Transfer of data to entities outside the European Union
In some cases we use service providers from countries outside the European Union or the European Economic Area ("third countries"). We select these service providers carefully and check them regularly. In such cases, data will only be transmitted if the other conditions for such transmission under the GDPR are fulfilled (e.g. signing of EU standard contractual clauses with the service provider(s) under Art. 46 (2) c) GDPR).
If you are travelling to a third country during one of our events and your contract also includes our travel booking, we will organise the trip for you. For example, we may transfer your personal data to a hotel in a third country for the purpose of organising your trip. In such cases, transmission shall take place in accordance with the conditions laid down in Art. 49 GDPR.
We store your personal data as long as this is necessary for the execution of the contract and, in addition, as long as we are legally obliged to do so. For example, we are required by law to keep records for tax purposes (§ 147 Abgabenordnung) and for accounting purposes (§ 257 Handelsgesetzbuch). The retention periods are six to ten years. Insofar as we are legally obliged to store the data, it is stored in a limited form for your protection. If the data is no longer required for the fulfilment of contractual or legal obligations, the data will be deleted in accordance with our deletion concept.
You have the right of access (Art. 15 GDPR), rectification (Art. 16 GDPR), right to be forgotten (Art. 17 GDPR), right to restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR) and the right to data portability (Art. 20 GDPR).
In addition, you have the right to object under Art. 21 GDPR in the context of processing based on Art. 6 (1) f) GDPR.
You have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority if you believe that the processing of your personal data is contrary to the GDPR. This right shall be without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy.
In contractual relationships we collect your personal data only for the purposes described above, i.e. insofar as this is necessary, for example, for the proper execution of the contract. You are not obliged to provide personal data. However, if you do not provide any personal data, the contract cannot be fulfilled.
If you give us your consent, we use your personal data solely for the purpose covered by the consent; this purpose is described in detail in the consent text. Consent is voluntary, which means you can give it or not.
If the processing of your personal data is based on legal requirements, there is a provision obligation based on these legal requirements. In order to comply with these legal requirements, we need the necessary information from you, which may contain personal data. If you do not provide us with the necessary information, we will not be able to establish or continue the desired business relationship with you.
If we process your personal data on the basis of our legitimate interests, we may be obliged to make them available on the basis of general obligations of providing assistance. In any case, before processing your personal data, we consider whether the processing is necessary and whether your interests in non-processing predominate. In the case of processing based on Article 6 (1) f) GDPR, you have a right to object pursuant to Art. 21 GDPR.
Information on the right to object pursuant to Art. 21 GDPR
You have the right to object at any time, for reasons arising from your particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning you under Art. 6 (1) f) GDPR (data processing necessary for the purposes of legitimate interests). Further information on our data processing and on which legal regulation we base them in each case can be found in our specific data protection information further down in accordance with Art. 13, 14 GDPR. If you object, we will no longer process your personal data, unless we can prove compelling reasons worthy of protection for the processing, which outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.
The objection can be made free of charge and form and should be addressed to
or per E-Mail to objection[at]falkfoundation.de
