The integration of these partner services by Streavent serves the purpose of being able to offer you the smoothest and most user-friendly event experience possible. For this purpose, personal data will be sent to the partner companies to the extent necessary. This data will only be stored as long as it is necessary for the execution of the Symposium. The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. b) and lit. f) GDPR, whereby our legitimate interest lies in the above-mentioned purpose.
Please ensure that you comply with the terms of use of the respective providers. This includes in particular checking that you do not infringe any third-party rights (in particular copyright/trademark or patent rights, personal rights or other third-party rights) within the scope of the Symposium.
In this context, we would also like to point out that the use of partner companies (especially Zoom) may involve the transfer of data to the USA. The USA is a third country whose level of data protection is not comparable to that of the EU. Insofar as data is transferred to the USA, this is always done in accordance with Art. 44 et seq. of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). So-called standard contractual clauses within the meaning of Art. 46 GDPR have been concluded as suitable guarantees. You can find more detailed information on this in the privacy statements of the partner companies (see above).

As we take the protection of your data very seriously, we hope to have created a little more transparency and clarity for you by providing this information.
