If the data is processed for other purposes, you will be informed separately (e.g. in the context of an upright business relationship, when applying as a student or employee).

We process your data, depending on the occasion, on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit a GDPR), a pre-contractual or existing contractual relationship (Art. 6 para. 1 lit b GDPR), a legal obligation (Art. 6 para. 1 lit c GDPR) or overriding legitimate interests of SUAS (Art. 6 para. 1 lit f GDPR).

Data protection information for events

Event registration and participation

This processing is based on an overriding legitimate interest of the Zentrum Alpines Bauen in an exchange of information about current events and offers (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR). You can object to this processing for marketing purposes at any time.
