HOW DO WE HAVE PHOTOGRAPHS MADE? WHAT HAPPENS WITH THESE?
We have photos taken and film recordings made at the event. We will use these photos and recordings for advertising purposes and in particular distribute these via our social media channels (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube) and through press releases and flyers. The legal basis is Article 6 Para. 1 Sentence 1 lit. a GDPR, consequently your consent. You either grant this consent with the reaction to the invitation to this event, by your signature at the entrance, by entering our event venue, and finally, by the fact that our photographers and camera operators will, as a rule, ask you before photos are taken or filming takes place in which you will be seen. If you enter the event with persons, who have not yet attained the age of 18, you assure that the legal guardians have granted their consent for this purpose. You can revoke the consent – insofar as compatible with the principles of good faith – at all times, with effect for the future. This may be carried out by an informal notification to the aforementioned contact channels (“Who we are”).
ARE WE OBLIGED TO COLLECT THESE DATA? WHAT HAPPENS IF WE DO NOT COLLECT THESE DATA?
There is no legal obligation to collect these data. However, there is the possibility that the absence of some or all data may occasionally lead to queries.
TO WHOM DO WE TRANSMIT THE DATA? AND: DO THE DATA LEAVE THE EUROPEAN UNION OR THE EUROPEAN ECONOMIC AREA?
- Our external IT service provider potentially has access to your data for IT maintenance purposes,
whereby we have selected this service provider carefully, check it regularly and bind it as per contract in compliance with the statutory stipulations. We involve the Humboldt University of Berlin with the entry of the data that are necessary for participation in the seminar.
- We further transmit the aforementioned data to external bodies, which assess the contributions in the competition. These are the Humboldt University of Berlin, Free University of Berlin, the Technical University of Berlin and the Charité – Berlin University of Medicine. These external bodies assess the projects according to criteria stipulated in advance and return their assessments to us.
WHICH RIGHTS DO YOU HAVE?
You have several rights. You have the right to receive information about your personal data that are processed as well as to rectification or erasure, to limitation of the processing, to object to the processing as well as to data portability. You further have the possibility to lodge a complaint about us at the supervisory authority that is responsible for us. We politely point out that this right is, if applicable, linked to pre-requisites, which we will insist upon you fulfilling.
