Privacy policy of the organizer for virtual events

Status: 15.10.2023

Virtual events and the data processed in the context of virtual events are the responsibility of the respective organizer, who is clearly named in the registration for the virtual event (hereinafter "organizer", "us", "our" and "we").

As the controller of your personal data, we would like to inform you about the processing of your personal data.

Personal data is information that can be used to identify a person, i.e. information that can be traced back to a person. This typically includes the name, e-mail address or telephone number. In addition, purely technical data that can be assigned to a person is also considered personal data.

Contact details of the responsible person

The respective organizer is responsible for virtual events. You can find their contact details in the registration for the event. The contact details of the data protection officer of the responsible party can be found in the general data protection declaration of the organizer.

We are the organizer of the virtual event, which we realize with the help of our technical service provider, meetyoo conferencing GmbH (hereinafter "meetyoo"), which provides the necessary technical infrastructure (server, software, etc.).

We have concluded an order processing agreement with meetyoo so that meetyoo only processes your data on our behalf and according to our instructions.

meetyoo uses Amazon Web Services EMEA SARL (AWS), 38 avenue John F. Kennedy, L-1855 Luxembourg ("AWS") as a further subcontractor and data recipient for hosting the event in the AWS data center in Frankfurt. For your security in accordance with Art. 28 DSGVO, meetyoo has concluded an agreement on commissioned processing with Amazon Web Services, Inc. including the EU standard contractual clauses.

Data of the virtual event (regarding content and registration data) are stored encrypted in the file systems and databases ("at Rest": AES encrypted) and transmitted encrypted over the internet ("in Transit": TLS 1.3 encrypted).

The provision of your personal data is generally not required by law or contract. However, the event is only intended for a restricted group of people, which is why the processing of personal data within the scope of your online registration is necessary for the provision of our services.

1. Purpose of processing and categories of personal data

We process the following personal data for the following purposes:

Registration for participation in the virtual event

Participation in the virtual event requires a one-time login (single sign-on, SSO) or registration. The data stored during registration can be seen from the input mask of the registration form. These are first name, last name, e-mail address and password/PIN. Mandatory data are marked as such.

Remember me" function (save username/password for further logins)

We may use the "Remember me" functionality for the login to our virtual event if you have given consent (by clicking the checkbox). This is a procedure that saves your username and password so that you do not have to log in again with "username and password" the next time you log in for the specific event. We store a "refresh token" with your user ID on your terminal device for a period of 90 days.

You can revoke this declaration of consent at any time with effect for the future. To do so, simply send an e-mail with the subject "Revocation Remember me", stating the e-mail address with which you registered, to privacy [at] meetyoo.com.

Single Sign-On (SSO) logon procedure

We may use the single sign-on (SSO) procedure for registration or login to our virtual event. This is a procedure that allows participants to conveniently log in to our virtual event using a user account with a single sign-on provider - without new access data. The prerequisite for single sign-on registration is that the participant is registered with the respective single sign-on provider and confirms the single sign-on registration by means of a button for our virtual event. When using "Single-Sign-On", the respective provider is first informed that the participant wishes to log in to us. We then receive a user ID with the information that the participant is logged in under this user ID at the respective single sign-on provider as well as an ID that cannot be used by us for other purposes (so-called "user handle"). We use the following authentication services for registration or login to our virtual event:

- Microsoft Single-Sign-On: service provider is Microsoft Corporation, One Microsoft Way, Redmond, WA 98052-6399, USA.

- Google Single-Sign-On: Service provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

We use Google reCAPTCHA on the registration page. This is a service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street Dublin 4, Ireland. By means of this function, we can ensure greater data security when submitting online forms. By using Google reCAPCHTA, a distinction is made as to whether the input made in the form was made by a natural person or whether misuse is made by machine or automated input. In this context, your IP address, the URL of the registration page, and your browser version will be transmitted to Google. IP addresses are shortened within the member states of the EU or other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before the data lands on a server in the USA. The IP address is not combined with other data from Google.

Log files

When you register on the website, server log files (IP address, technical information about the terminal device used and the browser used, including version and any plug-ins installed as well as fonts, data volumes, technical information about data transmission, such as access status/HTTP status code) are processed. In addition, technical error codes, as well as the date and time of dial-up and time zone, are processed. This serves to identify and prevent cases of misuse (e.g. in the event that a third party misuses your data and registers on our site with this data without your knowledge).

Participation in the virtual event

During your participation in the virtual event, we store the above-mentioned server log files as well as your interactions during your participation in the virtual event (e.g. downloads made, inquiries made). This data is used to allow an evaluation of the event. Specifically, this data is used for the following purposes:

Participation statistics

To enable us to evaluate participation in our virtual events, we store non-personal participation information (number of live and on-demand participants, average duration of participation, number of registrations). We only aggregate this information into statistics, which will only contain anonymized data.

Comments and feedback from the online survey

We store your chat information (e.g. the content of your questions and contributions, as well as the time and date) so that you can send messages to the presenter, organizer or other participants.
In order to continuously improve our services for you, we may ask you to provide us with your feedback via a voluntary online survey during the virtual event. Your answers to the survey will be stored by the service provider and transmitted to us in anonymized form.

Use of personal data for the sending of marketing messages or for the personal evaluation of the virtual event

We will receive from meetyoo your registration data and data about your activities during the virtual event (e.g. data about your visit to a particular virtual stand or download of a particular piece of information) to the extent that this is intended by the organizer for the virtual event and you have given your consent to this as part of the registration process. We will also use the above data to contact you by email or telephone to send you announcements and reminders about future virtual events, on-demand releases, and after-show emails if you have given consent. This also applies to the analysis of personal data insofar as this is intended by the organizer for the virtual event and you have given your consent to this as part of the registration process. You can revoke this declaration of consent at any time with effect for the future. To do so, simply send an e-mail with the subject "Revocation" to privacy [at] meetyoo.com

2. Retention periods for personal data

Registration data will be stored for as long as necessary for the use of the service. The personal data collected in connection with your registration and participation in the virtual event, including the submission of feedback or questions, will be deleted no later than 12 months after the on-demand event.

3. Legal basis for processing your personal data
