Privacy Policy

We are very pleased about your interest in our company. Data protection is of particularly high importance for the management of basel fashion week. The use of the Internet pages of basel fashion week is generally possible without providing any personal data. However, if a data subject wants to use special services provided by our company via our website, processing of personal data may become necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we generally obtain the consent of the data subject.
The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, email address, or telephone number of a data subject, is always carried out in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and in compliance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to basel fashion week. With this privacy statement, our company seeks to inform the public about the nature, scope, and purpose of the personal data we collect, use, and process. Furthermore, data subjects are informed of their rights by means of this data protection declaration.
As the controller responsible for processing, basel fashion week has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection of personal data processed through this website. Nevertheless, internet-based data transmissions can generally have security gaps, so absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, each data subject is free to transmit personal data to us by alternative means, for example, by telephone.

1. Definitions
The privacy policy of basel fashion week is based on the terms used by the European legislator for the adoption of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our privacy policy should be easy to read and understand for the public as well as for our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to explain the terminology used in advance.

2. Name and address of the controller
The controller, within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation, other data protection laws applicable in the member states of the European Union, and other provisions with a data protection character, is:
basel fashion week
c/o b.seen GmbH

81379 Munich
Phone: +49 89 716 88 753
Email: sali@munichfw.de

3. Collection of general data and information
Every time the website of basel fashion week is accessed by a data subject or an automated system, a set of general data and information is collected. This general data and information are stored in the server's log files. The data collected may include:
(1) browser types and versions used,
(2) the operating system used by the accessing system,
(3) the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrer),
(4) the sub-websites that are accessed on our website via an accessing system,
(5) the date and time of access to the website,
(6) an Internet Protocol address (IP address),
(7) the Internet service provider of the accessing system, and
(8) other similar data and information that may be used in the event of attacks on our IT systems.

e) Right to restriction of processing
f) Right to data portability
g) Right to object
h) Right to withdraw consent

5. Legal basis for processing

Article 6(1)(a) GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party—such as when processing operations are necessary for the delivery of goods or the provision of another service—the processing is based on Article 6(1)(b) GDPR. The same applies to processing operations necessary for carrying out pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of inquiries about our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation that requires the processing of personal data—such as for compliance with tax obligations—the processing is based on Article 6(1)(c) GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person—for example, if a visitor is injured in our company and his/her data must be passed on to a doctor or hospital. In such cases, processing would be based on Article 6(1)(d) GDPR. Ultimately, processing operations may be based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, which applies when processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights, and freedoms of the data subject do not prevail. Such processing operations are particularly permissible because they were specifically mentioned by the European legislator. He considered that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the controller (Recital 47, Sentence 2 GDPR).

6. Duration for which the personal data is stored

The criterion for the duration of the storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After the expiration of that period, the corresponding data is routinely deleted, provided it is no longer necessary for the fulfillment of the contract or the initiation of a contract.
