Privacy Statement

The NA at BIBB will collect and further process your personal data according to Germany’s Federal Data Protection Act (German: Bundesdatenschutzgesetz, BDSG).

Personal data are individual details about personal or factual circumstances of a specific or identifiable person. Personal data includes, for example, the name, address, date of birth and e-mail address.

General data storage

The general information that your Internet browser sends with each request is stored in a so-called log file. This data is used only for statistical purposes. Based on this data, important information about the success of a website can be derived. The content of this log file is limited only to the time of the transaction, the browser name used and the browser version.

Data storage when using our online forms

The purpose of the processing of personal data is the organization and realization of the event.

We will not sell, forward or otherwise disclose your data to any third party.

The only exception is the storage of your data for the period of the organisation of the event you are planning to attend:

• Some of your personal data will appear on the list of participants and will be distributed to participants of the event and to staff in charge of the organization of the event.
• Furthermore your name, your organization and languages spoken will appear on your name-tag during the conference.
• The NA at BIBB may communicate contact details to third parties for the purpose of realizing the conference, e.g. for booking a hotel room or for the purpose of subsequent financial auditing.

General information on electronic data transmission

Electronic data transmission is effected at your own risk. We cannot guarantee the security of incoming e-mails against interception or tampering. Transmitted information, including that via e-mail, is generally not protected unless the browser is using SSL transmission or, in the case of e-mail, unless some other form of encryption technology is used. Otherwise, it is possible that information might be seen by third parties during transmission. As a precaution, you should avoid transmitting without encryption when sending information you want to remain confidential.

Encryption (SSL transmission) in online forms: SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) is an open standard developed by Netscape which is intended to safeguard the transmission of data via the internet. SSL helps prevent unauthorized access to security-relevant information and makes it possible to transmit data securely via the world wide web. This ensures that your personal data can really be read only at its intended destination.

You do not need special software to encrypt your data, just a standard browser with a security feature. Since we use a fixed 128-bit encryption to transmit orders, you must be using a browser version of Netscape Navigator 4.7, Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01 or Opera 4.0 or higher.

You can tell that information is being encrypted by checking for the “https” at the beginning the internet address. In addition, a key icon will appear in the browser window.

You can also choose to print out the desired form and send it to us by fax or by letter, to safeguard your data.
