2. What data do we process and for what purpose?
We
process personal data that we receive either from you yourself in the
course of our business relationship or from another legitimate source
(e.g. your employer, your professional association) insofar as they are
necessary for us to provide our services to you.
We process or use the types of personal data listed below for the following purposes
a) Participant administration
To implement our continuing training events or to provide e-learning or
other services we need your name and contact details (address, telephone
number, e-mail etc.) and information about your professional group in
order to admit you to a course and to ensure the smooth running of the
event. We register your participant and/or training details as necessary
either electronically or in printed form.
b) Publication in participant and check-in lists
For its events ERA draws up lists of participants and provides these to
participants within the framework of the event. They serve in particular
to promote professional networking and are part of the event
documentation. A list of participants must also be provided to the
European Commission for events (co-)funded by the Commission.
Usually a participant list contains:
- Title, first name and surname
- Professional title
- Employer
- Address (without telephone number)
You can object to the inclusion of your data in the list of participants
or specify that particular data should not be included in the list.
Should this be the case please contact us when registering your
participation, at the latest one week before the event takes place. For
EU-funded training projects this is not possible.
c) Use of your e-mail address for transmitting information
If you register to receive our newsletter or info-mails, we will use
your e-mail address to provide information about ERA until you cancel
your subscription. You will only receive regular information about our
training programmes in the areas of interest you specify and
occasionally e-mails relating to a specific event, for example an
invitation to the annual reception.
You can withdraw your consent for us to send you newsletters or info-mails with future effect at any time.
d) Other data processing (website)
The use of our website is generally possible without revealing any
personal data. Should personal data be collected on our pages (for
example name, address or e-mail address) this is purely voluntary and as
a rule only for the implementation of the services you have expressed
interest in and for further correspondence. You will find further
details in the annex relating to the website.
3. What is the legal basis for our processing of your data?
We process your data in line with the European General Data
Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the German Federal Data Protection Act
(BDSG):
a) Compliance with contractual obligations (Art. 6.1.(b) GDPR)
This relates to the processing of data for the purposes of providing
training or other services within the framework of our contracts with
participants, speakers, service providers etc. The nature and extent of
data processing depends on the specific purpose of the contract.
b) On the basis of your consent (Art. 6.1.(a) GDPR)
Consent to process personal data is required in particular to send you
information. Your consent can be withdrawn at any time. This includes
the withdrawal of any consent given before the coming into force of the
GDPR, i.e. 25 May 2018. Withdrawing consent does not affect the legality
of any data processing before this date.
c) If it is in the legitimate interests of ERA (Art. 6.1.(f) GDPR),
to comply with a legal obligation (Art. 6.1.(c) GDPR) or to perform a
task in the public interest (Art. 6.1.(e) GDPR)
For example, the recording or processing of personal data is permitted
in the form of closed circuit TV in the underground carpark to prevent
or investigate criminal offences, in order to assert or defend against
legal claims, for measures to develop our services or in order to comply
with business or fiscal obligations to maintain records.
4. Who has access to my data?
Within ERA only those units or persons who need your data to
conduct the business relationship or to provide the services you require
have access to them. Should ERA have recourse in this context to
external service providers, their access is strictly limited to what is
needed to fulfil the contract or to provide the service. Through
technical, organisational and legal measures we ensure that data
protection regulations are also adhered to by our external service
providers.
Insofar as external funders, in particular the European Union, make the
provision of funding for an event conditional on the receipt of
participant details, participation in such an event implies consent for
us to pass on your data; specific mention of this is made in the
application/registration form.
Under no circumstances do we pass on data to third parties for advertising purposes.
5. How long will my data be stored?
ERA processes and stores your personal data as long as this is
necessary for its contractual or legal obligations, or as long as we
have your consent.
6. Is data transferred to a third country?
Your data is processed exclusively within the EU.
7. What are my data protection rights?
Any affected person has the right of access (Article 15 GDPR), the
right to rectification (Article 16, GDPR), the right to erasure (Article
17 GDPR), the right to restrict processing (Article 18 GDPR), the right
to object (Article 21 GDPR) and the right to transfer their personal
data (Article 20 GDPR). Certain restrictions apply to the right of
access and the right to erasure (§§ 34, 35, BDSG).
8. Do I have an obligation to provide data?
Within the framework of our business relationship you must provide
the personal data necessary for us to conduct this relationship or that
we are legally obliged to collect.

The date of applicability of this data protection statement is
indicated above. ERA reserves the right to amend this statement at any
time with future effect. The currently applicable version can always be
