Designation of the responsible authority

The person responsible for data processing on this website is

The responsible body decides alone or jointly with others on the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g. names, contact details, etc.).

General note and compulsory information

face to face event GmbH collects, processes and uses personal data, which you transmit on our website, according to the respective valid legal regulations for data protection (Data Protection Basic Regulation).

In principle, our website can be visited without registration. Thereby data, such as accessed pages, date and time, are saved on the server for statistical purposes without these data being directly related to your person. Personal data, in particular name, address or e-mail address, are – as far as possible – collected on a voluntary basis.

The face to face event GmbH never passes on personal data to third parties. Personal data is only stored on the server as long as it is needed to fulfill the purposes for which it was transmitted. Our employees are obliged to keep the confidentiality of your data.

Revocation of your consent to data processing

There are some data processing operations which can only be carried out with your express consent. Such consent is always obtained separately.

You can revoke an already given consent at any time. An informal notification by e-mail is sufficient for the revocation. The legality of the data processing carried out up to the time of revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

Right to appeal to the competent supervisory authority

As the person concerned, you have the right to complain to the responsible supervisory authority in the event of a violation of data protection laws. The competent supervisory authority with regard to data protection issues is the State Data Protection Commissioner of the federal state in which our company is located.

A list of the state data protection commissioners can be found on the website of the Federal Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information

Right to data transferability

You have the right to have data, which we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfilment of a contract, handed over to you or to third parties. The data will be provided in a machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another responsible party, this will only be done as far as it is technically feasible.

Right to information, correction, blocking, deletion

Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right to obtain information free of charge at any time about your stored personal data, the origin of the data, its recipients and the purpose of the data processing and, if applicable, a right to correct, block or delete this data.

You can contact us at any time regarding this and other questions about personal data via the contact options listed in the imprint and in this declaration.
