Dear guests and esteemed colleagues,

In an era where data interoperability and digital health solutions are crucial, openEHR stands at the forefront of these advancements, offering a robust framework for the secure, efficient, and meaningful processing of health data.

We encourage you to engage actively, share your insights, and to build up new connections. This platform is not only a venue for learning but also for collaboration, where we can collectively drive forward innovations to enhance patient care and improve healthcare systems worldwide.

The event will take place all day in Berlin and will be broadcast virtually in parallel.

HiGHmed e.V.

HiGHmed aims to build data integration centers at clinical locations, that will allow data, information and knowledge from healthcare and medical research to be linked across sites. To achieve this, HiGHmed strictly relies on open information infrastructures and interoperability standards for efficient data processing.

HiGHmed e.V., based in Heidelberg/Germany, was founded within the HiGHmed project as an independent legal association and is supported by 14 leading centers of (university) medicine in Germany. The main focus of the association’s activities includes the exploitation and dissemination of HiGHmed’s main project results, the acquisition and integration of new clinical partners into the network and the independent conduction of research projects in this context. The association also builds up sustainable and interdisciplinary cooperations with institutions and individuals from industry, science and government organizations and therefore aims to support a public discussion and dissemination of developments in these areas.

1. Introduction

In the following, we provide information about the collection of personal data when using

  • our website https://universal-berlin.de
  • our profiles in social media.

Personal data is any data that can be related to a specific natural person, such as their name or IP address.


1.1. Contact details

The controller within the meaning of Art. 4 para. 7 EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is UNIVERSAL Kongress & Event Marketing GmbH, Musäusstraße 6, 14195 Berlin, Germany, email: info@universal-berlin.de. We are legally represented by Claudia Böckermann.

Our data protection officer can be reached via heyData GmbH, Schützenstraße 5, 10117 Berlin, www.heydata.eu, E-Mail: datenschutz@heydata.eu.


1.2. Scope of data processing, processing purposes and legal bases

We detail the scope of data processing, processing purposes and legal bases below. In principle, the following come into consideration as the legal basis for data processing:

  • Art. 6 para. 1 s. 1 it. a GDPR serves as our legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent.
  • Art. 6 para. 1 s. 1 lit. b GDPR is the legal basis insofar as the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract, e.g. if a site visitor purchases a product from us or we perform a service for him. This legal basis also applies to processing that is necessary for pre-contractual measures, such as in the case of inquiries about our products or services.
  • Art. 6 para. 1 s. 1 lit. c GDPR applies if we fulfill a legal obligation by processing personal data, as may be the case, for example, in tax law.
  • Art. 6 para. 1 s. 1 lit. f GDPR serves as the legal basis when we can rely on legitimate interests to process personal data, e.g. for cookies that are necessary for the technical operation of our website.

1.3. Data processing outside the EEA

Insofar as we transfer data to service providers or other third parties outside the EEA, the security of the data during the transfer is guaranteed by adequacy decisions of the EU Commission, insofar as they exist (e.g. for Great Britain, Canada and Israel) (Art. 45 para. 3 GDPR).

If no adequacy decision exists (e.g. for the USA), the legal basis for the data transfer are usually, i.e. unless we indicate otherwise, standard contractual clauses. These are a set of rules adopted by the EU Commission and are part of the contract with the respective third party. According to Art. 46 para. 2 lit. b GDPR, they ensure the security of the data transfer. Many of the providers have given contractual guarantees that go beyond the standard contractual clauses to protect the data. These include, for example, guarantees regarding the encryption of data or regarding an obligation on the part of the third party to notify data subjects if law enforcement agencies wish to access the respective data.


1.4. Storage duration

Unless expressly stated in this privacy policy, the data stored by us will be deleted as soon as they are no longer required for their intended purpose and no legal obligations to retain data conflict with the deletion. If the data are not deleted because they are required for other and legally permissible purposes, their processing is restricted, i.e. the data are blocked and not processed for other purposes. This applies, for example, to data that must be retained for commercial or tax law reasons.


1.5. Rights of data subjects

Data subjects have the following rights against us with regard to their personal data:

  • Right of access,
  • Right to correction or deletion,
  • Right to limit processing,
  • Right to object to the processing,
  • Right to data transferability,
  • Right to revoke a given consent at any time.

Data subjects also have the right to complain to a data protection supervisory authority about the processing of their personal data. Contact details of the data protection supervisory authorities are available at https://www.bfdi.bund.de/EN/Service/Anschriften/Laender/Laender-node.html.


1.6. Obligation to provide data

Within the scope of the business or other relationship, customers, prospective customers or third parties need to provide us with personal data that is necessary for the establishment, execution and termination of a business or other relationship or that we are legally obliged to collect. Without this data, we will generally have to refuse to conclude the contract or to provide a service or will no longer be able to perform an existing contract or other relationship.
Mandatory data are marked as such.


1.7. No automatic decision making in individual cases

As a matter of principle, we do not use a fully automated decision-making process in accordance with article 22 GDPR to establish and implement the business or other relationship. Should we use these procedures in individual cases, we will inform of this separately if this is required by law.


1.8. Making contact

When contacting us, e.g. by e-mail or telephone, the data provided to us (e.g. names and e-mail addresses) will be stored by us in order to answer questions. The legal basis for the processing is our legitimate interest (Art. 6 para. 1 s. 1 lit. f GDPR) to answer inquiries directed to us. We delete the data accruing in this context after the storage is no longer necessary or restrict the processing if there are legal retention obligations.


1.9. Customer surveys

From time to time, we conduct customer surveys to get to know our customers and their wishes better. In doing so, we collect the data requested in each case. It is our legitimate interest to get to know our customers and their wishes better, so that the legal basis for the associated data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 s. 1 lit f GDPR. We delete the data when the results of the surveys have been evaluated.


2. Data processing on our website

2.1. Notice for website visitors from Germany

Our website stores information in the terminal equipment of website visitors (e.g. cookies) or accesses information that is already stored in the terminal equipment (e.g. IP addresses). What information this is in detail can be found in the following sections.

This storage and access is based on the following provisions:

  • Insofar as this storage or access is absolutely necessary for us to provide the service of our website expressly requested by website visitors (e.g., to carry out a chatbot used by the website visitor or to ensure the IT security of our website), it is carried out on the basis of Section 25 para. 2 no. 2 of the German Telecommunications Telemedia Data Protection Act (Telekommunikation-Digitale-Dienste-Datenschutz-Gesetz, "TDDDG").
  • Otherwise, this storage or access takes place on the basis of the website visitor's consent (Section 25 para. 1 TDDDG).

The subsequent data processing is carried out in accordance with the following sections and on the basis of the provisions of the GDPR.


2.2. Informative use of our website

During the informative use of the website, i.e. when site visitors do not separately transmit information to us, we collect the personal data that the browser transmits to our server in order to ensure the stability and security of our website. This is our legitimate interest, so that the legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 s. 1 lit. f GDPR.

These data are:

  • IP address
  • Date and time of the request
  • Time zone difference to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT)
  • Content of the request (specific page)
  • Access status/HTTP status code
  • Amount of data transferred in each case
  • Website from which the request comes
  • Browser
  • Operating system and its interface
  • Language and version of the browser software.

This data is also stored in log files. They are deleted when their storage is no longer necessary, at the latest after 14 days


2.3. Web hosting and provision of the website

Our website is hosted by Ionos. The provider is 1&1 IONOS SE, Elgendorfer Str. 57, 56410 Montabaur. In doing so, the provider processes the personal data transmitted via the website, e.g. content, usage, meta/communication data or contact data, in the EU. Further information can be found in the provider's privacy policy at https://www.ionos.co.uk/terms-gtc/privacy-policy/#c4183.

It is our legitimate interest to provide a website, so the legal basis of the described data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 s. 1 lit. f GDPR.

Our website is hosted by Hetzner. The provider is Hetzner Online GmbH, Industriestr. 25, 91710 Gunzenhausen. In doing so, the provider processes the personal data transmitted via the website, e.g. content, usage, meta/communication data or contact data, in the EU. Further information can be found in the provider's privacy policy at https://www.hetzner.com/rechtliches/datenschutz?country=de.

It is our legitimate interest to provide a website, so the legal basis of the described data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 s. 1 lit. f GDPR.

Our website is hosted by United Domains. The provider is united-domains AG, Gautinger Straße 10, 82319 Starnberg. In doing so, the provider processes the personal data transmitted via the website, e.g. content, usage, meta/communication data or contact data, in the EU. Further information can be found in the provider's privacy policy at https://www.uniteddomains.de/unternehmen/datenschutz/.

It is our legitimate interest to provide a website, so the legal basis of the described data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 s. 1 lit. f GDPR.

We use the content delivery network Cloudflare for our website. The provider is Cloudflare, Inc., 101 Townsend St., San Francisco, CA 94107, USA. The provider thereby processes the personal data transmitted via the website, e.g. content, usage, meta/communication data or contact data in the USA. Further information can be found in the provider's privacy policy at https://www.cloudflare.com/privacypolicy/.

We have a legitimate interest in using sufficient storage and delivery capacity to ensure optimal data throughput even during large peak loads. Therefore, the legal basis of the described data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 s. 1 lit. f GDPR.

Legal basis of the transfer to a country outside the EEA are standard contractual clauses. The security of the data transferred to the third country (i.e. a country outside the EEA) is guaranteed by standard data protection clauses (Art. 46 para. 2 lit. c GDPR) adopted by the EU Commission in accordance with the examination procedure under Art. 93 para. 2 of the GDPR, which we have agreed to with the provider.


2.4. Contact form

When contacting us via the contact form on our website, we store the data requested there and the content of the message.

The legal basis for the processing is our legitimate interest in answering inquiries directed to us. The legal basis for the processing is therefore Art. 6 para. 1 s. 1 lit. f GDPR. We delete the data accruing in this context after the storage is no longer necessary or restrict the processing if there are legal retention obligations.

Parthen Impact bv, Stroombaan 4, 1181 VX Amstelveen, Netherlands.

The legal basis of the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 s. 1 lit. b GDPR, as it is necessary for the performance of the contract.
