Privacy Statement

I. Data Processing

We process your contact data for the purpose of providing information about and sending invitations to events organized by us or our partners on the basis of your consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) of the GDPR or to protect a legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. In doing so, we assume that you have a general interest in this event due to your relationship with WCS or the German Foreign Office, your role in society, your position or participation in previous events. If the data was not collected from you yourself or from persons appointed by you, the data originates from various sources, in particular from publicly accessible sources or business directories. If you no longer want to receive invitations, you can object to processing of your data for this purpose at any time or revoke consent granted to us with future effect.

II. Videos and photos:

We would like to inform you that photographers and/or camera teams may be present at this event for documentation purposes.
If you do not consent to the storage or use of photographic images or video recordings where the focus is upon you as an individual participant (or, as the case may be, together with other people), please make the on-site photographers and/or camera teams aware of this.

We reserve the right to publish and use the film footage or photos for an unlimited period of time for promotional purposes and to present itself. Your consent extends in particular to the use on websites (including the associated social media platforms, such as Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram and YouTube), and the use – including as covers – in printed materials such as annual reports and brochures and in presentations. Please understand that we cannot guarantee you will not appear (e.g. as one of many participants) on general recordings of the event that do not focus on individual participants.

If we makes recordings available to you, please understand that you are not permitted to make them accessible to third parties (in particular media companies, social media networks or websites).
The same rule applies to any film footage or photos of the event which you record or take yourself.

III. Compliance:

It is understood that consent has been obtained from your compliance department or superior officials before accepting the invitation.
