[TL;DR] - Privacy Charter:
Data protection is of a particularly high priority for the management of the myQaa. The use of the web pages of myQaa and its products may be possible without any indication of personal data; however, processing of personal data could become necessary when taking advantage of some of our services. If the processing of personal data is necessary we obtain consent from the data subject.
The processing of personal data, such as the name or email address of a data subject shall always be in line with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to our company. By means of this data protection declaration, our enterprise would like to inform the general public of the nature, scope, and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process. Furthermore, data subjects are informed, by means of this data protection declaration, of the rights to which they are entitled.
As the controller, we have implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection of personal data processed through this website. However, Internet-based data transmissions may in principle have security gaps, so absolute protection may not be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transfer personal data to us via alternative means or ask us modify or delete data.
1. Definitions
The data protection declaration of myQaa is based on the terms used by the European legislator for the adoption of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our data protection declaration should be legible and understandable for the general public, as well as our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to first explain the terminology used. In this data protection declaration, we use the following terms:

b) Data subject
Data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person, whose personal data is processed by the controller responsible for the processing.

f) Controller or controller responsible for the processing
Controller or controller responsible for the processing is the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data; where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union or Member State law, the controller or the specific criteria for its nomination may be provided for by Union or Member State law.
g) Processor

However, public authorities which may receive personal data in the framework of a particular inquiry in accordance with Union or Member State law shall not be regarded as recipients; the processing of those data by those public authorities shall be in compliance with the applicable data protection rules according to the purposes of the processing.
i) Third party
Third party is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or body other than the data subject, controller, processor and persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or processor, are authorised to process personal data.
j) Consent

5. Cookies & web storage
The web services and application we publish use cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored in a computer system via an Internet browser. Local storage is a space in the Internet browser structured as a table or small database.
Many Internet sites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a character string through which web pages and servers can be assigned to the specific Internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This allows visited websites and servers to differentiate the individual browser of the data subject from other Internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific Internet browser can be recognized and identified using the unique cookie ID. Cookies may identify contacts with or without personal data.
Through the use of cookies, we provide users with more user-friendly services, personalised experiences, log usage analytics that would not be possible without the use of cookies.
By means of a cookie, the information and services on our website can modified and optimized with the user in mind. Cookies allow us, as previously mentioned, to recognize our users. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to utilize our website. More specifically the user that uses cookies does not have to enter credential data each time the web services or app is accessed.
Cookies used for usage analytics do not contain personal data. In such case users are identified with a unique ID (non-readable and meaningless characters string).
The data subject may, at any time, prevent the setting of cookies through our website by means of a corresponding setting of the Internet browser used, and may thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. Furthermore, already set cookies may be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all popular Internet browsers. If the data subject deactivates the setting of cookies in the Internet browser used, our services will no longer work properly.
6. Collection of data
We may collect and process different types of data about you.
Identity
Profile
Technical
Usage data
In addition to this set of data the event organiser using the Service may freely add fields to the registration forms. The data collected in these fields will be stored and used only in the context of the event he is working on. For example if the organiser asks whether the attendee needs a shuttle transfer from the airport to the hotel, the information collected will only be available at a specific event and will not be shared at other events.
We will only collect information that is necessary for us to provide you with our products and services. We collect your personal information in various ways, such as via application or forms, via Internet if you transact with us online or could be over the phone. The personal information collected and stored by us about you generally includes your name, email and optionally company, job title, phone number, social pages web addresses as provided by you to us. Where practicable, we will give you the option of interacting with us anonymously.
This data and information are stored in secured, enrypted databases, not connected to the open Internet. This means this data cannot be accessed without establishing a secured and authenticated connection with our web servers.
Additionally we collect technical and usage data such as: browser types and versions, device, operating system used by the accessing system, pageviews and any other similar data.
When using these general data and information, we does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is needed to deliver the services correctly and provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for criminal prosecution in case of a cyber-attack. We also analyze anonymously collected data and information statistically, with the aim of getting better understansing of our user experience and expectations, increasing the data protection and data security of our enterprise, and to ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process.
We are not responsible for the actions of these organizers or people they may appoint to manage events, with respect to your personal data. We offer organizers the opportunity to set personalised Privacy Policies for them to detail the use of the data they may read on our service platform.
It is important that you review the applicable policies of the organizer before providing personal data or other information. Also, if you are part of an organization using our service platform, your personal data will be available to the event managers and to people they may appoint to manage events.
7. Registration, collecting the data
The data subject has the possibility to register on the website or application of the controller with the indication of personal data. Which personal data are transmitted to the controller is determined by the respective input mask used for the registration. The personal data entered by the data subject are collected and stored exclusively for internal use by the controller, and for his and the event organisers' own purposes.
The registration of the data subject, with the voluntary indication of personal data, is intended to enable the controller to offer the data subject contents or services that may only be offered to registered users due to the nature of the matter in question. Registered persons are free to change the personal data specified during the registration at any time, or to have them completely deleted from the database of the controller.
The data controller shall, at any time, provide information upon request to each data subject as to what personal data are stored about the data subject. The data controller shall correct or erase personal data at the request or indication of the data subject, insofar as there are no statutory storage obligations. The entirety of the controller's employees are available to the data subject in this respect as contact persons.

Furthermore, in exercising his or her right to data portability pursuant to Article 20(1) of the GDPR, the data subject shall have the right to have personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible and when doing so does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.
In order to assert the right to data portability, the data subject may at any time contact our team.
g) Right to object
Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator to object, on grounds relating to his or her particular situation, at any time, to processing of personal data concerning him or her, which is based on point (e) or (f) of Article 6(1) of the GDPR. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions.
We shall no longer process the personal data in the event of the objection, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
If we processes personal data for direct marketing purposes, the data subject shall have the right to object at any time to processing of personal data concerning him or her for such marketing. This applies to profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing.

h) Automated individual decision-making, including profiling
Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning him or her, or similarly significantly affects him or her, as long as the decision
If the decision (1) is necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract between the data subject and a data controller, or (2) it is based on the data subject's explicit consent, myQaa shall implement suitable measures to safeguard the data subject's rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express his or her point of view and contest the decision.
If the data subject wishes to exercise the rights concerning automated individual decision-making, he or she may, at any time, contact us.
i) Right to withdraw data protection consent
Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator to withdraw his or her consent to processing of his or her personal data at any time.
If the data subject wishes to exercise the right to withdraw the consent, he or she may, at any time, contact us.
11. Legal basis for the processing
Art. 6(1) lit. a GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose.
If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party (to provide the Service), the processing is based on Article 6(1) lit. b GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations which are necessary for carrying out pre-contractual measures, for example in the case of inquiries concerning our products or services.
Is our company subject to a legal obligation by which processing of personal data is required, the processing is based on Art. 6(1) lit. c GDPR.
In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if an attendee was injured and his name or other vital information would have to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. Then the processing would be based on Art. 6(1) lit. d GDPR.
Finally, processing operations could be based on Article 6(1) lit. f GDPR. This legal basis is used for processing operations which are not covered by any of the abovementioned legal grounds, if processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data. Such processing operations are particularly permissible because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator, considering that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a client of the controller (Recital 47 Sentence 2 GDPR).
12. The legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party
Where the processing of personal data is based on Article 6(1) lit. f GDPR our legitimate interest is to carry out our business in favor of the well-being of all our employees and the shareholders.
