In addition, we would like to inform you about the legal basis for the processing of your data and, where the processing is necessary for the purposes of our legitimate interests, also about our legitimate interests.

1. Information about the processing of your data

Certain information will be processed automatically as soon as you are using the App. Please find below a list of the specific personal data which are processed:

  1. Information collected during the download
    When you are downloading the App, certain necessary information is transmitted to your app store (e.g. Google Play or Apple App Store); especially the user name, the email address, the customer number of your account, the time of the download, payment information and the unique device identifier may be processed in this context. The processing of this data is exclusively performed by the respective app store and is beyond our control.
  2. Automatically collected information
    In the context of your use of the App, we automatically collect certain data that are necessary for the use of the App. These data include: internal device ID, operating system version, time and country of App access.

    These data are automatically transmitted to us, but not stored, in order to (1) enable us to provide the service and the associated functionalities to you; (2) improve the functionalities and performance features of the App, and (3) prevent and eliminate any abuse and malfunctions. This data processing is justified due to the fact that (1) the processing is necessary for the performance of the contract between you, as the data subject, and us pursuant to point (b) of Art. 6(1) GDPR for the use of the App, or (2) we have legitimate interest in guaranteeing the functioning and the error-free operation of the App and in being able to offer a service meeting the demand of the market and in line with the interests, which overrides your rights and interests regarding the protection of your personal data within the scope of point (f) of Art. 6(1) GDPR.
  3. Use of the App
    When you are using our App, you have the option to enter, manage and edit various information, tasks and activities (so-called user data). This information includes in particular data for your trade fair visit such as the location map, machine overview with technical data and videos regarding all the machines, QR code scanner, optional push notifications.

    In addition, we use "Google Firebase" for analyzing and categorizing user groups and for the optional provision of push notifications. Further information regarding the privacy policy of "Google Firebase" is available at https://firebase.google.com/support/privacy.

    In addition, the App requires the following permissions:
  • Internet access: required in order to retrieve product information from our event website as well as the trade fair program and other content pages from the Contentful CMS. Both systems as such do not receive any data and are not used for storing user data.
  • Camera access: required in order to allow you to use the QR code scanner during the trade fair visit, in order to obtain additional information on each machine inside the App.

All the above described data processing is justified due to the fact that (1) the processing is necessary for the performance of the contract between you, as the data subject, and us pursuant to point (b) of Art. 6(1) GDPR for the use of the App, or (2) we have legitimate interest in guaranteeing the functioning and the error-free operation of the App, which overrides your rights and interests regarding the protection of your personal data within the scope of point (f) of Art. 6(1) GDPR.

2. Disclosure and transfer of data

Apart from the occasions expressly specified in this Privacy Policy, a disclosure of your personal data without your express prior consent will only take place if it is legally permissible and/or necessary.

  2. If necessary for the investigation of unlawful and/or abusive App use or for the establishment of rights, personal data will be transferred to the law enforcement authorities or other authorities as well as, if applicable, to harmed third parties or legal advisers. However, such a transfer will only take place if there are indications suggesting unlawful and/or abusive conduct. Personal data may also be disclosed if such disclosure serves the purpose of enforcing terms of use or other legal claims. In addition, we are required by law to provide, upon request, information to certain public bodies. These bodies are law enforcement authorities, authorities prosecuting administrative offenses subject to a fine, and the fiscal authorities.

    A potential disclosure of personal data is justified due to the fact that (1) the processing is necessary for the fulfillment of a legal obligation that we are subject to pursuant to point (f) of Art. 6(1) GDPR in conjunction with national legal provisions regarding the disclosure of data to law enforcement authorities; or (2) if there are indications of abusive conduct or if we seek to enforce our terms of use, other conditions or legal claims, we have a legitimate interest in disclosing the data to said third parties and your rights and interests with regard to the protection of your personal data are not overriding within the scope of point (f) of Art. 6(1) GDPR.

  4. In the context of the further development of our business, the structure of our company might change such that the legal form might be changed, subsidiaries, divisions and parts of the company might be established, purchased or sold. In case of such transactions, the customer information might be transferred along with the part of the company to be transferred. We will ensure in any case of disclosure of personal data to third parties in the above described scope, that such disclosure is performed in accordance with this Privacy Policy and applicable data protection law.
