2. categories of personal data
We process photo and film recordings and, where applicable, names and first names that we make and collect on various occasions:
- a) Internal events attended exclusively by employees and guests of the Circular Valley Foundation
b ) Open events in which external parties also participate, e.g. actions for external parties (e.g. company presentations, information events, award ceremonies, trade fairs), If we wish to honor and/or highlight individuals, additional personal data (your first and last name) will be collected and processed in addition to the photographs and film footage. Insofar as photo or movie recordings reveal indications of your ethnic origin, religion or health (e.g. skin color, headgear, glasses), we also process these. The photos are taken in the context of the events and occasions. They are taken either by employees of the Marketing & Communications department or by external photographers who are, of course, involved in accordance with data protection law and whom we prohibit from using the photographs for their own purposes.
3. aim and purpose of the processing of the personal data
We take photographs and film footage of various events and occasions to document our activities and information about our company. In addition, we use the photographs and film footage to report on our events and to make the content of the events accessible to a wider public:
- a) Internal events
The photographs and film footage of internal events may be published on our intranet and used in internal presentations. On request, we will also be happy to make them available to you, insofar as this is permissible under data protection law.
- b) Open events
The pictures of the open events will be published if necessary:
– on the homepage of our company
– on the following social media channels of our company: Xing, Youtube, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn and Twitter
– in flyers
– in the annual report
– on the intranet
– in internal and external presentations
– Press (print) and their online editions
– TV stations (ARD, WDR, ZDF) including the stations’ homepages and social media channels)
4. legal basis for the processing of personal data
The production of photographs and film recordings as well as their publication is based on the following regulations:
- a) Consent
If you have given us your consent for the production and publication of photographs and films, your personal data will be processed on the basis of Art. 6 (1) a DSGVO. You can revoke your consent at any time. Consent that has been given can be revoked at any time. Please note that the revocation is only effective for the future. Processing that took place before the revocation is not affected by this (more on this below): We obtain your consent for the production of photographs and films when we produce portraits and close-ups of individuals, as well as for the production of images of children. Furthermore, we always ask for your consent – in addition to the legal permission explained below – if this is possible for us with reasonable effort. Unfortunately, this is not possible for large events.
- b) Balancing of interests to protect our legitimate interests
The production and publication of overview and group shots (photo and film) of events, which do not specifically show or depict individual persons in portrait/close-up or children and which are aimed at showing only the character of the event, is in our overriding legitimate interests in documenting our activities, reporting on our activities and preserving memories. In this case, the processing of your personal data is based on Art. 6 (1) p. 1 letter f DS-GVO. According to Art. 9 (2) e DS-GVO, this also applies to indications of your ethnic origin, religion or health (e.g. skin color, headgear, glasses) resulting from the photo and film recordings.
5. recipients of the data or categories of recipients
Your data (photographs and film footage) will be viewed internally by the Marketing and Communications department in our company for the aforementioned purposes. We do not publish any photos or movie footage without first reviewing them. In the case of publications on the intranet, the data will be passed on to the IT department in our company. If we have used the services of external photographers, we receive the digital photo files from them. The internal route of the photographs is then as described above. If we publish photo and film recordings on social media channels, the data will be transmitted there and also processed by the operators of the social media platforms.

You do not have to allow yourself to be photographed and/or filmed by us and/or provide us with your first and last name, if applicable. You also do not have to give us your consent to take and publish photographs/film footage. If you do not wish to be photographed/filmed, please inform the photographer immediately. This will not cause you any disadvantages. If you do not want to be photographed/filmed but notice a camera pointing in your direction, please turn away.
You also have the option of informing us at info@circulartechforum.de that you do not wish to be photographed/filmed.
In addition, you can also inform us if you agree to be photographed but not to all or some forms of the specified publication. If, despite all the aforementioned measures, there are photo and/or film recordings of you and you have informed us directly at the event or afterwards about your lack of consent, we will delete these images unless there is legal permission for further processing. If you have informed us of your lack of consent for publication, we will ensure that no publication takes place.
9. Transfer of data to a third country
Our data processing takes place in Germany and in the EU, a transfer of data to a third country or an international organization does not take place. However, a transfer of photo and film recordings to a third country outside the EU may occur if the recordings are published on a social media channel and the operator of the social media platform is located outside the EU. The parent companies of Google, Facebook, Instagram and Twitter are located in the USA, so your data may also be transferred there. Circular Valley has agreed with Google, Facebook, Instagram and Twitter that the European companies of Google, Facebook, Instagram and Twitter are responsible for fulfilling data subjects’ rights under Articles 15-20 of the GDPR with respect to personal data stored by Google, Facebook, Instagram and Twitter after joint processing.
