Privacy Policy

General Information

The NF Wire Forum is pleased about your interest in our event. We take the protection of your personal data seriously and hereby inform you about the type and scope of the personal data that we collect when you visit our website. The following privacy policy applies to the website https://www.nf-wireforum.com.

The use of our website is generally possible without providing personal data. Where personal data, such as your name, address or e-mail address, is collected on our website, this is, wherever possible, done on a voluntary basis. This data will not be passed on to third parties without your express consent.

All personal data is collected, processed and used in accordance with the applicable regulations for the protection of personal data.

Name and Address of the Controller

The controller within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), other data protection laws applicable in the Member States of the European Union and other provisions relating to data protection is NF Wire Forum. Contact details can be found in the Imprint.

Cookies and Server Log Files

The NF Wire Forum website uses cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored on a computer system via an Internet browser.

The use of cookies enables the websites and servers visited to distinguish the individual browser of the data subject from other browsers.

By using cookies, NF Wire Forum can improve the user-friendliness of this website and provide services that would not be possible without cookies. For example, users of a website that uses cookies do not have to enter their access data again each time they visit the website because this information can be stored in a cookie on the user’s computer system.

By changing the settings of the relevant Internet browser, the setting of cookies can be prevented for all websites. Cookies that have already been set can also be deleted. This is possible in all common Internet browsers, although the functionality of the website may be restricted as a result.

For technical reasons, so-called server log files are also created. In these files, the hosting provider stores technical data, such as browser type and version, operating system used, time of the request, IP address and similar information, which the browser automatically transmits to it. This data is not combined with other data.

Purpose of Data Collection and, Where Applicable, Transfer of Data

Personal data is only collected by us if you provide it voluntarily, for example as part of an inquiry. Data is entered in the areas described below.

Legal Basis for Processing

Where we obtain consent for specific processing operations, the legal basis is Article 6(1)(a) GDPR. Where the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract, for example for the delivery of goods, or for pre-contractual measures, for example in response to inquiries, the legal basis is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR. Where our company is subject to a legal obligation that requires the processing of personal data, for example to comply with tax obligations, the legal basis is Article 6(1)(c) GDPR.

Where the processing of personal data is not based on any of the aforementioned legal bases, we process data to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company, in particular to improve our business activities and to analyze, optimize and operate our website economically. In doing so, we always ensure that no overriding interests, fundamental rights or freedoms of the data subject conflict with our legitimate interests.

Duration of Storage of Personal Data

The criterion for determining the duration of storage of personal data is the applicable statutory retention period. After this period has expired, the relevant data is routinely deleted if it is no longer required for the fulfillment or initiation of a contract.

If you send us an e-mail using the contact form, your e-mails will be received in the relevant mailboxes and archived there for an unlimited period of time.

Data stored in connection with the use of our Facebook page will, insofar as this is possible for us, be deleted when operation of the Facebook page is discontinued.

Rights of Data Subjects

You have the right to obtain information about your personal data stored by us and the purpose of its storage at any time. You may revoke your consent to the storage or use of your personal data at any time. In addition, you have the right to request the correction, restriction of processing, blocking or deletion of your personal data.

You have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority. For North Rhine-Westphalia, this is the State Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information of North Rhine-Westphalia in Düsseldorf.

You also have the right to receive the personal data you have provided in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and to transmit this data to another controller where the legal requirements are met.

If you have any questions regarding the processing of your personal data, you can also contact us directly. The responsible office is stated in the Imprint. For all questions, requests for information, applications or complaints, you can also contact our external Data Protection Officer directly.
