Personal information is any data with which you could be personally identified. This privacy policy explains what information we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this happens.</p> <p>Please note that data transmitted via the internet (e.g. via email communication) may be subject to security breaches. Complete protection of your data from third-party access is not possible.</p> <h3>Notice Concerning the Party Responsible for this Website</h3> <p>The party responsible for processing data on this website is:</p> <p>ConfTool GmbH<br> Hochrad 58<br> 22605 Hamburg<br> Germany</p> <p>Telephone: +49 40 20227297<br> Email: <a href="#" data-mailto-token="kygjrm8gldmYamldrmmj,lcr" data-mailto-vector="-2">info<span style="color:#600000">@</span>conftool<span style="color:#000080">.</span>net</a></p> <p>The responsible party is the natural or legal person who alone or jointly with others decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data (names, email addresses, etc.).</p> <h3>Revocation of Your Consent to the Processing of Your Data</h3> <p>Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You may revoke your consent at any time with future effect. An informal email making this request is sufficient. The data processed before we receive your request may still be legally processed.</p> <h3>Right to File Complaints with Regulatory Authorities</h3> <p>In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects are entitled to log a complaint with a supervisory agency, in particular in the member state where they usually maintain their domicile, place of work or at the place where the alleged violation occurred. The right to log a complaint is in effect regardless of any other administrative or court proceedings available as legal recourses. A list of data protection officers and their contact details can be found at the following link: <a href="https://www.bfdi.bund.de/DE/Infothek/Anschriften_Links/anschriften_links-node.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">https://www.bfdi.bund.de/DE/Infothek/Anschriften_Links/anschriften_links-node.html</a>.</p> <h3>Right to Data Portability</h3> <p>You have the right to have data which we process based on your consent or in fulfillment of a contract automatically delivered to yourself or to a third party in a standard, machine-readable format. If you require the direct transfer of data to another responsible party, this will only be done to the extent technically feasible.</p> <h3>TLS Encryption</h3> <p>This site uses TLS encryption for security reasons and for the protection of the transmission of confidential content, such as the inquiries you send to us as the site operator.

You can recognize an encrypted connection in your browser's address line when it changes from "http://" to "https://" and the lock icon in your browser line is visible.</p> <p>In the case of encrypted communication, any payment details you submit cannot be read by third parties.</p> <h3>Information, Blocking, Deletion</h3> <p>As permitted by law, you have the right to be provided at any time with information free of charge about any of your personal data that is stored as well as its origin, the recipient and the purpose for which it has been processed.
