The controller responsible for personal data processing on this website is TEDxTUDarmstadt e.V., Ali Danache, c/o Mohammed Moussaoui, Karolinenplatz 5 , TU Darmstadt Postfach 1096, 64289 Darmstadt.

You can contact us about privacy matters by email at info@tedxtudarmstadt.com.

We process personal data only where this is necessary to operate the website, respond to your request, send our newsletter, or improve our online offering.

If you use a form or subscribe to our newsletter, we process the information you voluntarily provide, such as name, email address, subject, message, and other details related to your request.

We may also process technically necessary usage and device information where this is required to provide the website securely or to remember your cookie and consent choices.

We use your information to answer messages, review applications or proposals, handle partnership inquiries, and provide the newsletter.

Depending on the situation, processing is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR, Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR, or your consent under Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR.

You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time using the unsubscribe link in each newsletter email or by contacting us.

Our website uses necessary cookies or local storage information to provide basic functions and remember your cookie choices.

The optional Analytics and performance category is activated only if you allow it in the cookie banner. You can change your choice at any time through the cookie settings in the site footer.

Optional analytics and performance measurement help us understand which pages are used and how reliably the website performs. We use this information to improve content and technical performance.

Some pages may contain embedded videos or other external content. We generally load such content only when you start playback or display. The respective platform provider may then process its own data.

Our website also links to external platforms such as Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube, Facebook, WhatsApp, or Discord. If you open these links, the privacy information of the respective provider applies.

This website uses Google Analytics 4, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Google Ireland Limited is the provider for users in the European Economic Area; data may additionally be processed by Google LLC in the United States.

Google Analytics is loaded only after your explicit consent. The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR together with Section 25 (1) TDDDG (formerly TTDSG). As long as you do not enable the Analytics and performance category, no Google script is loaded and no analytics cookies are set.

With your consent, Google Analytics sets cookies, including _ga and _ga_ followed by the data stream identifier. The data processed includes the pages you visit, time spent, referring page, approximate location derived from a truncated IP address, and device and browser information. Google Analytics 4 truncates IP addresses before storing them.

We use the resulting reports only in aggregated form to improve content and technical performance. We do not use advertising features such as Google signals, remarketing, or cross-device joining; advertising consent signals remain permanently denied and no advertising cookies are set.

Any transfer to the United States relies on the European Commission adequacy decision for the EU-US Data Privacy Framework of 10 July 2023, under which Google LLC is certified, supplemented by standard contractual clauses.

Usage and event data collected in Google Analytics is deleted automatically after 14 months.

You can withdraw your consent at any time through the cookie settings in the site footer. After a withdrawal, Google Analytics is disabled immediately and the associated cookies are deleted. Further information is available in the Google privacy policy at https://policies.google.com/privacy.

We use Eventbrite for ticket sales. The checkout widget supplied by Eventbrite, Inc. is loaded only after you choose to open checkout on the ticket page. If embedded checkout is unavailable, you are redirected to the corresponding Eventbrite event page.

This may transmit technically necessary connection and device information, such as your IP address, browser information, and the page requested, to Eventbrite. If you order a ticket, Eventbrite also processes the contact, order, and payment information you enter to complete and administer the booking.

Processing required to take steps toward and perform the ticket contract is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR. Technically necessary access is governed by Section 25 (2) TDDDG. Details about Eventbrite's processing, cookies, and possible international data transfers are available in Eventbrite's privacy and cookie notices at https://www.eventbrite.com/help/en-us/articles/460838/eventbrite-privacy-policy/ and https://www.eventbrite.com/help/en-us/articles/666792/eventbrite-cookie-policy/.

We use carefully selected technical and organizational service providers, especially for hosting, security, email delivery, newsletter management, analytics, media delivery, and content management.

These providers may process personal data only where required for their respective task. Where providers process data outside the European Union or European Economic Area, we rely on appropriate safeguards or a statutory exception.

We store personal data only for as long as necessary for the relevant purpose. Afterwards, we delete or anonymize the data unless statutory retention duties or legitimate interests require longer storage.

Newsletter data is stored until you unsubscribe or the processing otherwise ends.

Under the GDPR, you have the right to request access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability, and objection to certain processing activities.

Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time with future effect.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority. In particular, you may contact the supervisory authority of the federal state in which our association is based.

We update this privacy policy when our website, services, or legal requirements change. The version published on this website applies.
