It is generally possible to block, deactivate or erase cookies via the menu settings of the browser you use. More detailed information on this can be found in the Help area of the web browser you use.

Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, which is a web analysis service of Google LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA) Google Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses cookies which are stored on your computer in order to evaluate your usage of the website, to compile reports about website activities and to provide the website operator additional services in connection with the use of the website or the Internet. The information about your usage of this website generated by the cookies is generally transmitted to a Google server in the USA where it is saved.

In the event that IP anonymization is activated on this web page, however, your IP address is first truncated by Google within the member states of the European Union or in other states party to the agreement concerning the European Economic Area. Only as an exception is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and is there truncated. Because the privacy of our users is important to us, the user data on this website is pseudonymized and your IP address is anonymized. 

The IP address transmitted from your browser in the context of Google Analytics is not combined with other Google data.

Data transfer

As a matter of principle, no transfer of data to third parties takes place except if we are legally obligated to do so or you have previously granted your express consent for the transfer of your data. External service providers and partner firms only receive your data inasmuch as this is required for the registration to the event. To the extent that our service providers come into contact with your personal data, we ensure that they comply with the regulations of the data protection laws in the same manner as we do. Your personal data are not sold to third parties or marketed in any other way.

Declaration of Consent, Data Protection at Events
The protection of your personal data is of special importance to us. Consequently, we process your data exclusively on the basis of the relevant legal provisions, such as the GDPR as well as applicable national data protection regulations, including in particular the Austrian Data Protection Act (DSG) and the Austrian Telecommunications Act (TKG 2003). In this data privacy statement, we provide you with information on the most important aspects of the data processing which takes place in the context of our events.

Image and audio material
We would like to inform you that at the EAWD Congress photos will be taken and videos made for the purpose of representing and presenting the event.
With your participation at the event, you consent to the creation of image and audio material. This could be done by employees of the company as well as by their contractual partners, including in particular photographers and agencies.
The image and audio material produced will be made available for all participants for download on our web pages in the section for registered users. Furthermore selected image and audio material will be used on the Internet on the www.eawdcongress.com website and can also be published on the local intranet of Magna Powertrain (https://magna.sharepoint.com/sites/magnet). In addition, selected images and videos might also be used for advertisements in various print media, such as newspapers and magazines, flyers (products, HR, events), brochures, folders for training events, posters, banners and roll-ups as well as for event invitations and on social media („LinkedIn“, „Xing“, „Facebook“, „Instagram“ and „Twitter“). In the course of publication we will respect the legitimate interest within the meaning of copyright law (UrhG) and verify images and videos accordingly.
To carry out the publications described above, the data processing might also include transfer of the image and audio material produced to Magna International Inc. and Magna Powertrain Inc. At the event that data transfers take place in this context to third countries – countries outside of the European Economic Area – in which it is possible that the data protection level is inadequate, we obtain corresponding guarantees that the relevant, applicable data protection regulations are complied with.

Publication on the Internet
We would like to inform you that information on the Internet is accessible worldwide and can be found with search engines and can be linked with other information which could conceivably allow the creation of personality profiles. Once information has been placed on the Internet, it can easily be copied and further processed. There are specialized archiving services with the objective of permanently documenting the state of certain websites at certain times. This can have the effect that information that has been published on the Internet once can still be found even after it has been erased from the original site. Based on information known at this time, data cannot be deleted on social media platforms; it is instead archived and, as a result, no longer simply displayed publicly. Insufficient information is available at this time regarding the internal use of data by such platform providers, such as for use in creating personality profiles.

Consent
Publication on the Internet does not contain any express virtual ban for search engines.In the event that you do not consent to data processing for the purpose of using the image and audio material, we have prepared corresponding measures for you. Please contact our employees in this matter at the time of registration or the contact information above.

Your rights
Your consent is granted for an indefinite period of time. Your consent does not give rise to any rights such as remuneration. Your consent is voluntary. If you do not consent, there will be no disadvantages for you.
Your consent can be withdrawn at any time in text form effective for the future. You can reach us at our business address of Magna Powertrain, Industriestraße 35, 8502 Lannach, Austria as well as via email at datenschutzbeauftragter.ts.mpt@magna.com.
Promotional material in which you can be recognized and which substantially shows only you will then be removed from all of the digital media listed above and will no longer be used for new print media. If you are shown on a photo or in a video together with other people, the image does not have to be removed, but it is instead sufficient for you to be obscured in the image for any reuse of the material.
Of course, we are available to you at any time for information concerning data protection on our website.
Your right to lodge a complaint with the Austrian Data Protection Authority remains untouched.
