1.2. In addition, when you access the JKU website, your internet browser automatically transmits data to the JKU web server for technical reasons (e.g. date and time of access, URL of the referring website, your IP address). This data is stored separately from other data that you enter in the course of using our webshop. The storage of this data/information is necessary, for example, to analyse system misconduct or to clarify abuses.

1.3. Please note that for the purpose of simplifying the shopping process and for the subsequent processing of the contract, the JKU, as the operator of the conference booking system, stores the IP data of the connection owner in cookies, as well as the name, address and payment data (e.g. credit card number of the buyer). The purpose of the use of technically necessary cookies is thus to simplify the use of websites.

1.4. If necessary, JKU will process image and sound material (photographs and videos) of the participants of the 27th International Conference on Model-Driven Engineering Languages and Systems, in unchanged or edited form while respecting their personal rights, for the purpose of documenting and informing the public about the fulfilment of the tasks assigned to JKU, as well as for the overall purpose of reporting through publication on the publicly accessible website and the social media channels (YouTube, Facebook and Instagram) of JKU and, if applicable, also in the local press, journals and magazines (print media as well as online publications via the Internet). 

1.5. For administrative reasons, the sponsors ACM (Association for Computing Machinery) and IEEE Computer Society will have access to participant´s personal data of the participants, namely their names and affiliations.

If you do not wish to have your images and sound recordings published, please let us know!
