Data collection and data processing
We use data that you transmit to us, e.g. via the contact form, registration as a therapist, registration for a seminar, etc., only to fulfil your wishes and requests. We treat personal data as absolutely confidential. We request only data relevant to the purpose and comply with the legal requirements. Your name, address, telephone number and fax number or e-mail address are examples of data that you provide to us. Proof of occupation is required for access to specialist information. We store your account data for the processing of payments in connection with our events and for payment transactions in general business operations (e.g. suppliers, orders). 

The use of our website automatically causes some types of data to be collected and analysed. These include, for example, Internet Protocol address (IP address), date and time of the request, time-zone offset from Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), content of the request (specific site), access status/HTTP-status code, data volume transmitted in each case, website from which the request originates, browser, operating system and its interface, language and version of the browser software. These types of data help us improve and stabilise our website and ensure security. This data is anonymous, meaning that it cannot be traced back to individual persons.

Transmission to third parties
We will not transmit your data to third parties who are not working with us for the purposes of processing the order. All employees and third parties are obliged to treat your data confidentially and with respect.

We use your data for other purposes only if you have already been informed in detail regarding the purpose of the use and have explicitly consented to it.

Data security/ Encryption
Our website is encrypted with Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). Data that you enter and send via a form on our website is also protected by SSL encryption so that it cannot be read by unauthorised parties.

Data storage
Customer data we no longer need is deleted within one year unless we are required by law to retain it.

Right to information
You have the right to receive information about personal data relating to you that we have stored and to request the deletion (if legally possible), restriction or rectification of your personal data. You can contact the data protection officer in order to exercise these rights.

Google stores your data in the form of a use profile and uses this for the purposes of advertising, market research and/or the needs-based design of its website. In particular, an analysis of this kind takes place (even for users who are not logged in) for the purposes of delivering needs-based advertising and to inform other users of the social network about your activities at our website.
