When you contact us by e-mail or via a contact form, the data you provide (your e-mail address, your name and telephone number if applicable) will be stored by us in order to answer your questions. We will delete the data that arises in this context after storage is no longer necessary, or restrict processing if there are legal storage obligations.

If we use contracted service providers for individual functions of our offer or would like to use your data for advertising purposes, we will inform you below in detail about the respective processes. We will also specify the criteria for the storage period.

Purpose of data processing

Data storage is carried out for the purpose of member administration, seminar and event administration, association organisation, dispatch of information and newsletters.

Disclosure of data

The data will only be passed on to third parties, in particular service providers, for the purpose of processing the above-mentioned purposes.

Standard periods for data deletion

After expiry of the respective legal retention periods, the corresponding data will be deleted insofar as they are no longer required for membership or the fulfilment of contractual or other obligations. Data that are not affected by this will be deleted as soon as the intended purpose no longer applies.

Planned data transfer to third countries

There are no plans to transfer data to third countries.

General description of security of processing

All persons and employees who are involved in the processing and use of the data are bound by a written declaration of compliance with data secrecy.
