Training

(in accordance with your legally binding registration Art. 6 (1) b) GDPR and on the basis of our legitimate interests Art. 6 (1) f) GDPR)

In order to prepare and conduct a training class and, if necessary, to document it, personal data will be processed on the basis of your legally binding registration. Based on our legitimate interest and in order to carry out follow-up work, e.g. for the evaluation of trainings or for follow-up information about thematically similar (follow-up) events and event-relevant publications, personal data will also be processed. This is also done to improve the quality of our training classes. In alignment with our public relations strategy, we may also process image and video recordings and publish them on our website. This is done on the basis of our legitimate economic interests. You will be informed of this separately with each registration and must provide us with your consent. You have the right to object to the use of your data and have the right to withdraw your consent.

The stored data includes your personal information (name, title, form of address, etc.), your contact details, event information, the legal basis for data storage and, if applicable, image and video recordings.

Some of our training classes are also offered as live webinars. This will be explicitly communicated to you when you register for a training class. Accordingly, the respective regulations of the "MES Webinars", "MES Live Webinars" and "MES On Demand Webinars", which you will find below, also apply.

Training participants agree to be contacted and agree to have their data stored for the preparation, implementation, follow-up, and documentation of the training classes. If no further contact is made with our company, your personal data will be deleted from the database after 36 months with a processing period of up to three (3) months, or in individual cases, after verification. For documentation purposes vis-à-vis the public authorities and in accordance with the legal data protection requirements, event documents are retained for a period of ten (10) years.

MES Webinars

(in accordance with your consent granted according to Art. 6 (1) a) GDPR) and your legally binding registration Art. 6 (1) b) GDPR)

MES' Live Webinars

We use Cisco WebEx Meeting Center for the streaming and registration management of the MES Webinar Series. The data entered during registration is stored in the Cisco WebEx Meeting Center and is transferred to the MES customer database (Projektron BCS) and processed for the corresponding purposes. Please note that Cisco WebEx Meeting stores your IP address. However, we do not store this information in our CRM program or in any other way. We are therefore unable to respond to any request for information from you regarding your IP address. For more information, please refer to the Cisco WebEx Meeting Center privacy statement:
https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/about/legal/privacy-full.html

Webinar participants agree to be contacted and to have their data stored for the preparation, execution, follow-up, and documentation of the webinars. If no further contact is made with our company, your personal data will be deleted from the database after 36 months with a processing period of up to three (3) months, or in individual cases, after verification.

MES’ On-Demand Webinars

In order to view our on-demand webinars, we collect the contact data you entered in the form and transfer it to our customer database (Projektron BCS). By entering your data, you give us your consent to transfer and process this data.

Surveys and Evaluation Forms

(in accordance with our legitimate interests to fulfil our business purposes according to Art. 6 (1) f) GDPR and your consent according to Art. 6 (1) a) GDPR)

We use customer surveys and online or print evaluation forms in order to improve the quality and to measure the effectiveness of our events, webinars, training classes or similar. The questions mentioned in the surveys/evaluation forms and corresponding answers are collected and processed. This data is used for analysis and statistics. In the case of certain surveys/evaluations, the data is immediately anonymized. A request for information is not possible in the case of anonymous surveys/evaluations, as the data collected cannot be traced to a survey respondent and/or the person requesting information in any way.

If the surveys/evaluations are not completely anonymized, the persons participating in the survey will be expressly informed of this in advance. The legal basis for processing this data rests on your active consent to participate in our surveys or evaluation forms. The data collected will be treated with appropriate sensitivity and confidentiality. If there is no longer a legal basis to collect or process the data and the data is not anonymized, it will be deleted immediately. Print copies will be shredded or otherwise destroyed immediately.

Evaluation requests from customers are entered into our CRM program (Projektron BCS) and are only carried out on request or due to purchase orders or commissions. Article (Art. 6 lit. b) of the GDPR is the legal basis for data processing in this case.

Regarding surveys and evaluations conducted via Cisco WebEx Meeting, the corresponding data protection provisions of the third-party provider apply. As in the case of webinars, the data is also taken from MES to carry out a survey or evaluation and stored anonymously. Please note that Cisco WebEx Meeting stores your IP address. However, we do not store this information in our CRM program or in any other way, shape or form. We are therefore unable to respond to any request for information from you regarding your IP address. For more information, please refer to the Cisco WebEx Meeting Center privacy statement:

YouTube

When a webpage with an integrated YouTube plugin is accessed and you activate the corresponding content, your browser creates a direct connection with YouTube's servers. This tells YouTube which of our pages you have visited.

If you are logged in to YouTube as a member, YouTube can directly assign your browsing behavior to your personal profile. You are able to prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.

YouTube is used to help make the services and video content offered on our website appealing.

Cookies

Our website uses cookies. Cookies are small text files that your web browser stores on your end device, such as a PC, smartphone, laptop, etc. Cookies help us to make our offers more user-friendly, more effective, and safer.

The setting of cookies, which are necessary for our technical operation, electronic communication processes or providing the services you, as the user, require (e.g. shopping cart), is carried out on the legal basis mentioned above. As operators of this website, we have a legitimate interest in the storage of cookies to ensure the technical, error-free, and smooth provision of our services. If other cookies are set (e.g. for analysis functions), these will be treated separately in this data protection declaration.

Google Analytics

(in accordance with our legitimate interests to fulfil our business purposes according to Art. 6 (1) f) GDPR)

We use Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

Google Analytics uses "cookies." These are small text files that your web browser stores on your end device that enable an analysis of your use of our website. The information generated by these cookies about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. Servers are usually located in the USA.

The setting of Google Analytics cookies is based on the legal basis mentioned above. As the operator of this website, we have a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior in order to optimize both our website and, if necessary, advertising.

IP Anonymization

We use Google Analytics in conjunction with the IP anonymization function. This function ensures that Google truncates (shortens) your IP address within member states of the European Union or in other contracting member states to the agreement on the European Economic Area before sending, or transmitting, it to the USA. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be sent to a Google server in the US and shortened there. On our behalf, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to create reports on website activities and to provide us with further services related to website activity and internet usage. The IP address provided by Google Analytics is not merged with other Google data.

Browser Plugin

You can prevent the setting of cookies by your web browser. However, some functions of our website could be restricted as a result. Likewise, you can prevent Google from collecting data regarding your website usage, including your IP address, and you can prevent Google from processing this data. This is possible by downloading and installing the browser plugin via the following link:

Data and Order Processing

Google Tag Manager

(in accordance with our legitimate interests to fulfil our business purposes according to Art. 6 (1) f) GDPR)

The Google Tag Manager is a tag management system and supports the evaluation and optimization of our website. This system adjusts the tracking codes via browser-based interfaces. An asynchronous JavaScript snippet with a unique ID is embedded on the website. Rules and tags are defined in containers. Tags are code elements and snippets that are available by default (also from third parties) or that can be created by the responsible persons themselves. Rules control when certain tags should be triggered or when certain tags should not be triggered.

The Google Tag Manager triggers other tags, but cannot access data about the users of this website. Since no cookies are stored, we cannot and do not process any personal data.

A request for information is not possible here, as no conclusions can be drawn between the data collected and the person requesting information.

Further information about the Google Tag Manager and Google's privacy policy can be found on Google’s website:

Google AdWords and Google Conversion Tracking

(in accordance with our legitimate interests to fulfil our business purposes according to Art. 6 (1) f) GDPR)

Our website uses Google AdWords. The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

Google AdWords is an online advertising program. As part of the online advertising program, we use conversion tracking. After an ad placed by Google is clicked on, a cookie is set for conversion tracking. Cookies are small text files that your web browser stores on your device. Google AdWords cookies expire after 30 days and are not used to personally identify users. The cookie enables Google and us to recognize that you have clicked on an ad and been redirected to our website.

Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. The cookies are not trackable through websites of AdWords customers. Conversion cookies are used to generate conversion statistics for AdWords customers who use conversion tracking. AdWords customers learn how many users clicked on their ad and were redirected to pages with conversion tracking tags. However, AdWords' customers do not receive any information that allows users to be personally identified. If you do not want to participate in tracking, you can object to it. In this case, the conversion cookie must be deactivated in the user settings of your browser. This will prevent you from being included in the conversion tracking statistics.

The "conversion cookies" are stored due to the legal basis mentioned above. As the operators of this website, we have a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior in order to optimize our website and our advertising.

More details and information regarding Google AdWords and Google Conversion Tracking can be found in the Google’s privacy policy: https://www.google.de/policies/privacy/.

With a modern web browser you can monitor, restrict or prevent the setting of cookies. Please note that deactivating cookies may limit the functionality of our website.

The use of these web fonts makes a uniform presentation of our website possible, regardless of which fonts are used or are available locally. To do this, the corresponding fonts from Google servers are loaded into the cache of your web browser. This tells Google that our website has been accessed using your IP address. The use of Google Web Fonts takes place on the legal basis mentioned above. As operators of this website, we have a legitimate interest in the optimal presentation and transmission of our web presence.

LinkedIn Insight Tag

(in accordance with our legitimate interests to fulfil our business purposes according to Art. 6 (1) f) GDPR)

The LinkedIn Insight Tag is used to create usage analyses regarding our website and to optimize our digital offers and services. We use the LinkedIn Insight Tag to track conversions, retarget website visitors, and unlock additional insights about members interacting with our LinkedIn adverts.

LinkedIn does not share any personally identifiable information with us. LinkedIn only provides us with campaign reports about our website visitors and our advertising campaign performance, which do not identify individuals.

LinkedIn enables the collection of metadata such as your URL, IP address, device, browser characteristics, and timestamps to provide its services. The IP addresses are truncated or hashed. The direct identifiers are removed within seven (7) days to pseudonymize the data. The remaining data is then deleted within 180 days.

There is no claim to correction, information or deletion, as we only receive anonymized data and no reference can be made to the person requesting information.

You can read more about LinkedIn's privacy policy here:
https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy

Some of the information and data that members of this group share with us on the LinkedIn platform is stored in our contact management system (Projektron BCS).

Similarly, the responses of the respective person to the surveys asked for are stored, analyzed, and evaluated. The results of these surveys are then anonymized and published on our website. Personal data is not passed on to external persons or other members. Furthermore, our regulations regarding evaluation forms and surveys apply.

A request for information is not possible if the data has already been made completely anonymous, as no conclusions can be drawn between the data collected and the person requesting information.

As far as the surveys have not been made completely anonymous, the persons participating in the survey will be actively informed in advance (when registering with MGIGroup, but at the latest for each individual survey). The legal basis is ensured through the active consent to participate in the survey. The data collected will be treated with appropriate sensitivity and confidentiality. If there is no longer a legal basis to collect or process the data and the data is not anonymized, it will be deleted immediately. Print copies will be destroyed immediately.
