Delete all cookies set due to a prior given consent by this website- Collection and processing of personal data
- Scope of personal data processing
As a general rule, we only process personal data concerning our users where necessary in order to provide a functional website and to provide our content and services. Personal data concerning our users will only be processed regularly if the user has given his or her consent. An exemption applies in such cases where it is impossible, for reasons of fact, to gain prior consent and the processing of data is permitted by law.
- Legal basis for personal data processing
Where we obtain the consent of the data subject for processing procedures, Article 6(1)(a) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis. When processing personal data that is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party, Article 6(1)(b) GDPR serves as the legal basis. The same applies for processing procedures that are necessary in order to take steps prior to entering into a contract. Where it is necessary to process personal data for compliance with a legal obligation that IfADo must meet, Article 6(1)(c) GDPR serves as the legal basis.
In the event that the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person require the processing of personal data, Article 6(1)(d) GDPR serves as the legal basis.
If processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by IfADo or by a third party and if the aforementioned interests are not overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject, then Article 6(1)(f) GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing.
- Erasure of data and storage period
The personal data concerning the data subject will be erased or made unavailable as soon as the purpose of storage ceases to apply. Data may also be stored where provision has been made for this by European or national legislators in Union regulations, laws or other provisions to which IfADo is subject. Data will also be made unavailable or erased where a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned legislation expires, unless there is a need for the further retention of the data for the purpose of entering into or performing a contract.
- Export, Use and disclosure of personal data
Your personal data is managed and stored at IfADo.
On the IfADo web pages there is the possibility to use form fields to register for studies or events. In the forms, you must provide us with the personal data required to conduct a service and to fulfil the associated contractual obligations, or which we are legally obliged to collect. These data fields are marked as mandatory fields when collecting data. Without this data, we must usually refuse to conclude the contract or execute the order.
We process and hold your personal data for as long as is needed to fulfil our contractual and statutory obligations. Data that is no longer necessary for the fulfilment of contractual or statutory obligations is regularly deleted, unless further – temporary – processing is necessary to comply with retention periods under commercial and tax law, for instance under the Handelsgesetzbuch (German commercial code) or Abgabenordnung (German fiscal code). The retention/documentation periods specified there are between six and ten years.
Your personal data will only be transmitted to state institutions and authorities when required by legislation or for the purpose of prosecution for attacks on our network infrastructure. Data will not be disclosed to third parties for any other purpose.
