You may at any time object to the processing of your personal data for marketing purposes – including profiling in connection with direct marketing – without giving reasons.
Moreover, you have a general right to object (cf. Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR). In this case, reasons must be given for the objection.

Furthermore, you have the right to file a complaint with a Data Protection Authority against the data processings performed by us.
The purchase of event tickets (tickets for trade fairs, symposiums, or other events) requires the setting up of a customer account. Via this account you can also use further services and book further tickets. After the trade fair, you can deactivate such account at any time if you want to.
If desired, Deutsche Messe AG will facilitate an easy transfer of the data stored in connection with the visitor’s ticket registration to an exhibitor or to other companies / organisations / persons participating in the event (e.g., participants of a conference or forum, speakers, sponsors, etc.; hereinafter “event participants”). The event participant can scan the barcode on the ticket and will obtain the data stored with Deutsche Messe AG.
Users of or our website or app can add exhibitors, products and events to their favourites list. On the basis of such favourites list, an optimal route will be generated for the user, which can be processed and stored in the user account. If you have installed the trade fair app – and consented to the use of your location – the app can show your specific route and your location.

We use the online advertising programme “Facebook Ads” and related conversion tracking. When you click on an ad placed by Facebook, a conversion tracking cookie will be placed on your computer. These cookies expire after a period of 30 days and are not used for personal identification. Without your consent, Facebook will not disclose your private personal information to advertisers. For example, advertisers will receive reports listing the number of users who have seen or clicked on an ad, but such reports do not contain information about who has seen or clicked on an ad. The reports only contain aggregated public or non-personal data. If you access certain of our webpages and the cookie has not yet expired, Facebook and we can tell that you clicked on the ad and were redirected to the respective page. Every Facebook Ads customer receives a different cookie, which ensures that cookies cannot be traced through the websites of Facebook Ads customers. The information collected via the conversion cookie is used to compile reports listing the number of users who have seen or clicked on an ad without providing information about who has seen or clicked on an ad. The reports only contain aggregated public or non-personal data. Moreover, Facebook supports the “Do Not Track (DNT)” option. If you activate the DNT option on your browser, Facebook will not match your account to browser-related information in order to display tailored ads to you. For further information on DNT and on how to enable this option on your browser, please see: http://optout.aboutads.info.
