Data processing 

§ 26 Profoc undertakes to comply with the legal provisions on data protection. The following provisions apply in addition to the provisions regulated in our privacy policy.

§ 27 By participating in Profoc events, you agree that your registration data may be viewed by the organization team and processed exclusively in the context of Profoc events. In the context of the event, lists may be created that contain the following information: Name and contact details (for example mail address or telephone number) of participants, program contributors and guests. These lists can be

(a) be freely available at the event to all persons participating in the event; and

(b) if required, be made available to participants, program contributors and guests at the event solely for the purpose of the event. There will be no disclosure of the data to third parties. 

§ 28 As previously described, personal data are collected and processed in particular for participation in the conference or other events to which the data subject is a contracting party, or for the performance of pre-contractual measures taken at the request of the data subject. The provision of personal data is therefore contractually required for this purpose. If you do not provide us with personal data, this will have the consequence that participation in events organized by Profoc cannot be guaranteed.

Use of photographic, video and audio material 

§ 29 By registering as well as participating in events organized by Profoc (includes participants, program contributors, guests, members of the organizing team as well as external media representatives*) or entering the event premises, you agree that photographic, video and audio material may be taken of you during the event. You also grant the necessary rights to publish and store these images, videos and sound recordings for Profoc purposes, including in particular for marketing purposes, on our own website, our official social media channels (Twitter, Facebook and Instagram), our YouTube channel (also possible as a livestream) and on promotional materials as well as on third-party websites and social media channels (for example, of external media representatives, guests, program contributors, participants or team members of Profoc). This also applies if you provide text contributions as well as photo, video and sound recordings to Profoc, in particular you thereby transfer the full rights for further use.

Revocation

§ 30 Consent to these GTC is voluntary. However, failure to give or revocation of consent cannot guarantee participation in the conference or other events. Consent may be revoked in whole or in part at any time. The revocation is only valid with effect for the future.
