How Your Data is Collected

When you register for our webinars using LinkedIn’s registration form, your information is collected in two stages:

1. Via LinkedIn: LinkedIn pre-fills the registration form with your profile details. In this stage, LinkedIn acts as the initial data controller. For details on how LinkedIn handles your data, please review their Privacy Policy.

2. At Centida GmbH: Once you submit your registration, your data is securely shared with us. From that point on, Centida GmbH is responsible for managing your information.

What Data We Collect

Through the LinkedIn registration form, we automatically receive the following details:

  • First Name
  • Last Name
  • Email Address
  • Job Title
  • Company Name
  • Country/Region

How and Why We Use Your Data

We use your personal data for these specific purposes:

1. Webinar Management: To confirm your registration, send you event details, reminders, and any follow-up communications related to the webinar.

2. Marketing Communications (Optional): If you explicitly opt in by checking the marketing consent box during registration, we will send you information about future webinars, events, and other relevant services. You can withdraw your consent at any time by clicking “unsubscribe” in any email or contacting us at info@centida.com.

Legal Basis for Processing

Our processing of your personal data is based on the following legal grounds:

Contractual Necessity: Managing your webinar registration and providing the event service relies on processing your data (GDPR Article 6(1)(b)).

Consent: For any marketing communications, we only process your data if you provide explicit consent (GDPR Article 6(1)(a)). This consent is given through a separate, unchecked marketing box on the registration form.

Data Retention and Deletion

Webinar-Related Communications: We keep your data for up to 12 months after the webinar to ensure you receive all related communications. After 12 months, your information will be securely deleted or anonymized.

Marketing Communications: We retain your data for marketing purposes only as long as you have given your consent. You can withdraw this consent at any time, and we will delete your marketing data accordingly.

This retention period is based on our business needs and legal obligations. Should these needs change, we will update this policy accordingly.

Data Sharing

Internal Use: Your data is used exclusively for managing webinar registrations and communications within Centida GmbH.

No External Third-Party Processors: At this time, we do not use any additional third-party services for processing your webinar registration data. If this changes in the future, we will update this policy accordingly.

How We Protect Your Data

We take your data security seriously and use appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your information. These measures include secure data storage and access controls to ensure that only authorized personnel can access your data.

  • Access: You can request a copy of the data we hold about you.

  • Restriction: You have the right to restrict how your data is processed.
  • Data Portability: You can ask for your data in a structured, commonly used format.
