GDPR), we make use of content or services offered by third-party providers in order to provide their content and services Services, such as Include videos or fonts (collectively referred to as “content”).
This always presupposes that the third-party providers of this content perceive the IP address of the users, since they could not send the content to their browser without the IP address. The IP address is therefore required for the presentation of this content. We endeavor to use only content whose respective providers use the IP address solely for the delivery of the content. Third parties may also use so-called pixel tags (invisible graphics, also referred to as “web beacons”) for statistical or marketing purposes. The “pixel tags” can be used to evaluate information such as visitor traffic on the pages of this website.

Use of Facebook social plugins
Based on our legitimate interests (ie interest in the analysis, optimization and economic operation of our online offer within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) f. GDPR) we use social plugins (“plugins”) of the social network facebook.com, which operated by Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbor, Dublin 2, Ireland (“Facebook”).

When a user invokes a feature of this online offering that includes such a plugin, their device establishes a direct connection to the Facebook servers. The content of the plugin is transmitted by Facebook directly to the device of the user and incorporated by him into the online offer. In the process, user profiles can be created from the processed data. We therefore have no influence on the amount of data that Facebook collects with the help of this plugin and therefore informs the users according to our knowledge.
By integrating the plugins, Facebook receives the information that a user has accessed the corresponding page of the online offer. If the user is logged in to Facebook, Facebook can assign the visit to his Facebook account. If users interact with the plugins, for example, press the Like button or leave a comment, the information is transmitted from your device directly to Facebook and stored there. If a user is not a member of Facebook, there is still the possibility that Facebook will find out and save their IP address. According to Facebook, only an anonymous IP address is stored in Germany.

XING Events
We use XING Events. We work with XING Events and its software as a third-party provider to sell tickets for our events and publish a list of participants. XING-Events processes and stores user and customer data in accordance with the legal requirements of the GDPR.
XING Events is a brand of XING SE, which offers various services related to the management of events. XING Events GmbH acts as the technical service provider for XING SE. When using XING Events, event participants also become contractual partners of XING SE – on the basis of the XING General Terms and Conditions, which must be accepted by the event participant. Personal data is thus processed by XING SE on its own responsibility. Because XING SE transmits the data to the event organizer for its own use on the basis of an effective legal basis, the data will also include personal data from us, which we in turn process for our own purposes.
When you register for one of our events on XING Events, the data you provide will be stored by us for the purpose of processing your request and in case of follow-up questions. For example, if you purchase a ticket for one of our events, we will collect, process and use your personal data to process your order and to prepare, execute and follow-up on your order.
The legal basis for this is Article 6 paragraph 1 sentence 1 letter a) and f) GDPR. The legitimate interest is based on the provision of the above-mentioned services.
