If necessary, we process your personal data within the scope of your concrete registration, the organization and performance of the event you have requested for and/or an existing the business relationship with you in order to protect the legitimate interests of us or third parties. This requires a weighing of interests in accordance with Art. 6 (1) f) GDPR, according to which a processing of personal data is permissible if it is necessary to safeguard the legitimate interests and does not outweigh the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require the protection of personal data.

Your registration and the organization and performance of the events for which you have registered establish a direct and relevant relationship between you and us which entitles us to process your personal data. We ensure that you only receive the information, invitations and offers that are relevant or of interest to you. Our legitimate interest in this respect is your interest in our events, products and business relationships, which we would like to develop further with you.

You may of course withdraw such consent at any time in accordance with Art. 7 (3) GDPR with effect for the future.
