Description and scope of data processing

      Our website provides a form that can be used for contacting us electronically. If a user makes use of this option, the data entered in the form is transmitted to us and stored.
       

      The contact form data consists of:
      (1) Title of the seminar

      (3) Name
      (4) Phone number

      At the time the message is sent, the following data is also stored:

      As part of the sending operation, your consent is obtained for the processing of data, and reference is made to this Privacy Policy.
      In the alternative, it is possible to contact us using the provided email address. In this case, the user's personal data that is transmitted with the email is stored.
      No data is disclosed to third parties in this regard. The data is used solely for processing the conversation.

    2. Legal basis for data processing

      If we have the user's consent, the legal basis for the processing of data is Article 6(1)(a) GDPR.
      The legal basis for the processing of data that is transmitted in the course of sending an email is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. If the email contact is directed at the conclusion of a contract, then in addition, the legal basis for the processing is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR.

    3. Purpose of data processing

      We use the personal data entered in the form solely for processing the contact made by the user. If we are contacted by email, this also constitutes the requisite legitimate interest in the processing of data.
      We use the other personal data processed during the sending operation in order to prevent misuse of the contact form and to ensure the security of our IT systems.

    4. Storage period

      We retain the data you enter in the contact form until you request that it be erased, until you withdraw your consent, or until the purpose for data storage no longer exists. For personal data that was entered in the contract form and for that which was sent by email, this is then the case when the respective conversation with the user has ended. The conversation is considered to have ended when it is apparent from the circumstances that the matter in question has been definitively resolved.
      Personal data additionally collected during the sending operation is erased after not more than seven days.
      Mandatory statutory provisions, including retention periods, remain unaffected.

    5. Option to object and remove

      The user may at any time withdraw their consent to the processing of personal data. If the user contacts us by email, they may at any time object to the storage of their personal data. In such case, the conversation may not be continued. If you would like to withdraw your consent and object to storage, please contact the controller.
      The withdrawal of consent does affect the lawfulness of data processing operations based on consent before its withdrawal.
      In such case, all personal data that was stored in the course of making contact is erased.

  12. Rights of the data subject


    If your personal data is processed, you are a data subject within the meaning of the GDPR, and you are entitled to the following rights with regard to the controller:

    1. Right of access

      You may obtain from the controller confirmation as to whether or not personal data concerning you is being processed by us.

      If such processing is taking place, you are entitled to access to the following information:
      (1) the purposes for which personal data is processed;
      (2) the categories of personal data concerned;
      (3) the recipients or categories of recipient to whom the personal data concerning you has been or will be disclosed;
      (4) the envisaged period for which the personal data concerning you will be stored, or, if specific information about this is not possible, the criteria used to determine the storage period;
      (5) the existence of the right to request from the controller rectification or erasure of personal data or restriction of processing of personal data concerning you or to object to such processing;
      (6) the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority;
      (7) where the personal data is not collected from the data subject, any available information as to their source.

      You have the right to obtain information about whether personal data concerning you are transferred to a third country or to an international organisation. In this regard, you may request to be informed of the appropriate safeguards pursuant to Article 46 GDPR relating to the transfer.

    2. Right to rectification

      You have the right to obtain from the controller the rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning you and to have incomplete personal data concerning you completed. The controller must carry out the rectification without undue delay.

    3. Right to restriction of processing

      You may obtain restriction of the processing of personal data concerning you where one of the following applies:
      (1) if you contest the accuracy of the personal data concerning you for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data;
      (2) the processing is unlawful and you oppose the erasure of the personal data and request the restriction of their use instead;
      (3) the controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but they are required by you for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims; or
      (4) you have objected to processing pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR pending the verification whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override your grounds.

      Where processing of personal data concerning you has been restricted, such personal data may, with the exception of storage, be processed only with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the Union or of a Member State.
      If processing was restricted in accordance with one of the aforementioned preconditions, you must be informed by the controller before the restriction of processing is lifted.

    4. Right to erasure

      1. Obligation to erase

        You may obtain from the controller the erasure of personal data concerning you without undue delay and the controller has the obligation to erase this data without undue delay where one of the following grounds applies:

        (1) The personal data concerning you is no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed.
        (2) You withdraw your consent on which the processing is based according to Article 6(1)(a) GDPR or Article 9(2)(a) GDPR, and where there is no other legal ground for the processing.
        (3) You object to the processing pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or you object to the processing pursuant to Article 21(2) GDPR.
        (4) The personal data concerning you have been unlawfully processed.
        (5) The personal data concerning you have to be erased for compliance with a legal obligation in Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject.
        (6) The personal data concerning you have been collected in relation to the offer of information society services referred to in Article 8(1) GDPR.
         

      2. Obligation to inform third parties
        Where the controller has made your personal data public and is obliged pursuant to Article 17(1) GDPR to erase the personal data, the controller, taking account of available technology and the cost of implementation, must take reasonable steps, including technical measures, to inform other controllers that are processing the personal data that you have requested the erasure by such controllers of any links to, or copy or replication of, this personal data.
         

      3. Exceptions
        There is no right to erasure to the extent that processing is necessary:
        (1) for exercising the right of freedom of expression and information;
        (2) for compliance with a legal obligation which requires processing by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject or for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller;
        (3) for reasons of public interest in the area of public health in accordance with Article 9(2)(h) and (i) GDPR as well as Article 9(3) GDPR;
        (4) for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes in accordance with Article 89(1) GDPR in so far as the right referred to in paragraph a) is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the achievement of the objectives of that processing; or
        (5) for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

    5. Right to notification

      If you have asserted against the controller the right to rectification, erasure, or restriction of processing, it is obligated to communicate such rectification or erasure of data or restriction of processing to each recipient to whom the personal data concerning you have been disclosed, unless this proves impossible or involves disproportionate effort.
      You have the right to be informed by the controller about those recipients.

    6. Right to data portability

      You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you, which you have provided to the controller, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. You also have the right to transmit those data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to which the personal data have been provided, where:
      (1) the processing is based on consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) GDPR or Article 9(2)(a) GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Article 6(1)(b) GDPR; and
      (2) the processing is carried out by automated means.
       

      In exercising this right, you furthermore have the right to have the personal data concerning you transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible. This must not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.
      The right to data portability does not apply to processing of personal data that is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.

    7. Right to object

      You have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, at any time to processing of personal data concerning you which is based on Article 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR, including profiling based on those provisions.
      The controller may no longer process the personal data concerning you unless the controller demonstrates compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
      Where personal data concerning you is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to processing of personal data concerning you for such marketing, which includes profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing.
      Where you object to processing for direct marketing purposes, the personal data concerning you may no longer be processed for such purposes.
      In the context of the use of information society services, and notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, you may exercise your right to object by automated means using technical specifications.

    8. Right to withdraw consent to data processing

      You have the right to withdraw your consent to data processing at any time. The withdrawal of consent does affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

    9. Automated individual decision-making, including profiling

      You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you.

      This does not apply if the decision:
      (1) is necessary for entering into, or performance of, a contract between you and the controller;
      (2) is authorised by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests; or
      (3) is based on your explicit consent.

      However, such decisions may not be based on special categories of personal data referred to in Article 9(1) GDPR, unless Article 9(2)(a) or (g) GDPR applies and suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests are in place.

      With respect to the cases referred to (1) and (3), the controller must implement suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express your point of view and to contest the decision.

    10. Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority

      Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement, if you consider that the processing of personal data relating to you infringes the GDPR.

      The supervisory authority with which the complaint has been lodged must inform the complainant on the progress and the outcome of the complaint, including the possibility of a judicial remedy pursuant to Article 78 GDPR.

  13. Amendments to this Privacy Policy


    We reserve the ability to amend this Privacy Policy in order to adapt it to changed legal situations or in the case of changes to the service or data processing. However, this only applies with respect to declarations concerning data processing. If your consent is necessary, or if parts of this Privacy Policy contain arrangements that apply to the contractual relationship with you, the amendments are made only with your approval.

    We ask that you regularly review the content of this Privacy Policy.
