Information about the collection of personal data
In the following we inform you about the collection of personal data when using our websites. Personal data refers to all data that is personally identifiable to you, e.g. name, address, e-mail addresses, user behaviour. As the operator of our website, we take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this data protection declaration.
1 Collection and processing of data, and where necessary personal data
1.1 Logging of non-personal data
You can visit our websites without registering or providing any personal information. Every time a user accesses our websites and every time a file is called up, data about this process is automatically recorded and stored in a log file. More specifically, the following data record is stored for each retrieval:
- Name of the retrieved file;
- Date and time of retrieval;
- The amount of data transferred;
- Message as to whether the retrieval was successful;
- Description of the type of web browser used;
- Requesting domain.
IP addresses are not completely recorded but are shortened before they are stored and do not allow any conclusions to be drawn about a particular computer. This data is stored exclusively for internal system-related and statistical purposes. We use this information to improve and update the appearance of our websites and thus increase their appeal.
The logged data is not combined with other data sources, in particular data that allows it to be assigned to a specific person.
1.2 Collection of personal data
Personal information such as your name, address, telephone number or e-mail address is not collected unless you provide this information voluntarily, e.g. as part of a registration, survey, competition, contract or information request. We would like to point out that data transmission over the internet (e.g. communication by e-mail) can have security gaps. It is not possible to guarantee complete protection of data against access by third parties.
1.3 Use of personal data
As far as you have provided us with personal data, we shall use this data exclusively for the purpose of technical administration of our websites and to fulfil your wishes and requirements, and in particular to process the contract concluded with you or to answer your enquiry.
If you send us enquiries using the contact form, your details on the enquiry form, including the contact data you provided there, will be stored for the purpose of processing the enquiry and for dealing with follow-up questions.
Your personal data will not be passed on, sold or otherwise transferred to third parties unless:
- this is necessary for the purpose of executing the contract. For example, it may be necessary for us to pass on your address and order data to our suppliers when ordering products;
- this is necessary for billing purposes;
- you have expressly consented to the disclosure of your data.
You have the right to revoke such consent with effect for the future at any time. The personal data will be deleted or blocked
- if you revoke your consent to storage;
- if knowledge of the data is no longer necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was stored or if its storage is inadmissible for other legal reasons.
1.4 Use of personal data in the context of trade visitor registration
Personal data will be used by the organiser exclusively for the purposes of event organisation and execution. By registering, you expressly agree to receiving registration information by email (e.g. opening online registration, ticket confirmation email), to being contacted by the visitor management of the respective trade fair and by the visitor management of any affiliated cooperation partners (for INOVA COLLECTION currently Trend Düsseldorf) by email, telephone, fax or post (e.g. ticket dispatch or event-specific information), and to your details being used anonymously for statistical evaluations (e.g. for visitor statistics, industry statistics and improving our services). The data will be used exclusively for these purposes. The data will not be passed onto third parties unless this is necessary for the purpose of fulfilling a contract. Your consent to this use is voluntary; however, the fact that our trade fairs are aimed exclusively at selected trade visitors (B2B) means that personal data is required as part of the registration process. The consent you have granted for the use of the data for the information purposes described above can be revoked in writing at any time.

If you do not want us to recognise information about your computer, please set your internet browser so that it deletes cookies from your computer hard drive, blocks all cookies or warns you before a cookie is stored. It is, however, possible that not all functions of our web pages will then be available to you.
If you leave our pages via a link or by clicking on possible banner advertisements and are thus redirected to external pages, it may be that cookies are also set by the addressees of the clicked target page. We are not legally responsible for these cookies. For information on the use of such cookies and the data stored on them by our advertising partners, please refer to their data protection declarations.
Moreover, we also use cookies so that we can identify you on follow-up visits if you have an account with us. Otherwise you would have to log in again for each visit.
2.2 Google Analytics
Our websites use the analysis service Google Analytics. This web analysis service is operated by Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (hereinafter referred to as: Google).
This analysis tool works on the basis of cookies. A cookie is a text file that is sent when you visit a website and stored temporarily on the user’s hard drive to enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information stored by the cookie is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and then stored there.
In the context of IP anonymisation, your IP address will be shortened by Google within a member state of the EU or another state party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. On our behalf, Google will use the transmitted information to create a report on the use of the website. The IP address transmitted within the framework of Google Analytics is not combined with other Google data.

If you would like to place an order through our online portal, it is necessary for the conclusion of the contract that you enter the personal data we need to process your order. The details required for the execution of the contract are marked separately as mandatory, all other details are voluntary. We process the data you provide so that we can fulfil your order.

We may also process the information you provide to inform you of other interesting products in our portfolio or to send you emails containing technical information.
We are obliged by commercial and tax law requirements to store your address, payment and order data for a period of ten years. To prevent unauthorised third-party access to your personal data, especially financial data, the ordering process is encrypted using TLS technology.

Furthermore, we may pass on your personal data to third parties if we offer special offers, promotions, competitions, contracts or similar services together with partners. You will receive more detailed information about this when you provide your personal data.
