Privacy Policy

of Louco Event Media GmbH

Effective: July 31, 2025

Data protection has a particularly high priority for the management of Louco Event Media GmbH. The use of the webpages of Louco Event Media GmbH is generally possible without providing any personal data. However, if a data subject wishes to use special services of 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, e-mail address or telephone number of a data subject—always takes place in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to Louco Event Media. By means of this privacy policy, our company would like to inform the public about the type, scope and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process. Furthermore, this privacy policy informs data subjects of the rights to which they are entitled.

As the controller, Louco Event Media GmbH 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 may generally have security gaps, so absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transmit personal data to us by alternative means, for example by telephone.

The privacy policy of Louco Event Media GmbH 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.

In this privacy policy we use, inter alia, the following terms:

a) Personal data

Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter "data subject"). An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.

b) Data subject

Data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the controller responsible for the processing.

c) Processing

Processing is any operation or set of operations performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organization, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.

d) Restriction of processing

Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting their processing in the future.

e) Profiling

Profiling means any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyze or predict aspects concerning that natural person's performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, location or movements.

f) Pseudonymization

Pseudonymization is the processing of personal data in such a manner that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organizational measures to ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.

g) Controller or controller responsible for processing

Controller or controller responsible for processing is the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data. Where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union or Member State law, the controller or the specific criteria for its nomination may be provided for by Union or Member State law.

h) Processor

Processor is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.

i) Recipient

Recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or another body, to which the personal data are disclosed, whether a third party or not. However, public authorities which may receive personal data in the framework of a particular inquiry in accordance with Union or Member State law shall not be regarded as recipients.

j) Third party

Third party is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or body other than the data subject, controller, processor and persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or processor, are authorized to process personal data.

k) Consent

Consent of the data subject is any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject's wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her.

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 related to data protection is:

The webpages of Louco Event Media GmbH use cookies. Cookies are text files that are placed and stored on a computer system via an internet browser.

Many websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a string through which websites and servers can be assigned to the specific internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This allows visited websites and servers to distinguish the individual browser of the data subject from other internet browsers that contain different cookies. A specific internet browser can be recognized and identified via the unique cookie ID.

Through the use of cookies, Louco Event Media GmbH can provide users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without setting cookies.

By means of a cookie, the information and offers on our website can be optimized with the user in mind. As mentioned, cookies enable us to recognize the users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to utilize our website. For example, the user of a website that uses cookies does not have to enter access data each time they visit the website, because this is taken over by the website and the cookie stored on the user's computer system. Another example is the cookie of a shopping cart in an online shop. The online shop remembers the items that a customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart via a cookie.

The data subject can, at any time, prevent the setting of cookies through our website by means of a corresponding setting of the internet browser used, and may thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. Furthermore, cookies already set may be deleted at any time via an internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all common internet browsers. If the data subject deactivates the setting of cookies in the internet browser used, not all functions of our website may be fully usable.

The website of Louco Event Media GmbH collects a series of general data and information when a data subject or an automated system calls up the website. This general data and information are stored in the server log files. Collected may be (1) the 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 referrers), (4) the sub-webpages which 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) any other similar data and information that may be used in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.

When using these general data and information, Louco Event Media GmbH does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is needed to (1) deliver the content of our website correctly, (2) optimize the content of our website as well as its advertising, (3) ensure the long-term viability of our information technology systems and website technology, and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for criminal prosecution in case of a cyber-attack. These anonymously collected data and information are therefore evaluated by Louco Event Media GmbH statistically and also with the aim of increasing the data protection and data security of our enterprise, and to ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.

The website of Louco Event Media GmbH contains information that enables a quick electronic contact to our enterprise, as well as direct communication with us, which also includes a general address of the so-called electronic mail (e-mail address). If a data subject contacts the controller by e-mail or via a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject are automatically stored. Such personal data transmitted on a voluntary basis by a data subject to the controller are stored for the purpose of processing or contacting the data subject. There is no transfer of this personal data to third parties.

The controller processes and stores the personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage, or insofar as this is granted by the European legislator or another legislator in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject.

If the storage purpose ceases to apply, or if a storage period prescribed by the European legislator or another competent legislator expires, the personal data are routinely blocked or erased in accordance with the legal provisions.

a) Right of confirmation

Every data subject has the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller confirmation as to whether or not personal data concerning him or her are being processed. If a data subject wishes to avail himself or herself of this right of confirmation, he or she may contact an employee of the controller at any time.

b) Right of access

Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller free information about his or her personal data stored at any time and a copy of this information. Furthermore, the European legislator has granted the data subject access to the following information:

  • the purposes of the processing;
  • the categories of personal data concerned;
  • the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data have been or will be disclosed, in particular recipients in third countries or international organizations;
  • where possible, the envisaged period for which the personal data will be stored, or, if not possible, the criteria used to determine that period;
  • the existence of the right to request from the controller rectification or erasure of personal data or restriction of processing concerning the data subject or to object to such processing;
  • the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority;
  • where the personal data are not collected from the data subject, any available information as to their source;
  • the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, referred to in Article 22(1) and (4) GDPR and, at least in those cases, meaningful information about the logic involved, as well as the significance and the envisaged consequences of such processing for the data subject.

Furthermore, the data subject has a right to information as to whether personal data are transferred to a third country or to an international organization. Where this is the case, the data subject also has the right to be informed of the appropriate safeguards relating to the transfer.

If a data subject wishes to exercise this right of access, he or she may contact Louco Event Media GmbH at any time.

c) Right to rectification

Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to obtain the prompt rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning him or her. Taking into account the purposes of the processing, the data subject has the right to have incomplete personal data completed, including by means of a supplementary statement.

If a data subject wishes to exercise this right to rectification, he or she may contact an employee of the controller at any time.

d) Right to erasure (Right to be forgotten)

Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller the erasure of personal data concerning him or her without undue delay where one of the following grounds applies and insofar as the processing is not necessary:

If a data subject wishes to exercise this right to rectification, he or she may contact an employee of the controller at any time.

  • The personal data are no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.
  • The data subject withdraws consent on which the processing is based according to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR, and where there is no other legal ground for the processing.
  • The data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or the data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Art. 21(2) GDPR.
  • The personal data have been unlawfully processed.
  • The personal data must be erased for compliance with a legal obligation in Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject.
  • The personal data have been collected in relation to the offer of information society services referred to in Art. 8(1) GDPR.

If one of the above reasons applies and a data subject wishes to request the erasure of personal data stored by Louco Event Media GmbH, he or she may contact an employee of the controller at any time. Louco Event Media GmbH will ensure that the erasure request is complied with without delay.

Where Louco Event Media GmbH has made personal data public and is obliged as controller pursuant to Art. 17(1) GDPR to erase the personal data, Louco Event Media GmbH, taking account of available technology and the cost of implementation, shall take reasonable steps, including technical measures, to inform other controllers processing the published personal data that the data subject has requested the erasure by such controllers of any links to, or copy or replication of, those personal data, insofar as processing is not required. Louco Event Media GmbH will arrange what is necessary in the individual case.

e) Right to restriction of processing

Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller restriction of processing where one of the following applies:

  • The accuracy of the personal data is contested by the data subject, for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data.
  • The processing is unlawful and the data subject opposes the erasure of the personal data and requests the restriction of their use instead.
  • The controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but they are required by the data subject for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.
  • The data subject has objected to processing pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR pending the verification whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override those of the data subject.

If one of the above conditions is met and a data subject wishes to request the restriction of personal data stored by ONVY HealthTech Group GmbH (sic), he or she may contact an employee of the controller at any time. The employee of Louco Event Media GmbH will arrange the restriction of processing.

f) Right to data portability

Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to receive the personal data concerning him or her, which were provided by the data subject to a controller, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. He or she has the right to transmit those data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to which the personal data have been provided, where the processing is based on consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR, or on a contract pursuant to Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, and the processing is carried out by automated means, provided that the processing is not necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.

In exercising his or her right to data portability pursuant to Art. 20(1) GDPR, the data subject also has the right to have the personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible and when doing so does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.

To assert the right to data portability, the data subject may contact Louco Event Media GmbH at any time.

g) Right to object

Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to object, on grounds relating to his or her particular situation, at any time, to processing of personal data concerning him or her which is based on Art. 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR, including profiling based on those provisions.

Louco Event Media GmbH shall no longer process the personal data in the event of the objection, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or the processing is for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.

Where Louco Event Media GmbH processes personal data for direct marketing purposes, the data subject shall have the right to object at any time to processing of personal data concerning him or her for such marketing. This also applies to profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing. If the data subject objects to Louco Event Media GmbH to the processing for direct marketing purposes, Louco Event Media GmbH will no longer process the personal data for these purposes.

In addition, the data subject has the right, on grounds relating to his or her particular situation, to object to processing of personal data concerning him or her by Louco Event Media GmbH for scientific or historical research purposes, or for statistical purposes pursuant to Art. 89(1) GDPR, unless the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out for reasons of public interest.

To exercise the right to object, the data subject may contact any employee of Louco Event Media GmbH directly or another employee. The data subject is also free, in the context of the use of information society services, notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, to exercise his or her right to object by automated means using technical specifications.

h) Automated individual decision-making, including profiling

Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing—including profiling—which produces legal effects concerning him or her, or similarly significantly affects him or her, unless the decision (1) is necessary for entering into, or performance of, a contract between the data subject and a controller, or (2) is authorized by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard the data subject's rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, or (3) is based on the data subject's explicit consent.

If the decision (1) is necessary for entering into or the performance of a contract between the data subject and the controller, or (2) it is based on the data subject's explicit consent, Louco Event Media GmbH shall implement suitable measures to safeguard the data subject's rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express his or her point of view and to contest the decision.

If the data subject wishes to exercise rights concerning automated decision-making, he or she may contact an employee of the controller at any time.

i) Right to withdraw consent under data protection law

Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to withdraw consent to processing of his or her personal data at any time.

If the data subject wishes to exercise the right to withdraw consent, he or she may contact an employee of the controller at any time.

The controller has integrated components of the company Facebook on this website. Facebook is a social network.

A social network is an internet-based social meeting place, an online community that generally enables users to communicate with each other and interact in the virtual space. A social network can serve as a platform for the exchange of opinions and experiences or allows the internet community to provide personal or company-related information. Facebook allows users of the social network to create private profiles, upload photos and network via friend requests.

The operating company of Facebook is Facebook, Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA. If a data subject lives outside the USA or Canada, the controller responsible for the processing of personal data is Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.

With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this website operated by the controller and on which a Facebook component (Facebook plug-in) has been integrated, the web browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective Facebook component to download a display of the corresponding Facebook component from Facebook. An overview of all Facebook plug-ins can be accessed at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/?locale=de_DE. During this technical procedure, Facebook is made aware of which specific sub-page of our website is visited by the data subject.

If the data subject is logged in at Facebook at the same time, Facebook detects with each call-up to our website by the data subject—and for the entire duration of their stay on our website— which specific sub-page of our website the data subject visited. This information is collected through the Facebook component and associated with the respective Facebook account of the data subject. If the data subject clicks on one of the Facebook buttons integrated on our website, for example the "Like" button, or submits a comment, Facebook assigns this information to the personal Facebook user account of the data subject and stores this personal data.

Facebook always receives information via the Facebook component that the data subject has visited our website if the data subject is logged in at Facebook at the time of the call-up to our website; this occurs regardless of whether the person clicks on the Facebook component or not. If such a transmission of information to Facebook is not desirable for the data subject, then he or she may prevent this by logging out of their Facebook account before a call-up to our website is made.

The data policy published by Facebook, which is available at https://de-de.facebook.com/about/privacy/ provides information about the collection, processing and use of personal data by Facebook. It also explains which settings Facebook offers to protect the privacy of the data subject. In addition, various applications are available which make it possible to suppress data transmission to Facebook. Such applications can be used by the data subject to suppress data transmission to Facebook.

The controller has integrated components of the service Instagram on this website. Instagram is a service that may be qualified as an audiovisual platform and allows users to share photos and videos as well as disseminate such data in other social networks.

The operating company of Instagram's services is Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.

With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this website operated by the controller and on which an Instagram component (Insta button) has been integrated, the internet browser on the IT system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective Instagram component to download a display of the corresponding component from Instagram. During this technical procedure Instagram is made aware of which specific sub-page of our website is visited by the data subject.

If the data subject is logged in at Instagram at the same time, Instagram detects with each call-up to our website by the data subject—and for the entire duration of their stay on our website— which specific sub-page the data subject visits. This information is collected through the Instagram component and is associated by Instagram with the respective Instagram account of the data subject. If the data subject clicks on one of the Instagram buttons integrated on our website, the data and information transferred thereby are assigned to the personal Instagram user account of the data subject and stored and processed by Instagram.

Instagram receives information via the Instagram component that the data subject has visited our website whenever the data subject is logged in at Instagram at the time of the call-up to our website; this occurs regardless of whether the person clicks on the Instagram component or not. If such transmission of information to Instagram is not desirable for the data subject, they can prevent the transmission by logging out of their Instagram account before a call-up to our website is made.

The controller has integrated components of LinkedIn Corporation on this website. LinkedIn is an internet-based social network that enables users to connect with existing business contacts and make new business contacts. Over 400 million registered people use LinkedIn in more than 200 countries. LinkedIn is currently the largest platform for business contacts and one of the most visited websites in the world.

The operating company of LinkedIn is LinkedIn Corporation, 2029 Stierlin Court, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. For data protection matters outside the USA, LinkedIn Ireland, Privacy Policy Issues, Wilton Plaza, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland, is responsible.

With each retrieval of one of the individual pages of this website on which a LinkedIn component (LinkedIn plug-in) is integrated, the component causes the browser used by the data subject to download a corresponding display of the component from LinkedIn. Further information about the LinkedIn plug-ins can be accessed at https://developer.linkedin.com/plugins. During this technical procedure LinkedIn is informed about which specific sub-page of our website is visited by the data subject.

If the data subject is logged in at LinkedIn at the same time, LinkedIn recognizes with each retrieval of our website by the data subject—and for the entire duration of their stay on our website— which specific sub-page of our website the data subject visits. This information is collected through the LinkedIn component and associated by LinkedIn with the respective LinkedIn account of the data subject. If the data subject clicks on a LinkedIn button integrated on our website, LinkedIn assigns this information to the personal LinkedIn user account of the data subject and stores this personal data.

LinkedIn receives information via the LinkedIn component that the data subject has visited our website whenever the data subject is logged in at LinkedIn at the time of the call-up to our website; this occurs regardless of whether the person clicks on the LinkedIn component or not. If such transmission of information to LinkedIn is not desirable for the data subject, he or she can prevent the transmission by logging out of their LinkedIn account before a call-up to our website is made.

LinkedIn offers the option to unsubscribe from e-mail messages, SMS messages and targeted ads, as well as manage ad settings, at https://www.linkedin.com/psettings/guest-controls.

The controller has integrated components of Xing on this website. Xing is an internet-based social network that enables users to connect with existing business contacts and make new business contacts. Individual users can create a personal profile on Xing. Companies can, for example, create company profiles or publish job offers on Xing.

The operating company of Xing is XING SE, Dammtorstraße 30, 20354 Hamburg, Germany.

With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this website operated by the controller and on which a Xing component (Xing plug-in) has been integrated, the internet browser on the IT system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective Xing component to download a display of the corresponding component from Xing. Further information on the Xing plug-ins can be retrieved at https://dev.xing.com/plugins. During this technical procedure Xing receives knowledge of which specific sub-page of our website is visited by the data subject.

If the data subject is logged in at Xing at the same time, Xing recognizes with each call-up to our website by the data subject—and for the entire duration of their stay on our website— which specific sub-page of our website the data subject visits. This information is collected through the Xing component and associated by Xing with the respective Xing account of the data subject. If the data subject clicks on one of the Xing buttons integrated on our website, for example the "Share" button, Xing assigns this information to the personal Xing user account of the data subject and stores this personal data.

Xing receives information via the Xing component that the data subject has visited our website whenever the data subject is logged in at Xing at the time of the call-up to our website; this occurs regardless of whether the person clicks on the Xing component or not. If such transmission of information to Xing is not desirable for the data subject, he or she can prevent the transmission by logging out of their Xing account before a call-up to our website is made.

The privacy policies published by Xing, which are available at https://www.xing.com/privacy, provide information on the collection, processing and use of personal data by Xing. Xing has also published data protection notices for the XING Share Button at https://www.xing.com/app/share?op=data_protection.

Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR serves as the legal basis for our company 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—as is the case, for example, with processing operations which are necessary for a supply of goods or the provision of any other service or consideration—the processing is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations that are necessary for carrying out pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of inquiries concerning our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation by which processing of personal data is required, such as for the fulfillment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 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 of another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were injured in our enterprise and his or her name, age, health insurance data or other vital information had to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third parties. Then the processing would be based on Art. 6(1)(d) GDPR. Lastly, processing operations could be based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. This legal basis is used for processing operations which are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases, if the processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject. Such processing operations are particularly permitted because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. He considered that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a client of the controller (Recital 47, sentence 2 GDPR).

Where the processing of personal data is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, our legitimate interest is the conduct of our business activities for the well-being of all our employees and our shareholders.

The criterion used to determine the period of storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After expiry of that period, the corresponding data are routinely deleted, provided they are no longer necessary for the fulfillment of the contract or the initiation of a contract.

We inform you that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g., tax regulations) or may also result from contractual provisions (e.g., information about the contractual partner). Sometimes it may be necessary, for the conclusion of a contract, that a data subject provides us with personal data which must subsequently be processed by us. The data subject is, for example, obliged to provide us with personal data if our company concludes a contract with him or her. Failure to provide the personal data would result in the contract with the data subject not being concluded. Before personal data are provided by the data subject, the data subject must contact one of our employees. Our employee will clarify to the data subject, on a case-by-case basis, whether the provision of the personal data is required by law or contract or is necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data, and the consequences of failure to provide the personal data.

As a responsible company, we do not use automatic decision-making or profiling.
