II. General information about data processing
Scope of processing of personal data
As a rule, we acquire and use personal data of our users only to the extent this is necessary to provide a functioning website and our contents and services. Personal data of our users are normally only acquired and used after having obtained the user’s consent. An exception to this are cases in which the prior obtaining of such consent is not possible for factual reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by legal regulations.
Legal bases of the processing of personal data
The following legal bases exist for the processing of your personal data:
(1) Consent
(2) Performance of a contract or taking of steps prior to entering into a contract
(3) Legal obligation
(4) If processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and such interests are not overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject
Erasure and duration of storage of data
The personal data of the data subject will be erased or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies. Data may be stored for a longer period than that if erasure is prohibited due to a legal retention period, e.g., under the German Fiscal Code or the German Commercial Code. As a rule, we will store your data for ten years.

For this purpose, the user’s IP address needs to remain stored for the duration of the session. We will store the data until the end of a session and they will then be deleted automatically. As these data are absolutely necessary for the operation of the website, you as a user have no possibility to object to the processing.

Such third parties may include the following partners: Exhibition stand construction companies, transport companies, graphics bureaus, advertising agencies, printing companies.

VII. Rights of the data subject
You are a data subject and have the following rights vis-à-vis us:
(1) You can demand information about which personal data are stored, about the origin of these data and about the purpose for which they are stored. Likewise, we have to inform you if your data are transmitted to a third party. In that case, we have to inform you of the recipient’s identity or the categories of recipients.
(2) Should your personal data be inaccurate or incomplete, you may demand their rectification or completion.
(3) You can object to the processing of your personal data for advertising purposes. If you do, your data have to be blocked for these purposes.
(4) You have the right to request the restriction of processing where the accuracy of the personal data is contested by you, for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data, if the processing is unlawful and you oppose the erasure of the personal data and request the restriction of their use instead, if the controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing but they are required by you for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims or if you have objected to processing pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR pending the verification whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override yours.
(5) You can request that your data be erased. This is possible if there is no legal basis for the data processing or if that basis has ceased to exist. The same applies in the case the purpose of the data processing is no longer valid due to lapse of time or for any other reason. Please note that erasure may be prevented by existing mandatory retention periods or other legitimate interests that our company may have. We will gladly inform you of this upon your inquiry. Should we have made your data public, we are obliged to inform each recipient that you have requested the erasure of any links to, or copy of, those personal data.
(6) Moreover, you have the right to object if, on grounds relating to your particular situation, your legitimate interest overrides the interest in the processing. However, this does not apply where we are obliged to process the data due to any legal regulation.
(7) Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority if you consider that the processing of personal data relating to you infringes a data protection law regulation.
(8) You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you that you have provided to the controller in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format.
