2. a) When visiting the website:
When you visit our Website www.architectsnotarchitecture.com, the browser you are using on your terminal device automatically sends information to the server of our website. This information will be temporarily stored in a so-called log file. The following information will be recorded without your intervention and stored until automated deletion.
IP address of the requesting computer,
date and time of access,
name and URL of the file accessed,
website from which access has been made (Referrer-URL),
the browser used and, if applicable, your computer’s operating system, and your access provider’s name.
We will be processing the above-mentioned data for the following purposes:
ensuring a smooth connection of the website,
ensuring comfortable use of our website,
evaluation of system security and stability,
for other administrative purposes.
The legal basis for data processing is GDPR sec. 6 para 1 lit. f. Our legitimate interest follows from the purposes listed above for data collection. In no case we will be using the collected data for the purpose of drawing conclusions about you.
2. b) When contacting us by e-mail:
You also have the chance to contact us by e-mail. In this case, the information provided by the user will be stored for the purpose of processing his contact. The data will not be passed on to third parties. A comparison of the data collected in this way with data that may be collected by other components of our site also does not take place.
Further data will not be collected or will only be collected on a voluntary basis. We will only use this data to send you our newsletter. For this purpose, we use the mail service provider MailChimp (point 9).
2. c) When registering for our newsletter:
If you wish to receive the newsletter offered on the website, we require an e-mail address from you as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of said e-mail address and agree to receive the newsletter.
The data entered in the newsletter registration form will be processed exclusively on the basis of your consent (GDPR sec. 6 para. 1 lit. a). You may withdraw your consent to the storage of data, e-mail address and their use for sending the newsletter at any time. You can unsubscribe at any time, for example via a link at the end of each newsletter. Alternatively, you can also send your cancellation request at any time by e-mail to team@architectsnotarchitecture.com. The withdrawal does not affect the legitimacy of the data processing operations already carried out. Data stored about you for the purpose of subscribing to our newsletter will be stored by us until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and deleted after unsubscribing from the newsletter. This does not affect data stored by us for other purposes (e.g. e-mail addresses for the purchase of tickets).
For this purpose, we use the mail service provider Sendinblue (point 8).
2. d) When buying tickets:
You can book tickets for our events via our website. For this purpose we use the tool Eventbrite. Eventbrite is a product of Eventbrite Inc., 535 Mission Street, 8th Floor, San Francisco, CA 94103, USA. We use this tool as event management software for ticketing and the payment processing of events.
When you register for an event, you will be redirected to the website from Eventbrite. To purchase a ticket it is necessary that you provide us with your name, address, event-ID, and a valid e-mail address. Mandatory information required for the processing of contracts is marked separately, further information is voluntary. Furthermore, we also need information on the payment process. Payment data is collected in encrypted form and used exclusively for processing the corresponding transaction. Eventbrite gives us access to the mentioned data.
We will process the data provided by you in order to process your purchase. The legal basis for this is GDPR sec. 6 para. 1 lit. b.
Eventbrite uses standard contractual clauses for data transfer and processing by recipients located in third countries (GDPR sec. 46 para. 2 and 3).
Eventbrite undertakes to comply with European data protection standards when processing data, even if the data is transferred to these third countries.

2. e) Commercial use of your data:
We process the data of our customers according to the legal regulations for our own marketing purposes. If you have concluded a contract with us for the sale of a ticket, you will therefore receive direct marketing by post or e-mail for similar events or services beyond the existence of a concrete consent. For this purpose we can also pass on your data to our sponsors of the respective event for which you have purchased a ticket. Please refer to the respective event page on our website for information on who is the sponsor of the event in question.
You can object to the use and processing of your data for advertising purposes at any time by sending a short message to fermin@architectsnotarchitecture.com or withdraw your consent, if given, without incurring any costs other than the basic rates.
If you object, your contact address will be blocked for further promotional processing by our sponsors.

Our interest in addressing advertising to existing customers in line with their needs is to be regarded as justified within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f DSGVO.

(https://www.google.de/intl/de/about/) (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA). DoubleClick uses cookies to serve ads relevant to users, to improve campaign performance reports, or to prevent a user from seeing the same ads more than once. Google uses a cookie ID to track which ads appear in which browser, thereby preventing them from appearing more than once. In addition, DoubleClick may use cookie IDs to collect conversions related to ad requests. This is the case, for example, when a user sees a DoubleClick ad and later uses the same browser to visit the advertiser’s website and make a purchase. According to Google, DoubleClick cookies do not contain personally identifiable information.
Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection with the Google server. We have no influence on the extent and the further use of the data, which are raised by the employment of this tool by Google and inform you therefore according to our state of knowledge: By the integration of DoubleClick Google receives the information that you called the appropriate part of our Internet appearance or clicked an announcement of us. If you are registered with a Google service, Google can assign the visit to your account. Even if you are not registered with Google or have not logged in, it is possible that the provider may find out and store your IP address.
You can prevent participation in this tracking procedure in various ways:
- by setting your browser software accordingly, in particular by suppressing third party cookies, you will not receive advertisements from third parties;
- by disabling conversion tracking cookies by setting your browser to block cookies from the domain googleadservices.com, https://www.google.de/settings/ads, which is deleted when you delete your cookies;
