Should we ever process your personal data for a purpose other than that for which we originally have collected it, we will inform you of this new purpose in accordance with the applicable law. 

4. Recipients of your data

In some cases, personal data may be disclosed to third parties as processors - to MGM or suppliers of external services (e.g. programming or other services, server services, etc.), to operators of technologies, or to the extent necessary to legal or tax advisors.

 

In some cases as provided for by the applicable law, we are entitled or obliged to transfer certain personal data on the basis of valid and effective legal regulations, for example to law enforcement authorities or other public authorities.

 

In any other cases, we will only pass on your personal data to third parties if you have given us the appropriate permission to do so.

We do not transfer your data to recipients in countries without an adequate level of data protection (third countries).

 

6. How long do we process your personal data?

The controller will process your personal data until the end of the calendar year in which the conference was held plus 3 years.

 

7. Required personal data

You provide personal data to us on a voluntary basis, however the provision of certain data is required for the use of our services, which means that if you do not provide it to us, you will not be able to use some of the services of our sales network.

If we receive a request within the meaning of this Article, we will inform the applicant of the measures taken without undue delay and in any event within one month of receipt of the request. This time limit may be extended by up to two additional months if necessary and in view of the complexity and number of requests.

 

The controller is not obliged to comply with a request, for example, where the request is manifestly unfounded or unreasonable, in particular because it is repetitive. In such cases, the controller may charge a reasonable fee taking into account the administrative costs involved in providing the requested information or, where appropriate, refuse to comply with the request. In the event of reasonable doubt as to the identity of the applicant, we are entitled to ask the applicant to provide additional information necessary to confirm the identity of such applicant.

 

In addition, you have the right to withdraw your consent (where applicable) to the processing of your personal data at any time.
