1.4 Data processing by the organiser

The organiser of the 3rd Biointelligence Congress is the Fraunhofer Institute for Manufacturing Engineering and Automation IPA, Nobelstraße 12, 70569 Stuttgart. It is the controller responsible for all processing of personal data that does not relate to the operation of the ticket platform but is connected with:

performance of the contract,

holding the event,

admission checks,

communications with participants, and

compliance with the organiser’s own legal obligations.

The organiser is independently responsible for this data processing under data protection law.

1.5 Payment processing

Payment for ticket purchases is not processed by Messe Stuttgart, but by its payment service provider, Mollie B.V.

Messe Stuttgart:

is not involved in payment processing,

does not receive any payment data (e.g. credit card or bank account details), and

is not responsible for this data processing.

1.6 Transfer of data to the organiser

When you purchase a ticket, the personal details you enter (surname, first name, address, email address, telephone number, company and billing address) and certain ticket-related information (e.g. ticket code, order number, admission status and time of purchase) are transferred to the organiser of the 3rd Biointelligence Congress to the extent necessary for performance of the contract and organisation of the event.
The transfer is based on Article 6(1)(b) GDPR (performance of the agreement governing use of the ticket shop).
Where the transfer is necessary for organisational purposes connected with running the event (e.g. admission checks or verification of ticket status), it is also based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. The legitimate interest lies in ensuring that the event is run properly and securely.

The organiser is independently responsible under data protection law for any further processing of this data.

1.7 Storage period

Messe Stuttgart stores personal data only for as long as necessary to operate the ticket shop, administer the contract or comply with statutory retention obligations.
Statutory retention periods, particularly those under commercial and tax law, remain unaffected. Once the relevant periods have expired, the data is deleted or anonymised.
