Under the menu option “Events” (“Fachveranstaltungen”) you have the possibility to bindingly register for our events regarding youth welfare services and family law. Moreover, you can book a catering package and overnight stays. By selecting the item “Comments/special requests” you may send us further comments, e.g. on food intolerances. We require your contact details for booking the event and for invoicing. Provided you have given your consent, we will additionally release your contact details and the capacity in which you are attending to all participants as well as all speakers so the speakers may prepare themselves more specifically and tailor the event to suit your interest. In addition, we will forward the list of participants to cooperation partners (see item “recipients” below) so we can organize the event with them. Forwarding participant lists to hotels serves to help the hotel prepare the venue. Moreover, any special requests you may have for your stay will be forwarded to the hotel. The legal bases for processing these data are Article 6 (1) (a) and (b) as well as Article 9 (1) (a) GDPR. Based on your consent given in accordance with Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR, we will additionally process your data to invite you to similar events by e-mail.
