We may occasionally share certain personal information with strategic partners (service providers or other third parties) who work with us to provide our services and products or to comply with a legal requirement.

In the context of events, we also share personal data (e.g. interest profile) for legitimate interest with third-party providers participating in the event for marketing purposes and bring together participants and these third-party providers. In each case, we obtain your consent for this.

• In addition, exhibitors at the congress will be offered a lead tracking service that allows individual exhibitors to scan the barcode on your admission ticket to receive your contact information, similar to a business card. These are in detail: Company name, title, first and last name, function, postal address, country, telephone number(s), email address, as well as any other information you may have provided about interests and/or your company.
• In individual cases, you can make a concrete decision about the transfer of your data by offering the respective exhibitor your admission ticket for scanning. Unnoticed data collection without your participation will not take place.
• In line with the international nature of the trade fair (or congress), exhibitors are also represented who are based outside the European Union and therefore outside the scope of European data protection laws. Here, too, you can object or consent to the transfer of your data in individual cases by withdrawing or offering your admission ticket for scanning.
