In the case of invitations from exhibitors: Since the costs for the trade visitor's admission to the trade fair are borne by the respective inviting exhibitor, the data on the completed ticket registration will be forwarded to the exhibitor who sent the invitation (master data and voluntary information). Data will only be forwarded with your express consent if the inviting exhibitor has its registered office in a country outside the scope of the GDPR for which the EU Commission has not established an adequate level of data protection pursuant to Art. 45 of the GDPR and for which there are no guarantees pursuant to Art. 46 of the GDPR.

In this context, there is the possibility that the exhibitor has its registered office outside the scope of the GDPR or that there is no adequacy decision on data protection of the EU Commission pursuant to Art. 45 GDPR / no guarantee pursuant to Art. 46 GDPR.
In this case, there are possible risks to the use of your data as follows: Your personal data could possibly be processed beyond the actual purpose and obtained by third parties and you might not be able to implement your rights of access in a sustainable manner.

You have the right to revoke your data protection declaration of consent at any time. Revocation of your consent does not affect the legality of the processing that has taken place on the basis of your consent until revocation.
9. Automated decision in individual cases including profiling
You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing - including profiling - which has legal effect on you or which significantly affects you in a similar way. This shall not apply if the decision
1. is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between you and us
2. is permissible under the law of the Union or of a Member State to which we are subject and that law provides for appropriate measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests; or
3. with your express consent.
However, these decisions may not be based on special categories of personal data according to Art. 9 §1 GDPR, unless Art. 9 § 2 lit. a or g GDPR applies and appropriate measures have been taken to protect the rights and freedoms as well as your legitimate interests.
With regard to the cases mentioned in point 18.9.1 nos. 1 and 3 (cf. art. 22 § 2 lit. a. and c. GDPR), we will take appropriate measures to protect your rights and freedoms as well as your legitimate interests, including at least the right to obtain the intervention of a person on the part of the responsible person, to present your own point of view and to contest the decision.
10. Right to appeal to a supervisory authority
Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State in which you are resident, your place of work or the place of the alleged infringement, if you consider that the processing of personal data concerning you is in breach of the DPA. The supervisory authority to which the complaint has been lodged shall inform the complainant of the status and the results of the complaint, including the possibility of a legal remedy under Art. 78 GDPR..
(1) Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for processing of personal data, Art. 6 § 1 letter a GDPR serves as the legal basis.
(2) Art. 6 § 1 letter b GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing of personal data required for the performance of a contract to which you are a party. This also applies to processing operations which are necessary for the performance of pre-contractual measures.
(3) Insofar as the processing of personal data is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation to which we are subject, Art. 6 § 1 lit. c GDPR serves as the legal basis.
(4) In the event that vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person make it necessary to process personal data, Art. 6 § 1 lit. d GDPR shall serve as the legal basis.
(5) If the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of ours or of a third party and if the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the former interests, Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing. Our legitimate interest is to offer our services.
