4. Integration of external service providers

Linking with other services is a fundamental principle of the Internet. Therefore, we have integrated various external service providers into our website.

To offer you means of interacting with your contacts and more easily share interesting information, our website can use the social plug-ins of various social networks, e.g. Facebook.com, Twitter.com and Pinterest.com. The different plug-ins can be recognized by their respective network logos. We use a 2-click approach to ensure that access to our website as such will not trigger a transfer of data.

Only if you click on a plug-in, your browser will establish a direct connection with the servers of the respective network. The network transmits the content of the plug-in directly to your browser and your browser integrates such content into the website. To the extent, a network has its seat outside the EU/the EEA, we cannot exclude that your data will be transferred to and processed by a server outside the EU/the EEA. Since we have no influence on the amount of data collected by the networks through the plug-ins or the respective period of use, we hereby inform you according to our present knowledge:

When clicking on a plug-in, the respective network will receive the information that you have accessed the link included in our website. If you are logged into a network, such network can connect this information with your profile. If you do not want the network to collect information on your access to our website, you have to log out before calling up our site. In principle, however, it is possible that a network detects and stores your IP address, even if you are not registered with or logged into such network. Furthermore, we have no information regarding the deletion of data collected by the respective plug-in providers.

The plug-in provider will store the data collected about you as a user profile to be used for purposes of marketing, market research and the demand-oriented design of its website. In particular, this evaluation takes place (also for users not logged in) to display demand-oriented advertising and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website.

If a photo or video is intended for use in advertising purposes beyond those stated above, then you will be asked for your permission in each individual case. The same applies for the creation of any portraits or close-ups with you as the subject.

If you wish to revoke permission to use a photo or video, then please write to info@intradefairs.com or speak with a staff member at the entrance. The same applies if you wish to disallow us to use photos or videos for reporting purposes.

Photos/videos taken/recorded on the basis of legitimate interests (Art. 6, Section 1 f) will be stored in the Company archive for an unlimited period, for only in this way can we seamlessly document the company’s activities over time, also for purposes of preserving events of historical interest for posterity.

The party taking the photos or shooting the videos is not the Company, but rather third-party photographers commissioned to do so on our behalf and transfer the photos/videos to us at the end of each trade fair. Further information on the photographers commissioned by the Company can be requested at info@intradefairs.com. Relevant information is also available at info counters in the entrance lobbies.

b. Use of cookies for marketing purposes

We use cookies for marketing purposes, e.g. to display interest-based ads to the visitors of our website. In addition, these cookies are used to limit the frequency of display and evaluate the efficacy of ads. By tracking which websites are accessed and which products are clicked on, we can gather information about usage patterns and are thus able to display interest-based advertisements. The respective information will be shared with third parties. In such cases, the cookies will be set directly by our advertising partners.

The following cookies are set:

Facebook Ads Conversion Tracking

We use the online advertising program "Facebook Ads" and related conversion tracking. When you click on an ad placed by Facebook, a conversion tracking cookie will be placed on your computer. These cookies expire after a period of 30 days and are not used for personal identification. Without your consent, Facebook will not disclose your private personal information to advertisers. For example, advertisers will receive reports listing the number of users who have seen or clicked on an ad, but such reports do not contain information about who has seen or clicked on an ad. The reports only contain aggregated public or non-personal data. If you access certain of our webpages and the cookie has not yet expired, Facebook and we can tell that you clicked on the ad and were redirected to the respective page. Every Facebook Ads customer receives a different cookie, which ensures that cookies cannot be traced through the websites of Facebook Ads customers. The information collected via the conversion cookie is used to compile reports listing the number of users who have seen or clicked on an ad without providing information about who has seen or clicked on an ad. The reports only contain aggregated public or non-personal data. Moreover, Facebook supports the "Do Not Track (DNT)" option. If you activate the DNT option on your browser, Facebook will not match your account to browser-related information in order to display tailored ads to you. For further information on DNT and on how to enable this option on your browser, please see

Any further evaluation of the collected data lies within the responsibility of the service provider and is based on its respective data protection notice. Alternatively, you can go to

("Facebook"), facilitating the display of interest-based ads ("Facebook Ads") to users of our website when accessing the social network Facebook.

Twitter Ads conversion tracking

We use the online marketing program "Twitter Ads", including the conversion tracking function. When you click on an advertisement run by Twitter, a conversion tracking cookie will be placed on your computer. These cookies remain valid for a period of 30 days and do not serve the purpose of identifying individuals. Twitter will not transfer your private or personal information to advertising clients without your consent. Instead, advertising clients will e.g. receive reports containing details on how many users have viewed a certain ad or clicked on it, but not containing any information about who viewed or clicked on an ad. Such reports merely contain aggregated, public or non-personal data. If you call up a certain page of our website and the Twitter cookie is still valid, we can detect that you have clicked on the ad and that you were forwarded to such page. Each client of Twitter Ads obtains a different cookie; this ensures that cookies cannot be tracked via the websites of Twitter Ads clients. The information collected via the conversion cookie is used to compile reports containing details on how many users have viewed a certain ad or clicked on it, but not containing any information on who viewed or clicked on an ad. These reports merely contain aggregated, public or non-personal data. Moreover, Twitter supports the "Do Not Track (DNT") option. If you activate the DNT option on your browser, Twitter will not associate browser-related information with your account for the purpose of displaying personalized advertisements. For further information on DNT and on how you can activate this option on your browser, please refer to

https://optout.aboutads.info

The legal basis for the storage of the cookie is consent pursuant to Art. 6 [1] a GDPR. Any further evaluation of the collected data lies within the responsibility of the service provider and is based on its respective data protection notice.

Google Remarketing

In addition to AdWords tracking, we also use "Google Remarketing", a retargeting function that allows us to display interest-based advertisements beyond our own advertising space. With the help of this function, we can display our advertisements to you on other websites you visit based on the services / products you previously called up on our website. A "recognition" cookie stored on your browser allows Google to record your interest in certain products during your visit to our website and to display respective targeted advertisements on other websites you call up. According to Google, the data collected within the scope of remarketing will not be merged with any personal data about you stored by Google; in particular, remarketing data will be used in pseudonymized form.

We use this function for purposes of interest-based advertising and targeted promotion regarding our products. The legal basis for the storage of the cookie is consent pursuant to Art. 6 [1] a GDPR. Any further evaluation of the collected data lies within the responsibility of the service provider and is based on its respective data protection notice.

Google DoubleClick

This website uses the online marketing tool DoubleClick by Google. DoubleClick uses cookies to display relevant advertisements to users, to improve campaign performance reports, or to prevent that a user is shown the same ads more than once. Google uses a cookie ID to track which ads are placed via which browsers and can thus prevent that they are displayed more than once. In addition, DoubleClick may use cookie IDs to detect so-called conversions in relation to ad requests. For example, a user sees a DoubleClick ad and later, using the same browser, visits the advertiser's website to make a purchase. According to Google, DoubleClick cookies do not contain any personal information.

By implementing this tool, your browser will automatically establish a connection to a Google server. Please note that in this context data processings outside the European Union / the European Economic Area may occur. We have no influence on how the data is handled and further used by Google. The legal basis for the storage of the cookie is consent pursuant to Art. 6 [1] a GDPR. Any further evaluation of the collected data lies within the responsibility of the service provider and is based on its respective data protection notice.

AdForm

On our website we might use conversion tracking and retargeting technology provided by Adform A/S Wildersgade 10B, 1. Sal 1408 Copenhagen, Denmark ("Adform"). We use the technology to measure, track and, where necessary, optimize the effectiveness of the ads we place via Adform. An example of optimization is where we make changes so that users are not shown the same ads multiple times. To enable this, Adform places a cookie on your device as soon as you click on an ad (e.g. an advertising banner) placed via Adform. The cookie contains an ad ID and has a lifespan of 60 days, after which it expires. It does not contain any information (such as full IP address, first or last name, physical address, e-mail address, etc.) that can be used to identify you personally. The ad ID tells us which ad you clicked on in order to get to our website. The Company will not under any circumstances combine or match the ad ID with any of your personal data. The cookies used by this website do not contain any information that can be used to personally identify users.

Once your browser accepts an Adform cookie, it uses the conversion tracking tool to automatically establish a direct connection to the Adform server. We have no influence over what information Adform collects via the conversion tracking tool or how it is subsequently used. We therefore advise you that, to the best of our knowledge, whenever you access part of our website or click on one of our ads, the Adform cookie informs Adform that you have accessed that particular part of our website or clicked on that particular ad.

The use of retargeting technology enables us to show ads specifically to users of our website who have shown interest in our website and/or products on a previous occasion. With retargeting, ads are shown on the basis of a cookie-based analysis of previous user behavior. The cookies used are temporary cookies with a lifespan of 60 days.

If you do not wish to be shown targeted ads by Adform, you have the right to withdraw consent for (opt out of) the collection and storage of cookie data at any time

https://site.adform.com/privacy-center/platform-privacy/opt-out/

If you withdraw consent, no further data will be collected from that point on.

The legal basis for the processing of your personal data in relation to the Adform conversion tracking tool is Art. 6 [1] a GDPR. The legitimate interests in processing your data are the above-stated marketing and optimization purposes. The data that we collect and store is deleted as soon as it is no longer necessary for our purposes.

You will find further information on Adform’s privacy policy at

https://site.adform.com/privacy-center/platform-privacy/product-and-services-privacy-policy/

You have the right to withdraw consent for (opt out of) Adform data collection and processing at any time at

https://site.adform.com/privacy-center/platform-privacy/opt-out/

If you withdraw consent, no further data will be collected from that point on.

Legal basis:

Art. 6 [1] a GDPR

VII. Transfer of data to companies outside the EU/EEA

As explained in this data protection notice, the Company will in some cases transfer personal data to companies that are based in countries outside the EU/EEA, e.g. the transfer of contact data to subsidiaries and/or sales partners of the Company where visitors/companies are based abroad.

Where data is transferred to controllers outside the EU/EEA, the Company will provide for an adequate level of data protection by concluding EU model clauses, unless the exemptions of Art. 49 GDPR apply, or the EU commission has decided that the recipient country provides for an adequate level of data protection.
