Hosting
We host the content of our website with the following provider:
Externes Hosting
The provider is Webflow, Inc., 398 11th Street, 2nd Floor, San Francisco, CA 94103, USA (“Webflow”).
When you visit our website, Webflow collects various log files, including your IP address.
Webflow is a tool for creating and hosting websites. Webflow stores cookies and other recognition technologies required for displaying the website, providing certain website functions, and ensuring security (necessary cookies).
For details, please refer to Webflow’s privacy policy:
https://webflow.com/legal/eu-privacy-policy
The use of Webflow is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. We have a legitimate interest in ensuring the most reliable presentation of our website possible.
If corresponding consent has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TTDSG, insofar as consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information on the user’s device (e.g. device fingerprinting). Consent may be revoked at any time.
Data transfer to the USA is based on the EU Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses. Details can be found here:
https://webflow.com/legal/eu-privacy-policy
Data Processing Agreement
We have concluded a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) with the above-mentioned provider. This is a legally required contract that ensures personal data of our website visitors is processed only according to our instructions and in compliance with GDPR.
Why We Chose Webflow:
Unlike traditional systems, Webflow provides a closed and highly secure ecosystem. This eliminates security risks caused by outdated third-party plugins.
Webflow is ISO 27001 certified (international standard for information security) and offers extremely high reliability and modern SSL encryption through its integrated Content Delivery Network (CDN).
Data Protection Guarantee:
We have concluded a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) with Webflow based on the EU Standard Contractual Clauses. This ensures that Webflow processes user data only according to our instructions and in compliance with EU data protection standards.
Additionally, visitor IP addresses are anonymized by default.
Cloudflare (CDN)
Webflow technically uses Cloudflare to securely and efficiently deliver website content (e.g. SSL encryption and protection against DDoS attacks). Technically, requests from your browser are routed through Cloudflare’s infrastructure. Log files (including your IP address) may be transferred to Cloudflare servers.
- Purpose: Use is based on our legitimate interest in the secure and high-performance provision of our online services and protection against malicious attacks (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
- Data Transfer: Since Cloudflare is a US provider, data transfer is based on the EU Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses. Cloudflare is also certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework.
- Security: Cloudflare stores data only as long as necessary to provide the service.
Further information can be found in Cloudflare’s privacy policy:
https://www.cloudflare.com/privacy
In this context, a technically necessary cookie named _cfuvid is set.
- Purpose: This cookie is used for “rate limiting.” It helps distinguish individual visitors behind a shared IP address (e.g. in company networks or VPNs) in order to apply security rules individually and prevent website overload caused by excessive requests.
- Cookie Type: This is a strictly necessary (essential) cookie. It is not used for analytics or marketing purposes, but solely for the secure and smooth operation of the website.
- Storage Duration: The cookie is deleted at the end of the browser session (session cookie).
- Legal Basis: Processing is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. We have a legitimate interest in the security and stability of our website.
Event Registration & Payment Processing (Stripe)
For event registrations and secure payment processing of participation fees, we use the payment service provider Stripe. The provider is Stripe Payments Europe, Ltd., 1 Grand Canal Street Lower, Grand Canal Dock, Dublin, Ireland.
Maximum Security for Your Data: Payments are processed through a secure interface. Your payment data (e.g. credit card number) is never stored on our servers or by Webflow, but is transmitted directly to Stripe in encrypted form.
Stripe is certified according to the strict PCI-DSS Level 1 standard — the highest security standard in the payment industry.
Legal basis: Your data is processed on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (performance of a contract for participation in the event).

General Information on Legal Bases for Data Processing
If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR.
If you have consented to the storage of cookies or access to information on your device (e.g. via device fingerprinting), processing is additionally based on Section 25(1) TDDDG.
Consent may be revoked at any time.
If your data is required for the performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.
We also process your data where necessary to fulfill a legal obligation pursuant to Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR.
Processing may also take place on the basis of our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.
The relevant legal basis applicable in each individual case is explained in the following sections of this privacy policy.
Recipients of Personal Data
As part of our business activities, we cooperate with various external parties. In some cases, it is also necessary to transfer personal data to these external parties.
We only disclose personal data to external parties if this is necessary for the performance of a contract, if we are legally obliged to do so (e.g. disclosure of data to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR in the disclosure, or if another legal basis permits the transfer of data.
When using data processors, we disclose personal data of our customers only on the basis of a valid Data Processing Agreement. In the case of joint processing, a joint processing agreement is concluded.
Revocation of Your Consent to Data Processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You may revoke any consent already given at any time. The legality of data processing carried out before the revocation remains unaffected.
Right to Lodge a Complaint with the Competent Supervisory Authority
In case of violations of the GDPR, affected persons have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, particularly in the Member State of their habitual residence, place of work, or the place of the alleged violation.
The right to lodge a complaint exists without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedies.
Right to Data Portability
You have the right to receive data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract in a commonly used, machine-readable format, either for yourself or for transfer to a third party.
If you request the direct transfer of data to another controller, this will only be done insofar as technically feasible.
Access, Rectification, and Deletion
Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to obtain free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of the data processing. You may also have a right to rectification or deletion of this data.
You may contact us at any time regarding this or any further questions on the subject of personal data.
Right to Restriction of Processing
You have the right to request the restriction of processing of your personal data. You may contact us at any time regarding this matter.
The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:
- If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we generally require time to verify this. During the verification period, you have the right to request restriction of processing of your personal data.
- If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you may request restriction of processing instead of deletion.
- If we no longer need your personal data, but you require it for the exercise, defense, or assertion of legal claims, you have the right to request restriction of processing instead of deletion.
- If you have objected pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balancing of interests between your interests and ours must be carried out. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request restriction of processing of your personal data.
If processing of your personal data has been restricted, such data — apart from storage — may only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.
