An important principle of the GDPR is data avoidance and data economy. Our company adheres to these principles and we only store personal data for as long as is necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or in accordance with the legal retention periods. After the loss of a legal basis (contract, consent, legal regulation,...) we routinely delete or block this data.

You can contact us at any time via our contact form. In doing so, you give us your consent for the purpose of contacting you. A correct email address or telephone number is required for this contact. We will not be able to contact you without this information.
‍
If necessary, further optional information allows us to better respond to your request. If your request has been processed by us and there is no reason to process this data further, it will be automatically deleted.

If users leave comments or evaluations, the time of their creation and the user name previously chosen by the website visitor will be saved in addition to this information. This serves our security, because we can be prosecuted for illegal contents on our web page, even if these were provided by users.

With your consent we will regularly or irregularly send you our newsletter or comparable information by email to the email address you have provided.

To receive our newsletter you only need to enter your email address. If we request further personal data when registering for the newsletter, these will be used exclusively for this purpose in order to be able to personalise our newsletter.

In order to ensure that the subscriber also has the correct email address, we use the so-called double opt-in procedure for our newsletter. A confirmation e-mail is sent to the addressee after registration in order to confirm it again. This ensures that no third party has subscribed to the newsletter for you.

Your personal data will not be passed on to third parties or used in any other way. The data will only be used for the newsletter for which you have registered.

You have the possibility to revoke the storage and the dispatch of our newsletter to your email address at any time. At the end of our newsletter you will find a suitable link to make this revocation. Of course you can also send an email to the contact details in this privacy policy (see above) to inform us of your revocation.

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google Inc. (following: Google). Google Analytics uses "cookies", which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyze how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

However, due to the activation of IP anonymisation on these websites, your IP address will previously be reduced by Google within member states of the European Union or in other signatory states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA 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 activities and to provide the website operator with further services associated with website and Internet use. The IP address transmitted by your browser in the context of Google Analytics is not merged with other Google data. The purposes of data processing are to evaluate the use of the website and to compile reports on activities on the website. Other related services will then be provided based on the use of the website and the Internet. The processing is based on the legitimate interest of the website operator.

Our website uses Google Conversion Tracking. If you have reached our website via an ad placed by Google, Google Adwords sets a cookie on your computer. The conversion tracking cookie is set when a user clicks on an ad served by Google. These cookies expire after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. If the user visits certain pages of our website and the cookie has not yet expired, we and Google can see that the user has clicked on the ad and has been redirected to this page. Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. Cookies cannot therefore be traced through the websites of AdWords customers. The information collected using the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers see the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, you will not receive any information that personally identifies users.

If you do not wish to participate in tracking, you can refuse the setting of a cookie required for this - for example via browser settings that generally deactivate the automatic setting of cookies or set your browser so that cookies are blocked by the "googleleadservices.com" domain.

Please note that you may not delete the opt-out cookies as long as you do not wish measurement data to be recorded. If you have deleted all your cookies in your browser, you must set the respective opt-out cookie again.

As part of the public relations work on network activities, personal data may be published on our website or passed to the press. The publication of personal data on the Internet or in local, regional, national or international print media is carried out to safeguard the legitimate interests of the network (cf. Article 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR). The legitimate interest of the network is to inform the public by reporting on our activites. In this context, personal data, including pictures of the participants, can be published, for example, in the context of reporting on our events.

The list of members or participants are made available to the respective employees of the network to the extent required by the respective task. When it comes to the extent of the personal data used, we will follow the guideline of minimal use of data. Personal data of members may be published on the website’s member area to enable communication between members. The use of participant lists, in which the participants of meetings and other events register for example as proof of attendance, is not regarded as a publication.
