2. Explanation of terms

We have designed our Privacy Statement in accordance with the principles of clarity and transparency. However, should there be any ambiguity regarding the use of various terms, the corresponding definitions can be found here.

3. Legal basis for processing personal data

Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR: The data subject has given consent to the processing of his or her personal data for one or more specific purposes.

Art. 6(1) (b) GDPR: Processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party or in order to take steps at the request of the data subject prior to entering into a contract.

Art. 6(1) (c) GDPR: Processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which the controller is subject

Art. 6 (1)(d) GDPR: Processing is necessary in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person

Art. 6(1)(e) GDPR: Processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller

Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR: Processing is necessary for the purpose of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data, in particular where the data subject is a child.

However, we will always inform you at the appropriate points of the legal basis on which your personal data is being processed.

4. Disclosure of personal data

Where personal data are disclosed, processing is also carried out within the meaning of section 3, above. At this point, however, we would like to inform you separately about disclosure of data to third parties. The protection of your personal data is particularly important to us. For this reason, we are especially careful when disclosing your data to third parties.

Data is only disclosed to third parties if there is a legal basis for the processing. For example, we disclose personal data to persons or companies acting as processors on our behalf, pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR. A processor is anyone who processes personal data on our behalf, in particular under our instruction and control.

In accordance with the requirements of the GDPR, we conclude a contract with each of our processors in order to ensure that they comply with data protection regulations, thus providing comprehensive protection for your data.

5. Storage period and erasure

We will erase your personal data once those data are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed, and where the processing is not necessary for exercising the right of freedom of expression and information, for compliance with a legal obligation, for reasons of public interest, or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

6. SSL encryption

This site uses SSL encryption for security reasons and to safeguard the transfer of confidential content, such as any requests you send to us as the operators of the site. An encrypted connection can be identified by the change in the address from “http://” to “https://” and by the padlock symbol in your browser’s address bar.

With SSL encryption activated, the data which you transfer to us cannot be read by third parties.

7. Cookies

We use cookies on our website. Cookies are small data packets created automatically by your browser and stored on your client device when you visit our website. These cookies are used to store information about the client device being used.

When cookies are used, a distinction is made between technically necessary cookies and “other” cookies. Cookies are said to be technically necessary if they are essential for providing an information society service which you have expressly requested.

In order to make the use of our services more convenient for you, we use what are known as session cookies (e.g. language and font selection, shopping basket, etc.). These session cookies come under the category of technically necessary cookies and are automatically deleted after you have left our site. The legal basis for the cookies derives from Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR, a legal permission.

8. Collection and storage of personal data, their type and intended purpose

a) When visiting the website

When you access our website, information is automatically sent to our web server by the browser being used on your client device. This information is stored temporarily in what is known as a log file. The following information is recorded without any action on your part and stored until it is automatically erased:

• the IP address of the computer making the request,
• the date and time of access,
• the name and URL of the requested file,
• the browser used, and if applicable, your computer’s operating system and the name of your access provider.

We process the above-mentioned data for the following purposes:

• to ensure the connection to the website is established smoothly,
• for evaluation of system security and stability, and

Data which permit you to be identified as an individual, such as the IP address, will be erased after 7 days at the latest. Any data we store beyond this period will be pseudonymised, so that they can no longer be associated with you.

The legal basis for the data processing is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest derives from the data collection purposes listed above. Under no circumstances do we use the data collected for the purpose of identifying you as an individual.

b) Contractual relationship with an owner of the TEDME acoount

aa) contractual relationship

On our website, you have the option of creating a free or paid account.

Within the scope of the free account, you have the possibility to log into a closed access area. Here you can view your personal data (name, email address, change password) and your uploaded documents. If you give a presentation via our tool, your voting results will be saved together with your name, date and time. You can delete these at any time.

You can also delete your access at any time. Your personal data will then be deleted immediately.

In the context of the establishment of the contractual relationship, only the personal data that is absolutely necessary for the execution of the contract will be processed in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR.

If you choose a paid account, your data will still be passed on for payment processing as follows.

The legitimacy of the forwarding of the data results from Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR, for the implementation of the payment method selected by you as well as our legitimate interests according to Art. 6 (1) (f) DSGVO to enable user-friendly and uncomplicated payment processing.

This transmission is necessary to process your order with the payment method you have selected, in particular to confirm your identity, to administer your payment and the customer relationship.

However, please note: Personal data may also be disclosed by the online payment service provider to service providers, subcontractors or other affiliated companies to the extent that this is necessary to fulfil the contractual obligations arising from your order or the personal data is to be processed on behalf.

Depending on the payment method selected via PayPal, e.g. invoice or direct debit, the personal data transmitted to PayPal will be transferred by PayPal to credit reference agencies.

In an authenticated secret ballot, the PINs created can also be assigned to the respective e-mail addresses and names but not to a voting result. Only the PINs and names (or names and PINs of participants to be represented) that participated in the voting as a whole can be identified.
