3. General information on data processing

a) Scope of the processing of personal data

As a matter of principle, we process personal data of our users only to the extent that this is necessary for the provision of a functional website, our content and services, and for the implementation of the event. The processing of personal data of our users is regularly carried out only with the consent of the user. An exception applies in those cases where obtaining prior consent is not possible for actual reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by legal regulations.

b) Legal basis for the processing of personal data

Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for processing operations involving personal data, Article 6 (1) (a) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis.

When processing personal data that is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary for the performance of pre-contractual measures.

Insofar as processing of personal data is necessary for the fulfillment of a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 (1) lit. c GDPR serves as the legal basis.

In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person make processing of personal data necessary, Art. 6 (1) lit. d GDPR serves as the legal basis.

If the processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not override the former interest, Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing.

c) Transfer of personal data to third parties.

The event “Investor Days Thuringia” is held in cooperation with bm|t. The data collected during the application and registration process will be passed on to bm|t for the purpose of holding the event.

The event will be accompanied by an app. This event app is operated and managed by the service provider LineUpr GmbH. The data collected during the application and registration process by the ticketing partner Converia GmbH will be passed on to LineUpr GmbH for processing in the event app via Synesty GmbH, which connects the interfaces of the ticketing and the event app. The purpose of this data processing is visitor management, as well as the use of the app by the guest.

Within the event app, it is possible to make video calls with registered event participants. As a precaution, we would like to point out that the data will be processed globally due to the common communication structure of video telephony.

d) Data deletion and duration of storage

The personal data of the data subject will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage ceases to apply. Storage may also take place if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in Union regulations, laws or other provisions to which the controller is subject. Data will also be blocked or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless there is a need for further storage of the data for the conclusion or performance of a contract.

4. 4. Provision of the website and creation of log files

a) Description and scope of data processing

operating system used,

Website from which you visit us (referrer URL),

Website that you visit,

Date and time of your access,

your internet protocol (IP) address.

This data is also stored in the log files of our system. This data is not stored together with other personal data of the user.

b) Legal basis for data processing

The legal basis for the temporary storage of the data and the log files is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

These purposes are also our legitimate interest in data processing according to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

d) Duration of storage

The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. In the case of storage of data in log files, this is the case after seven days at the latest. Storage beyond this period is possible. In this case, the IP addresses of the users are deleted or alienated, so that an assignment of the calling client is no longer possible.

e) Possibility of objection and removal

The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of the data in log files is absolutely necessary for the operation of the website. Consequently, there is no possibility of objection on the part of the user.

The collection of other personal data during the registration process serves to prevent misuse of the services or the e-mail address used.

d) Duration of storage

The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected.

8. Social Plugins from Google +, Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, YouTube, XING and LinkedIn.

Our website contains some cross-references (hyperlinks) to other websites that do not belong to STIFT. STIFT and the implementation partners of ThEx (IHK Erfurt) assume no liability for any data protection violations that may occur when visiting these offers.

Specifically, social plugins (“plugins”) of the services Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Pinterest, YouTube, XING and LinkedIn are used on our websites. The plugins are marked with the respective logo of the corresponding service (e.g. in the form of a blue “Twitter bird” for Twitter). Via these social plugins, personal data can be sent to the service providers (also to non-European countries) and possibly used by them.

We do not collect any personal data ourselves by means of the social plugins or via their use. We have configured the social plugins so that initially no personal data is passed on to the providers of the individual social plugins when you visit our website. Only when you click on one of the social plugins can data be transmitted to the service provider and stored there.

When you click on the corresponding buttons of the service provider, the service provider receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding subpage of our online offer. You do not need to have an account with this service provider or be logged in there. If you are logged in to the service provider, this data is directly assigned to your account. If you click on one of the social plugins and link to the page, for example, the service provider will also store this information in your user account and share this publicly with your contacts.

If you do not want the association with your profile at the service provider, you must log out before clicking on one of the social plugins. You can also completely prevent the loading of the plugins with add-ons for your browser, e.g. with the script blocker “NoScript” (https://noscript.net/).

We have no influence on whether and to what extent the service providers collect personal data. We also do not know the scope, purpose and storage period of the data collection. It must be assumed that at least the IP address and device-related information are collected and used. It is also possible that the service providers use cookies.

The purpose and scope of the data collection and the further processing and use of the data by the respective service providers, as well as your rights in this regard and setting options for protecting your privacy, can be found in the corresponding data protection notices:

9. Web analysis by Matomo (PIWIK)
10. a) Scope of the processing of personal data

We use the open source software tool Matomo (formerly PIWIK) on our website to analyze the surfing behavior of our users. The software sets a cookie on the user’s computer (for cookies, see already above). If individual pages of our website are accessed, the following data is stored:

Two bytes of the IP address of the user’s accessing system.

The website accessed

The website from which the user accessed the accessed website (referrer)

The subpages accessed from the accessed website

The time spent on the website

The frequency of accessing the website

The software runs exclusively on the servers of our website. A storage of the personal data of the users only takes place there. The data is not passed on to third parties.

The software is set in such a way that the IP addresses are not stored completely, but 2 bytes of the IP address are masked (ex: 192.168.xxx.xxx). In this way, an assignment of the shortened IP address to the accessing computer is no longer possible.

b) Legal basis for the processing of personal data

The legal basis for the processing of the users’ personal data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

c) Purpose of the data processing

The processing of users’ personal data enables us to analyze the surfing behavior of our users. By evaluating the data obtained, we are able to compile information about the use of the individual components of our website. This helps us to continuously improve our website and its user-friendliness. In these purposes also lies our legitimate interest in processing the data in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. By anonymizing the IP address, the interest of users in their personal data protection is sufficiently taken into account.

d) Duration of storage

The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required for our recording purposes.

In our case, this is the case after 6 months.

e) Possibility of objection and removal

Cookies are stored on the user’s computer and transmitted to our site by the user. Therefore, you as a user also have full control over the use of cookies. By changing the settings in your Internet browser, you can disable or restrict the transmission of cookies. Cookies that have already been stored can be deleted at any time. This can also be done automatically. If cookies are deactivated for our website, it may no longer be possible to use all functions of the website in full.

We offer our users the option of opting out of the analysis process on our website. To do this, you must follow the corresponding link. In this way, another cookie is set on their system, which signals to our system not to store the user’s data. If the user deletes the corresponding cookie from their own system in the meantime, they must set the opt-out cookie again.

Rights of the data subject

If personal data is processed from you, you are a data subject within the meaning of the GDPR and you are entitled to the following rights against the controller:

Under the following conditions, you may request the restriction of the processing of personal data concerning you:

if you contest the accuracy of the personal data concerning you for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data;

the processing is unlawful and you object to the erasure of the personal data and request instead the restriction of the use of the personal data;

the controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of processing, but you need them for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims; or

if you have objected to the processing pursuant to Article 21 (1) GDPR and it is not yet clear whether the legitimate grounds of the controller outweigh your grounds.

If the processing of personal data concerning you has been restricted, such data may – apart from being stored – only be processed with your consent or for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the Union or a Member State.

If the restriction of processing has been restricted in accordance with the above conditions, you will be informed by the controller before the restriction is lifted.

1. d) Right to erasure
   1. aa) Obligation to erasure

You may request the controller to erase the personal data concerning you without undue delay, and the controller is obliged to erase such data without undue delay, if one of the following reasons applies:

The personal data concerning you are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.

You revoke your consent on which the processing was based pursuant to Art. 6 (1) a or Art. 9 (2) a GDPR and there is no other legal basis for the processing.

The deletion of the personal data concerning you is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation under Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject.

The personal data concerning you was collected in relation to information society services offered pursuant to Article 8(1) of the GDPR.

1. 1. bb) Information to third parties

If the controller has made the personal data concerning you public and is obliged to erase it pursuant to Article 17(1) of the GDPR, it shall take reasonable measures, including technical measures, having regard to the available technology and the cost of implementation, to inform data controllers which process the personal data that you, as the data subject, have requested that they erase all links to or copies or replications of such personal data.

1. 1. cc) Exceptions

The right to erasure does not exist to the extent that the processing is necessary

For the exercise of the right to freedom of expression and information;

for compliance with a legal obligation which requires processing under Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject, or for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller;

for reasons of public interest in the area of public health pursuant to Art. 9(2)(h) and (i) and Art. 9(3) GDPR;

for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes pursuant to Article 89(1) GDPR, insofar as the right referred to in section a) is likely to render impossible or seriously prejudice the achievement of the purposes of such processing; or

for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims.

1. 1. e) Right to information

If you have asserted the right to rectification, erasure or restriction of processing against the controller, the controller is obliged to inform all recipients to whom the personal data concerning you have been disclosed of this rectification or erasure of the data or restriction of processing, unless this proves impossible or involves a disproportionate effort.

You have the right against the controller to be informed about these recipients.

1. 1. f) Right to data transferability

You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you that you have provided to the controller in a structured, common and machine-readable format. In addition, you have the right to transfer this data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to whom the personal data was provided, provided that

the processing is based on consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) a GDPR or Art. 9 (2) a GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Art. 6 (1) b GDPR and

the processing is carried out with the help of automated procedures.

In exercising this right, you also have the right to obtain that the personal data concerning you be transferred directly from one controller to another controller, insofar as this is technically feasible. Freedoms and rights of other persons must not be affected by this.

The right to data portability does not apply to processing of personal data necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.

1. 1. g) Right of objection

You have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning you which is carried out on the basis of Article 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions.

The controller shall no longer process the personal data concerning you unless it can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves the purpose of asserting, exercising or defending legal claims.

If the personal data concerning you is processed for the purposes of direct marketing, you have the right to object at any time to processing of the personal data concerning you for the purposes of such marketing; this also applies to profiling, insofar as it is related to such direct marketing.

If you object to the processing for direct marketing purposes, the personal data concerning you will no longer be processed for these purposes.

You have the possibility, in connection with the use of information society services, notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, to exercise your right to object by means of automated procedures using technical specifications.

1. 1. h) Right to revoke the declaration of consent under data protection law.

You have the right to revoke your declaration of consent under data protection law at any time. The revocation of consent does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until the revocation.

1. 1. i) Automated decision in individual cases including profiling.

You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing – including profiling – which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you. This does not apply if the decision

is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between you and the controller,

is permitted by legal provisions of the Union or the Member States to which the controller is subject and these legal provisions contain appropriate measures to protect your rights and freedoms as well as your legitimate interests, or

is carried out with your explicit consent.

However, these decisions may not be based on special categories of personal data pursuant to Article 9(1) of the GDPR, unless Article 9(2)(a) or (g) of the GDPR applies and appropriate measures have been taken to protect the rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests.

With regard to the first and last of the above-mentioned cases, the controller shall take reasonable steps to safeguard the rights and freedoms as well as your legitimate interests, which include, at a minimum, the right to obtain the intervention of a person on the part of the controller, to express his or her point of view and to contest the decision.

1. 1. j) Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority

Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your residence, workplace or the place of the alleged infringement, if you consider that the processing of personal data concerning you infringes the GDPR.

The supervisory authority to which the complaint has been lodged shall inform the complainant of the status and outcome of the complaint, including the possibility of a judicial remedy under Article 78 GDPR.

Privacy Policy bm|t

We take the protection of your personal data very seriously. It goes without saying that we always treat your personal data in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations.

The use of contact data published within the framework of the imprint obligation by third parties for the purpose of sending unsolicited advertising and information materials is hereby expressly prohibited. The operators of the pages expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of the unsolicited sending of advertising information, such as spam e‑mails.

III. COOKIES

Cookies are text files that are stored on your computer for technical reasons to ensure functionalities such as logging into the backend (until the browser window is closed) or to recognize your decisions such as sending the newsletter subscription (for 2 years) or deactivating the newsletter subscription (for 2 weeks) or accepting the cookie information (for 1 month) on your next visit. You can prevent the installation of cookies by setting your browser accordingly. This can lead to functional limitations if necessary.

Analysis of the use of the website

WEB ANALYSIS THROUGH MATOMO

We use the MATOMO web analytics tool to optimize the user experience. This is not an external service provider, but software that we run on our own web server. MATOMO only collects usage data if you have not activated the ‘Do-not-Track’ setting in your web browser. Furthermore, we only record usage data in anonymized form, which does not allow any conclusions to be drawn about individual users. If you have not enabled ‘Do-not-Track’, you can disable tracking in our cookie banner or below. We save this setting in a cookie so that we can take your wishes in this regard into account on your next visit.

Data collection due to the use of external services

GOOGLE MAPS

We may use Google Maps to display maps and to create directions. Google Maps is operated by Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.these pages will be marked accordingly.

By using this service, you consent to the collection, processing and use of the data collected and entered by Google. The terms of use for Google Maps can be found at http://www.google.com/intl/de_de/help/terms_maps.html [external page].

WEBFONTS

Our website uses web fonts on all pages, which are delivered directly from our server suitable for your browser. This ensures a consistent display on all browsers without passing data to Google in the process.

Our website also uses the symbol fonts from FontAwesome.com. FontAwesome.com is a service of Fonticons Inc. Our legitimate interest in using this technology is based on the fact that our current development tools do not yet support local installation of FontAwesome’s icon libraries, and that without the icons, content and user experience on the website would be significantly compromised. We are currently working on a solution.

To transfer FontAwesome’s resources, your browser establishes a direct connection to FontAwesome’s server and obtains the data directly from there. To do this, your IP address must be transmitted to FontAwesome’s server. If you do not want this to happen, you can block connections to kits.fontawesome.com in your operating system or a suitable browser add-on. In this case, the display of our website is impaired.

For more information about the purpose and scope of data collection and the further processing and use of data by Fonticons, Inc., your rights in this regard and settings options for protecting your privacy, please refer to the privacy notices there https://fontawesome.com/privacy [external page].

YOUTUBE

Our website integrates selective video content from the YouTube site operated by Google. The operator of the pages is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave, San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. When you visit one of our pages equipped with a YouTube video, a connection to the YouTube servers is established. This tells the YouTube server which of our pages you have visited. If you are logged into your YouTube account, you enable YouTube to assign your surfing behavior directly to your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account. For more information on the handling of user data, please refer to YouTube’s privacy policy at: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy [external page].

VIMEO
