Designation of the Responsible Entity

The responsible entity for data processing on this website is:

CARS Conference Office
Prof. Heinz U. Lemke
Klettgaustrasse 20

The responsible entity alone or jointly with others determines the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g., names, contact details, etc.).

Revocation of Your Consent to Data Processing

Some data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You may revoke your consent at any time. An informal notification by email is sufficient for the revocation. The legality of data processing carried out before the revocation remains unaffected.

Right to Lodge a Complaint with the Competent Supervisory Authority

If there is a violation of data protection law, you as the affected party have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority. The competent supervisory authority for data protection matters is the Data Protection Commissioner of the federal state in which our company is based. The following link provides a list of data protection commissioners and their contact details: https://www.bfdi.bund.de/DE/Infothek/Anschriften_Links/anschriften_links-node.html.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to have data that we process based on your consent or in fulfillment of a contract handed over to yourself or to third parties. The provision is made in a machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of data to another responsible party, this will only be done to the extent technically feasible.

Right to Information, Correction, Blocking, Deletion

Within the scope of applicable legal provisions, you have the right to free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of data processing, and, if necessary, a right to correct, block, or delete this data. You can contact us at any time using the contact details provided in the legal notice regarding this and other questions on the subject of personal data.

SSL or TLS Encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content that you send to us as the website operator, this website uses SSL or TLS encryption. This ensures that data you transmit via this website cannot be read by third parties. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the “https://” address line in your browser and the lock symbol in the browser line.

Server Log Files

The provider of this website automatically collects and stores information in server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:

  • Browser type and browser version
  • Operating system used
  • Referrer URL
  • Host name of the accessing computer
  • Time of the server request
  • IP address

There is no merging of this data with other data sources. The basis for data processing is Article 6 (1) (b) of the GDPR, which allows the processing of data for the fulfillment of a contract or pre-contractual measures.

Contact Form

Data transmitted via the contact form, including your contact details, is stored in order to process your request or to be available for follow-up questions. This data will not be passed on without your consent.

The processing of data entered in the contact form takes place exclusively on the basis of your consent (Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR). You can revoke your consent at any time. An informal email notification is sufficient for revocation. The legality of data processing carried out before the revocation remains unaffected.

Data submitted via the contact form will remain with us until you request deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or the necessity for data storage no longer applies. Mandatory legal provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.

Newsletter Data

To send our newsletter, we require an email address from you. Verification of the provided email address is necessary, and the receipt of the newsletter must be consented to. No additional data is collected, or it is voluntary. The data is used exclusively for sending the newsletter.

The data provided during the newsletter registration is processed exclusively based on your consent (Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR). You can revoke your consent at any time. An informal email notification or unsubscribing via the “unsubscribe” link in the newsletter is sufficient for revocation. The legality of data processing carried out before the revocation remains unaffected.

Data entered for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter will be deleted in the event of cancellation. If this data has been provided to us for other purposes and elsewhere, it will remain with us.
