Data protection provisions
General considerations: The Deutsche Bundesbank attaches great importance to protecting your personal data and maintaining your privacy. The following information outlines how we collect and use personal data on our online event websites.
Data collection, processing, use and possible disclosure of personal data to third parties
Data submitted in email queries are used only to respond to such queries and are stored for a maximum of two years after processing has been completed.
When you sign up for an event via online registration, your data are processed solely for this purpose and are erased two years after the event has taken place. Your data will only be stored beyond this date at your explicit request. For organisational reasons, your data may be passed on to third parties, e.g. for the purposes of using the online registration system or for identification purposes during security checks by the Federal Police before entering Bundesbank premises. Any such third parties are of course also required to comply with the relevant data protection provisions. Irrespective of the above, you are entitled at any time to request the erasure of your data.
We do not disclose your data to third parties without your express consent unless this is required by law, owing to a court decision, or in connection with legal or criminal proceedings following an attack on the Bundesbank’s internet infrastructure. Data are not disclosed for other non-commercial or commercial purposes.
