Privacy Policy

We, the organizers of the Aachen-Dresden-Denkendorf International Textile Conference, welcome you to our website and thank you for your interest. We take the data protection of our online offer very seriously. In the following, you will find all the information you need on this subject. Personal data is always processed in accordance with the applicable data protection regulations, in particular the General Data Protection Regulation. However, if you wish to make use of special services relating to our conference via our website, processing of personal data could become necessary. Insofar as personal data (e.g. name, address, telephone number or e-mail address) is collected, this is always done, as far as possible, on a voluntary basis. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we generally obtain the consent of the data subject. We store this data for as long as you wish to use the relevant service, after which it is deleted. We will of course treat your personal data confidentially and will not pass it on to third parties under any circumstances. You can request information about your data at any time (more on this in the section "User rights"). As the controller, we have implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection of personal data processed through this website. Nevertheless, Internet-based data transmissions can always have security gaps, so that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transmit personal data to us by alternative means, for example by telephone.

Your IP address, your browser ID and domain, the name of the retrieved file, the date and time of the retrieval, the amount of data transferred and the successful retrieval are recorded in a log file. The server log files are anonymized data that are collected when you access our website. This information does not allow any conclusions to be drawn about you personally, but is indispensable for technical reasons for the delivery and presentation of our content. We register your accesses for reasons of data security, to ensure the stability and operational security of our systems and to ward off unauthorized attacks, as well as for reasons of statistics and the continuous optimization of our content. The log data is thus used exclusively for internal purposes and will not be passed on to third parties under any circumstances.

3. Routine deletion and blocking of personal data

We process and store personal data from you only for the period of time necessary to achieve the purpose of storage or insofar as this has been provided for by the European Directive and Ordinance or another legislator in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject. If the storage purpose ceases to apply or if a storage period prescribed by the European Directive and Regulation Maker or another competent legislator expires, the personal data will be routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with the statutory provisions.

4. User rights

They have the right to receive, upon request and free of charge, information about the personal data stored about them. In addition, they have the right to correction, blocking, deletion, restriction of processing, revocation of consent under data protection law in accordance with the statutory provisions, as well as the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data relating to them.

5. Contact possibility via e-mail

Due to legal regulations, our website contains information that enables a quick electronic contact to our contact persons as well as an immediate communication with us, which also includes the e-mail address. If you contact us by e-mail or via a contact form, the personal data you provide will be stored automatically. Such personal data transmitted on a voluntary basis will be stored for the purpose of processing or contacting you. This personal data will not be passed on to third parties.

6. Contents and services of third parties

The offer on our website may also include content, services and benefits from other providers that complement our offer. Examples of such offers are maps from Google maps, YouTube videos or graphic representations of third parties. Calling up these third-party services regularly requires the transmission of your IP address. This makes it possible for these providers to perceive your user IP address and also to store it. We make every effort to include only those third-party providers that use IP addresses solely for the purpose of delivering content. However, we have no influence on which third-party provider stores the IP address, if any. This storage may serve statistical purposes, for example. Should we become aware of storage processes by third-party providers, we will immediately inform our users of this fact.

7. Links to other websites

The online offer contains links to other websites (so-called external links). We have no influence on whether the operators of other websites comply with data protection regulations. Please note that if you click on a link to another website, you will be subject to different data protection regulations. We have no influence on the data processing there.

8. Legal basis of processing

Article 6 (1) lit. a DS-GVO serves as our legal basis for processing operations in which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, the processing is based on Art. 6 (1) (b) DS-GVO. The same applies to such processing operations that are necessary for the performance of pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of inquiries about our services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation by which a processing of personal data becomes necessary, such as for the fulfillment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. c DS-GVO. Ultimately, processing operations could be based on Art. 6 (1) lit. f DS-GVO. Processing operations that are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases are based on this legal basis if the processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject are not overridden. If the processing of personal data is based on Article 6 (1) lit. f DS-GVO, the legitimate interest lies in the performance of our business activities as well as the maintenance of the ability to conduct business.
