Creating a user profile and use of online-services
Visitors have the option of using a special registration service provided by Deutsche Messe. This service is available both for trade shows organized by Deutsche Messe, as well as for hosted events staged by other organizers.

The user profile you create by your registration can be used for all Deutsche Messe event websites. The following fields are mandatory for all user categories whereas you can add further data voluntarily:

• Access data: e-mail address and password 
• Personal details: form of address, first name and surname

After creating a user profile you may use various online-services like a ticket-registration (for professional visitors only), a fair planner, and the services "my stored items", "my fair agenda" or the service "match and meet".

In the case of a ticket registration we will process the following mandatory data: e-mail address, first name and surname, sector of industry, job function, country, street/house number, postcode and city. You may enter the following data voluntarily: company, department und position.

You are free to participate in online-surveys concerning your interests and experiences with regard to your visit of the fair.
When using online services the personal data entered will be stored in your profile and processed to offer the services requested. In case of a participation in the service "match and meet" the names of those companies will be stored in a contact list or in a product list which the user has chosen.

All personal data entered when creating a user profile or when using online services will be processed with your consent. Deutsche Messe will also process these data for advertising purposes with your consent. In addition, these mandatory data as well as voluntary data will be transferred to Deutsche Messe Interactive for advertising purposes as well. Details are outlined in the consent declaration. Unfortunately you can not use these services like a ticket registration offered by Deutsche Messe without agreeing to a consent declaration. You may buy a ticket at the entrance of the fair without any registration.
