We are very pleased about your visit to our website and the expressed interest in our offers. The protection of your personal data has a special significance for our management and our employees. The visit of our web pages is basically possible without giving your personal data. However, processing of your personal data may be required, if you use a special service via the Internet pages.
We always process your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory provisions, in particular the General Data Protection Regulation, together with the applicable national data protection regulations and this privacy policy.
We want you to feel safe at all times when you visit our websites, so we assure you that we have taken technical and organisational measures to ensure the highest possible protection of your rights and that we constantly strive to ensure that the legal requirements are respected by both our employees as well as by our external service providers. However, web-based services can always present security vulnerabilities, so absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. You are also welcome to transfer your personal data using other means of communication (for example: by post, by telephone or fax).
The protection of your personal data is carried out in accordance with the Data Protection Regulation, the German Federal Data Protection Act and other sector-specific laws and therefore uses the same terminology that will be explained below for you.
a) Personal Data
Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person ('the data subject'); a natural person is regarded as identifiable, if it can be identified directly or indirectly, in particular by association with an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or one or more special features, which express the physical, physiological , genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of this natural person.
b) Processing
Processing means any process performed with or without the help of automated processes, or any such process associated with personal data such as collecting, organising, storing, adapting or modifying, reading, querying, using, disclosure by submission, dissemination or other form of provision, reconciliation or association, restriction, erasure or destruction.
c) Restriction of processing
Restriction of the processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim to limit their future processing.
d) Profiling
Profiling refers to any type of automated processing of personal data that consists in using that personal information to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular aspects relating to work performance, economic situation, health, personal preferences to analyse or predict interests, reliability, behaviour, whereabouts or location of this natural person.
e) Pseudonymisation
Pseudonymisation is the processing of personal data in such a way that the personal data can no longer be assigned to a specific data subject without additional information being provided, provided that such additional information is kept separate and subject to technical and organisational measures to ensure that the personal data is not assigned to an identified or identifiable natural person.
f) Responsible person
The responsible person is any natural or legal person, public authority, body or other body that, alone or in concert with others, decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data; where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union law or the law of the Member States, the controller or the specific criteria for his designation may be provided for under Union or national law.
g) Third Party
A Third Party is a natural or legal person, public authority, body or body other than the data subject, the controller, the processor and the persons authorised to process the personal data under the direct responsibility of the controller or processor.
h) Consent
The data subject's consent shall be deemed to be voluntary in a written, informed and unambiguous manner in the form of a statement or other unambiguous confirmatory act informing the data subject that they consent to the processing of their personal data.
Responsible for the processing within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation, as well as the data protection laws of the member states of the European Union and other area-specific laws with data protection character are:

Your trust and the protection of your data are important to us. Therefore, we would like to be available at any time for your questions concerning data protection and the processing of your data. If you wish to receive more detailed information about this privacy policy or suggestions, you can always contact us.
a) Right to information
You have a right to know if a controller is processing your personal information. As far as this is the case, you continue to have a right to information about the circumstances of the data processing. This right to information extends to the particular data, the purposes of the processing, the categories of personal data being processed and the recipients to whom the data has been transferred or disclosed. In addition, on the planned duration of the storage, the origin of the data, as far as these were not collected from you and the existence of an automated decision-making including profiling. In addition, the right to information includes a right to information on the existence of a right to rectification or deletion of personal data and a right to information about the existence of a right to complain to a supervisory authority.
b) Right to delete
You have the right of the person responsible to request the immediate deletion of your personal data, if the following reasons are present and the processing is not required:
c) Right to data portability
You have the right to receive personal data relating to you provided to us as a controller in a structured, common and machine-readable format, and you have the right to transfer that data to another controller without hindrance to inform the controller to whom the data was provided. This right should exist if automated data processing was used to execute a contract or based on consent. The claim also includes the right to have the data transmitted directly from one controller to another controller for as far as technically feasible.
d) Right to objection
The right to objection on the one hand includes the possibility of objecting to the processing of one's own data for advertising purposes. In addition, if there are special reasons, an originally lawful data processing for other purposes may be objected to.
e) Right to restriction of processing
You may have the right to restrict processing on certain conditions to the effect that your personal data is blocked at the controller and thus not further processed. Thus, the blocking may be required for the duration of the investigation, if the correctness of the stored data is disputed.
f) Right to rectification
The right to rectification includes your right as an affected person to demand from us, as the person responsible without delay, the correction of any incorrect personal data concerning you.
For most of the processing operations, we make sure to receive your previous consent to them. Then Art. 6 I lit. a and Art. 7 GDPR are the basis for processing operations. In some cases, the processing may also be required to fulfill the contract or to initiate the contractual relationship, this applies above all to the delivery of the information material requested by you and the registration for one of our events. In this case the legal basis of the processing is Art. 6 I lit. b GDPR. If the processing of data is required due to legal obligations, for example in the case of tax information requests, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. c GDPR. The processing of data may also be necessary for the protection of vital interests of affected or other natural persons. The legal basis in this case would then be Art. 6 I lit. d GDPR. If none of these allowances are met, the processing may also be subject to Art. 6 I lit. f GDPR be supported. This may be the case if the processing is necessary to safeguard the legitimate interests of our company or third parties, and provided that the interests, fundamental rights and fundamental freedoms of us as the controller do not prevail. A legitimate interest is, for example, the performance of our business activities to protect the interests of our employees and shareholders. We also consider the tracking of user behaviour by cookies in the context of advertising, which do not involve sensitive data and have no personal reference, as a legitimate interest.
When we process data in a third country (ie in a country outside the European Union or the European Economic Area), or in the context of the use of third party services or disclosure, or transmission of data to third parties, this is done exclusively for the purpose of fulfilling contractual obligations or the initiation of an agreement, on the basis of your consent, on the basis of a legal obligation or on the basis of our legitimate interests. We process, transmit or have data processed only in a third country if the requirements of Art. 44 et seq. GDPR are met. The processing is e.g. on the basis of specific guarantees, such as the establishment of a level comparable to the EU standard (eg "privacy shields"), the observance of officially recognised contractual obligations or the submission of test certificates that testify other recognized levels of protection (via the "safe harbor" commitment level of protection) (see also the extended requirements of the („Düsseldorfer Kreis“) .
If, during our processing, we disclose, transmit to, or otherwise provide access to other persons and companies (processors, affiliates of the COGNOS Group or third parties), this is always done on the basis of a legal permission (eg the transmission of the payment data to the responsible company within the group of companies for the fulfillment of the contract is required or if the forwarding of the requested information material to the dispatcher, according to Art. 6 Abs. 1 bGB GDPR), and requires a consent, a legal obligation, or is based on a legitimate interest or a data processing in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR.
To protect the security of your data during transmission, we use state-of-the-art encryption procedures over HTTPS.
We use so-called cookies on our Internet pages, which enable web-based applications to manage the status of an online visit and to enable smooth navigation between the individual services and content on the website. Cookies are stored on your computer's hard drive and do no damage there. A cookie is a small data file that is transferred from the web server to your computer if you browse our pages.

Cookies store different information. They are primarily intended to store information about the user during or after his visit to a website. Temporary cookies and permanent cookies are to be distinguished. The former are deleted when the user leaves the website. The latter are also stored after closing the browser. This type of cookie also serves to measure reach and to analyse usage patterns. In addition, there are the so-called third-party cookies from other providers than the person responsible for the website. This website uses temporary and permanent cookies whose operation we inform you about in this privacy statement.

Each time a page is accessed, access data from us or our hosting provider is stored in a log file via this process. In connection with the access, we receive usage data that is temporarily stored for statistical purposes and then deleted. Log data is collected solely for internal purposes and is not forwarded to third parties.
These include:
The stored data is anonymised at the earliest possible date (deletion of the last octet of the IP address) and used only for purposes of identifying and tracking inadmissible attempts to access and the actual access to the Web server. A further evaluation, with the exception of statistical purposes in anonymous form, does not take place. These data are not assigned to specific people. Individual user profiles are not made. Without your consent we do not collect any personal data through our websites. The consent given by you to the processing of your data can be revoked at any time with effect for the future. Please note that specific legal provisions may mean that, despite your objection, we must continue to store the data for a period specified by law. Data collected automatically on websites for the purposes of securing web services is processed exclusively within the scope of the EU Data Protection Directive.
When using some areas of our website, we ask you as a user to provide some data that can be clearly assigned to your person. This happens when you order informational material, register for our newsletter, reserve a seat for an event, register for an event or order documentation.

Which information is actually required results from the respective input mask. The data is always encrypted. Information you provide to us via the input masks "Newsletter", "My Account", "General Enquiries", "Request updates", "Provisional reservation", "Book Now" will be processed using the Salesforce CRM solution. This solution is hosted also outside the scope of the EU Data Protection Directive. Due to contractual obligations of the supplier, which go beyond the minimum requirements of the self-obligation under Safe Harbor and according to presented proofs of verification (see also: trust.salesforce.com/trust), an adequate level of protection has been demonstrated (see also the extended requirements of the „Düsseldorfer Kreis“). The data collected here are used only for the purpose of carrying out the sending of information material, in the case of consent to the sending of advertising for this purpose or in case of registration for an event or the ordering of documentation for the purpose of carrying out the contract. A transfer is made only to the chosen shipping service provider, who in turn uses the personal data only to fulfill the contract. By registering the access data provided by the provider, such as the assigned IP address, the date and time of registration are logged in order to prevent misuse of our services and to clarify possible crimes. Any further transmission of data will not take place unless there is a legal obligation.
The registration on our website is always voluntary and only to offer services that only inevitably make a registration necessary. Any registered person may at any time modify or completely delete the data in question, unless there is no legal obligation to keep records.
