Controller and data protection officer
Mesago Messe Frankfurt GmbH (‘Mesago’), Rotebühlstr. 83 – 85, 70178 Stuttgart, Germany, email: info@mesago.com (hereinafter also referred to as ‘we’) is the controller responsible for processing personal data in connection with this website and the services provided through it within the meaning of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). If you have any questions or comments relating to data protection, please contact the data protection officer of Mesago Messe Frankfurt GmbH (address: see above, email: privacy@mesago.com).
Purposes and legal basis for the processing of personal data
As part of the range of services we offer, we process personal data concerning you in order to provide customer-oriented services. Wherever possible, we will give you the opportunity to decide freely which data you wish to share with us.
We will process your data for the purposes described below on the legal basis indicated in each case:
We require your consent for certain processing purposes and we will request this from you separately at the relevant points. In these cases, our legal basis for processing your data is Article 6(1)(a) GDPR. For instance, this is the case when we carry out direct advertising by phone or email. Additionally, you can sign up to receive further editorial newsletters, such as by email, as part of some of our services. For more information, including on your right to withdraw your consent, see the section Editorial newsletters (e.g. by email) and email performance measurement.
Our website uses products from other providers, which use technology such as cookies for the purposes of analytics, statistical analysis, targeting and retargeting in order to show you advertisements, for example. This also takes place on the basis of your consent. For information on the processing of data using such cookie-based technology, the processing tools used and your rights to block the use of these technical processing methods, see the Cookie policy section.
You may withdraw your consent at any time with future effect. For more information, see the section Your rights and the following sections, which describe processing methods that require your consent (e.g. under Editorial newsletters (e.g. by email) and email performance measurement or Cookie policy).
If a contract is concluded between us, we will process your data in order to perform the contract on the basis of Article 6(1)(b) GDPR. This is necessary for the following purposes in particular:
- Purchasing of products or services for which a contractual relationship is established with you
- Registration for events (online/offline), e.g. public or private trade fairs or events. In this case, we will process your personal data in order to help participants to plan, sign up for, participate in and follow up on an event and to provide them with all necessary and useful information.
- Registration on portals and use of information services, e.g. to provide specialist information with which you can learn more about the products and services on offer in each sector or provide more information about your own products and services
- Personalisation of our website in order to provide you with an excellent user experience when you use our portals:
If you have registered for one of our services or offers and acknowledged our General Terms of Use for Registered Users, we will process your personal data in order to provide you with an excellent user experience in the media landscape of Mesago tailored to your personal requirements and interests, and provide you with tailored offers which are consistent with your information and communication requirements. We strive to provide a customised experience using the media landscape of Mesago in which the content is personalised for the user; this is also one of our contractual obligations towards you.
- Provision of specific services such as advice on the development and execution of advertising campaigns and advice on how to optimise the success of your advertisements, as well as the enrichment of your customer master data, market research, advice on and the execution of events for customers or employees, agency services and communication services.
- Provision of the service in order to enable you to carry out your own advertising on our communication channels, e.g. in our printed products, on our online portals, in our newsletters or as a partner in connection with exhibitions or other events.
- Provision of user-generated content, e.g. by posting comments on articles available on the portals or composing bylined articles on the basis of our General Terms of Use for Registered Users or separate author agreements.
- Processing and billing if you use one of our premium services.
In cases other than those listed above, the processing is based on the need to protect our legitimate interests pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, especially to provide customer-oriented services and advertise identical and similar products from our range. In these cases, data is processed for the following purposes:
- To advertise products and services and to provide users and customers with information more effectively based on their interests and requirements.
- To tailor our website to the needs of users.
- To assess the success of our advertising.
- Market research, e.g. in the form of online surveys.
- To attract new customers.
- To get in touch in order to promote events.
- To send email advertisements promoting similar goods or services if we have received your email address from you through the sale of goods or services (see Section 7(3) of the German Act Against Unfair Competition (UWG)).
If the processing is based on our legitimate interests, you have a right to object (see Your rights below).
We are required by mandatory statutory regulations to collect and process certain data. In this case, the processing is based on Article 6(1)(c) GDPR. This is the case, for example, if we are required by law to disclose data to law enforcement agencies or if we are required by statutory regulations, such as those of commercial or tax law, to retain data for a specific period of time.
Which personal data is processed?
We process the data that we require for the purposes described in this privacy policy. If you are a registered user, we process your name, your function and position in the company, your job title, your field of activity, the sector in which your company operates and the markets in which your company is or would like to be active. We also process your address and the contact information, which we may also use to contact you electronically. If you are already a customer, we store all of the financial data we need to bill you for our services, potentially including your bank details, your rates with us and tax-related data.
If you write articles for us as an author (e.g. as a contributing user in accordance with section 5.2 of our General Terms of Use for Registered Users), we process your articles, authorship and information and communication with you relating to the performance of the contract. Additionally, under copyright law, we are obliged to publish your name as the author unless you expressly waive your right to be named as the author. This applies to all types of use and media on which the article is published as described in section 5.3.6 of the General Terms of Use for Registered Users.
In order to optimise our products and services, we may also store data that, for instance, is publicly available online from your company, or check that your data is up to date by comparing it against data from suitable freely available databases. This is predominantly done using automated technical processes based on crawling technology.
We also collect data relating to your interests, which we derive from your enquiries and use of our online portals, since we strive to only make you offers that are consistent with your preferences and interests. Where we use technical means to do this, e.g. based on cookie technology, you can find more information and details on your rights in this regard under Cookie policy.
For the purposes of measuring the success of our editorial newsletters (see Editorial newsletters (e.g. by email) and email performance measurement), we process information on which messages and offers you open and click on. This is also part of the contractual services we provide you, e.g. on the basis of our General Terms of Use for Registered Users.
Some data is also transferred automatically. For example, your computer automatically sends us information such as your IP address, browser type and the dates and times of your visits when you use our online portals. We require this data in order to optimise how our website is displayed by your hardware.
Duration of storage of your personal data
We will store your data for as long as is necessary to provide our services and/or execute the contract with you or for as long as we have a legitimate interest in continuing to store the data.
Where we process data on the basis of your consent or one of our legitimate interests and receive your withdrawal of consent or objection, the data in question will no longer be processed for the related purpose and will be erased unless exceptions are provided for by law. This notwithstanding, any data to which retention obligations apply under commercial or tax law will be erased when the statutory deadlines expire.
Finally, the duration of storage is also determined by the statutory limitation periods which, for example, can be up to 30 years under Section 195 et seq. of the German Commercial Code (BGB), although the regular limitation period is three years.
Under certain circumstances, it will be necessary to store your data for even longer if, for example, a ban is imposed on the deletion of the data for the duration of official or judicial proceedings.
For more information on the duration of storage of the cookies we use, see the section Cookie policy.
Editorial newsletters (e.g. by email) and email performance measurement
Users of our website can subscribe to free editorial newsletters. The data you are prompted to provide during the registration process is transferred to us:
- First name and surname
- Company name
- Business email address
- Job title
- Field of activity
- Department
- Career stage
- Main sector and sub-sector
- Company size
- Interests, if applicable
Additionally, the following (usually technical) data is collected when you log in:
- IP address of the computer accessing the website
- Date and time of registration
Your consent to the processing of the data will be requested as part of the registration process and you will be referred to this privacy policy. For the exact wording of the declaration of consent and more information on your consent, click here.
After a user registers, the legal basis for the processing of data is the performance of the contract in accordance with Article 6(1)(b) GDPR, or the user’s consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR). The same applies to sending the editorial newsletters; an additional legal basis is provided here by Section 7(2) no. 3 UWG.
We collect your email address in order to send you the newsletter. We collect other personal data as part of the registration process in order to prevent misuse of the services or of the email address you use.
The data is erased as soon as it is no longer necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, or if you withdraw your consent. As such, we will store your email address for as long as you remain subscribed to editorial newsletters.
Right to unsubscribe from the newsletter
You can unsubscribe from editorial newsletters and withdraw the consent you have granted in this context at any time. For this purpose, every editorial newsletter contains a link which you can click in order to unsubscribe. Alternatively, you can unsubscribe via the email address info@mesago.com or you can change your account settings (e.g. under ‘My Account’) in order to opt out of receiving individual newsletters, provided that this option is available on the portal for which you have registered and from which you receive editorial newsletters by email. The withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
We measure the performance of our editorial newsletters by analysing how many of the emails are opened and analysing clicks within them. We use this technology to determine the level of interest in certain subjects and gauge the effectiveness of our communication measures. We use the success measurement data analysed to fulfil our contractual duty to provide you with a personalised user experience in our media landscape on the basis of the contract you enter into with us when you register for our services (see Purposes and legal bases). The legal basis for this is provided by point (b) of Article 6(1) GDPR. Where the analysis is not for the performance of the contract, the legal basis is our legitimate interest in evaluation in accordance with point (f) of Article 6(1) GDPR.
Right to object to performance measurement
When you exercise your right to withdraw your consent to receiving editorial newsletters (see above), you can at the same time object to the processing of your data for the purposes of performance measurement. Furthermore, you can terminate the contract on which your registration for our services is based or, if you are a consumer, withdraw from it within 14 days of formation of the contract (for more details, see the terms of use of the service in question). In the event of termination or withdrawal by a consumer, we will delete your user account and all of your data, excluding any data that is subject to a statutory retention obligation, and discontinue success measurement at the same time.
Recipients of data
Mesago Network
Within the Mesago Network [including the partners of Mesago and their affiliates within the meaning of Section 15 et seq. AktG], the data is processed centrally by the Mesago and used for the purposes described under Purposes and legal bases under the shared responsibility of the companies involved. A list of the companies in the Mesago Network is available here. They are subject to additional contractual obligations under a separate data protection agreement whereby they are joint controllers (Article 26 GDPR) and their processing of your data is limited to the purposes described in this privacy policy. If you wish to exercise your rights as described under ‘Exercising your rights’, please address your declaration to Mesago Messe Frankfurt GmbH using the contact information provided under ‘Our contact information’. However, you are also free to exercise your rights against any other company of the Mesago Network [or the involved partners and their affiliates within the meaning of Section 15 et seq. AktG].
Processing
In some cases, we rely on service providers to process personal data on our behalf. By means of a data processing agreement, we have bound these service providers to us such that they may only process the data for our business purposes and in line with our instructions. First and foremost, the service providers include technical service providers (including affiliates) which maintain, host and support our IT infrastructure, including this website, and service providers which send emails, carry out lead campaigns and perform other marketing activities.
Tracking and other cookie technology service providers
Tracking and other cookie-based technical procedures in place on our website are performed by third parties and data is transferred to these third parties in this context. For information on the cookie methods used and the corresponding third-party providers that provide the technical tools, see the section Cookie policy.
Disclosure of your data to third parties
With your consent, we also share your data with customers whose services you have accessed on one of our online portals (e.g. the white paper of a certain manufacturer). When you access the service, we will notify you of the company in question and, when downloading, you can decide whether or not you wish to consent to the use of your data by that company and download that third-party service. These companies are themselves controllers within the meaning of the data protection legislation. This sharing of data is only for the purposes of advertising, market research and opinion surveys.
Articles and other published information about the authors can be accessed by registered users all over the world. When articles are published on digital media, they can be found using search engines and linked with other information, which may facilitate the creation of personality profiles in relation to the authors. If you consent to being published, the content can ‘multiply’ as the original publication is shared; we have no influence over sharing by users and the content may be used for purposes over which we have no control.
Data transfers to third countries
As a rule, we do not transfer your data to other countries, third countries (i.e. countries that are not members of the European Union or the European Economic Area) or international organisations. However, in exceptional cases, data may be transferred to third countries if this is necessary for the performance of services for you, required by law or you have consented to it. Some of the service providers that process personal data for us are situated in third countries that do not offer the same level of protection for your personal data as in the EU, whether due to a lack of laws, a lack of rights or a lack of regulation in those countries. Some recipients, especially the providers of social media channels or registered users who process your data, are also situated in such third countries. Personal data is only transferred to such third countries outside of the EU if the European Commission has decided that there is an adequate level of protection for personal data (Article 45(3) GDPR; see here) or if safeguards as described in Article 46 GDPR have been provided for, especially standard data protection clauses adopted by the European Commission in accordance with point (c) of Article 46(2) GDPR (see here). You can request a copy of these (e.g. by email) – see Controller and data protection officer above for contact information.
Additionally, information on any transfer of your data to third countries is available in the privacy policies of the recipients that transfer data to third countries. You can find details in the sections of this privacy policy in which we describe the services where such transfers to third countries are relevant, especially regarding our cookie-based processing in the section Cookie policy.

We shall also notify you separately by email of any contractual changes which, for example, affect the processing of your data for the purposes of performing a contract or personalising our website.

Application | Google Analytics Remarketing |
Provider | Google Ireland Ltd, Google Building Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland |
Storage period | 26 months |
What is done? |
Google Analytics Remarketing builds on the analysis and statistical data obtained via Google Analytics and uses this data for the interest-based delivery of advertisements on other websites within the Google Display Network. We also use Google Remarketing across multiple devices. This means, for example, that if you start using one of our services on your smartphone and continue on your laptop, we can also reach you with the aforementioned personalized advertising messages on your other device. However, we will only do this if you have consented to Google linking your web and app browsing history to your Google Account and information from your Google Account will be used to personalize ads displayed to you on the web. In this case, Google will use the information about these registered users together with data from Google Analytics to create and define target audience lists for cross-device remarketing. To support this feature, Google Analytics collects Google-authenticated IDs of these users. This Google data is temporarily linked to our Google Analytics data identifying our target audience. Please check your Google Account privacy settings to prevent Google from associating your web and app browsing history with your Google Account. |
Why it is done? | This technology enables us to again reach users who have already visited our websites and online services and are interested in the offer through targeted advertising on the pages of the Google Partner Network. Display of advertising is achieved through the use of cookies, which are small text files that are stored on the user's computer. The text files can be used to analyze user behavior of website visitors and then used for targeted product recommendations and interest-based advertising. |

Application | Facebook Custom Audience (pixel method) |
Provider | Facebook Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland |
Storage period | Permanent function of the pixel and technical transmission of data to Facebook, no storage of user device data at Vogel |
What is done? |
We use the remarketing function Facebook "Custom Audiences" on our website via the pixel method. This service allows us to target you with advertisements by placing Facebook ads for visitors to our websites when they visit the social network Facebook. For this purpose we have implemented so-called remarketing pixels from Facebook on our websites. When visiting our websites, the pixel establishes a direct connection to the Facebook servers. Facebook is able to identify you by your browser ID, as this is linked to other data stored by Facebook about your user account. Facebook will then deliver individualized advertisements from us, tailored to your needs, in your Facebook chronicle or elsewhere on Facebook. We are unable to identify you personally via the Facebook pixel, since no further personal data apart from your browser ID is stored by us via the Facebook remarketing pixel. |
Why it is done? | Thus, interest-based advertisements can be shown to users of the websites ("Facebook Ads") when they visit the social network Facebook or other websites also using this method. Our goal is to display advertisements that are of interest to you in order to make our website more appealing for you. |

Application | business AD |
Provider | Tersteegenstraße 30, 40474 Düsseldorf |
Storage period | Google users who are logged in have the possibility to delete cookies themselves, but Google also commits itself to anonymizing and deleting user data from the log files. Google anonymizes IP addresses through partial deletions after 9 months. Additional cookie or advertising IDs are deleted from the log files after 18 months. |
What is done? | To record user behavior, a cookie is stored on your computer, but no personal identification of your person is possible. BusinessAD does not collect any personal data in the course of advertisement playout, but currently uses Google Admanager 360, an ad server, instead, . This collects information about page impressions and click rates and is able to use cookies to display advertisement in a user-optimized way (e.g. regional targeting or limitation of one advertisement display per user, so-called frequency capping). |
Why it is done? | Advertising is optimized for you by collecting and processing your user behavior and plays to your predicted interests. As a user, you benefit by receiving advertising that is more likely to fit your interests and by less random advertisement being played out. |

Application | LinkedIn Insight tag |
Provider | LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Plaza, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland |
Storage period | Permanent function of the pixel and transmission of data to LinkedIn, no storage of user device data at Vogel |
What is done? |
On our websites we use "LinkedIn Insight-Tag" for remarketing purposes. This service allows us to display targeted advertising apart from our websites when you visit the LinkedIn social network. Thus, the LinkedIn Insight tag was implemented on our websites as a remarketing pixel. When you visit our websites, the pixel connects directly to LinkedIn's servers. Advertising is delivered using the information collected through the "LinkedIn Insight tag" and submitted to LinkedIn. This data includes URL, referrer URL, IP address, device and browser properties (user agent), and timestamp. This data is not stored and encrypted by us, but by LinkedIn, IP addresses are truncated and the direct IDs of LinkedIn members are removed within seven days to pseudonymize the data. This remaining pseudonymized data is then deleted within 90 days. We do not have access to this data, but we may receive summaries from LinkedIn about site audience and ad performance. As a LinkedIn member, you can control the use of your personal information for advertising purposes in your LinkedIn account settings. |
Why it is done? | This tracking technology allows us to re-target users who have visited our websites and online services via interest-based advertising on LinkedIn when they are visiting the LinkedIn social network. |
