DATA MINIMISATION
Please note that it is not necessary to enter your real name. For data minimisation purposes, we recommend the use of an alias and a non-individualised email address. However, the provision of a valid email address is required for the transmission of the link to participate in the seminar.
DATA TRANSFER TO THE USA
The collected data is also transferred to the USA for analysis purposes as part of the Webex Analytics services. The USA is an insecure third country in which there is no level of data protection comparable to EU standards. These deficits in the level of data protection cannot be compensated for in all cases by technical measures. There is therefore a risk that your personal data transmitted in this respect may be accessed by government agencies without you having effective legal protection against this. Please note our information on the possibility of data minimisation.
