2.2 Contractual or pre-contractual obligations (Article 6 Paragraph 1b GDPR)
We process personal data, the provision of which is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party, or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures that take place in response to your request, e.g. via our website contact form. The purposes of the data processing depend on the specific contract (e.g. purchase contract, contract for work, delivery contract, employment contract) and may include, among other things, evaluations, advice as well as the implementation of further actions. If we offer events, we process your data for the planning, organisation and implementation of the events including event-related communication, for accommodation (e.g. in conference hotels), for the catering of participants and, if applicable, for the reimbursement of travel expenses. For digital events, we use online platforms such as Microsoft TEAMS, Moving Image, MeetYou or similar as described below.

Please note that we have no influence on Microsoft's data processing. Microsoft also processes your personal data in the USA. We have concluded EU standard contracts with Microsoft on Office 365 and Teams to ensure an appropriate level of data protection.
