2. Collection, Storage and Erasure of Personal Data as well as Type and Purpose and their use

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 will we use 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 their contact request. 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 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, and only where you have subscribed. For this purpose we use the mail service provider Brevo (point 8).

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. 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 Brevo (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 of 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), and undertakes to comply with European data protection standards when processing data, even if the data is transferred to those third countries.

You can find more information about the standard contractual clauses at: https://www.eventbrite.com/support/articles/en_US/Troubleshooting/data-processing-addendum-for-organizers?lg=en_US

For more information see Eventbrite’s privacy policy at: https://www.eventbrite.com/support/articles/en_US/Troubleshooting/eventbrite-privacy-policy?lg=en_US

2. e) Commercial use of your data and disclosure to our event partners:

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.

We also pass on your name, e-mail address and company name to the main partners of the specific event for which you registered or purchased a ticket, so that they may send you a one-time e-mail to thank you for your participation at the conclusion of the event, market their services to you and provide you with information about their products and/or services. You will not receive further marketing communications from our main partners after that e-mail unless you opt in separately with them.

The main partners of each event are listed in point 3 below and on the event page of the respective event on our website.

You can object to the use and processing of your data for advertising purposes at any time, without incurring any costs other than the basic rates, by sending a short message to team@architectsnotarchitecture.com, or withdraw your consent where consent was given. If you object, your contact address will be blocked for further promotional processing by our partners.

The legal basis for the above-mentioned promotional use of your data is GDPR sec. 6 para. 1 lit. f in conjunction with GDPR sec. 95 and the Act Against Unfair Competition (Gesetz gegen den unlauteren Wettbewerb, UWG) sec. 7 para. 3. Our interest in addressing advertising to existing customers in line with their needs is to be regarded as justified within the meaning of GDPR sec. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f. We use third-party service providers who comply with data protection regulations to send advertising.

2. f) Deletion of Data:

Your data stored with us will only be stored as long as it is required for the optimal processing of the customer relationship. I.e. the data just mentioned under lit. d) remain stored until handling.

However, we are obliged by commercial and tax law to store your address, payment and order data for a period of ten years. After three years at the end of the year, we will restrict processing, i.e. your data will only be used to comply with legal obligations.

3. Main partners per event (2026 season)

The following table lists the main partners of each 2026 event who receive the data described in point 2. e). We update this table for every edition; the partners of past events are not changed retrospectively.

if you have explicitly consented pursuant to GDPR sec. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a,
if passing on your personal data pursuant to GDPR sec. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f is necessary for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims, and there is no reason to believe that you have an overriding interest worthy of protection in the non-disclosure of your data,
in the event of a legal obligation existing for their transfer pursuant to GDPR sec. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. c, and
where this is permitted by law and is necessary for carrying out our contractual relationships with you pursuant to GDPR sec. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b.

5. Cookies

We use cookies on our website. These are small files that your browser automatically creates and that are stored on your device (laptop, tablet, smartphone, etc.) when you visit our site. Cookies do not harm your device, do not contain viruses, Trojans or other malicious software.

In the cookie information is stored, each resulting in connection with the specific terminal used. However, this does not mean that we are immediately aware of your identity.

The use of cookies is used to statistically record the use of our website and to evaluate it for the purpose of optimizing our performance for you. These cookies allow us to automatically recognize when you visit our website again that you have already been with us. These cookies will be erased after a defined period of time.

The data processed by cookies is required for the aforementioned purposes in order to protect our legitimate interests and those of third parties pursuant to GDPR sec. 6 para. 1 lit. f. Where cookies are not strictly necessary, we set them only on the basis of your consent, which you can give or withdraw at any time via the cookie banner.

Most browsers automatically accept cookies. However, you can configure your browser in such a way that no cookies will be stored on your computer, or that a message always appears prior to a new cookie being created. Complete deactivation of cookies might lead to you not being able to use all of our website’s functions.

6. Analysis- & Marketing-Tools

We use the tracking measures listed below on the legal basis of GDPR sec. 6 para 1 lit. f. With the tracking measures used, we want to ensure that our website will be meeting requirements and will be held continually optimized. Furthermore, we use tracking devices to statistically record the use of our website and to evaluate it for the purpose of optimizing our service for you. These interests are to be regarded as legitimate within the meaning of the aforementioned provision.

6. a) Google Analytics:

We use Google Analytics, a web analysis service by Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House Barrow Street, Dublin 4; hereinafter „Google“) for the purpose of demand-oriented design and continuous optimization of our sites. Google has submitted to the EU-US Privacy Shield, https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework.

In this context, pseudonymised user profiles will be created and cookies will be used, see point 4. The information on your use of our website created by the cookie such as

browser type / version,
used operating system,
Referrer URL (the previously visited page),
the accessing computer’s host name of (IP address),
time of server request,

will be submitted to a server of Google in the USA and stored there. The information is used to evaluate the use of the website, to compile reports on the website activities and to provide further services associated with the use of the website and of the internet for the purposes of market research and demand-oriented design of these web pages. This information may also be transferred to third parties if this is required by law or if third parties process this data on behalf of the company. Under no circumstances will your IP address be merged with other data from Google. The IP addresses will be anonymized so that an assignment is not possible (IP masking).

You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser, however please note that if you do this you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website.

Furthermore, you can prevent recording of data generated by the cookie relating to your use of the website (including your IP address) and its processing by Google when downloading and installing a browser-add-on https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.

As an alternative to the browser add-on, especially for browsers on mobile devices, you can also prevent Google Analytics from capturing data by clicking this link.

Further information on data protection in connection with Google Analytics can be found at https://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html.

6. b) WordPress.com stats:

In addition, we also use WordPress.com stats, a product of Automattic Inc., 60 29th Street #343, San Francisco, CA 94110-4929, USA. We use this tool to statistically evaluate visitor access. WordPress.com-Stats uses the tracking technology of Quantcast Inc., 201 3rd St, Floor 2, San Francisco, CA 94103-3153, USA.

WordPress.com-Stats stores cookies (point 4) in your browser. These make it possible to analyse your user behaviour on our website. However, the information generated in this way is anonymised before it is stored and transferred to a server in the USA, so that no conclusions can be drawn about you.

If you do not agree with the tracking by WordPress.com-Stats, you can prevent the storage of cookies by a corresponding setting of the browser software; however, we point out that in this case not all functions of this website may be fully usable.

In addition, you can object to the collection and use of data by Quantcast with effect for the future by placing an opt-out cookie in your browser by clicking on the “Click here to opt-out” link at this point: http://www.quantcast.com/opt-out. If you delete all cookies on your computer, you must set the opt-out cookie again.

7. YouTube and Google Marketing Platform:

We have included YouTube videos in our online offering, which are stored at http://www.youtube.com and can be played directly from our website. These are all integrated in “extended data protection mode”, i.e. no data about you as a user will be transmitted to YouTube if you do not play the videos. Only when you play the videos will the data referred to below be transmitted. We have no influence on this data transmission.

By playing a video, YouTube receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding subpage of our website. This is independent of whether YouTube provides a user account through which you are logged in or whether no user account exists. If you are logged in to Google, your information will be directly associated with your account. If you do not wish to be associated with your profile on YouTube, you must log out before activating the button. YouTube stores your data as user profiles and uses them for the purposes of advertising, market research and/or demand-oriented design of its website. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles; to exercise this right you must contact YouTube.

Through the integration of YouTube, the online marketing tools of the Google Marketing Platform (formerly DoubleClick) may also be used. These use cookies to serve ads relevant to users, to improve campaign performance reports, and to prevent a user from seeing the same ads more than once. According to Google, these 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 further use of the data collected by Google through the use of this tool, and therefore inform you according to our state of knowledge: through this integration, Google receives the information that you called up the relevant part of our website or clicked on an advertisement of ours. 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,
by disabling conversion tracking cookies by setting your browser to block cookies from the domain googleadservices.com,
by disabling the interest-based ads of the providers that are part of the “About Ads” self-regulatory campaign through the link http://www.aboutads.info/choices,
by permanently disabling it via the browser plug-in at http://www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin.

Please note that in these cases you may not be able to make full use of all functions of this website.

The legal basis for the processing of your data is GDPR sec. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f. Further information on data protection at Google in general: https://policies.google.com/privacy

Alternatively, you can visit the website of the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) at http://www.networkadvertising.org.

8. Newsletter distribution via Brevo:

We use “Brevo” (formerly Sendinblue), a product of Brevo GmbH, Köpenicker Straße 126, 10179 Berlin, Germany, to distribute our newsletter.

The e-mail addresses of our newsletter recipients, as well as any other information described in this notice, are stored on our and Brevo’s servers. In addition to your e-mail address, first and last name and IP address, Brevo also processes your click behaviour in the newsletter.

We send our newsletter with Brevo based on your consent (GDPR sec. 6 para. 1 lit. a). You will only receive the newsletter if you have actively registered for it. The registration process is documented by Brevo so that we can prove your consent. Where your consent is not necessary, we send the newsletter on the basis of our legitimate interest in direct marketing (GDPR sec. 6 para. 1 lit. f), where this is permitted by law.

Further information on data protection at Brevo can be found in Brevo’s privacy policy at: https://www.brevo.com/legal/privacypolicy/

11. Data security:

We use the most common SSL (Secure Socket Layer) method in connection with the highest level of encryption supported by your browser. Usually this is a 256 bit encryption. If your browser does not support 256-bit encryption, we use 128-bit v3 technology instead. Whether a single page of our website is transmitted in encrypted form can be seen from the closed display of the key or lock symbol in the status bar of your browser. We make use of the rest of the adequate technical and organizational security measures to protect your data against accidental or intentional manipulation, partial or complete loss, destruction or against unauthorized access by third parties. Our security measures are continuously improved in line with technological developments.

This data protection declaration is currently valid and has the status of September 2026.

Due to the further development of our website and offers, or due to changed legal or official requirements, it may become necessary to change this data protection declaration. You can access and print out the current data protection declaration at any time on the website at https://www.architectsnotarchitecture.com/data-privacy/

8. Your rights

You may at any time request access to, correction or erasure of the personal information we hold about you, request restriction of its processing or its transfer to another controller, object to its use for direct marketing, or withdraw a consent you have given, by writing to team@architectsnotarchitecture.com. Withdrawing your consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority, and, in relation to processing subject to the UAE PDPL, with the UAE Data Office.
