General information about data processing

Extent of personal data processing

In principle, we only retrieve and use our users’ personal data to the extent necessary to provide a functioning website and for our content and services. The retrieval and use of our users’ personal data occurs regularly only with the user’s consent. An exception applies in those cases where prior consent cannot be obtained for real reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by law.

Legal basis for the processing of personal data

Insofar as we obtain the data subject’s consent for the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis for the processing of personal data.

In the processing of personal data necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b of the GDPR serves as legal basis. This also applies to processing operations required to carry out pre-contractual actions.

Insofar as processing of personal data is required to fulfil a legal obligation that is relevant to our company, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c of the GDPR serves as legal basis.

In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. d of the GDPR serves as legal basis.

If processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, and if the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh over the first-mentioned interest, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f of the GDPR serves as legal basis for processing.

Data deletion and storage duration

A data subject’s personal data will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage ceases to apply. Furthermore, data may be stored if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in EU regulations, laws or other provisions to which the data controller is subject. Blocking or deletion of data also occurs when a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires unless there is a need for further storage of the data for conclusion of a contract or fulfilment of the contract.

Provision of the website and creation of log files

Description and scope of data processing

Each time our website is accessed, our system automatically retrieves data and information from the system of the user’s computer.

Thereby the following data is retrieved:

• Information about the browser type and version used
• The operating system of the user
• The Internet service provider of the user
• The IP address of the user
• Date and time of access
• Websites via which the user’s system reaches our website
• Websites that are accessed by the user’s system via our website
• The log files contain IP addresses or other data that allow for a user allocation. This could be the case, for example, if the link to the website from which the user accesses the website, or the link to the website to which the user switches, contains personal data.
• The data is also stored in our system’s log files. This data is not stored together with the user’s other personal data.

Legal basis for data processing

Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f of the GDPR serves as legal basis for the temporary storage of data and log files.

Purpose of data processing

Temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to allow for delivery of the website to the user’s computer. To this end, the user’s IP address must be stored for the duration of the session.

The storage in log files occurs in order to ensure the functionality of the website. In addition, the data is used to optimize the website and to ensure the security of our information technology systems. An evaluation of data for marketing purposes does not take place in this context.

Our legitimate interest in data processing, pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f of the GDPR, also lies in these purposes.

Duration of storage

The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer necessary to achieve the purpose for which it was retrieved. If the data is retrieved for providing the website to the user, it will be deleted when the respective session has ended.

In the case of storing data in log files, it will be deleted after no more than seven days. Storage beyond this is possible. In such a case, the users’ IP addresses are deleted or alienated so that an allocation to the users is no longer possible.

Possibility for objection and deletion

The retrieval of data for the provision of the website and the storage of data in log files is essential for the operation of the website. Consequently, there is no possibility of objection on the part of the user.

Use of Google Analytics

Description

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses “cookies”, text files stored on your computer which enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is, as a rule, transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, if IP anonymization is activated on this website, Google will shorten your IP address within member states of the European Union or in other signatory states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area beforehand. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be sent to a Google server in the US and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services related to website usage and internet usage to the website operator.

Privacy policy regarding the use of Matomo (formerly Piwik)

Description

This website uses the component Matomo. Matomo is an open source software tool for web analysis. Web analysis is the retrieval, recording and evaluation of data on the behaviour of visitors to Internet sites. Among others, a web analysis tool retrieves data via a website through which a data subject came to a website (so-called referrer), which subpages of the website were accessed or how often and for how long a subpage was viewed. Web analysis is mainly used to optimize a website and cost-benefit analysis of Internet advertising.

The software is operated on the data controller’s server, the data protection-sensitive log files are stored exclusively on this server.

Purpose

The purpose of the Matomo component is to analyse visitor flow on our website. Among others, the data controller uses the data and information obtained to evaluate the use of this website in order to compile online reports showing the activities on our websites. Amongst other things, we can identify what content is particularly relevant for our users.

Storage

Matomo places a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. What cookies are, has already been explained above. By placing a cookie, we are able to analyse the use of our website. Each time you visit one of the individual pages on this website, the internet browser on the data subject’s information technology system is automatically led by the Matomo component to transfer data to our server for the purpose of online analysis. As part of this technical procedure, we obtain knowledge of personal data, such as the IP address of the data subject, which among other things serves us to trace the origin of visitors and clicks.

Cookies are used to store personal information, such as access time, the location from which access originated and the frequency of visits to our website. Each time you visit our website, this personal data, including the IP address of the Internet connection used by the data subject, is transmitted to our server. This personal data is stored by us. We do not share this personal data with third parties.

The data subject can prevent the placement of cookies through our website, at any time, by means of an appropriate setting of the used Internet browser, as already described above, and thereby permanently objects to the placement of cookies. Such a setting of the used Internet browser would also prevent Matomo from placing a cookie on the data subject’s information technology system. In addition, a cookie already placed by Matomo can be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or other software programs.

Anonymization of your IP

This website uses Matomo with anonymised IPs. As a result, IP addresses are further processed in a shortened form, so that a personal allocation can be ruled out. Insofar as data retrieved about you is assigned a personal reference, it will be immediately excluded and the personal data will be deleted immediately.

Opt-out

Furthermore, the data subject has the option to object to and prevent the retrieval of data generated by Matomo in connection with the use of this website. For this, the data subject must place an opt-out cookie. If the data subject’s information technology system is deleted, formatted or reinstalled at a later date, the data subject must again place an opt-out cookie.

With the placement of the opt-out cookie, however, it is possible that the Internet pages of the data controller may no longer be fully usable by the data subject.

Objection:

Further information and Matomo’s applicable privacy policy can be found at https://matomo.org/privacy/.

Rights of the data subject

If your personal data is processed, you are a data subject in terms of the GDPR and you have the following rights against the data controller:

Right of access to information

You may ask the data controller to confirm if personal data concerning you is processed by us.

If such processing occurred, you can request the following information from the data controller:

(1) the purposes for which the personal data is processed;

(2) the categories of personal data being processed;

(3) the recipients or the categories of recipients to whom the personal data relating to you has been or will be disclosed;

(4) the planned storage duration of your personal data or, if specific information is not available, criteria for determining the storage duration;

(7) all available information on the source of the data if the personal data is not retrieved from the data subject;

(8) the existence of automated decision-making including profiling under Art. 22 para. 1 lit. 4 of the GDPR and – at least in these cases – meaningful information about the logic involved, as well as the scope and intended impact of such processing on the data subject.

You have the right to request information as to whether the personal data concerning you is transferred to a third country or to an international organisation. In this context, you may request to be informed of the appropriate guarantees pursuant to Art. 46 of the GDPR in connection with the transfer.

This right of access to information may be limited to the extent that it is likely to make it impossible or seriously impair the realisation of research or statistical purposes and the limitation is necessary for the fulfilment of research or statistical purposes.

Right to correct

You have a right of correction and/or completion against the data controller if your processed personal data are incorrect or incomplete. The data controller must make the correction without delay.

Your right of correction may be limited to the extent that it is likely to render impossible or seriously affect the realization of research or statistical purposes and the limitation is necessary for performing research or statistical purposes.

Right to restrict processing

You may request the restriction of your personal data processing under the following conditions:

(1) if you contest the accuracy of your personal information for a period of time that enables the data controller to verify the accuracy of your personal information;

(2) the processing is unlawful and you refuse the deletion of the personal data and instead demand the restriction of the use of the personal data;

(3) the data controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of processing, but you need it to assert, exercise or defend legal claims; or

(4) if you have objected to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 para 1. of the GDPR and it is not yet certain whether the legitimate reasons of the data controller outweigh your reasons.

If the processing of personal data concerning you has been restricted, such data may only be processed – apart from being stored – with your consent or for the purpose of asserting, exercising or defending rights or protecting the rights of another natural or legal person or on grounds of an important public interest of the Union or a Member State.

If the processing restriction has been restricted according to the above conditions, you will be informed by the data controller before the restriction is lifted.

Your right to restrict processing may be limited to the extent that it is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the achievement of the research or statistical purposes and the limitation is necessary for the fulfilment of the research or statistical purposes.

Right to delete

Obligation to delete

You may require the data controller to delete your personal information without delay, and the data controller is required to delete that information immediately if one of the following is true:

(1) The personal data concerning you is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed.

(2) You withdraw your consent, on which the processing was based pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a of the GDPR, and there is no other legal basis for the processing.

(3) You file an objection against the processing pursuant to Art. 21 para. 1 of the GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate reasons for the processing, or you submit an objection pursuant to Art. 21 para. 1 of the GDPR.

(4) Your personal data has been processed unlawfully.

(5) The deletion of your personal data is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation under Union law or the law of the Member States to which the data controller is subject.

Information to third parties

If the data controller has made your personal data public and is obliged to delete them pursuant to Art. 17 para. 1 of the GDPR, he shall take appropriate measures, including technical measures, taking into account the available technology and the implementation costs, to inform data controller who process personal data, that you as the data subject have requested the deletion of all links to this personal data or copies or replications of this personal data.

Exceptions

The right to delete does not exist if the processing is necessary

(1) to exercise the right to freedom of expression and information;

(2) for the performance of a legal obligation required for processing under the law of the Union or of the Member States to which the data controller is subject or for the performance of a task in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority conferred on the data controller;

(3) for reasons of public interest in the field of public health pursuant to Art. 9 para. 2 lit. h and i as well as Art. 9 para. 3 of the GDPR;

(4) for archival purposes of public interest, scientific or historical research purposes and for statistical purposes pursuant to Art. 89 para. 1 of the GDPR, to the extent that the law referred to in lit. a is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the attainment of the objectives of such processing, or

(5) to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.

Right to information

If you have exercised your right to have the data controller correct, delete or restrict the processing, he or she is obliged to inform all recipients to whom your personal data have been disclosed of this correction or deletion of the data or restriction on processing, unless this proves impossible or involves a disproportionate effort.

You have the right against the data controller to be informed about these recipients.

Right to data transfer

You have the right to receive your personal data, which you have provided to the data controller, in a structured, common and machine-readable format. In addition, you have the right to pass this data on to another controller without obstruction by the data controller who has been provided with the personal data, provided

(1) that processing is based on a consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a of the GDPR and Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a of the GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a of the GDPR and

(2) the processing is done by automated means.

In exercising this right, you also have the right to request that your personal data be transferred directly from one data controller to another data controller, insofar as this is technically feasible. Freedoms and rights of other persons may not be affected by this.

The right to data transfer shall not apply to the processing of personal data necessary for the performance of a task in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority conferred on the controller.

Right to object

You have the right to object at any time, for reasons arising from your particular situation, to the processing of your personal data on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. e or f of the GDPR; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions.

The data controller will no longer processes the personal data concerning you, unless he can substantiate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.

If your personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for the purposes of such advertising, including profiling, in so far as it is related to such direct marketing.

If you object to the processing for direct marketing purposes, your personal data will no longer be processed for these purposes.

You have the possibility to exercise your right of objection in connection with the use of Information Society services by means of automated procedures using technical specifications, notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC.

You also have the right, for reasons that arise from your particular situation, to object to processing of your personal data for scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes pursuant to Art. 89 para. 1 of the GDPR.

This right to object may be limited to the extent that it is likely to make it impossible or seriously impair the realisation of research or statistical purposes and the limitation is necessary for the fulfilment of research or statistical purposes.

Right to withdraw the data protection consent declaration

You have the right to withdraw your data protection consent declaration at any time. Withdrawing consent does not affect the legality of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until the withdrawal.

Automated decision in individual cases including profiling

You have the right not to be subject to a decision based exclusively on automated processing – including profiling – that has legal consequences for you or significantly impairs you in a similar manner. This does not apply if the decision

(1) is necessary for the conclusion or fulfilment of a contract between you and the person responsible,

(2) is permitted by legal provisions of the Union or of the Member States to which the controller is subject and which contain appropriate measures to safeguard your rights, freedoms and legitimate interests, or

(3) with your express consent.

However, these decisions may not be based on special categories of personal data pursuant to Art. 9 para. 1 of the GDPR unless Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a or g applies and appropriate measures have been taken to protect your rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests.

In the cases referred to in (1) and (3), the controller shall take reasonable measures to safeguard your rights, freedoms and legitimate interests, including at least the right to obtain the intervention of a person by the controller, to state his or her own position and to challenge the decision.

Right to complain to a supervisory authority

Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to complain to a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your residence, place of work or place of suspected infringement, if you believe that the processing of personal data concerning you is contrary to the GDPR.

The supervisory authority to which the complaint has been lodged shall inform the complainant of the status and results of the complaint, including the possibility of a judicial remedy under Art. 78 of the GDPR.

Events – Processing via Xing Events

We work together with XING Events GmbH, Sandstr. 33, 80335 Munich, Germany, for registration, billing and payment processing for events. The operator of the XING Events websites and the responsible body in terms of data protection law is New Work SE, Dammtorstraße 30, 20354 Hamburg, Germany.
