bioMCC Data Privacy Statement according to the EU-DSGVO

Data Privacy Statement (PDF)

July 2018

________________________________________

The protection of personal data is very important to bioMCC. We observe the national and international guidelines EU-DSGVO regarding data protection and would like you to know when we save which items of data and how we use them. We reserve the right to modify our data protection provisions occasionally in order to ensure that they always comply with the current statutory requirements, or in order to implement changes in our services in the data privacy statement.

1. Personal data
Personal data means all information regarding personal and material circumstances related to a specific identified or identifiable natural person. This includes information such as name, address, telephone number and e-mail address, the kind of services used. Information that cannot be directly associated with your actual identity, such as the length of time spent on the website or the number of users of the website, can likewise be data that can allow a person to be identified. We collect your personal data for various reasons, such as to process service requests, to communicate with you, or to organize workshops and events.

2. Data collection and storage
When you use one of our contact forms, registration of interest, meeting and training course registration forms, or when you register for our newsletters, we require you to provide certain data, such as name, postal address, or e-mail address. We use these personal data exclusively for the purposes described in section 4 of this data privacy statement. Personal data is not passed on to third parties except when we are authorized or obligated to do so by law (e.g. for contractual or criminal law enforcement purposes) or when this is explicitly indicated in section 4 below. In this case, we follow the principle of data minimization. It may be possible for unknown parties to read unencrypted e-mails that you send us during their transport. Where appropriate, use other means of communication (telephone, encrypted e-mail or contact forms). You have choices about the data we collect. When you are asked to provide personal data, you may decline. But if you choose not to provide data that is necessary to provide a service or feature, you may not be able to use that service or feature.

3. Data transfer
Your personal data will only be transferred in those cases necessitated by law, for example, to government agencies and public authorities for law enforcement resulting from attacks on our network infrastructure. Data will not be passed on to third parties for other purposes unless they are explicitly stated in section 4 of this data privacy statement.

4. Data policy for the different bioMCC services
The personal data we collect, store, share, or publicly display depend on the resources, services and features you use. In general, we use the data to communicate with you, e.g. for answering general enquiries, performance of a contract or order, sending service status updates, and informing about bioMCC activities, workshops or events. Data is also used for preparing benchmarking reports to e.g. monitor the number of website visits relating to emailing orders. This data helps us to diagnose problems, and to improve our services. We share your personal data with bioMCC partners only relating to the fulfillment of the obligations stated in the contract or order between you and bioMCC. The bioMCC partners listed below have access to the data by inclusion in e-mail notifications or via databases on the partners’ own servers.

4a. Meetings, workshops and training courses – Conftool GmbH
When organizing meetings and training courses, bioMCC provides for registration and all related functions for attending the meetings Conftool Congress Management Tool, which runs all data on its own https servers. Conftool’s data processing is compliant to Art. 6 (1) (b) DSGVO, which allows the processing of data to fulfill a contract or for measures preliminary to a contract. Registration data is deleted from the meeting database six months after the event. However, the participant's name and affiliation, as well as photographs taken or movies recorded at the meeting or training courses, may be published on the part of the bioMCC webpage as part of the meeting results. To keep users informed about bioMCC activities, events or services they might want to use in the future, e-mail addresses are added to the bioMCC contact list (see newsletter service below).
