We perform our online formats using external video conferencing tools (e.g. Microsoft Teams, or Zoom). With your participation in our online events, you declare your consent to the use of the particular services.

We wish to  perform our meeting fully compliant with data protection. The best way to achieve this is to reduce the processing or transmission of personal data of allparticipants to a minimum, or to exclude it altogether. Through this "data minimisation" we protect your data protection rights.

For this, you may observe the following recommendations:

• When you follow the meeting link, you can often choose to join the meeting in your browser or by running the programme/client (insofar as you or your organization own it). You may choose the browser-based option for a more low-data use.
• When you use a browser-based application: Disable cookies in your browser, and always select data protection-friendly settings in your browser.
• When you enter the meeting, you will be asked to provide your name. If you prefer, you may log in with an alias name. Depending on the platform, you may also log in as a guest.
• Keep your camera turned off.
• Mute your microphone. (If you have questions for the speakers, you can of course activate this; alternatively, you can ask your questions in the chat window, again without mentioning your personal information, if you prefer).

If you follow these instructions, no, or less, personal data will be transmitted.

In addition to our own information on data protection and the use of your personal data, which you can find here, we also provide the following information:
