The personal data that is collected, used and stored is shown in the documents/booking forms supplied to you (surname, first name, maiden name if applicable, place/country of birth, gender (form of address), academic title, billing address, responsible cost centre owner, study group leader).

c) If you have questions of any kind, you can get in touch with us using a contact form provided on the website. Here, you will be required to enter a valid email address along with your surname and first name, so that we know who the query comes from and can answer your questions. Data for the purpose of contacting us is processed in accordance with Article 6 paragraph 1 (a) of the GDPR on the basis of your declared consent. In individual cases, however, the data may also be processed in accordance with Article 6 paragraph 1 (b) of the GDPR, if the processing is required for the fulfilment of an existing contract or for the implementation of precontractual measures based on your query.

The data transmitted with the contact form (surname, first name, email address) is stored so that your query can be dealt with and any follow-up questions can be answered. Eine This data is not passed on to third parties without your consent.

2. STORAGE, USE AND FORWARDING TO THIRD PARTIES

By registering with LAS interactive, you declare your consent to all the data you provide which is relevant for the registration (see II. 1. a) being stored and processed in the database of las-interactive.de. You can view your data in your user profile on the website. This data will on principle not be passed on to third parties, unless we are required to by law or it serves the purpose of a criminal prosecution.

By booking fee-based services (submission of a booking form or registration by your course organizer) you declare your consent to all the data you provide being stored, used and further processed in our customer file. LAS interactive uses and processes your data for billing purposes and for issuing participation certificates on exams that you pass.

LAS interactive is not responsible for the correctness of your data. You are free at any time to change the data you have provided or to have it deleted from our database. On request, we shall be happy to inform you what personal data about you is stored in our database. We shall also correct or delete your personal data if you wish or if we receive notification to do so, unless we are obliged by statutory retention periods to hold on to your data.

Whenever the website of las-interactive.de is accessed, we collect a range of general data and information that is stored in our server logfiles. Besides information on the browser type and browser version you use, we also collect data on the operating system used by the system accessing the site, the web page which takes you to our website, the subsites you access through our website, the date and time when you access our website, your IP address along with internet service provider and other similar data and information that serves as a defence in the event of attacks on our IT systems.

The IP addresses collected by las-interactive.de serve the purpose of system administration in order to compile reports and analyse the use of our website. An IP address is a number that is automatically allocated to a computer for whenever it accesses the internet. Webservers, i. e. the large computers that “provide” the websites, automatically identify your computer on the basis of your IP address. When specific pages of las-interactive.de are accessed, our servers or computers register the IP addresses of visitors to the site. If this data is not essential for the technical maintenance of the systems or for system security, the data is immediately anonymized and the original protocols are deleted. The data is anonymized by deleting or shortening the IP address while allocating a code that is not assigned to a user. So, an allocation to a particular or a definable person is no longer possible. For statistical analysis, therefore, we use the protocol data (logs) exclusively in anonymized form, i. e. without allocation or reference to your person.

In the use and collection of this general information and data, las-interactive.de does not draw any conclusions as to the identity of the person concerned, but uses it ensure that our internet pages are correctly provided, content is optimized, the sustainable functionality of our systems is guaranteed and the law enforcement authorities are provided with necessary information in the event of an attack on our IT systems.

las-interactive.de uses temporary cookies on its internet pages. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer through the internet browser. They are used e.g. to distinguish between logged-in users and non-logged-in users. Many cookies are given a so-called cookie ID, which provides for an unequivocal identification of the cookies. This cookie ID consists of a series of characters through which the web pages and server can be assigned to the specific internet browser that has stored the cookies. This allows the internet sites visited to distinguish the individual browser of the person concerned from other browsers that contain cookies. The relevant cookie ID thus enables a given browser to be recognized again and identified.

You can reject the cookies we use at any time by means of appropriate settings in your in browser and thus permanently refuse the placement of cookies by las-interactive.de. The removal or deactivation of cookies can compromise the use and functionality of our services. We never save unencrypted passwords or similar sensitive data. Further information on the blocking, deletion or deactivation of cookies can be found in your browser instructions.
