III. General information regarding data processing
1. Scope of processing of personal data
In principle, we collect and use personal data of our users only to the extent it is required to provide a functioning website as well as for our content and services. The processing of personal data of our users regularly takes place with users consent. An exception applies in cases where it is not possible to obtain prior consent for factual reasons and where the processing of the data is permitted by law.
2. Legal basis for the processing of personal data
To the extent that we obtain consent from the data subject for the processing of personal data, Section 6 Subsection 1 lit. a EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as legal basis for the processing of personal data. For the processing of personal data required to execute a contract whose contractual party is the data subject, Section 6 Subsection 1 lit. b GDPR serves as legal basis. This also applies to processing that is required for the execution of pre-contractually measures. If such processing is required to maintain a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, and if the interests, basic rights and fundamental freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the former interest, Section 6 Subsection 1 lit. f GDPR serves as legal basis for such processing.
3. Data deletion and duration of storage
Personal data of the data subject will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose for storing such data no longer applies. Storage beyond such a period can be effected if such storage is prescribed by the European or national legislative body in provisions pertaining to European Union law or other provisions the data subject is subject to. Blocking or deletion of data is also effected if a storage period expires that is prescribed by the cited standards, unless there is a requirement for further storage of such data to enter into a contract or to execute a contract.
IV. Provisioning of website and creation of logfiles
1. Description and scope of data processing
Any time our web page is visited, our system collects data and information in an automated fashion from the computer system of the accessing computer. The following data is collected in the process:
(1) Information regarding the browser type and the version used
(2) The operating system of the user
(3) The internet service provider of the user
(4) The IP address of the user
(5) Date and time of access
(6) Websites that are accessed by the system of the user via our website
2. Legal basis for the processing of data
Legal basis for the temporary storage of data and the logfiles is Section 6 Subsection 1 lit. f GDPR.
3. Purpose of data processing
The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to facilitate delivery of the website to the computer of the user. To do so, the IP address of the user must remain stored for the duration of the session. Storing of logfiles is effected to ensure the functionality of the website. In addition, such data helps us to optimize the website and to ensure the security of our information technology systems. An analysis of such data for marketing purposes will not be carried out in this context.
4. Duration of storage
Data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to fulfill the purpose of its collection. In the event of collection of data for the provisioning of the website this is the case whenever the respective session ends. In the event of storing of data in logfiles this is after seven days the case at the latest. Storage to exceed such a period is not possible. In such a case, the IP addresses of the users are deleted or redacted so that an allocation of the accessing client is no longer possible.
5. Option for objection and removal
Collection of data for the provisioning of the website and storing of data in logfiles is required for the operation of the web page. Consequently, the user has no possibility to object.
V. Use of cookies
1. Description and scope of data processing

If the registration serves the execution of a contract whose contractual party is the user, or the execution of pre-contractual measures, the additional legal basis for the processing of data is Section 6 Subsection 1 lit. b GDPR.
3. Purpose of data processing
A registration of the user is required for the execution of a contract with the user, or for the execution of pre-contractual measures. Your registration may be an application for membership or an event registration.
4. Duration of storage
Data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to fulfill the purpose of its collection. This is the case for data collected during the registration process for the execution of a contract or for the execution of pre-contractual measures if such data is no longer required for the execution of the contract. Even after having entered into a contract, the requirement to store personal data of the contractual partner may remain in existence to fulfill contractual or statutory requirements.

The legal basis for the processing of data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR if the user has given his consent. The legal basis for the processing of data transmitted in the course of sending an e-mail is Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR.
If the e-mail contact aims at the conclusion of a contract, the additional legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR.
3. Purpose of the data processing
The processing of the personal data from the input mask serves us solely to process the contact. In the case of contact by e-mail, this also constitutes the necessary legitimate interest in processing the data. The other personal data processed during the sending process serves to prevent misuse of the contact form and to ensure the security of our information technology systems.
4. Duration of storage
The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required, to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. For the personal data from the mask of the contact form and those sent by e-mail, this is the case when the respective conversation with the user has ended.

All personal data stored in the course of contacting us will be deleted in this case.
VIII. Forwarding of personal data to third parties
1. Website operators
In line with processing, personal data is forwarded to the agency commissioned to run the website as well as to the technical service provider. The processing of personal data is governed by a separate agreement with the service provider.
2. Social Media Sharing Button
General notice
Social media plugins usually result in every visitor to a page being immediately recorded by these services with their IP address and their further browsing behavior being logged. This can happen even if you do not press the button. To prevent this, we use the Shariff method. In this case, our social media buttons do not establish direct contact between the social network and you until you click the respective share button. If you are already logged in to a social network, this is done without another window for Facebook and Google+. On Twitter, a pop-up window appears in which you can still edit the text of the tweet. You can thus publish our content on social networks without them being able to create complete surf profiles.
3. Eventbrite
On our website we offer you the possibility to register for upcoming events. For this purpose, we use the provider Eventbrite. When you register for an event, you will be redirected to the Eventbrite website. Eventbrite collects personal data. If you provide this data voluntarily when registering for one of our events, Eventbrite subsequently transmits this data to us as the event organizer. We use the data for the preparation and follow-up of the respective event.
The processing of the data is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR.
If you do not wish to register for one of our events via Eventbrite, please contact us at liron@ahkisrael.co.il.
IX. Rights of the data subject
You have the following rights according to the EU General Data Protection Regulation: If your personal data is processed, you have the right to obtain information regarding the storage of your personal data (Section 15 GDPR). If incorrect personal data is processed, you have the right to correction of such (Section 16 GDPR).If legal requirements are given, you have the right to request the deletion or limitation of processing, and you have the right to object to such processing (Sections 17, 18 and 21 GDPR).If you have given your consent to data processing or if a contract exists pertaining to data processing and if such data processing is carried out via automated processes, you have a right to data portability where applicable (Section 20 GDPR).Should you exercise your above-mentioned rights, the Canadian German Chamber of Industry and Commerce will review whether statutory requirements are met.
