You can register for bloxberg events via this page. Registration is mandatory for the execution and handling of the events. Participation without registration and the associated storage of personal data is not possible. The following data is temporarily stored during registration:
Mandatory information is marked as such, e.g. with “required” or *. Besides, other data may often be entered voluntarily.
The mandatory data are processed in order to identify the interested persons as participants of the event, to perform the participation contract, and to provide the participants with information pertaining to the event before, during and after the event. The voluntary data allows us to plan and execute the event based on interest and age criteria.
The storage and processing of the data are based on legitimate interest according to Art. 6 Para. 1 f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest arises from the purpose of data collection mentioned above. The data will be deleted by us 60 days after the end of the event

The following data is temporarily stored:
The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of data in log files is mandatory for the operation of the website. These data are used only for the direct provision of our services, for troubleshooting, or for defense against an attack and are automatically deleted after a short time.
The legal basis for the temporary storage of data and log files is Art. 6 Para. 1 f) GDPR. The storage in log files ensures the functionality of the website. In addition, the data helps us optimize the website, eliminate faults, and ensure the security of our information technology systems. These purposes also constitute our legitimate interest in data processing.
To facilitate the use of our website, we use so-called “session cookies.” These are small text files that are stored on your hard drive only for the duration of your visit to our website and are deleted, depending on the setting of your browser program, when the browser is closed.

The storage and evaluation of the data are carried out exclusively on a central server operated by The bloxberg Association in cooperation with the Max Planck Digital Library.
The legal basis for processing the personal data of users is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Processing the personal data of users enables us to analyze the behavior of our users. By evaluating the data obtained, we are able to compile information about the use of the individual components of our websites. This helps us continuously improve our websites and their user-friendliness. These purposes also constitute our legitimate interest in processing the data according to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The anonymization of the IP address sufficiently takes into account the interest of users in the protection of their personal data.
The data is deleted after the final annual totals for access statistics have been formed.
Of course, you have the option to object to data collection. You have the following independent options to object to data collection by the central server:
The storage and evaluation are generally anonymized. Session cookies are deleted at the latest when you close your browser.

We use so-called social media buttons (also called social media plug-ins) on our website. These are small buttons by means of which you may publish the contents of our website in your profile on social networks.
If you activate such a button, a connection is established between our website and the social network. In addition to the contents in question, the operator of the social network also obtains additional, partly personal, information. For instance, it includes the fact that you are currently visiting our site.
The social media buttons on our website are integrated using the WordPress plugin Smash Balloon. Information is only sent to a social network when you actively press one of the social media buttons. This ensures that your data is not transmitted to social networks without your explicit consent.
We use the following social media plug-ins:
