Privacy and cookie notice
1st application This data protection declaration is effective as of November 25, 2021. The protection of personal data of website visitors is a very important concern for BML. This data protection declaration regulates the collection, processing and use of personal data when you visit this website. 2. Responsible body Responsible body within the meaning of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) and at the same time service provider within the meaning of the Telemedia Act (TMG) is the BML (E-Mail info@bml.gr) 3. Collection, processing and use of data In principle, we only collect and use personal data from our users to the extent that this is necessary to provide a functional website and our content and services. The collection and use of personal data of our users takes place regularly only with the consent of the user. An exception applies in such cases in which it is not possible to obtain prior consent for actual reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by statutory provisions and is in our legitimate interests. The legal basis for storing the data is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. As part of your website visit, we collect, process and use certain data for precisely defined purposes. The data that we regularly collect and process as part of your visit to our websites includes the name of your Internet service provider, the website through which you visit us, the BML websites that you viewed, websites from which you visit our website, your IP address and the date and duration of your visit. We process this data in a non-personalized form and store and analyze it exclusively for statistical purposes so that we can continuously improve our websites and our range of products and services. We collect personal data if you provide it to us voluntarily, for example as part of your registration for newsletters, events, product information we offer or to process other inquiries addressed to us. This is data that you enter via the forms we provide so that we can interact with you. This data is used by us exclusively to process your inquiries and to inform you about our range of products and services as required. In addition, we use the data to provide you with personalized information for marketing purposes via various communication channels (e.g. as part of your registration for our newsletter). Insofar as we engage third parties as BML service providers within the framework of the collection, processing and use of your data, we limit the transfer to those data that are necessary for the provision of the service commissioned by us. In doing so, we will oblige the relevant service provider in writing to use your data exclusively on our behalf and exclusively within the scope of the purpose agreed between you and us. Furthermore, the relevant service providers are committed to data secrecy by us and are not authorized to disclose your data or to use it for purposes other than those commissioned by us. In countries where this is applicable, we may use a legitimate interest as a legal basis by using your personal data, for example to improve our services, for statistical purposes or for business development, such as marketing, to include you in newsletters, invitations to seminars and events to inform about our services and solutions. If you have provided BML with your email address for communication or direct marketing purposes, BML will process personal data in order to communicate with you. Such processing of personal data for direct marketing purposes takes place on the legal basis of your consent or our legitimate interest in direct email communication in countries where this is applicable. In each electronic marketing communication sent to you, we will provide you with an opportunity to opt-out or opt-out of further communications, as set out in Section 9.4. "Right of Information, Right to Object and Right to Withdraw" explained, or you can opt-out by contacting us as described in Section 8.4. "Right to information, objection and revocation" 4. Retention of Data The personal data of the person concerned will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies. Storage can also take place if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in EU regulations, laws or other regulations to which the person responsible is subject. The data will also be blocked or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the standards mentioned expires, unless there is a need for further storage of the data for the conclusion or fulfillment of a contract. 5.

Registration via contact form 8.1. Description and scope of data processing On our website, we offer users the opportunity to register using the contact form by providing personal data in order to receive additional information or to register to participate in BML training courses. The data is entered into an input mask and transmitted to us. In addition to the data already mentioned, we collect first name, last name, job title, company, industry, department, country, title, telephone and e-mail address when registering. As part of the registration process, the user's consent to the processing of this data is obtained. 8.2. purpose of data processing Registration of the user is necessary for the provision of certain content and services on our website and in the BML. The purpose of collecting the user's e-mail address is to deliver download links and to coordinate participation in training courses and events. The collection of other personal data as part of the registration process serves to prevent misuse of the services or the email address used. 8.3. Duration of storage The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer required to achieve the purpose for which they were collected. This is also the case for the data collected during the registration process if the registration on our website is canceled or changed or you as a user have informed us by means of a newsletter opt-out (see also Section 9) that you do not want any further information about BML want to receive products and services. BML uses an external email verification service to ensure email addresses are still reachable and emails can still be delivered. If email addresses can no longer be reached, they will be deleted from the relevant directories at BML. 8.4. Possibility of objection and elimination As a user, you have the option to cancel the registration at any time. You can change or delete the data stored about you at any time. Please contact the following email address: info@bml.gr 9. Newsletters 9.1. Description and scope of data processing You can subscribe to a free newsletter on our website. When registering for the newsletter, the data from the input mask is transmitted to us. In addition to the data already mentioned, we collect first name, last name, job title, company, industry, country, title, telephone and e-mail address when registering. Your consent will be obtained for the processing of the data as part of the registration process and reference will be made to this data protection declaration. 9.2. purpose of data processing The collection of the user's e-mail address serves to deliver the newsletter. The newsletter is sent when the user registers on the website. The collection of other personal data as part of the registration process serves to prevent misuse of the services or the email address used. 9.3. Duration of storage The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer required to achieve the purpose for which they were collected. The user's e-mail address is therefore stored as long as the subscription to the newsletter is active and then permanently in order to be able to assign the so-called opt-out. BML uses an external email verification service to ensure email addresses are still reachable and emails can still be delivered. If email addresses can no longer be reached, they will be deleted from the relevant directories at BML. 9.4. Possibility of objection and elimination The subscription to the newsletter can be canceled by the user concerned at any time; this is the so-called opt-out. For this purpose, there is a corresponding link in every newsletter. This also makes it possible to revoke consent to the storage of personal data collected during the registration process, which includes all data except for the e-mail address. 10. Right to information, right of revocation and right of complaint You have the right to receive information about your personal data stored by us and to have it corrected or deleted in part or in full. You also have the right to revoke or restrict your consent to the use of your personal data at any time with effect for the future.
