Your rights as a data subject

We would first like to inform you of your rights as a data subject. Your rights are set out in Articles 15 - 22 of the GDPR. These include:

  • The right to information (Article15 GDPR),
  • The right to erasure (Article17 GDPR),
  • The right to rectification (Article16 GDPR),
  • The right to data portability (Article20 GDPR),
  • The right to the restriction of data processing (Article 18 GDPR),
  • Information on the right to object to data processing (Article 21 GDPR),

If you wish to assert any of these rights, please contact: Datenschutz@iba-group.com

Please use the same contact details if you have any questions about data processing in our company. You also have the right to complain to a data protection supervisory authority.

 

Rights to object

Please note the following in connection with your rights to object:

If we process your personal data for the purpose of direct marketing, you have the right to object to this data processing at any time without giving reasons. This also applies to profiling to the extent that it is related to the direct marketing.

If you object to processing for the purposes of direct marketing, we will no longer use your data for these purposes. The objection is free of charge and does not require any specific form. Please send your objection if at all possible to: Datenschutz@iba-group.com

In the event that we process your data for the furtherance of legitimate interests, you can object to the processing for reasons arising from your specific situation at any time; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions.

We will then no longer process personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate reasons for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing is in support of the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims.

 

Purpose and legal basis for the data processing

The provisions of the GDPR and the German Federal Data Protection Act (Bundesdatenschutsgesetz) (new version) as well as all other applicable provisions of data protection law are observed when your personal data is processed. The legal basis for data processing arises in particular from Article 6 GDPR.

We use your data for the initiation of business transactions, to meet contractual and legal obligations, in the performance of contracts, to offer products and services, to strengthen our relationship with customers - something which can also include analyses for marketing purposes and direct advertising.

Your consent also constitutes the consent required under data protection law. If we are using your consent, we explain to you the purposes of the data processing and your right to withdraw this consent. If the consent relates to the processing of particular categories of personal data we will make you aware of this in the consent.

Particular categories of personal data within the meaning of Article 9 GDPR are only processed if processing is needed as a result of legal requirements and there are no reasons for assuming that your legitimate interest overrides the prohibition of processing.

 

Transfers to third parties

We will only transfer your data to third parties within the bounds set by law or with your appropriate consent. Apart from the above, data is not transferred to third parties unless we are obliged to do so by mandatory provisions of law (transfers of data to external bodies such as supervisory bodies or law enforcement agencies).

 

Data recipients / categories of recipients

Within our company we ensure that the only persons who receive your data are persons who need the data to meet contractual or legal obligations.

In many cases service-providers support our departments in the performance of their tasks. The necessary agreements under data protection law has been concluded with all service-providers.

 

Transfers to third countries / purpose of transfer to third countries

Data is only transferred to third countries (i.e. countries outside the European Union and the European Economic Area) to the extent that this is necessary for the performance of a contractual obligation or is required by law or you have given us your consent for this transfer.

We transfer your personal data to a service-provider or to a Group company outside the European Economic Area. When doing so we ensure that the level of data protection is maintained.

 

Data storage time

We store your data for the time needed for the relevant processing purpose. Please note that there are many retention obligations which require data to be stored for a longer period.  This relates in particular to retention obligations under commercial or tax law (e.g. the German Commercial Code (Handelsgesetzbuch) or the German Fiscal Code (Abgabenordnung) etc. In the absence of retention obligations to the contrary, the data is routinely deleted after the purpose of the processing has been achieved.

We can also retain data if you have granted your permission for this or in the event of legal disputes, and we use evidence within the constraints of legal periods of limitation which can extend for up to thirty years; the standard period of limitation is three years.

 

Secure transfer of your data

We employ the relevant technical and organizational methods to protect data we save against accidental or intentional manipulation, loss, destruction or access by unauthorized persons. The security level is continually checked in collaboration with security experts and is amended in line with new security standards.

Data exchanged from and to our website is encrypted. We use HTTPS as the transfer protocol for our website and always apply the latest encryption protocols. When using our contact forms we always offer content encryption to our users. Only we are able to decrypt this data. Alternative methods of communication are also possible (e.g. mail).

 

Obligation of the provision of data

A range of personal data is needed for the establishment, implementation and termination of the obligations and the performance of the associated contractual and legal obligations. The same applies to the use of our website and the various functions which this provides.

We have summarized details of this for you in the above-mentioned point. In certain cases data must also be collected or provided by reason of the provisions of law. Please note that your inquiry cannot be processed or the underlying obligation performed if this data is not provided.

 

Automated individual decision-making

We do not use any automatic processing procedures to come to a decision.

 

Collection of general information

When you access our website, information of a general nature is collected, Article 6, Paragraph 1, Letter f) of the GDPR. This information (server logfiles) includes, for instance, the type of web-browser, the operating system used, the domain name of your Internet service-provider and similar. None of this information enables any conclusions to be drawn about your person. This information is needed for technical reasons to supply you correctly with the website content you requested and is essential when the Internet is used. We analyze anonymous information of this nature for statistical purposes in order to optimize our website and the technology behind it and to protect us in the event of a cyber attack.
Complete IP addresses are deleted after 7 days.

 

Newsletters and e-mail mailshots

a) General

If you register to receive our newsletter and email mailshots in line with a consent as required by Article 6, Paragraph 1, Letter a) GDPR, the data you provide is used exclusively for this purpose. Subscribers can also receive email information about circumstances relevant to the service or registration (for instance, changes to the newsletter service or technical factors).

We need a valid email address for registration. We use the “double opt-in” procedure to verify that a registration really does originate from the owner of an email address. As part of this process we record the order for the newsletter, the transmission of the confirmation email and the receipt of the answer we request. No further data is collected. The data is used exclusively for the distribution of the newsletter and is not passed to third parties.

You can revoke your consent to the saving of your personal data and its use for the distribution of newsletters at any time. You can find a corresponding link for this purpose in every newsletter. You can also unsubscribe at any time directly on this website or tell us that you wish to do so by using the contact information at the end/foot of this web-page.

b) Pardot Marketing Automation System (“Pardot MAS”)

We use the Pardot Marketing Automation System (“Pardot MAS”), a special software for collecting and evaluating the use of a website by website visitors and for sending advertising-newsletters.

When visiting this website, the Pardot MAS captures your click path and creates an individual usage profile using a pseudonym. For this purpose, cookies are used, which allow recognition of your browser. The legal basis is your consent, Art. 6 I 1 a DS-GVO.

However, you can deactivate the creation of pseudonymized user profiles at any time by configuring your Internet browser so that cookies of the domain “pardot.com” are not accepted. However, this may result in some limitations in the features and usability of our offering.

You can also withdraw your consent at any time here.

In order to provide you with an offer or product information that is as interesting as possible and to the extent your consent to it, it is possible to merge your personal data with the data of a pseudonymized user profile via the set cookies, if you – for example by ordering an advertising-newsletter or completing a form – provide personal information. You may opt-out to this use of your personal information, such as name and address information, in writing or by e-mail at Datenschutz@iba-group.com at any time. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future.

Advertising-newsletters sent with Pardot MAS contain so-called web beacons. These are smallest graphics that allow user behavior, such as opening and reading emails and clicking links to analyze. This allows us to make our content offered more relevant and interesting to you. The data collected is stored anonymously and is not assigned to your person. The data collected is purely statistical, as it is only collected anonymously and is not associated with your other personal data.

 

Lead retrieving system

We use the application snapADDY as a lead retrieving system at exhibitions and congresses. Before IBA is storing any data in the system, the user is always asked to give his/her consent.

The necessary contract has been concluded with snapADDY to ensure that your data is processed in compliance with data protection regulations.

For further information about the data protection guidelines of snapADDY we refer you to: https://www.snapaddy.com/en/privacy-security-hub/data-protection.html

Use of Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics employs what are called “cookies”; these are text files which are saved on your computer and which make an analysis of your use of the website possible. The information about your use of the website created by the cookie is normally transmitted to a server belonging to Google in the USA where it is saved. As a result of the anonymization of the IP addresses in these web-pages your IP address is, however, abbreviated by Google within the member states of the European Union or in other signatory states of the agreement on the European Economic Area. The complete IP address is only transmitted in exceptional cases to a Google server in the United States where it is abbreviated. Acting on behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on the activity on the website and to perform additional services associated with the use of the website and the Internet for the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser to Google Analytics is not linked with other data by Google. You can prevent cookies from being saved by setting your browser software accordingly; however, we wish to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all the functions of this website to their full extent. You can also prevent the collection of the data relating to your use of the website created by the cookie (including your IP address) by Google as well as the processing of the data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at the following link: Browser add-on to deactivateGoogle Analytics

Under Article 6, Paragraph 1, Letter a) of the GDPR your consent is necessary for the use of Google Analytics. You can give and withdraw this consent by using the cookie banner / cookiebot. The ability to edit your cookie settings can be found in the lower section above the list of cookies on this page.

 

Google Ads

Our website uses Google conversion tracking. If you landed on our website via an advertisement screened by Google, a cookie is set in your computer by Google Ads. The cookie for conversion tracking is set if a user clicks on an advertisement screened by Google. These cookies cease to work after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. If the user visits certain pages on our website and the cookie has not yet expired, both we and Google can identify that the user has clicked on the advertisement and was transferred to this page. Every Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. Cookies can therefore not be tracked via the websites of (different) Google Ads customers. The purpose of the information obtained with the aid of conversion cookies is to create conversion statistics for Google Ads customers who have decided in favor of conversion tracking. The customers are made aware of the total number of users who have clicked on their advertisement and have been forwarded to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information with which the user can be personally identified.

Under Article 6, Paragraph 1, Letter a) of the GDPR your consent is necessary for the use of Google Ads. You can give and withdraw this consent by using the cookie banner / cookiebot. The ability to edit your cookie settings can be found in the lower section above the list of cookies on this page.

The ability to edit your cookie settings can be found in the lower section above the list of cookies on this page.
