The content on our website has been prepared with the utmost care. However, we cannot guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of the content. As a service provider, we are responsible for our own content on this website in accordance with Section 7(1) of the German Telemedia Act (TMG) and general laws.
Privacy
Policy
The ECA
Foundation has entrusted Concept Heidelberg GmbH with administrative services.
1. An
overview of data protection
General
information
The
following information will provide you with an easy to navigate overview of
what will happen with your personal data when you visit this website. The term
“personal data” comprises all data that can be used to personally identify you.
For detailed information about the subject matter of data protection, please
consult our Data Protection Declaration, which we have included beneath this
copy.
Data
recording on this website
Who is the
responsible party for the recording of data on this website (i.e., the
“controller”)?
The data on
this website is processed by the operator of the website, whose contact
information is available under section “Information about the responsible party
(referred to as the “controller” in the GDPR)” in this Privacy Policy.
How do we
record your data?
We collect
your data as a result of your sharing of your data with us. This may, for
instance be information you enter into our contact form.
Other data
shall be recorded by our IT systems automatically or after you consent to its
recording during your website visit. This data comprises primarily technical
information (e.g., web browser, operating system, or time the site was
accessed). This information is recorded automatically when you access this
website.
What are
the purposes we use your data for?
A portion
of the information is generated to guarantee the error free provision of the
website. Other data may be used to analyse your user patterns.
What rights
do you have as far as your information is concerned?
You have
the right to receive information about the source, recipients, and purposes of
your archived personal data at any time without having to pay a fee for such
disclosures. You also have the right to demand that your data are rectified or
eradicated. If you have consented to data processing, you have the option to
revoke this consent at any time, which shall affect all future data processing.
Moreover, you have the right to demand that the processing of your data be
restricted under certain circumstances. Furthermore, you have the right to log
a complaint with the competent supervising agency.
Please do
not hesitate to contact us at any time if you have questions about this or any
other data protection related issues.
Analysis
tools and tools provided by third parties
There is a
possibility that your browsing patterns will be statistically analysed when
your visit this website.
Such
analyses are performed primarily with what we refer to as analysis programs.
For detailed information about these analysis programs please consult our Data
Protection Declaration below.
2. Data
processing for events’ participation
When you
register for one of our events, we collect the data requested in the forms. At
the time of ordering or registering on our website, the following data is also
stored via the website, which we describe below in this privacy policy.
The
processing of your data serves the purpose of initiating and/or processing the
respective participation contract. The collection of other personal data during
the registration process serves to prevent misuse of the services. We use your
first and last name and the name of your company to print a name badge, which
we will give you when you check in on site. We also use a QR code on the name
badges. This QR code contains the following personal data:
First and
last name
Company
name
Email
address
The name
badge is visible to other participants and makes it easier to establish contact
and improve communication between participants, speakers, and exhibitors. By
using your mobile phone camera, anyone who comes close enough to your name
badge can scan the QR code at any time.
The legal
basis for printing name badges with QR codes is Art. 6(1)(b) of the German Data
Protection Act (DSGVO). Our assessment has shown that our legitimate interest
outweighs your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms. (Simplification of
processes, promotion of networking, reduction of manual data entry including
environmental impact, and optimization of the event so that not only we, but
also exhibitors, speakers, and ultimately the participants benefit from it.)
Right of
withdrawal / Alternative without QR code
Affected persons have the right to object to the processing
of their personal data in connection with the use of QR codes at any time. In
this case, it is possible to have a name badge without a QR code created at the
information desk on site. The revocation does not result in any further
disadvantages for the affected person (only the purposes pursued with the QR
code will not take place). The remaining personal data collected during
registration is processed on the basis of legitimate interests pursuant to Art.
6(1)(b) of the German Data Protection Act (DSGVO). Our legitimate interest here
is to prevent misuse of our services, our web server or mail server, or our
email address.
Disclosure of participant data to exhibitors
As part of our major events, we provide exhibitors
exclusively with an electronic overview of participants in advance.
This overview contains only the first names, last names, and
companies of the registered participants. The aforementioned participant
information is transmitted on the basis of a legitimate interest pursuant to
Art. 6(1)(b) of the German Data Protection Act (DSGVO) in order to enable
content-related and organizational preparation for the event. Advance knowledge
of the participating persons is necessary for this purpose, as information at
the company level alone does not allow for the same level of targeted technical
preparation in a professional event context. (Follow-up discussions, initial
contact discussions, etc.)
Exhibitors are expressly prohibited from using the data to
contact visitors before or after the event, for advertising purposes, or for
disclosure to third parties. The data may only be used for this event and must
be irrevocably deleted after it has ended.
To object, simply send an informal message to datenschutz@concept-heidelberg.de.
3. Hosting
We are hosting the content of our website at the following
provider:
External Hosting
This website is hosted externally. Personal data collected
on this website are stored on the servers of the host.

the interest of secure, fast, and efficient provision of our online services by
a professional provider (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). If appropriate consent has been obtained,
the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 (1)(a) GDPR
and § 25 (1) TTDSG, insofar the consent includes the storage of cookies or the
access to information in the user's end device (e.g., device fingerprinting)
within the meaning of the TTDSG. This consent can be revoked at any time.
Our host(s) will only process your data to the extent
necessary to fulfil its performance obligations and to follow our instructions

Data processing
We have concluded a data processing agreement (DPA) for the

laws that guarantees that they process personal data of our website visitors
only based on our instructions and in compliance with the GDPR.
4. General information and mandatory information
Data protection
The operators of this website and its pages take the
protection of your personal data very seriously.
Hence, we handle your personal data as confidential
information and in compliance with the statutory data protection regulations
and this Data Protection Declaration. Whenever you use this website, a variety
of personal information will be collected. Personal data comprises data that
can be used to personally identify you. This Data Protection Declaration
explains which data we collect as well as the purposes we use this data for. It
also explains how, and for which purpose the information is collected.
We herewith advise you that the transmission of data via the
Internet (i.e., through e-mail communications) may be prone to security gaps.
It is not possible to completely protect data against third-party access.
Information about the responsible party (referred to as the
“controller” in the GDPR)
The data processing controller on this website is:
Concept Heidelberg GmbH
Rischerstr. 8
69123 Heidelberg
Germany
Phone: +49 (0) 6221/84440
E-mail: info@concept-heidelberg.de
The controller is the natural person or legal entity that
single-handedly or jointly with others makes decisions as to the purposes of
and resources for the processing of personal data (e.g., names, e-mail
addresses, etc.).
Storage duration
Unless a more specific storage period has been specified in
this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose
for which it was collected no longer applies. If you assert a justified request
for deletion or revoke your consent to data processing, your data will be
deleted, unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your
personal data (e.g., tax or commercial law retention periods); in the latter
case, the deletion will take place after these reasons cease to apply.
General information on the legal basis for the data
processing on this website
If you have consented to data processing, we process your
personal data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9 (2)(a) GDPR, if
special categories of data are processed according to Art. 9 (1) DSGVO. In the
case of explicit consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries,
the data processing is also based on Art. 49 (1)(a) GDPR. If you have consented
to the storage of cookies or to the access to information in your end device
(e.g., via device fingerprinting), the data processing is additionally based on
§ 25 (1) TTDSG. The consent can be revoked at any time. If your data is
required for the fulfilment of a contract or for the implementation of
pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b)
GDPR.
Furthermore, if your data is required for the fulfilment of
a legal obligation, we process it on the basis of Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR.
Furthermore, the data processing may be carried out on the basis of our legitimate
interest according to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Information on the relevant legal
basis in each individual case is provided in the following paragraphs of this
privacy policy.
Designation of a data protection officer
We have appointed a data protection officer:
Detlef Benesch
Concept Heidelberg GmbH
Rischerstr. 8
69123 Heidelberg
Germany
Phone: +49 (0) 6221/84440
E-mail: datenschutz@concept-heidelberg.de
Information on data transfer to the USA and other non-EU
countries
Among other things, we use tools of companies domiciled in
the United States or other from a data protection perspective non-secure non-EU
countries. If these tools are active, your personal data may potentially be
transferred to these non-EU countries and may be processed there. We must point
out that in these countries, a data protection level that is comparable to that
in the EU cannot be guaranteed. For instance, U.S. enterprises are under a
mandate to release personal data to the security agencies and you as the data
subject do not have any litigation options to defend yourself in court. Hence,
it cannot be ruled out that U.S. agencies (e.g., the Secret Service) may
process, analyse, and permanently archive your personal data for surveillance
purposes. We have no control over these processing activities.
Revocation of your consent to the processing of data
A wide range of data processing transactions are possible
only subject to your express consent. You can also revoke at any time any
consent you have already given us. This shall be without prejudice to the
lawfulness of any data collection that occurred prior to your revocation.
You may object to the use of your data for advertising
purposes at any time. Please send your objection to: info@concept-heidelberg.de
Right to object to the collection of data in special cases;
right to object to direct advertising (Art. 21 GDPR)
IN THE EVENT THAT DATA ARE PROCESSED ON THE BASIS OF ART.
6(1)(E) OR (F) GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO AT ANY TIME OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING
OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA BASED ON GROUNDS ARISING FROM YOUR UNIQUE SITUATION. THIS
ALSO APPLIES TO ANY PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. TO DETERMINE THE LEGAL
BASIS, ON WHICH ANY PROCESSING OF DATA IS BASED, PLEASE CONSULT THIS DATA
PROTECTION DECLARATION. IF YOU LOG AN OBJECTION, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR
AFFECTED PERSONAL DATA, UNLESS WE ARE IN A POSITION TO PRESENT COMPELLING
PROTECTION WORTHY GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING OF YOUR DATA, THAT OUTWEIGH YOUR
INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS OR IF THE PURPOSE OF THE PROCESSING IS THE
CLAIMING, EXERCISING OR DEFENCE OF LEGAL ENTITLEMENTS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO
ART. 21(1) GDPR).
IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS BEING PROCESSED IN ORDER TO ENGAGE
IN DIRECT ADVERTISING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR
AFFECTED PERSONAL DATA FOR THE PURPOSES OF SUCH ADVERTISING AT ANY TIME. THIS
ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING TO THE EXTENT THAT IT IS AFFILIATED WITH SUCH DIRECT
ADVERTISING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL SUBSEQUENTLY NO LONGER BE
USED FOR DIRECT ADVERTISING PURPOSES (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(2) GDPR).
Right to log a complaint with the competent supervisory
agency
In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects are
entitled to log a complaint with a supervisory agency, in particular in the
member state where they usually maintain their domicile, place of work or at
the place where the alleged violation occurred. The right to log a complaint is
in effect regardless of any other administrative or court proceedings available
as legal recourses.
Right to data portability
You have the right to demand that we hand over any data we
automatically process on the basis of your consent or in order to fulfil a
contract be handed over to you or a third party in a commonly used, machine
readable format. If you should demand the direct transfer of the data to
another controller, this will be done only if it is technically feasible.
Information about, rectification and eradication of data
Within the scope of the applicable statutory provisions, you
have the right to at any time demand information about your archived personal
data, their source and recipients as well as the purpose of the processing of
your data. You may also have a right to have your data rectified or eradicated.
If you have questions about this subject matter or any other questions about
personal data, please do not hesitate to contact us at any time.
Right to demand processing restrictions
You have the right to demand the imposition of restrictions
as far as the processing of your personal data is concerned. To do so, you may
contact us at any time. The right to demand restriction of processing applies
in the following cases:
In the event that you should dispute the correctness of your
data archived by us, we will usually need some time to verify this claim.
During the time that this investigation is ongoing, you have the right to
demand that we restrict the processing of your personal data.
If the processing of your personal data was/is conducted in
an unlawful manner, you have the option to demand the restriction of the
processing of your data in lieu of demanding the eradication of this data.
If we do not need your personal data any longer and you need
it to exercise, defend or claim legal entitlements, you have the right to demand
the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of its
eradication.
If you have raised an objection pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR,
your rights and our rights will have to be weighed against each other. As long
as it has not been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to
demand a restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If you have restricted the processing of your personal data,
these data – with the exception of their archiving – may be processed only
subject to your consent or to claim, exercise or defend legal entitlements or
to protect the rights of other natural persons or legal entities or for
important public interest reasons cited by the European Union or a member state
of the EU.
SSL and/or TLS encryption
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of
confidential content, such as purchase orders or inquiries you submit to us as
the website operator, this website uses either an SSL or a TLS encryption
program. You can recognize an encrypted connection by checking whether the
address line of the browser switches from “http://” to “https://” and also by
the appearance of the lock icon in the browser line.
If the SSL or TLS encryption is activated, data you transmit
to us cannot be read by third parties.
Encrypted payment transactions on this website
If you are under an obligation to share your payment
information (e.g. account number if you give us the authority to debit your
bank account) with us after you have entered into a fee-based contract with us,
this information is required to process payments.
Payment transactions using common modes of paying
(Visa/MasterCard, debit to your bank account) are processed exclusively via
encrypted SSL or TLS connections. You can recognize an encrypted connection by
checking whether the address line of the browser switches from “http://” to
“https://” and also by the appearance of the lock icon in the browser line.
If the communication with us is encrypted, third parties
will not be able to read the payment information you share with us.
Rejection of unsolicited e-mails
We herewith object to the use of contact information
published in conjunction with the mandatory information to be provided in our
Site Notice to send us promotional and information material that we have not
expressly requested. The operators of this website and its pages reserve the
express right to take legal action in the event of the unsolicited sending of
promotional information, for instance via SPAM messages.

the display of promotional messages.
Cookies, which are required for the performance of
electronic communication transactions, or for the provision of certain functions
you want to use (e.g., for the shopping cart function) or those that are
necessary for the optimization (required cookies) of the website (e.g., cookies
that provide measurable insights into the web audience), shall be stored on the
basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, unless a different legal basis is cited. The
operator of the website has a legitimate interest in the storage of required
cookies to ensure the technically error free and optimized provision of the
operator’s services. If your consent to the storage of the cookies and similar
recognition technologies has been requested, processing occurs exclusively on
the basis of the consent obtained (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25 (1) TTDSG); this
consent may be revoked at any time.
You have the option to set up your browser in such a manner
that you will be notified any time cookies are placed and to permit the
acceptance of cookies only in specific cases. You may also exclude the
acceptance of cookies in certain cases or in general or activate the delete
function for the automatic eradication of cookies when the browser closes. If
cookies are deactivated, the functions of this website may be limited.

are used for analytical purposes, we will separately notify you in conjunction
with this Data Protection Policy and, if applicable, ask for your consent.

archiving the data no longer exists. This shall be without prejudice to any
mandatory legal retention periods.
Usercentrics uses cookies to obtain the declarations of
consent mandated by law. The legal basis for the use of specific technologies
is Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR.

to carry out pre-contractual measures. In all other cases the processing is
based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of the requests
addressed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your agreement (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) if
this has been requested; the consent can be revoked at any time.
The information you have entered into the contact form shall
remain with us until you ask us to eradicate the data, revoke your consent to
the archiving of data or if the purpose for which the information is being
archived no longer exists (e.g., after we have concluded our response to your

particular retention periods.
Request by e-mail, telephone, or fax
If you contact us by e-mail, telephone or fax, your request,
including all resulting personal data (name, request) will be stored and
processed by us for the purpose of processing your request. We do not pass

7. Analysis tools and advertising
Google Tag Manager
We use the Google Tag Manager. The provider is Google
Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
The Google Tag Manager is a tool that allows us to integrate
tracking or statistical tools and other technologies on our website. The Google
Tag Manager itself does not create any user profiles, does not store cookies,
and does not carry out any independent analyses. It only manages and runs the
tools integrated via it. However, the Google Tag Manager does collect your IP
address, which may also be transferred to Google’s parent company in the United
States.
The Google Tag Manager is used on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f)
GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the quick and
uncomplicated integration and administration of various tools on his website.
If appropriate consent has been obtained, the processing is carried out
exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25 (1) TTDSG, insofar the
consent includes the storage of cookies or the access to information in the
user’s end device (e.g., device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the
TTDSG. This consent can be revoked at any time.
Google Analytics
This website uses functions of the web analysis service
Google Analytics. The provider of this service is Google Ireland Limited
(“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
Google Analytics enables the website operator to analyze the
behavior patterns of website visitors. To that end, the website operator
receives a variety of user data, such as pages accessed, time spent on the
page, the utilized operating system and the user’s origin. This data is
assigned to the respective end device of the user.
An assignment to a user-ID does not take place.
Furthermore, Google Analytics allows us to record your mouse
and scroll movements and clicks, among other things. Google Analytics uses
various modeling approaches to augment the collected data sets and uses machine
learning technologies in data analysis.
Google Analytics uses technologies that make the recognition
of the user for the purpose of analyzing the user behavior patterns (e.g.,
cookies or device fingerprinting). The website use information recorded by
Google is, as a rule transferred to a Google server in the United States, where
it is stored.
The use of these services occurs on the basis of your
consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TTDSG. You may revoke your
consent at any time.
Data transmission to the US is based on the Standard
Contractual Clauses (SCC) of the European Commission. Details can be found
here: https://privacy.google.com/businesses/controllerterms/mccs/.
IP anonymization
On this website, we have activated the IP anonymization
function. As a result, your IP address will be
abbreviated by Google within the member states of the
European Union or in other states that have ratified the Convention on the

Demographic parameters provided by Google Analytics
This website uses the “demographic characteristics” function
of Google Analytics, to be able to display to the website visitor compatible
ads within the Google advertising network. This allows reports to be created
that contain information about the age, gender, and interests of the website
visitors. The sources of this information are interest-related advertising by
Google as well as visitor data obtained from third-party providers. This data
cannot be allocated to a specific individual. You have the option to deactivate
this function at any time by making pertinent settings changes for advertising
in your Google account or you can generally prohibit the recording of your data
by Google Analytics as explained in section “Objection to the recording of
data”.
Contract data processing
We have executed a contract data processing agreement with
Google and are implementing the stringent provisions of the German data
protection agencies to the fullest when using Google Analytics.
Google Analytics E-Commerce-Tracking
This website uses the “E-Commerce Tracking” function of
Google Analytics. With the assistance of E-Commerce Tracking, the website
operator is in a position to analyze the purchasing patterns of website
visitors with the aim of improving the operator’s online marketing campaigns.
In this context, information, such as the orders placed, the average order
values, shipping costs and the time from viewing the product to making the
purchasing decision are tracked. These data may be consolidated by Google under
a transaction ID, which is allocated to the respective user or the user’s
device.
Google Ads
The website operator uses Google Ads. Google Ads is an
online promotional program of Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House,
Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
Google Ads enables us to display ads in the Google search
engine or on third-party websites, if the user enters certain search terms into
Google (keyword targeting). It is also possible to place targeted ads based on
the user data Google has in its possession (e.g., location data and interests;
target group targeting). As the website operator, we can analyse these data
quantitatively, for instance by analysing which search terms resulted in the
display of our ads and how many ads led to respective clicks.
The use of these services occurs on the basis of your
consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TTDSG. You may revoke your
consent at any time.
Data transmission to the US is based on the Standard
Contractual Clauses (SCC) of the European Commission. Details can be found

The provider of these solutions is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon

With Google Ads Remarketing, we can assign people who

subsequently display interest-based advertising to them in the Google
advertising network (remarketing or retargeting).
Moreover, it is possible to link the advertising target
groups generated with Google Ads Remarketing to device encompassing functions
of Google. This makes it possible to display interest-based customized
advertising messages, depending on your prior usage and browsing patterns on a
device (e.g., cell phone) in a manner tailored to you as well as on any of your
devices (e.g., tablet or PC).
If you have a Google account, you have the option to object
to personalized advertising under the following link:
https://www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb/.
The use of these services occurs on the basis of your
consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TTDSG. You may revoke your
consent at any time.

regulations, please consult the Data Privacy Policies of Google at:

Formation of Target Groups with Customer Reconciliation
For the formation of target groups, we use, among other
things, the Google Ads Remarketing customer reconciliation feature. To achieve
this, we transfer certain customer data (e.g., email addresses) from our
customer lists to Google. If the respective customers are Google users and are
logged into their Google accounts, matching advertising messages within the
Google network (e.g., YouTube, Gmail or in a search engine) are displayed for
them to view.

If you communicate with us by video or audio conference using the Internet,
your personal data will be collected and processed by the provider of the
respective conference tool and by us. The conferencing tools collect all

(legitimate interest in the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). Insofar as consent
has been requested, the tools in question will be used on the basis of this
consent; the consent may be revoked at any time with effect from that date.
Duration of storage
Data collected directly by us via the video and conference
tools will be deleted from our systems immediately after you request us to
delete it, revoke your consent to storage, or the reason for storing the data
no longer applies. Stored cookies remain on your end device until you delete
them.

13. Custom Services
Handling applicant data
We offer website visitors the opportunity to submit job
applications to us (e.g., via e-mail, via postal services on by submitting the
online job application form). Below, we will brief you on the scope, purpose
and use of the personal data collected from you in conjunction with the
application process. We assure you that the collection, processing, and use of
your data will occur in compliance with the applicable data privacy rights and
all other statutory provisions and that your data will always be treated as
strictly confidential.
Scope and purpose of the collection of data
If you submit a job application to us, we will process any
affiliated personal data (e.g., contact and communications data, application
documents, notes taken during job interviews, etc.), if they are required to
make a decision concerning the establishment or an employment relationship. The
legal grounds for the aforementioned are § 26 BDSG according to German Law
(Negotiation of an Employment Relationship), Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (General
Contract Negotiations) and – provided you have given us your consent – Art.
6(1)(a) GDPR. You may revoke any consent given at any time. Within our company,
your personal data will only be shared with individuals who are involved in the
processing of your job application.
If your job application should result in your recruitment,
the data you have submitted will be archived on the grounds of § 26 BDSG and
Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR for the purpose of implementing the employment relationship
in our data processing system.
Data Archiving Period
If we are unable to make you a job offer or you reject a job
offer or withdraw your application, we reserve the right to retain the data you
have submitted on the basis of our legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) for
up to 6 months from the end of the application procedure (rejection or
withdrawal of the application).
Afterwards the data will be deleted, and the physical
application documents will be destroyed. The storage serves in particular as
evidence in the event of a legal dispute. If it is evident that the data will
be required after the expiry of the 6-month period (e.g., due to an impending
or pending legal dispute), deletion will only take place when the purpose for
further storage no longer applies.
Longer storage may also take place if you have given your
agreement (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR) or if statutory data retention requirements
preclude the deletion.
