The data protection statement below shows you what personal data we process and how.
So you know who you can turn to about your data, first let us tell you who is legally responsible for processing it and who you should contact specifically in connection with your interests.

As well as protocol data, we may also need to gather personal data to rectify problems or as evidence in the event of security incidents. We then process protocol data as allowed in law.
We process it under Art. 6 para. 1(f) GDPR; our interest is in providing, safeguarding and optimising the website.
You can contact us using the contact form. Some of the data entered there is required to enable us to communicate with you and deal with what is concerning you. These are marked as mandatory fields. Other data you send us helps us talk to you personally or deal with things more promptly.
We process this under Art. 6 para. 1 (b) GDPR.

To ensure your data is sent securely, we use state of the art encryption procedures, e.g. SSL, via HTTPS.
This processing is allowed under Art. 6 para. 1 (b) GDPR.
We have a newsletter you can subscribe to on our website. We've flagged the data we need to send you it; there is also other data you can send us voluntarily, so we can write to you personally or coordinate content better. We request your consent to processing this data in the course of the subscription procedure citing this data protection statement.
We use the double opt-in method to check that the subscription to the newsletter has actually been made by someone who has an e-mail address. The e-mail address owner cannot subscribe to the newsletter until they have activated it expressly by clicking on the link from the confirmation e-mail. We record conducting the individual phases of the double opt in procedure as evidence.
If you register to subscribe to our newsletter and so agree to us sending it to you, we will only use your data to send you it. You can revoke your consent at any time. You'll find a link you can use to do this in each newsletter. We will note that you have unsubscribed to our newsletter in our database.
Data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required for the purpose it was gathered for. We save users' e-mail addresses for as long as they subscribe actively to our newsletter.
Processing this is allowed under Art. 6 para. 1 (a) GDPR.

This data will be exclusively used by E-world energy & water for the purpose of statistics, optimisation of business processes, the further development of E-world and for information on this event. If this data is gathered in connection with an invitation code and hence entitles the visitor to free admission, it is passed on to the inviting exhibitor. It is possible to visit the trade fair without making any data available by purchasing a day ticket at the ticket office.

You can share the content of our website on social networks via built-in social media interfaces. All social media networks which let you share content are linked not directly via social plug-ins of their providers but simply via hyperlinks. That's how we ensure your data is not sent to social network servers automatically as soon as you access our website. When sharing contents of our website, we only send data to the social network which is required to share the content concerned. We do not send any personal data in the process.
There are also other simple links to our Internet presence on each social network. If you follow the link from our website to a social network or log into your social network to share contents from our website, the social network provider concerned will process your data. To find out why a social network provider gathers data and how much data it gathers, how it processes it and uses it and your rights and setting options available to protect your privacy, please see that provider's data protection information.
Google Maps This site uses the Google Maps service via an API. This is provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. You need to save your IP address to use Google Maps functions. This information is usually sent to a Google server in the USA and saved there. This site's provider has no control over how this data is sent. We use Google Maps to show what we offer online attractively and help you find the places we mention on the website. This is a legitimate interest as defined in Art. 6 para. 1 (F) GDPR. To find out more about how we deal with users' data, see Google's data protection statement: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/.
Who do we send data to?
We only send your data to receivers insofar as we have to perform a contract with you or have a legitimate interest in forwarding your data or if you have consented to us forwarding it.
These recipients include service providers and other companies in our group.
We also send personal data to recipients who are based outside the EEA in what are known as third states. Before passing it on, we then ensure either that the recipient uses a reasonable level of data protection (e.g. because the European Commission has decided that country is reasonable or has agreed EU standard terms and conditions of contract with the recipient) or that you have consented to its being sent.
To find out more, particularly on the measures we take, you can consult our data protection officer.
Insofar as we need your personal data to establish and conduct business dealings and the contractual or statutory obligations this involves, you must provide this data, so we can meet our obligations to perform or legal obligations. Unless you provide your data, we may not be able to provide our services any more or not duly or completely.
If we save your personal data, we only do so for a limited period and only for as long as is necessary. In principle, we delete your data when we no longer need it for the purpose for which we gathered it or when the law requires us to delete it for other reasons.
Insofar as the law requires us to retain data for a longer period, particularly to meet commercial and tax law retention periods, we save data for from two to 10 years.
We may also be required to save data for other reasons in law, such as for evidential purposes for as long as the limitation rules applicable last. These periods are generally between two and 30 years.
The rights you have in respect of your personal data by law are as follows: You can apply to our data protection officer, even if you'd like to know more about what these rights mean individually. As the legal details are highly complex, we will give you the main details of your rights below. Please let us know in what form you would like the information. If you don't say in what form you'd like it, we will usually answer your queries in the same form as that in which you made them. You will hear back from us within a month. If enquiries are obviously unfounded or excessive, we may demand reasonable payment or refuse to answer them.
You have the right to ask whether we process your personal data or not. If we process your personal data, we will tell you what specific data it is and give you further information.
You have the right to demand that we correct your data insofar as it is incorrect, inaccurate and/or incomplete; the right to correct it also includes the right to complete it by making additional statements or communications.
You have the right to demand that we delete your personal data if we have no further reason to keep it.
You have the right to have processing your personal data restricted to a given extent in given cases.
You have the right in some cases to demand that we surrender the data concerning you in a commonly used electronic machine-readable form.
The right to data portability includes the right to have data transmitted to another controller; we will therefore transfer data directly to a controller you nominate or will nominate on demand, insofar as technically possible. The right to transmit data applies only to data you provided and assumes that it is processed based on consent or to perform a contract and is carried out using automated procedures.
Where personal data is processed to perform tasks in the public interest (Art. 6 para. 1 (e) GDPR) or exercise legitimate interests (Art. 6 para 1 (f) GDPR), you can object to personal data concerning you being processed with effect for the future at any time if there is no reason to continue processing it.
If you consented to us processing your personal data, you can revoke that consent at any time with effect for the future without giving any reasons. Please contact the contact to whom you gave your consent or directly to our data protection officer.
You have the right to complain to the competent supervisory authority about your personal data being processed, Art. 77 GDPR.
