  2. Information on the data processed
    a) When visiting the website
    The use of our website is generally possible without providing personal data. On our pages, no data on your identity (for example name, address or e-mail address) is collected. The browser used on your end device merely automatically sends information to the server of our website (e.g. browser type and version, date and time of access) to enable a connection to the website to be established. This also includes the IP address of your requesting end device. This is temporarily stored in a so-called log file and automatically deleted after 4 days.

    The processing of the IP address is carried out for technical and administrative purposes of establishing and maintaining the connection, in order to guarantee the security and functionality of our website and to be able to prosecute any illegal attacks on it if necessary.

    The legal basis for the processing of the IP address is Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. F DSGVO. Our legitimate interest is based on the security interest mentioned above and the need to ensure that our website is available without disruption.
    We cannot draw any direct conclusions about your identity from the processing of the IP address and other information in the log file.
    Furthermore, we use cookies and analysis services when you visit our website. You will find more detailed explanations in sections 4 and 5 of this data protection declaration.

    b) When registering for events
    We regularly offer events of various kinds via our website, for which you can register online. When registering for an event, some mandatory information must be provided. These include, for example, first and last name and e-mail address. Any other mandatory information is marked as such (e.g. with *). In addition, additional information can often be provided voluntarily.
    The mandatory data is processed to identify interested parties as participants in the event, to process the contract for participation, and to provide the participants with information about the event before, during, and after the event. The provision of voluntary data enables us to plan and carry out the event in accordance with the interests and age of the participants.
    Data processing is carried out at the request of the interested participants and is required in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. b DSGVO for the stated purposes for the fulfilment of the participation contract and the pre-contractual measures.
  3. Data transfer
    We would like to point out that data transfer on the Internet (e.g. when linking to an external blog or Twitter page) can have security gaps. A complete protection of data from access by third parties is not possible.
    The use of contact data published within the scope of the imprint obligation by third parties for the transmission of not explicitly requested advertising and information materials is hereby explicitly contradicted. The operators of the pages explicitly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of the unsolicited sending of advertising information, for example through spam mails.
