What is the legal basis for the processing of personal data?

The legal basis for the processing of personal data is Art. 6 para. 1 subpara. 1 lit. a and, if applicable, Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a GDPR (consent).

How long is personal data stored?

Unless otherwise agreed, the data will be stored for up to 2 years after the event.

For the purpose of billing costs such as catering, the first and last names of participants are stored in accordance with the statutory retention periods.

In the case of funded projects, the storage period depends on the funding regulations of the funding body.

This does not affect the legality of processing based on consent until it is withdrawn.
